We’re back and snackin’ on another Easter treat! Disney Springs We’ve been making our way through all the Easter eats in Disney World — guys, that’s a LOT of cupcakes and cookies! And so far, a ton of our treats have been bunny- (and bunny butt)-inspired. But we’re not finished just yet! We’re BACK with yet another bunny butt treat for ya. We hopped (get it?) over to Amorette’s Patisserie at Disney Springs to snag the Bunny Mousse. You’ll get carrot cake with coconut ice cream mousse and a caramel cream cheese center. For some extra springtime flair, there’s glittery grass and chocolate bunny feet we think even Thumper would be jealous of. Bunny Mousse Okay, so this treat is pretty cute, right? But we’re here to EAT, people. When we dug in, we immediately noticed that the spicy carrot cake bottom complemented the sweet coconut. We enjoyed both flavors — especially because the coconut wasn’t too sugary. ANOTHER bunny butt treat! The caramel cream cheese center really tied the whole treat together. No complaints here! If you’re a fan of lighter flavors — think vanilla — you’ll love this dessert. It’s great for kiddos, too! Those feet look like they’ve got Hidden Mickeys! If you really dislike carrot cake, this probably isn’t the treat for you. But if you’re on the fence about those flavors, give it a try! You may be pleasantly surprised. Looks tasty! You can grab a bunny butt (ahem, Bunny Mousse) for yourself for $9 at Amorette’s Patisserie.

Bright Suns, DFB friends! Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios boasts some pretty unique (and tasty) eats and drinks. Besides the fact that you can eat your meal with the COOLEST utensil on the planet (of Batuu, of course), you can also find an assortment of eats like Blue Milk and the popular Ronto Wrap. And, when Disney shared that they would be adding TWO new versions of the Ronto Wrap to the menu, we knew we had to head over to give it a try! The menu at Ronto Roasters now features two new takes on the wrap — one for breakfast and one for lunch and dinner. Here’s the kicker — they’re both vegan. We stopped by early in the day to give the new Triple Suns Breakfast Wrap a try! Ronto Roasters Breakfast Menu The wrap is made with plant-based “egg,” smoky chickpea onion slaw, and roasted tomato sauce wrapped in a warm pita. And, this wrap packs a bit of a SPICY punch! We thought that it almost has a curry taste to the spice, rather than a “burn your tongue, it’s so spicy” spice. We think lots of people could enjoy this level of heat, but if you’re totally averse to spice, maybe steer clear. Welcome to the Ronto Wrap family big guy! Other than the spice, there are a lot of different flavors going on when you bite into the wrap. But, what we enjoyed most was the smoky chickpea onion slaw. We could eat a whole TUB of that with just the pita bread and be happy! Now THAT is a FILLED wrap! The plant-based eggs weren’t as good as we were hoping, though they certainly didn’t prevent us from devouring the entire wrap in one sitting. They do kind of mix in with all the other fillings, so they’re certainly not the star of the show. And, speaking of eating the whole thing, this is definitely a breakfast for those who are hungry. The serving size is on the larger end and all the ingredients made for one filling meal. Truthfully, most Ronto Wrap options can be easily shared if you’re not ravenous. The plant-based eggs were a surprising flavor Overall, we think that this will be a winner for those looking for a filling plant-based option. Would we pick it over the regular morning wrap (that’s basically a regular Ronto Wrap with an egg omelet instead of slaw and sliced pork)? Probably not. It’s good, but the original still takes the advantage here. If you’re thinking of giving this new wrap a try, you can find it on the menu in the mornings for $11.49. If you’re not a fan of heavily spiced foods you probably won’t enjoy this new wrap as much as others. Also, don’t let the words “plant-based” deter you. It still tastes really good. That said, we also really enjoyed the new Zuchii wrap we tried recently. If you’ve got your heart set on a plant-based wrap, we suggest waiting til lunchtime to grab that one. The grilled veggies there are topped with the same chickpea goodness as this one and the whole thing was really flavorful! Click HERE to See Where You Can Find the Coolest SPORK in Galaxy’s Edge!

Planning to visit Disney World in April? Well, then there are quite a few things you should know about! What a view! From brand NEW experiences coming to the parks to BIG savings that will be expiring soon, we’ve got it all here for you. Today, we’re breaking down the 5 things that will be different in Disney World in April! 1. Easter This year, Easter takes place on April 4th. We’ve already seen a whole bunch of Easter and spring-themed snacks and decorations (hello chocolate egg displays) popping up all around Disney World. Such Cute Easter treats available at Beach Club Marketplace! More decorations and snacks are set to be released as Easter gets closer, so you’ll want to be on the lookout for that. What an AWESOME Easter Egg Display There will also be a number of Easter brunches available in Disney World, so you might want to take advantage of some of those! Once Easter passes, those Easter treats and special displays will start to go away. So, be sure to check them out while they’re still available! Click here to see where you can find customized Easter baskets in Disney World! 2. Re-openings April is also set to bring with it a few re-openings. At Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Kali River Rapids is set to reopen. Ready to Ride the Rapids? And *CROSS YOUR FINGERS AND YOUR TOES* the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover is currently set to reopen on April 4th. Oh jeez — yes, we’re here once again — just days away from the potential reopening of the PeopleMover. We’ve basically gotten this close before only to have the PeopleMover’s closure extended (over and over again), so that’s certainly a possibility. PeopleMover But, call us crazy, we’re kind-of hopeful (maybe?) because we heard the beautiful, screeching sound of the PeopleMover’s loading platform being tested recently. Who knows?! Maybe this time our PeopleMover dreams will come true! Click here to see our latest update on the PeopleMover! 3. Last Chance to Get Some BIG Savings or You Could Score Some New Ones! In April, a number of special deals and discounts for your next Disney World trip will also be ending. First Annual Passholders can save up to 40% on select rooms in Disney World for most nights through April 17th. You have until April 17th to book your room and take advantage of this offer. Have you ever stayed at the Yacht and Beach Club? Florida Residents can save up to 35% on select Disney World hotels as well for most nights through April 17th. Again, they have until April 17th to book the room and take advatange of the offer. Seriously, this is one of the prettiest spots! But, when one door closes, another one opens! Two NEW deals will also become available for stays beginning in April. First, Annual Passholders will have the chance to save up to 35% on select hotel stays most nights from April 18th through July 10th. Rooms need to be booked by July 10th to use this offer. Check out this beautiful view at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa And all guests will have the chance to save up to 30% on Disney World hotel stays most nights from April 18th through July 10th.

NEW Food, Characters, and More Coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Earth Day is April 22nd, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom is going ALL OUT to celebrate!

Bee Cupcake There will also be pins, plushes, and more. So, if you’re heading to Animal Kingdom in April, be sure to look for all of these limited-time items! Click here to get more details about all of the limited-time items coming to Animal Kingdom in April! 5. Park Hours and Park Passes While this isn’t necessarily “different” than March, if you’re visiting Disney World in April, you’ll want to pay close attention to those Park Hours and Park Passes. In terms of Park Passes, similar to March, we’ve already seen quite a few days in April filling up. We’ve also seen select Park Passes become available again for some of those days, so that’s something you’ll just want to keep an eye out for. Theme Park Tickets Availability for Park Passes ©Disney Our advice? Be sure to get those Park Passes as soon as you can so that at least you can be sure you’ll get into one park. Then, if more Park Passes become available, you can try to cancel and make a new reservation. Park Passes filled up a lot at the end of March especially, and they could do so again in April especially since spring breaks will still be happening. Click here to learn about Park Passes in Disney World! Park hours are also changing in April. We’ve already seen Disney extend hours for early April, and now they’ve extended hours through more of mid-April as well. Magic Kingdom Park Hours ©Disney Park Pass availability and Park Hours can change quite a bit though, so all of this could change in the future. If you’ve got a trip planned for April, be sure to check the Disney websites often and check back with us for more updates! Click here for our page full of park hours updates! And finally, while this doesn’t relate to Disney World, we couldn’t talk about things happening in April without at least mentioning Disneyland! Disneyland is currently set to reopen on April 30th after having been closed for OVER a year. Guests Will Be Able to Visit Disneyland Soon!! In April, the “A Touch of Disney” event will also be ending at Disney California Adventure Park as that park prepares to officially reopen. Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel will be reopening in April at the Disneyland Resort. And Premier Passholders need to call Disney to get everything arranged to keep their Disney World annual pass in April (they need to call by April 30th). Click here to learn more about the reopening of Disneyland Resort! And those are the biggest things that will be different in Disney World (and a bit of Disneyland) in April. We’ll be keeping an eye out for more updates in the upcoming weeks and months and let you know about all the latest Disney news. Stay tuned for more!

Welcome back to another What’s New at Magic Kingdom! Cinderella Castle We’re takin’ a trip all around the park to show ya what’s new in merchandise, construction, and more. And who knows — we may spot a few characters along the way! Let’s get this show on the road. Magic Kingdom Construction Updates Main Street, U.S.A. Main Street, U.S.A. is switchin’ up their shops! Yesterday, Main Street Confectionery closed for a months-long refurbishment. But don’t worry — you’ll still be able to get your candy fix at Main Street Cinema! You can pick up the Confectionery’s sweet treats pre-packaged there. Main Street Confectionery is officially closed! Disney hasn’t announced when the Confectionery will reopen, but we know the closure will last through June 12th at the earliest. That’s as far out as Disney’s released its park hours and refurbishment calendar for now! We’ll keep you posted as we learn more. Read More About Main Street Confectionery’s New Look! And just around the corner, The Chapeau has closed for refurb, too! You’ll still be able to get hats, ears, and more at Box Office Gifts down the street. They’re even doing embroidery over there! The Chapeau has closed temporarily! Disney hasn’t announced a reopening date for The Chapeau, either, but we’ll keep ya posted. Read More About The Chapeau’s Closure! Prince Charming Regal Carrousel Over in Fantasyland, Prince Charming Regal Carrousel is getting some touch-ups. You can spot new gold leaf painting on the top of the carrousel, around the pictures from the movie. The sparkly paint surrounds images of Cinderella’s wedding… Prince Charming Regal Carrousel is getting some spiffying! …the Fairy Godmother… Hey, Fairy Godmother! …and more! We’ve gotta say, the ride looks pretty snazzy now. Prince Charming Regal Carrousel Gold Leaf Painting This little update is part of a larger makeover coming to Fantasyland this year. We’ll keep an eye out for more changes! Read More About That Fantasyland Makeover! Jungle Cruise Okay, let’s hop over to Adventureland! We spotted a tiny change at the Jungle Cruise, where the FastPass sign has been painted over. Goodbye, FastPass sign! We’ve seen this happen on other rides like Space Mountain and Kilimanjaro Safaris, but we can’t be sure what this little tweak means. But we’ll keep our eye on it! Cinderella Castle Stage Over by Cinderella Castle, the mystery construction treks on. At the castle stage, we’re keeping an eye on the progress as what seem to be wired strips are placed over the wooden frame. Cinderella Castle Stage Construction Progress Disney hasn’t announced what this construction could be for, but we’ve got a sneaking suspicion it’ll be put to good use for Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration! Read More About the Cinderella Castle Stage Construction! Magic Kingdom Merchandise Updates Main Street, U.S.A. We spotted some new merch while out and about, too! On Main Street, U.S.A., we found a black Mickey balloon. While there’s LOTS of colors up for grabs, like sunshine yellow, orange, and green, black balloons are typically only available around Halloween. Black balloon is doing its thing Here’s hopin’ it lasts! Read More About the Black Mickey Balloon! Tomorrowland Light and Power Co. At Tomorrowland Light and Power Co. (that’s the Space Mountain gift shop!), we spotted WandaVision phone cases and magnets. These aren’t for individual sale, but you can make them using Disney’s MaDe software. There are quite a few phone case options… WandaVision Phone Cases …and some fun magnets, too! WandaVision Magnets Of course, the classic WandaVision logo is there, too. WandaVision Magnets If you can’t get enough of the show (just like us!), you may wanna swing by and check them out. Emporium And at the Emporium, we saw the new Pastel Rainbow ears for the first time in Disney World! We’ve previously spotted these in Downtown Disney in Disneyland Resort (and online!), and we’re happy to see ’em on the east coast. OoooOoooo! So Pretty! They’re a gorgeous swirl of purples, blues, and yellows, and you can grab a pair for $29.99! Take a Closer Look at The Pastel Rainbow Ears! Magic Kingdom Additional Updates We ran into LOTS of characters as we were walkin’ around the park! On our way in, we caught the Mickey cavalcade, where the main mouse and his pals gave us a big ol’ wave. Mickey Cavalcade In Frontierland, we stopped to watch the Goofy cavalcade… Hey, Panchito! …and we ran into Anastasia in Fantasyland! Anastasia’s posin’ for the camera! Back at the Main Street Train Station, we saw plenty of princesses, too, like Rapunzel… Rapunzel …Tiana… Tiana …and Elena! Elena We had some pretty good luck spotting characters, don’t ya think?

If you wanna learn how to navigate Disney World like a pro, you’re in luck! Big Thunder Mountain in Disney World We love bringing you the latest Disney tips, from navigating the newest tech to clueing you in on how to get on rides with a shorter wait (and without FastPass!). And today, we’re telling you ALL about the Disney rules you won’t see written down anywhere. They’re unofficial tricks that experts know — and now, you’re gonna know them, too! Let’s get started. 1. To the Left to the Left When you’re navigating a crowd and you’re faced with a fork in the road, we suggest going left! People naturally tend to move towards the right. Just for starters, you may notice shorter wait times at temperature check and security at the park entrances. Security Screening And in Magic Kingdom, most people head right towards Seven Dwarfs Mine Train or Space Mountain at the beginning of the day. Instead, turn left towards Adventureland. You should be able to hop on a few big rides with shorter wait times — and you can take a nice stroll through the land without those heavy crowds! Off to Adventureland! The only time this tip may not work is in Animal Kingdom. Early in the day, a TON of people will turn left towards Pandora. Flight of Passage and Na’vi River Journey are 2 big-ticket attractions, and they draw big crowds pretty early on. If you wanna take the path less traveled, you may want to head right in this condition. Check Out What’s Happening with Rope Drop in Disney World! 2. Wear Your Celebration Button If you’re celebrating a big event like a 1st visit, birthday, engagement, or honeymoon, wear your celebration button loud and proud! You’ll be able to pick one up for free at most gift shops. And if you’re celebrating something unique, grab a blank celebration button instead (they’re the green ones!). Then you can write in your own milestone. Celebration Buttons While it’s not guaranteed, Cast Members will often make some extra magic for guests wearing a celebration button. You could get a free cupcake, a card signed by some characters, and more! Don’t ask for, expect, or take advantage of these freebies — but you may be pleasantly surprised. Check Out Some More Disney World Freebies! 3. Look for Closures Before You Go Refurbishments happen pretty frequently in Disney World, but most of them are announced in advance. If you don’t visit the parks often — or maybe it’s your first trip! — make sure that ride you’re itching to go on will be available (PeopleMover, we’re looking at you!). PeopleMover You can check the refurbishment schedule on Disney World’s website — and we’ll keep ya posted, too! Currently, attractions like the Hall of Presidents, Kali River Rapids, and Swiss Family Treehouse are all down for refurb. Just keep in mind that these schedules can and do change, so nothing’s guaranteed! (PeopleMover, we’re lookin’ at you…again.) The Hall of Presidents You’ll typically see more rides closed in January or other slow seasons. Water rides (like that Kali River Rapids refurb!) will often undergo maintenance during these colder months, too. So while you’ll enjoy lower crowds and wait times that time of year, you may not be able to experience every attraction in the parks. Here’s Everything Closed in Disney World in March! 4. Schedule an Early Breakfast A lot of restaurants have reservation times before park opening, so you can get into the park before anyone else! A Cast Member will check for your reservation at the park entrance and then let you in before official opening. Pretty cool, right?! Who else has had to set their alarm EARLY for their reservation at Be Our Guest Restaurant? You’ll wanna book that early ADR (that’s Disney lingo for an advanced dining reservation!), chow down on your breakfast, and get right in line for a popular ride. For some extra strategy, pick which restaurant you eat at based on which ride you wanna hop on first. Do note, that not everything is open for breakfast right now and things are a little different. So plan accordingly. Here’s Disney’s Best Value Table Service Restaurants! 5. Use the Resort Monorail The crowds can be overwhelming leaving Magic Kingdom at the end of the night! But if you need to go back to your car at the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC), there’s a lesser-known way to get there. Take the Resort Monorail instead of the Express Monorail! Monorail at Disney World That’s right: there are 2 monorail lines that run between Magic Kingdom and the TTC! The Express Monorail will take you directly there and back, and it’s the more popular choice. The Resort Monorail runs between Magic Kingdom and the 3 Magic Kingdom (when things are operating normally) area hotels — but it still stops at the TTC, too! This monorail usually has a shorter line because fewer people are traveling to those Magic Kingdom resorts, and many don’t know that it’ll drop ya off right at the TTC. Skip this one — head to the Resort Monorail to the left instead! On the way back from Magic Kingdom, the Resort Monorail’s only stop before the TTC is Disney’s Contemporary Resort. That extra stop may be worth it if you’re trying to avoid a long line! And just an added tip: we don’t suggest taking the ferry boat at night, either. It takes a while to load and unload — your safest bet is that Resort Monorail. That Resort Monorail Has 1 Less Stop Right Now! 6. Bring Your Own Snacks You can save a lot of money if you choose to pack your own snacks instead of buying them in the parks. And you’ve got a few options for how you wanna do it! For an easy solution, your hotel gift shop stocks lots of food (like bread and lunch meat) that you can use to make your own meals. Panchito’s Gift Shop at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort You can also opt to have your groceries delivered to your resort. Just keep in mind that any Amazon, Fedex, or UPS deliveries will be held at the front desk with a fee of $6 per box. Avoid that fee by using a grocery delivery service with a set arrival window! Grand Floridian Front Desk If you do choose to pack your own snacks for the parks, remember not to bring loose or dry ice. It’s not allowed anymore! Instead, use cooler packs. Decided to Buy Snacks in the Parks? Here’s Our Favorites! 7. Compliment a Cast Member If you meet a Cast Member who goes above and beyond, make sure you let someone know! There’s a few ways that you can make sure your Cast Member compliment gets to the right person. If you’ve got your phone on ya, tweet @WDWToday with the #CastCompliment! Make sure you recognize a Cast Member’s extra effort! You can also reach out to Guest Services by phone or email, or stop by Guest Relations. No matter which method you choose, make sure you provide the Cast Member’s name and the area they were working. If you remember the hometown on their name tag, that doesn’t hurt either! Check Out Some of Our Readers’ Best Cast Member Experiences! 8. Character Calls If someone in your travel party has a birthday, you’ll wanna make sure you know about this one! You can get them a call from Mickey and friends to wish them a happy birthday. If you’ve got a resort phone on hand, dial 8 and then enter 224-2144. You may also be able to get one of these calls from a gift shop — just ask a Cast Member there! Mickey Mouse You can also get a wake-up call from Disney characters by setting the wake-up button on your resort phone with the time. You never know who will call you to get you up and ready for a day in the parks! Here’s More Fun Things Your Disney Hotel Can Do for You! Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, you’re on your way to navigating Disney World like a pro with these hacks! And we’ve got even MORE pro tips for you to discover in this DFB video.

Here at DFB, we LOVE our Gideon’s. Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Cookie In case you haven’t heard, Gideon’s Bakehouse is home to some of our favorite cookies, cakes, and cold brew. And we’re in good company! The Disney Springs spot is prettyyyy popular, with wait times in the virtual queue lasting hours upon hours (luckily, we’ve got some tips for ya!). But if you just can’t get enough of these sweet treats, good news! A never-before-seen cookie is debuting THIS week. On Thursday, April 1st, Gideon’s is unveiling their newest cookie, inspired by Floridian legend Stuart Valencia. As the story goes, Stuart ate oranges for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, until he turned part orange tree, part boy. And now he’s taking a trip from the Florida groves to bring this new recipe to Gideon’s. Kinda spooky, right?! You can read the full story below! While Gideon’s hasn’t specified exactly what flavor this new cookie will be, we’re gonna take a wild guess and say it’ll be orange-inspired. And bonus: Stuart Valencia is stickin’ around for ALL of April, as Gideon’s celebrates Florida all month long. How will this new treat compare to Gideon’s OG Chocolate Chip Cookie?! Of course, we’ll be at Gideon’s tryin’ this new treat — and we’ll be sure to let you know what we think of it! Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news.

There’s a NEW way to navigate Disney World today! ©Disney The NEW Disney MagicMobile service debuted in Disney World today. That means you can now use your Apple Smartphone or watch to scan into the parks in lieu of a MagicBand. Like the other ticket media, this service can be used for other park offerings as well — including Disney PhotoPass! Disney PhotoPass is the souvenir photography offering in Disney World. You’ll spot photographers stationed around the parks and ride photos fall into this service as well. Typically, you’d scan your MagicBand or card with the photographer or at a scanner at the end of a PhotoPass ride to link your photos to your account. Pluto and a PhotoPass Photographer Now, with Disney MagicMobile, you’ll instead present your Disney MagicMobile Pass to the Disney PhotoPass photographers. They’ll scan your Pass, and the photos will be linked to your account. Our Apple Wallet screenshot when our MagicMobile pass was scanned. Voila! Remember, to use MagicMobile, you DO need to have Bluetooth enabled so that your phone can connect with in-park experiences, including the automatic photo linking that happens with some attractions. This automatic photo linking is NEW and means that some attraction photos will automatically appear in your account through your mobile device — no MagicBand needed. @disneyphotopass on Instagram We’ll be giving MagicMobile a try today so stay tuned to DFB as we check out this new way to access offerings in Disney World!

So, hey, we hear you might be planning a trip to Disney World this summer! Cinderella Castle But before you start planning, we’ve got some tips, tricks, and information you’re going to want to know about! Whether this is your first trip or your 100th, things are still pretty different in Disney World. So hang on to your Minnie ears, because we’re going to tell you what you need to plan your trip and do our best to guarantee you have a GREAT time! So going to Disney World this summer is a little different than it’s been before. If you haven’t been to the parks in a few years we’re going to try to prepare you for everything. Trip Planning Changes ADRs Let’s start with Advance Dining Reservations (ADRs). Basically, if you plan on sitting down at a restaurant to eat at all on your trip, you need to know all about these! You used to be able to book these 180 days in advance, but you’ll need to know that you can now only book them 60 days in advance. That COULD change before summer, but we’ll let you know if it does! Want to eat here? Make sure to book your ADRs 60 days in advance. We still HIGHLY recommend booking reservations for restaurants you plan on dining at on your trip. Disney has come out with a same-day option though. Called the Mobile Walk-up Waitlist, this allows guests to see any day-of tables available at nearby restaurants. This is convenient but not the most reliable. So if you’ve got your heart set on a specific location, plan ahead. Early Theme Park Entry Remember Extra Magic Hours? You used to be able to stay at a Disney resort and get some extra time in the parks in the mornings and evenings on specific days for each park. Well, those are gone (for now). Disney plans on introducing a similar-but-different program simply named Early Theme Park Entry. This would let a Disney hotel guest get into ANY park 30 minutes before everyone else. You might be able to get in early! It’s unclear when this will go into effect, but we’ll let you know as soon as it does. FastPass FastPass+ is still not available at the parks right now. Instead, all rides are standby only, except for Rise of the Resistance, which requires a boarding pass. ©Disney Getting a spot for Rise is a whole ordeal in and of itself, so if you want some tips on how best to grab one, we’ve got some great tips right here. Park Hours Park hours are also a LOT different and you’ll need to check the official Disney World website for your trip dates (and check OFTEN because they change frequently). Right now, most parks aren’t open late in the evenings, although hours do occasionally get extended when Disney expects bigger crowds. Be sure to check park hours! In general, expect shorter days that you might be familiar with (sorry, no more 8AM-2AM days for now!). You’ll see slightly later morning openings (especially at EPCOT where we typically see them opening at 11AM!) and earlier evening closes. This means if you want a chance to see Pandora at night in Animal Kingdom or the new lighting at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood Studios, you’ll have to hope for extended hours! Wanna see Pandora at night? Better find a day the park has late hours! Another thing to note is that restaurants and shops do not have the same hours pre-closure — it’s always a good idea to check the official Disney World website for opening times and days. Some restaurants are even only open on weekends or during busy times, so before you make plans to eat somewhere, make sure it’s open!We post regular updates on hours here, so check with us, too! MagicBands If you’ve been to Disney in the better part of the last decade, you’ve likely encountered MagicBands. These little wristbands serve as your tickets, open your Disney hotel room, can make charges to your credit card, and much more. Sadly, the days of free MagicBands are over. BUT, you can easily still use MagicBands from previous trips or buy your own. MagicBands! A huge push to allow guests’ phones to perform many of the functions of a MagicBand has been happening at Disney World recently. Now your phone can open your hotel room door, and even function as your ticket to the park soon! You can also access most of the MagicBand features through the My Disney Experience app. You can also opt to get a free Key to the World card that lets you do almost everything you previously did with a MagicBand. My Disney Experience and Mobile Order Speaking of My Disney Experience, you’ll need to be comfortable using the app, if only to use Mobile Order. Almost every fast-food-style restaurant at Disney World now requires you to place your order via the app (with rare exceptions like guests requiring the assistance of a Cast Member or those paying in cash). Familiarizing yourself with how it works first will save you a lot of time and frustration. Mobile Order sign at Hollywood Studios Note that you can also use the app to order to-go meals from a number of table service restaurants at Disney World, so knowing how to do that in advance could come in handy, too! You can download the My Disney Experience app from home and start playing around with its features before you ever step foot in Disney World! Trust us, knowing the ins and outs of the app will help a LOT! Here’s Everything You Need To Know About My Disney Experience What’s Still Missing If you are planning a trip this summer, it’s likely that some of the pre-closure events and activities will still not be happening in the parks. This includes scheduled parades, which have been replaced with random character cavalcades (basically mini parades with characters) and nighttime entertainment (there are no fireworks right now). Mickey and Minnie on a boat in Animal Kingdom! Character meet and greets are also still not happening, but there are a lot of fun character interactions in the parks — you can see Donald Duck watering plants, watch Pooh catch butterflies, see Chip ‘n’ Dale having a picnic, and more! Chip ‘n’ Dale are having a picnic! As far as nighttime entertainment goes, we’ve been following the construction over at EPCOT of the new nighttime spectacular Harmonious. It’s possible it might premiere this year, but Disney has not revealed any opening dates for that yet. Harmonious Barges Finally, if you’ve enjoyed the Disney Dining Plan in the past, that is also not available at this time. Again, this is something that could change, so keep checking back with us to stay updated! When Could the Disney Dining Plan Return To Disney World? Festivals One thing you can (just about) always count on is visiting Disney World during one of EPCOT’s festivals — these days, it seems like there is ALWAYS a festival going on. The EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival is running all the way into July this year. Last year the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival started early in mid-July and could begin early again this year. Topiaries at Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival 2020 Summer used to be the big “no fest” time of the year in EPCOT but the festivals have started to run longer and longer. A summer trip now means you can likely plan to enjoy all the festival fun EPCOT has to offer! So you might want to plan ahead for festival activities and foods in advance! Again, we cover EVERY festival, so be sure to check with us if you want to know what’s going on! FREE Things You Can Do at the 2021 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival! Expect Crowds Things have really been picking up at Disney World. Though the parks were almost like ghost towns last summer after reopening, people have started to return to the parks. We’ve seen the parks at full capacity throughout most of spring break — this might continue into summer. Look at that line! Granted, the current capacity is still at 35%, so these crowds might seem high, but they don’t look like pre-closure summer crowds at all. However, Disney World could increase capacity at any time based on new health and safety guidelines. Want to stay up to date? Join our newsletter so you can be the first to know when that happens! What Will It Take to Increase Disney Theme Park Capacity? What’s Reopening? Just because Disney World will have been reopened for over a year by the time summer rolls around doesn’t mean everything is open like it once was! A number of hotels and attractions are still closed. Some have reopening dates on the horizon. Polynesian Village Resort Although we don’t have a specific date when Disney’s Polynesian Resort will reopen, Disney has told us it will be this summer. That means that everything that’s currently closed there could reopen, too. We’re keeping our eyes out to see if fan-favorite ‘Ohana reopens with the resort. If you’ve got a craving for that Bread Pudding, there’s a chance you might be able to get it by then! (If not, just swing by next door to Tambu Lounge to get a slice there!) New Moana themed rooms at the Polynesian ©Disney Also, note that the Polynesian will look a lot different – it’s getting some new Moana-inspired theming! The regular guest rooms will be getting Moana makeovers as well as the lobby area. Disney Vacation Club rooms are currently still open and those will remain unchanged. Wilderness Lodge Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is set to reopen on June 6th. Wilderness Lodge Currently, only the Disney Vacation Club’s Boulder Ridge Villas and Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Wilderness Lodge are open, but the entire resort will open up to all guests in the summer. Beach Club Resort Disney’s Beach Club Resort reopens May 30th, which gives you another great Deluxe hotel option. Beach Club Resort This resort is known for the incredibly cool and massive Stormalong Bay pool (OK, less “pool” more “mini water park”). If you plan on spending any time at the pool or expect you’ll be visiting EPCOT a lot, this is a great hotel to pick. All-Star Movies Resort If a Deluxe resort is a bit out of your price range, don’t fret. All-Star Movies has just recently reopened! All-Star Movies Note that All-Star Sports and All-Star Music are both still closed. BUT, if you’re looking for some fun-themed and less costly accommodations, this is a really fun option. Blizzard Beach If you’re looking for some fun in the sun, Blizzard Beach has officially reopened! We were there on its reopening day to get you details about what it’s like to wear a mask there and what activities and food are available. Toboggan Racers at Blizzard Beach Typhoon Lagoon remains closed, but if you’re looking to beat the heat this summer, you DO have one water park to cool down in! Shows Although many shows are still on hiatus after reopening, Disney did reveal that Festival of the Lion King at Disney’s Animal Kingdom will reopen this summer — so be sure to check the Disney World website for dates and times! Click Here To Read About the Reopening of Blizzard Beach! What’s Still Closed There are some resorts that will possible still remain closed this summer. Disney has not yet announced opening dates for the following resorts: Animal Kingdom Lodge (Vacation Club rooms are currently open) All-Star Sports Resort All-Star Music Resort Boardwalk Inn (Vacation Club rooms are currently open) Port Orleans Riverside and French Quarter Resorts One of our FAVORITE resort lobbies…Jambo House! There’s also a lot of entertainment not happening at the parks right now. Live musical performances have returned to the parks, but they’re modified. For example, the Dapper Dans no longer sing down Main Street, U.S.A., but sing from the Main Street, U.S.A. station or while riding the trolley car. Dapper Dans Some entertainment may never return to Disney World. Some performers were laid off last year, including many of our favorites — the Grand Floridian Orchestra, the Citizens of Main Street, performers from the Hoop-Dee-Doo-Revue, and more. Disney has not revealed what entertainment might look like come summer, but we’ll keep you updated. We really miss the Citizens of Main Street Disney has not released a statement about the remaining live shows at the parks that didn’t return when Disney World reopened. 2 Disney World Rides Have Been Closed for Over a YEAR General Tips So you’re going on a summer trip. Guess what that means? It’s going to be HOT and HUMID. The most important thing you can do for yourself is to stay hydrated — drink lots of water. And don’t forget, you can get free water at the parks rather than pay for an overpriced bottle of water (or bring your own). You might also want to consider bringing a cooling towel or portable fan for your own personal comfort. Sleepy Hollow Free Water What about those masks? You will likely still need to wear a mask at Disney World in the summer, so our recommendation is to bring more than one mask per day — have an extra one handy. You’re going to sweat, and changing into a dry mask at some point will feel like a luxury. Also, sometimes they do get lost or wet — so having a backup mask is always a good idea. Orange Bird Mask! If you have a foldable raincoat or poncho, bring it with you to the parks. Disney sells ponchos but they’re…pricey! Those are expensive sheets of plastic… . Being summer it likely will rain. And it will be random. Florida is notorious for sudden rainstorms, and that’s even on days when the forecast doesn’t call for rain. Don’t be fooled by a deceptively bright and sunny day outside. It can change in a flash! Trust us — be prepared. Pack some Ponchos! Finally, you’ll want to plan some downtime because it will be SO HOT (and possibly crowded) in the parks. Take a break in the middle of the day and hit the resort pool. Or plan a full day where you just hang out at your resort and just chill. You can pop over to Disney Springs for the day or just an afternoon if you want to get away from the hustle of the parks for a bit. Disney Springs Looking to stay in the parks? Find those sit-down shows in each park (stuff like Carousel of Progress in Magic Kingdom or Muppet-Vision 3D in Hollywood Studios). This will give you a long much-needed break in the cool air conditioning! Your body will thank you. Reservations NOW Available for Moana-themed Rooms at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! We hope this helps you in planning your trip to Disney World this summer. In many ways, things will seem very different from past “normal” summers, but in many ways, it’s all really just the same! As always, we’ll keep you updated on any changes that could affect your future trips.

Some exciting new technology has officially arrived in Disney World! ©Disney Las week, we shared that Disney’s new MagicMobile service had rolled out on select Apple devices, and we gave ya a step-by-step guide on how to set it up. The new technology, which Disney announced earlier this month, essentially lets your phone become your MagicBand! And now, all Apple users are able to access this new features on their smart devices (yup, that includes Apple watches!). While the service is initially only available to Apple users, it’ll roll out to Android users, too, later this year. You’ll be able to enter theme parks, connect PhotoPass photos, and access the Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance virtual queue with your pass. And soon, you’ll be able to charge to your Disney hotel with MagicMobile, just like you would with a MagicBand! Now, let’s break down exactly how to get ya all set up. ©Disney After you’ve hit “Set Up Your Pass,” you’ll be directed to select your name and MagicMobile pass style. You’ve got LOTS of options, including special designs for Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members! ©Disney Once you’ve picked your style, you’ll have the option to add passes for other people in your party. ©Disney Go on and add whoever you want — then add all your passes to your digital wallet! ©Disney You’ll also be able to select which of your passes you want to be your Express Pass. You won’t have to have your phone awake or unlocked to use the Express Pass — you can just tap it at any touchpoint to do what you need to do. For your other passes, you’ll have to unlock your phone and pull ’em up in your digital wallet manually. ©Disney To use MagicMobile features like automatic PhotoPass linking, unlocking your hotel room door, and more, you’ll need to make sure you’ve enabled Bluetooth. And you won’t be able to use your Express Pass to unlock your door — you’ll have to manually pull it up through your MagicMobile pass in the My Disney Experience app. That’s just another layer of security for you! ©Disney More MagicMobile features — like charging to your hotel room! — will continue to roll out throughout 2021. All you Android users out there will gain access to the service, too! And if you prefer the tech-free lifestyle, your MagicBand or Key to the World will remain fully functional.

If you’re heading to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, then there are several treats that you’ll probably want to try! The most controversial milk in the galaxy! You’ll want to stop by the Milk Stand to try out blue and green milk, and you may want to snag a reservation at Oga’s Cantina to test out some of the more “unique” drinks in the galaxy. A fan-favorite snack that we highly recommend is the Ronto Wrap from Ronto Roasters — but did you know that you can find it elsewhere with a BONUS side? Today, we were visiting the lovely planet of Batuu and we were starting to get a little famished, so we stopped by the local watering hole, Docking Bay 7. And after 3PM, you’ll find the Ronto Wrap on the menu here. Would ya look at that?! At Ronto Roasters, this meal (or snack, depending on how hungry you are) is $12.99, but here at Docking Bay 7, it’s $13.99. Why the price hike? Because this version comes with a side of chips! A Ronto Wrap AND chips! Warning, though: these are not regular potato chips. They’re made of plantain and other root vegetables for a healthier option. The reporter who tried them said they reminded her of Terra Chips. Don’t be fooled by these multicolored chips. But, for just $1 more, you get a side with your Ronto Wrap, and we think that’s a pretty delicious deal! Remember, you’ll only be able to order this at Docking Bay 7 after 3PM, so until then, you’ll have to stop by Ronto Roasters instead. Yeah, we think we’ll be getting this deal again. We’ll make sure to keep an eye out for any other interesting menu updates in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB. We’ve got the latest news from Walt Disney World to share with you!

Things related to the COVID-19 pandemic have been developing and changing recently in light of vaccines continuing to being distributed and more individuals becoming eligible to receive them. Health and Safety Signs in Disney World Earlier this year, we shared that vaccine passports may be required to travel and for other special, large events. Even more recently, we shared how various vaccine passport systems are in the works and how a vaccine passport may be required by certain businesses as things start to return to some sense of normalcy. But now we’ve got an update about vaccine passports as they relate to the State of Florida. According to WESH 2 News, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently commented on the news surrounding vaccine passports. Governor DeSantis specifically said, “we are not supporting doing any vaccine passports in the state of Florida.” Physical Distancing Signs In a recent press conference, DeSantis stated, “It’s completely unacceptable for either the government or the private sector to impose upon you the requirement that you show proof of vaccine to just simply be able to participate in normal society.” DeSantis shared how Florida has emphasized that they would provide the vaccine for all, but mandate it for none. He said the state will not make its residents get the COVID-19 vaccine, and that he would not support vaccine passports in the state. Flying to Orlando According to U.S. News & World Report, DeSantis has said that he also intends to issue an executive order forbidding local governments and businesses in Florida from requiring “vaccine passports” to show that customers have been vaccinated. DeSantis called on Florida’s Republican-led legislature to send him a measure for his signature that would enshrine the matter into law. Orlando Airport At the moment, various vaccine passport programs appear to be in the works for the U.S. and in the works for countries around the world as well. Some industries and companies have indicated that they will require guests to be vaccinated in order to enter or participate. For example, Royal Caribbean International has indicated that only vaccinated adults (and younger individuals with a negative COVID-19 test) will be allowed to board upcoming cruises. We’ll continue to keep an eye out for more updates and let you know what we see. Click here to read more about the developing situation about vaccine passports.

As the situation with the global pandemic continues to develop, we’ve seen a variety of changes made and other news announced. Disney World’s Health and Safety Signs So far, President Biden has indicated that the U.S. could have enough vaccines for all adults by May, and has directed states to make all adults eligible for the vaccine by May. California and Florida have already started to announce expansions in terms of eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine, and Dr. Fauci has indicated that COVID-19 guidelines could loosen by July. And, now we’ve got an update on “vaccine passports” and what you might need to travel or participate in certain activities in the future. According to The Washington Post, President Biden’s administration along with private companies are “working to develop a way of handling credentials…that would allow Americans to prove they have been vaccinated” against COVID-19. This is what has often been referred to as a “vaccine passport” or what some call “vaccine credentials.” Again, as the Post notes, these would essentially allow individuals to prove they’ve been vaccinated. Flying On a Pretty Empty Airplane In February, we shared that there was already some talk of developing vaccine passports which could be required for international travel or large-scale events. It seems now, the effort to develop vaccine passports has gained momentum as the situation with the pandemic continues to develop. As The Washington Post reports, some officials have indicated that COVID-19 guidelines could be loosened by this summer, and now a growing number of companies have said they will require proof of vaccination before opening up again. We have seen some companies indicate this already, like Royal Caribbean International whose guidelines for returning to cruising indicated that only vaccinated adults (and younger individuals with negative COVID-19 tests) would be able to board upcoming cruises. Orlando International Airport The U.S. isn’t alone in this vaccine passport effort though. Other countries have been working on their own passport plans. But, U.S. officials say they’re dealing with all kinds of challenges including health-care equity and data privacy. They’re trying to develop a system that Americans can use to prove they’ve been vaccinated, but also want to make sure that the system cannot be easily hacked, that they are preventing against fraud, and that any passports created cannot be easily counterfeited. There are also a number of different passport initiatives already underway to deal with. In fact, there are apparently at least 17 different passport initiatives underway such as one led by the World Health Organization and a digital pass being created by IBM. Officials have warned about the “confusing array” of efforts that are already underway to create these passports. If the approach to the vaccine passport is too chaotic, some warn it could be ineffective. Flying to Orlando According to some slides prepared by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, proof of vaccination may be critical, however, to “restoring baseline population health and promoting safe return to social, commercial, and leisure activities.” Some officials have indicated that they are concerned with making sure that low-income populations aren’t squeezed out. Micky Tripathi, who was selected by President Biden as the national coordinator for Health IT, said in a recent meeting, “How do we make sure that whatever is available is accessible to everyone so no one is left behind or feeling like they can’t participate in the return of their day-to-day activities?” Physical Distancing Signs Some have indicated that these vaccine credentials could also help officials understand COVID-19 vaccinations better, including potential long-term side effects, if the data is connected with some health information. The Biden administration is expected to provide more information about its efforts relating to the vaccine passport soon. We’ll continue to keep an eye out for more updates on this situation.

We’re a little over six months away from the beginning of the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebrations, and we’ve been seeing quite a few attractions close for refurbishment leading up to the festivities. Preparations are underway for the 50th Anniversary celebrations! Over at Magic Kingdom, Cinderella Castle has been getting some TLC with a new paint job, some fixes to the stage area, and even some new decorations. We’ve also seen a few rides undergo maintenance such as Mad Tea Party and Peter Pan’s Flight. And, the next item on Disney’s punch list is here and it involves the temporary closure of one of the sweetest shops in the park. As of today, the Main Street Confectionery is temporarily closed. We spotted this closure at the beginning of the month, so hopefully, you got in all the cupcakes, cookies, and treats you could before it closed down for its lengthy refurbishment. The home of Disney’s sweetest treats! When we passed by the shop on Main, Street, U.S.A., it was completely shuttered. Disney recently shared some details about what it’ll look like when it reopens — including some new interactive elements! — and we’re excited to see work begin. Main Street Confectionery is officially closed! In the mean time, you’ll be able to get your sweets at Main Street Cinema, which is the temporary home of Main Street Confectionery’s wares. Head over to Main Street Cinema for sweet treats in the meantime! Of course, we hopped over to Main Street Cinema to check out the recently reopened shop! Plenty of candies and snacks were on display throughout the space. Main Street Cinema has a new look! We spotted pre-packaged Confectionery favorites like candy apples, cookies… You’ll get your goodies pre-packaged here! …and Rice Krispie treats! Instead of a Cast Member retrieving any of your picks from a bakery case, you’ll grab ’em for yourself to carry to the register. Rice Krispie Treats! There’s also a selection of other snacks to choose from, like pretzels, chocolate, and gummy candy. There are plenty of other snacks, too! Currently, the Main Street Confectionery will be closed through at least June 12th, 2021. We say “at least” because Disney World has only released park hours and the refurbishment scheduled through that date. So, it is quite possible that this temporary closure could last longer. We will keep an eye out for more updates and share them with you! Click Here for More Details on the Confectionery’s New Look!
