Recently, Disneyland Resort announced that it would reopen its theme parks at the end of April. Disneyland Although Disney World was able to open in July of 2020, Disneyland has been unable to open until now because of the strict guidelines the state of California set for theme parks to be able to open. Now, California has released updated theme park reopening guidelines as the biggest theme parks in Southern California prepare to reopen. Today, the state of California released their COVID-19 guidance for theme parks. One of the guidelines is that employees must develop a program that allows for optional testing on a weekly basis for any workers who may encounter other employees. Disneyland Hotel Another aspect of the guidelines is that indoor rides must be limited to no more than 15 minutes. All queues for attractions or rides must be outdoors, and there should be plexiglass installed to ensure that there is at least six feet between groups. Also regarding rides, household members should be boarded in the same vehicle if possible, and passengers from different households should continue to be at least six feet apart. Loading patterns for ride vehicles may need to be adjusted to accommodate physical distancing. Lamplight Lounge! Similarly to Disney World, face coverings are mandatory unless actively eating or drinking, and guests who do not comply will be asked to leave. Pixar Pier at Night There are specific guidelines for performers as well, and performers are not required to wear a face covering during their performance if it is not feasible. However, unmasked performers must be six feet away from any other people. All unmasked performers must take a COVID-19 test at least twice per week if they come into close contact with other performers who are also unmasked. Cars Land The guidelines also state that guests are only allowed to eat and drink in designated areas. Just like in Disney World, guests cannot eat or drink while waiting for an attraction. Disneyland Health and Safety Sign Some of these guidelines are similar to what we have seen in Disney World, and some are brand new. We’ll be on the lookout for more information regarding the reopening of the Disneyland theme parks, so stay tuned for more information.

We’ve eaten some pretty outrageous donuts since Everglazed Donuts and Cold Brew opened, and we have ZERO regrets. Yes, donuts DO make us happy! That includes a ridiculously fun, St. Patrick’s Day Donut, a HUGE Chocolate Paradise Donut, and a SWEET (in more ways than one) Strawberry Deluxe Donut! And we’re just getting started! So when we found out there’s a new donut in town…err…in Disney Springs, we headed over to Everglazed to try it out. And guess what! It came out earlier than exppected. Meet the Rollin’ With The Peeps Donut, and yes, that’s a PEEP on it! We paired the donut with the recommended Strawberry Sour Patch Frozen Lemonade because YOLO. And just look at this thing! It’s SO CUTE. There’s a PEEP on our donut! The donut is a yeast glazed donut dipped in vanilla frosting and topped with pastel candy decorations, green buttercream “grass,” a malted milk ball “Easter egg,” and a Peep. So we get that not everyone loves peeps and malted milk balls, but these are two of our reporters’ favorite candies! So this donut is a win-win for us! This is the springiest spring donut ever. So, the donut was obviously super fresh, but Peeps are very particular candies, and more often than not, you get a gross stale one (although some people prefer them stale). This peep, though, was fresh — whew! We also really liked the crunch the malted milk balls gave to this snack! So light and fluffy inside! Now on to the Strawberry Sour Patch Frozen Lemonade. This is Strawberry Lemonade with Sour Patch Kids in it — no, really! This turned out to be a great option for those who might not be coffee fans and want a different option than the usual cold brews. It’s both sweet AND tart, but the strawberry flavor comes through, too. Strawberry Sour Patch Lemonade We got the Donut and Lemonade combo for $12 — it’s from March 29th through April 4th. We’ll continue trying all the Easter treats at Disney World, so keep checking back for more reviews! Cheesy Bacon Donut?!

From face scanning technology being tested in Disney World to more details about turning your phone into your MagicBand — this week has been FULL of exciting Disney news. Dreaming of Castle Views Like This We’ve gotten an update on some of those BIG movie releases we’ve all been waiting a while for, and quite a few things reopened or became available again in Disney World. So, now let’s jump into the 8 biggest Disney news stories from this week that you NEED to know about! 1. Face Scanning Technology is Being Tested in Disney World This past week, Disney World announced that it would be testing a new facial recognition software in Magic Kingdom. With this technology, Disney will capture an image of your face, convert it into your own personal number, and associate that number with your park admission So, of course, we made our way to Magic Kingdom to test it out. Let’s Get Scanning! The system is currently only being tested and it is entirely optional. If you don’t want to use the face scanning tech, you can simply get into another line where the facial recognition software is not being tested. If you DO participate in the test, you’ll basically just scan your ticket, and then look up at a screen. Once it does it’s thing, you’ll be on your way! Click here to watch a video of what our experience was like with the face scanning test! 2. Turn Your Phone Into Your MagicBand Recently, Disney announced the NEW MagicMobile feature would be coming which would allow you to essentially use your phone to do many of the same things that your MagicBand can do. This week, we got more information about the new feature and how it’ll function. We got more details about how the new system will let you use your phone to enter the theme parks and even connect PhotoPass photos your account. Would You Rather Scan Your Phone or Your MagicBand? ©Disney And then we actually got a look at how to set up your MagicMobile Pass through the My Disney Experience app and we shared a step-by-step guide for you to use! It is currently rolling out in phases on select Apple devices. We also reached out to you — our readers — and asked which you’d rather use: MagicBands or MagicMobile, and let’s just say the winner was VERY clear. Click here to see what our readers said about using MagicBands vs. MagicMobile! 3. Some of Your Favorites Are Back and Others Are Temporarily Closing This week, a few spots reopened around Disney World, but others temporarily closed. In EPCOT, the Rose & Crown Dining Room reopened after having been closed for a little while for refurbishment. Rose and Crown Dining Room has reopened! So, if you’re looking for some British fare in EPCOT, this spot is available again! Click here to see a first look at the reopened Rose & Crown! In Magic Kingdom, we got QUITE a few re-openings and closings. The Main Street Confectionery is set to close soon for a lengthy refurbishment. We already knew that, but this week we got more details about the new look coming to this spot. The home of Disney’s sweetest treats! While the store is closed, you’ll still be able to find some sweet treats over at the Emporium and Main Street Cinema (which is currently closed to make way for this new merch). Looking for the artsy items you used to find at Main Street Cinema? You’ll find that over at Bonjour Gifts for now while all of this refurbishment is taking place. Bonjour Gifts reopened this week with those new artsy items. Lots of art is for sale here now! The Chapeau on Main Street, U.S.A. is also closing for a bit of refurbishment. But, the hats and ears that used to be sold there have moved over to Box Office Gifts (at the Town Square Theater) in the meantime. Box Office Gifts That’s quite the bit of shuffling around!

Disneyland Expansion Announced This week, we also got some BIG news out of Disneyland. Recently, they shared their newest endeavor — DisneylandForward — which is basically a multi-year planning effort between Disney and the City of Anaheim focusing on updating existing development rules to allow Disney to invest in Disneyland Resort and potentially expand its parks. DisneylandForward©Disney Disney has clarified that they’re not seeking to get additional land, but instead looking to make some changes to the current way that specific areas are zoned/districted to give them more flexibility for future plans. There are still a LOT of details that Disney hasn’t shared about their future plans, but we’ve worked to break down their concept art showing the potential changes that could be coming down the line for Disneyland. Click here to see more details about DisneylandForward! And that’s all of our biggest news this week! Aside from those giant updates, we also got: a peek at when cruising could start up again, a look at the NEW Disney World 50th Anniversary license plate, info about NEW activities coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom in April, a look at the Easter egg hunt activity that has started up in EPCOT, and even information about how you could win a FREE TRIP to Disney World!!!

Magic Kingdom The Main Street Confectionery is set to close soon for a LENGTHY refurbishment, the Castle is in the process of getting 50th Anniversary decorations placed on it, and some rides will be getting fancy new details soon.

Yesterday, we shared a look at some NEW Minnie Ears that arrived in Disneyland. These ears had the WHOLE DFB team fighting. What color do YOU think these ears are? Purple? Blue? Periwinkle? It’s the color-changing dress issue all over again!! These totally remind you of flowers, right? Well, now the ears have made their way to Disney World, but they’re not alone! We also spotted another BRAND NEW pair of ears today (and thankfully these are not making us fight over the color). Okay, let’s start off with the ears that have caused a massive debate within the DFB team. What color do you see? Our DFB reporter who spotted them in Disneyland said they were purple, but some people are seeing other colors. Please tell us in the comments and help us settle this! The ears themselves are covered in sparkly sequins and they have a rather unique bow in the middle. Is it meant to be an ’80s inspired look? Are we going for more of a scrunchie-type feel? Are they meant to be like flowers? SO MANY QUESTIONS. Are You a Fan of These Ears? You can snag these ears fr $29.99 and try to answer ALL of those questions as you wear them around the park. Near these debate-inspiring ears, we also found these purple and pink cuties! So Fun! The insides of the headband on these ears are lined in pink to match that puffy pink bow in the center. And the sides of the ears are covered in purple sequins. If you’re a fan of purple and pink, and you LOVE puffy bows, this might be just the thing for you. New Ears You can get this pair for $29.99. We spotted both of these new pairs of ears in the Emporium in Magic Kingdom. 2 New Ears Coming Your Way What ears will Disney think of and release next? Last year they released 98(!!!!) pairs of ears. Will we get MORE than 98 pairs of new ears this year? Only time will tell! We’ll keep an eye out for more new ears and other Disney items for you to add to your collection. Stay tuned for more updates from us here at DFB!

As Disney Cruise Line sailings remain suspended, policies are constantly changing. Disney Cruise Line Sailings are currently canceled through August 2021, but Disney hopes to resume limited operations in the fall. And just today, they announced that a special staycation experience is on its way to the UK! So what does all of this mean for the policies currently in place? First of all, Disney Cruise Line has added some messaging to their website about their UK staycation cruises. They state that while their normal Disney Magic sailings from Barcelona, Civitavecchia, and Dover are still canceled through August 10th, their new UK voyages will take place. ©Disney We’ve also got some updates on their cancellation and flexibility policies. Previously, we shared that these policy extensions were available through August 31st, 2021. Now, they’ve been extended through September 30th. Disney Magic Guests who have cruises booked through September 2021 will be able to make their final payment up to 60 days before sailing, as long as you’re booked in an unrestricted stateroom category. The cancellation fee schedule has also been relaxed through September, according to the details below: ©Disney Cruise date flexibility has also been extended! You can change your sail date up to 15 days before embarkation for any sailings booked by April 30th and scheduled to sail on or before September 30th. 2021-disney-cruise-line-flexible-refund-policy And if you have a COVID-related health concern (symptoms or exposure) within 14 days of sailing, you can receive a full refund with no cancellation fees — or you can apply your fare to a future cruise. ©Disney We’ll keep an eye on any future changes to Disney Cruise Line’s policies.

Just like that, we’re approaching the end of March and we’re heading into April ALREADY. 2021 is really flying by, isn’t it? If you’re heading to Disney World next week, you’re probably wondering what the crowd situation will look like! Mickey Balloooooooons The spring break crowds have been coming full force to Disney World (at least in whatever way they can, given the resort’s current capacity limits), and for the week of March 28th, they don’t seem to show any signs of slowing. That’s because we can look at our weekly roundup of park hours and Disney Park Pass Reservation availability (or lack thereof) to give us some hints! Disney World Park Hours the Week of March 28th Across the board, each of the four theme parks have the same daily hours of operation as they did last week. Magic Kingdom will be open daily from 8AM-9PM. Hi There, Disney World EPCOT will be open each day for the week of March 28th from 11AM-11PM. If you’re looking to visit the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, those hours will also be from 11AM-11PM. Spaceship Earth Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be open daily next week from 9AM-8PM. Disney’s Hollywood Studios Last but not least, Disney’s Animal Kingdom will be open next week from 8AM-8PM daily. Tree of Life As we’ve seen over the last few weeks, each park has consistent park hours every day of the week. Like we mentioned last week, when a Tuesday has the same park hours as a Saturday, that’s a strong indication that the crowds will be relatively the same every day — or at least Disney is preparing for the crowd levels to be the same all week. Click here to take a look at what some of the spring break crowds have been like! Current Disney Park Pass Reservation Availability the Week of March 28th Now, let’s take a look at the current availability of Park Pass Reservations for the week of March 28th. Select Resort Hotels If you’re a guest staying at a Select Resort Hotel, we hope you grabbed those Park Pass Reservations by now! For the remainder of the month of March, Park Pass Reservations are only available at EPCOT on select days (you’ll see them indicated in yellow below). The other days are completely full and Park Passes are not available at any of the parks on those days that appear in grey in the calendar below. Therefore, EPCOT could see lower crowds than the other parks! Park Pass Availability Select Resort Hotels ©Disney For the part of next week which takes place in early April, again Park Passes appear to only be available for EPCOT for guests at Select Resort Hotels. Park Pass Availability Select Resort Hotels ©Disney Theme Park Tickets Things look similar for guests with Theme Park Tickets. On March 28th and March 31st, there appear to still be Park Passes available for EPCOT only. March 29th and 30th, however, appear to be completely booked. Theme Park Tickets Park Pass Availability ©Disney From April 1st through the 3rd, again only Park Passes for EPCOT appear to be available at the moment for guests with Theme Park Tickets. Theme Park Tickets Park Pass Availability ©Disney This is very similar to what we saw last week. EPCOT seems to have the most openings! Annual Passholders Things are a little different for Annual Passholders looking to book a Park Pass Reservation, however! On March 28th and March 29th, Park Passes are available at select parks. Right now, all parks except Disney’s Hollywood Studios are available on March 28th. All parks except Magic Kingdom are available on March 29th. And all parks are available March 30th and 31st. Annual Passholders Park Pass Availability ©Disney On April 1st and April 3rd, Park Passes are available at all of the theme parks for Annual Passholders! On April 2nd, however, Park Passes are available for all parks except Hollywood Studios for Passholders. Annual Passholders Park Pass Availability ©Disney If you’re heading to Disney World next week, get ready for some of those spring break crowds to still be around! Since spring break falls into different weeks on people’s calendars, we can expect park hours and Disney Park Pass Reservation to be more or less the same for the next few weeks as we head into April. This could also be a strong indication of what we can expect this summer if Disney World’s capacity does not change by then! Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Be sure to follow along as we continue to bring you the latest park hour information and the most up-to-date Park Pass Reservation System availability!

Spring is in full swing in Disney World! Flower and Garden If you’re getting set for a trip to Disney World next week, you’ll probably want to know what to expect when it comes to the forecast. So, we’re here with a full weather update for your week in Disney! Weather Forecast According to The Weather Channel, the week will start off hot and mellow out a little later. Last week was on the warm side, so we’re certainly feeling that Florida springtime. If only Florida could make up its mind when it comes to weather. But NOPE…that would make packing and planning too easy. March 29th Monday, March 29th will start the week with pretty warm temperatures. That day is going to max out at an 87-degree high and we’ll see 68 degrees at night. ©The Weather Channel You probably won’t need to worry about being too chilly but you will need to keep an eye out for a possible shower! March 30th The next day, March 30th, brings us even warmer temps hitting a hot day at 89 degrees during the day and keeping that low down at a comfy 69 degrees. ©The Weather Channel You’ll probably be comfy in a tee all day but don’t leave that poncho at home. March 31st On Wednesday, March 31st, we’re going to see temps jump up a little bit more to the highest of the whole week. Your low is gonna hang out in about the same place! These are pretty warm temps we’re sticking with! ©The Weather Channel There won’t be any rain to mellow out the heat either! April 1st For Thursday, April 1st, we’re seeing a day with more warm temps in the high-80s and a BIG drop in the evening to the mid-50s. Whew! ©The Weather Channel It’s not time to leave those layers at home just yet! That evening could be chilly! April 2nd The week continues with a significant drop in daytime temps to the lowest of the week on April 2nd. ©The Weather Channel Later in the week, you don’t worry too much about rain! But those temperatures are certainly cooling off. April 3rd Saturday, April 3rd brings us more moderate temps in the low-70s and another dry day. ©The Weather Channel Here, we’ll see a 73-degree high and a 56-degree low. April 4th And we’ll wrap up our week on April 4th with a VERY comfortable day temperature-wise. It might be the nicest day of the whole week! ©The Weather Channel It’s another uptick in temperatures, but not so high that you’ll be hot. Overview of the Week Here is a full overview of the week according to The Weather Channel. Temperatures are projected to be hot at the beginning of the week and then they will cool down a bit. Oh, and get ready for some chilly nights! We’re looking at a range of 70s to 80s highs and 50s to 60s lows. ©The Weather Channel Other websites like Click Orlando News 6… ©Click Orlando News 6 …and WESH 2 News have similar forecasts throughout the week. ©WESH 2 News We only see a little bit of rain but Florida can be a fickle thing! We recommend keeping a rain layer handy — just in case. Click here for tips to survive Disney World weather! Tips for Weathering the Weather! Now that we know the weather, we’ve got a few tips on how to pack and plan so you stay comfortable! Have a rain and chill plan. It might be a light rain week and that will be AWESOME but that doesn’t mean you should forgo tossing the poncho into your park bag. You always want to be prepared in case of a quick shower! Poncho and Umbrella And be ready for those cooler nights too! Seeing 80-degree temperatures could certainly make the best of us forget a jacket, but you might regret it during those mid-50s evenings. Get ready for the heat! Yep, you need to prep for a chill AND a sweat this week! High 80s days can mean an uncomfortable level of warmth so it’s SUPER important to get ready for those warmer temps. Wearing Masks in the Parks Wear sunscreen, dress comfortably, bring an extra mask, and STAY HYDRATED. This is so, so, so important to keep you having your BEST Disney vacation, even in the hot sun!

Walt Disney Imagineering is the brains behind all your favorite rides in the parks. We’re on our way to see the Yeti! And lately, there’s been some changes goin’ on among the team! You may have heard that Imagineer Joe Rohde retired this year after 40 years with the company. And just a few days ago, the President of Walt Disney Imagineering got a new title and job description — according to his Linkedin profile, at least. Now, another Imagineer is getting a new title. Barbara Bouza was named the President of Business Operations, Design & Delivery for Walt Disney Imagineering last summer. Now, according to her Linkedin profile, she is the President of Business Management, Design, and Development. ©Disney Barbara has over 25 years of management, design, and strategic planning experience under her belt. She writes on her profile that her new position involves working “collaboratively with stakeholders across the business to design, develop, and execute projects for Disney.” That includes its theme parks, hotels, cruise ships, dining, and more!

Is there anything like the beautiful view of Cinderella Castle from Main Street, U.S.A.? Cinderella Castle We’ve been lucky enough to catch this view a few times over the past few days as we take in all the sights of Magic Kingdom. Now, we’re bringing you an update on everything NEW in construction and merchandise! Magic Kingdom Construction Updates Entrance Perhaps the BIGGEST update from Magic Kingdom is that Disney is testing a new facial recognition system for park entry. This testing option adds a lane where guests can try out the new system to help Disney test out the tech. Let’s Get Scanning! Facial recognition could provide a touchless alternative to finger scanners at park entry. We’re certainly interested to see if this becomes the norm when you’re headed into the theme parks! To see the new facial recognition in action, click here! Cinderella Castle MORE 50th Anniversary details have been cropping up on Cinderella Castle! We can’t wait to see what it looks like with the full “EARidescent” overlay! Cinderella Castle Decorations Fantasyland Over in Fantasyland, we noticed that the Cinderella Carriage photo op has been removed. Previously, the carriage sat by the Fantasyland walls for a few months so that guests could take photos with it. Peter Pan’s Flight Tomorrowland More BIG news comes from over in Tomorrowland! The PeopleMover was undergoing MORE testing, this time including the moving ramp that leads up to the attraction. Eek! PeopleMover This is the first time we’ve seen (and heard) the ramp running since the attraction closed so we’re hoping this means we’re a big step towards the reopening. Click here to see VIDEO of the PeopleMover testing! Of course, we took a gander at the progress on TRON Lightcycle Run too. That canopy is still looking like a pretty imposing sight in the Tomorrowland skyline! TRON Lightcycle Run Magic Kingdom Merchandise Updates Uptown Jewelers Uptown Jewelers had an ADORABLE new vintage matching line inspired by 101 Dalmations. There are the 101 Dalmations Dress Set for ladies and the 101 Dalmations Bowling Shirt for fellas! How pawsitively perfect! The dress set is available for $168 while the shirt will run you $59.99. To see more of the 101 Dalmations outfits, click here! And those are all the BIG updates from Magic Kingdom this time!

We’re headin’ somewhere a little unusual for a Disney World treat today! Disney’s Hollywood Studios We sure have been busy trying all the Easter dessert in Disney World! But of course, we’ve gotta make time for the other new eats around the parks. And we when we spotted a new brownie in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we just HAD to try it! It reminded us too much of the brownies at Casey’s Corner to pass up. Oh Casey’s, we MISS you. If you miss those brownies in a cup too, you’re in luck! We found a new one at the popcorn stand outside Voyage of the Little Mermaid in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. That’s a kinda weird spot for a brownie, wouldn’t ya think? But this isn’t just any brownie: it’s the Seaside Brownie, which means it matches the Little Mermaid theme just right. Seaside Brownie You’ll get your brownie with chocolate ganache, cookie sand, and a white chocolate topper. It’s ooey and gooey and super tasty! We’re gonna be honest: it’s SO much better than the Mickey brownie you can grab on Sunset Blvd. That one had some dry parts around Mickey’s ears, and we didn’t have that issue with the Seaside Brownie. If you’re gonna get a brownie in the park, grab this one! Now, we’ve still gotta rank the iconic Num Num Cookie over this new treat. The Seaside Brownie costs $5 while the Num Num Cookie is $6.19, and we’d splurge an extra dollar for the latter any day. But if you’re craving a brownie in particular in Hollywood Studios, go for this one! So gooey! We’ll keep an eye out for more new treats around the parks!

If you’re heading to Disney World in April, you’ll now have a bit more time to enjoy the Taste of EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, your favorite rides in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and more at all of the parks. Hello, you beautiful fountain! We’ve seen Disney extend park hours for quite a few days in early April. But, now they’ve done it again for more days in the month. Previously, Disney extended the park hours for various days in April, through April 10th. Now, hours at all 4 parks have also been extended from April 11th through April 17th! Let’s take a look. Magic Kingdom Over at Magic Kingdom, the park was set to be open from April 11th through the 17th from 9AM to 6PM. That has changed and the park will now be open those days from 8AM to 9PM. Magic Kingdom Park Hours ©Disney You can see that these are the same extended hours as the week before. The following 2 weeks (the week of April 18th and the week of April 25th) still show those 9AM to 6PM hours for the time being though. EPCOT Over at EPCOT, the park was set to be open from 11AM to 7PM from April 11th through the 17th. Now, those hours have been extended and the park will be open those days from 11AM to 11PM. EPCOT Park Hours ©Disney You can see that the park will also be open for those 11AM to 11PM hours the week before. But, the following week — the week of April 18th — the park is currently still scheduled to only be open from 11AM to 7PM. Disney’s Hollywood Studios At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the park will now be open from April 11th through the 17th from 9AM to 8PM. Previously, the park was set to be open on those days from 10AM to 7PM. Hollywood Studios Park Hours ©Disney Again, you can see that Hollywood Studios shows those extended 9AM to 8PM hours during the week of April 4th as well. But, the shortened 10AM to 7PM hours still appear for the week of April 18th and the week of the 25th. Disney’s Animal Kingdom Over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the park will now be open from April 11th through the 17th from 8AM to 8PM. The park was previously set to be open those days from 9AM to 5PM. Animal Kingdom Park Hours ©Disney Again, the park has those same 8AM to 8PM extended hours for the week before in April. But, the week of April 18th and the week of April 25th still show the shorter 9AM to 5PM hours for now. At all of the parks, Park Hopping is still set to begin at 2PM each day. Such a beautiful view!
