When Disney World reopened last summer, much had changed about the parks. Welcome to the Magic Kingdom The parks introduced a new mask requirement for guests over 2 years of age (a policy that continues to evolve), temperature checks, social distancing, and limited capacity. Also, park pass reservations were required for entering the theme parks. Now, a year later, many of these policies are still in place, but the situation continues to change as more vaccinations roll out and recommended health guidelines are revised. So what does this mean for the post-crisis future of Disney World? In an interview with Bloomberg, Disney CEO Bob Chapek answered some related questions. Main Street, U.S.A. During the interview, the Bloomberg reporter asked Chapek about how long new systems will remain in place even as the global health crisis is mitigated. She asked, “What are some of the new technologies that you’ve used over the last year that you think might stick around post-pandemic? Will temperature screenings continue, for example? Will you use the reservation system a lot more?” Temperature Check Chapek did not provide exact information on how long temperature screenings will continue. He did mention masks, temperature checks, hygiene, and social distancing; but was speaking to their implementation in the parks so far without comment on how long any of that may stick around. So far, information on how long these measures might be in place has been sparse. During the closure of all the Disney parks, Disney Chairman Bob Iger compared temperature checks to baggage screening that was implemented after 9/11. This statement seems to look at this as a long-term implementation, but it will likely depend on consumer outlooks and guidelines from health officials in a post-pandemic world. Health Signage As for masks and social distancing, Chapek recently mentioned that these health measures are expected to remain required in Disney World through the remainder of 2021. Still, this all depends on vaccine rollout and guidance from officials. Click here to read more about Chapek’s mask comments. During the Bloomberg interview, Chapek did make a specific comment about Disney’s theme park reservation system. He said, “We’re also going to be introducing a new reservation system that’s going to enable our guests to have a great time no matter when they choose to come to Disney.” Of course, a reservation system has been in place for Disney World and the international theme parks since they each opened. The “new reservation system” that Chapek mentions could be referring to the upcoming system for the reopening of Disneyland. Still, a specific mention means it’s possible that the theme park reservation system will stick around. For example, you can already make park pass reservations for 2022. Spaceship Earth As for tangible responses to the question about what might stick around after the pandemic, Chapek noted that teams are hard at work developing operational systems for after the pandemic, but did not mention specifics. He mentioned that when Disney Parks do “re-emerge,” they will do so in a way that will improve the guest experience even from before the closures. He acknowledged that the situation has taught Disney some new lessons about how to work under constraints, but still deliver the Disney experience guests expect at the parks. Cinderella Castle He said, “But we’ve gotten even better and better at it, and I think it’s going to create a reemergence scenario where magic is going to be greater for our guests when they do come back to our parks.” Chapek’s comments give us a little bit of a hint of what to expect for the future of Disney parks. And as always, we’ll continue to follow the situation at the parks and let you know what we find out!

It’s been over a year since the Disney parks were closed due to the global health crisis. Cinderella Castle Now, the reopened theme parks are still operating at limited capacity, but those limits may grow as more people are vaccinated. Health concerns constituted a major drop in demand for travel, so how is a return to normal demand levels looking? Recently, Disney CEO Bob Chapek sat down with Bloomberg to discuss demand and several other aspects of the business. When asked about current and expected demand levels, Chapek spoke with optimism. ©Bloomberg He noted, “We’re thrilled with the response that we’re seeing from guests in terms of future reservations and intent to come back to our parks.” As a reminder, the Disney World parks have been open since July and at times have hit full capacity. Chapek noted that the confidence in demand they have is a function of two things. The first is a “confidence that we’re seeing a light at the end of the tunnel for the pandemic,” and the second he noted is, “a tremendous trust in our brand.” Tree of Life He explained that guests have confidence in Disney’s ability to keep them safe and that “that brand trust leads them to want to come back to our parks.” Chapek’s statements echo comments he made to CNBC yesterday. In those comments, he noted, “We’ve seen the enthusiasm, the craving for people to return to our parks around the world. We’ve been operating at Walt Disney World for about nine months, and there certainly is no shortage of demand.” EPCOT It will be interesting to see if the expectations that Chapek is speaking to ring true. In the years following 9/11, Disney saw a significant drop in demand due to the subsequent financial effects and consumer reluctance to take air travel. The global health crisis has certainly had an effect on peoples’ finances and on the comfort level with planes. Disney’s Hollywood Studios We’ll keep an eye out for more comments from Chapek and on the trends of demand that we’re able to monitor.

There are a LOT of things going on at EPCOT. EPCOT As part of the EPCOT Transformation, new rides, restaurants, and experiences are coming to this park. On top of that, EPCOT has already gotten new flags, new entrance music, and new nighttime lights in its entrance area, AND Leave A Legacy has returned in a new, colorful way! Soon, Spaceship Earth will also have a new nighttime look and we’ve got a special peek behind-the-scenes at part of this new look right here! As part of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, Spaceship Earth will be transforming into a “Beacon of Magic.” New lights will shine across the reflective panels on this park icon, which will connect and look like a starry sky. Spaceship Earth ©Disney Not planning to visit Disney World during its 18 MONTH anniversary celebrations? No worries, this transformation of Spaceship Earth will actually be PERMANENT. Yesterday, we got a peek at one of the lights being fitted on Spaceship Earth thanks to Imagineer Zach Riddley. We can totally get why this would be a permanent look. It will likely take a LOT of effort to install these little lights ALL throughout Spaceship Earth. ©Zach Riddley via Instagram (@thezachriddley) According to Riddley, the team was testing the light recently before they move forward with installing the points of light starting at the top of Spaceship Earth and working their way down. ©Zach Riddley via Instagram (@thezachriddley) Wonder how these lights work? Well, today thanks to Jason from Imagineering and the Disney Parks TikTok, we got a behind-the-scenes look! According to Jason, the lights will shine out in DIFFERENT colors on the front. But, they will also connect across the sides shining across all of the different faces of Spaceship Earth to create that connected look, and telling a story of communication and connection. Check out the full video below! WOW! What do you think of this look? Are you a fan of these new lights or do you prefer Spaceship Earth as it is right now? Tell us in the comments! Spaceship Earth isn’t the only icon getting a makeover for the 50th Anniversary though. Cinderella Castle, the Tree of Life, and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror will all be getting special looks. The castle is looking so pretty! Work has already begun to add some of those new details on Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom. Click here to see some concept art of what the different park icons will look like for the 50th Anniversary!

The new lights on Spaceship Earth will also debut on October 1st. ©Disney So, if you want to be in Disney World right when it all begins, be sure to get your Park Passes soon.

Flexibility has been the motto of the Walt Disney Company over the past year. Magic Kingdom And, not just in the Disney Theme Parks. Last year, Disney not only had to face the closure of Disney World and other parks around the world, but they also had to plan for the release of new movies as theaters closed or reopened at a limited capacity. They’ve chosen to release some movies, like Soul, directly to the Disney+ streaming platform, while others have been released both in theaters in and on Disney+ for an extra fee, like Raya and the Last Dragon. So, what is the situation for movie releases moving forward? Well, we got a glimpse into the state of current and future movie releases during an interview hosted by Bloomberg with Bob Chapek, CEO of the Walt Disney Company. ©Bloomberg When discussing the current subscription numbers for Disney+ (which recently hit 100 million subscribers), Chapek commented on the recent release of Raya and the Last Dragon to Disney+ Premiere Access. He shared that they chose to release the movie both in theaters and on the streaming platform for a fee due to the pandemic and because there are “fundamental consumer changes” occurring. Chapek said, “People want to see movies the way they want to see them, when they want to see them, and how they want to see them.” Raya and the Last Dragon First Look ©Walt Disney Animation Studios So, could this mean that more movies will release to Disney+ at an extra fee initially? Chapek says that the decision on whether this strategy will be used moving forward will be “up to the consumer.” Thus far, they have been “thrilled” with the response to the Premiere Access option. RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON – Boun is a street-savvy 10-year-old entrepreneur. © 2020 Disney. All Rights Reserved. When asked if this strategy could be implemented for the upcoming release of Black Widow, Chapek said that they are “waiting to see how theatergoers respond to theater reopenings” to make the decision and will “remain flexible.” ©Disney | Marvel Studios Currently, the film is set to release on May 7th in theaters after being pushed back from a late 2020 premiere date. Chapek stressed that they’ve seen a lot of success in theater debuts in the past and want to continue to build the franchise but said “we don’t think it’s the only way to do it.” Disney will continue to watch consumer trends and make the call on the release of Black Widow “at the last minute.” ©Marvel While Disney hasn’t released numbers on those who signed up for Premiere Access of Raya and the Last Dragon or made a decision on whether Black Widow will utilize a similar strategy, what we do know is that Disney is watching us and what we want closely.

Hello, DFB readers! We’ve been spending some time at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Tree of Life And while we enjoyed taking a safari to see all the awesome animals, we also popped into the shops and restaurants to see if anything new had turned up since our last visit. So let’s get on with the updates! Animal Kingdom Food Updates Nomad Lounge Nomad Lounge had an…um…interesting offering for St. Patrick’s Day. Now we ate a LOT of green stuff on St. Paddy’s Day, but we weren’t quite prepared for the St. Patrick’s Day Dessert Trio. This trio included an Amarula Rainbow Cake, Whiskey Caramel Cake Pop, and Coffee Panna Cotta. We spent several minutes trying to figure out what the symbol on the Amarula Rainbow Cake was… . Is it a spider web?! Maybe a pirate ship wheel?! We had no idea so we asked! We kinda’ expected better… For the record, it was a compass, meant to symbolize the Nomad Lounge symbol. Despite its mysterious appearance, though, it was still our favorite of the three desserts. The trio is available now through March 20th for $13. Read Our Full Review of the St. Patrick’s Day Dessert Trio Here Creature Comforts Over at Creature Comforts, the Colossal Mickey Cinnamon Roll got a green makeover!

Well, you could depart from Italy or Spain on cruises to the Mediterranean, Greek Isles and coastal ports of Greece, France, Italy, or Spain. Or, you could visit places like Iceland, Norway, and the British Isles on a 7- or 11-night cruise departing from England, Spain and Denmark. These cruises sound like an absolute dream. Disney Cruise Line Wonder Ship Or, maybe a cruise to Alaska is what you’re searching for? Well, then hop aboard for a 7-night cruise from Canada to get your fill of glaciers, salmon, and more. This can really be an incredible travel experience full of beautiful scenery, delicious salmon (of course), and so many unique activities. The Disney Wonder Looking for sun and sand? You can head to the Caribbean or the Bahamas on various cruises from Port Canaveral or Miami. One of the best advantages of these cruises is that they include a stop (sometimes even 2 stops!!) to Disney’s AMAZING and much beloved private island, Disney Castaway Cay. There, you’ll be able to soak in the sun, eat some delicious food, and participate in all kinds of cool activities like snorkeling, renting an Aqua Trike, and even going on a Banana Boat Thrill Ride!

Do you know the significance of October 1st in Disney World history? Cinderella Castle Walt Disney World opened on October 1st, 1971, which means that this year, the resort will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary. With new offerings around Magic Kingdom and the fact that it’s a milestone occasion, we’re expecting massive crowds for the 50th. However, an anniversary isn’t the only thing big in Disney World that day, so today we’re sharing the full list of what’s happening on October 1st, 2021! Magic Kingdom First up, let’s check out what’s going on in Disney’s Magic Kingdom, the OG park celebrating its 50th birthday! The park icon, Cinderella Castle, will be getting a stunning makeover in honor of the occasion. ©Disney Progress on this iridescent transformation has already begun, with regal drapes and accents getting added to the walls of the castle. We also expect to see a 50th Anniversary crest on the front and some new lighting that will “sparkle like pixie dust.” Decorations are already going up! And if you’re hoping to congratulate Mickey and Minnie Mouse on this historic milestone, then you’ll catch them in their new (and very dapper) anniversary outfits! It hasn’t been shared whether or not Mickey and Minnie will be donning this new apparel in other parks, but the promotional photos show them in Magic Kingdom. ©Disney Besides the castle makeover and the new outfits, we expect to get more announcements on celebrations coming to Magic Kingdom soon. We’ll make sure to keep you updated with all the details as soon as they’re released! EPCOT Over at EPCOT, it’s also a big day — the park’s 39th Anniversary! On the 1st, Spaceship Earth will be debuting a new look as well, except this one will be sticking around permanently. New lights will shine across reflective panels, creating the illusion of stars in a night sky. It’ll all match perfectly with the new entrance area of the park. ©Disney We already got a sneak peek at the light installation taking place in the park. ©Zach Riddley via Instagram (@thezachriddley) And likely in an effort to draw crowds away from Magic Kingdom, the grand opening for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will be on October 1st as well! This new ride has been highly anticipated and was originally slated to open last year before the pandemic threw off the timeline. ©Disney The ride will take guests on a trip through Gusteau’s kitchen, following the adventures of Remy from the hit Pixar film, Ratatouille. The addition of this attraction is part of the expansion of the France Pavilion in the World Showcase. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Sign And speaking of expanding the France Pavilion, we’re also getting a new restaurant! La Creperie de Paris will open on October 1st as well, serving up both quick service and table service meals. La Creperie de Paris It’s definitely going to be difficult to choose between visiting EPCOT and Magic Kingdom, and if you haven’t already made the decision, you may be out of luck. Disney Park Pass reservations for both parks are filling up rapidly on October 1st! Hollywood Studios & Animal Kingdom At Disney World’s other two parks, there will also be some icon makeovers! The Tree of Life at Animal Kingdom will be glowing all over, as new lighting gives the illusion of enchanted fireflies. ©Disney The Tower of Terror at Hollywood Studios will have colorful projections to match the EARidescence (Disney’s word, not ours) of the 50th Anniversary color scheme. This reminds us a lot of the Christmas projections that we see here each year! ©Disney So, no matter where you’re headed in Disney World on October 1st, there’s going to be something new to experience! We’re anxiously awaiting more announcements and details ahead of the big day, and we’ll make sure to keep you up-to-date with the best information!

One of the things we love most about EPCOT’s World Showcase is that it gives us a chance to travel the world and maybe see — and eat — things we wouldn’t normally find anywhere else! Welcome to Tutto Italia Ristorante! Thanks to World Showcase, we’ve had the chance to dive into the cuisines of France, Morocco, the U.K., and more! But our most recent jaunt across the “World” took us to Italy! The Italy Pavilion has multiple options dining options including one of our favorites — Via Napoli. But this go-round, we stopped into Tutto Italia Ristorante for a hearty Italian meal. We arrived in Italy to have lunch at Tutto Italia Ristorante, which is about as authentically Italian as you can get at Disney World! The menu here was created by award-winning chef Joachim Splichal, and there are a TON of options to choose from, so much so that we think even pickier eaters might find something here to satisfy them. This spot has a fascinating history to it. The location was an opening day restaurant back in 1982 looking much like it still does today. The big difference? It was named L’ Originale Alfredo di Roma Ristorante or simply Alfredo’s. You might know the name a little better for the dish it famously gave a name to: Fettucine Alfredo. The spot was owned and operated by the creator of the famous pasta dish from Rome! As strange as it may sound compared to the location today, this was a destination eatery for many guests. Just think — you could visit EPCOT and have a chance to try the REAL original dish from Italy without hopping a plane to Rome. The location closed in 2007 to reopen as Tutto Italia (meaning All of Italy). The Fettucine was gone (at least the famous authentic recipe) and the ownership shifted to the Patina Group. The spot still served up Italian favorites only this time, the menu spanned across all of Italy. Atmosphere When you first enter, you’ll spy a check-in podium currently decked out in plexiglass. We checked in VIA Mobile Dine Check-In on our phone and were texted when it was time to be seated. Fun fact, back in the original days of Alfredo’s there used to be a big window into the kitchen in this lobby where guests could watch fresh-made pasta being cut! Check In Podium The word here when it comes to atmosphere is “classic.” Inside, crystal chandeliers bring a warm glow to the dark moldings on the ceiling. The walls are covered with murals of Roman scenes in trompe l’œil style. The murals and chandeliers are original from back when it was Alfredo’s. In fact, most of the styling of the restaurant remains similar to how it was back on opening day! Yeah, this place is CLASSY. Like we feel a little out of place here in our t-shirts and shorts. Crystal chandeliers = fancy Inside, seating includes padded booths with plexiglass between each booth. Booth seating There are also standard tables and chairs, separated to allow for social distancing. However, if you plan on sitting inside, note that it’s dark — like really dark — in here. This makes it perfect for a date night, but not so much if you like to see what it is you’re eating. Seating You can get a little more light in an attached sunroom that has large windows that bring in a lot of light. This area feels a little more casual, too. And if you like to eat outside, there’s an outside patio area that lets you take in all of Italy while you dine. Outdoor seating We prefer this spot because it makes you feel like you’re sitting in a cafe in the REAL Italy having a meal. You can even hear the music playing throughout the Italian pavilion. When given a choice, we’re always going to choose to sit out here! The dark indoors is nice if that’s the mood you’re after. But we love the feeling that we’re eating right in the middle of Italy! It also just feels a lot less stuffy out here. Now, THAT’S atmosphere! Right next door is Tutto Gusto, a lounge that has a full wine bar and a limited menu. This spot has been open since the parks reopened but not allowing guests to sit indoors to enjoy their wine and small bites. Rather, guests can get items to-g0 for the time being. Tutto Gusto is right next door Settled into our table, we’re ready to EAT! Eats Now we like a casual atmosphere, but we want some serious Italian food, too. We want some well-thought-out pastas, cheeses, meats, and more! And that’s where Tutto Italia delivers. The menu can be accessed by scanning a QR code. Scan to get menu But first — drinks! We were given a glass of water… Water…boring …but we wanted something with a little more kick. We decided to try two classic Italian cocktails: Italian Sangria and a Bellini. Bring on the cocktails! The Italian Sangria for $15, though, did not please — it was SO sweet. It’s a Cabernet Terre Di Bacco with Rum and Fruit Juice, but it was so sweet that we didn’t get any of the rum or fruit flavors. It WAS cold and refreshing, which is sometimes all you want on a hot day, but this is definitely not going to win any awards as our favorite glass of Sangria at Disney World. SWEEEEETTTT — literally Now the Bellini hit all the right notes (it’s pretty hard to screw up pouring two things in a glass though!). The Prosecco made it light and refreshing, and the Peach Puree tasted fresh. This drink more than made up for the unimpressive Sangria. And yes, we would TOTALLY order this again for $15. Peachy! Yes, yes, we know, y’all want to know about the food, so let’s dig in! We were brought some warm Bread, which came in large round pieces. There were hints of Rosemary with each bite. SO good. And we also liked the Olive Oil for dipping. BREAD!!! Y’all know us — it’s hard not to fill up on bread, but we started perusing the Antipasti part of the menu. Starters ©Disney Traditional Italian dining is often done in courses with pasta being a big focus! Pasta gets its own section of the menu where you’ll find a selection of classics well suited to serve as an entree. We’d wager this is the portion of the menu most guests gravitate towards (because: CARBS!). Secondi, meaning “second” is really just your entrees. In Italy, a heavier meat or fish course often follows a pasta course (gotta love Italian big eaters!). But here, feel free to order as you please. Secondi and Pasta Menu ©Disney And we saw the magic word: “board!” And you know what that means – charcuterie! We LOVE us a good charcuterie board, so we had no problem choosing the Tagliere for $39. And look at this beautiful thing — it’s got Prosciutto di Parma, Salametto, Asiago Cheese, Gorgonzola Cheese, Fontina Cheese (ALL the cheese!), Artichoke Hearts, Grissini Breadsticks, and Cerignola Olives. Isn’t it beautiful? $39 is on the slightly higher side of boards we often order, but it didn’t disappoint. We have NEVER said no to a meat and cheese board. Like ever! Look at all this yumminess. Meat and cheese? Yes, please! The cheeses were all delicious and we spent a lot of time making little sandwiches with the cheese cubes by wrapping them in the prosciutto — it’s our food and we can play with it if we want! Meat and cheese and breasticks, oh, my The olives were HUGE and paired well with the meats and cheeses. Olives! But — there’s always a but — isn’t there? We’re not big fans of Artichoke Hearts, and these didn’t change our minds. Chomping into big marinated hearts just wasn’t our thing, especially compared to all the meats and cheeses we had to choose from! Artichoke hearts…meh Another complaint we had was that the Grissini breadsticks were long, thin, and flavorless. If you’ve been to Italy, these are actually pretty standard on most tables. They’re fine for wrapping in meal and nibbling, but the heart wanted what the heart wanted — toasted slices of bread! We want to put our cheese and meat onto a nice hunk of bread, but that’s not an option with this particular board. The rolls served initially make a nice alternative if you want something with a little more chew to bite into like we did! Breadsticks? Also meh. We also ordered the Calamari Fritti for $23. And you know what? We have very few complaints about this appetizer. OBV you gotta like squid to enjoy this (or at least tolerate it — it really doesn’t have a squid-y, fishy flavor!). Our only real complaint — these are lightly fried, and we think maybe we would have preferred them slightly crispier or with a heavier breading. Again, a pricier option. $23 bucks isn’t exactly a cheap appetizer (even by Disney standards!) but it is a good-sized portion for sharing around the table. Calamari Another thing that impressed us was that you actually get enough Marinara Piccante Sauce for every piece — we hate those tiny cups of dipping sauce where you know there just isn’t nearly enough to dip everything. We are big-time dippers! That’s not the case here, though. Sauce for DAYZZZ. SAUUUCCCEE From the Secondi Menu, we selected the Petti di Pollo. Now, this is a pretty simple dish with Grilled Chicken Breast, Fettucini, and Parmesan Cream. And yes…PASTA. We would eat all the pasta things if we could. This is your average Fettucine Alfredo (but no — NOT the version that made the original restaurant famous!). It’s a basic cream-based cheese sauce. No more handmade noodles from the good ol’ days either. So much pasta…oh, yeah. But it wasn’t the pasta that made this dish shine — it was the chicken!!! The grilled chicken cut like buttah and each bite was juicy with loads of flavor. Perfect chicken We felt the Fettucine was a little dry, though, and got very little flavor from the parmesan cream. We were expecting something more like a thick and saucy Alfredo with tangy hits of cheese, but this was not that. Hey, we could still fill up on that fabulous chicken! (And also, come on, you know we scarfed that cheesy pasta regardless!) Not the best pasta We thought the Lasagne alla Bolognese for $29 fared a little better. It was hearty — and meaty — and included Beef, Veal, AND Pork Ragu. This is prepared closer to a REAL traditional lasagna too — no layers of ricotta cheese here. You’ll find layers of pasta, that rich ragu, and bechamel (basically white gravy, for us Southerners). It’s rich and filling even without thick slabs of the creamy ricotta cheese you find in many Americanized preparations. Just be warned — if you’re expecting the likes of a Stouffer’s frozen lasagna, this style lacks the heft the cheeses in other preparations offer. We’ve got a weakness for lasagna Now, is this the best lasagna we’ve ever had? Probably not. But it was filling and had a nice flavor to the ragu. There’s nothing super noteworthy here, and we wouldn’t have minded a little extra kick to the sauce. The Parmesan that was added to the dish after it came out also upped the flavor a bit. And yes, we put cheese on everything, including other cheesy things. Cheesy It’s a hearty portion and, again, quite filling. With all that pasta in our bellies, we moved on to dessert! We chose the Mocha Tiramisu for $13, and this was literally the highlight of the meal. We don’t typically go out of our way to order tiramisu but this was GOOD. The cake (ladyfinger cookies soaked in espresso) just MELTED in our mouth. Y’all. We can’t even. Since tiramisu is typically coffee and chocolate flavors, we’re not really sure what’s different or mind-blowing by calling it “Mocha” tiramisu. But the flavors were pretty great on this. If you’re not familiar with mascarpone cheese, the main ingredient in the filling, it’s similar to a mild cream cheese. Whipped up with whipped cream and layered with the coffee-soaked cookies, it’s rich without being aggressively sweet. The dusting of cocoa on top cuts the sweetness further. How to end a meal And that, friends, wraps up our dining experience at Tutta Italia — there were some misses, but there were also a lot of hits. Nosh or Not Spend a bella notte at Tutta Italia if… You want to chow down on fairly authentic Italian food with an authentic atmosphere You’re on a date — we think this is one of the more romantic spots in EPCOT! You want a classier meal and a fine dining experience. Say arrivederci to Tutta Italia if… You want to eat somewhere more casual Your craving pizza. Make a reservation at Via Napoli across the Pavilion for more casual fare including phenomenal pizza! You want something fast and inexpensive — this is where you go to linger over a meal, and it can get pricey. Overall Tutto Italia is a step up from regular theme park food, and way better than, say, your local Olive Garden. But the food is good — not great — and you’ll have to ask yourself if you want to pay more for good food just to dine in fake Italy (granted, the theming in “fake Italy” is GREAT). And if you want something elegant — or even something for a great date night — there are better options at EPCOT (hello, Le Cellier?) This isn’t the only Italian restaurant at Disney World either, and with so many other options, it’s hard to recommend this one as the absolute best. But if you’re at EPCOT and just want a nice sit-down meal with your significant other or family, we won’t tell you NOT to go here either. The prices are on-par with most other sit-down meals in EPCOT. We suspect this spot isn’t topping many guests’ must-do list for a simple reason — with so many decent options for this style of dining back wherever you live, it can get overlooked in favor of more unique eats. But if you want to feel like you’ve been transported to a little slice of Italy while in a theme park in the middle of Florida, it does a pretty good job.

Plus, first-ever summer departures from Miami will take guests to Disney’s enchanting private island in the Bahamas, Castaway Cay. “While we prepare for a return to sea just as soon as the time is right, we continue to look to the future and develop more cruising options for families,” said Thomas Mazloum, president of Disney Cruise Line. “Offering this diverse new line-up of itineraries for the summer of 2022 shows our commitment to taking more guests to more destinations around the world as we plan for additional ships in the years ahead.” Bookings open to the public March 25, 2021. More details can be found on the Summer 2022 Itinerariespage of disneycruise.com. Explorations in the Greek Isles, Mediterranean, Northern Europe and Beyond In summer 2022, a new collection of destinations will be part of the Disney Magic’s grand tour of Europe, which begins with sailings through the Greek Isles and Mediterranean before heading to northern Europe for cruises to the Baltic, the British Isles, Iceland and the Norwegian fjords. Five new ports of call in Europe include Chania, Greece;Porto, Portugal; Riga, Latvia; Maloy, Norway; and Nynashamn, Sweden, nearStockholm. From Rome, eight-, nine- and 12-night cruises to Greece will whisk families to the beautiful landscapes and archeological wonders of destinations like Piraeus, the gateway to Athens, and to the spectacular Greek islands of Santorini and Mykonos. One nine-night sailing will mark Disney Cruise Line’s first call to Chania, Greece, on the island of Crete, known for its charming harbor and Venetian and Florentine influences. Mediterranean voyages from Barcelona, Spain, will visit a mix of must-see locales including Rome and Naples, plus French Riviera coastal towns like Villefranche and Cannes.During a seven-night cruise from Barcelona to Dover, England, Disney Cruise Line will make its first-ever visit to Porto, Portugal, a coastal city with old-world charm nestled in one of the world’s leading wine regions and made famous for giving Port Wine its name. Additional new ports of call in northern Europe include Riga, the capital of Latvia and the largest metropolis in the Baltics; Nynashamn, Sweden, a beautiful seaside town just outside Stockholm; and Maloy, Norway, a charming coastal village bordered by silver-sand beaches and historic lighthouses.

We’ve tried lots of St. Patrick’s Day treats in Disney World this week. But, one of them was not like the others. Nomad Lounge Today, in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we’re trying not one, not two, but THREE desserts in celebration of the holiday. And, we learned WAY more about Irish lore than we ever expected. Yes, we’re naturally going to share our review of the dessert trio. But, we’re also about to teach you a lesson in Irish history and pirates. Get ready. You can often find special, seasonal dessert trios at Nomad Lounge. In the past, we’ve tried a fall-inspired trio and a Christmas-inspired trio. Now, it’s time for St. Paddy’s Day to have its moment. These were really adorable desserts, but one of them raised a lot of questions. St. Patrick’s Day Dessert Trio The dessert trio includes an Amarula Rainbow Cake, Whiskey Caramel Cake Pop, and Coffee Panna Cotta. Amarula is a cream liqueur from South Africa and we’ve tried it in other Disney World desserts before, like the delicious Zebra Domes found at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. The tiny cake itself was citrus with an amarula buttercream. Amarula Cake Now, this is where the questions begin. See that little chocolate piece tucked into the buttercream atop the cake? We had ourselves a field day trying to guess what it was and went down quite an unexpected route. Our first guess was a pirate ship wheel. You can imagine that, right? Could be a pirate ship wheel…? Our next guess was a spider web. This is also believable but adds even more confusion because obviously, it’s St. Patrick’s Day, not Halloween. Now, here’s where we get into our history lesson. Going along with the idea that this little chocolate creation is in fact a pirate ship wheel, someone on our team mentioned a certain episode of VeggieTales where St. Patrick himself was actually kidnapped by pirates. This cake blew our minds Now, this would certainly be a unique route for a Disney Pastry Chef to take with a dessert. In our research, we did find claims that Saint Patrick was kidnapped by Irish pirates as a teenager. So, we concluded that this Cast Member decided to forego the traditional shamrock sprinkles and went for a MUCH more unique option. What are you? After having settled on this idea that we were eating a chocolate pirate ship wheel, we learned the TRUTH. Are you ready for the big reveal? The chef shared that it’s actually a COMPASS, which is the logo of Nomad Lounge. Consider us flabbergasted. The compass in question So, we’re shocked and maybe a little disappointed? We did learn a lot in the process, like the fact that Irish pirates are a thing that existed. Anyways, back to our regularly scheduled programming! The Whiskey Caramel Cake Pop is bright green and topped with Mickey ears! But, dissimilar to typical cake pops, it didn’t come on a stick. A stick-less cake pop This cake wasn’t overly sweet, and we think it’s because of the whiskey flavors. Plus, the consistency of the cake itself was more like a batter — the way a cake pop should be! Nice and moist! The Coffee Panna Cotta was pretty underwhelming flavor-wise. It was fairly simple and probably not something we’d want to try again. Kids, especially, would probably not be fans of it. Coffee Panna Cotta Overall, we’d have to say our favorite of the three was the Amarula Rainbow Cake. We loved its flavors AND the lessons it taught us. This dessert trio is available at Nomad Lounge for $13 from now through March 20th! Check back with us for more Disney food updates!

Many treats in Disney World have already received a special makeover for St. Patrick’s Day. St. Patrick’s Day decor Now, we’re checking out an iconic, fan-favorite snack that’s received a festive overlay in celebration of the holiday! Oh, and did we mention it’s Mickey-shaped? In Disney’s Animal Kingdom, you can grab a Mickey Colossal Cinnamon Roll at Creature Comforts! For St. Patrick’s Day, it’s covered in a green icing drizzle. Colossal Cinnamon Roll meets St. Patrick’s Day! As always, this is a massive cinnamon roll in the shape of a Mickey head. To make it festive, they drizzled green icing across the top — but otherwise it’s the same cinnamon roll that we know and love. This is a great snack to share and it’s really delicious too! The Colossal Cinnamon Roll is ready to party! You can grab one of these Cinnamon Rolls for $7.49. The regular version is around all the time, but the St. Patrick’s Day version is available only for a limited time! You can also find it at Tamu Tamu!

Alright folks, you may want to sit down for this one. We’ve seen some bizarre Disney World souvenirs over the years, but nothing quite compares to what you can find at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. Disney’s Wilderness Lodge While we were checking out Wilderness Lodge Mercantile today to scope out the latest must-haves, we came across our favorite collection of chapsticks. We’re usually the ones recommending that you make sure you bring your chapstick with you to Disney World, especially these days when face masks can wear out your skin. But never in our wildest dreams did we imagine we would come across THESE flavors of chapstick. We’ve spotted these oddities at Wilderness Lodge in the past, but we can’t help but giggle every time we visit. Ferret…Farts? Yes, that tube of chapstick reads “Ferret Farts.” But no, oh no, the fun doesn’t stop there. The collection also includes Moose Spit… So, what do we all think Moose Spit tastes like? …Beaver Butt… If you forgot to pack your chapstick, don’t worry, you can always pick up this BEAVER BUTT flavored one! …and Bear Breath. What is Disney trying to say about our breath? But don’t worry…in case you were fooled, it wasn’t actually made with Bear Breath. Phew! If you take a look at the ingredients list, you’ll find some less scary things like Coconut Oil, Mint, and Beeswax. “There is no breath of the bear in this balm” Disney is keen on making sure a lot of vacation essentials are well stocked in their resort hotel gift shops, so next time you forget to pack your chapstick, swing by Wilderness Lodge Mercantile and pick up some Beaver Butt!

We’ve tried LOTS of cupcakes in Disney World recently. Welcome to Roaring Fork Like the many other cupcakes we’ve had over the last couple of weeks, this one is also in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day! However, unlike the other cupcakes that feature flavors like Bailey’s Irish Cream or mint, this one is all about the GREEN! At Roaring Fork, located in Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, you can find the St. Patrick Cupcake. This is a green velvet cupcake (yes, green!!), with cream cheese icing. Chip ‘n’ Dale! Oh, and it’s topped with Chip ‘n’ Dale wearing some adorably festive St. Patrick’s Day outfits, along with some chocolate shamrocks. Overall, we really couldn’t tell the difference from this cupcake than from other red velvet cupcakes we’ve previously had. We think maybe it would have been better if the frosting had a vanilla or chocolate flavor, just to change things up a bit. Shamrocks! However, by its very design, we think this one would be a BIG hit with the kids, especially with the extra chocolate pieces on it. Plus there’s the Chip ‘n’ Dale factor to consider, too — who doesn’t love those mischievous chipmunks! Also, we did like the cream cheese frosting in the center! It’s GREEEEEN This is available today only at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge! We grabbed it for $5.99. Check back with us for more reviews of Disney World snacks!

Last year, Disney fans in southern California were treated to a rare chance to check out Disney memorabilia straight from the Walt Disney Archives. Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, CA Thanks to Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, any Disney history buff could visit to see the exclusive exhibit, Inside the Walt Disney Archives: 50 Years of Preserving the Magic. But, due to California health regulations, the museum has had to close and reopen on a few occasions. Because of this, the exhibit was originally extended to April 25th and now it’s getting another bump as the museum reopens to the public. The Bowers Museum announced that they will reopen today, March 17th with increased health and safety measures. The museum will function at a reduced capacity and guests will be given a specific time for entry to reduce crowding. They will also require temperature checks, face masks to be worn, and social distancing inside. And, if a little over a month isn’t enough time for you to make it to the museum for the Walt Disney exhibit, you’ll have a little extra time! ©Disney The Inside the Walt Disney Archives: 50 Years of Preserving the Magic exhibit will now be open through June 20th, 2021. This gives you the entire spring season to geek out over Disney history! Walt Disney Archives Entrance The collection features 465 items from the beginnings of The Walt Disney Company and includes 50 pieces of original artwork. You’ll also find 15 original screen-worn costumes, 3 cars, and some other props from the original Disney days. Movie Memoribilia — Heya, Roger!
