We spend a LOT of time in Disney World! Tree of Life in Disney World’s Animal Kingdom And that means we’re here to tell you every little change that we spot in the parks. Over the past few days, we’ve been popping into Disney’s Animal Kingdom and now we’ve got an update on everything NEW in food, construction, and merchandise. Animal Kingdom Food Updates Pongu Pongu First up, we’ve got some food updates to check out. We noticed an interesting change when we headed over to Pongu Pongu to snag a Pineapple Lumpia. Pongu Pongu Line The queue for the quick-service spot was being routed into a backstage area! We’ve seen this happen with attractions like Na’vi River Journey, but it was a bit of a surprise to see it for a dining location. Click here to see more of the backstage line! Isle of Java Over at Isle of Java, we got to try a St. Patrick’s Day beverage and this one is a total win for coffee lovers. Did someone say boozy cup o’ joe? Yep, it’s an Irish Coffee! Irish Coffee The Irish Coffee is available for $12 and is a Joffrey’s Coffee with Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur, Whipped Cream, and Shamrock Sprinkles. To learn more about the Irish Coffee, click here! Restaurantosaurus Speaking of St. Patrick’s Day specialties, we were SO happy to find a whole new kind of LOADED TOTCHOS over at Restaurantosaurus. Take a look at the St. Patrick’s Day Reuben Totchos for $7.29! Reuben Totchos This eat is Crispy Potato Barrels Loaded with Nacho Cheese, Sauteed Corn Beef, Sauerkraut, Thousand Island Dressing, and Crunch Rye Croutons. Yum! Want to see our FULL REVIEW of the Reuben Totchos? Click here! Royal Anandapur Tea Company Last up on the food front, the Joffrey’s location at Royal Anandapur Tea Company had a new Toasted Coconut Donut for $4.99. Toasted Coconut Donut Unfortunately, the Donut topped with Vanilla Icing and Coconut Shavings really just had more standard vanilla flavor than anything else. Click here to see more of the Joffrey’s updates! Animal Kingdom Construction Updates Raya and the Last Dragon Sand Sculpture We thought that the Raya and the Last Dragon Sand Sculpture was complete in Discovery Island, but we noticed some work had begun again now that the film has been released. ‘Raya and the Last Dragon’ Sand Sculpture It appears that some more characters from the film are being added! ‘Raya and the Last Dragon’ Sand Sculpture Over the past few days, we were able to snag a few progress pictures and we spot Little Noi, Tong, and Boun coming together! ‘Raya and the Last Dragon’ Sand Sculpture Kilimanjaro Safaris We noticed a small change at Kilimanjaro Safaris. The FastPass+ sign was gone! We’re not sure what this means, but it may just be routine maintenance. Missing FastPass Sign Pandora Over in Pandora, we noticed that one of the waterfalls was streaming off of the floating mountains again after a few days of not running. Pandora Waterfall Na’vi River Journey Nearby, we took a spin on Na’vi River Journey and noted that plexiglass had been added to one of the boats. Plexiglass barriers have arrived! This attraction has had one of the most consistently long lines in all of Disney World over the past weeks so plexiglass could help to alleviate some of the wait times. Want to learn more about this change? Click here! Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates Serka Zong Bazaar And lastly, let’s take a look at merchandise! The Expedition Everest gift shop, Serka Zong Bazaar, was host to a BUNCH of new Expedition Everest 15th Anniversary merchandise. Expedition Everest sweatshirt We’re talking t-shirts, sweatshirts, throw blankets, and more! Plus, much of it features our favorite Himalayan monster — the yeti! To see more Expedition Everest merch, click here! The visit after the one where we spotted the first batch of Everest merchandise, we found the Expedition Everest Yeti Spirit Jersey for $69.99. Back of Yeti spirit jersey This snuggly top is so cute! If you haven’t spotted it yeti (Sorry!), you might want to hurry! Special Spirit Jerseys like this one can go quickly. Click here for more pics of the Expedition Everest Spirit Jersey! Riverside Depot Riverside Depot had a new item too! You can snag the Country Bear Jamboree MagicBand for $29.99.

Buckle up: it’s spring break week in Disney World! Animal Kingdom We’ve been warning you that spring break would be crowded in the parks, and after a surprisingly quiet weekend, the people have arrived! Disney’s extended park hours in anticipation, and Park Passes have been booked to capacity. So...what do 4 parks at capacity look like during spring break? We braved the crowds and took a look for ya! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Let’s kick off the day in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! There was a steady stream of guests heading into the park around 10AM, but nothing we haven’t seen before. Crowds at the entrance weren’t too bad! However, the wait times were lookin’ LONG. Na’vi River Journey was at 75 minutes… Na’vi River Journey line …and Flight of Passage was at 95 minutes! That’s significantly longer than the wait times we’ve been seeing here recently. Look at that line! And guys, get ready for this: the line for Kilimanjaro Safaris was wayyy back to Creature Comforts! Yup, that’s the Starbucks on Discovery Island. Just in case you’re in disbelief, we’ve got photo evidence for ya. Kilimanjaro Safaris, meet Creature Comforts. Over in DinoLand USA, the wait for Dinosaur was 60 minutes… Dinosaur line …while TriceraTop Spin was at 20 minutes. We’ve seen this ride at 20 minutes pretty frequently in the last week, so nothing totally unexpected there! TriceraTop Spin is popular today! And in Asia, Expedition Everest was at 25 minutes…but the line stretched ALL the way back to the theatre for Finding Nemo: The Musical! Keep in mind that all of these lines look way longer than they are due to social distancing. Of course, that doesn’t mean the crowds aren’t ROUGH out there today. You’ll have to wait just a bit to hop aboard Expedition Everest today! While Animal Kingdom didn’t feel too crowded walking around, the wait times are proof that spring break has arrived. Let’s hop over to some other parks and see what’s goin’ on there! Check Out These Passholder Perks in Animal Kingdom! Disney’s Hollywood Studios Welcome to Disney’s Hollywood Studios! We pulled up around 9:30AM to find the parking booths practically deserted. Um, where’s all the PEOPLE?! Sunset Blvd. was pretty quiet in the morning, too! We grabbed some blueberry waffles and had a relaxing morning before — you guessed it! — those crowds hit. Sunset Blvd. is lookin’ pretty peaceful! By noon, the line for Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster stretched back into the Fantasmic! entrance. This isn’t unusual — in fact, this is how the line’s typical spaced out for social distancing! — but it does indicate a pretty hefty wait time. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster’s line was nice and long! Just a little ways away, Tower of Terror stood at a 50 minute wait. Again, not TOO bad, but definitely an indication of some crowds. Tower of Terror And under the hot, beating sun (ya know the feeling), it was tricky to find a clear path through Toy Story Land. Toy Story Land crowds Let’s head off to Magic Kingdom and see what we’ve got! Check Out How Our Readers Ranked ALL the Rides in Hollywood Studios! Magic Kingdom We made it to Disney World’s flagship park! When we arrived, we headed straight into Fantasyland to see what the wait times were like at some classic rides. Around 3:45PM, “it’s a small world” was at 40 minutes… “it’s a small world” …and Peter Pan’s Flight was at 45 minutes! Peter Pan’s Flight line And if you wanted to throw on some 3D glasses and enjoy a show, you’d have to wait just as long for Philharmagic. The line was 40 minutes long and wrapped around the side of the building! Meanwhile, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train was at 75 minutes. But the area around the ride wasn’t too crowded — there was plenty of open space to walk around! Do our eyes deceive us? Look at all that open space! Over by Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe, we got REAL confused, because we couldn’t spot a single soul. Wait, WHAT?! But don’t worry! We found everyone by Splash Mountain, where the wait was 85 minutes. Splash Mountain was a hit today! Certain areas around Magic Kingdom were packed, but others were surprisingly spacious! Let’s check out what’s going on in EPCOT. Check Out Which Magic Kingdom Staple Is Closing Temporarily! EPCOT EPCOT wasn’t popping in Future World. Talk about space to walk! Let’s go search for the rest of the people! And while there was a line by Spaceship Earth, the congestion wasn’t too bad otherwise. Spaceship Earth line But as usual, we found everyone chillin’ in the Mexico Pavilion in the World Showcase! This narrow walkway tends to pack people tightly together as it funnels everyone through. We found the crowds! We’ll keep you posted as we see how EPCOT’s crowds shift throughout the week! Rose and Crown Dining Room Is Reopening Soon in EPCOT! We’ll be in the parks the rest of the week, and we’ll update this post with all the latest details on the crowds! We’re expecting the next few days to be BUSY in Disney World — all 4 parks are at capacity every single day! ©Disney We’ll be in the thick of it all, keeping ya posted.

Greetings from EPCOT’s lovely China pavilion! We’re stopping for a sip at the Joy of Tea. This cute kiosk serves up more than the name implies. Joy of Tea Ok, sure, there’s tea. In fact, our most recent drink here was the yummy Shanghai Milk Candy Bubble Tea. But you’ll also find a few cocktails like the famous Tipsy Ducks in Love up for grabs, too. Today, though, we came across a Drink Special featuring a truly unexpected ingredient… We noticed the sign for something simply called the “Drink Special” listing a combo unlike any we’ve had here — or just about anywhere in the park — before. It’s peach liquor with fresh strawberry milk. (Nope. No tea. ) Drink Special sign Looks like strawberry milk is having a moment. So, why don’t we give this a go? Strawberry Milk with Peach Liquor Right off the bat, we noticed that the peach liquor is poured right on top, so we mixed it well on our own before drinking, and recommend you do the same. Strawberry Milk with Peach Liquor Now before we dive in, I want to mention the weather — we’re talking mid-80s here today. I don’t know about you, but on a hot day like today, the thought of a big glass of milk doesn’t exactly strike me as refreshing. But the real surprise here is that this drink is exactly that! Strawberry Milk with Peach Liquor Clearly, strawberry milk is not something that is going to appeal to everybody no matter what the weather is like. But together with the ice and the peach flavor we found it to be quite enjoyable! Strawberry Milk with Peach Liquor BUT, we do offer one more word of warning: the texture is also going to be off-putting for some. You can tell just by looking at it that the milk is fresh. We thought it was delicious, but the truth is that this drink at the Joy of Tea won’t be everyone’s… umm, cup of tea. Still, for $11.00 we think this pink drink is a nice sip for spring!

Take a look at how some of our contributions over the last year made a difference.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/2nr3b54LUcc View the full article

Disneyland Resort has been closed since March 2020. Disneyland Gate However, the resort seems to be moving towards a phased reopening! Disney California Adventure’s limited-time A Touch of Disney event kicks off this week, and Disneyland recently announced that it’s aiming for a late April reopening. To prep for this, we’ve seen Cast Members INSIDE Disneyland— and now, we’ve spotted more signs that the parks are getting ready to welcome us back! While we were passing by Disneyland’s gates today (and wishing we were inside), we noticed some social distancing markers had been added outside the turnstiles! Social distancing markers have arrived! And when we got a little closer, we saw signs on the trash cans and lampposts that look similar to the safety notices we’ve seen around Disney World. Really squint — can you see it back there?! But that’s not all! The social distancing markers were also outside the gate to Disney California Adventure. Of course, these could very well just be prep for A Touch of Disney. More social distancing markers! Even though Disney hasn’t announced an official reopening date for Disneyland, we’re excited to see some progress being made! We’ll be sure to keep you posted with the latest updates, so stay tuned to DFB! Check Out Those Cast Members INSIDE Disneyland!

Aloha, my friends, from Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! ALOHA from Polynesian Village Resort We’re back at one of our favorite watering holes at the Resort to do a little St. Patrick’s Day sippin’ with a new limited-time cocktail. (Yep, we’ve been here a LOT recently — and with good reason.) Let me tell you right now, if you find yourself ANYWHERE NEAR the Barefoot Pool Bar, you’re going to want to know about this… Meet the Lucky Shamrock Cocktail! Lucky Shamrock Cocktail This festive concoction mixes coconut rum with melon liqueur and pineapple juice. But wait! There’s more… Lucky Shamrock Cocktail Vanilla smoothie cream completes this creation, which is also garnished with a rim of green sugar sprinkles. Lucky Shamrock Cocktail OH, MY… the Lucky Shamrock is most definitely a LUCKY find! Melon is the prominent flavor, but the vanilla cream provides a fabulous balance and compliments it wonderfully. And, of course, you’re getting plenty of tropical tastes with a nice kick from the coconut rum together with the pineapple. Lucky Shamrock Cocktail It’s creamy, refreshing, and sweet (but not overly so, which is a pleasant surprise when you consider the components). In short, it’s a St. Patrick’s Day drink that’s simply perfect for the Poly! We absolutely LOVED it. You’ll find it at the Barefoot Pool Bar for $12.00 for a limited time! Of course, like I mentioned, it’s not the ONLY boozy bevy we’ve been enjoying at the Barefoot recently… Check out our Spiked Kakamora creation by clicking here! CHEERS!

We’re getting excited for Disney World’s 50th anniversary! Cinderella Castle Concept Art ©Disney The celebration will begin October 1st, 2021 (that’s Disney World’s 50th birthday!), and will be a whopping 18 months long. Mickey and Minnie are gonna rock brand-new costumes, and each of the 4 park icons will receive a mini-transformation. And believe it or not, we’ve already seen some progress on the Cinderella Castle makeover in Magic Kingdom! Plus, we’ve gotten a behind-the-scenes peek at what the final result will look like. But today, Disney Imagineer Zach Riddley shared a look at the inspiration behind the transformation. A huge part of that inspiration came from Disney Legend Mary Blair, who worked on a ton of classic Disney films (including Cinderella!). Riddley explained that her “designs provided us a beautiful palette of rich hues to choose from” — we’ll see deep blues, purple, and gold on the final look. ©Disney You can see how Disney will draw details from Blair’s concept art: just take a look at those similarities! And if you noticed the ribbons draping on the castle turrets — those are inspired by Cinderella’s transformation into her iconic gown. ©Disney We’ll be sure to keep you updated as we learn more about the 50th anniversary transformations all around Disney World!

The EPCOT logo and the attraction title are also printed with metallic inks, giving them a really cool look. This is a limited release item though. It’ll only be available now through March 31st, 2021. These posters can sometimes sell out quickly though, so be sure to check it out before it’s gone! You can get it right now from shopDisney for $99. Click here to get the Living Seas poster! If you prefer to make believe you’re a tiny little seed, then you’ll love The Land poster!

Disney is constantly adjusting its safety policies and procedures. Minnie Mouse knows the importance of a comfortable face covering! Recently, it updated its mask guidelines and specified that guests who received the COVID-19 vaccine will still need to wear a face covering on property. But we recently noticed an important change in the parks that could impact how you social distance. Currently, Disney has social distancing markers spaced at least 6 feet apart for groups to stand on while they wait in lines. Previously, they’ve stated that guests in parties of more than 10 will need to split into smaller groups on these markers and elsewhere in the parks to allow for social distancing. Now, though, people will need to get into even smaller groups. A new social distancing policy has arrived! We spotted a new social distancing policy on trash cans near ride lines, stating that no more than 4 guests could stand on each social distancing marker. When we’ve been out in the parks, we’ve noticed that it’s been tricky fitting larger groups on a single “Please stand here” line, so this change may assist with that. Parties of more than 4 must now split up onto separate social distancing markers. Next time you’re out and about in Disney World with a large crew, make sure you split into groups of 4 to wait in lines! We’ll keep you posted with more Disney updates, so stay tuned to DFB.

If there’s one thing we love ALMOST as much as Mickey Mouse around here… Mickey in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! … it’s a Mickey Mouse-shaped SNACK! And we found not one, but TWO new Mickey snack tributes today in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! We’re making two separate stops along Hollywood Boulevard to check out the new Mickey Mouse Brownie AND the new Mickey Mouse Chocolate Chip Cookie. Are you ready for this Mickey snack throwdown?! Our first stop is The Trolley Car Café (and, as the park’s Starbucks location, it’s just about everyone’s first stop)! The Trolley Car Cafe This is where we spied the Mickey Chocolate Chip Cookie just hanging out in the bakery case. Hi there, fella! Mickey Chocolate Chip Cookie No surprise ingredients here: it’s a thick, golden chocolate chip cookie packed with chocolate chunks. Why mess with a classic? Mickey Chocolate Chip Cookie Here’s the thing with Mickey-shaped snacks, though… Mickey Chocolate Chip Cookie The Ears can make things a little tricky trying to get him out of the wrapper all in one piece! Mickey Chocolate Chip Cookie But that’s also a sign of how very soft this cookie is — nice and chewy! It’s every bit as delicious as it looks. Mickey Chocolate Chip Cookie Of course, it’s not the only chocolate chip cookie in Hollywood Studios, and it’s hard not to compare this Mickey Cookie to the famous Num Num Cookie. Num Num Cookie We still think Num Nums are the way to go, since you get a LOT more cookie without any cut outs for the Ears… as much as we LOVE those Ears! It’s good to know, though, that the $3.99 price of the Mickey Cookie reflects that, as opposed to the $6.19 you’ll spend for a Num Num. So, if you would love a Mickey to pair with your morning coffee? Well, the Mickey Chocolate Chip Cookie is a great choice, and a magically MICKEY way to start the day! Mickey Chocolate Chip Cookie Our next stop is the snack cart at the corner of Hollywood and Sunset Boulevard where we spotted this cutie… Mickey Mouse Brownie The Mickey Mouse Brownie! Coming in at $4.50, this is another classic treat, also packed with lots of those same chocolate chunks. Again, this snack is super soft. But it’s not the fudgiest brownie ever… Mickey Mouse Brownie It leans towards soft and rich over fudgey in consistency. Gotta tell ya, though… the Ears are just a smidge dry. (Sorry, Mickey!) The center is a much better texture. Mickey Mouse Brownie Between the two, we’re giving the edge to the Mickey Chocolate Chip Cookie. But these are two tasty treats that confirm the truth we’ve always known: EVERYTHING tastes better when it’s shaped like MICKEY!!! And no matter where or how he shows up in Hollywood Studios… Mickey Tribute at The Hollywood Brown Derby … it’s ALWAYS good to see him. Thanks, pal!! We found EVEN MORE MICKEY snacks in Hollywood Studios today… check it out here! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox! Click here to Subscribe!

We’ve had some THOUGHTS on this year’s Stitch Crashes Disney collection. ©shopDisney ICYMI: each month, our favorite alien pal Stitch crashes another classic Disney movie! We’ve seen him get covered in roses from Beauty and the Beast and dive straight into spaghetti from Lady and the Tramp. AND we’ve seen a bug-eyed, insect-infested The Lion King plush that we can describe as none other than terrifying. But now, we have a preview of next month’s plush! Okay, we can all breathe easy. Stitch in his newest form is NOT a scary insect alien. Instead, he looks ready for a dip in the ocean as he crashes The Little Mermaid! He’s covered in soft blues and greens — plus, he’s got a lil flower on his head. ©Disney Phew! Finally, a Stitch Crashes Disney plush that isn’t just plain WEIRD. Just take a look at this creepy little guy. WHY are his eyes red?! ©shopDisney The (much less scary) The Little Mermaid plush is part of the April Stitch Crashes Disney collection.

The world is constantly evolving when it comes to handling COVID-19. Minnie Mouse knows the importance of a comfortable face covering! And as the rollout of the vaccine continues, more analysis is being done. Disney has set many safety policies and procedures, which are also evolving as the coronavirus situation changes. Soon, there may be a shift in CDC guidelines that could potentially impact Disney’s current distancing requirements. According to Axios, the CDC is analyzing data that suggests 3 feet is sufficient for social distancing “under certain circumstances.” A study on Massachusetts public schools found “no substantial difference” in COVID-19 cases when comparing a 3-foot social distancing policy with a 6-foot one. The CDC will launch its own study in response to these results. Distancing Markers Dr. Anthony Fauci stated that it “it won’t be very long” before the CDC can adjust official social distancing guidelines — depending on the results of the study. Face covering sign Changes in these safety guidelines could also affect Disney World’s own social distancing policies, but there has been no indication yet that these will change.

If you’re in EPCOT this morning, you may have noticed that something’s a little different. EPCOT Rides will go down around Disney World for a variety of reasons: sometimes there’s technical difficulties, or sometimes the closure is longer for a scheduled refurbishment. But today, we noticed a few rides had closed unexpectedly in EPCOT. The American Adventure, Awesome Planet, Living with the Land, The Seas withe Nemo and Friends, and Soarin’ Around the World are ALL currently closed! A little earlier, Test Track was down, too, but it’s been reopened. ©Disney Disney hasn’t announced why all of these rides went down at the same time, or when they could be back up. We’ll keep an eye on these closures and let you know if anything changes. For now, you may wanna spend your morning at EPCOT trying all the Flower and Garden Festival treats and eats!

You can’t get much better than a classic Mickey waffle, right? Hollywood Scoops We’re constantly on the hunt for where you can get that Mickey waffle fix, and today, we spotted them at a new location! You may remember Hollywood Scoops in Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been switchin’ it up with their menu lately. On select days, you can even grab a Bloody Mary or Mimosa for breakfast! But today, we noticed a new addition to that menu. You guessed it: Hollywood Scoops is now servin’ up Mickey Waffles! For $9.50, you’ll get your waffles with blueberries, whipped cream, and syrup. We also got strawberry compote on the side of ours! Mickey Waffles have arrived at Hollywood Scoops! It’s not a surprise that these waffles were SO. Good. We loved the addition of blueberries to a classic Disney snack. Blueberry Mickey waffles?! Yes, please! We would have preferred regular strawberries instead of a strawberry compote, but that was the only catch! This is a solid breakfast, and if you’re a Mickey Waffle fan, you can’t go wrong with these. Now, here’s the important question: HOW can you get these waffles? Currently, Hollywood Scoops is serving breakfast till 11AM. And these waffles won’t be available every day: for now, they’ll only be offered on busier days (similar to those cocktails!). But if you’re hanging out on Sunset Blvd, it doesn’t hurt to swing by and see if you can grab ’em! YUM. We’ll keep you posted with any more changes to Hollywood Scoops’ menu! As always, say tuned to DFB for more Disney news. Check Out a Milkshake We Found at Hollywood Scoops! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!
