You may have once heard the adage that Disneyland is a “local’s park,” whereas Disney World is more of a tourist destination. While Disney never releases the exact breakdown of their attendance, it’s not difficult to tell after just a few visits to the Happiest Place on Earth that there are a lot of Annual Passholders. Like, A LOT. Disneyland Entrance In fact, analysts suggest that Disneyland had upwards of one million Annual Passholders when the park closures began in March of 2020 and accounted for an average of 50% of the parks’ daily attendance numbers. Even if that’s just an educated guess, the fact that one million is a feasible approximation is bonkers! How in the world did Disney get to this point, and what could it tell us about the future of Disneyland’s most loyal attendees? How did Disneyland accumulate so many Passholders? First, we need to try to crack the code to exactly how and why Disneyland could have accumulated so many Passholders in the first place. While there could be a number of reasons, there are two prominent factors at play. Disney California Adventure Park First, there is simply a larger pool of locals to purchase Annual Passes. Since Orange County (CA) and its neighboring Los Angeles County are so densely populated, there are plenty of folks that want their Disney fix within arm’s reach of the parks. Rather than plan an elaborate week-long vacation months in advance like most of us do for trips to Disney World, there are countless individuals within a 20 to 30 minute drive to the Disneyland gates. Crowds along Main Street, U.S.A. in Disneyland on the opening day of Rise of the Resistance in January 2020 Disney World may certainly attract more tourists on an annual basis, but it is also more likely to welcome families that visit only once a year, or less. Meanwhile, Disneyland attracts locals that could easily visit several times per month. Storytellers Statue in Disney California Adventure For added context, Orange County (FL) and its neighboring Osceola County have a combined population of approximately 1.8 million residents, according to the most recent Census data. Meanwhile, Orange County (CA) & Los Angeles County have a combined population of approximately 13.6 million residents. That’s more than seven times the amount of locals! Disneyland’s Magic Happens Parade The second reason Disneyland amassed a million Annual Passholders can be boiled down to their monthly payment options. Since the option was introduced, an Annual Pass that would cost $1,000 a year could be broken down into much more manageable payments of less than $100 per month. Sleeping Beauty Castle Suddenly that MASSIVE upfront fee can slide into your budget as just one of your monthly expenses. When a system that allows millions of people have access to Disneyland for less than $5 per day goes unchecked for decades, it’s easier to wrap your head around why it was nearly impossible for Disney to make any drastic changes to the system. Sure, Disney World offers monthly payment options for Florida residents with an Annual Pass, but again the sheer number of locals around Disneyland comes into play here. Click here to read more about just how many Annual Passholders Disneyland had prior to the closures. Why one million Passholders creates a logistical nightmare for Disney. So now that we have a basis for understanding exactly where all these Passholders came from, let’s chat about the challenges this presents Disneyland as they aim to reopen from their prolonged closure in 2021. Disney California Adventure Disneyland is, in a word, tiny. It’s approximately 500 acres according to visitanaheim.org, compared to Disney World, which is closer to 27,000 acres, or 40 square miles. You’re virtually comparing apples to grapes, or a few city blocks to an entire city the size of San Francisco, or Manhattan Island. The entirety of Disneyland and Disney California Adventure could fit comfortably in EPCOT. It’s itty bitty in comparison, guys. The Disneyland esplanade — from here, you are feet away from everything Disneyland has to offer! While not every Passholder visits at the same rate of frequency as others, the pent-up demand of not being able to visit creates a logistical nightmare when determining how they would even fit. According to Orange County Register, “it would take Disneyland nearly 20 days just to let each passholder into the park once. DCA (California Adventure) would take nearly twice as long. And that’s without allowing a single daily ticket-buyer or Disney hotel guest into the parks.” Sorcerer Mickey Rice Krispie Treat California’s theme park reopening guidance mandates that the parks can operate at 25% capacity in the initial reopening phase. That “stretches the length of time it would take to get each passholder into the parks just once from days to months: Nearly three months for Disneyland and approximately five months for DCA.” Carthay Circle If Disneyland sold these Annual Passes on the premise that it gave the customer frequent if not constant access to the parks (which they did, depending on which level Pass was purchased), there would understandably be a good deal of frustration with these capacity restrictions. Disneyland will likely adopt a similar Park Pass Reservation System that currently exists at Disney World, further restricting the number of times a guest can visit. Click here to refresh your memory on California’s theme park reopening guidance. So what does Disneyland do with one million ex-Passholders? When you look at the sheer volume of Disneyland Passholders along with the strict capacity restrictions that will be in place, it starts to make more sense why Disneyland had to make such drastic measures like “sunsetting” the previous program. Disney CEO Bob Chapek offered an additional perspective that the company was presented with an opportunity to improve the guest experience through major operational changes like overhauling the program. Disneyland At this time it’s still unclear what the full details of the replacement program will look like. We know that one is in the works, and that it will likely be very different from the Annual Passholder program locals were accustomed to. Haunted Mansion Holiday The Los Angeles Times worded it perfectly: “It’s a huge shift in Disneyland culture — many Southern Californians grew up with daily, weekly or monthly visits to the park during the nearly four decades the passes have been in existence.” No doubt we’ve all had to make major adjustments in the last year due to the pandemic, and shifting the Disneyland Passholder program is another sign of the times. Annual Passholder Magnet Driving around Southern California, it’s hard to drive down any street without passing several cars with Disneyland AP bumper stickers. We can only cross our fingers that the replacement Membership Program offers, as Ken Potrock stated, “choice, flexibility, and value for our biggest fans.” Click here to read more about Disneyland’s decision to “sunset” their Annual Passholder program.

This movie will share it all — and, if it’s anything as cool as the trailers, we’re in for a treat. Another sneak peek at the new movie debuted and we’re getting more of a glimpse into Cruella’s transformation. It looks like this fashionista is in for one crazy ride!

The sale of Disney World Annual Passes has been suspended for quite a while now. Hey, Donald! And although guests can buy them on 2 VERY specific conditions, most people who want a pass have been unable to purchase. This morning, though, there was a glitch on the U.K. Disney site that made it SEEM like you could snag an Annual Pass. When we visited the U.K. Disney site, we noticed an option to add the Platinum Annual Pass to our cart. Previously, this page wouldn’t load at all — visitors to the site couldn’t see pass options or prices. What could be goin’ on? ©Disney So of course, we investigated! We threw the Platinum Pass in our cart, and the site let us select the number of passes we wanted. ©Disney We were even able to hit Add to Cart! ©Disney Now, that did take a couple of tries. One time, when we hit Add to Cart we got an error message instead. But we persisted! ©Disney We were able to put in ALL our info to check out and were given the good ol’ Woody loading page. ©Disney Okay, now here’s where the glitch REALLY kicks in. Just when you think you’re good to go, that Woody loading page switched over to this unfortunate error message. And ya know the drill: since Stitch ate the page, you’ll be unable to go any further with your purchase. ©Disney Moral of the story: Annual Passes are still NOT for sale. We’re not sure what caused this glitch to pop up — and on the U.K. site in particular — but no matter how many times you try, you’ll keep gettin’ that Stitch error message. We’ll be sure to keep an eye on the Annual Pass situation and let you know if anything changes. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news! Learn Why Disney World Annual Passes Aren’t for Sale!

Welcome to this week’s construction updates from Disney World! Disney World We’re giving you a look at the latest updates on the projects underway throughout the Disney World Parks and Resorts. There’s a LOT going on as we approach the 50th Anniversary, so let’s check it all out. Magic Kingdom Peter Pan’s Flight At the classic Fantasyland attraction, Peter Pan’s Flight, a themed scrim is still in place surrounding the buildings. We can barely tell the difference We still think this look is much better than the previous brown scrim, but we’d (unsurprisingly) prefer to see the building itself. Hopefully, once all this refurbishment is finished, Peter Pan’s Flight will be looking better than ever. Magic Kingdom Wait Times Go DOWN As Disney World Hits Capacity Cinderella Castle Cinderella Castle is getting ready for its makeover! The surrounding moat remains drained as work takes place in preparation for all the exciting updates. Very empty moat An update on the work taking place at the castle stage shows the addition of ice and water shields, which are the coverings you can see. Castle Stage Although Cinderella Castle hasn’t been looking super magical recently, it did receive the first feature of its 50th Anniversary Makeover! This pretty gold, purple, and blue decoration can be seen on the left side of the castle. Cinderella Castle 50th Decor We can’t wait to see more decorations covering the castle! Learn more about the 50th Anniversary celebrations here! Gaston’s Tavern Because Gaston wants his tavern to be the BEST in the kingdom, it was time for a little sprucing up. The sign at Gaston’s Tavern recently got a fresh coat of paint! Nice and fresh! This week, the fountain in front of the tavern was drained. No one stands in a drained fountain like Gaston Then, when we returned over the weekend, the fountain had been refilled. LeFou is having a hard time Just another way to woo Belle, we suppose. Our Day in Magic Kingdom: Another Ride is Loading Every Row and a Merchandise Shop is Reopening EPCOT Harmonious A large crane held construction workers as they worked on the main centerpiece of EPCOT’s upcoming nighttime show, Harmonious. Harmonious Construction Later that same day, we saw one of the Harmonious barges testing some water effects!

We’ve been busy eating everything at the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, as well as checking out all of the amazing St. Patrick’s Day treats at Disney World! BREAD from Les Halles. We love bread! But we’ve also been paying attention to each restaurant at Disney World, looking for any menu changes, and this week, we noticed a LOT of price changes. Like A LOT. It seems Disney is busy tweaking its prices around the parks, but don’t worry — they’re not all price increases, at least! So on with the updates! Magic Kingdom Spring Roll Cart We are SUPER happy the Spring Roll Cart in Magic Kingdom is open again. But we noticed a bit of a change in pricing there: those spring rolls are now going to cost a few more dollars. These babies are going to cost you more now. Two eggrolls now cost $9.50, as opposed to the previous $7.50.

Last year, the global health pandemic changed our lives — including our lives at Disney World. Minnie Mouse knows the importance of a comfortable face covering! After Disney World reopened, the parks were drastically different with new health and safety guidelines, including the requirement of facial coverings for all guests over the age of 2, social distancing, and an increase in cleaning and sanitization throughout the parks. But as we get into further 2021, things are beginning to change again: vaccinations are now available, and those who have been vaccinated have been cleared by the CDC to gather in small groups without masks. Main Street, U.S.A. Recently, President Biden’s Chief Medical Adviser, Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN that we’ll have more normalcy in the U.S. by the 4th of July as more Americans get vaccinated. He said, “If by the time we get to the Fourth of July, with the rollout of the vaccine, we get the level of infection so low — I’m not going to be able to tell you exactly what the specific guidelines of the (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) are, but I can tell you for sure (guidelines) will be much more liberal than they are right now about what you can do.” Plexiglass barriers in the Pirates of the Caribbean queue When asked if people can return to a degree of normalcy without masks and social distancing by the Fourth of July, he replied, “Yes…there will be a greater degree of confidence” in that. He had previously indicated, though, that Americans might need to continue to wear masks outside their homes in 2022. Orange Bird Mask Disney CEO Bob Chapek also previously suggested that Disney World would probably still expect guests to wear masks throughout 2021, although he added by saying: “a game-changer would be if everyone who wants a vaccine can get a vaccine in April.” Face Mask Signage President Biden recently directed states to make all adults eligible for COVID-19 vaccines by May this year. He also said that Americans should be able to gather in small groups by the 4th of July.

This past week was the start of spring break season at Disney World! Cinderella Castle Even before the week started, we had noticed that Park Pass availability for the week was filling up fast! Disney even extended park hours in anticipation of crowds. As the week progressed, we saw what might have been the busiest week at Disney World since the reopening! Here’s the thing, though — the parks are still operating at limited capacity, so these crowds are NOTHING like an at capacity Disney World in the past. We can say that we were surprised by spring break weekend because there were times when we were wondering where all the people were! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Disney’s Animal Kingdom felt a little packed at times on both Saturday and Sunday, but groups seemed to be able to continue to maintain social distancing without a problem. Tree of Life Compared to how we’ve seen it pre-closure, Pandora was almost a ghost town at times! Maybe it’s because everyone was waiting in line to ride Na’vi River Journey and Flight of Passage, which both saw wait times of just a little over an hour while we were there. But those are pretty low compared to wait times pre-closure. Pandora Dinoland, U.S.A. was also pretty quiet. People were there, but this isn’t even close to typical of what we’ve previously seen on Spring Break. Dinoland, U.S.A. Ride lines have occasionally made certain areas feel more congested, but still nothing like what we’ve seen before. Expedition Everest All in all, there WERE people at Animal Kingdom, but things weren’t as busy as we might have expected. See Photos Of When We Waited Backstage For Lumpia! EPCOT It was about the same over at EPCOT, although morning crowds were fairly light throughout the weekend. Spaceship Earth There WERE a lot of people at EPCOT, but, again, social distancing is not a problem. EPCOT World Showcase We did notice, however, that the Zodiac Garden was moved away from the Frozen Ever After line (which often reaches to the China Pavilion). Moved back away from the line. Walking around the World Showcase was pretty easy, actually. It’s hard to believe it’s a Spring Break weekend! EPCOT crowds Mexico, though, as always, was hopping. So it seems many of the Spring Break folks might have already left? Well, Park Passes are almost completely gone for the month of March, so we’ll continue to keep an eye on what crowds look like. As of Sunday, things are pretty quiet in the parks compared to earlier in the week! We’ll continue to monitor crowds in the parks and give you updates!

Things are CONSTANTLY changing at Disney World — some things have closed, some things have reopened, and many things are being refurbished! Pop Century Resort Remember in January when we told you about the Hippy Dippy Pool at Disney’s Pop Century getting a refurbishment? Well, we’ve got some great news — the Hippy Dippy Pool is now open again! The refurbishment was set to last until March 2021, but Disney didn’t release an exact date. It’s a warm day in Florida, so we weren’t surprised to see people already out in the pool getting cooled off. Good day for a swim This is such a fun pool, too, with its 1960s retro vibe. Yes, we can dig it! Love the vibe here We’re glad to see another refurb project complete! So if you’re staying at Disney’s Pop Century Resort anytime soon, be sure to drop by the Hippy Dippy Pool for a mid-day park break and a little pool time.

Vintage Vinyl Band Of course, we had to check out this brand-new experience. We got to see the Vintage Vinyl Band perform! Groovin’ They played Top 40 hits with a retro spin while dancing along!

This week has been filled with all sorts of St. Patrick’s Day treats. Hollywood Studios Well, we’re taking a quick break from all of the green treats to try a cookie that just debuted in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Over at Rosie’s All-American Cafe on Sunset Boulevard, we spotted the new Snacking Sandwich Cookie. Snacking Sandwich Cookie Now, it may look kind of simple, but it’s actually far from it! This snack featured a thick square of marshmallow sandwiched between two shortbread cookies that have pretzel pieces in them! Plus, it’s dipped in chocolate and topped with pretzel and potato chip pieces, and flaky salt. Sweet and salty! We found the cookie itself to be buttery, very crumbly, and not especially sweet. On its own, we didn’t love the cookie, but it was a great combination with the marshmallow and chocolate (and, that was a THICK marshmallow). Pretzel piece in the cookie! Overall, we liked the way all the sweet and salty flavors came together in this cookie sandwich. Altogether, it sorta tasted like a chocolate-covered pretzel. We do kinda wish that another kind of cookie was used, rather than shortbread. Very thick marshmallow We’re not sure if this would be a hit with kids, but it definitely features a lot of sweet flavors. So, if your kiddo has a sweet tooth, they might enjoy it. The cookie sandwich costs $4.99. Check back with us for more reviews of the latest Disney World snacks!

It’s spring break season and that means a LOT of folks are headed to Disney World. Disney World With the current capacity restrictions, that means that we’ve seen the Disney Park Pass theme park reservations COMPLETELY filled for several days in March — today included. We expected a busy, busy day in Disney World, but it was a little complicated… We had reporters in Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom today. As you might know, Disney’s Hollywood Studios is presently the park the books up the FASTEST in Disney World so we’ve seen LOTS of capacity days in that park. Let’s take a look at the crowds today! Magic Kingdom Here’s a glimpse at what the crowds looked like in Magic Kingdom! Magic Kingdom Crowds We spent much of our afternoon in Magic Kingdom and we will say, it felt…empty. Okay, maybe it didn’t feel super-slow-day empty but we haven’t seen the castle hub look this clear in a while. There weren’t even any lines for PhotoPass spots! Magic Kingdom Crowds We would say that the limited capacity was very apparent today. Despite every single park pass being booked, walkways were still wide open. Pretty empty! Now, this wasn’t the case all over the park. We wouldn’t say it was SUPER slow. Where are all the people? Some areas had significant crowding. When we passed by Haunted Mansion, it felt a LOT more like a high crowd day. Found ’em! And Fantasyland felt that way at times too! Wait times were about what they have been with a few expected spikes. Lots of people! Seven Dwarfs Mine Train sat at around an hour wait and Splash Mountain was above an hour for most of the day. Magic Kingdom Crowds It’s likely that even when we were seeing empty walkways, queues and restaurants were full. “it’s a small world” queue As you can see from this picture too, it felt like much of the crowd moved to Fantasyland at one point. Everyone wants to be in Fantasyland! As we moved out of Fantasyland and into Tomorrowland, the crowds thinned. Magic Kingdom Crowds Again, we were in Magic Kingdom during the afternoon so it’s possible that many of the guests who started their day in the park had park-hopped. Magic Kingdom Crowds Still, color us surprised! This is certainly not what we expected today when we drove into a fully booked Magic Kingdom. Umm…what? As of the last update from the Walt Disney Company, the Disney World parks are still operating at 35% capacity. Magic Kingdom honestly felt less busy than we’ve seen it on non-capacity days. Click here to see the latest news from Magic Kingdom! EPCOT Over in EPCOT, we saw a similar ebb and flow of crowds. At times, walkways felt busy. Lots of people walking around the world (showcase) Other times, it seemed like there was plenty of room to spare. Plenty of space! Mouse Gear is typically a good indicator of how busy the park is and we spotted a pretty long line to get into the merchandise spot. Waiting to shop! Really though, EPCOT mostly felt like a regular day. EPCOT Crowds The EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival is in full swing, and it looked about as difficult as usual to find a table. There ARE options, you just have to keep an eye out when you grab your food or drinks. EPCOT Crowds We were in EPCOT for much of the day and we saw crowds and wait times fluctuate, much like they did in Magic Kingdom. EPCOT Crowds Even though crowds felt a little lighter, the pinch point between Norway and China was still notably congested. Some bottlenecking! As for wait times, they were about the same as (if not lower than!) recent days. We saw Test Track fluctuate between 50 minutes and an hour and other attractions remained under an hour wait. Line for Frozen Ever After Sure, EPCOT felt like it was a busier day. EPCOT Crowds But, recent days have brought crowds that we thought were more shocking or the same — and the park hasn’t technically been at capacity. Want to see the latest news from EPCOT? Click here! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Finally, let’s check in on the crowds at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Crowds in Dinoland Wait times in this park have been HIGH over the past few days and today followed that pattern. Dinosaur has had waits around 45 minutes most of the time. Animal Kingdom Crowds When Dinoland, U.S.A. isn’t super sparse, we tend to think it’s a busier day. There were definitely folks around but we’ve seen this area PACKED earlier this week. Animal Kingdom Crowds The path between Dinoland and Asia felt tighter due to the routing of the Expedition Everest queue. The queue for Expedition Everest stretches way back! And we saw a LOT more crowding when we made it into Asia. This is certainly more of what we’d expect from an at-capacity day. Pretty crowded here! There were definitely points where you had to stay vigilant to keep a distance from other guests. Traffic Flow But, just like the other parks, some areas opened up with a lot of breathing room! Animal Kingdom Crowds Crowds seemed to be prevalent in some areas and not others. Africa looking a bit more crowded! We DID notice that the walkway between Africa and Pandora was open today. We’ve previously seen the path closed because the park was so busy. Almost no one in sight! Mobile Order spots saw some congestion, as usual. But even Pandora didn’t have surprising crowds. Pandora Still, LOTS of folks were in line with wait times at Flight of Passage and Na’vi River Journey sitting above an hour. Animal Kingdom Crowds Animal Kingdom probably felt the most consistently crowded of the three (which is not usual!), but it still felt less crowded than other recent days. To see more of the latest from Animal Kingdom, click here! So, there you have it! It’s certainly a little difficult to predict crowds in all of the Disney parks, even during an at-capacity day.

Well, now we’re seeing MORE changes at a fan-favorite EPCOT spot.

NEW or Changed Items First, we’ll dive into the items that are NEW or have changed at Les Halles. First, we’ve got the NEW Dinde B.L.T.

Les Halles Boulangerie Food Options For the Mimosa, it used to be made with sparkling wine and orange juice. Now, however, the menu notes that it is specifically made with Champagne and Orange Juice. The price has also increased from $7.95 to $8.95. But, one of the changes that REALLY caught our eye is with the Bisque de Homard (Lobster Bisque) which was $5.75, and is now $5.95. The price increase isn’t the big change here though. In the description of the item, Disney REMOVED the part that said it came in a bread bowl!! Bisque de Homard NO MORE BREAD BOWLS?!

One of the coolest features of Disney World’s PhotoPass is being able to see your on-ride photos. PhotoPass Whether you’re screaming on Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, or screaming on Tower of Terror, or maybe you’re screaming on Expedition Everest — Disney’s there to capture it all. These photos are great souvenirs to bring home to always remember some of your favorite rides from Disney World. Now, Disney is testing a new feature that will make it even easier to keep track of your photos. Today, while in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we got a notification from the My Disney Experience App letting us know about a new feature. Disney’s Hollywood Studios This new feature is in pilot right now, so they’re just testing it out for the time being. Notification from My Disney Experience The new feature is meant to allow attraction photos to be linked automatically through the My Disney Experience App! Essentially, your ride photos will automatically be linked directly to your app, rather than having to tap your MagicBand to the scanner at the PhotoPass spot at the end of the ride (although you can still do that). Automatic Attraction Photo Linking Testing! For this new feature to work, the Bluetooth on your phone must be enabled for the My Disney Experience App prior to riding the attraction. The notice said that the new feature is being tested specifically for Tower of Terror and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at the moment, but we’ll be keeping an eye out for any testing done in other parks. Disney’s Hollywood Studios We’ll be looking out for any new updates throughout Disney World, so be sure to check back with us!
