It seems like just yesterday it was Christmastime in Disney World and we were sipping hot cocoa and snacking on peppermint! Christmas Tree Or more aptly, it seems like TODAY, because we literally just had a peppermint drink in Disney World! In the form of a weirdly merry St. Patrick’s Day drink special at Disney Springs! Are you as confused as we are? Typically, when a drink or a snack is bright green and flecked with peppermint crumbles, we can safely assume it’s a Christmas treat, right? RIGHT?! Peppermint Churro As is clearly the case with a March drink special in Disney Springs, the green-tinted line between Christmas and St. Patrick’s Day is much thinner than we thought! The festive drink is the “Peppermint Patti,” and it’s the March special at YeSake, a kiosk that serves up globally-inspired street food with whimsy and pizza innovations! Peppermint Patti at YeSake But did they get a little TOO whimsical with this one? Let’s find out! Peppermint Patti at Disney Springs Okay, so it’s a green lemonade, whipped cream, and pieces of peppermint bark. There’s a LOT going on here. Peppermint Patti The lemonade actually just tastes like super sweet lemonade, which we weren’t big fans of on its own, but the peppermint flavor with the lemonade is a bit jarring. We aren’t sure why anyone would want to drink something tart like lemonade and minty like peppermint, but if that’s your thing, you’ll want to try this. Peppermint Patti It’s like drinking lemonade immediately after brushing your teeth, which is not the IDEAL refreshment… . We kept getting tiny peppermint pieces in our sips and it was not very enjoyable. Peppermint Patti It’s certainly a bright and colorful drink, and YeSake gets props for their apparent commitment to Christmas (which we fully support), but this one is a tad on the wild side if you’re looking for a more traditional lemonade flavor, or a more traditional minty St. Patrick’s Day snack! You may just wanna stick with a tried-and-true Shamrock Shake. If you’re curious, you can try one for yourself for $8 at YeSake in Disney Springs! If you love coffee and St. Patrick’s Day, Disney’s got a new treat for you! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox! Click here to Subscribe!

The global health crisis has created many challenges for the tourism industry, especially for those businesses with cruise lines. Last year, even Disney confirmed that the last of its business to resume would be its cruises. Disney Cruise Line Wonder Ship As of this year, sailings for Disney Cruise Line were originally canceled through February, but that was extended to March and April. Select cruises have also been canceled through August. After Canada extended its cruise ship ban through 2022, which prohibits cruise ships from entering Canadian waters, all Disney cruises departing from Canada (including some Alaska cruises) were removed from the Disney Cruise Line website for booking. Animator’s Palate on Disney Wonder Now, though, USA Today reports that Alaska officials have proposed the “Alaska Tourism Recovery Act,” which would allow cruise ships to go to Alaska without stopping in Canada. Currently, U.S. maritime law requires international stops for such ships, but Canada’s ban prohibits ships from stopping there. Alaska cruise U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski said in a release: “Canada’s recent decision to prohibit Alaska-bound cruise ships from operating in Canadian waters creates legal hurdles that will hamstring the Alaska cruise season, creating additional economic strain on Alaska’s entire economy, especially in our Southeast communities.” Donald on a Disney Cruise to Alaska Last week, the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure sent a letter to U.S. Canadian ambassador Kirsten Hillman requesting that Canada reconsider its ban through 2022. That letter asked the Canadian government to work with the U.S. to find a “mutually agreeable solution” for the cruise industry.

The day for Blizzard Beach to FINALLY reopen at Disney World is almost here, and by the looks of the forecast, the water park could live up to its name! Blizzard Beach March 7th marks the official return of Blizzard Beach, and with projected temperatures in the 50s and low 60s, things could get pretty chilly. It feels like it’s been AGES since we’ve splashed down water slides at Blizzard Beach, and we’ve been super excited for the park’s return this month! What we didn’t expect, however, was the very real possibility of having to pair our bathing suits with coats?! And face coverings, of course. Blizzard Beach The weather is forecast to be unseasonably cold this weekend, which feels oddly fitting for the reopening of a water park named after a snowpocalypse. Blizzard Beach Just how cold are we talking? So cold that Volcano Bay at Universal Studios Orlando has already announced its closure for the weekend. So cold that the Warming Hut sounds like it’s going to be a HAVEN. Warming Hut back to doing it’s warming! It is normal for Disney waterparks to close due to cold weather, so it is possible the grand opening of Blizzard Beach could be pushed off. Water parks have closed with projected weather in the 60s and 50s which is what we can expect from the weather tomorrow! Blizzard Beach We’ll be keeping an eye on it, and we’ll let you know if the water park plans to open their doors or not!

Due to the global health crisis, Tokyo Disneyland — along with Disney’s other resorts across the world — closed its doors in February 2020. Its theme parks reopened in July, later seeing the return of nighttime entertainment, as well as character meet and greets. Splash Mountain at Tokyo Disneyland In December, Japan announced a travel ban on non-resident foreign travelers due to an increase in COVID-19 cases. Soon after, Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea announced reduced hours through January, and then later through March 7th. The reduced hours for Tokyo Disney’s theme parks are now expected to continue through March 21st. A statement from Tokyo Disney Resort shared this update, also indicating that the number of guests being admitted into the parks would continue to be limited. Tokyo Disney Sea Operating hours for both parks — at least for the time being — will be from 10AM to 7PM. The decision was based on a state of emergency declared by the Japanese government, as well as requests from local authorities. As always, we’ll continue to monitor the situation and let you know if anything changes.

In case you haven’t heard, there are some MAJOR shakeups happening over at the Disneyland Resort. In January, Disney announced that they would “sunset” the current Annual Passholder program, leaving countless Disneyland fans wondering what was to come when the parks reopen. Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle Let’s recap exactly what has gone down thus far with Disneyland’s Annual Passholder program since the closures began, and what we can expect to see as a replacement program later this year. What Happened to Annual Passholders Right After Disneyland Closed? There were, understandably, loads of questions from Passholders on both coasts when the theme parks shut down in March of 2020. In the first few weeks of their closure, Disneyland offered refunds to Passholders who had paid in full, as well as payment freezes to Passholders who were on the monthly payment program. Passholders were also given the option to keep their original expiration date, or extend the expiration date based on the length of the closure. Of course, this was back before anyone realized just how long Disneyland’s closure would last. Disneyland Main Entrance, taken just a few days after the resort’s closure began As of this writing, Disneyland is expected to remain closed through spring, and analysts predicted that Disneyland may not reopen until summer of 2021. That left many to wonder what will become of Disneyland’s Annual Passholder program. By the time the parks reopen, every previously active Disneyland Pass would have lapsed or expired since no one had the option to renew. Click here to read more about when Disneyland could reopen. What Did Disney Decide To Do Next? Disneyland announced in January of 2021 (ten months after the parks closed) that they were “sunsetting” their Annual Passholder Program, effectively ending the program as we knew it. This was quickly followed by lots of confusion regarding Passholder refunds, and even more confusion for Premier Passholders with access to both Disneyland and Disney World. Annual Passholder Magnet This was a MAJOR culture shock moment to Southern California locals, many of whom had Annual Passes to Disneyland for decades. Understandably, even more questions were brought up regarding the future of Disneyland’s most loyal fans. A couple of weeks later, Disneyland announced that they were introducing a new “Legacy Passholder” program. Click here to read more about Disneyland’s decision to discontinue their Annual Passholder program. What (and Who) is a Legacy Passholder? Legacy Passholders are those who had ACTIVE Annual Passes the day Disneyland’s closure began, which was March 14th, 2020. So if your Pass already expired prior to that date, you are not considered to be a Legacy Passholder. ©Disney Disneyland shared that their Legacy Passholders will still be able to benefit from “magical extras,” including food and merchandise discounts, special event sneak peeks, and more — but exact details on what those magical extras would include weren’t announced right away. WandaVision Photo Op So far, Legacy Passholders have had sneak peeks to a WandaVision photo op, a Star Wars Trading Post preview shopping event, and have had their merchandise discount upped temporarily to 30%. Legacy Passholder preview to the new Star Wars Trading Post in Downtown Disney Most recently, we found out Passholders will get access to a “special opportunity” at the ticketed event coming soon to Disney Calfornia Adventure. So, aside from whatever that opportunity ends up being, nothing new or out of the ordinary has been offered to Legacy Passholders. So far the benefits look to be the same as before, just under a new name. Click here to read more about Disneyland’s Legacy Passholder program. What’s Next For Disneyland’s Passholder Program? As of this writing, a lot of the details are still unknown. Disney said that details about a new membership program will be announced when we hear about the parks reopening, so until that happens, it is likely we’ll have more questions than we do answers in the coming months. Disney California Adventure Park Disney’s wording on their website is that the Legacy Passholder program was announced “to show our appreciation until new membership offerings are announced,” so it sounds like the Legacy Passholder program will be retired once a replacement program is launched. Disneyland Entrance We will point out that there will likely be a MAJOR difference between the word “passholder” and the word “membership.” Whatever Disney comes up with, it could wind up being very different than the Annual Passholder program we used to know. Disney may have had to change the name to “Legacy Passholders” to avoid confusion down the road if they are indeed rolling out a “Membership” program. Disneyland Annual Passholder Magnet A replacement system IS in the works, with Disney considering new factors like frequency of pass use, price, and the level of spontaneity of park trips (Disneyland Passholders are known for last-minute spontaneous trips!). Additionally, according to Orange County Register, Passholders may be asked to share about the specific times of the day, week, and year that they would prefer to use a new program. Click here to read more about what could be on the horizon for a replacement Disneyland “membership” program! Ultimately, it will still be sometime before we understand the full scope of the replacement program Disneyland is creating. While the details are still unknown, all signs point to something very different than what Passholders may have been used to in the past. Disney World has changed quite a bit since its phased reopening began in July of 2020, and we can expect the same to be the case when Disneyland eventually reopens as well. We’ll be following all the latest developments from the west coast and we will keep you informed! Check out more Disneyland Food Reviews Here!!

Here at DFB, we LOVE snacking our way through Disney World. But every once in a while, we try to squeeze in something healthier. The Polite Pig at Disney Springs! And that means you get to hear about one of the least eaten snacks at Disney World — salads. Recently, we had our servings of green from the BoardWalk Bakery and now we’re giving another salad a try (we know, very unlike us). So, join us as we take a break from our regularly scheduled Disney dessert programming and try out something on the lighter side. Where is our salad journey taking us to next? The Polite Pig at Disney Springs! We ordered the Florida Strawberry Salad. The salad is made with organic field greens, strawberries, feta, granola, sorghum dressing, and garnished with edible magnolia petals. You can order this decadent salad as a side for $6 or full for $13. We played it safe and got the side portion to make sure we weren’t overdoing it with the whole “health food” thing. Florida Strawberry Salad Side Salad (with a side of water, of course) And it turns out, we wish we had ordered the full size of this salad! Let’s first gush about the strawberries. We would like to personally thank the person who thought “hey, let’s throw some fruit on there” — it adds some great flavor! And, then combine it with the feta cheese — dee-lish-us! The granola is made with candied oats and pecan pieces and adds a good crunch to the salad too. Look at that close-up shot — she’s pretty! And honestly, there wasn’t anything we would change about this salad! Beyond the strawberries and feta, we also loved the dressing! Sorghum dressing is a southern vinaigrette-style dressing, and it reminded us a lot of balsamic vinaigrette. A lil’ bit of everything please! We don’t think there are many people who won’t like this spring salad so, unless you’re anti-green food, we think this is a great dish to try! Plus, it’s got FLOWERS on top. If you’re looking for something healthy to go with all those Disney snacks and you find yourself in Disney Springs, head on over to The Polite Pig and let us know what you think! Watch Out, Gaston!

We don’t know about you, but we’ve been seriously obsessed with WandaVision. It’s WandaVision… on a bus! And we’ve really enjoyed seeing all the new WandaVision merchandise, along with eating some retro-inspired WandaVision cakes (one which left us WAY confused), and even seeing a Disney World bus dedicated to the series! And how could we forget the WandaVision frappuccino? It’s almost like we’re living in the Hex ourselves because WandaVision is everywhere! But now we’ve seen everything because we’ve got two — count ’em, TWO — WandaVision recipes to share! And these might be perfect for celebrating the season finale! The first recipe is for Sokovian Iced Tea, which is similar to what Wanda drank way back in episode 2 (SO much has happened since then!). Here’s how to make it! Refreshing beverage anyone? ©Marvel Sokovian Iced Tea Ingredients 1 cup powdered tea 1 cup powdered lemonade 2 .13oz packets cherry drink mix (or whatever color/flavor you are going for) Mint and lemon for garnish Directions Combine the mixes and store in an air-tight container. Dilute with hot or cold water according to your taste. Garnish with mint and lemon. That was easy! But wait — there’s more! We also have a recipe for Doctor Nielsen’s Baby Fruit Salad! This fruit salad gets its name from episode 3 when Dr. Nielsen checks on Wanda and her babies-to-be. When he explains how babies grow, he compares the different fetus sizes to fruit, ending his statement with “HONEY-DUE.” Dad joke alert, btw. Fruit! ©Marvel Doctor Nielsen’s Baby Fruit Salad Ingredients juice of one lemon 1 pear, peeled, cored, and diced 1 papaya, peeled, seeded, and diced 1 grapefruit, peeled and cut into segments 4 ounces fresh pineapple chunks 1 honeydew Binkies, for garnish Directions In a non-reactive bowl, place the lemon juice, pear, papaya, grapefruit, and pineapple. Toss to combine and coat with the lemon juice. To make the bassinet, slice a sliver off the side of the honeydew. This will make for a stable bottom to the bassinet. Make a vertical cut about 2/3 across to about halfway down from the top of the honeydew. Cut perpendicularly and remove the section of honeydew. Using a big spoon or melon baller, scrape out the seeds and discard. Remove the flesh of the honeydew, adding as much as you’d like to the already mixed fruit and reserving the rest for later consumption or an agua fresca. Garnish with binkies. Fill the scraped honeydew with the fruit salad and serve. This would be a super fun recipe for a baby shower, right? So there you have it, two new recipes to try out while watching — or rewatching — the WandaVision season finale! And if we find any other fun recipes, we’ll be sure to let you know!

It’s been nearly a year since Disneyland Resort’s theme parks have been closed due to the pandemic. Sleeping Beauty Castle The parks were supposed to reopen last July, but that date was pushed back and government restrictions kept them from reopening. Today, California released new guidelines for reopening, allowing Disneyland Resort the possibility of reopening on April 1, 2021. Now, Disneyland’s President has shared more information on when they’ll release opening details! In a statement released this evening, Disneyland Resort President Ken Potrock shared that he and the rest of the company are encouraged about these new guidelines for reopening. He said this move is “getting thousands of people back to work and greatly helping neighboring businesses and our entire community.” ©Disney He noted that the parks will reopen with responsible safety protocols that the company has put in place around the world already, and that they “look forward to sharing an opening date soon.” As stated in the guidelines earlier today, the parks will only be able to reopen in the “substantial” tier after April 1st and will operate at 15% capacity, with only California residents allowed to visit (as of now).

In response, Disneyland Resort President Ken Potrock stated that Disneyland would announce a reopening date soon.

Starting on April 1st, California Governor Gavin Newsom’s new “Blueprint Refresh” allows theme parks large and small to reopen when their county has reached the red/substantial tier 2 risk category of COVID-19. However, according to the Orange County Register, the parks will initially only be open to California residents. Disneyland Over the next couple of weeks, updated guidelines will be developed in partnership with the theme parks themselves, and we should receive more details. But for now, you’ll only be able to visit Disneyland upon its reopening if you’re a California resident. Disneyland Gate We’ll keep you posted with the latest as this situation evolves.

We have exciting news regarding when Disneyland will be able to reopen! Disneyland Today, California Governor Gavin Newsom shared updates related to the state’s guidelines in response to the global health crisis. These updated guidelines from the state’s health department will allow California theme parks to reopen on April 1st, as reported by the Orange County Register. Buena Vista Street Beginning on the first of April, theme parks in California will be able to reopen at 15% capacity in the “substantial” tier.
