Transportation is a BIG piece of any Disney World trip, and sometimes that includes getting to and from the airport. ©Brightline Disney recently announced the discontinuation of the Magical Express airport shuttle next year as we get ready for the debut of the train between the airport and Disney Springs the following year. Now, we’re taking a look at just what it might cost to be a passenger on this train and what that means for your vacation! What is the train to Disney World? Brightline, a railway company, is actively constructing a new rail line to bring passengers from the Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach stops that already exist on its Florida line to Orlando, including a stop in Disney Springs. Disney Springs According to announcements thus far from Disney and Brightline, service connecting South Florida to Central Florida is expected to open in 2022 with the Disney Springs station set to begin revenue service in 2023. ©Brightline For Disney visitors, this will mean a rail connection to many South Florida cities and the Orlando International Airport (MCO) — a valuable travel tool with the discontinuation of the Magical Express. Want to learn more about the end of the Magical Express? Click here! How much do current and proposed Brightline train tickets cost? To figure out how much the MCO to Disney Springs route could cost passengers, we’re going to take a look at some of the Brightline ticket prices for existing rail lines and how that translates to the shorter trip. ©Virgin Trains For the one-hour train ride between Miami and West Palm Beach with a stop at Fort Lauderdale at the 30-minute mark, a Brightline ticket will cost you between $17 and $28 depending on your origin point and final destination. If we lean towards the upper end, we can say that the $28 is the price for the approximately 75-mile trip. ©Brightline According to The Next Miami, the trip from Miami to Orlando Airport will take around 3 hours and will cost around $100 per ticket. The price does seem to scale appropriately based on mileage considering Miami to MCO is about three times the mileage of Miami to West Palm Beach and will cost approximately three times as much. To learn more about the new rail line, click here! So, how much will the train between Disney World and the airport cost? Based on that math, we can come up with some idea of how much a base price for the train might be. It is about 18 miles from MCO to Disney Springs. So, if we scale that based on the $28 per 75 miles price, we’re looking at less than $7 per ticket. For reference, a rideshare at time of writing costs approximately $30 to $60 or more from MCO To Disney Springs. ©Brightline On top of that, it is possible that Disney and Brightline will strike a deal. The Magical Express was a free perk for guests staying at Walt Disney World resort hotels. That was a huge deal for many guests, especially those with families of all ages not looking to deal with the hassles of renting a car. Disney hasn’t said anything concerning if they could strike a deal with Brightline to transport guests to and from Walt Disney World, but it’s certainly possible. If Disney were to negotiate a deal, Brightline service could be free for those with a confirmed reservation as an added resort perk. ©Brightline There is also a chance that this line will be in high demand, so it may come at a slight premium. This will be difficult to discern until the line is complete and we know how many trips Brightline is running each day. Right now, they run 51 trips on a regular day. ©Brightline We’ll be sure to keep a close eye on news from Brightline and from Disney about this project. It certainly would be a GREAT perk to have a quick and (possibly) FREE trip train ride from the airport to Disney Springs. Of course, guests will then need to take a bus to their Disney World Resort hotel from Disney Springs. But we know, once on Disney property, Disney does a pretty solid job of getting guests from A to B.

Good morning, friends! We’re coming at you bright and early with a reminder that Advance Dining Reservations are now open for a returning Character Breakfast at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Disney Junior Play n’ Dine Breakfast You and your crew can start the day at the Disney Junior Play n’ Dine Breakfast at Hollywood & Vine Restaurant once again starting March 22nd! Of course, the experience will be different from the previous buffet meal served at this location, so let’s go over the updated offerings! Again, Hollywood & Vine previously served up a buffet breakfast. However, guests will now order from an a la carte menu. ©Disney Groups will start with a shared pastry basket (including caramel monkey bread and mini muffins), then each guest will select their own entrée from items like All-you-care-to-enjoy pancakes, French toast stuffed with chocolate-hazelnut spread, a Toasted open-faced salmon bagel, a Four-egg scramble, a Four-egg cheese omelet, or a Plant-based egg frittata. The price is $42 per adult, plus tax and gratuity and $27 per child (ages 3-9), plus tax and gratuity, And, as we’ve experienced with other Character Meals currently available around Disney World — the character experience will be modified. Fancy Nancy Disney Junior stars like Fancy Nancy, Vampirina, Doc McStuffins, and Roadster Goofy will be greeting guests from a safe distance, and you can read up on how that works from our experiences so far at spots like Chef Mickey’s, Topolino’s Terrace, and EPCOT’s Garden Grill. Goofy And don’t forget! Guests can already enjoy a modified Character Meal at Hollywood & Vine for lunch and dinner, where Minnie’s Seasonal Dine is going strong! The window to make Advance Dining Reservations for Disney World table service restaurants is 60 days out. And as a reminder, this experience reopens on March 22. So, open your My Disney Experience app or the Walt Disney World website or call (407) WDW-DINE to line up your next Disney Junior Play ‘n Dine Breakfast!

It’s been almost one year since Disney World’s water parks closed, but Blizzard Beach is readying to reopen on March 7! Blizzard Beach, 2019 We already know how to buy tickets, the park hours for March, and what the mask requirements will be, and now we know a little bit about what the Blizzard Beach experience will be. Yep, we have FOOD MENUS! And, boy, have there been some CHANGES. Here’s a look at each dining spot and what you can expect. Avalunch Avalunch has traditionally sold hot dogs and they’re getting a new frank on the menu: a Sauerkraut Mustard 1/4 lb. All-Beef Hot Dog! This classic combo joins Bacon Macaroni & Cheese and Chili-Cheese Frito hot dogs. The Sauerkraut Mustard hot dog will be $10.99. Avalunch at Blizzard Beach There’s also a menu SWAP taking place. The Loaded Beef Nachos Served with Beef Chili, Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Guacamole, Sour Cream, and Jalapeño are gone. And they have been replaced with a Nacho 1/4 lb All-Beef Hot Dog! Nachos and a hot dog?! Why not? You can try this Franken-food for $10.99. An Italian Sandwich has also been added. We don’t have details on what will be in this Italian sandwich, but we do know it’ll be served with chips and cost $9.99. ©Disney There’s also a noticeable change in the fountain drinks. The All-Day Refillable Mug used to be for for refills at self-service beverage islands at quick-service spots, but Disney has REMOVED the self-service language, presumably due to new health and safety measures. However, refillable mugs will still be available for $11.99. Refillable Mugs Another big change is that the Kids’ Meals, which are either a Turkey Sandwich for $9.49 or Macaroni & Cheese for $9.19 no longer come with a Sand Pail and Shovel. Dig in! So be sure to bring your own beach toys! Warming Hut If Avalunch is standard theme park fare, you can find some more interesting bites at Warming Hut, another quick service spot. In the past, we’ve spotted edible cookie dough or a a BBQ chip covered Turkey Leg here! Edible Cookie Dough from Warming Hut The cookie dough hasn’t been around for a second, but that chip-crusted turkey leg remains! The Shrimp Louie Wrap is gone, however, and has been replaced with a Chilled Shrimp Salad served with Thousand Island Dressing for $11.49! A Honey Butter Chicken Sandwich With Pickles also joins the lineup, and that will cost $10.49. ©Disney We’re SO excited to slide down some slides, take in the scenery, and of course, EAT while at Blizzard Beach when it reopens. And when it does, you KNOW we’ll be there to let you know how everything is! You Can NOW Buy Tickets for Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park!

It seems like Disney is looking to hire more people across the board today! Space 220 Restaraunt Art Print This morning we saw listings for jobs at Disney World’s upcoming Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, and later we found that Disney Cruise Line is hiring for several positions. Now, we’ve got news from a restaurant we haven’t heard from in quite a while… . EPCOT’s upcoming Space 220 restaurant has been on quite the rollercoaster! After an original opening timeline for late 2019, it was pushed back to 2020, and we still have yet to hear an actual opening date. In late 2019, the restaurant lost its executive chef, but after that we’ve seen several job listings for a Front of House Manager, a Restaurant Manager, and Bartender. Space 220 Concept Art ©Disney Currently the Patina Restaurant Group, who runs Space 220, Via Napoli, and more, is looking for an Executive Pastry Chef! The job listing is on the Patina Restaurant Group website, and lists the responsibilities and qualifications they are looking for for that specific position. We know about this listing thanks to our friend @schreiberjoe on Instagram. Patina Restaurant Group Job Listing Like we said, Space 220 has been looking for employees several of times before, but it has been quite some time since we’ve seen a listing. This doesn’t mean anything at the moment for a grand opening, but it means that the restaurant is still progressing towards an opening date by hiring more people. The listing does say that “in this role, you will contribute to the launch and continued success of Space 220 Restaurant.” Mission: SPACE and Upcoming Space 220 Hopefully someday soon we will FINALLY get an opening date!

Hello, everyone, from Magic Kingdom! Let’s take a trip to Magic Kingdom! We’ve been visiting some of our favorite lands, checking our favorite shops, and seeing what’s new so we can make sure you have the latest updates. So are you ready? Here we go!

We’re Going to Be Celebrating Disney World’s 50th Anniversary in 2023?! Cinderella Castle We previously reported that the moat around Cinderella Castle has been drained. And now we’re starting to see some construction around it. No more moat…at least for now There’s SO much construction and refurbishment going on throughout Disney World right now! The Mystery Cinderella Castle Construction Just Got WAY More Interesting Mad Tea Party One of Disney World’s most classic rides, Mad Tea Party, is also getting in on the construction action — it’s currently closed and being refurbished. Getting all spiffed up According to Disney World’s schedule, this ride will be back up and running on March 5th. Now we know that these projects sometimes get delayed (*cough* PeopleMover), so we’ll keep an eye on it.

If you know us, you know we LOVE a unique Disney World snack, especially those of the international variety. Pizza Potato Chips You can find fun international snacks around EPCOT’s World Showcase, like Ocean Salt Kit Kats or Bubble Tea Mochi, but the one thing we can’t get enough of are fascinatingly flavored potato chips! We’ve tried cucumber chips, spicy crawfish chips, honey butter chips, salty egg and shrimp chips, hotpot chips, Mexican chicken and tomato chips, “white rabbit” chips, and even squid flavored chips at House of Good Fortune in the China Pavilion! And today, we stumbled upon ANOTHER worldly chip flavor we just HAD to try — Coffee Oolong Milk Tea Flavored Lays Chips! Look at that lil cow sipping his tea! PHEW! That name has a lot going on in it! But, well, ya know what you’re getting: chips flavored with coffee, oolong tea, and milk! And, we found that description to be remarkably accurate. This tasted exactly like coffee mixed together with TONS of cream and sugar. It was shocking just how creamy these chips were, considering they’re a crunchy snack, but that milk flavor powered through as well as that signature java taste. Coffee Oolong Milk Tea Chip! Our reporter who sampled the Coffee Oolong Milk Tea Flavored Lays Chips doesn’t really like coffee, but if you like to start your day with a tall cuppa joe, there isn’t much to criticize here. The combo is kind of out there, but it’s a fun experience to try these chips! So many chips! If you want to taste these yourself, you can find them at House of Good Fortune (along with TONS of other unique chips and eats!) for $5.25. And, as your resident Lays tasting experts, when we spot new-to-us crisps, we’ll let you know how they taste! Umm…Disney Is Offering a Big Discount for a Closed EPCOT Restaurant?!

We have a sad, sad story today. EPCOT Don’t worry — it has a happy ending! But boy is it a JOURNEY to get there. Today, we were just walkin’ around EPCOT: getting excited for all the food coming to the Flower and Garden Festival, admiring the new map…ya know, normal stuff. Then, we SAW it. Two Mickey balloons had been abandoned!! They’d been tied to a fence and left for who-knows-what. We found them all alone, swaying gently in the wind, contemplating their very existence. Poor balloons WHO would leave Mickey balloons like this?! Not only are they a whopping $14 apiece, but these balloons now have no purpose! We decided to get closer to investigate. The poor things are clearly clinging onto each other for dear life. There’s a strong “Jack and Rose on the Titanic” vibe here. Except…you know…there’s no sinking frozen boat. More like 30+ bucks worth of helium chillin’ in the Florida sunshine. I guess there are worse fates. At least they have each other! We literally couldn’t process why someone would just ditch their (expensive and probably sentimental) Mickey balloons. Had they served their purpose as Instagram props and were now left to deflate? Had their owners hopped on a ride while these trusty balloons waited loyally outside? We asked our DFB readers on Twitter to help us piece together this tragic mystery. Our absolute favorite response? “A parent got hit in the face as the balloons bounced off the stroller one too many times.” Parents, we FEEL YOU. Been there, done that. We’ve been face-slapped by more Mickey balloons than we’d care to remember. But we’re also devastated for these balloons, who wanted nothing more than to make a family happy (or at least make it in a picture in front of Spaceship Earth). Just look at them staring out at the water together, thinking about the uncertain life they have ahead of them. We tried to be a comforting presence. Eventually, we were forced to leave these unfortunate balloons behind and continue on our way. But good news! When we returned just a little while later (yes, we just HAD to check on them), we noticed they were gone! They’d found a happy home (sorry guys, we didn’t swipe the abandoned balloons but hopefully their owners found them or they’re bringing joy to some lucky kids!). They found a home!! These balloons are abandoned no longer. Whether their original owners came to claim them or someone saw a great opportunity for some free balloons, we’ll never know. This wild ride reminded us of the abandoned Dole Whips we spotted in Magic Kingdom — but that story didn’t have such a happy ending. Cause the mortal enemy of a Dole Whip is heat. (Still pouring one out for our fallen Dole Whips. Never forget!) What do YOU think happened to these balloons?! As always, stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news!

We are all for dressing up ice cream here at DFB. Magic Kingdom Our one true love is Dole Whip, but every once in a while (ok, every time), we go crazy and try all the new soft-serve flavors that pop up around the park. Sometimes it’s a big hit, like the Peter Pan Float, and other times, it’s a complete miss (sorry, 2019 Poor Unfortunate Soul Float). And, today when we were roaming around Magic Kingdom, we noticed that one of our not-so-favorite flavors was still around. So we thought of a way that may make it a little better. Storybook Treats tends to be the place that adventurous soft-serve ends up and that’s exactly where the Cherry Soft-Serve is hanging out right now. The flavor has stuck around since Christmas but it wasn’t on the menu. That is…until today! The location now has menu boards advertising the flavor. Cherry Soft-Serve is BACK! Now, we didn’t love this flavor when it first came out but we’re all for second chances here. So, we decided to give it another try, but this time with coke. That’s right, we made a cherry coke float WITHOUT cherry coke. When we ordered, we asked for a Cherry Soft-Serve float with Diet Coke and they whipped it together for us! We believe in second chances! So, could diet coke save the cherry soft serve from making our “worst snacks in Disney World” list? Kind of! The diet coke took balanced out the cherry medicine flavor from the soft serve and we actually didn’t mind it. But, it wasn’t a cute look when we got a bite of just the cherry — we just can’t get behind it. Cherry Coke Float…meh. If you’re looking to give this a try at Magic Kingdom, you can order the float for $5.49 or a cup of the soft-serve for $4.99. And, you can even try it another way and swirl the flavor with vanilla soft-serve. So many ways to customize your snack! Stay tuned for more Disney food news and updates! REVIEW!

Disney World is the Most Magical Place on Earth, but not everything always goes perfectly. Who else is ready to walk right down the middle of Main Street, U.S.A.? Sometimes rides break down or have to be evacuated. And today we spotted something unusual right on Main Street, U.S.A. in Magic Kingdom — one of the windows on Main Street was actually broken. As we were walking down Main Street, U.S.A. this afternoon we spotted something a bit strange — a broken window. You can see that part of the top window to the right-hand side has broken. There is a hole and several cracks in the window. What happened here? The window is actually part of the three windows dedicated to Roy E. Disney, Walt Disney’s nephew, and his family. The family were avid sailors which is why they are nautically themed. The window in the center has Roy E. Disney’s name while the windows below feature the names of his wife — Patty — and their kids — Roy Patrick, Abigail, Susan, and Timothy. Roy E. Disney and Family Windows The window above Susan and Timothy’s names is the one that has shattered. Broken Window If you’re wondering where this is on Main Street, it’s just above the exit door for Main Street Bakery. Roy E. Disney and Family Windows Cast Members blocked off the area near this broken window while we were there. Blocked Off Area We also saw security go up to the window and then a Cast Member who appeared to be a manager also checked on the window. Roy E. Disney and Family Windows We’re not entirely sure what caused this window to break, but we’ll let you know if we find out more information. We expect the window will be quickly repaired, but we will look for any updates on it and let you know what we see. Click here to see why the Cinderella Castle construction got WAY more interesting!

White Castle might be one of the few upcoming dining locations we’ve been excited about that’s is OUTSIDE Disney World. Yum! ©White Castle The new White Castle location, which is near Disney Springs, was originally announced last year. Since then, we’ve been following the construction progress, just waiting to get our hands on those sweet little baby burgers. You might ask — what’s the big deal? Well, White Castle is a Midwestern staple, and the new location is the ONLY ONE IN FLORIDA. So yeah, we got excited when we found out that a ghost kitchen was recently set up to deliver to the Orlando area (although the delivery area didn’t include Disney World). Delivery! ©White Castle Except that EVERYONE was so excited about White Castle delivery that it’s now no longer available. According to Fox35 Orlando, the ghost kitchen is shutting down — just two days after opening the virtual kitchen. Why? Because demand in the Orlando area was just too overwhelming. THAT many people wanted their White Castle fix. Tiny burger joy ©White Castle According to Whitte Castle,”We are going to pause operations at our virtual kitchen in Orlando until after our full-service restaurant location in the O-Town West development opens.” They are planning to resume delivery come Spring.

So get ready for some updates!

And of course, now we’re wanting to play “spot the hidden Pascal!” PHOTOS: We Found Hidden Pascals in an Unexpected Store in Disney World Once Upon A Time Mickey Mouse Avocado Boxer Shorts are a thing and we have the photo to prove it!

Valentine’s Day is long gone and St. Patrick’s Day lies ahead! Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort That means it’s time to try out some NEW holiday eats and treats! We’ve already spotted the return of one of our FAVORITE Irish-influenced burgers in Disney Springs and now we’re trying a NEW St. Paddy’s Day treat. Just yesterday, we spotted the St. Patrick’s Day Luck O’ the Irish Coffee Panna Cotta on Mobile Order at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. Now, we’re back to give this treat a try to see if it tastes as lucky as it looks. St. Patrick’s Day Luck O’ the Irish Coffee Panna Cotta This layered dessert is made with Dark Chocolate-Coffee Mousse, Vanilla Panna Cotta, and Bailey’s Irish Cream Panna Cotta topped with a Shamrock Cookie. Um…yum! It comes with a paper lid that you peel away to expose the goodness. St. Patrick’s Day Luck O’ the Irish Coffee Panna Cotta We thought the treat was pretty yummy! All of the flavors meshed together and none of them were too overpowering. If you like panna cotta, you will probably like this but keep in mind that panna cotta isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. St. Patrick’s Day Luck O’ the Irish Coffee Panna Cotta The cookie on top was a soft sugar cookie and we thought it was tasty to eat a bite of BOTH the cookie and the panna cotta at the same time. Now, this doesn’t have a SUPER strong Irish Cream flavor so that might be a little disappointing if you’re hoping for that; but we liked how the flavors were all subtle. St. Patrick’s Day Luck O’ the Irish Coffee Panna Cotta If you want to give this treat a try for yourself, head on over to Gasparilla Island Grill at the Grand Floridian and snag one for $5.99. Keep an eye on DFB as we hunt down MORE St. Patrick’s Day treats in the coming weeks! Looking for more Irish Cream treats? Click here!

Disneyland remains closed due to the global pandemic. Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle Downtown Disney and Buena Vista Street are currently open, and Disney California Adventure is planning to reopen for a limited-time ticketed event in March. However, due to California state mandates, Disneyland Resort as a whole remains closed. But we’ve been following the progress of a bill that may allow the parks to reopen sooner than planned. This bill was proposed at the beginning of February, and was later approved by the Anaheim City Council with a vote of 6-1. It would allow theme parks to reopen in the moderate (orange) COVID-19 risk tier rather than the minimal (yellow) risk tier. Currently, some smaller amusement parks in the state can reopen in that moderate risk tier. This bill attempts to make the opening timeline the same for larger theme parks like Disneyland or Universal Studios Hollywood. Disneyland Entrance On Tuesday, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously in support of this bill. Supervisor Kathryn Barger wrote in a letter of support to the bill’s sponsors, “With full outdoor operations and the ability to maintain physical distancing, theme parks across the country have proven that they can safely reopen…By opening our theme parks, we will trigger a ripple effect to our local economy, and in turn, create more jobs.” Disney California Adventure Barger cites that densely populated areas such as Los Angeles would have a difficult time meeting the minimal risk criteria: one daily case of COVID-19 per 100,000 residents, along with a test positivity rate of less than 2%. She adds that larger theme parks have “safely reopened” across the country with no “outbreaks or spread,” demonstrating that California could follow suit.
