As we continue to celebrate Black history and culture throughout Black History Month and beyond, we were jazzed to surprise more than 100 students at local Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida with an immersive screening experience surrounding them in the world of Disney and Pixar’s newest film, ‘Soul,’ courtesy of Disney+. The new animated film invites fans on an unforgettable journey alongside middle-school band teacher Joe Gardner to discover what makes you, well, you!http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/hIzE296t4qs View the full article

Greetings from Disney World’s work-in-progress park! EPCOT We visited EPCOT yesterday to check out all of the latest changes and updates after the end of the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts.

We’re pretty excited for some Chicago-style eats at Portillo’s near Disney World. ©Portillo’s The midwestern chain announced its Orlando location in 2019, and we’ve been getting ready to dig into Italian Vienna beef sandwiches, char-broiled burgers, and Chicago-style Vienna beef hot dogs ever since. Just last month, Portillo’s revealed it would be opening on March 2nd, 2021! But now, that date has been delayed. Portillo’s stated, “We’re finishing up construction of our new restaurant and need to postpone the original opening date of March 2nd. Portillo’s thanks everyone for their patience and will be sure to share a new opening timeframe as soon as possible.” Looks like we’ll have to wait a little longer for our burgers and hot dogs! ©Portillo’s The rock ‘n’ roll-themed diner will be located at the intersection of Palm Parkway and Daryl Carter Blvd. That’s just a short drive from Disney World! We’ll keep you posted when an opening timeline is announced. As always, stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news! Read More About Portillo’s Opening!

Part of Disney World trip planning involves figuring out how you’re going to get there! Cinderella Castle And, depending on where you live, you have to decide whether you’re driving or flying. Many guests might feel that flying is easier and faster, but some airlines in some locations still don’t have direct flights to Orlando. However, if you happen to live in and around the Louisville, KY area, flying to Orlando just got a lot easier and potentially cheaper. According to WDRB, Spirit Airlines will soon begin to offer direct flights from Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport to Orlando, L.A., Las Vegas, and Ft. Lauderdale. Flying to Orlando just got a little easier…and cheaper. One-way tickets will cost around $59 according to a Spirit media relations manager — note that this is just the standard base fare for flights and don’t include extras like checked bags, additional carry-on bags (you’re only allowed one personal item), inflight food and drink, seat selection, and boarding pass fee (yes, if you want a physical boarding pass, it will cost you). Prices also may vary depending on the time of year you choose to travel. Orlando Airport Flights from Louisville to Orlando don’t start until May 27th, but guests can go ahead and visit the Spirit Airlines website to book their flights. As always, we’ll keep you updated on other flights and transportation options to Orlando!

Welcome back, DFB friends! Today we’re back at Disney’s Magic Kingdom with another what’s new! Magic Kingdom And, we’ve got some updates on Cinderella Castle’s renovations and plenty of new merchandise to share with you. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s jump right on in! Magic Kingdom Construction Update Cinderella Castle So many things around Walt Disney World are getting a bit TLC right now. First, it was Rivers of America, and now the moat around Cinderella Castle is COMPLETELY DRAINED! It’s almost like staring at the bottom of our Dole Whip cup after we’ve licked it clean but less delicious. Cinderella Castle Moat Drained We’re not sure what kind of work they’re doing in the area, but it’s definitely something! Check out more photos of the drained moat HERE! And, just like a house project, if you’re going to tackle one thing on the list, why not just start them all?! Last week, mysterious bushes showed up in front of Cinderella Castle doing a poor job at hiding some gray-colored scrim that was added to the stage. Cinderella Castle Construction We knew they were doing some work on the stage. But yesterday, Disney took that work a step further. Cinderella Castle Stage Underway The stage floor has been pulled to reveal some of the plywood that supports all the singing and dancing that goes on. Again, we’re not sure exactly what’s going on here and what Disney’s doing, but it could be in preparation for Cinderella Castle’s glow-up for the Walt Disney World 50th anniversary celebrations. And that’s not all… . Scrim is also up around the train station and Peter Pan’s Flight. Peter Pan’s Flight Scrim Projects are literally popping up all over the place. The Mystery Cinderella Castle Construction Just Got WAY More Interesting Magic Kingdom Merchandise Update Uptown Jewelers We had to take a break from all the investigation work to do some shopping and we spotted something that Cinderella really could have used at the ball — a watch! The Cinderella Watch and Pin Set is out in celebration of 70 years of watching the princess run down the stairs without her glass slipper. While the set’s not new, we had to share it because it’s so stunning. Cinderella Watch and Pin Set The watch face has the horse-drawn carriage with a blue band and the pin is the larger version of the pumpkin-turned-carriage. We think it could make a nice brooch too! This set is pricey though, coming in at $550 which has to be comparable to the cost of a literal glass slipper, right? Emporium Dogs and retro TVs collide on the new 101 Dalmatians mug. We’ve spotted (ha, get it) this mug around other parks, and found it in the Emporium as well! 101 Dalmatians Mug The dalmatian pups are peeping over the TV for some caffeine and also serve as a creative mug handle! Even pups crave some caffeine We get it, we love coffee too! Sir Mickey’s Disney’s new animated movie Raya and the Last Dragon will debut on Disney+ Premiere Access and in theaters next week on March 5th. And, it’s never been Disney’s style to make us wait for souvenirs from a new movie so Raya and her band of misfits have exploded onto the scene at Disney World. Over at Sir Mickey’s, we spotted a lot of the new goodies! ‘Raya and the Last Dragon’ Merchandise There’s a t-shirt, action figures, a Raya plush, and even Raya’s sword. Doesn’t that sword look a lot like a dragon? hmm…. . ‘Raya and the Last Dragon’ Toy Beyond all the new merchandise, Disney has introduced other new experiences themed after the movie over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Disney Dropped a TON of ‘Raya and the Last Dragon’ Merchandise Online Too! And that’s it for what’s new at Magic Kingdom! We hope you enjoyed walking through the park with us and stay tuned for more Disney news and updates! 6 Rules for Taking GREAT Food Photos at Disney World Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

Good news if you’ll be in Disney World this weekend! Who else is ready to walk right down the middle of Main Street, U.S.A.? Park hours in Magic Kingdom and EPCOT have been extended! We just saw Park Passes get refilled, and now hours are getting a little adjustment, too. It’s pretty common for Disney to extend their park hours — especially on weekends. Previously, Magic Kingdom was open from 9AM-8PM on Friday, February 26th, and 9AM-9PM on Saturday the 27th. Now, park hours are 9AM-10PM for both days! Magic Kingdom hours added! Similarly, EPCOT’s previous hours on February 27th were 11AM-8PM. Now, you’ll get an extra hour in the park — it’s open 11AM-9PM! Woohoo! An extra hour!

Last year, we got to enjoy the International Food & Wine Festival at EPCOT, but a few things were different or missing. International Food and Wine Festival One of the biggest things that was missing was the Eat to the Beat Concert series. The concerts were unfortunately canceled for last year’s Festival. Also, other similar events at EPCOT’s festivals — like the Disney on Broadway Concert Series that usually takes place at the International Festival of the Arts — have not taken place since the parks reopened after the COVID-19 closures. The 2021 Food and Wine Festival is still several months away and we really haven’t gotten details about it yet. But, we have found something that might give us a clue about the future of the Eat to the Beat Concerts at this year’s Festival! A huge thank you to our follower Bob Dankese (@monorailbob on Twitter) for sharing this with us! Earlier today, Bob shared with us that it looked like Taylor Dayne is scheduled to perform at the Eat to the Beat concerts later this year. You might recognize Taylor Dayne from songs like “Tell it To My Heart” or “Love Will Lead You Back.” ©Taylor Dayne Well, we took a look at Taylor Dayne’s website and sure enough her website lists 3 tour dates for later this year in EPCOT — October 8th, 9th, and 10th. Her website specifically says that these concerts are set to take place in Walt Disney World (EPCOT) at the America Garden[s] Theatre. That is where Eat to the Beat concerts are typically held and it does fall during the time when the Food and Wine Festival typically takes place in Disney World. Taylor Dayne Tour Dates | ©Taylor Dayne So, it seems like Taylor Dayne’s website is showing that she is at least currently scheduled to perform at this year’s Eat to the Beat concert series. Dayne was scheduled to perform at last year’s Festival as well, but the concerts were later canceled. It is important to note, however, that no concerts have been listed yet for this series by Disney. In fact, the Disney website still lists the Eat to the Beat concert series as “Temporarily Unavailable.” Screenshot from the Disney Site We’re still several months away from the Food & Wine Festival though, so we’ll keep an eye out for more updates and let you know what we find! Coming next to EPCOT is the Flower & Garden Festival! Check out all the details here. Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox! Click here to Subscribe!

We were wondering how Disney would celebrate Disney California Adventure’s 20th anniversary. And, it turns out, they’re going all out in true Disney style and inviting guests BACK into the Disney Park in a new way. ©Disney Beginning March 18th, 2021, the park will reopen to guests for a ticketed event — A Touch of Disney! During the event, you’ll be able to reunite with some of your favorite Disney snacks like Dole Whip, churros, and even the Monte Cristo Sandwich. On top of that, there will be NEW merchandise, a NEW soundtrack, AND some opportunities to say hi to a few Disney characters you’ve missed! Before we get caught up in talking about all the food and dining, let’s talk about exactly WHO you can meet when you’re BACK at Disneyland. You’ll be able to wave at Mickey Mouse and tell him about everything you’ve been up to over the past year… Mickey Mouse …catch up with Lightning McQueen and Mater… ©Disney …and meet Joy and Sadness! We can’t help but giggle here…isn’t this EXACTLY how we’re going to feel at this ticketed event? JOYful to be back in the parks and then SADNESS when we have to leave? How fitting, Disney. At least these two will be there to empathize. ©Disney Disney World has reintroduced characters to the parks with opportunities to say hi from afar and we’re guessing that will be the approach that Disney California Adventure takes for the event. We’re keeping track of all the Disney event updates so stay tuned to DFB!

Your go-to Disney World outfit might include comfy shoes a Disney-themed shirt, a pair of ears, and some shorts. But, for other guests, a Disney outfit involves SO much more. Animal Kingdom We’ve seen some pretty awesome Disney looks, especially during things like Dapper Day. But, today we spotted some of the most AWESOME guest outfits in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Let’s just say this group knew that adventure is out there. You know what they say about the wilderness, right? It MUST be explored! Well, you can do just that and even become an official Wilderness Explorer if you participate in the Wilderness Explorers interactive adventure around Animal Kingdom. In this activity, you pick up a handbook and participate in activities around the park to earn your badges and learn important wilderness skills. Wilderness Explorers But why participate in this activity in an ordinary park outfit, when you can go the extra mile and REALLY look the part?! That’s exactly what this group did today and we are HERE for it! We spotted this group of guests participating in a Wilderness Explorers activity today in Animal Kingdom dressed in (appropriately) Wilderness Explorers outfits similar to the one that Russell wears in the Pixar movie Up. One of them even has a Wilderness Explorers flag on their backpack!! The dedication is real folks, and we love it. Wait, Why Are These Like the Cutest Outfits Ever? They even have the badge sash, kerchief, and hats. Seriously, these are some of the cutest Disney outfits we’ve seen. Major props to the dedication it took to assemble these outfits and wear them around the park. It totally brought a smile to our face to see this fun look and we hope it brings a smile to yours too! We Absolutely Love This Look We’ll keep an eye out for more cool Disney looks or cute things we find throughout the park and share them here with you. Be sure to check back with us for all kinds of Disney fun. Is this Disney shirt creepy or cute? You tell us. Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure have both been closed since March of last year, and they’re both expected to be closed at least for a little while longer. Balloons by Carthay Circle on Buena Vista Street Last year, however, Downtown Disney did reopen at Disneyland Resort. And later, Buena Vista Street in California Adventure reopened as an extension of Downtown Disney. But, soon guests won’t be able to stroll through Buena Vista Street…at least not for free. When Buena Vista Street at Disney California Adventure Park reopened last year, it reopened as an “extension of Downtown Disney.” That meant that guests could walk around this area essentially for free — without having to pay any admission fee for California Adventure or anything like that. Churro Cart! But, soon that will all be changing. Recently, Disney announced that a new ticketed food even INSIDE of California Adventure would be coming soon. Today we got some BIG details about that special ticketed event, which is called “A Touch of Disney.” During the event, you’ll get the chance to explore the park, shop, eat some of your favorite park treats, and more. Guests will even get the chance to enjoy some tasty treats at Lamplight Lounge again. Pixar Pier in Disney California Adventure A Touch of Disney will start on March 18th, 2021. But, because this event will take place in and essentially be taking over Disney California Adventure Park, Buena Vista Street will soon be closing as an extension of Downtown Disney. Specifically, Buena Vista Street will stay open as an extension of Downtown Disney through March 14th. It will then be closed starting March 15th. But, beginning March 18th, Buena Vista Street will become part of A Touch of Disney and will be open to guests who buy a ticket for the special event. Storytellers Statue So, if you want to visit Buena Vista Street before it closes to eventually become part of the ticketed event, be sure to do so within the next few weeks. We’ll keep an eye out for more details about A Touch of Disney and share them all with you. Click here to learn all about the new ticketed event coming to California Adventure.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom is just so full of surprises! It’s so beautiful! Not only do animals here often surprise us with their antics, but we’ve recently noticed some LATE Valentine’s Day snacks, a literal glow-up for the sidewalks of Pandora, and an amazing sand sculpture dedicated to Raya and the Last Dragon. But today’s trip to Animal Kingdom surprised us with a WHO, rather than a what! Because we were just walking into DinoLand U.S.A., minding our own business, when a certain familiar dog appeared on the bridge above us. Pluto! What are you doing here? Wait…is that…Pluto? This caught us by surprise because we usually only see Pluto on the flotillas during the character cavalcades with Mickey and Minnie. Mickey, Minnie, and Pluto! But we guess he got bored just floating down the river and decided to go hang out with the guests instead! Hey, Pluto! Seeing Pluto from a distance in a new spot at Animal Kingdom totally made our day! So we hope seeing some photos of him makes your day, too.

Avengers: ASSEMBLE! If you’re a BIG Marvel fan, then you are definitely going to want to visit Avengers Campus when it opens this year at Disney California Adventure Park. Avengers: Assemble! ©Disney We’ve been keeping a close eye on all of the construction going on with this new area, checking out some hero-worthy merchandise, and we’ve even gotten a behind-the-scenes look at one of the area’s upcoming rides. But last night there was something NEW spotted in Avengers Campus and it has our spidey senses tingling. Last year, we got the chance to check out the Spider-Bot — the new interactive remote control bot that’s been created specifically for Avengers Campus. The Spider-Bot toys can do a whole bunch of awesome things like do a 360 spin and battle other bots. Would You Get One of These Spider-Bot Toys? And in the Avengers Campus world, they play a big role. As part of the NEW WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure ride, you’ll get a presentation from Peter Parker about some of the new inventions from him and the rest of the WEB (Worldwide Engineering Brigade) Tech team, including their Spider-Bots. But when “Peter’s demonstration goes awry, the Spider-Bots are stuck in a replication loop, creating even more Spider-Bots!” It’ll be up to you to sling those webs and help Spider-Man beat those bots. A Peek at the WEB Slingers Ride! | ©Disney via IAAPA Expo 2020 Presentation But, it looks like the Spider Bots won’t just be in toy form or inside the WEB Slingers ride. Last night, Discover the Magic spotted a Spider-Bot and some webs stuck to a light pole in Avengers Campus! ©Discover the Magic (via Twitter @discoverthemagic) The Spider-Bot would cycle through trying to enter its self-destruct mode and then short out about every 5 minutes. You can see it in action in the video below! We can’t wait to see what other little details like this appear throughout Avengers Campus.

Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Pandora is just so breathtaking! And, we’ve got plenty of updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Merchandise Update Riverside Depot We’ve seen plenty of shoulder plushes around Disney World with characters like Forky, Baby Yoda, Porgs, and Figment serving as the best park-hopping pals! But, we may have just found the cutest one yet: there’s now an ORANGE BIRD Shoulder Plush too! Orange Bird Shoulder Plush He is super sweet with his green stem on top of his head and leaf wings to fly around Disney’s Animal Kingdom. And, he can tag along wherever you go in the park when you attach him to the magnet that slips underneath your shirt. How he works! He might not be online just yet like the other shoulder plushes for $19.99, but we’ll keep a lookout for him soon! Take a look at all the details of the Orange Bird Shoulder Plush! There were also a TON of new pins released on the shelves for guests to take home with them! We’ve got several Raya and the Last Dragon pins, including one featuring all the characters for $15.99… ‘Raya and the Last Dragon’ Pin …a Susi the dragon pin for $17.99… ‘Raya and the Last Dragon’ Pin …and a GIANT Raya and the Last Dragon pin for $59.99. ‘Raya and the Last Dragon’ Pin There’s also some pins for classic movies like Dumbo for $19.99… ‘Dumbo’ Pin …The Little Mermaid for $19.99… ‘The Little Mermaid’ Pin …and Beauty and the Beast for $19.99. Gaston’s lookin’ pretty buff as always there! Gaston Pin Lastly, we spotted a cool Windows of Main Street, U.S.A. pin! Windows of Main Street, U.S.A. Pin Open the pin and you’ll see Madame Leota inside! This pin is also $19.99. Plus, keep in mind that all the pins we just showed you are Limited Edition. Windows of Main Street, U.S.A. Pin While we were at the Riverside Depot, we also noticed that there was a new Up Phone Case. We’ve already seen this “Wild and Free” design on other merchandise, but it’s the first time that we’ve seen it on a phone case! Hey there, Kevin! This case is $29.99. Chester & Hester’s If you can’t resist more accessories, Chester and Hester’s is carrying keychains that are perfect for your backpack or set of keys! There’s one shaped like a key, accented with Minnie Mouse’s ears, for $12.99. Minnie KEYchain! We also found a pretty useful keychain hangin’ around on the shelves. The Mickey Glove Keychain has a rubber tip and packs a lot of weight. We figured it could be used to open doors… Mickey Glove Keychain …type on a phone as a stylus… We give up — we’re confused. …or touch keypads, all hands-free! Pretty handy, right?! You can also grab this keychain for $12.99. Read about the Mickey Glove Keychain here! Asia Market in Yak & Yeti We also spotted some straw hats in the Asia Market in Yak & Yeti! The regular Straw Hat is $22, and you can pick from a variety of colors on the brim… Straw Hats! …while there’s also a glowing version to light up the night for $36! Look at those lights! Underneath the rim, there’s some LED lights — how fun! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Additional Update Pandora On a busy day in Disney World, it isn’t too much of a surprise to see long wait times throughout the park, especially in a popular spot like Pandora. But we were confused when we saw the Na’vi River Journey line starting in Pandora, going across the Discovery Island bridge, and then ending up back inside Pandora. Was this a new distancing effort? Were more pheasants blocking the walkways? Look at that line! Well, it turns out that the 60-minute wait at the attraction was a little more simple than that. After we noticed that the ends of both the Na’vi River Journey and the Flight of Passage line were in the same area… Two lines at once! …we realized that Disney was working on additional bioluminescent painting for an extra POP in the park. The construction area was in the way of the Na’vi River Journey’s regular pathway as fences surrounded the refurbishment zone. Check out that glow-up! We can’t wait to come back at night and see the glow-up in action for ourselves! Check out the details of the LONG Na’vi River Journey line here!
