EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts serves up some pretty gorgeous dishes. EPCOT International Festival of the Arts So gorgeous, that we give each one a special photoshoot before we dive into the almost-to-pretty-to-eat foods and drinks. And, over at The Painted Panda booth, the Sea Butterfly has become a regular visitor to the festival. We get it — it’s STUNNING! But, what if we could make it even MORE pretty? We try a lot of things when we attempt to hack a Disney snack and for this one, we’re calling on science. Now, here at DFB, we aren’t science majors, but we do know a thing or two about food. And, one of the coolest bits of food facts is that butterfly pea powder can turn from purple to pink with some sciency tricks. Without getting too technical, the PH balance in the powder is very sensitive, and adding something acidic, like lemon or lime juice can change the color of the drink from blue to purple to bright pink. Do you see where we’re going here? The Sea Butterfly is a Butterfly Pea Flower infused Cocktail with Lychee Syrup, Vodka, Light Rum, and Magic Boba Pearls. So…theoretically…we should be able to work some color-changing magic, right? Sea Butterfly At least that’s what started it all in the DFB text thread… . Here’s a bit of a behind-the-scenes look at our text thread! Now, THIS is why we hired you! We really wanted to see if this cool trick would work so we went on the hunt for a lime in EPCOT. Yes, we asked many Cast Members for a lime, and no, we’re not ashamed of it. Thanks to some quick thinking on our team, our first stop was the Mexico Pavilion. Good thinking! After all, it’s MEXICO, they put lime in beer, right? APPARENTLY NOT. Mexico had no limes. Then ensued the National Treasure-like hunt to make a pink drink with something acidic. Mexico Pavilion Our head honcho, AJ, was thinking quick on her feet — what about Lemonade? Well…it just wouldn’t be as pretty as it could be. AJ to the rescue! …but she was quickly shut down Surely, the BOOTH named Citrus Blossom will have something. Nope. The Citrus Blossom So, our first attempt failed. But, here at DFB, we don’t give up on a good idea especially when it comes to Disney snacks. So, the next time we packed our bags for Disney, we packed limes. Nothing like some BYOL (bring your own lime) — it’s basically a party trick! Time to BYOL If 2021 is the year Disney security bans citrus it’s probably because of us. But we don’t care, because we FINALLY got the goods to the China Pavilion to give this hack a try. Sea Butterfly We raced past the Mexico Pavilion (scolding it a little for what it made us do) and ordered up one Sea Butterfly with the confidence of an 8th grader. And, it failed. Epically. Maybe the color lightened? But if it did it was ever so slight. The Butterfly Pea Powder in this EPCOT Festival of the Arts staple doesn’t seem to care about a bit of lime. BUMMER. This experiment may have failed, but we’re still trying every hack we can think of with Disney snacks so stay tuned to DFB for the latest!

Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at EPCOT! France Pavilion And, we’ve got plenty of updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in! EPCOT Merchandise Update Mouse Gear We didn’t spot any new merchandise in Mouse Gear, BUT the shop had rearranged its item around the shop for a fresh layout! Mouse Gear Merchandise We noticed that the pins… Mouse Gear Merchandise …plushes… Mouse Gear Merchandise …and Wishables had been moved to new locations with more room for guests to go shopping. Mouse Gear Merchandise Who else is ready for their next Disney shopping trip in EPCOT? EPCOT Entertainment Update Festival of the Arts We’ve been blown away by all the incredible chalk art masterpieces we’ve seen lining the sidewalks at this year’s EPCOT Festival of the Arts! We’ve seen some amazing pieces inspired by Coco, Frozen, and others, but the Mary Poppins Chalk Art might be our favorite yet! Don’t fall off the bridge! Chalk artist Nate Baranowski was working on the wonderfully detailed 3D piece that featured the dancing penguins straight out of the film. It’s a Jolly Holiday! Guests are able to take two different photo ops on the chalk art by either joining the penguins in a jolly ole’ dance when you stand on the designated footprints, OR they can balance on the top of the bridge overlooking the pond! Hmmmm…which photo op do we want? It’s the last day of the Festival of the Arts, though, so you’ll want to hurry over to EPCOT to see the chalk art in person before it’s gone! Take a look at all Mary Poppins chalk art details! Leave a Legacy Display Amidst all the construction in EPCOT, we were so sad to see the Leave a Legacy panels disappear in the park. Now that the entryway has seen some major changes with the new fountain and pylons, the Leave a Legacy display has been re-installed with a gorgeous rainbow color scheme! Leave a Legacy Display We’ve seen more displays added around the entrance each time we’ve returned to the park, and now there was an extra wall near the EPCOT’s bus stop! Leave a Legacy Display Guests can now view photos on panels 401 through 452 by using the QR code and numbers listed on the displays so they can spot their own pictures during their next visit. Leave a Legacy Display Well, that’s all for this What’s New at EPCOT! We’ll catch you next time for more updates.

Are you as pumped about Disney’s upcoming movie, Raya and the Last Dragon, as we are?! Raya and the Last Dragon ©Disney The brand-new animated film releases in theaters on March 5th and Disney+ subscribers can watch it with Premier Access on the same day. In honor of the special occasion, we’ve spotted a lot of new themed celebrations in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, including snacks, a sand sculpture, and new options at the Animation Experience! Let’s try out one of those fun new treats! One of the new snacks that you’ll discover can be found at the Anandapur Ice Cream Truck in the Asia section of the park. You can’t miss this location — it’s bold and incredibly colorful! The Anandapur Ice Cream Bus! Say hello to the Mighty Mist Soft-Serve Ice Cream! It’s made with strawberry and vanilla ice cream swirled together in a cone. The cone is dipped in blue-colored white chocolate and rolled in sparkling sugar to give it a more “magical” look. We’re always down for a new ice cream cone! You can pick up this cone for $5.49 before tax, and the looks on this thing do not disappoint! We really like this color scheme, and that aqua-colored ice cream looks surprisingly appetizing. However, we did find the white chocolate-covered cone to be really messy! This thing is so colorful! As far as tastes go, this one is pretty straightforward. The strawberry flavor is more prominent than the vanilla, but they go really well together. If you’ve had the strawberry or vanilla ice cream from this truck before, then this is just a prettier version of that. That blue ice cream looks surprisingly delicious… Of the Raya and the Last Dragon treats we’ve had so far, we liked the Tuk Tuk Sundae better than this cone. However, since the Tuk Tuk Sundae has chai flavors, kids and picky eaters are more likely to enjoy this Mighty Mist Soft-Serve instead. Eat this one fast before it melts There’s nothing truly wrong with this treat and if you really want soft-serve ice cream, then it’s a fun and unique option. However, we’re not going to tell you that you need to rush over and try this right away. Pick up some napkins for that blue cone! And if your kids are begging for it (we get it, this thing is mega cute) then have the wet wipes ready. It’s adorable. But we weren’t lyin’ when we said it was messy. Even WE couldn’t stay clean while snacking on this cone. We’ll make sure to keep our readers updated on the latest new snacks in Disney World and all the special celebrations for Raya and the Last Dragon.

Cinderella Castle Stage We’ll keep you posted as we learn more! Take a Closer Look at Scrim On Cinderella Castle Stage! Right next door, the moat is still being drained. We noticed low water levels a few days ago, and those levels are continuing to drop. Cinderella Castle Moat Some birds were having a grand ol’ time in the shallow water!

Box Office Gifts And in Box Office Gifts, we spotted something totally unexpected: a Splash Mountain pin! If you’re a fan of the briar patch, you may know these have been HARD to come across lately. On this pin, Br’er Fox and Br’er Bear plummet 50 feet! Splash Mountain Pin!! We’re not sure how long this pin will stick around before it sells out. You may want to hurry if you have your eye on it! Uptown Jewelers Lastly, we found some Cinderella Pandora jewelry in Uptown Jewelers. There’s a Pumpkin Carriage Charm for $100… A little pumpkin carriage bling …a Gus Gus charm for $65… Gus Gus Charm …a Jaq AND Gus Gus charm (also $65)… Cinderella’s little mice buddies …and some more bright bling!

Psst…Hhey, you. We’ve got a secret for you. Dino-Bite Snacks There is a TOP SECRET new treat in Disney World. We’re talking IYKYK and if you don’t know, well tough luck. The good news is we’re here to get you IN the know! The bad news? Only some folks can snag this tasty sweet. Those special folks just so happen to be Disney World Annual Passholders! That’s right, there’s a new Annual Passholder-exclusive treat in Disney World and we wanna show it to you. It’s the Passholder Cookie! Passholder Cookie This treat is available in Animal Kingdom but you have to know to ask for it to be able to get it. Currently, there’s no signage, so you’ll head on over to Dino-Bite Snacks to ask. Then Cast Members will ask for you to show your Passholder card and ID and you’ll get your special cookie! We have had a hard time finding most of the new AP offerings today, but since these are just starting, we’re hoping more signage will arrive soon. Passholder Cookie So, what is it? It’s a pretty classic Disney sugar cookie with yummy sprinkles. These sugar cookies are pretty standard around the parks, and they sometimes get a seasonal makeover for things like Halloween. But the little AP Donald emblem is new. And while it’s cute…we weren’t fans of the papery fondant on top of the Passholder emblem. Passholder Cookie Blech. If you’re a fondant fan, you might like this! If not, pull that baby off and enjoy a sprinkle-covered, fondant-free cookie. Passholder Cookie You can find this treat at Dino-Bite Snacks in Dinoland U.S.A. for $4.04 after tax. As always, stay tuned to DFB for all the latest snacks and Passholder perks!

Construction has been happening left and right in Disney World with scrims up at Peter Pan’s Flight and waterways being drained (and then refilled less than 24 hours later). Peter Pan’s Flight Scrim And, now another popular Magic Kingdom attraction has closed to conduct routine maintenance and refurbishment through the beginning of March! The Mad Tea Party in Magic Kingdom’s Fantasyland is pausing its teacups as it closes today for a temporary amount of time. No spinning temporarily If you’re a fan of puke-inducing rides, we’re sorry to disappoint you. You won’t be able to spend 90 seconds spinning round and round in ginormous teacups if you’re visiting in the next few weeks. But, Mad Hatter made sure to leave a note because the party isn’t over — we’ll party again soon! All good parties end with your head spinning, right? Disney World’s website noted the refurbishment on its calendar with the official start date listed for today, February 22nd… Disney Screenshot …with the attraction expected to open on March 5th, hopefully. But, there has been plenty of refurbishment extensions recently as we wait for PeopleMover to reopen too. So, we’ll have to keep you updated on if the Mad Tea Party’s refurbishment runs as expected! Disney Screenshot We’ll be sure to give you a look at all the other construction happening around the parks before your next Disney vacation. Stay tuned with DFB for more details!

If you’ve visited EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts, you’ve probably walked past the chalk artists there and seen some of their INCREDIBLE works! WOW! That is Some Incredible Chalk Art You may have thought to yourself, “boy, I wish I could learn how to do that” or even been inspired to buy your own set of chalk. Well, now you can learn just how to make an amazing piece of chalk art from the very artist that made the two pieces in the photo above! Leigh Alfredson is a professional street art painter and instructor. This year, you could actually see Leigh’s pieces of art at the Festival of the Arts and see her in action there as she makes her creations. A few weeks ago, Leigh actually created the Minnie Lisa drawing you see below. It had been a little bit affected by the elements by the time we saw it, but it was still amazing. On Instagram, Leigh shares that this was a “quick 3 hour drawing.” WOW! Minnie Lisa Today might be the last day of the Festival of the Arts, but the chalk art fun doesn’t have to end just yet. If you want to learn how to chalk on the pavement like Leigh, she can teach you! Leigh actually teaches others how to create amazing chalk creations in person (if you’re in the Central Florida area) or online via Zoom (no matter where you are). ©Leigh Alfredson (@thechalkteacher on Instagram) To schedule your lessons, you can message Leigh on Instagram or email her at thechalkteacher@gmail.com. Classes start on March 1st. Interested in learning more than just chalk art? Leigh also teaches other art forms like drawing, sculpture, and painting. You can message her or email her for more information. Again, classes start on March 1st. ©Leigh Alfredson (@thechalkteacher on Instagram) Check out Leigh’s Instagram page for more information and to see TONS of photos of her awesome creations from the Festival of the Arts, like this Goofy… Goofy Chalk Art …and this beautiful Beauty and the Beast piece. Tale as Old as Time Leigh will be chalking at the Festival today during its last day. But, once the Festival is over, adults, teens, tweens, and little kiddos alike can all learn how to create some amazing chalk art drawings of their own with Leigh’s lessons.

Many of us are missing Baby Yoda making a weekly appearance on our screen, and now a new Disney baby is making its way to the big screen. Dino-Bite Snacks Raya and the Last Dragon will debut in theaters and on Disney+ Premiere Access soon (on March 5th, 2021) and Disney is making all the preparations! Unlike the Baby Yoda merchandise debacle, Raya’s adorable side-kick Tuk Tuk is already taking over Disney World. And, we’re pretty okay with a Baby Tuk Tuk invasion. Now at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, you can draw Tuk Tuk, admire Tuk Tuk, and even EAT Tuk Tuk! And there’s ANOTHER snack in honor of the little guy at the parks. The Baby Tuk Tuk Ice Cream Sundae is available at Dino Bite Snacks and is described as a “yummy sundae built for speed.” In the smaller-than-we’d-like sized cup, the sundae is made with chai spiced caramel cake, chai caramel sauce, vanilla ice cream, green tea cake crumbs, salted caramel crispy pearls, and an edible image of Baby Tuk Tuk. Baby Tuk Tuk Ice Cream Sundae The treat tastes almost as unusual as our sudden love for this tiny creature! It’s definitely not your traditional Disney sundae but chai and matcha fans can come together for this journey of the taste buds. The flavor of the chai cake is more of a slow burner — you won’t really taste it much until you’re a few bites in. And, the caramel flavor is about the same…kinda there, but not really. Now admire the ice cream There’s just a lot going on in this little sundae. We thought that the matcha was an odd choice with all the other flavors going on in the treat, and would have preferred if the chai was the star of the show. Plus, the matcha gives the dessert a weird moss-y color that makes you wonder if you should really be eating the little guy’s natural habitat. Moss or matcha, you decide All in all, we didn’t love it but we didn’t hate it. If you’re looking for something other than the traditional Disney ice cream snack, this would be a great choice! But if you hear matcha and immediately flare your nostrils, this one would be a no-go. For all you matcha and chai fans out there (or those who just want to get their hands on more Baby Tuk Tuk), you can grab the Baby Tuk Tuk Ice Cream for $6.99 at Dino Bite Snacks in Animal Kingdom.

Animal Kingdom is a pretty great place to take in the sights, spot some animals, and try some eats. Tree of Life But it’s also a great place to look for some Disney MERCH! We’re suckers for a Disney mug. Trust us, you do NOT want to go in the mug cabinet in my kitchen; it’s an overflowing nightmare. But, our habits certainly don’t die easy, so we’re tempted again with a SUPER fun mug that just arrived in Disney World! We were checking out the latest in Animal Kingdom when we spotted a familiar muggy face for the first time in Disney World. It’s the Marshmallow Mug! This Frozen-inspired vessel graced the shelves in Disneyland already and now it’s here too! Marshmallow Mug You can bet that this mug features the smiling (and somewhat scary) visage of Elsa’s Marshmallow with his Snowgies joining together to make the handle. What cutie-pies! Marshmallow Mug Now, this mug is BIG. It’s certainly gonna take up some prime real estate in any mug cabinet. On the other hand, think of all the coffee you could fit in this baby. We’re just sayin’, this is def in soup mug territory. Marshmallow Mug We spotted the Marshmallow Mug at Discover Trading Co. in Animal Kingdom for $19.99 and we’ve seen him in Disneyland’s Downtown Disney too!

It’s almost March, which means St. Patrick’s Day is getting close! Disney Springs We’ve already heard about some fun events going down in Disney Springs, and we’ve even seen some St. Patrick’s Day merchandise! And now, some seasonal snacks from D-Luxe Burger have made a return. First of all, we’re welcoming back the Dubliner Burger for $13.49. We LOVED this one last year. It features a Signature-blend beef patty with Dubliner cheddar, corned beef, shoestring fried onions, Irish Stout Barbecue Sauce, lettuce, and grilled onions on top. Dubliner Burger We were BIG fans of this sweet-and-salty combo. The caramelized onions were also full of flavor! Dubliner Burger The Irish Creme Gelato Shake is also back on the menu! It’s $7.50 and was full of that Irish Creme taste last year. Plus, the toasted marshmallow notes were perfectly subtle. Irish Creme Gelato Shake If you’re in Disney Springs, you may want to swing by D-Luxe Burger to grab these seasonal snacks! Just a heads up: we spotted them on the My Disney Experience app, so they may not be on the actual menu just yet. But they’re on their way! As always, stay tuned to DFB. We’ll keep an eye out for more St. Patrick’s Day celebrations and other Disney news. Check Out Our Full Review of These Snacks!

It’s a good day to be an Annual Passholder in Disney World! Restaurantosaurus Today, Disney kicked off some fun Passholder exclusives in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! These weekday perks include free magnets, special deals, exclusive merchandise, and more. We’d also heard that there were 4 exclusive new drinks, so of course, we headed over to Restaurantosaurus Lounge to try them for ourselves. Restaurantosaurus Lounge has served secret drinks before, but here’s the catch: these 4 new drinks are Passholder exclusive! We had to present our Annual Pass and ID to purchase. Your four options are the Tyrannosaurus Wreck, Fossil Fuel, Pterodactyl Punch, and Triceraberry Pop (which is non-alcoholic). We picked the Tyrannosaurus Wreck and Fossil Fuel for tasting! Tyrannosaurus Wreck and Fossil Fuel Let’s start with the Tyrannosaurus Wreck. This drink has Blue Curacao, Creme de Cassis, Diplomatico Rum, Tito’s Vodka, Hendrick’s Gin, Sweet & Sour, and a splash of Sprite. Phew! That’s a LOT in this berry-purple sip. Tyrannosaurus Wreck This drink is pretty boozy! We will say that there’s strong black currant and gin flavors, so if you’re not into that, this may not be the drink for you. But we enjoyed that this one wasn’t too sweet — it had a bite to it for sure! Tyrannosaurus Wreck Okay, let’s move on to the Fossil Fuel. We’ve got Midori, Tito’s Vodka, Sweet & Sour, and lime juice in this one. We’re loving that bright neon green color! Fossil Fuel This one didn’t taste quite as strong. The Midori combined with the lime made it tart, but it was still a little sweeter than the Tyrannosaurus Wreck. Fossil Fuel At $12 apiece, you’ll get a lot of bang for your buck with these drinks! They were both boozy, but held onto their own unique flavors. We’ll keep trying all the secret drinks about Disney World and let you know what we think.

People have been required to wear masks in Disney World and at other places all around the United States for several months now. Together Again Face Mask Some might be wondering how long people will be expected to wear masks in the United States. And now we’ve got an idea of how long masks may be sticking around according to one expert. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Chief medical advisor for COVID-19 for President Biden has previously said that he believes that hopefully by the time we get to July, there will be enough vaccinates for virtually everyone. He has also shared that if about 85% of the US population is vaccinated by the end of the summer, we could be approaching a degree of normalcy in the US by the end of the fall. Pandora Face Masks Despite this, according to the New York Times, Dr. Fauci has indicated that Americans may still be wearing masks outside of their own homes a year from now. That would mean that people in the US might still need to wear face masks in 2022. This past Sunday, Dr. Fauci appeared on the CNN program State of the Union. On that program, he spoke about the number of cases nationally that would make him feel comfortable to stop recommending universal masking. In reference to that, Dr. Fauci said “I want it to keep going down to a baseline that’s so low there is virtually no threat.” Face Masks Dr. Fauci also said “If you combine getting most of the people in the country vaccinated with getting the level of virus in the community very, very low, then I believe you’re going to be able to say, for the most part, we don’t necessarily have to wear masks.” In terms of when vaccines could get to some school-age children, Dr. Fauci shared that he hopes high school students would be eligible for vaccination in the fall. But, Dr. Fauci said that vaccinations for younger children likely won’t be available before the beginning of the first quarter of 2022. Face Masks On the CNN program, Dr. Fauci also talked about the COVID-19 variant identified in South Africa. In clinical trials involving the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine, patients who were vaccinated were not protected from mild to moderate illness caused by the South African variant. Dr. Fauci noted that the variant is still rare in the US, but if it becomes more dominant, we may need a version of the vaccinate that’s “effective specifically against” it. DFB Alien TOUR Tee and Face Mask President Biden has already signed an executive order requiring masks to currently be worn in airports, commercial aircraft, and other forms of public transportation. We’ve also seen that the CDC will require face masks on cruises and other transportation. Face Mask Notice In terms of masking at Disney World, masks continue to be required, even for those who have already received the COVID-19 vaccine. Disney’s CEO Bob Chapek has indicated that masks are expected to be required in Disney World through 2021. When it comes to 2022, Chapek noted that he doesn’t expect Disney to be at the same level of social distancing and mask-wearing then. But, of course, all of this is subject to change depending on the developing situation with the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccinations.

We’re getting excited for the March 5th release of Raya and the Last Dragon! Animal Kingdom It seems like the Disney parks are getting in the Raya spirit, too! We’ve seen an ENORMOUS sand sculpture (we’re talking 40 tons of sand, people) and some new merchandise. But now, Disney’s celebrating the release with what we do best here at DFB: food. We found the new Baby Tuk Tuk Mousse at Isle of Java at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! This little guy is a five-spice mousse atop a chocolate cake, with a chocolate velvet shell, and crispy chocolate pearls. That’s a LOT of chocolate! There’s also an animated Tuk Tuk face on the front. Baby Tuk Tuk Mousse When we got tasting, we found out this treat is true to its description. It’s got a nice, chocolate-y spice to it. Think more cocoa and less heat. The cake itself is your everyday, tasty chocolate cake. It looks like it would have a fudge texture, but it actually doesn’t! Okay, let’s talk mousse. There’s a LOT of it! It’s also a lot heavier than we expected. If you’re not a mousse fan, you may want to stay away from this one. That heavy taste might also be a bit much for kids.

More details emerged about changes for Epcot’s Spaceship Earth in an Instagram post by an Imagineer. They're tied to Disney World's 50th anniversary this year. View the full article By DEWAYNE BEVIL ORLANDO SENTINEL | FEB 22, 2021 AT 10:10 AM As part of the celebration for Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary, Epcot's Spaceship Earth and other theme-park icons will come to life with new nighttime glows. User Upload Caption: As part of “The World’s Most Magical Celebration,” icons at each Walt Disney World theme park will transform into magnificent Beacons of Magic at night, coming to life with their own during the resort's 50th anniversary celebration. At Epcot, new lights will shine across the reflective panels of Spaceship Earth, connecting to one another in a symbol of optimism resembling stars in a nighttime sky. The iconic structure’s permanent new lighting will continue beyond “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” as a defining feature of the park. - Original Credit: Walt Disney Co. - Original Source: DISNEY/HANDOUT (Walt Disney Co. / Courtesy photo) More details have emerged about changes to Epcot’s Spaceship Earth, thanks to an Instagram post by Imagineer Zach Riddley. They enhance Friday’s announcement regarding the celebrations tied to Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary this year. “Spaceship Earth is a unique structure recognized around the world,” Riddley writes. “To honor this idea, our Imagineers have created custom lighting features that literally emerge from her unique architecture. These features will shine across Spaceship Earth’s silver panels and ‘connect’ with one another, resembling shimmering stars in a nighttime sky.” The round building’s multicolor lighting design will be “maintained and accentuated through new colors and intensity in programmed expressions that extended into the new main entrance fountain and the entire World Celebration area that continues to take shape before our eyes,” Riddley says. “World Celebration” is the designation for the central part of Epcot’s current Future World. The ongoing transformation of the theme park includes a rebranding of areas, where Future World West (the Soarin’ side) will be dubbed World Nature and Future World East (the Test Track side) will become World Discovery. World Showcase’s naming will remain unchanged. Epcot: The colorful return of Leave a Legacy » All four Disney World theme parks’ icons will be given touch-ups for the 50th celebration, including Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom, the Tree of Life at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Tower Hotel/Tower of Terror at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” is scheduled to begin Oct. 1 and continue for 18 months, the company said last week. Also announced: New costuming for Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse for the occasion. Riddley’s post repeated that Spaceship Earth’s lighting system will continue to be used beyond the 50th anniversary festivities. More “technical innovation and artistry” are to be revealed, he said. His Instagram account is @thezachriddley.
