We’re really big fans of Disney+’s newest show, WandaVision! ©Disney | Marvel Studios The show has been a hit among Marvel fans with its sitcom-meets-mystery-thriller style and lovable characters. We’ve been so invested that we’ve been shopping the merchandise to rep our new favorite show, and even trying out special themed treats in Disney Springs. And once again this week, Amorette’s Patisserie has released a WandaVision cake, but there’s something peculiar about this one! WARNING: This article will contain spoilers from WandaVision up until this point, including episode 7. You have been warned! The cake was announced on the Disney Springs Twitter account today, and it will be available at Amorette’s Patisserie while supplies last. Make sure to take a GOOD look at the photo on the cake… But here’s the thing…that picture isn’t from any episode we’ve seen so far. In fact, our team had a pretty thorough discussion about it! We all agreed that this cake couldn’t be from the latest episode, because as one of our team members put it, “they definitely weren’t together at all this week.” Wanda and Vision spend the whole episode apart from each other, so this has to be a picture from a different week. ©Disney | Wanda in Episode 7 Wanda’s hair is one of the best clues here because her style has been changing every week. (Seriously girl, we need the deets on your stylist!) That straight hair was what led another team member to say, “It almost looks like it could be from the 70s tho??” Another person joined that side of the argument, “her hair is giving me 70s vibes. I agree.” ©Disney | Wanda and Vision in the 70s We thought we’d figured it out, but then we did a little more Google research and were sorely disappointed. Two of our writers jumped in the thread with their research, sharing “Her sleeves are stripey in the 70s, so I don’t think that’s it” and “Her 70s shirt was like red with a ton of other colors.” Looks like we’re back to square one. ©Disney | This is how we feel now… Okay, so if it’s not the 70s, and it’s not from this week or any other week…then this HAS to be a picture from an upcoming episode! It wouldn’t be the first time that the petite cake hasn’t been timed properly with that week’s show. One person reminded us that released an 80s cake the week that the episode aired from outside the hex, saying “so really Jimmy Woo should’ve been on the cake.” That comment sparked a 5-minute conversation on how great a Jimmy Woo cake would be, considering “Him and that card trick, that’s a true love story.” ©Disney | Agent Woo FINALLY masters the card trick! After our Jimmy Woo detour, we realized that this cake might be spoiling something for future episodes, but what is there to spoil, really? Wanda and Vision stare into each other’s eyes on next week’s episode? That’s not exactly earth-shattering news! We suppose this proves that both characters are alive for the next episode. Or at least, not any MORE dead than they currently are. (We’re looking at you, Vision!) ©Disney | We’re not gonna lie…this was SUPER creepy. Even though the cake doesn’t reveal any major information, we’re definitely excited to have more WandaVision treats in Disney World! Hurry and pick one up if you’re interested, and stay tuned to DFB for the latest news on Disney+’s hottest show! (And seriously…where is our Jimmy Woo cake??)

For adults and kids alike, it can be hard to go to Disney World and NOT be tempted by ALL those fun souvenirs. Cinderella Castle We’ve definitely got some souvenirs that we do NOT regret buying. But even buying those can really add up in terms of cost (especially with big families). So, you might be on the hunt for a souvenir that’s relatively inexpensive for yourself or your little ones. Or you might be a collector-type looking for a Disney collection you can actually get without breaking the bank. And we may have found just the thing. Recently, we spotted a souvenir that’s small (AKA no need to buy extra luggage to bring this home), not super expensive, and something you’ve probably never even noticed before! You’ve probably heard of and seen (and maybe even own a few) of Disney’s Pressed Pennies. These are some of Disney’s smallest and least expensive souvenirs, making them easy to carry, and pretty cheap to buy and collect. Fun & inexpensive & they fit in your pocket — what’s not to love? Dinosaur Pressed Pennies So, you’ve seen the pennies, but have you ever seen Disney’s Collectible Medallions? We bet you’ve walked past one of these machines as you were running to your next reservation or ride and never even noticed them. They’re not new (well, they might have updated designs, but the fact that Disney sells collectible medallions is not new). In fact, they’ve been around for several years, but they’re often overlooked. We spotted one of these Collectible Medallion machines in the Emporium in Magic Kingdom. OooOo Collectible Medallions! The machine there had 4 different medallion designs to pick from featuring Mickey and Minnie, Donald, Pluto, and Goofy. Cute Designs! The medallions themselves come in a few different colors as well. Do medallions really make sense on Main Street, U.S.A.? We’re not sure. But they DEFINITELY fit in the next spot we found them… Shinnyyyyy …near Pirates! We spotted another medallion machine back in Adventureland at Plaza del Sol Caribe Bazaar, the shop at the exit of Pirates of the Caribbean. Arrrr Pirate Medallions Ahead This machine had all gold coins featuring 4 different pirate designs. There was a Mickey coin that says “I Never Surrender,” a Minnie design that says “I’ve Got Pirate Swagger,” a medallion featuring that signature scene of a skeleton pirate at the helm of a ship, and a medallion with Pluto holding the keys (like the dog in the ride) with the phrase “Here Comes Trouble” on it. Dead Men Tell NO Tales These are just two machines but there are more medallion machines around Disney World. See if you can spot them on your next trip! You can pay for these medallions using Apple Pay, Soft-Wallet, a credit card, and cash too. And now, the key question — what does it cost? Well, they’re definitely more than a pressed penny, but they’re still relatively inexpensive. You can get 1 medallion for $5, 2 for $10, or 4 for $15 (you essentially pay for 3 and get the 4th free!) Basically, you can get 8 of these medallions for about the same as the cost of 1 pair of Minnie ears. Lots of Payment Options = Less Excuses to Skip Out on This Souvenir (oh no!) Now, Minnie ears might be your thing and that’s TOTALLY okay. But, if you love being able to buy a LOT of things rather than just one (quantity AND quality), you could definitely collect way more of these than Minnie ears, shirts, and even pins and still stick to your budget. Although they are certainly not as “cost-effective” as other items that might cost more initially, but you could ultimately get more use out of them. We’ll Take One of Each Please But, if you’re looking for a quick souvenir to bring back to a friend, or something small your kids (or you) can collection from Disney World, you might want to check out these Collectible Medallion machines. You may just find yourself walking away with one (or 4 because really how can you turn down a 4 for 3 deal?!). Click here to see Disney’s most cringe worthy souvenirs!

Who doesn’t want MORE time to spend at Disney World? If you have plans to hit up the parks in early March, we have some good news for you (and possibly bad news…well, not BAD news, but there’s a catch)! Spaceship Earth Disney World already extended park hours for the first week of March. Now, some of those hours in the first week are being extended even further, and they’re also beginning to extend some hours in the second week of March, too! Remember, what does March usually mean? Spring break. Yep, it looks like Disney World could be preparing for those extra crowds to show up in the coming weeks. Let’s take a quick look park-by-park and see what the extended hours are for the first two weeks. Magic Kingdom Previously, Magic Kingdom posted daily park hours of 9AM-7PM. Now, those hours are being extended by one hour in the evening to 9AM-8PM from Friday, March 5th and Saturday, March 6th. Sunday, March 7th and Monday, March 8th also have park hours of 9AM-8PM, with an extension of two hours from the previously posted 9AM-6PM. In addition, Magic Kingdom will be open a whopping three hours later, from 9AM-10PM, on Friday, March 12th and Saturday, March 13th. Check out those park hours on March 12th and 13th! © Disney EPCOT Over at EPCOT, the previously posted park hours of 11AM-8PM are being extended by one hour in the evening on Saturday, March 6th to 11AM-9PM. In addition, on March 13th EPCOT will remain open for an additional two hours in the evening, with posted hours of 11AM-10PM. Current park hours for EPCOT from March 1st through March 13th © Disney Disney’s Hollywood Studios At Hollywood Studios, the park hours are once again extended slightly in the morning. Previously open from 10AM-7PM the week of March 7th, Hollywood Studios will now be open daily from 9AM-7PM from March 1st through March 13th. Disney’s Hollywood Studios park hours from March 1st through March 13th © Disney Disney’s Animal Kingdom Finally, Disney’s Animal Kingdom will have a few extra early mornings in the first half of March. Across the board, the park will now open at 8AM daily the week of March 7th. In addition, Animal Kingdom will remain open for an additional two hours in the evening on March 13th, from 8AM-8PM. Grab an extra cup of coffee on your Animal Kingdom day if you want an early start! © Disney As great as it is to have more time to spend in the theme parks, keep in mind that Disney will typically extend hours if they are anticipating crowds. So if you’re heading to Disney World soon, be prepared for longer wait times as well as potentially less elbow room, especially at those pinch points around the parks. Who else is ready to walk right down the middle of Main Street, U.S.A.? We’ll continue to closely monitor the park hours at Disney World and will let you know as soon as we hear of any additional changes to the calendar! Planning on booking a 2022 Disney World vacation?

Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at the EPCOT Resorts! Yacht and Beach Club And, we’ve got plenty of new food and resort updates to share with you. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s jump right on in! Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Food Update Boardwalk Bakery Over at the Boardwalk Bakery, we spotted a healthier option on the menu and decided to give it a try! The Tomato Mozerella Salad comes in a handy to-go cup and is made with yellow and red grape tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, topped with a side of basil olive oil dressing. Tomato Mozzarella Salad The coolest part of this salad is that the dressing comes in a separate cup so you can add as little or as much as you’d like and the tomato and mozzarella aren’t soggy from sitting in the dressing! Tomato Mozzarella Salad If you’re in the mood for a healthier snack during your trip to Disney World, this is a great option for $4.49. Read our FULL REVIEW of the Tomato Mozzarella Salad HERE! Even though we got something healthy doesn’t mean we weren’t eyeing the treats. The Coconut Macaroons were still sporting their Valentine’s Day look with a splash of pink and red! Valentine’s Day Looking Coconut Macaroon You can get this GIANT macaroon and bask in all the coconut glory for $4.29. We’ve given this macaroon a try before! Big River Grille & Brewing Works Over at Big River Grille & Brewing Works, we noticed that there were tables set up outside. Outdoor seating at Big River The restaurant is still closed and has not announced a reopening date but hopefully, this means we’re one step closer! Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Merchandise Update Screen Door General Store We’ve been loving The Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure exhibit in EPCOT and another Soul-inspired display has made its way to the Screen Door General Store — but this display is full of things you can buy! You’ll find some of the Soul plushes, t-shirts, and toys that we’ve spotted at other locations around Walt Disney World. We were hopeful that the display meant that there was some new Soul merchandise making its way into stores, but sadly there was nothing we hadn’t seen before here. Read MORE About The Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure Exhibit in EPCOT! Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Miscellaneous Update Luna Park Pool Over at the Luna Pool, we spotted a new Cast Member costumes at the Leaping Horse Libations Pool Bar. The new look features a blue polo that has striped sleeves and a few darker blue details. New Cast Member Costume at Leaping Libations We’ve seen quite a few other resort Cast Members get an updated look recently so we’re just adding this one to the ever-growing list! This shirt looked like the reddish-orange ones we spotted at the bars at the Polynesian Resort! Check out other new Cast Member costumes we’ve spotted! Last year, the water slide at the Luna Park Pool got a less-creepy makeover and now the slide is completely open! Stairs to slide open It lights up just like a carnival at night making it even MORE exciting to be checking out the water slide during your dedicated pool time! (No creepy light-up clown eyes in sight anymore!) Disney’s Yacht Club Resort Merchandise Update Marketplace at Ale & Compass If you’re a die-hard fan of Disney’s Yacht Club Resort (or you would love a new Disney cup), we spotted a new Tervis at The Marketplace at Ale & Compass. The tumbler features Mickey and Minnie sailing on Crescent Lake spending the day relaxing. Yacht Club Tervis But, this tumbler is more than meets the eye! There are some really cool nods to Disney history in the design. Check out what the sailboat is named! See if you can spot all the hidden details on the tumbler! While we were shopping, we also spotted the Betsy Johnson Nautical Line! We’ve seen this collection before over at the Contemporary, but it has made its way over to the Yacht Club too! Betsy Johnson Nautical Line And, you can spot Disney’s latest shoe trend in the store — the Native shoes! These shoes come in tons of Disney designs and can make park-going comfy for kids and adults! Disney x Native Shoes The shoes have nothing short of invaded Walt Disney World so you can snag a pair of these babies in A LOT of stores both in and out of the parks. Here’s where you can find the Native Shoes in the Disney Parks! Disney’s Yacht Club Resort Miscellaneous Update Hurricane Hanna’s Waterside Bar and Grill The new Cast Member look has even made its way over to Hurricane Hanna’s Waterside Bar and Grill! Cast Members at Hurricane Hanna’s Did we miss the memo or something? Should WE be changing what we wear to the park? There are just so. many. new. costumes. Seriously! We have an entire post with all the new Cast Member costumes! Around the Yacht Club There was still a lot of hustle and bustle around the resort while we were visiting. Lots of Cast Members were out setting up for a private event that was taking place later in the day. Could that be Disney Wedding bells we hear? We’re just speculating…or dreaming… . Private Event at Yacht Club And, they were doing some trimming of the trees around the resort area. Gotta keep those trees well-groomed! Tree Trimming We love how nice everything feels at Disney World, but this looked…less than nice as you made your way around the Boardwalk. Disney’s Beach Club Resort Food Update Beaches and Cream Remember that sneaky hiding ice cream we mentioned? Perhaps the most suspicious thing we spotted on our visit to the EPCOT resorts, was over at Beaches and Cream. Disney added more trees and a black screen over the to-go window so absolutely NO ONE tries to place an order there. Beaches & Cream To-Go Window That’s one way to send a message, Disney! Check out more about Beaches and Cream’s not-so-incognito to-go window! Disney’s Beach Club Resort Construction Update Beach Club Villas Over at the Beach Club Villas, they’ve been working on adding an awning in a small area around the resort for a little while now. It looks like there’s progress being made though! Cast Members Painting When we passed by, they were painting the area so hopefully that will be complete soon. Crescent Solarium We weren’t able to relax in the sun at the Crescent Solarium while we were there because it was closed. The sign on the door said, “Please pardon our appearance while we refresh the Solarium for your future enjoyment.” Solarium Closed We’re not sure why it was closed, but when we listened closely it sounded like there was some cleaning going on behind the closed doors. Take a look around the Crescent Solarium HERE! And that’s all for our visit to the EPCOT Resorts! Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news and updates!

"I never have a bad time on a vacation. How could you? It’s vacation." View the full article

Another week has passed and once again it’s been a week with LOTS of big news. Cinderella Castle If you’re planning a trip to Disney World, we got quite a few updates this week that you absolutely NEED to know about. 1. 2022 Bookings for Disney World Are Available Maybe you had to cancel your 2020 trip to Disney World due to the pandemic or other concerns. And it’s possible that you’ve already decided 2021 is just not going to be your year for a Disney World trip for whatever reason. Maybe you’ve already decided to save up those extra dollars this year and plan the 2022 Disney World trip of your dreams. Well, this week, bookings for trips to Disney World for 2022 opened up. So, you can officially get planning. Spaceship Earth Vacation packages, tickets-only, and room-only bookings are now available. So, if you’ve had to delay that Disney trip and just need a new vacation date to look forward to, you can already get planning for 2022. Click here to check out more details about the release of 2022 Disney World vacations. 2. Dining Plan Unavailable in 2022 (For Now) Another important thing to note about 2022 trips is that (at least right now) Disney Dining Plan add-on is not available. The Dining Plan allowed guests to essentially pre-pay for their meals and then use those pre-paid “points” to get food in the parks and hotels. Charcuterie Plate The dining plan was suspended back in 2020 when the parks reopened after the coronavirus closures and have not yet returned. For now, you won’t be able to add-on a Dining Plan option to your 2022 Disney World vacations either. But, this is subject to change. Click here to see more information about the Dining Plan for 2022 trips. 3. Ticket Prices in 2022 With 2022 bookings available, we were able to get a better look at the ticket prices for 2022 and see what changes (if any) there are compared to 2021. Have ticket prices increased for 2022? Well, it’s complicated. Tower of Terror The short answer is no, the range in terms of the prices, tickets are the same. BUT, you might find that your usual trip is more expensive in 2022 than 2021 for the exact same days. That’s because a number of the days in 2022 have been changed to a higher ticket bracket so to speak. So, while a 1-day 1 park ticket in 2021 for December 24th may have been priced at $139, it is ow priced at $141 in 2022. But, other days have stayed the same or actually gone down in price. Tree of Life You’ll want to take a look at the calendar for 2022 and see whether the overall price of your usual Disney trip will be a bit different than it has been before. Click here to see more about ticket prices in 2022. 4. New Hotels to Stay At There are lots of hotels to stay at when you visit Disney World including Disney hotels, non-Disney hotels on property, off-property hotels, and more. And now there are two more options for you to consider. Homewood Suites by Hilton at the nearby Flamingo Crossings Town Center officially opened to guests on February 18th. ©Homewood Suites by Hilton The hotel is just about 15 minutes away from Disney’s Animal Kingdom and not much farther from the other parks. Click here to see more about Homewood Suites! Additionally, reservations for the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve, a new hotel that forms part of the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort, is also now accepting reservations beginning in September. Swan Reserve So, if you’ve been looking for a new hotel to stay at during your trip this year or any other time in the future, these 2 new options might be something for you to consider. Click here to see more about the reservations available at the Swan Reserve. 5. Park Passes Might Be Around for a WHILE All guests visiting Disney World currently need a park ticket AND valid Park Pass reservation for the parks they want to visit each day of their trip. This week, we saw Park Passes become available for part of January in 2023. Yes, that’s right. Not 2022! All the way to 2023! New Balloons on Main Street, U.S.A. This could indicate that Park Passes will be around all the way to 2023. Things are constantly changing at Disney World though, so this could also change in the future. But, if you are planning a trip for late 2022 into early 2023, you can now get your Park Passes. Mickey Bar Park Passes can fill up quite a bit, particularly on busy holidays, so it can be a good idea to get them early. You can always cancel them later and try to get different Park Passes in the future if you change your mind about the parks you want to visit. Click here to see more about Park Passes being available into 2023. And that’s our list of 5 BIG things you need to know about if you’re planning a trip to Disney World in the future. Wonder what other big Disney news came out this week? Well, just a few days ago we got more details about what parts of Disney California Adventure will be reopened during their new ticketed event. The dates for Marvel and Star Wars Days at Sea on the Disney Cruise Line for 2022 were also announced. Disney Cruise Line Wonder Ship Hong Kong Disneyland also announced its reopening date, we saw some SERIOUSLY BIG crowds in Disney World, we got an update on what will happen with Disney Cruise Line transportation once the Magical Express is gone, Disney hopped on a new shoe trend, 2 new experiences were announced for Disney World, AND we shared a look at how the Walt Disney Company is really doing. Disney x Native shoes for kids We’ll continue to stay on top of all of the latest Disney news and bring you what you need to know!

Hello, DFB Friends! Journey Into Imagination with Figment We’ve been to EPCOT, walked around World Showcase, and checked anything and everything out that’s new! So here are all the latest updates. EPCOT Food Updates Spice Road Table Juice Bar The Spice Road Table Juice Bar in Morocco has switched up its set-up a little. Before, you would see the back of the juice machines when ordering. They switched out the juice machines with their small bakery case so now you can see what treat they have available. Oasis Sips and Sweets A new snack cart called Oasis Sips and Sweets in Morocco has opened up! We had some rather pricey — but healthy — snacks there to check it out! Spread The cart should be open from 1PM every day, if staffing allows. Read our review of this new snack cart Garden House In Japan, Garden House was open! This is the pavilion’s outdoor sake bar. Garden House A Cast Member told us that they hope to be open every day, as staffing allows. Review: EPCOT’s Japan Booth Is Serving Up DIY Zen Gardens! EPCOT Merchandise Updates House of Good Fortune We discovered Mermicornos in the China Pavilion! These are plushes that are half unicorn and half mermaid and 100% unique! We ended up buying one as a gift! Blue Mermicorno A few were on sale for $10.95, while others were $13.95. See more photos of the Mermicornos We also found some charming Year of the Ox Coin Banks.

Weinkeller The Weinkeller wine of the week is a 2017 Graf Reipperg Lemberger. Wine of the week It’s $8 for a 3 oz pour or $30 for the bottle. Cheers! Wine Night Just Got Better With These Disney Glasses Die Weihnatchs Ecke We decided to discover what the three most expensive items were in the Christmas shop in Germany. At first, we thought it was a Santa Klaus Stein for $135. Santa Claus Stein But it turned out to be a Nutcracker! He didn’t even have a price tag on him, but a Cast Member rang him up for us and we discovered that he was a whopping $150! We definitely weren’t expecting this… Our third place winner, though, was a pricey Teddy Bear for $64.99. Expensive bears These ARE, however, handcrafted goodies from Germany, so that makes them nice collectibles. But whew! See more photos of these items Mitsuokoshi It’s peach season in Japan, or at least at the Japan Pavilion. We found several different kinds of peach snacks, as well as a book about a “Peach Boy!” ‘Peach Boy’ Book After some research, we learned that Hinamatsuri is on March 3rd, which is a giant Peach Festival in Japan. It celebrates the peach blossom season on the lunar calendar. So that possibly explains all the sudden peach stuff we’re now seeing at the Japan Pavilion. Peach Gummy Candy Super Mario Bros. fans rejoice — we found a Yoshi Baseball Cap! This vibrant green cap is $24.95. Yoshi hat See all the peach stuff we found Speaking of video games, we also found an Animal Crossing Backpack! For those who don’t know, Animal Crossing is a very popular game on the Nintendo Switch — it became THE game to play during 2020, thanks to all the quarantining we did. Animal Crossing Backpack It’s got so many of the game’s little animal characters on it. You can grab it now for $59.99. See more photos of the Animal Crossing Backpack EPCOT Construction Updates Future World West The waterways around Future World West were being drained when we visited EPCOT! Drained waterway We thought it might have something to do with the upcoming Moana water attraction, but the waters are being refilled again, so it’s likely just some regular maintenance. See more photos of the drained waterways at Future World West Festival Market Booth The Festival Market Booths between Germany and Refreshment Outpost is now a pin station! Pin trading station So pin traders have another spot to do their thing at EPCOT for the time being! NEW Limited Edition ‘101 Dalmatians’ Pins Spotted Online!

Hi, friends! We’re coming at you once again from Disney’s beautiful Animal Kingdom! Disney’s Animal Kingdom So, let’s get trekkin’! After all, there’s a lot to LOVE about Disney’s Animal Kingdom! And guess what? Animal Kingdom LOVES YOU right back… at least, if the snacks we spotted during our latest trip to see what’s new are any indication! Animal Kingdom Food Updates Dino-Bite Snacks That’s right! It’s still a Valentine’s celebration of LOVE throughout the park even though February 14th has come and gone! Valentine Ice Cream Sandwich And you can still feel the love starting at Dino-Bite Snacks in DinoLand, U.S.A. where the Valentine Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich remains up for grabs! Dino-Bite Snacks Menu Here, strawberry ice cream is sandwiched between two chocolate cookies and rolled in heart-shaped sprinkles. Valentine Ice Cream Sandwich And this is just a friendly reminder that you can enjoy it for the rest of the month, and through March 1st! Find our review of this sprinkled seasonal sammie here! Flame Tree Barbecue and Restaurantosaurus The same holds true of the Valentine’s Cupcake themed to Simba and Nala from The Lion King. Valentine’s Cupcake It’s a chocolate cupcake with milk chocolate, soft ganache filling, vanilla buttercream, and a cute-as-can-be Simba and Nala white chocolate coin. Valentine’s Cupcake Basically, it’s kind of like this, but on a cupcake! Lions in Animal Kingdom I mean, we’re not the ONLY ones needing something to snack on in the park! Animal Care and Feeding (It was a good day for animal-spotting, by the way!) Giraffes! Anyhoo, where were we? Oh yeah! This Valentine’s Cupcake is also available at Flame Tree Barbecue and Restaurantosaurus through March 1st! Valentine’s Cupcake on sign at Restaurantosaurus Buuuuut… Is that good news or “meh” news? Is this Lion King Cupcake as good as it is cute? Find out here. Creature Comforts While we weren’t wowed by the previously mentioned cupcake, the Valentine’s Cupcake at Creature Comforts is a classic chocolate and cherry confection! Valentine’s Cupcake And, yep! This heart-topped (and heart-covered) cupcake remains up for grabs at Creature Comforts, as well, for the rest of the month! Valentine’s Day Cupcake DIG IN to our review of this Valentine’s Cupcake here! Ditto goes for the Valentine’s Brownie with a Mousse Dome, also here at the park’s Starbucks stop. Brownie Topped with a Mousse Dome Strawberry mousse sits atop a chocolate brownie, and it’s topped with pink, red, and white heart sprinkles. Pretty, isn’t it? See our review of this seasonal Brownie snack here! Nomad Lounge Now there is something we want to note about the Valentine’s version of the Dessert Trio at Nomad Lounge. Nomad Lounge While it is — as of right now — still available, the cast member we spoke with wasn’t sure how long this would be the case, so get this pretty plate of chocolate, hazelnut, and strawberry treats while you can! Valentine’s Dessert Trio That said, the Dessert Trio changes with the seasons around here, so you can check out a previous version here to get an idea of what might be available on your visit! Check out the Seasonal Dessert Trio at Nomad Lounge here! And that’s it! The Season of Love goes on and on (and on) throughout the park! And may we say… we love you right back, Animal Kingdom!

There is a lot of construction going on in EPCOT as part of that park’s massive transformation. Spaceship Earth There’s work being done for the new fireworks show, the new Guardians of the Galaxy ride, and more. Just yesterday, we noticed that EPCOT’s Future World was looking very different. But today we stopped by the park again and things had changed…AGAIN. When we stopped by EPCOT yesterday, we saw that some of EPCOT’s waterways in Future World West, near the Seas Pavilion, were being drained. Drained waterways In our photo from yesterday, you can see the water level is lower and some of the rocks on the bottom had been exposed because of the water drainage. Drained waterway Today, we stopped by EPCOT again but things were totally different. The waterways in EPCOT’s Future World were actually being refilled, instead of drained. Waterways Refilled You can see the water level is higher and many of the rocks on the bottom have now been covered. Waterways Being Refilled We’re not sure what has caused this change. Yesterday, when we saw the water being drained we thought it could be for preparation for work on the upcoming Moana Journey of Water, or potentially just routine maintenance. Waterways Refilled When we spoke to some Cast Members yesterday, none of them had a clear answer on why the waterways there were being drained. Some said the water is routinely drained for pipe work. Another Cast Member told us that the water is often drained if there’s any sort of flowers or water features being added. Waterways Refilled All we know at the moment is that some water was being drained from these areas yesterday, but today it looks like those same waterways are being refilled. Of course, these waterways could be drained again at some point in the future. We’ll definitely keep an eye out for more updates and changes in this area.

Lately, we’ve seen a WandaVision MagicBand, cakes, pins, and more in Disney World. It sort of has us wondering if Wanda has expanded the Hex to include the Most Magical Place on Earth. ©Disney | Marvel Studios The thing we found today definitely looks like it has spent some time in Westview and has been trying to break out! It’s a WandaVision BUS! We found the bus in the parking lot of Blizzard Beach. Is this what marks the end of the Hex in Disney World? The last episode of WandaVision Season 1 is set to premiere on March 5th, and Blizzard Beach is set to reopen March 7th. Hmmm…curious. On one side of the bus, you can see Wanda caught between her black-and-white sitcom life and her life in color. WandaVision On the other side of the bus is Vision again split between the world of the past and his more super-persona. The back of the bus is covered in static similar to some of the designs we’ve seen on posters for the show or in the show itself. WandaVision Bus So, the next time you’re in Disney World, keep your eyes open for these WandaVision buses. Maybe this one managed to hop out of the Hex when WandaVision fans crashed Disney+ this morning. We’ll keep an eye out for more WandaVision news and updates and let you know what we find!

We’re just a few short weeks away from seeing Disney’s newest animated film — Raya and the Last Dragon! Animal Kingdom The movie will be released in theaters and on Disney+ with Premier Access in early March. We’ve already been checking out all the latest trailers and merchandise for the movie. But, now you can celebrate the arrival of this film with a brand new experience in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Just a few days ago, Disney shared that 2 NEW experiences themed to Raya and the Last Dragon would be coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom soon. And today, we spotted one of them already up and action. If you’re headed to Animal Kingdom soon, be sure to stop by the Discovery Island Stage. Starting today and lasting through February 21st, you’ll be able to see some talented artists creating a Raya-themed display made entirely out of…SAND! Raya and the Last Dragon Sand Sculpture in Progress When we first stopped by today, the artists were just getting started. Raya and the Last Dragon Sand Sculpture in Progress A little later in the day, they had already made some progress! They’d started forming some of the shapes and outlining certain designs that will be part of the display. Raya and the Last Dragon Sand Sculpture in Progress The artists will be working on the design this weekend and will put a special coating on it once they’re done so that it doesn’t fall apart. Raya and the Last Dragon Sand Sculpture in Progress Once it’s done, this 40-ton sand sculpture will feature Raya, Tuk Tuk, Sisu the last dragon, and the Ongi, all in the fantasy world of Kumandra. Raya and the Last Dragon Sand Sculpture in Progress So, if you’ll be in Animal Kingdom this weekend, be sure to stop by and see these artists at work. Once the sculpture is done, it’ll be on display in Animal Kingdom for a limited time through the end of March. Raya and the Last Dragon Sand Sculpture in Progress In addition to the the sand sculpture, some Raya and the Last Dragon merchandise will be available at the park soon. We didn’t find any new items when we were there today, but one Cast Member said it may be available on Monday, February 22nd. We’ll keep an eye out for more updates on that. Right now, you can get some Raya-themed merchandise online though, and we have seen a special MagicBand themed to the movie too. Raya and the Last Dragon Sand Sculpture in Progress And there’s another new experience coming soon to Animal Kingdom too. Starting on February 22nd, 2021, you’ll be able to draw new characters from Raya at The Animation Experience at Conservation Station. When we stopped by today, we didn’t see any of the Raya characters available at The Animation Experience yet, but they should be available starting Monday. Conservation Station One of the characters you’ll get the chance to draw is Raya’s faithful companion Tuk Tuk. What is Tuk Tuk exactly? Well, Disney says he’s part-pill bug, part-pug, and part-high speed off-road vehicle. Also, as part of the Animation Experience, you’ll get to see a behind-the-scenes look at the inspiration for Tuk Tuk, shared by Kelly Marie Tran (voice of Raya) and Awkwafina (voice of Sisu). ©Disney So, if you’re going to visit Animal Kingdom soon, consider checking out these new activities. We’ll keep an eye out for more Raya and the Last Dragon news and let you know what we see. You can get ready for its release right now by pre-ordering the movie.

And last month, Disneyland announced that it would be discontinuing its annual passholder program. Disneyland’s Gate on July 9 Although Disney promises a new program will take its place, it also renamed its current passholders — those who had active memberships through March 14th, 2020 — as “Legacy Passholders.” The company promised that those passholders would still get certain perks through the program. One of those perks has arrived in the form of a recent email to all Legacy Passholders: they can now save 25% off purchases of $75 or more on shopDisney. This offer is available from February 21st through February 24th. ©Disney Here’s how it works: each passholder will have a unique code in the email they receive, which they can use when checking out on the shopDisney website. The discount will apply to all eligible items in their shopping cart. Please note that this code can only be used once and is only valid for purchases of $75 or more. ©Disney This discount is basically the same as what has been offered to Disney World Passholders multiple times now, but without the need for a unique code for the Disney World APs. We’ll be sure to let you know if we discover any other special discounts for Disneyland Legacy Passholders, too. So please stay tuned! A Visit To Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland is Easier Than You Think!

Sometimes it can feel like there are SO many choices to make when you go to Disney World. Magic Kingdom Should you wait in that line? Are you hungry or does that snack just look really good? Do you really need those Minnie Ears (the answer is usually yes for us)? LOTS of decisions! Well, what if you had to make even HARDER decisions? We asked our readers to answer seemingly IMPOSSIBLE Disney questions over on Instagram in a good old fashion game of “Would You Rather.” First up was the question “Would you rather get one single-use FastPass+ for every ride at Disney World OR have a lifetime FastPass+ for one ride of your choosing?” We know, a hard-hitting question. But, most of our readers agreed — 76% want one day of FastPass+ glory! Would You Rather FastPass+ Edition The other 24% are die-hard fans of one ride, or they really hate waiting in line for a specific attraction. We get it — WHY does Peter Pan’s Flight usually have sUCH a LONG line at Magic Kingdom?! Peter Pan’s Flight Onto the next difficult decision! “Would you rather spend several days at a Disney World Value Resort OR only a couple days at a Disney World deluxe resort?” This one was reallllll close. 51% voted to stay at a value resort and 49% voted for a deluxe resort. Would You Rather Disney Resort Edition We’ve done both and we’re still on the fence about which one we would prefer! Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa And, we saved the hardest question for last. “Would you rather eat unlimited snacks but no table-service meals OR all table-service meals but no snacks?” Please don’t make us answer this question! Would You Rather Disney Dining Edition But, you all had a clear choice with 63% preferring to eat unlimited snacks (AKA all the Dole Whip and Gideon’s Cookies please!). On the other hand, 37% would skip out on all the snacks and dine in (because who could go without pizza from Via Napoli?!). Frankenstein Cookie And, that’s it! Three of the hardest questions we’ve probably ever asked you (besides making you pick a favorite snack, sorry!). We’re just happy that we didn’t have to make these choices!

We’ve got a cool new find from Disney’s Animal Kingdom today! Animal Kingdom We’ve been paying close attention to the unique merchandise for sale in the parks. In EPCOT yesterday, we spotted a peachy celebration and unicorn mermaids (!!). Now, we’re in Disney’s Animal Kingdom and we’ve got something else we have to show you! We were strolling through the Market in Asia today when we noticed something pretty fun-looking. Upon closer inspection, we realized it was a money tree! Money Tree Chinese coins form the leaves, and they’re knotted onto wire that makes up the branches. It brings good fortune to you — but even better fortune to the person you give it to as a gift! Money Tree You can pick one of these up for yourself (or a friend) for $15.99! Next time someone tells you money doesn’t grow on trees, just show them this.

DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. Just a few days ago, we spotted a NEW shoe trend in Disney World — the Disney x Native shoes. They’re also available online now too. Native Disney shoes These shoes are similar to Crocs in terms of their material, but more similar to Keds in terms of their actual design. Immediately, we wondered, will Disney Crocs become old news? Are there enough #TeamCrocs fans out there to keep them alive, or will #TeamNative take over? Well, today we stumbled upon a serious SHOE STANDOFF happening. You’ll see what we mean. As we walked around Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we encountered the shoe showdown of the year, nay the CENTURY. Not only were the shoes forced to live in the same park, they were placed just FEET away from one another (pun very much intended). SHOE SHOWDOWN! We could practically hear them yelling at each other from across the way. Imagine. All day. Staring at each other. The battle of the plastic shoes. Disney Crocs: Listen up kid. This town ain’t big enough for the two of us. I’ve been here since before you were even BORN. I’ve even got Mickey-shaped holes. Crocs Crocs: There are SO MANY of me! I come covered in designs featuring the beloved Haunted Mansion, Disney snacks, and I’ve even gone super retro and cool. Umm…do I even need to mention PLATFORMS? They’re cool. Look it up. I’ve got designs for kids and adults. I can Tik the Toks and tweet like no other bird can. I may not always be the most stylish shoe in the bunch, but people think I’m super comfortable and especially great in wet weather! You could NEVER. Don’t you “OK, boomer” me, young blood! Crocs Disney x Native Shoes: OK, boomer (hehe). You’re old stuff Crocs. I’m the new kid on the block and I’m taking over. Step. Aside. First of all, I’m recyclable, lightweight and you know what people LOVE? Saving the earth. Do you do that? Nah, but I DO! It’s called going green. LOOK IT UP. Native Shoes and Crocs Disney x Native Shoes: Also, have you SEEN how parents love me?? I’m comfy, versatile, waterproof. I am perfection. AND, some might even find me to be more stylish in terms of my overall design (SHOTS FIRED). AND I’m covered in designs featuring Mickey and Minnie Mouse — the OGs. You’re toast Crocs. I’m the new kicks in town. Native Shoes Oh man. That got heated. There’s room in this town for both of ya! Shoe Showdown And yes, we just gave imaginary voices to Disney shoes. And you just read about it. You’re welcome. But in all seriousness (haha, J/K. We’re talking about fighting shoes. Good luck taking us seriously here!) look at this video. TRY to not feel heartbroken for Crocs just blowin’ in the wind while the Natives are over there with guests buying them up like they’re the new hotness. While we were there, there were actually quite a LOT of people looking at the new Native shoes over the Crocs. Crocs, are those tears we hear? Things are really getting serious now. Native Shoes and Crocs Just for reference, some of the Crocs we spotted on shopDisney recently were priced at $49.99 or $54.99, while the kids’ shoe we saw was priced at $39.99. Meanwhile, adult Native Disney shoes are $54.99, with kid sizes priced at $44.99. Which shoe will emerge victorious? Is there room for both shoes to survive together? It truly is a shoe standoff. Crocs and Native Shoes Are you #TeamCrocs or #TeamNative? Or #TeamOtherShoe? Settle this shoe showdown in the comments! Click here to see how you can get the Disney x Native shoes online!

No matter how many times you’ve been to Disney World, you can still be totally surprised by some of the tiny (but awesome) details there that are hidden, sometimes in plain sight. Tree of Life You’ve probably walked past lots of these things TONS of times and never noticed them or even stopped to think about them. Today we spotted something in Disney World that you’ve probably walked past and maybe even stopped at for a significant period of time, but you probably have NO idea what one of the words on it means. As we were walking around the Africa area of the park, we spotted this colorful ice cream cart. You’ve probably walked past it too while walking around the park. Ice Cream Cart You may have even stopped here on once (or QUITE a few times) to get something cool to eat to beat the Florida heat, or to grab a quick snack. The cart sells some ice cream snacks, popcorn, chips, and more. Our focus here is on the ice cream cart itself though. Ice Cream Cart Have you taken the time to actually look at the design on the front of the ice cream cart? We’ll start with some smaller details before we hit the big one. First, have you noticed that the animals are actually saying things? The lion is saying “overcome the hot temperature.” Ice Cream Cart And the elephant says “numerous delightful flavors.” What a delightful little elephant with such a wonderful vocabulary. Ice Cream Cart But, the real secret here is not in those small details (as you might expect). It’s actually in those BIG words right in front — “Baridi Baridi.” As you quickly walked past this cart to your next ride, or worked to unwrap the sweet treat you got from this spot, you might have been so busy you didn’t stop to ask yourself, “what does ‘baridi’ mean?” Ice Cream Cart Well, “baridi” is actually Swahili for “cold!” So, the cart is telling you that it’s selling “cold cold ice creams.” That’s so cool (literally)! Ice Cream Cart It’s a tiny detail that was by no means strictly necessary, but absolutely adds to the story. It adds a sense of authenticity in a way to the cart to have Swahili words on it, and it adds to the overall story of where you are in the park. It’s just one more detail that is meant to really show you you’ve “left” the real world and entered a whole other world of adventure in Animal Kingdom that lets you explore new places. There are so many other things like this throughout Animal Kingdom. For example, there’s a quick service spot in the park called Tamu Tamu Refreshments. Did you know that “Tamu” means “sweet” in Swahili? Tamu Tamu Refreshments at Disney’s Animal Kingdom You can find lots of other details just like this sprinkled throughout all the Disney parks. We’ll definitely keep our eyes open for more of them and share them with you, so you can find them the next time you’re there. We’d be SHOCKED if you knew all 25 of these hidden secrets in EPCOT.

After the state of California began distributing COVID-19 vaccinations, Disneyland (which remains closed due to the global health crisis) was chosen as the state’s first mass vaccination site. Disneyland As a result, the Toy Story parking lot at Disneyland opened as a vaccination site in January. However, winter storms across the U.S. have created some problems for the vaccination location. According to NBC Los Angeles, the Disneyland vaccination site is closed and will remain closed at least until Monday. The site uses the Moderna vaccine, which ships from Michigan and Massachusetts, two areas hit hard by recent winter storms that have prevented shipments from going out on time. COVID-19 vaccination tents at the Disneyland Resort ©Jeff Gritchen, Orange County Register/SCNG Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti also announced that Friday vaccination appointments at city sites would also be delayed, but those with appointments could expect to get a text, email, or phone call with more information. As always, we’ll keep you updated when we learn more. NEWS: Anaheim Officials Support Bill to Speed Disneyland’s Reopening Check out more Disneyland Food Reviews Here!!

Okay, we’ve already heard a TON about Disney World’s 50th anniversary today. ©Disney We now know “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” will start on October 1st, 2021 and last for 18 months! We’ve seen how the parks will transform into “Beacons of Light,” and we’ve taken a peek at Mickey and Minnie’s new custom costumes. But with all this exciting news, maybe you missed a small detail: one of the 50th anniversary additions will become PERMANENT. Let’s backtrack.
