Enjoying the typical restaurants, rides, and shops in Disney World is great. But, if there are limited-time events, you’ll want to make sure you know about those and can take advantage of them before they’re gone. Disney Springs Recently, we saw lots of limited-time deals announced for Valentine’s Day. And now another limited-time event is coming to Disney Springs, but this one is for whiskey fans. Recently, The Polite Pig shared via Instagram that guests can join them as they raise a glass in celebration of Bottled in Bond Day on March 3rd at 5PM. © Polite Pig What is Bottled in Bond Day, you ask? Well, according to the Bottled in Bond website, on March 3rd, Congress passed the Bottled in Bond Act. The Bottled in Bond site says this was a “hard-won victory that gave honest-to-goodness whiskey an indisputable mark of authenticity.” The Act was promoted to ensure consistency and quality in bottles of whiskey. The Polite Pig In order to be labeled “Bottled in Bond” a whiskey actually has to meet several requirements. That whiskey must be: The product of one distillation season, from either January to June or July to December; Aged in a warehouse for at least four years; Bottled at 100 proof (U.S.); and Include the distillery at which it was made and bottled on the label. The Polite Pig So, on Bottled in Bond Day, whiskey fans celebrate the Bottled in Bond Act, and the “age-old tradition of making real bourbon whiskey, the hard way.” They also celebrate Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr., who the Bottled in Bond website calls the “Father of the Modern Bourbon Industry” and his role in leading the charge on the Bottled in Bond Act. The Polite Pig There’s even a special toast to celebrate. So, if you love a bottled-in-bond whiskey, it sounds like this would be the perfect celebration for you. The Polite Pig has said that more information regarding their celebration of Bottled in Bond day will be coming soon. We’ll be on the lookout for more updates and let you know what we spot!

We have an exciting update! Big Thunder Mountain Railroad We’ve had a fun time in Magic Kingdom lately trying secret Starbucks drinks, checking out the construction, and yes, even coping with some big crowds. But if you’re in the park and running out of time to finish all your favorite rides, we have good news! While in Magic Kingdom, we got a pop-up on our My Disney Experience app that select attractions would be open until 8:30PM tonight. The park “officially” closes at 8PM, so that’s a whole extra half hour of fun! My Disney Experience screenshot There were no details on exactly which rides would be open, and clicking on the notification just redirected us to our My Disney Experience homepage.

Attention: Dole Whip fans! Aloha Isle You may know how much we LOVE Dole Whip here at DFB. Watermelon Dole Whip, strawberry-chocolate Dole Whip, Dole Whip floats…we’ve tried it all. But when we stopped by Aloha Isle today in Magic Kingdom, we noticed yet another Dole Whip option that we HAVE to tell you about! Okay, first we have to give you some backstory. Remember the Moana-themed Kakamora Float? It debuted for the 2019 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and has disappeared a few times — and then reappeared again! One of the key ingredients in this guy is Coconut Soft-serve. Kakamora Float Well, when Disney brought the Kakamora Float back most recently, the Coconut Soft-serve ended up in a machine adjacent to the Pineapple Soft-serve. So that means what you’re lookin’ at is a Coconut Pineapple Dole Whip Swirl, aka the swirl of our dreams! Coconut Pineapple Dole Whip Swirl We’ve asked for this combo pre-closure, and we were told it wasn’t possible because the Coconut Soft-serve was in its own machine. But now it’s made its debut, in all its Pineapple-Coconut Soft-serve glory! Of course, we should note that the Coconut Soft-serve is technically not Dole Whip, even though we call it that. And you should know it isn’t dairy-free like the Pineapple Soft-serve is! But this sweet snack is HERE for all of us to enjoy, which is pretty great. Coconut Pineapple Dole Whip Swirl So there you have it: your new Dole Whip must-try! It’s $4.99 at Aloha Isle, and it makes a great refreshing treat on a toasty day. We’ll keep you posted with more Disney news here at DFB, so stay tuned. Check Out This Special Sipper for Dole Whip! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

Creating Magic at Home With Walt Disney Imagineering: Snow White’s Enchanted Wish | Disneyland View the full article

You may have tuned in a few weeks ago when we gave you a first look at the reimagined Snow White’s Enchanted Wish at Disneyland park. For many, working from home has become a way of life because of the current environment, and some of our colleagues at Walt Disney Imagineering are no exception. Some Imagineers were able to continue creating many of the attraction’s elements from home, including special effects, lighting, paint work and more.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/PP4HavAgPrg View the full article

Well, there are lots of ways you can bring Disney to your house. Beauty and the Beast Snowglobe Recently, Disney released a whole collection of Beauty and the Beast collection for your house, including a special Enchanted Rose Snowglobe. And while the snowglobe with the red rose is beautiful, there’s actually a different version of this item that is super exclusive to a select group of Disney fans. Being a Disney Visa Cardmember comes with some fun perks including discounts on some items or deals on Disney World hotels. And now Disney Visa Cardmembers can get EXCLUSIVE access to a unique Beauty and the Beast Enchanted Rose Snowglobe. The snow globe is very similar to the red and green one that’s already been released. But, this one is entirely in that golden color. When you shake the snowglobe, golden petals and glitter will float all around. No Beast or prince included (sorry, you’ll have to find that on your own). ©shopDisney This snowglobe is a limited edition of only 1,000 so if it’s something you definitely want to buy, you’ll want to get it online before it’s gone. At $99.99 it is pretty pricey, especially since the regular snowglobe is only $69.99. But, Disney Visa Cardmembers automatically get 10% off of the item, making it $89.99. And it is larger than the regular one and it is an exclusive item. Keep in mind, you will need to be logged into your shopDisney account that is linked to your Visa Membership and you’ll need to pay for it with your Disney Visa Card. But, If you or someone you love is a HUGE Beauty and the Beast fan and you’re looking for a really unique gift for them, this might be a good option. Click here to see Disney’s newest shoe trend!

We spotted some interesting new finds in EPCOT today! Japan Pavilion The World Showcase is home to fun snacks, gorgeous views, and exciting upcoming attractions! But if you take the time to walk around the stores in each country, you’ll find some truly unique items for sale. That’s exactly what we did in the Japan Pavilion today…and it led to a fascinating discovery! We were exploring Mitsukoshi Department Store when we spotted a treat we’ve never seen before: peach rich cakes! Each pack comes with 8 cakes. Peach Rice Cakes As we kept walking, we noticed peach gummy candy for sale, too! It looks super yummy, but we were starting to wonder if there was an emerging pattern. Peach Gummy Candy Then we found a peach-themed book! Peach Boy is an illustrated compilation of Japanese children’s stories. ‘Peach Boy’ Book So we did some digging, and we discovered that Hinamatsuri is on March 3rd! It’s also known as the Peach Festival, and it celebrates the peach blossom season on the lunar calendar. Pretty cool, right? Of course, we’re not positive that’s why all this peachy new merchandise popped up in the Japan Pavilion, but it’s our best guess. Mitsukoshi Department Store We’ll be sure to keep you updated with any other finds in Disney World! Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news and updates.

DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. We’ll be honest: we’re over here scratching our heads, wondering why Disney World has yet to add a Tiana’s Palace restaurant! A Princess and the Frog-themed restaurant was announced as part of the Reflections Resort, but we want Tiana’s Palace right now, Disney! It’s not every day a Disney restaurant presents itself so effortlessly, and with a Princess and the Frog-inspired makeover coming to Splash Mountain, now’s the time to fulfill ALL of our Tiana’s Palace dreams! Princess Tiana While we wait (kinda) patiently for Tiana’s Palace to one day become a reality in Disney World (in the meantime, there is a Tiana’s Place restaurant aboard the Disney Wonder cruise ship), we found some new merchandise over at BoxLunch that will at least help us imagine that the restaurant exists in real life! You could say that the first item up is the shirt of our “gourmet dreams!” This Dip-Dye Long Sleeve T-Shirt is a great way to rep your love for Tiana’s Palace! © BoxLunch The long sleeve t-shirt is available now on BoxLunch’s website for $32.90. Click here to shop for the Dip-Dye Long Sleeve T-Shirt! You can often buy souvenir glassware from your favorite restaurant, so why not buy one from Tiana’s Palace? This Pint Glass features Tiana and says “Stirring things up cajun style.” © BoxLunch This pint glass is also available on BoxLunch’s website for $12.90. Click here to shop for the Tiana’s Palace Pint Glass! Perhaps the idea of Tiana’s Palace is inspiring you to try your hand at cooking yourself! Be sure to stock up on the essentials, like this three piece kitchen set! Take a look at the tiny detail in this kitchen set: the pot holder says Tiana’s Place, which is the name of the restaurant her father imagined. By the end of the movie, it becomes Tiana’s Palace to emphasize her royal title! © BoxLunch You can come up with restaurant dreams of your very own with this set! It’s available on BoxLunch’s website for $19.90. Click here to shop for the Tiana’s Palace three-piece Kitchen Set! Finally, we found another apparel item to rock your support for Tiana’s Palace everywhere you go! This Coach’s Jacket features a logo for the restaurant on the front. © BoxLunch On the back, there’s a large design featuring Tiana and it says “The Best Food in New Orleans!” © BoxLunch If you’re as intrigued by this jacket as we are, you can pick it up on BoxLunch’s website for $59.90 Click here to shop for the Tiana’s Palace Coach’s Jacket! So here’s the plan: we’ll all dress up in our Tiana’s Palace apparel and walk around Disney World. Guests will ask, “Oh, I didn’t realize they opened a Tiana’s Palace restaurant!” And then we’ll say back to them, “They haven’t opened one yet, but would that be awesome?” And then we’ll ALL have the idea in our head, and Disney World will have no choice but open up a new restaurant! That’s how opening a new restaurant works, right? Well, we can just keep dreaming for now! Click here to find out where you can purchase a Princess and the Frog-inspired Loungefly mini backpack!

We LOVE Disney ducks. Disney Ducks Sure, we’re big fans of all the character interactions, attractions, and views around the parks, but can we just agree that the ducks are the REAL star of the show? Well, while out and about in Disney’s Hollywood Studios today, we spotted them being as iconic as always. Two Disney ducks were on a DATE! We found them perched on the fountain in the Muppets Courtyard, admiring the view. How romantic! Disney Ducks Just look at how peaceful their day in the park is! We’re pretty sure they’re people-watching, which is ironic because we’re also staring at them. Oh, to be a Disney duck. We wish these little guys a lifetime of happiness and park days together.

There are a lot of different hotels you can stay at in Disney World, and some are certainly pricier than others. Grand Floridian But, with some good deals and discounts, you might just be able to stay at the hotel of your dreams and still save some money. Now, we found a new deal for guests to take advantage of. But, to qualify to save money on your next stay, you must have already stayed in one of Disney World’s priciest hotels. Huh? We’ll explain. Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is certainly one of the priciest hotels on property. It is a Deluxe resort with walking, boat, and even monorail access to Magic Kingdom, and other features that make it popular (although some consider it to be a bit overrated). If you’ve already taken the plunge, saved up those pennies, and stayed at this pricy spot before, you might actually be able to SAVE money during your next stay. Grand Floridian Some guests who have stayed at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa in the past have started to receive emails telling them about a special rate being offered to guests who book another stay at the Grand. Grand Floridian The email notes that some guests who have stayed at the Grand before may be able to get a special rate to stay there again now through late spring. Grand Floridian and Monorail The email also instructs eligible guests to call a specific number or contact their travel agent and mention the email invitation to see what those special rates are. Grand Floridian Keep in mind, however, this deal may only be available for those who stayed at the hotel fairly recently. The guest who received this discount email from the Grand and shared the info with us last stayed at the hotel in 2017 or 2016. We have only received general information about the deal and don’t have exact details on how recently your prior trip must have been to qualify you for this deal. But, it’s something to be on the lookout for if you have stayed there before. We’ll keep an eye out for more discounts and deals to help you save money during your next Disney trip. Check back with us for all the latest updates. Click here to see a tour of the exclusive Disney World hotel you’ve probably never visited. Our favorite people over at Small World Vacations are ready to help you save time, headaches, and best of all, money, when you book your Disney trip or cruise.

We spent a lovely rainy day at Magic Kingdom. Rain, Rain, Go Away And sure, it was wet, but we didn’t let that stop us from walking around the park to see if we could spot anything new! So here are our rainy day updates! Magic Kingdom Food Updates Main Street Bakery We saw a social media post by Totally the Bomb with a Starbucks recipe for a WandaVision Frappuccino. Like, we would travel all the way to Westview to try that, if we had to! But we were in luck because we could just try it at the Main Street Bakery AKA the Magic Kingdom Starbucks. WandaVision Frappuccino The colors represent the static of an old TV like seen on the series but with those first hints of red! Also, we were totally surprised at how yummy this was! TOTALLY recommend. It’s basically a chocolate, strawberry, raspberry milkshake, and, really, how can you go wrong with that? The custom order cost us $6.27.

OH BOY. If you’ve ever dreamed of having a house that felt like a Disney explosion, do we have the home for you. ©Realtor.com Just a few days ago, we found a beautiful home that could make you part of Disney history for a cool $2.5 million. The home we’re sharing a peek at now is at a MUCH lower price point and looks completely unassuming from the outside. But, believe us when we say it is a TOTALLY different story on the inside. 1542 W. Harle Place, Anaheim, California 92802. That’ll be your future address if you snag this one-of-a-kind Disney home. The Miami Herald shared a peek at this home, but we also went to the Realtor.com website for the property to get a better look. Again, from the outside this home looks like any other house. ©Realtor.com You get just a taste of Disney in some spots, like this bathroom that has Disney soap and some Mickey drawer knobs. Small touches, cute, but nothing big and in your face. ©Realtor.com This bathroom steps it up just a touch with a Mickey and Minnie shower curtain and some details in the window area. But, again, fairly minor in terms of details. ©Realtor.com Visit the house’s backyard and you can see a little bit more of a Disney influence with those Mickey Mouse shapes on the fence. Okay, we’re starting to get somewhere. ©Realtor.com There’s a princess room with some light theming. Again, something any normal house might have. ©Realtor.com The Mickey Mouse room is also fairly tame in terms of theming. ©Realtor.com Then, things go up a couple of notches in the kitchen! You can see the Mickey paper towel holder, Mickey knobs on the cabinets and drawers, exposed Mickey mugs and a tea pot, and more. ©Realtor.com But, that’s NOTHING compared to this play room! Is that a MOCK roller coaster?! And GIANT Mickey shoes, legs, and shorts?!?! Okay, now we’re talking! ©Realtor.com Don’t worry — Mickey’s hands are there in large form too — you can see them at the back of the room. We’re getting some of the same vibes here as we got with Uniqlo’s new Mickey shirt collection. ©Realtor.com Mickey room isn’t enough for you? Okay, how about this Peter Pan room?! The walls are COVERED in a tree and leaf design and there are all kinds of other magical little touches, like the painting on the wall of a pirate ship. ©Realtor.com Head to the living room and you’ve got even MORE Disney theming like that beautiful design on the wall below the Disneyland logo. ©Realtor.com Oh, and there are candy machines and Mickeys everywhere! ©Realtor.com Want to have dinner Alice in Wonderland style? That won’t be a problem with this Mad Tea Party themed dining area. There are pots “pouring” tea hanging from the ceiling, different colored chairs, and even a “Rabbit Hole” with a “looking glass” to another room. ©Realtor.com Here’s a look at this “looking glass” from the other side. ©Realtor.com But, the fun doesn’t stop there! There’s also a whole portion of the wall near the kitchen dedicated to candy dispensers. It’s your very own version of Goofy’s Candy Co.! ©Realtor.com The house was even featured on Discovery Channel’s Monster House. So, if you’re looking for a house in Anaheim, California, just minutes away from Disneyland, and you’ve got around $799,000 just hanging around, this house might be the one for you! ©Realtor.com Or, you could totally take inspiration some of these design ideas and maybe turn your own home into a Mickey Mouse paradise. HELLO giant Mickey shoes and shorts. We’re not really sure if that particular part of the house is creepy or awesome, but we’re going to go with both right now.

Cinderella Castle has seen some changes over the past year or so, but she’s looking better than ever! Cinderella Castle Last February, Disney announced that the castle would be getting a refurbishment. And it did – the moat was drained and the castle received a brand new paint job! And we have to say — the new pink color has grown on us, and it really pops in photos, especially against a gorgeous blue Florida sky. In August, the waters were restored to the moat. But in December, a new permit filed by Disney suggested that work on the castle had only just begun! And earlier this week, we saw a wall of plants blocking part of the castle, behind which were some scrims around the stage in front of the castle. Cinderella Castle Now, though, we’ve noticed that the waters in the moat around Cinderella Castle are lower than normal. Moat getting drained It looks like the moat is getting drained AGAIN! Moat draining Disney World is doing its best to get the park ready for its big 50th anniversary celebration later this year. So Cinderella Castle has to be looking her very best, right? It’s unclear right now what the new work on or around the castle will be, but we’re keeping an eye on it! Moat draining We’re looking forward to seeing what else Disney does in the parks before its birthday (Just sayin’ Disney, you still have time to turn it into a birthday cake again…). And we can’t wait to see all those awesome photos all of you will get to take in front of the castle after its big makeover. Whatever it is THIS time! We’ll be sure to keep you updated!

Guys…we NEED to show you this. Beaches and Cream Soda Shop You may remember that Beaches and Cream Soda Shop at Disney’s Beach Club Resort is no longer serving their super yummy ice cream out of their to go window. That’s all well and good — you can still get your sweet snack inside! But every time we pop back over to this area, we notice the to-go window looks a little…different. Let’s throw it back. When the to-go window first shuttered, the window itself was just closed. Simple enough, right? Beaches and Cream To Go Window Then, Disney got a little fancy with it. They added plants, people! And threw a trash can in front of there for good measure. But that doesn’t even BEGIN to explain how it looks now. Beaches & Cream To-Go Window When we were at Beaches and Cream today, we spotted not one, not two, but SEVEN trees (and a fancy plant on top of the trash can). WHAT is going on here?! Beaches & Cream To-Go Window Of course, the trash can is still there providing a fantastic distraction. Seriously, it looks like it belongs there, right? Nothing suspicious going on at all behind that black screen. Beaches & Cream To-Go Window The finishing touch is clearly that hand sanitizer dispenser. Obviously if someone goes over there to clean their hands, they’ll be so focused they won’t even bother looking at the rest of the wall. We’re nominating the hand sanitizer as the MVP of this whole disguise scheme. Beaches & Cream To-Go Window In all seriousness, though, this display is a HUGE eyesore. And as hard as Disney tries, they’re STILL not hiding the to-go window all that well. We’ll keep checking back to see what new distractions they put out here — and we’ll laugh about them together!

We’ve got a FUN one for you today. Tower of Terror If your favorite Disney character was an attraction, which one would they be? Funny you ask, because we’ve been wondering, too! We feel like we’ve gotten to know them pretty well through interactions and random sightings around the parks, but we trusted YOU, our DFB readers, with this mission. So we asked you on Instagram to compare your favorite characters to Disney World rides! Here’s what you said. Our first ride is Dinosaur! A reader said this classic Animal Kingdom attraction “is Rex’s aspiration, but not his reality.” That made us laugh, but we also feel a little bad for him. Poor guy just wants to be a tough dino! Dinosaur Okay, now let’s head over to Magic Kingdom. We got TWO character comparisons to the Jungle Cruise! One reader said this attraction was just like Marlin from Finding Nemo because “talk about dad jokes much.” We love the puns, but occasionally they can get a little cringeworthy. Jungle Cruise Another reader went with a bit of a different angle. As they put it, “Gaston would be Jungle Cruise. Looks so beautiful on the outside but filled with a lot of hot air! ” We can TOTALLY see both of these! In a battle for the Jungle Cruise, who would you pick? Gaston Next, we hopped a few lands over to the PeopleMover. It may be down for refurbishment, but that didn’t stop it from getting picked on! A reader said this classic attraction is like Sleeping Beauty because “it puts you to sleep.” OUCH. While this ride may be a good place to nap, we’ve got a major soft spot for our beloved highway in the sky. PeopleMover Speaking of picking on rides…a reader compared “it’s a small world” to Dory “because she’s saying the same thing over and over.” That’s fair — we bet she would fit right into this attraction! She would definitely sing “Just Keep Swimming” instead of the classic song, though. “it’s a small world” In EPCOT, we got a pretty solid comparison to Soarin’: Jasmine and Aladdin! Our reader said the ride and characters both “show you the world shining, shimmering, splendid.” Not only is this SO accurate, but now we’ll have A Whole New World stuck in our head for days. Thanks for that one! Soarin’ Meanwhile, a reader compared Lotso Bear from Toy Story to Mission: SPACE! As they put it, both are “two-sided, and one of them is terrifying.” Yikes! Maybe we’ll stay away from both of these. Mission: SPACE Have you ever thought of this one? Yzma from The Emperor’s New Groove could totally be the Tower of Terror! We can already picture her yelling “wrong lever!” as we plummet down 13 stories. Tower of Terror And lastly, the most disappointing ride of all…the Magical Express back to the airport after a GREAT vacation. A reader compared this attraction (the Tragical Express, we might venture to say) to Sadness from Inside Out. Yup, we’re really feeling that one. Magical Express What do you think about all these comparisons? Are there any you would add? We laughed pretty hard reading through these, and they made us think about our favorite attractions in a brand-new way! As always, stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news.

The Disney Skyliner is so much fun! Skyliner It’s become one of our favorite transportation options at Disney World, mostly because of the awesome bird’s eye view we get of Disney World! And we think some of you think so, too — because Disney is always releasing new merchandise with the Skyliner on it, including figures, popcorn buckets, MagicBands. and more! This next line is for the biggest Skyliner stans yet! So it was ONLY a matter of time before Dooney & Bourke released another Skyliner bag collection, right? And now that collection is coming soon to Disney World! This new collection features both a satchel and tote with a sky blue background (of course!) with skyliner gondolas on it flying through silhouettes of the parks. The tote is the larger of the two new bags and has tons of characters park hopping between EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. In the gondolas, you can spot groups of characters like Peter Pan and his Neverland crew and Madame Leota and her happy haunts. Skyliner Dooney & Bourke Tote The satchel has a similar design with even more characters occupying the Skyliner gondolas! It seems like most of the princesses and their crew hopped on this one, including characters from Frozen, Beauty and the Beast, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. We can’t imagine having to take the Skyliner with seven dwarfs in one gondola but here Snow White is doing just that. Skyliner Dooney & Bourke Satchel We found this display at Uptown Jewelers at Magic Kingdom. These go on sale on February 22nd, so if you’re wanting to represent some serious Skyliner love (for a price), you’ll soon have your chance! And if we spot them anywhere else, we’ll be sure to let you know. Disney’s NEW ‘101 Dalmatians’ Dooney & Bourke Collection Is Available Online!

Between the corn dog nuggets, Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bars, Mickey pretzels, and cupcakes, you might think snacking healthy in Disney World is impossible, but that’s not true! BoardWalk Bakery There are quite a few options on property that’ll satisfy your craving for some fruits and veggies. And today we found a SUPER fresh-tasting snack at the BoardWalk Bakery that’s simple, satisfying, and delicious. Today, we stopped by the BoardWalk Bakery, skipped on the (typically delicious) sweet treats, and opted instead for the Tomato Mozzarella Salad. This salad is made of yellow and red grape tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, topped with a side of basil olive oil dressing. Tomato Mozzarella Salad Before we even get into taste we have to discuss the awesome container this salad is served in. The tomatoes and cheese are on the bottom of the cup, while the salad dressing is in a separate container held on the top. Tomato Mozzarella Salad We love this because it means (1) it keeps the tomatoes and cheese fresh as they won’t just be soaking in the dressing for an extremely long period of time, (2) it means you can pour on as little or as much of the dressing as you’d like, and (3) the design overall makes the snack REALLY easy to carry with you — whether that’s back to your room, over to a table, or anywhere else. Tomato Mozzarella Salad But, okay, enough about the cup. Let’s talk about the taste. We are fans of a good cheese pull or some plastic cheese, and this was definitely a TOTALLY different type of cheese but it was also totally delicious. We absolutely LOVED this offering. The salad tasted SUPER fresh, so if you’re looking for that fresh flavor, this is an awesome option for you. Tomato Mozzarella Salad The flavors weren’t overpowering. We felt they balanced each other out well. But. the fresh tomatoes and cheese were definitely the stars of the dish. The olive oil dressing was nice and light and added a good touch of flavor. Tomato Mozzarella Salad Our only complaint about this dish? We wish it had been available here sooner! If you want a fresh side option or you need a snack or mini-meal before a later dinner reservation, we think this could be an awesome option. Tomato Mozzarella Salad If you don’t like tomatoes, cheese, basil, or olive oil, then this isn’t the dish for you. But, otherwise, we think it is a great, fairly healthy, fresh-tasting option. And at $4.49, it was a good value. We also spotted this salad over at the Yacht Club, but it was in a different package that didn’t have that great salad dressing holder at the top. We’ll definitely be on the lookout for more healthy (and some not so healthy) snacks all around Disney World and let you know what we spot!

We’ve been taking full advantage of the return to park hopping at Walt Disney World! Cinderella Castle We love that in the morning we can have Dole Whip for breakfast and then head over to EPCOT to enjoy the Festival of the Arts in the afternoon. In fact, we park hop so much nowadays that we even broke down what we love and hate about its return to Disney for you! While being able to go from park-to-park in one day again has been fun, there was still a ticket option that was missing and will FINALLY be making its return to Disney World next month! In case you forgot, WATER PARKS (well, OK…one of the water parks) reopen in a few short weeks! Beginning March 7th, 2021 (the day Blizzard Beach reopens), Disney will bring back the Park Hopper Plus ticket option. This ticket lets you park hop to multiple parks in one day PLUS visit a variety of other Disney experiences on the same day. ©Disney Not all of the options typically available with the Park Hopper Plus ticket will be open, however. Those listed as “Currently Unavailable” have not reopened at Walt Disney World. BUT, Disney’s Blizzard Beach will reopen on March 7th, making it an option to visit the water park if you purchase the ticket. Blizzard Beach, 2019 Just thought you might like a friendly reminder that, if you’re looking to tackle some of the available extras currently open, you’ll be able to get this ticket again next month!

We’ve seen big crowds in Disney World over the last week. Magic Kingdom Entrance The parks were packed last weekend due to the holiday — we saw some of the biggest crowds since Disney reopened last year! We expected things to slow down a bit as the week progressed, but we were hit with some MAJOR traffic today as we drove to the Transportation and Ticket Center. Traffic was congested far down the road as we drove towards Magic Kingdom. Later, a Cast Member told us that it had been backed up all the way to EPCOT! That’s some crazy crowds. Traffic Near Magic Kingdom As we got closer, signs reminded us that Park Pass reservations were needed to get into the park. Traffic Near Magic Kingdom It took over 15 minutes for us to get to the parking booths, but we made it! Traffic Near Magic Kingdom We managed to snag a pretty sweet parking spot in the Heroes lot, and there was barely any back up as we walked through temperature check and security at the Transportation and Ticket Center. Transportation and Ticket Center But once inside, we hit some crowds again near the ticket windows… Transportation and Ticket Center …and Cast Members encouraged guests to use the buses to get to Magic Kingdom instead of the monorail or ferry boat. While the line for those buses seemed long, it went quickly, and we were on our way to the park in no time! Transportation and Ticket Center These crowds heading into Magic Kingdom are a bit unusual, so we’ll keep you posted while we’re in the park today!
