There are lots of places to shop in Disney Springs, and one of the most unique spots is Uniqlo! Mickey Motifs Collection This Japanese store features some pretty awesome merchandise, including cool Disney collections. In the past, we’ve seen an abstract Alice in Wonderland collection, some pop art Mickey shirts, and even a way to make your own custom shirts! Recently, we spotted a BRAND NEW Disney collection at Uniqlo. Ever wonder what Mickey Mouse dreams about? You’re about to find out! Uniqlo’s new collection is called “Mickey Motifs” and it follows our favorite Mouse through dreamland. In these dreams, Mickey’s shoes, gloves, and even PANTS have decided to secretly move about on their own! Mickey Motifs First, we’ve got the orange shirt from this collection. It’s a really nice, vibrant color and it’s got the phrase “Click Clack” on it, with Mickey’s shoes stomping away on top, and you can see a little shadow of Mickey on the right-hand side. Mickey Motifs Shirt We especially like the little detail on the bottom of this shirt (which is also featured on the other shirts in this collection) which shows Mickey Mouse fast asleep. Mickey is Sleeping! This next shirt really makes it clear that we’ve entered Mickey’s dreams as it says “Like a Dream” on it, but the word “Dream” is formed from Mickey’s gloves. Like a Dream! This shirt is also fun because it has a little detail embroidered on the sleeve — a small callout box with three little Mickey shapes in it. Mickey Motifs Shirt If you’re looking for something to get for someone special in your life, you could get them this next shirt in the collection. Mickey Motifs Shirt It’s got Mickey’s gloves on the front, with the pinkies linked together with a red string in a sort of pinky-promise situation. Around the gloves there’s a box and the words close to it say “You’re my one and only” and “Always happy with you.” AWWWW. Mickey Motifs The back of the shirt is covered in a giant Mickey shape made out of…Mickey’s own gloves. Looks like those gloves have really multiplied out of control! Back of Shirt On the next shirt in the Mickey Motifs collection you can see Mickey peeking out of the pocket as he naps and his dreams manifest below. Mickey Motifs Seems like his iconic gloves, shoes, and shorts are really determined to have some adventures of their own! Mickey Motifs Mickey’s ears and tails are getting in on the action in this next shirt which has Mickey’s name spelled out with all of the iconic pieces of his look spread throughout. Mickey Mouse Shirt On the back, the shirt says “good night, sleep tight!” Mickey Shirt And finally, the last shirt in the collection has a great pocket on the front with Mickey’s shorts, gloves, and shoes making their escape! Mickey Shirt Each of his iconic items are outlined in a fun color, which gives them a really unique look. Mickey Mouse Shirt Overall, we think these shirts are really unique and fun! They’re a great way to add just a touch of magic to your wardrobe. Each of the shirts are priced at $19.90. You can get them right now at Uniqlo in Disney Springs, or you can snag them online on Uniqlo’s website. Click here to see why tiny cakes are taking over Disney Springs!

There’s been a lot of change in Disney World, at Disneyland, and all throughout the Walt Disney Company lately. Disney World This week, the announcements have just kept coming. We’ve got 2 different restrictions or requirements reportedly under consideration that could REALLY impact your travels around the U.S., the closure of a Disney animation studio, the reopening of a Disney park for a super special event, and more. There’s been some BIG news shared this week and we’re sharing all of the most important stuff with you. 1. Soon You Might Need to Take a COVID-19 Test Before Flying in the U.S. Thinking of traveling soon? There are a few things you need to know. First, masks are now required in airports, on airplanes, and on some other forms of transportation. Additionally, COVID-19 testing is required for those flying into the U.S. from international locations. Airplane But, aside from the things that are already in place, there are some potential new things that might be required soon which you need to know about too. Earlier this week, we shared that the U.S. might start requiring COVID-19 testing for domestic flights. So, even if you’re just flying from Missouri to Florida for your Walt Disney World trip, the U.S. might (at some point in the future) require you to get a negative COVID-19 test before you fly. Flight from Orlando As of right now, that ruling has not gone into effect and a negative COVID-19 test is not yet required for domestic travel. But, it is being considered. Click here to learn more about this potential new travel requirement. 2. Domestic Travel Restrictions May Be Under Consideration In addition to considering whether to require COVID-19 testing for domestic flights, the White House is reportedly considering placing restrictions on some domestic travel, including to places like Florida. According to some sources, these restrictions are being considered due to the spread of COVID-19 variants and the concern that this spread might reverse the progress that’s already been made in fighting the pandemic. Welcome to Disney World! Cases of the U.K. COVID-19 variant have already appeared in Florida, including in Orange County (where Disney is located). In fact, the U.K. variant now accounts for 15% of new cases in Florida and is spreading rapidly there. COVID-19 Testing Site at WDW Maingate Complex But, one White House spokesperson has now noted that while the administration is discussing recommendations, “no specific decisions are under consideration.” Click here to learn more about the domestic travel restrictions reportedly being considered. 3. Special Event INSIDE Disney California Adventure Park Coming Soon! The Disneyland Resort theme parks have been closed for nearly a year now. Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure Park has reopened for some limited shopping and dining. But, soon the ENTIRE Disney California Adventure Park will be open for a special, limited-time ticket event. Pixar Pier in Disney California Adventure Guests will be able to enjoy special food and drink offerings from around Disneyland Resort and get the chance to walk around California Adventure. BUT the experience will NOT include attractions. We don’t have too many details about this special event yet, but we’ll share more with you once we do. Click here to see more about the special ticketed event! 4. Disney is Closing One of Their Animation Studios When Disney acquired 20th Century Fox and its associated studios, tons of new divisions became part of the over-arching Walt Disney Company, including Blue Sky Studios. Blue Sky Studios was 20th Century Fox’s animation division which created films like Ice Age. ©Blue Sky Studios Additionally, the upcoming Blue Sky film Nimona, which was set to be released next year, will be halted and will not be released. According to a spokesperson, this closure is due to the economic situation caused by the global pandemic. Click here to see more about this studio closure! 5. The Future of Masks in the Parks, Park Capacity, and More Recently, we got to hear from several Disney executives regarding the financial results from Disney’s first quarter for the fiscal 2021 year. Disney shared their billion-dollar deficit over the most recent period due largely to COVID-19 restrictions and park closures. Disney also noted that they are still operating in Disney World at 35% capacity. According to Bob Chapek, Disney’s CEO, their ability to increase capacity or potentially open some of their closed parks around the world will really depend on vaccine distribution. Magic Kingdom During the last earnings call, Disney also confirmed that Avengers Campus is set to open in 2021, but Disneyland is expected to remain closed at least through the end of March. In terms of face masks, Chapek also noted that masks are expected to be required in Disney World through 2021. Festival of the Arts Mask Those are some big updates that could impact your future trips to Disney World or Disneyland, or just give you a better idea of what to potentially expect. Click here to see the losses Disney recently reported. Aside from Disney parks updates, we also got an update on the number of Disney+ subscribers, which now is OVER 94 million! That’s a LOT of people subscribed to the service! Disney+ Logo ©Disney And those are some of the biggest stories shared this week. Wondering what other new things have happened recently? Well, the Leave A Legacy display has returned in a new, colorful way to EPCOT. This week, the first Taste of EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival topiaries and garden also appeared. Just a few days ago, we got a peek at the Star Wars hotel from the sky; and we developed a Nutella waffle and ice cream food hack that you will definitely want to try. AND we got new trailers for Raya and the Last Dragon and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Nutella Waffle Hack You know we’ll be keeping an eye out for new updates all throughout this upcoming week and we’ll be sharing it all with you. Come back to DFB for all the latest Disney updates!

We’ve been enjoying all kinds of awesome art, delicious food, and unique performances at the Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. Festival of the Arts One of the best things to do at this festival is stop by all of the individual booths featuring incredibly talented artists, some of which have awesome Disney-inspired creations. Recently, we spotted a special Disney-inspired creation that’s truly the ultimate seek-and-find adventure. If you love hunting for hidden Mickeys and other tiny Disney details, then you’re going to LOVE this piece of art. The artwork is titled Magical Reflection and was created by artist Greg McCullough. For starters, it’s a gorgeous piece of art. The side view of the Castle is stunning, the colors are beautiful, and the reflection of the castle in the water, along with all of the clouds and trees are amazing. It’s the type of art you’d love to buy and hang in your house or office just as it is. But, this art is SO MUCH MORE. Magical Refection Hidden in this piece are actually 50(!!) hidden Mickeys AND 21 opening day icons! It’s your own unique way to force your friends and family to search for hidden Mickeys even when they’re not in Disney World. And truly, these details are expertly hidden in the painting. We have a feeling it could take you quite a while to find them all! Hidden Details! How many hidden Mickeys and opening day icons can you spot in the photo below? Perhaps the most obvious one is the horse from the Carousel in the center of the photo. Hidden Detail! It truly is an amazing piece of artwork and a fantastic gift to give to any Disney fan (or gift to yourself #treatyourself). But, this isn’t McCullough’s first time adding some hidden details in his Disney art. In 2018, McCullough also did a really unique piece for EPCOT which contains 13 country icons from World Showcase AND 35 Hidden Mickeys. Check it out below! ©Greg McCullough | Disney If you want to check out Greg McCullough’s work at the Festival of the Arts, be sure to stop by the booth with his artwork.

It’s a day of celebration… Happy Lunar New Year! Earlier today, a special video message from Disney Shanghai Resort was shared in honor of the occasion. Lunar New Year Minnie Ears And now, we’ve got another Lunar New Year greeting for you… and this one is a culinary greeting from the chefs at Hong Kong Disneyland who have shared a version of Lo Hei, a “prosperity toss salad” that YOU can make as well, thanks to this Disney Recipe!

Starting in 2021 we’ve seen a new trend by Walt Disney World for their Military Salute Room Reservations.

It’s almost February 14th, and we’re STILL trying all the Valentine’s Day snacks in Disney World. Everglazed We’ve tasted lots of treats so far: cupcakes, cookie sandwiches, coffee…you name it, we’ve probably tried it. But of course, we’re not finished yet! We’re back today with a coffee and donut from Everglazed Donuts and Cold Brew. This Disney Springs spot is still new to town, but we’re already loving their unique (and delicious!) options. Let’s start off with that coffee! The Valentine’s Cold Brew is cold brew coffee with chocolate syrup and strawberry purée, topped with whipped cream and heart sprinkles. It looked SO pretty and tasted great, too! Valentine’s Cold Brew The chocolate, strawberry, and coffee all paired really nicely together. It wasn’t as sweet as some Starbucks drinks we’ve had — the coffee taste was still prominent, and the strawberry flavor wasn’t overwhelming. Plus, we were BIG fans of the heart-shaped sprinkles. It is almost Valentine’s Day, after all! Valentine’s Cold Brew If you’re into chocolate or mocha coffees, this may be a must-try for you! If you don’t like any strawberry flavor, we wouldn’t recommend. Overall, we really enjoyed this one! It costs $6.50. Valentine’s Cold Brew Next, we tried the Sweet Heart Donut. It’s a heart-shaped plain glazed donut with strawberry icing, fun sprinkles, and a strawberry buttercream frosting dollop. Just LOOK at that sprinkle overload! Sweet Heart Donut We found the strawberry flavor in both the icing and frosting to be SUPER subtle. Since it’s advertised as a strawberry donut, we were surprised that taste wasn’t more pronounced. Sweet Heart Donut Even without the strong strawberry flavor, though, we really liked this donut. It wasn’t too sweet, and the decorations are fun if you’re looking for a well-themed Valentine’s Day treat! It was $5.50. Sweet Heart Donut Both of these treats are solid options if you’re looking for a seasonal snack. We’ll keeping trying all the Valentine’s Day food in Disney World and let you know what you think!

Disney has quite a few attractions that will be closed next week! Disney’s Art of Animation Resort Here at DFB, we’re keeping you posted on every Disney refurbishment so you know what to expect when you visit. Let’s take a look at everything that will be closed from February 15th through February 21st, 2021! Magic Kingdom Refurbishments Hall of Presidents The Hall of Presidents is a show that features every United States president in the form of an animatronic. Every time a new president is elected, the attraction will close for refurbishment so the new addition — President Joe Biden, in this case — can be installed. The Hall of Presidents The attraction closed this January, and no reopening date has been announced yet. We’ll let you know as soon as it is! Get More Details About the Hall of Presidents’ Refurbishment! Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover The PeopleMover has been closed since spring 2020.

We recently saw the attraction being tested, so we hope we’ll all get to ride our favorite highway in the sky again soon! Read More About the PeopleMover’s Closure! Walt Disney World Railroad The Walt Disney World Railroad remains closed while TRON: Lightcycle Run construction continues. The iconic train has been shuttered since December 2018 — that’s over 2 years! TRON Construction We’re not sure how much longer we’ll have to wait, either. TRON construction will likely have to make some hefty progress before the train can reopen — and it may not be finished until 2022. We’ll let you know as we receive more updates! Check Out the Main Street, U.S.A. Train Station’s New Look! Animal Kingdom Refurbishments Kali River Rapids Kali River Rapids has been closed for refurbishment since early January 2020.

EPCOT Refurbishments Rose and Crown Dining Room Rose and Crown Dining Room in EPCOT’s United Kingdom pavilion will be closing for refurbishment on February 15th.

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort In addition, Kiki Tikis Splash Play Area is closed for refurbishment. Kiki Tikis is expected to reopen in March 2021, while the rest of the resort should be transformed by this summer. Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Some resort pools are also undergoing changes. The Paddock Pool waterslide at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa and the Big Blue Pool at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort are both being refurbished.

Valentine’s Day is this Sunday, and if you’re in Disney World this weekend, there are plenty of limited-time snacks and goodies to check out! We’ve already tried A Valentine Swirl and the Red Hot Cinnamon Cupcake (among MANY others) but now we’re on the lookout for a specialty beverage to wash it all down! Rose Rosé Whether you’re celebrating the holiday with your special someone or with your group of closest pals, Disney’s Animal Kingdom is serving a limited-time cocktail at Nomad Lounge as well as Tiffins to commemorate Valentine’s Day! We stopped by Nomad Lounge to check out the Rose Rosé, available just this weekend from February 12 through 14! Rose Rosé And, if you’ll pardon the pun, the presentation is truly… well, lovely. Rose Rosé This beverage is a mixture of vodka, single estate rye, simple syrup, rose water, and rosé brut. A sparkling gold chocolate heart and a strawberry provide the pretty garnishes. Rose Rosé The beverage was bursting with bubbles from the rosé brut, and the entire drink was quite sweet with the addition of the simple syrup to the sweet brut champagne. Rose Rosé The hint of flavor from the rose water was present, but very light. Overall, this sweet, sparkling sip is a truly fun and delightful glass to raise in celebration of Valentine’s Day, especially for rosé champagne lovers! Rose Rosé AND here’s our PRO TIP: At Nomad Lounge, you can get this drink to go! When we arrived, the wait was 75 minutes, so we walked up to the bar (after the hostess said it was okay to do so) and ordered up our beverage. The Rose Rosé is $16.00. If you’re in Animal Kingdom this weekend and are curious to try this drink for yourself, swing by Nomad Lounge or make a reservation for a Valentine’s Day dinner at Tiffins! Be sure to follow along all weekend long as we try all of the limited-time Valentine’s Day treats around Disney World!

We spent a wonderful day in EPCOT yesterday! EPCOT And we have to say, we found something that BOGGLED our minds. There’s a souvenir that seems borderline magical and we DON’T understand how it works! Plus, we spotted some other updates too. Here’s the latest news! EPCOT Food Updates Canada Pavilion Joffrey’s First up, let’s talk about some less-mind-boggling updates like this new pastry case at the Canada Pavilion Joffrey’s! Those treats look extra tasty in their spiffy new spot. New Pastry Case Eats at the EPCOT Experience Over at Eats at the EPCOT Experience, there were TWO new beers. We had the options of a Mana Wheat from Maui Brewing Co. and Unibroue’s Ephemere Pomme. Unibroue Ephemre Pomme We gave the Unibroue’s Ephemere Pomme and it was pretty darn tasty. Click here for our FULL REVIEW of one of the new beers! EPCOT Construction Updates Italy Pavilion Italy brought a surprise for us today with a TON of flowers laid out on the stage area in the middle of the pavilion. A LOT of flowers in Italy! We’re thinking these flowers are for the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival that kicks off soon, but there’s NO garden listed that seems to go with these blooms. Well, they sure are pretty! Want to see more of the surprise flowers? Click here! EPCOT Merchandise Updates Mitsukoshi Department Store Okay, enough about all of that. We’re going to show you a very surprising item and we’re not quite sure how it works! We spotted this pretty Cherry Blossom Vase in the Japan Pavilion. But, here’s the catch, it’s FLAT. Mitsukoshi Vase Basically, if you add water to this vase it expands and becomes structurally sound enough to hold up your latest crop of flowers. WHAT? We’re imagining like, a Capri-Sun pouch but we feel like that would fall over? It’s SUPER cool that this vase holds its shape enough, even if we don’t quite understand the design that makes it possible! Plus, it’s reusable!

Planning a Disney wedding or looking for a few ways to sneak some Disney into your special day? Well, Disney has recently released quite a few things that might be perfect for you! Castle Cake Topper We’ve seen a beautiful Castle Cake topper, Mr. & Mrs. mugs, a serving set, toasting glasses, new Wedding ears and more. But that’s not all — Disney has also released a whole new line of princess-inspired wedding dresses. We got a peek at some yesterday, but today we got to see them ALL! Disney’s Fairytale Weddings has once again worked with Allure Bridals to release a whole new collection of Disney princess-inspired wedding gowns. During today’s Disney Weddings virtual event we got a peek at these magical creations. As part of this release, there are 14 new dresses for Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings Collection. First, there’s a beautiful Cinderella Gown with an off-the-shoulder detail. This dress features ice blue tulle ruched across the bodice and waistline, framed by sequins and beads. ©Disney Then, there’s the Belle inspired gown. This dress has an embroidered lace overlap on top of the tulle gown and an illusion back! ©Disney If you’re looking to shimmer and shine, then you’ll LOVE the Ariel inspired gown. It’s got a little bit of a flared train to make you feel like you’ve got fins of your own, and it is covered in tons of sequins! ©Disney Looking for a look inspired by Tiana? There’s a dress for that too! The Tiana gown has shimmering appliqués all over it with heavy beadwork that’s meant to look like gowns from the Jazz Age. You’ll really get a fun, but vintage look with this gown. ©Disney Found your prince and ready to float off on a magic carpet ride? Then you might love the Jasmine dress. This one has a beaded bodice, a lightweight chiffon skirt (with hidden POCKETS!!!) and an illusion back too. ©Disney If you wear the Snow White-inspired dress just be sure to not serve any apples at your wedding (just in case). The ballgown dress has a bouquet of “apple” blossoms on the bodice that cascade down the skirt and then cluster at the hemline. ©Disney The Aurora dress has a really nice off-the-shoulder look with a sequined, floral lace bodice and subtle A-line style. There’s also exposed boning on the back to add an extra special touch. ©Disney You might want to wear shoes for your wedding (unlike Rapunzel), but you CAN wear a Rapunzel-inspired dress with some seriously gorgeous details. This dress has shoulder lace cap sleeves, but it’s most special feature is the dual illusion capes! Yes, we know Edna Mode says “no capes” but your wedding day might be just the time to make an exception! ©Disney Want to paint with all the colors of the wind at your wedding? Then, you’ll love the Pocahontas dress! This dress has leaf appliqués all along the bodice and outlining the sheer illusion back and sleeves. It’s that perfect touch of nature. ©Disney As if one Cinderella dress wasn’t enough, there’s a SECOND Cinderella dress in the “regular” collection. This one is an A-line gown that has scrollwork on it inspired by the details of Cinderella’s carriage! It also has sparkling diamond tulle so you’re sure to shine on your special day. ©Disney There’s also a SECOND Snow White gown in this “regular” collection that looks very similar to the first one but has some differences, including MUCH heavier use of the appliqués. We’re fairly certain the model in the photo below is wearing this second design… ©Disney …but here’s another picture of it from the website just to give you a clearer view since her dress was slightly obscured by some of the plants in the chapel. ©Disney If you prefer to spend your days reading and want a dress inspired by a princess who does the same — then the SECOND Belle dress might be for you. This ballgown is strapless and has a rose pattern on it, along with soft pickups in the parking tulle. You’ll look as beautiful as an enchanted rose! ©Disney If you like modern, mermaid silhouettes, then you might love this SECOND Ariel Dress. It’s got a little bit of shimmer to it and some beautiful beadwork to add an extra touch of fun. ©Disney Finally, the last dress in the “regular” collection is this second one inspired by Jasmine. This dress has an off-the-shoulder neckline, crystal embroidery, a cut away lace train, and an illusion back. ©Disney Just to give you another view, here’s a look at the photos of the dresses from the Disney Fairy Tale Weddings website. ©Disney You can see them all there, click on them to view more photos, including photos of the backs of the dresses, and get more information about them. ©Disney Okay, and now we move on to the next collection. As part of this release, 7 new gowns were also made for Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings Platinum Collection. The Platinum Collection Cinderella gown is a strapless ballgown embellished with silver embroidery and crystals. All you need to finish this look is your very own pair of glass slippers and a carriage! ©Disney The Platinum Collection Belle Dress has a very romantic look to it with the illusion sleeves and floral appliqués. It’s also got rose appliqués, crystals, and sequins, and a lace-up corset back with crystal buttons!! ©Disney The Platinum Collection Ariel Gown looks like a mixture between mermaid fins and ocean waves. It’s covered in sea inspired pearls, crystals, glass beads, and sequins. Talk about a lot of sparkles! ©Disney The Platinum Collection Tiana Dress is a 1920’s Platinum ‘sheath’ gown with florals and vine appliqués that shimmer and shine, as well as an organza overskirt (which is detachable!!). That’s a great way to get 2 very different looks out of just 1 dress. ©Disney As for the Platinum Collection Jasmine dress, it’s made out of a stretch fabric with silver embroidery and crystals that go down the waist and hips, all leading to an illusion train. ©Disney The Platinum Collection Snow White dress is a beautiful ballgown with embroidered lace, seed beads, crystals, and “apple” blossoms that are scattered throughout the tulle. On the back of the dress there’s also a LARGE organza bow! ©Disney And finally, the last dress in the Platinum Collection is this Aurora-inspired gown. The dress has beaded lace appliqués and the neckline is meant to be reminiscent of Aurora’s own silhouettes. ©Disney Here’s a full peek at all of the Platinum Collection dresses. ©Disney Generally, these dresses come in sizes 0-30 and some have different colors available. They start at $1,200. The traditional Fairy Tale Weddings Dress collections will be available in select boutiques in U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, the U.K. and the Republic of Ireland, but the Platinum Collection will be available available exclusively at Kleinfeld in New York and Toronto. If you’re planning a wedding or just looking at wedding dresses to pin to your Pinterest wedding plans board, be sure to check these out!

Disney World is the Most Magical Place on Earth, right? Big Thunder Mountain in Disney World Well, it’s not always all pixie dust and Mickey ears. Some of Disney World’s rides are proper thrill rides and they warn you about it in their very names — hello, Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. You don’t exactly walk onto that one expecting rainbows and sunshine. But, other rides seem completely kid-friendly from the outside and then BAM! You get on the ride and suddenly you’re hit with a rather terrifying and totally unexpected surprise. Here are the attractions that we didn’t think would be scary…until it was too late. As they say, there’s no going back now. Journey Into Imagination with Figment Journey Into Imagination with Figment has been an EPCOT staple since 1983. It has gotten quite a few refurbishments and gone through a variety of iterations, but (for now) it is focused on giving guests a tour of the sensory labs. Over the past few years, Figment has really become a park icon, and is now often featured on ALL kinds of EPCOT Festival merchandise. But, the journey into the labs and Figment’s imagination is actually packed with some terrifying surprises. Journey Into Imagination With Figment The attraction itself is a slow-moving dark ride through the Imagination Institute. Dr. Channing, one of the lab employees, takes you room-to-room as you explore the various senses. But (of course) Figment comes along and stirs up a bit of trouble. Figment With a cute little purple dragon and colorful designs all around the outside and inside of this attraction, you might think the ride will consist of a cute song, fun animatronics, and some cool effects. And that’s all true — BUT it’s also got some really frightening parts. In the sound lab, the room gets extremely dark and there’s a loud train sound. In the smell lab, guests are sprayed with a rather horrifying “skunk” smell. Smell Lab But the scariest part actually comes near the end. Near the conclusion of your journey through imagination, Figment puts on a big finale that can be a little scary for kiddos and adults alike! As your car moves into the last room, the lights go dark and when Figment says “Imagination is a BLAST!” a rather strong gust of air is blown at you to reveal a colorful land of celebration. If you don’t know it’s coming and especially if you’re sitting in the front row, it can be pretty frightening. Even those who know it’s coming might find themselves closing their eyes and wincing in anticipation. 2020 Flower and Garden Festival It can be hard to fully enjoy Figment’s rendition of “One Little Spark” after that terrifying burst. But now YOU know it’s coming, so brace yourself and won’t be fooled by that cute little dragon! It’s Tough To Be A Bug! 3-D and 4-D shows — they seem pretty harmless, right? I mean, all you do is sit down and enjoy a fun movie with cute tricks. No height requirements, no loops, no fast movements. How scary can it be? Well, if we’re talking about It’s Tough To Be a Bug in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, it can be very, very, very scary. This show is themed to A Bug’s Life and takes guests through a special bug presentation. It’s Tough to Be a Bug To be fair, the attraction’s entrance sign does warn the this is a “creepy crawly bug-eyed adventure.” But, we don’t think that really does it justice. As you approach the theater, you get some spectacular views of the Tree of Life and all kinds of beautiful vegetation. You go inside and become an “honorary bug” with your 3-D glasses. And the show starts all fine and nice with Flik and his friends. It’s Tough To Be a Bug And then boom — GIANT spiders everywhere! They may not be real spiders, but let us assure you they can be pretty terrifying. But, that’s not all, during parts of the show, the beautiful seat you sat on will horribly betray you! Parts of the seats create simulations to make you feel like you’re being stung by hornets, crawled on by bugs, and more! Let’s just say, many a child has walked out of here a little less than happy. Tough to be a Bug If you don’t like bugs, be warned — this is probably not a good attraction for you. And even if you can stand a few bugs, you might want to sit forward (with your back not touching the back of the seats) and pick your feet up so the bugs can’t get you! Dinosaur Another ride at Disney’s Animal Kingdom that can unexpectedly scare the pants off of you is Dinosaur. In this ride, you’ll join forces with a paleontologist to go back in time and extract a very specific dinosaur. But, of course, you’re not sent back during a calm period of the past. No, no, you’re sent back VERY CLOSE to the time when something major happened. What’s that massive historical event you dive right into? Oh, just the time when a giant meter wiped out life on earth…no big deal. Dinosaur You might be saying “okay, so it’s got a dinosaur in front and some exploding stuff on the sign, that’s warning enough that it’ll be frightening.” And yes, there is a certain amount of adventure and excitement that you already expect going in, but the intensity of this attraction (among other things) is what could both delight and terrify you! Plexiglass Barrier on Dinosaur You will quite literally be bouncing around like loose change through an EXTREMELY dark pre-historic jungle full of dinosaurs. Plus, let’s not forget that incoming meteor shower! Let’s just say, it can get a BIT stressful. And to top it all off you’ll have a rather close encounter with a giant T-Rex. And yes, you know it’s not real but for just a split second, you might just forget. Dinosaur It’s intense, it’s dark, and it’s full of scary creatures. It might be especially frightening for little ones, so watch out! Stitch’s Great Escape So, yes, Stitch’s Great Escape is now closed at Magic Kingdom, but it served up so much terror that it still deserves mentioning. You might think “Stitch, he’s cute, I liked the movie he’s in, I’ll ride his ride because it can’t be that scary.” But, that was not the case! Stitch’s Great Escape replaced the even more terrifying ExtraTERRORestial Alien Encounter at Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom. In both attractions, guests sat in a round theater while an alien escaped from its captors. Stitch’s Great Escape ©Disney LOTS of the ride was spent in near TOTAL darkness while water effects, sounds, and other interactive elements from the show were put into play, making you feel like Stitch was walking around, spitting, and oh yeah, burping near you (yuck). Let’s just say that if you didn’t really know what this ride was getting you into, you could be in for quite a few tears from your kiddo afterward. All these unsuspecting rides serve up a good thrill (or more appropriately put, terror) at Disney World. If you haven’t already ridden these rides, now you know a bit of what to expect. Moral of the story: looks can be deceiving — just because it’s cute, doesn’t mean it can’t be scary too! But scary doesn’t mean bad — it can be great to get a good thrill in and these rides can certainly provide that! 9 of the SCARIEST Rides in Disney World According to Our Readers!
