Disney is preparing to lay off as many as 1,000 positions in the next few weeks, the Wall Street Journal has reported. Walt Disney Studios People familiar with the matter advised that many of the cuts will be in the company’s recently consolidated marketing department, marking one of the first notable moves under Josh D’Amaro, the new Chief Executive Officer. According to the Wall Street Journal, Disney has been trying to adjust to the smaller profits it earns from streaming compared to what the company used to make from linear television, in addition to diminished box office sales and competition from tech companies like Amazon and YouTube. Disney is reportedly also trying to free up money to invest in other digital businesses where growth potential may be present. ©Disney | Walt Disney Company Headquarters Disney has laid off more than 8,000 people since former CEO Bob Iger returned in 2022 and initiated the company’s massive restructuring efforts. The upcoming layoffs were planned before D’Amaro took over, according to people with knowledge about the upcoming cuts. Kermit, Miss Piggy, and Josh D’Amaro at the 2023 Destination D23 fan convention. ©Disney At the end of fiscal year 2025, Disney employed 231,000 people, with around 80% working in the experiences division, including theme parks and consumer products. A majority of these layoffs have occurred in the entertainment, ESPN, and corporate operations, while theme parks and the cruise line have continued to grow. Walt Disney Company Headquarters ©LA Times Recently, Sony Pictures, Paramount, and Warner Bros. Discovery have cut staff, with more layoffs expected for Paramount if and when the company closes its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. ©Warner Bros. Disney has been consolidating operations to cut costs and coordinate its efforts across divisions, especially online. The company combined marketing for entertainment, experiences, and sports under one chief marketing officer, Asad Ayaz, for the first time this past January. Ayaz’s plan to reduce expenses and unify the marketing team is reportedly code-named Project Imagine. Walt Disney Company Headquarters in Burbank The House of Mouse is also working on combining Disney+ and Hulu staff as it continues its efforts to merge both brands into one app interface. Bain & Co. has been consulting with Disney to help strategize its cost-cutting. ©Disney As of now, D’Amaro has not presented specific plans for reshaping Disney since taking over, but people close to the company said that one of his priorities is having different divisions collaborate more efficiently and quickly, with employees fearing layoffs would be part of those plans. Josh D’Amaro at Destination D23, 2023 ©Disney It’s not clear exactly when these layoffs will happen, but we’ll be on the lookout for more updates and the latest news you need to know about The Walt Disney Company.

We heard you, Partners 🤠 Big Thunder Mountain re-opens at #MagicKingdom on May 3rd! 🗓️View the full article

Who doesn’t love eating their way around World Showcase? And the cool thing is that you can get food and drinks OUTSIDE of each pavilion’s restaurants. Many of the pavilions have shops that also feature snacks and drinks from their host countries, too! Frozen Wafer Sandwich Well, one of our favorite spots to shop for such snacks is at Mitsukoshi in the Japan Pavilion. Here, you’ll find LOADS of Japanese treats, and well, we just found some new frozen treats that we HAD to try, although one was actually sweet potato-flavored. Let’s take a look at these treats, and we’ll give you our honest thoughts. You’ll find these new frozen treats available at Mitsukoshi for $3.99 each. So let’s start with the Wafer Frozen Treats we found, including the Matcha Frozen Wafer Sandwich. We’ll admit that our thoughts are mixed on this treat. The wafer exterior is much softer than we would’ve liked. We expected some crunch, but didn’t get it. It’s like a sugar cone that’s been sitting out all day. Matcha However, the matcha ice cream filling has a strong, earthy flavor that makes it unique, but it’s also a little bitter (and, well, matcha is generally an acquired taste, to begin with). There is a thin chocolate coating inside the wafer that helps sweeten it up, but it’s not spread very evenly, so you don’t get it in every bite. It’s matcha, for sure Next up, we tried the Strawberry Frozen Wafer Sandwich. Now, this one was an instant hit with us and is probably our favorite of all the ice cream sandwiches we tried. The strawberry flavor comes through really well. However, the wafer texture was still a little too soft for our liking. Strawberry This one also melted pretty quickly, so if you get it, you’ll want to eat it fast. Our favorite! The Vanilla Frozen Wafer Sandwich is probably our second favorite of these treats. You’ve got a nice vanilla flavor that even kids will like. We also thought the chocolate coating on this one was better distributed, so you also got a bit of that in each bite. This wafer lasted longer than the others…for some reason, it didn’t melt as fast. Vanilla Overall, we think this is the treat to get here if you’ve got picky eaters in your group. This one is a kid-pleaser. Our second favorite Finally, we tried the Sweet Potato Frozen Wafer Sandwich. Now, this one was a little different from the others. The wafer had very little flavor and was way too chewy. It was less like a crunchy wafer and more like something else. The sweet potato flavor is very plain and earthy, like a baked sweet potato without any additional butter or sweetness. This was a sort of savory frozen treat. Even the small bits of chocolate coating on the inside didn’t help balance out that flavor. Sweet Potato This one also melted faster than the others…it was already turning into goo by the time we opened it. This texture made it really difficult to eat as a handheld treat. It was more like soup, and the filling pretty much separated from the wafer. All the filling melted out We’ll be trying even MORE new snacks in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more. If you plan on visiting Disney World and don’t want to miss out on all the great snacks, we’ve got JUST what you need. You see…we’ve tried every snack you can FIND all over Disney World, and we’ve put together details about every single one in our Disney World Snacks Guide.

I never thought I’d be the person writing about a backpack accessory, but here we are. VentaPak in Disney World Florida heat is no joke, and if you’ve ever spent a full park day hauling a loaded bag through Magic Kingdom in July, you know exactly what I mean. Your back is soaked, your shoulders are screaming, and by 3 PM you’re reconsidering every decision you’ve ever made. There’s one strange little gadget I’ve been using for months that has genuinely changed that experience for me, and I’d feel guilty not telling you about it. DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. My Back Has Never Forgiven Me for Taking This Off A larger backpack Here’s the thing about wearing a big backpack at Disney World: the bag sits flush against your back, trapping heat and cutting off any airflow for hours at a time. By the end of the day, it’s not just sweat you’re dealing with, it’s genuine back and shoulder pain from carrying that weight straight down your spine for ten-plus hours. The VentaPak Lightweight Ventilation Backpack Spacer fixes both of those problems, and I say that as someone who was deeply skeptical when I first saw it. VentaPak Lightweight Ventilation Backpack Spacer It’s a reinforced aluminum frame with a breathable mesh design that attaches to your existing bag and creates a gap between your back and the backpack. That gap lets air circulate, which means significantly less sweat on your back. The aluminum frame also redistributes the weight of your bag from pressing straight down to a more horizontal, ergonomic position, which takes a surprising amount of strain off your shoulders. I wore it for months without thinking much about it, then took it off for a day trip and immediately regretted it. I left it off again today, and I’m paying for it. Look at that air flow! At $45, it’s on the pricier side for an accessory like this, but the quality is genuinely there. A few things to know going in: you’ll need to tighten your straps for it to work properly, which can make the bag a little harder to get on and off throughout the day. You might also find you’re trading back sweat for some armpit sweat since the straps sit more snugly. It also looks a little unusual, and I’ve been asked about it at security more than once. But my back didn’t ache at the end of the day, and my shirt was significantly drier than usual, so I’ll take the weird looks. VentaPak Lightweight Ventilation Backpack Spacer If you’ve got back problems or you’re the designated bag carrier for your whole family, this one is genuinely worth it. Take a look before your next park trip. view ON amazon Not every Disney hack is a game-changer, but this one surprised me. The VentaPak isn’t flashy and it isn’t glamorous, but it solves two real problems that make long park days genuinely harder: back sweat and shoulder pain. If either of those things has ever ruined the back half of a Disney day for you, this is worth your attention. It won’t make your bag weightless, and it won’t stop the Florida heat from doing what Florida heat does, but it makes a measurable difference in comfort over a long day on your feet.

Days spent at Disney World can be long, hot, and tiring, but carrying the right bag around in the parks can make or break your day. ODODOS Daily Sling Bag We love the idea of crossbody bags because while they can keep our hands free (for all the Disney snacks), they help distribute the weight across our bodies. These bags can hold our essentials, such as sunscreen, phones, wallets, and more. Here are four of the best crossbody bags for your next Disney World day. DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission.

We’ll let you know right now, it’s definitely worth the money. The bag is small but somehow SO roomy. Easy to organize! There are 3 pockets to use — a main pocket, a smaller inner pocket that doesn’t zip, and a tiny front pocket. The straps are also adjustable, and there’s a small pocket on the back. The biggest pro to the bag is feeling like we can carry everything we need, have extra room, and the fact that we’re not lugging around a giant bag. view ON AMAZON We love this Shoulder Sling Bag ©Amazon This Eddie Bauer bag has a large main compartment with an interior organization panel that keeps gear neatly arranged. Plus, it has a zip pocket on the strap that fits any smartphone or small essentials for quick access.

Uh…no one told us this should be something to worry about when traveling to Florida! Princess Atta We recently saw a report from NEWS 6 that you’re going to want to keep your distance from a fuzzy-looking caterpillar. They dropped some info on why you do NOT want to touch these little creatures. We’re passing that information on to you in case you run into them on your next Disney World vacation! If looking at pictures of bugs is something you can’t handle, we’re just giving you a warning that we are going to show you the Tussock moth caterpillar. You’ll find these little creatures in places like structures, trees, and more elevated spots as they look for places to have their cocoons. ©Davey Tree You do not want to touch these guys, or you might develop a rash! If you’re in a situation where you have to move them, it’s recommended that you wear gloves or use an object like a business card to move them. Just make sure you avoid direct contact. ©Universal Images “They have little spines on them that can break off into your skin, causing irritation. They look like little brushes along their back, but those are the ones you don’t want to come into contact with,” said insect expert Adam Dale. If by chance you do come in contact with them, you can remove any hairs with tape, then wash the area with soap and water, and apply ice or a baking soda and water paste to soothe the skin. If you happen to run into one at Disney World, head to First Aid where they should be able to help you out. ©Universal Images Just make sure to be careful when around them or where their cocoons are. Even their cocoons can have those irritating hairs! That also means you’ll want to clear the area of them once they become moths. If you see any cocoons, you can use a broom to remove them.

Epic Universe just released new snacks, and they’re a cuteness overload! Soft Pretzel Super Nintendo World has two new pretzels that made us go bananas. Plus, Isle of Berk has a new mac & cheese cone fit for a viking. Are any of these new snacks worth a try on your next visit to the park? Let’s dig in and find out! There’s only one thing we love more than theme parks – and that’s the food and drinks! We made a free map of the best drink options from Butterbeer to hidden gems at the best Universal park, Epic Universe. ​​ The Soft Pretzels are $15 at Turbo Boost Treats in Super Nintendo World. The pretzel itself is standard – it’s soft, moist, and the flaky salt on top adds a nice little crunch. Soft Pretzels The cheese is the real star of the show; It’s not your typical plastic cheese, but a jalapeño cheese sauce with a spicy kick. This wasn’t overwhelmingly spicy for picky eaters; it just added an unexpected element for a unique snack. Cheese sauce The Cinnamon Pretzels are $15, also available at Turbo Boost Treats. These pretzels tasted more buttery than their savory counterpart, and were topped with a thick coating of cinnamon sugar. It came with a buttercream icing to dip the pretzels into, which made for a unique sweet treat. Both of these pretzels are a large portion size and easily shareable. Cinnamon Pretzels Another new food that caught our eye is Dragon’s Garden Pyre for $18.99 at Hooligan’s Grog & Gruel in Isle of Berk. This is mac & cheese with lemon-herb chicken, fire-roasted corn, avocado spread, and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos crumbles, served in a crunchy cone. Dragon’s Garden Pyre The cone itself is so buttery that we could taste the butter almost immediately, and there was a nice hint of garlic. The mac & cheese was very creamy, but tasted bland. We loved the chicken – the herbs and seasonings were very peppery and fresh. The Hot Cheetos added some spice at the beginning of your cone, but since it’s only on top, we’d recommend mixing the cone first. Dragon’s Garden Pyre Epic Universe has been powering up its snack game! Stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more theme park food reviews.

Staying at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa — for many Disney fans — is the ULTIMATE must-do at least once during a Disney World vacation. If you’ve ever wondered what a stay is actually like, look no further — we’re spilling the tea. Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort As one of Disney’s most luxurious hotels, the Grand Floridian can feel like an elusive bucket-list stay. Packed with Victorian-era theming and amenities and restaurants that are often considered world-class, this hotel can provide a Disney experience unlike anything else around the world. During one of our stays, we were able to enjoy the DVC resort studios (which boasts Mary Poppins theming), and there were some seriously impressive elements that have us itching to book another visit. The Theming is EXTRAORDINARY If you’re a fan of the Mary Poppins franchise, this studio room is a sight to behold. The room! Seriously, folks, it’s incredible how many details Disney was able to fit into this room. The wallpaper in the coffee station features characters from Mary Poppins Returns, and you can even spot tiny umbrellas woven into the design! Coffee station Don’t even get us started with the details of the gold chandelier in the main room. It features small glass birds like the ones Mary interacts with. Chandelier Heck, even the vents in the room got in on the fun with hidden Mickeys and more umbrellas! Hidden Mickey AND umbrellas! The artwork next to the TV and sofa shows what looks like Cherry Tree Lane, with Mary Poppins soaring above. Yet ANOTHER nod to the beloved character! Artwork Oh, and how about some more umbrellas! You can spot them on the nightstand lampshade. Lampshade It’s clear that a lot of love and creativity went into these rooms. The Views Are OUTSTANDING You can get this room facing the theme parks, but urs room had a balcony with a view of the Seven Seas Lagoon — and we had zero complaints! At night, we could even see fireworks from Magic Kingdom! Balcony view We could watch the ferry go across the lagoon and even see the Polynesian Resort from our balcony. AND it only takes 15 to 20 minutes to get from the hotel to Magic Kingdom along a very beautiful route, especially during the sunset. And we could never forget the views of the Electrical Water Pageant! All of these views are seriously tough to beat! Even the Bathroom is Luxurious Gold accents, welcoming and bright tones, and other room features quickly let you know that this isn’t an ordinary stay. Front entryway There’s a lot of gold here, and it’s done in a classy way. The nightstand lamps have a delicate gold trim, and the bathroom mirror is even framed in gold with built-in lighting. THAT MIRROR The bathroom — oh boy, could we talk about the bathroom for hours. The vanity area also sports that brushed gold theme, but you also get some beautiful watercolor artwork. It’s tough to find nicer bathrooms in Disney World. The bathroom The shower is spacious, well-lit, and stocked with Disney’s signature hotel products — and we certainly weren’t left wanting. Water closet In fact, our stay felt more like a high-end spa visit. The Room Is Incredibly Functional It’s one thing for the room to look nice, but it actually functions so well that you might never want to leave! The beds have nightstands on either side, each with outlets and built-in shelves. Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Room And here’s one of our favorite tidbits — the beds are tall enough for luggage to be stowed underneath! Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Room You’ll also find a small desk, a foldable sofa daybed, and a mini-fridge — ya know, those hotel room offerings that can really save a trip. Sofa folded down into a bed We felt comfortable during our whole stay, and that’s what matters most.

Norway doesn’t get nearly enough credit as a snack destination in EPCOT. Kringla Bakeri og Cafe in the Norway Pavilion Sure, everyone knows about the School Bread and the Lefse, but tucked inside Kringla Bakeri og Cafe is a chocolate chip cookie that honestly might be one of the sleeper hits of the entire World Showcase. We grabbed the Triple Chocolate Chip Cookie for $6.49, and we have some thoughts. What You’re Getting The Triple Chocolate Chip Cookie is exactly what it sounds like, but better than you’re picturing. At $6.49, you’re getting a generously sized, loaded cookie that’s packed with what appears to be a combination of milk chocolate, semi-sweet, and white chocolate chips. Triple chocolate chip cookie from Kringla Bakeri og Cafe The mix isn’t random either. Each type of chocolate brings something different to the table, and together they create a layered chocolate flavor that doesn’t feel one-note or overwhelming. And then there’s the salt. Little flecks of salt on top that completely elevate the whole thing. It sounds simple, but that salty-sweet contrast is doing serious heavy lifting here. How Was It, Really? Really, really good. Like, embarrassingly good for a walk-up bakery cookie in a theme park. Pastry case at Kringla Bakeri og Cafe in the Norway Pavilion The cookie was fresh, gooey, and melty, which we’ll partially credit to the Florida sun doing its thing, but the texture held up in a way that felt intentional. The chocolate flavor was rich without being cloying, and the three-chocolate combination worked together rather than competing. It wasn’t trying too hard, which honestly made it even better. Pastry Case at Kringla Bakeri og Cafe in the Norway Pavilion If you’re someone who has maybe skipped the cookie case at Kringla because you were eyeing the pastries, we’re here to tell you to reconsider. This is a cookie worth making a detour for. One Very Important Practical Note This cookie is messy. Like, commit-to-the-bit messy. You’re going to want a significant stack of napkins before you start eating, or you’ll want to station yourself somewhere near the Norway pavilion restrooms, because cleaning up after this one is part of the experience. Napkins and Utensils at Kringla Bakeri og Cafe in the Norway Pavilion Plan accordingly, and you’ll have no regrets. The Verdict For $6.49, the Triple Chocolate Chip Cookie at Kringla Bakeri og Cafe is one of the better cookie values you’ll find anywhere on Disney property. It’s fresh, it’s indulgent, the chocolate balance is genuinely impressive, and that salt on top makes it feel like someone actually thought about what they were doing when they made it. This isn’t a novelty item or a seasonal limited-time thing; it’s a regular menu item that’s been quietly sitting there waiting for you to notice it. Triple chocolate chip cookie from Kringla Bakeri og Cafe Norway is already worth a stop for the savory options and the School Bread, but now you have one more reason to swing through. Just grab the napkins first. More Recent Reviews!

Staying at a Disney World hotel comes with tons of perks! We love the convenient location and transportation, along with access to early booking for Lightning Lanes and dining reservations, and so much more. Of course, just staying in the Disney bubble with gorgeous theming and fantastic service is always an added benefit. Magic Kingdom Early Entry One of our favorite perks is Early Entry, which is where we get extra time in the theme parks, but Disney is making some changes to the program you need to know before you book your hotel. For Early Entry, guests staying at a Disney World Resort Hotel get access to the theme parks 30 minutes early, before the park opens to the public. This includes your check-in and check-out days and is a great way to catch an extra ride or two with the lower crowds. You get Early Entry at: Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort Disney’s All-Star Music Resort Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort Disney’s Art of Animation Resort Disney’s Pop Century Resort The Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort Pop Century Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort Port Orleans French Quarter Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Disney’s Beach Club Resort Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Disney’s Contemporary Resort Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Disney’s Yacht Club Resort BoardWalk Resort Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Jambo House Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Kidani Village Disney’s Beach Club Villas Disney’s BoardWalk Villas Disney’s Old Key West Resort Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows Disney’s Riviera Resort Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort – A Disney Vacation Club Resort The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa Skyliner at Disney’s Riviera Resort Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel Walt Disney World Swan Hotel Walt Disney World Swan Reserve DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Orlando Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando Lake Buena Vista Four Seasons Resort Orlando Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista Holiday Inn Orlando Renaissance Orlando Resort and Spa Shades of Green at Walt Disney World Resort Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek Waldorf Astoria Orlando Wyndham Garden Lake Buena Vista Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Four Seasons May is a big month for Disney World because so many new attractions are opening, which totally changes how we do Early Entry. Let’s take it park by park, so you know which attractions are available. Magic Kingdom We don’t yet have the exact opening date, but Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is set to reopen sometime in early May. We expect this ride to return to the Early Entry list, but since it’s been closed for over a year while they replace the entire track and add new Rainbow Caverns, it’s not officially on the list right now. ©Disney When Big Thunder Mountain Railroad reopens, the ride is going to be popular, so it can be a great choice for Early Entry to get in line before the park officially opens to the public. We also wanted to mention that, even though Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin reopened in April, it is likely to remain a popular choice since it was also closed for a lengthy refurbishment. Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin Here are all the available rides for Early Entry: “it’s a small world” Astro Orbiter Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin Dumbo the Flying Elephant Mad Tea Party Peter Pan’s Flight Prince Charming Regal Carrousel Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Space Mountain The Barnstormer The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Tomorrowland Speedway Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover Under the Sea ~ Journey of The Little Mermaid Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress Hollywood Studios On May 22nd, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run will get new updates, including the addition of the Mandalorian and Grogu! You’ll also be able to choose which adventure you want to take, and the whole ride should feel like a welcome refresh. Smugglers Run is already a part of Early Entry, but keep in mind that this could be a much busier option. New missions will be added to Millennium Falcon: Smugglers run in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort featuring the Mandalorian and Grogu. We also wanted to give a quick shoutout to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets, which is set to reopen this summer. Now, we wouldn’t call May a summer month, and it’s likely Disney would have already announced its opening with the other attractions, but it’s a good one to keep your eye on in case it opens early. ©Disney Walt Disney Studios, the new area replacing Animation Courtyard, will be opening on May 26th. While we don’t expect this to be part of Early Entry, if you want to spend some time in the area, it might be better to use Early Entry for your top attractions to make sure you get those out of the way so you have more time to enjoy Walt Disney Studios later in the day. “Olaf Draws” Concept Art ©Disney The rides currently available for Early Entry are: Alien Swirling Saucers Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets — Opening Summer 2026 Slinky Dog Dash Star Tours – The Adventures Continue Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror Toy Story Mania! EPCOT You’ll definitely want to circle May 26th in your calendar because it is a big deal this year! In EPCOT, Soarin’ Across America will open. The current version, Soarin’ Around the World, will close on May 13th, and then the new version will open on the 26th. Since this ride is available during Early Entry, you’ll want to be aware that you can’t go for 14 days, so other attractions may be busier. ©Disney Check out all the rides available: Frozen Ever After Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Mission: SPACE Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Soarin’ Around the World Spaceship Earth Test Track The Seas with Nemo & Friends Animal Kingdom Animal Kingdom is currently undergoing a massive transformation, with many attractions closed as the changes are underway. On May 26th (we told you that date would be important!) Bluey’s Wild World will be opening at the Conservation Station. We are not expecting this to be part of Early Entry (most shows and character experiences are not), but you might want to cross off some bigger rides off your list so you have more time to have fun with Bluey and Bingo. Bluey and Bingo Here are the Early Entry rides in Animal Kingdom: Avatar Flight of Passage Expedition Everest Na’vi River Journey Zootopia: Better Zoogether! The best way to stay on top of all of the changes is to keep an eye on the Disney World app. If there are rides you know you’ll want to go on and you have access to Early Entry, you might want to prioritize them. Sometimes, rides don’t open for Early Entry even if they’re scheduled to, so having a backup isn’t a bad idea, either.

Starbucks just released new drinks that we had to try! Obviously, we headed to Magic Kingdom‘s Main Street Bakery, because coffee tastes better when walking down Main Street, U.S.A. Iced Mango Cream Matcha These two new Starbucks drinks are available nationwide, so you can grab them at your neighborhood Starbucks, too. Spoiler alert – this purple coffee could change your life, too! First, we tried the Iced Mango Cream Matcha for $6.45. This is Starbucks’ classic Iced Matcha Latte topped with a mango cream cold foam. The mango cold foam was so strong that the matcha wasn’t very present, and it cut the earthiness typically found in a matcha latte. This tasted like a sweet mango with only a small hint of matcha. If you love mango, then we’d strongly recommend this, but if you’re looking for a strong matcha taste, this won’t be your cup of tea. Iced Mango Cream Matcha Next up was the Iced Ube Coconut Macchiato for $6.45. This is espresso, milk, and vanilla topped with ube coconut cream cold foam and coconut flakes. This drink is a lot like your standard Starbucks caramel macchiato with lots of layers, but when we got it, all the layers immediately disappeared. It seems like this is made with a new coconut cold foam and not their standard cold foam, which sank to the bottom very fast! It looks pretty, but if you only get macchiatos for their layers, you probably won’t be a fan of this drink. Iced Ube Coconut Macchiato For the taste itself, the ube adds an awesome purple color, but just a tiny hint of sweetness and not much flavor. The main flavor of the drink is coconut, so it tastes like a coconut latte with a fun, purple presentation. The drink was also thicker than Starbucks lattes usually are, since the coconut cold foam started to mix in the drink itself. We enjoyed the creamy texture, but the thickness might not be for everyone. This was very refreshing and perfect for the warmer months! Iced Ube Coconut Macchiato We loved trying these new Starbucks drinks. Stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more Disney food reviews!

A visit to Singapore could lead you to some incredible eats! Singapore eats! We recently traveled out to Singapore to sail with the Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship — the Disney Adventure –, and we were fortunate enough to do a little bit of exploring (and dining) on the mainland before setting sail. As such, we’re taking you on a little culinary tour of some of the notable dishes we tried in Singapore! Let’s start with some hotel eats! We stayed at the Marina Bay Sands, and breakfast by the pool is a must! Marina Bay Sands We had dumplings, which were perfectly prepared and packed with plenty of filling. They weren’t too spicy, but they had a nice amount of heat. This was absolutely delicious! Dumplings We also tried an açai bowl — and we’re not joking around when we say this might have been one of the best we’ve ever had. It was super creamy, really refreshing, wonderfully fresh and juicy, and oh so memorable. The peanut butter added a nice thickness that really kind of tied the dish together and made it more filling. The dragonfruit was so purple and flavorful — something unlike anything we’ve ever had back in the States. We’re so happy we tried it! Yum! We didn’t have a ton of time to explore, so of course we indulged in a little room service! We got two of the Japanese and Chinese breakfasts (full-service breakfast meals), and they were SO good! The sets came with a coffee of choice AND a juice of choice (we tried freshly squeezed watermelon juice). Each was savory, filling, and comforting (plus they were a great deal and could be split by two people)! Marina Bay Sands At Maxwell Hawker Center, the Hainanese chicken was absolutely incredible! It was actually recommended by Anthony Bourdain at one point on his show, so it’s a pretty popular dish that tourists love to try. The chicken won’t be familiar to a lot of American palates, but it was super juicy and tender. The rice was cooked perfectly — fluffy and filling. The sauce on top was savory and just coated in a really glossy flavor that we loved. If you ever make your way out to Singapore, you’ve gotta try this! Hainanese Chicken and Rice During our brief visit, we made sure to head over to Universal Studios Singapore, where we stopped by Super Hungry Food Stand in the Minions Land, and we tried a few things. Super Hungry Food Stand Stuart’s Japanese Curry Karaage was pretty good! The chicken was pretty chewy and needed more crunch, but it was flavorful and juicy. The curry was nice and spicy (not hot, just flavorful) with lots of veggies that were soft. The curry was aromatic, flavorful, and slightly sweet. We quite liked this! Stuart’s Japanese Curry Karaage The Unlucky Ducky Creamy Chicken Stew weirdly reminded us of chicken pot pie! It was creamy and familiar with lots of veggies and chicken. The chicken was also chewy, and we could see there being a texture issue for others. The little targets were edible (which was neat), but they were colder than we would’ve liked. Unlucky Ducky We also tried the Chili Crab Minion Mantous, and these buns were surprising. We expected them to have filling, but they didn’t! They were light and fluffy, similar to a bao bun but flatter. The crab dip on the side was similar to a sweet and spicy sauce with a subtle crab flavor that really came through in a nice way. Chili Crab Minion Mantou Over in Far Far Away (the Shrek land), we also tried the Shrek Waffle, which was SO tasty. It was just a sweet, vanilla waffle — but it was made fresh to order. It was hot, crispy, and soft on the inside. It also came with your choice of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream on the side (we went with Chunky Monkey). Shrek Waffle And there you have it!

When it comes to Disney World’s theme parks, there’s arguably none better known for its dining than EPCOT. From the cross-cultural restaurants of the World Showcase to the park’s annual International Food & Wine Festival, cuisine is arguably its calling card. Galaxy Spritz However, from our experience, the hardest reservation to get in the park isn’t at a restaurant set in one of World Showcase’s eleven themed international pavilions. In fact, it’s not set on Earth at all. Space 220 first opened at the park in September of 2021, and in the nearly 5 years since, the restaurant has become one of EPCOT’s most popular. Space 220 Guests first board a “space elevator” that mimics taking them 220 miles above the Earth to the Centauri Space Station, where they’ll dine. Once seated, the restaurant’s massive panoramic windows — actually screens — provide simulated daytime and nighttime views of the Earth inside the dining area. Not a bad view The restaurant’s menu offers a prix fixe selection — two courses during lunch, three courses for dinner — featuring modern American cuisine. Lunch costs $55 per person, and includes one Lift-Off appetizer… ©Disney … and one Star Course entree. ©Disney For an additional cost, Satellite Sides and Super Nova Sweets are available. ©Disney Moving from lunch to dinner, the cost jumps to $79 a per adult but now includes a Super Nova Sweets dessert. The Lift-Offs…. ©Disney … and Star Course entrees somewhat differ for dinner. ©Disney Dinner also offers some additional supplemental options. ©Disney There are also kids’ menus available for both courses, which cost $29 for lunch and $35 for dinner, as well as a menu of Atmospheric Spirits cocktails… ©Disney … and an array of beers and wine. If you want to know more about Space 220 — or to learn more about any Walt Disney World restaurant — check out our Guide to Disney World Dining, which pulls it all together with information on every eatery so you can stop stressing and focus on the fun without feeling like you’re missing a thing! Like other Disney World restaurants, guests are able to book 60 days beginning at approximately 6:00 AM EST (though you can start refreshing at 5:45 AM EST) online and beginning at 7:00 AM EST over the phone. Of course, if you’re staying at a Disney World hotel, you’ll actually be able to book for the whole duration of your trip (up to 10 days) beginning 60 days before your arrival, so you could conceivably book up to 70 days out. This is key to scoring a table Space 220. However, if you’re unable to snag one, there’s still a way to see the interior of the Centauri Space Station. Space 220 Lounge Space 220 also features a lounge with its own menu of Flight Bites, which has seen a great deal of evolution over the years. ©Disney During our most recent visit, we really enjoyed the Blue Moon Cauliflower, which is made with Tempura-fried Cauliflower, Housemade Hot Sauce, and Bleu Cheese Dust. It had a light, crispy batter on the outside, with saucy cauliflower on the inside, while the buffalo sauce added a nice kick. Blue Moon Cauliflower We paired that with the Gamma Burst Cocktail, which is made with Grey Goose Strawberry and Lemongrass vodka, Midori Melon Liqueur, and Strawberry Popping Pearls. It’s a fruity and tropical concoction that fans of sweet and refreshing cocktails will enjoy. Gamma Burst Of course, no meal is complete without dessert, and we decided to sample the best of all worlds (no, couldn’t resist the pun) by trying the Flight 220 sampler, which currently includes Cosmic Cheesecake (featuring a chocolate mousse base with a chocolate shell ), Cookies and Cream Macaron (a nice and crunchy macaroon filled with a fluffy cookies and cream mousse and a salted caramel filling in the middle), and Strawberry Saturn (a strawberry mousse filling surrounded by a white chocolate shell with a white chocolate ring and strawberry crumble that is light, milky, fluffy, and creamy, almost like eating strawberry milk, that’s what this is like). Flight 220 Whether you’re able to score a full table service reservation for Space 220 or simply check out the lounge, odds are your experience will be out of this world.

From fluttering butterflies to buzzing bees and more, pollinators play a powerful role in keeping our planet healthy — and at Disney, they’re getting a little extra love this Earth Month. Around the world, Disney cast members, Imagineers, scientists, and storytellers are coming together to protect pollinators and the habitats they depend on — all part of our Disney Planet Possible commitment to help create a healthier planet for people and wildlife. From long‑term research programs to hands‑on guest experiences (and even honey you can taste), nearly every destination has a pollinator story to tell. So, let’s take a global tour of how Disney is celebrating and supporting these tiny heroes. Local Students Create Pollinator Habitats for Cotino, the first Storyliving by Disney community Pollinator pods planted at Cotino in Rancho Mirage, California In California’s Coachella Valley, local high school students recently took part in hands-on conservation work to support the native desert ecosystem in Rancho Mirage. Through a collaboration between The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens and Cotino, the first Storyliving by Disney residential community, students in the zoo’s Desert Defender Career Exploration Camp created 17 pollinator pods to support local wildlife. The pods, small seed balls made from native plant seeds, clay and compost, were planted at Cotino by the students, linking classroom learning to real-world conservation efforts in their own community. Desert Defenders is a community education initiative led by The Living Desert and supported by Storyliving by Disney. The program engages schools and neighborhoods across the Coachella Valley through creative, hands-on projects such as building pollinator gardens and exploring ways to reduce waste and protect desert habitats. By supporting programs like these, Disney helps encourage students to learn about conservation and take an active role in protecting the desert environment they call home. Disneyland Paris Apiaries and Honey Over in France, Disneyland Paris has had its very own beehives since 2012. In fact, there are now 40 domestic beehives across the resort, helping reinforce natural pollination and support local biodiversity. Across the resort, nearly five acres of flower-filled meadows also serve as a refuge and food source for pollinating insects. They even produce their own honey from an apiary at Davy Crockett Ranch and other locations. These bee yards provide a safe shelter where bees can thrive and reproduce during swarming season — the time when the queen bee and a group of bees leave their nest to form new colonies. Sustainability is also at the heart of the program. Only surplus honey is harvested, ensuring the bees still have plenty of food to last all winter long! Local Honey at Disneyland Resort’s Napa Rose If you haven’t heard, Napa Rose has recently reopened at Disneyland Resort and features exciting selections that highlight seasonal produce and pay homage to California wine country cuisine with global influences. But did you know that the honey used in this restaurant is coming from nearby pollinators? Yes, that’s right — the honey is locally sourced by beekeepers right in the heart of Southern California. Wildflowers and Monarch Migration at Walt Disney World At Walt Disney World, the Disney Conservation team has led pollinator research and monitoring programs, helping scientists better understand butterfly and bee populations, migration patterns and the health of ecosystems they call home. From adding 14+ acres of wildflower meadow around solar arrays, to creating pollinator gardens with native milkweeds and flowering plants in the parks and resorts, to tagging monarch butterflies to track their movements, the team is always hard at work innovating to move the science forward and save species. And as a founding member of the Florida Butterfly Monitoring Network, Disney Conservation has monitored butterflies in the conservation areas of Walt Disney World for over 20 years and published papers on the results. This long‑term research helps inform conservation strategies that protect pollinators far beyond Disney’s parks, supporting biodiversity and habitats around the world. Through its leadership of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Saving Animals from Extinction (SAFE) program for North American monarch butterflies, Disney has also brought together more than 100 AZA institutions and program collaborators across the United States and Canada to engage audiences, increase collaboration, and improve the species’ conservation status in North America. Supporting Butterflies in our Backyards and Beyond The Disney Conservation Fund has supported nonprofit organizations working with communities around the world to protect pollinators — from birds, to bees, to butterflies, and bats. This includes more than a decade of support toward University of Florida’s work to reverse the decline and aid the recovery of 45 at-risk butterfly species in Florida and California. This team’s efforts have engaged more than 40,000 people in conservation education and outreach programs, planted nearly 30,000 wildlife-friendly native plants to help restore important habitats for species, reintroduced more than 47,000 captive-bred butterflies to the wild, and even helped increase the population of critically endangered Schaus’ swallowtail butterflies in Florida from only four individuals in 2012 to more than 1,700 by 2021. A recent grant from the Disney Conservation Fund will also support Monarch Joint Venture’s efforts to restore and connect 15 miles of monarch butterfly habitat across important migratory routes in California’s Bay Area and Central Valley over the next two years. Disney VoluntEARS Grow Impact For the last five years, Disney VoluntEARS have also helped support declining monarch butterfly populations by planting and caring for appropriate pollinator-friendly plants for their region, providing more than 7,000 hours of service. As monarch populations have declined in recent decades, especially following the 2025 Los Angeles fires, planting butterfly‑friendly plants at home is an important way to help their populations recover and continue to grow. Their efforts will continue this year, helping grow a brighter future by providing vital nectar resources and host plants to lay their eggs on this spring. From butterflies to bees and beyond, these are just a few of the ways Disney is helping pollinators thrive. This story is part of our 30-day countdown to Earth Day celebrating the Disney Conservation Fund’s 30th anniversary — follow along at thewaltdisneycompany.com/disney-planet-possible, and don’t forget to stream Secrets of the Bees on National Geographic, with episodes streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.

Sometimes, there are big ride changes like Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, where Disney has given us months to overanalyze every single thing. Other times, Disney pops something up overnight, and it’s a total surprise to us. Expedition Everest When we were in Animal Kingdom recently, we had to ride one of the best roller coasters on property and find the yeti, but in line, we noticed a new change that Disney definitely did not warn us about. On Expedition Everest, they added a new safety video to the monitors! Check it out! It’s fun (and helpful), and it’s the little things like this that help keep the rides fresh and new. You’ll have a little bit of time to check it out While we didn’t get too much time in front of them since we wanted to keep the line moving, it definitely caught our attention. What a fun addition We also found out it’s the 20th anniversary of Everest! What a massive achievement, especially with all the changes in Animal Kingdom right now. Time to celebrate! One major change is that DinoLand U.S.A. is being renamed Pueblo Esperanza, a Tropical Americas-themed land. ©Disney || Tropical Americas Land coming to Animal Kingdom It will feature an Encanto attraction (the very first!) where you get to go inside Casita. ©Disney DINOSAUR is also being turned into an Indiana Jones attraction. While it uses the same technology as the ride in Disneyland, this one will have a different storyline that we’re looking forward to seeing for ourselves. New Indiana Jones Ride ©Disney You can’t forget about the Disney animal carousel, too. This will be a super fun, family attraction for everyone to enjoy.

It’s officially time to go to infinity and beyond, because Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin has finally reopened at Magic Kingdom! Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin soft opening After Cast Member previews and a surprise soft opening, this popular Tomorrowland ride is welcoming Space Cadets once again. We stopped by Magic Kingdom to check out the crowds and wait times, and we certainly weren’t the only ones! It’s official! Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin has reopened at Magic Kingdom after a lengthy closure. This ride got quite a refresh with new vehicles, blasters, targets, and more. When we checked out the ride as part of a preview, we LOVED everything about the updated changes. We headed into Magic Kingdom this morning to check out the crowds and wait times over at Space Ranger Spin, and it turns out, LOTS of people were excited about the ride’s reopening! Rope drop wasn’t bad When we got into Tomorrowland, though, it suddenly became much more crowded! Everyone wants to ride today! We went to get in line for Buzz, which looked busy, but not too bad at first. Looking okay! But to find the end of the line, a long part of it extended beyond the queue and under the PeopleMover, Getting longer… Until we finally found it, stretching towards Carousel of Progress! The Cast Member confirmed that the wait time is 45 minutes or less. Found it! As far as wait times go, it looks like Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin has peaked at 45 minutes this morning. Since Lightning Lanes for the ride are almost sold out for the day, we’re expecting it to get more crowded as the day goes on. Only 45 minutes! One of the biggest (and most celebrated) changes to the new version of Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin is the replacement of the original, fixed blasters with new ones that can be picked up and aimed in any direction. Previously, you had to fully spin your ride vehicle to aim your blaster at the targets, but now, you can pick up your blaster and point it where you want it to go. This is an extremely welcome change, and we’re not the only ones who think so. Buzz We’ll be on the lookout for more Buzz Lightyear updates and beyond.
