Today’s a very special day for candy fans and chocolate lovers alike since the M&M’s Store has officially opened in Disney Springs! (We’ll pause for a round of applause.) M&M’s Store We’ve already been grabbing a whole bunch of merchandise, BUT we couldn’t leave the M&M’s Store without giving you a look at the crème de la crème of the chocolate-themed atmosphere. Prior to the M&M’s Store opening, we were already keeping an eye on its speedy construction in Disney Springs. As the front of the building started to receive decorations, like giant M&M’s, Disney also gave us a sneak peek at some of the treats that would be inside the store. On top of the Mickey and Minnie M&M’s available to guests, personalized M&M’s would be available to make for fans of all ages! M&M’s Store Opening And, we’re here to give you a full tutorial on how to design your very own personalized M&M’s at the new store! M&M’s Store Opening Guests can choose between photos, icons, and texts to put on their M&M’s! You can have four M&M’s designs that will be featured in the bag of treats. Once you’ve chosen what container you’d like for your M&M’s (we went with the small 10 oz bulk bag)… M&M’s Personalized Bags …you’ll be able to pick out of an array of over 25 colors for your M&M’s for the perfect mix of vibrant treats! M&M’s Colors After using the kiosk, it will give you a card with your personalization on it. Then a Cast Member will help create the M&M’s for you! Our M&M Personalization Card! As we waited for our bag of M&M’s, the personalization portion took a short five minutes, while the wait was longer at around an hour since the store was busy during its grand opening. It’s important to note that you can only get one of your designs with a photo, so you’ll want to be sure to follow the directions accordingly when you choose your image. We experienced a small glitch with our own photo, so be make sure to upload your preferred picture the first time and don’t try to change it afterwards. M&M’s Store Opening TA-DA! We received our finished product with the amazing help of Cast Member, Alvs! Our Personalized DFB M&M’s We got the “Ocean Mix” M&M’s to match the color scheme of our logo and site… Our Personalized DFB M&M’s …which POPPED with shades of white, blue, and teal. Our Personalized DFB M&M’s If you want to create your own bag, we recommend heading to the M&M’s Store earlier in the day or during a less busy day in Disney Springs for shorter waits. And, now that the chocolate-themed shop has officially opened, personalizing your own bag of treats is a blast for everyone who visits. Whether you’re wanting to pick up a special souvenir or you’re looking for an activity your friends and family will love, you’re going to want to stop by the M&M’s Store soon!

Slowly but surely, things are beginning to look—and taste—like normal again in Disneyland. After restaurants in Disney’s Downtown Disney District had to re-close and restrict to takeout in December, we’re seeing more and more places start to reopen following recently lifted restrictions on outdoor dining. Downtown Disney District Now, a couple of restaurants at Downtown Disney have reopening dates, and one of them reopened today! After several weeks of closures, guests can eat and drink in Downtown Disney again while remaining stationary and socially distanced. Downtown Disney Crowds A few days ago, UVA Bar and Cafe, Tortilla Jo’s, and Naples Ristorante e Bar announced their reopening for outdoor dining in Downtown Disney. These three restaurants are scheduled to reopen today, January 30th! UVA Bar and Cafe Next up: Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen is back in action February 1! Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen The New Orleans-inspired restaurant’s hours will be 11 AM-8 PM daily. The express window has been open for takeout, where we tried Mardi Gras beignets, but now the restaurant will be open. Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen In other al fresco Disney news, Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes is offering patio dining again starting today, January 30th! Black Tap After only doing takeout for weeks, guests can now feast on-site. Honestly, we can’t think of anything better right now than sipping a Crazy Shake in the California sun! Hours for Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes are 12-8 PM daily. Mickey Mouse Milkshake It continues to be a long and slow road for Disneyland, but we’re so excited to see some Downtown Disney restaurants start to reopen!

Located in Disney Springs, Gideon’s Bakehouse is home to some of our favorite desserts of all-time! Frankenstein Cookie Gideon’s is known for their massive (and DELICIOUS) cookies, as well as other incredible snacks like cake and cold brew coffee. And we’re not the only ones with a serious love for these sweet treats! Since their soft opening in late 2020, guests have been flocking to Gideon’s to satisfy their cravings. In order to keep the physical line from getting too long, Gideon’s has implemented a virtual queue. Gideon’s Bakehouse The virtual queue sends guests a text with an estimated wait time, as well as a follow-up text when it’s time for them to return. The demand for Gideon’s has remained high since the opening, and the location has been keeping a close eye on the traffic patterns. Gideon’s Virtual Queue Today, Gideon’s posted an update regarding queue expectations to their Instagram Story. And if you want to snag a dessert from Gideon’s on your next trip, you’ll definitely want to check it out! Coffee Toffee Cookie at Gideon’s The update states that after observing regular traffic patterns, guests can expect the virtual queue to close around 7PM each day. This will both minimize the chance that guests will be turned away after already obtaining a spot in the queue and allow the location to close on time. ©Gideon’s Bakehouse If you want to snag a cookie from Gideon’s Bakehouse (and trust us, they’re worth the wait!) be sure to arrive earlier in the day to increase your shot of snagging a place in the virtual queue!

We’re no strangers to eating our way around the “world” here at DFB! (The World Showcase, that is!) From checking out all the latest festival foods to keeping an eye on new and exciting snacks — we’ve got you covered on anything and everything EPCOT! EPCOT Fountain But, we can’t help but shed a little tear every now and then () when we think about all the tasty and unique bites people are missing out on during their globetrotting adventures! We get it, the World Showcase is FULL of hidden-away treasures — and it can be so easy to miss a few along the way — which is why we made this list of five treats you should DEFINITELY keep on your radar during your next visit! 1. Bisque de Homard at Les Halles Look…carbs are a treat, and they’re going first on this list! (It’s what carbs deserve.) If you’re a bread-lover like we are, then you definitely won’t want to pass by this lobster bisque bread bowl from Les Halles Boulangerie and Patisserie in EPCOT’s France Pavilion. Bisque de Homard This is a nice warm and hearty option for those cooler Florida days and is SUPER affordable compared to similar snacks at Disney World. (It only costs $5.75!) If you really want to make the most out of the carby experience, we also recommend adding a buttery, flaky croissant to your order. Croissant And you gotta dip that little guy right into the bisque! Read about a $3 snack in EPCOT here! 2. Ice Cream Martini at L’Artisan des Glaces We can’t leave France QUITE yet, because there’s no way we’re moving on to the next country without grabbing an Ice Cream Martini from L’Artisan des Glaces first! Pina Colada Ice Cream Martini with Rum This refreshing drink (more like a full-on dessert, if we’re being honest), has quickly become one of our team’s EPCOT favorites. You’ll get to choose two scoops from a list of handmade artisan flavors, then top it all off with your choice of Grand Marnier, whipped cream vodka, or rum! Click here for 10 Disney World treats you forgot to put on your bucket list! 3. Apple Tart at Regal Eagle Smokehouse If you’re a fan of crispy, cinnamon-y, streusel-topped goodness, then boy oh boy, have we got the TREAT for you. Apple Tart The Apple Tart at Regal Eagle Smokehouse in the American Adventure Pavilion features all your favorite Thanksgiving-esque flavors. The outside has a nice crunch, while the inside is full of warm cinnamon apples and sweet cream cheese. (If you need us, we’ll be dreaming about this one.) Read our full Regal Eagle Smokehouse review here! 4. Kaki Gori at Kabuki Cafe Over in the Japan Pavilion, you’ll find Japanese Shaved Ice (Kaki Gori) at Kabuki Cafe. Most people probably pass over this one because…well…you can get shaved ice anywhere. But we’ll tell you right now that this shaved ice is just…different. Rainbow Kaki Gori It’s light, it’s refreshing, and it is seriously drowning in sweet, sweet syrup. What really makes the difference is opting to top it off with creamy sweet milk — transforming the treat your mom used to get you after soccer practice into a unique, melt-in-your-mouth summer delight. Read more about Kaki Gori in Disney World here! 5. Liqueur Caramel Flight at Karamell-Küche (AKA BOOZY Caramels!) These tiny bites of chocolate and caramel heaven need no explanation or introduction — but, we’ll give you one anyway. Boozy Caramel Flight Remix We’ll end our little journey in the Germany Pavilion, where we’ve fallen victim to the sweet, sweet smells of caramel wafting through the EPCOT air far too many times. (All jokes aside, this sweet stop is a MUST no matter what you choose to grab!) We’ll focus on the boozy caramels for today, though. This decedent flight might be small, but it packs a powerful punch of flavor! Currently, the Karamell-Küche caramels are Mojito, Limoncello, Tequila, and Chocolate Cherry Blossom flavored, but we’ve seen them change before. Either way, they’re bound to be delicious no matter what. Boozy Caramels So, there you have it! If you didn’t know, then now you know! With these on your list, you’re sure to have an action-packed foodie adventure during your EPCOT travels. Read our full BOOZY Caramel review here! Our DFB Guide to Walt Disney World Dining is also a fantastic resource for getting the most out of your EPCOT trip. (And all the other Disney World Parks and Resorts, too!) This super helpful ebook has over 800 pages of easy-to-navigate planning tips, snack recommendations, budgeting tools, special deals, and SO MUCH MORE! We also created it with YOU in mind. (Need to save money? Have picky eaters in your family? Not sure how to start planning? ) There’s something in there for everyone!

Disney Springs is about to get a little bit sweeter! Disney Springs We’ve been keeping a close eye on the construction at the M&M’s Store in the West Side of Disney Springs. The store was originally set to open in 2020, but the opening date was quietly pushed back near the end of the year. But it looks like the wait will soon be coming to an end — the M&M’s Store is set to open today in Disney Springs! M&M Store We noticed that the M&M’s Store had hours listed on the website this morning… M&M’s Store Hours …so we reached out to Disney and a Cast Member confirmed that the store is set to open today!

Way, WAY back during the 2019 D23 Expo, Disney announced a massive renovation coming to Spaceship Earth as part of EPCOT’s transformation. The refurbishment, which included reimagining several scenes within the ride, would mean a temporary closure of the park’s flagship attraction. EPCOT As we know, a LOT has happened since late 2019, and the timeline of Spaceship Earth’s renovation has been called into question. Let’s recap what we know about the renovation! What will happen during the refurbishment? When we first learned about Spaceship Earth’s renovation, our minds were suddenly overflowing with questions! Mainly, what exactly will be included in this refurbishment and how different would “Spaceship Earth 2.0” look compared to the current version? ©Disney Bob Chapek announced at the 2019 D23 Expo that the “new Spaceship Earth will still feature great moments of human history, but instead of inventions and technology, we’ll focus on something that binds us all together — storytelling.” The new plot is designed to include a “story light” which will come to life throughout the attraction. Thank You Phoenicians! THANK YOU!! In addition, the renovation was said to include a fresh narration (bye bye, Dame Judi Dench) and even some new scenes! Click here to look back on our earliest information regarding Spaceship Earth’s renovation! How long has the renovation been put on pause? Eventually, we learned that Spaceship Earth was scheduled to begin its temporary closure on May 26th, 2020. We were never able to confirm how long Spaceship Earth would be closed for, but it seemed like it would be quite lengthy. Spaceship Earth Before we knew it, Disney World began its temporary closure in March of 2020. Many of us wondered whether or not we rode Spaceship Earth for the final time two months earlier than we anticipated, but it was announced during the closure that Spaceship Earth’s renovation was delayed and the current version of the attraction would reopen with the parks! Spaceship Earth when EPCOT reopened After EPCOT reopened, we learned that Spaceship Earth’s renovation was being shelved — at least for the time being. So, for now, you can still ride the current version of Spaceship Earth during you visit to EPCOT. Since that announcement, Disney has been pretty quiet on what their future plans are for updating the ride. Click here to read about more projects that were delayed due to the closures. What is still happening in and around Spaceship Earth? While the ride’s massive renovation may be temporarily paused, a lot is still going on as part of EPCOT’s transformation! For starters, we learned last fall that the exterior of the attraction would be getting a new, programmable lighting design! Imagineer Zach Riddley shared that the design will “activate this area of the park like never before” and “perfectly encapsulate the park transformation.” Spaceship Earth The lighting design has yet to materialize in the parks, but we’re expecting to see something similar to the newer lighting effects around Tree of Life in Disney’s Animal Kingdom as well as Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom! Spaceship Earth We’ve also seen some permits being filed for Spaceship Earth, indicating to us that while the renovation is shelved, it’s not completely off the books just yet. Last fall, Walt Disney Imagineers filed for an “installation of source power and control equipment” with the address linked back to Spaceship Earth. Spaceship Earth We also saw a couple of permits be filed in December for that programmable lighting design. The first permit was filed by Pro Sound and Video, a firm that does show lights, for the installation of “lighting controls, equipment, and low voltage terminations.” The second permit was filed by InterAmerica Stage, Inc. and addresses the “installation of lighting supports.” Spaceship Earth So, at the very least, we could see Spaceship Earth the building get a fresh, new look while we wait for Spaceship Earth the ride to begin its refurbishment. And, of course, let’s not forget about the gorgeous new fountain that greets guests as they enter EPCOT, which compliments Spaceship Earth beautifully!

It’s no secret that Freeform actor Trevor Jackson is a fan of Disney Parks. Over the last few years he’s: visited all the parks at both the Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort, was one of the first guests to experience Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, found his #HappyPlace along with his grown-ish castmates, and even hosted and performed in the Disney Parks holiday specials on ABC in 2018 and 2020!http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/pOE0timPeGQ View the full article

A trip to “The Most Magical Place on Earth” isn’t complete without stopping by the park that started it all — Magic Kingdom! Cinderella Castle There are so many special things about Disney’s Magic Kingdom: classic attractions, fan-favorite characters, and stellar entertainment. Everything here feels so nostalgic, welcoming, and dare we say…magical! So today, we’re tipping our hats to Disney World’s OG park and sharing 30 hidden secrets from Magic Kingdom! Main Street, U.S.A. If you head to Le Chapeau on Main Street, U.S.A., you’ll find a telephone on the wall. If you pick up the telephone, you’ll be able to hear conversations between the citizens of Main Street. Main Street, U.S.A actually has a functioning barbershop! The Harmony Barber Shop gives actual haircuts and even has a special package for your child’s first haircut complete with a pair of Mickey Ears and a lock of their hair in a baggie of pixie dust! They’re temporarily closed due to the current health and safety precautions, but we’ll be looking forward to the reopening in the future! Harmony Barbershop ©Disney If you look up at the windows on Main Street, U.S.A., you’ll notice several names. These names are tributes to various Imagineers and some of the Walt Disney Company’s most important people. Halfway down Main Street, U.S.A. on the right, there’s a side street named Center Street. If you head back in this area and it’s quiet, you’ll be able to listen and hear the sounds of the citizens of Main Street conducting music and dance lessons in the rooms above. Even though you see “flags” on the top of the Main Street buildings, there’s only one real American flag, and that’s the large one on the flagpole closest to the train station. It is raised every morning and taken down every evening during the flag retreat. All the other “flags” that you see have the incorrect number of stars or stripes, so they’re not real American flags. This means they don’t need to be lower or lit at night! Flag Retreat at Magic Kingdom If you’re a fan of Lady and the Tramp, then you need to make a stop by Tony’s Town Square Restaurant on Main Street. In front of the restaurant, you’ll see two pairs of paw prints inside of a heart. (Guess who made those?!) Also, if you stand in front of the window with the picture of Lady and The Tramp on it at this restaurant and look at just the right angle, you’ll be able to make it seem as if Lady is jumping out of the hatbox of the Le Chapeau sign. This is a nod to the scene from the movie where Lady comes out of a hatbox. The “Kiss Goodnight” is a little known surprise at Magic Kingdom that happens after the park closes for the night. It begins about 30 minutes after closing time and includes a short light display on the castle and a “thank you for visiting” announcement. This offering hasn’t returned since the parks reopened, but we hope to see it again in the future! Cinderella Castle at night Adventureland If you dine at Jungle Navigation Co. Ltd Skipper Canteen in Adventureland, there are a few different places you could be seated. One of these locations is the S.E.A. (Society of Explorers and Adventurers) room. As the story goes, the secret meeting room was previously hidden behind a bookcase, and you’ll pass that bookcase as you head inside. If you’ll look at the bookshelf, you’ll notice that The Jungle Book is tilted. That means that pulling this book out from the shelf is the way to open the hidden door to the S.E.A. room! In the Pirates of the Caribbean queue, you’ll pass two skeletons playing chess. The chessboard was set up so that the skeletons were locked in a stalemate (hinting at how they died). Sometimes the pieces get moved around by Cast Members, so we can’t guarantee that the board will be set up properly next time you pass, but make sure to check it out! Next time you take a ride on Jungle Cruise, take a closer look at the half of an airplane used in the attraction. The other half of this plane used to be found in the Casablanca scene in The Great Movie Ride over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Jungle Navigation Co., Ltd. Skipper Canteen S.E.A. Room Frontierland One of the coolest hidden Mickeys in Magic Kingdom can be viewed from the very top of Splash Mountain. Right as you’re about to head down the big drop, take a look to your left. The outline in the rock forms a side profile of Mickey Mouse! Splash Mountain Liberty Square On the second floor of the Liberty Square Riverboat, there’s a little-noticed indoor room. This room is a great place to take a seat and relax, there are several comfy booth seats and plenty of artwork to look at on the walls. While you’re walking through Liberty Square, take a look at the ground. The brown pathway that you see is meant to represent the waste that used to flow through the streets during colonial times, considering that indoor plumbing didn’t exist. There are no restrooms in Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Square. Since public restrooms weren’t a thing in colonial times, all the restrooms in this area are just outside of the boundaries of the land. ‘Tangled’ Restroom Area in Magic Kingdom In the interactive portion of the queue for the Haunted Mansion, you’ll be able to spot a wedding ring embedded in the ground. Near the crypt that sprays water, you’ll see a trash can — the ring is stuck in the pavement on the ground near the trash can. This was actually added after so many fans claimed a flush metal pipe in the ground of the original queue was a wedding ring belonging to the bride inside the ride (it wasn’t but they added it for real later on!). As you’re heading inside the Haunted Mansion, make sure to look to your left just before you enter. Madame Leota’s gravestone is there, and occasionally, she’ll open her eyes, blink, and look around. After you get off of Haunted Mansion, make sure to check out the pet cemetery towards the exit of the attraction. To the tippy top left you’ll find Mr. Toad in the cemetery as a tribute to the long-gone Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. Haunted Mansion The live oak in Liberty Square is over 100 years old. Hanging from its branches are 13 lanterns to represent the original 13 colonies. This tree was found on Disney World property and transplanted to this location! Take a look up into the windows of the Liberty Square buildings to find a window with 2 lanterns in it. This was a nod to Paul Revere and his famous ride to alert the Colonial soldiers how the British would be attacking them. One lantern if attacking by land, two if by sea! Liberty Square Fantasyland On The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, as you’re heading into Owl’s house near the end of the ride, look to your left and you’ll notice a photo of Mr. Toad handing the deed for the attraction over to Owl. Once again, this is a tribute to Mr. Toad’s old ride that was located in the same spot Pooh now occupies. Over in the area of Fantasyland where the Tangled-themed restrooms reside, there’s a scavenger hunt where guests can look for hidden Pascals. He’s a clever little chameleon, so he can be tricky to spot! Next time you’re strolling through New Fantasyland near Dumbo, look down. You’ll spot horse and wagon tracks as well as peanuts stuck in the ground! It IS a circus, after all! Nearby, check out the Casey Jr. Splash ‘n’ Soak Station. The little train that could from Dumbo has a sneaky secret. Each train car has a two-digit number on it. These 4 numbers are the years the 4 Disney World parks opened! Magic Kingdom in ’71, EPCOT in ’82, Hollywood Studios in ’89, and Animal Kingdom in ’98. Ever look down into the water on “it’s a small world” or other fountains in the park and see loads of coins? All the coins tossed into the wells, water rides, and water features are regularly collected and donated to children’s charities in Central Florida. Those pennies go to a good cause! Speaking of fountains, make sure to stop by Cinderella Fountain in Fantasyland to make a wish! It’s located near the back of the Castle. When looking at Cinderella from the height of an adult, she appears as a normal girl. But, from the height of a child, she has a crown on her head! Magic Kingdom Also in the area of the Tangled restrooms, you’ll notice a seating area made of “tree stumps”. These tree stumps have charging ports and outlets on their sides, so this is a great place to relax and charge up. There are several hidden Mickeys surrounding the area of Under the Sea — Journey of the Little Mermaid. There’s a hidden Steamboat Willie in the queue, as well as a hidden Mickey that only appears on Mickey’s birthday. (That’s some SERIOUS Imagineering skill right there! One date a year that it’s easily visible!) You may also spot a hidden Nautilus or two — a tribute to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Submarine Voyage that occupied the space before this ride. If you dine in Pinocchio Village Haus, make sure to check for the wish book in the dining area. This book is located in the back left side of the restaurant, and is left there so that guests can write their wishes inside! Pinocchio Village Haus Tomorrowland While riding the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, you’ll get a glance at the model for the original EPCOT called Progress City. This original model was intended to be a living community, which is very different than the EPCOT we have today! This is the real-deal actual model, restored over the years and moved to Disney World for guests to view. There are several Easter eggs on Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress! The final ride scene has 4 hidden Mickeys, and the grandmother from the attraction is actually the SAME grandma that appears in the ballroom scene on Haunted Mansion. As you’re walking through this land, you may notice some odd-looking metal palm trees. The Imagineering story behind these trees is that they are the source of power for Tomorrowland called Power Palms. The branches could “open up” to collect solar energy. Each tree has coconuts, and the coconuts are harvested to collect the power. When charged up, the leaves of the palm would retract. See if you can spot the one closed up Power Palm! Of course, this isn’t actually true. The palms don’t really do…anything but look nice. It’s just part of Tomorrowland’s backstory. Tomorrowland Well, that’s all the fun facts about Magic Kingdom that we have for today! Did you know all 30 (plus a few extra. What can we say, there’s a lot of fun stuff to share!)?

Disney pretty consistently works to develop new and exciting ways for guests to experience attractions in the theme parks. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge This is especially apparent when you look at the planned Disney Metaverse that encourages internal work towards interactive and personalized attraction experiences. Today, we’ve found a sign that Disney is working towards a SURPRISING attraction concept — one that interacts with a personal toy YOU’RE holding. Today, Disney filed a patent for an “Interactive Toy.” At first glance, we expected this to be a consumer product, but it turns out that the toy isn’t just interacting with us, it’s also built to interact with an attraction that we’re riding. Woah. ©Disney According to the patent, “One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a system for delivery of an attraction experience… The…processor can: control delivery of the virtual portion of the attraction experience via the content presentation system; detect presence of a non-ride device…for example, a toy; and deliver a trigger signal via the transceiver to the non-ride device. In some embodiments, the trigger signal can be linked with the attraction experience.” That’s some big tech talk that’s essentially saying that this patent is for a system that would connect a guest-held toy to a ride system. The connection could trigger specific responses from BOTH the ride and the toy. Basically, the ride will talk to your toy and your toy will talk back — or vice versa! ©Disney The patent notes that this could mean the attraction experience would be modified based on whether or not a passenger had an interactive toy in their possession. The most common example is that the toy is an action figure that directly interacts with a character in the ride. For example, let’s say you’re riding a hypothetical Guardians of the Galaxy themed attraction with your also hypothetical new interactive Groot toy. Groot could know to have positive reactions when he sees Rocket in the ride and negative reactions when he sees a bad guy. These interactions could include audio reactions such as saying something and physical reactions like moving arms and legs. The toy could also help riders to accomplish tasks in the ride. AND these little guys could be outfitted with memory so that they could learn. Maybe Groot LIKES a certain alien at the start and then that alien does something bad so Groot doesn’t like them anymore. Next time you ride, Groot would start out not liking that alien. ©Disney As mentioned, the toy could change the ride story as well. Maybe the ride goes one way if none of the riders have the toy, and the story progresses differently if the toy is detected. This concept was SUPER surprising for us to see in tech and definitely interesting to learn about. Could we be taking our interactive toys on attraction adventures with us someday? Maybe. We’re eager to see! As always, stay tuned to DFB to learn more about the latest Disney tech! Click here to learn more about the Disney Metaverse!

It’s almost a whole new month in Disney World! EPCOT If you’re headed to the Most Magical Place on Earth, we want to make sure you’re packed for whatever weather this Florida winter throws at you! So, is this the week for t-shirts and sunglasses, raincoats and boots, or scarves and jackets? Could it be all three? We’re bringing you an update on the forecast next week! Weather Forecast According to The Weather Channel, this week is going to be a bit of a whirlwind when it comes to weather — in more ways than one! Last week was very warm, but this week we’re going to see fickle temps and high winds. Take a look! February 1st Monday, February 1st will start the week with cooler temperatures than the ones we’ve been seeing. That day is going to max out at a 62-degree high and we’ll see 42 degrees at night. Hmm… That’s going to feel pretty chilly once the sun goes down! ©The Weather Channel Add in 15 to 20 mile-per-hour winds and even the daytime might have you catching a chill every so often. February 2nd The next day, February 2nd, brings us our coolest temperatures of the week with the high-50s during the day and the low-40s at night. ©The Weather Channel Those winds are going to be on the higher side this day too, so you’d definitely want to layer up and maybe bring a hat to cover your ears! February 3rd On Wednesday, February 3rd, we’re going to see temps jump back up a little bit to the level we started the week. See, we told you we were in for some wacky temperature patterns! ©The Weather Channel This day should be relatively nice with slightly lower winds and a cooler night. February 4th For Thursday, February 4th, we’re seeing a big jump up during the day to the mid-70s and a similar jump in the evening to the high 50s. ©The Weather Channel This is a day you’re going to want to make sure you break out those layers. 76 degrees is toasty, but if you’re out later that 59-degree low could leave you shivering. February 5th The week continues with another jump in temperatures and a still windy day on February 5th. ©The Weather Channel There are showers in the forecast but they shouldn’t arrive until after midnight. That likely won’t have an effect on your Disney day! February 6th Saturday, February 6th brings us similar temperatures in the day and night. This is the day we’ll be seeing some rain so make sure you break out that poncho or rain jacket. ©The Weather Channel Here, we’re looking at a 78-degree high and a 59-degree low. February 7th And we’ll wrap up our week on February 7th with the warmest temperatures sitting at a toasty 81-degree high and a comfy 61-degree low. ©The Weather Channel Those winds mellow out a bit here too! Overview of the Week Here is a full overview of the week according to The Weather Channel. Temperatures fluctuate over the course of the week but seem to get warmer as the week goes on. We’re looking at a range of 50s to 80s highs and 40s to 60s lows. ©The Weather Channel Other websites like Click Orlando News 6… ©Click Orlando News 6 …and WESH 2 News have similar forecasts throughout the week. ©WESH Now, Florida weather is subject to change, and with this much day-to-day variation in the forecast, we almost expect it to! Remember to continue checking your weather app as you get closer to your trip and during your trip as well. Click here for tips to survive Disney World weather! How Should You Plan? If you are jetting off for a Disney World trip next week, we’ve got a few tips on how to plan for the weather! It’s time to pack those layers! It’s weeks like this, especially where layers are important. The days might be a little too warm and the nights might be too cold. The number one way to combat this is to pack those layers in your luggage and in your park bag each day. Hats Plus, you’re going to need a variety of warm and cool clothes in general with the amount the temperatures are fluctuating. Remember, you can always take layers off in the park, but you can’t add them if you don’t bring them! Pack for rain and sun! There’s only a little bit of rain in the forecast but that doesn’t mean you should leave that rain jacket at home. First off, it’s pretty uncomfy to be soaked in a theme park, and second, you never know when rain can pop up! Plus, rain jackets can be a HUGE asset when you’re trying to get a ride in on Splash Mountain. Fantasyland in the rain Plus, winter suns can actually be pretty harsh on your skin! Don’t think that just because it’s winter you can skip out on the lathering up in the morning. We’re seeing sunny days and heat and you DON’T want to find yourself burned because skipped the sunscreen. Yep, even in January! Click here for more tips for packing your park bag! We hope you have oh-so-much fun in Disney World and we’ll check in again next week! Click here for the latest news from Magic Kingdom!

We love a good Disney nighttime spectacular. Who doesn’t? Fireworks Every time we get to see a new nighttime show in the Disney parks, we tend to be wowed by the technological advancements they’ve implemented. Did you ever imagine you would see Cinderella Castle transform the way it does thanks to projection mapping on Happily Ever After? Now, Disney is working on a NEW way to light up the sky at the end of your park day. Yesterday, we spotted a patent filed by Disney for a “Themed Aerial Vehicle Entertainment Platform for Providing Dynamically-Coordinated Show.” Basically, they’re working on a themed drone that would be able to fly in sync with other elements during a nighttime spectacular. ©Disney The patent notes, “The description relates to a new system or platform…adapted for providing a dynamically-coordinated show…to entertain guests of a facility such as a theme park, an outdoor sporting stadium, a cruise ship, and so on.” Woah, that’s another sign that we might see DRONES in the Disney theme parks! ©Disney This particular patent shows imagery of what would be a flying pirate ship, just like the one from Peter Pan! Now, interestingly enough, we’ve seen a patent for a drone-powered flying pirate ship before, but that one looked a little bit different. ©Disney We’re not sure if these patents are just working on general tech or if they’re for something specific. It is interesting that BOTH focus on a flying pirate ship as an example. Maybe we’ll be seeing Hook’s ship in an upcoming nighttime spectacular in one of the Disney parks around the world! Fantasmic Pirate Ship Regardless, it is VERY cool to get a glimpse at how Disney might make one of these drones look like recognizable icons. As always, stay tuned to DFB for all of the latest updates from Disney’s patents and permits! Click here to see other ways that drones could be used!
