We have been soaking in all of the NEW things that have recently opened in Disney World, like the beautiful new EPCOT entrance fountain and the delicious Gideon’s Bakehouse. But, there’s still quite a few projects that have been delayed following the temporary closure of the theme parks. EPCOT We are no stranger to construction walls and an “in-progress” status when it comes to projects around Disney World. Though, we’re starting to wonder what’s happening with some highly anticipated restaurants that were seemingly announced eons ago. Space 220 Guests dining at the new EPCOT restaurant, Space 220, will be transported 220 miles above earth via elevator to the Centauri Space Station, where they will dine off a menu of internationally-inspired cuisine, wine, and craft beer. The meal comes with an even better setting — panoramic views of outer space! But, we’re finding ourself constantly asking, will we ever get to dine at Space 220? Space 220 Concept Art ©Disney The opening date of this immersive restaurant has been pushed back multiple times. BUT we actually got to see some progress recently! The construction walls around the entrance came down at the end of December, revealing what looks like a sign for the restaurant. This Area Used to be Behind Construction Walls Hopefully this means that we’re approaching an opening date and will be able to get a look inside the new restaurant soon. Space 220 Construction But, for now, we’re still waiting for take-off. Here’s more photos of the construction walls coming down around Space 220! La Crêperie de Paris Heading on over to the France Pavilion in EPCOT, there’s another restaurant that is still under construction. La Crêperie de Paris was slated to open alongside Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure this past summer, but there have been significant delays due to the theme park closure. Crêpes à Emporter La Crêperie de Paris will be both a quick-service AND a table-service restaurant and will feature a delightful menu from celebrity chef Jérôme Bocuse. We’ve seen quite a bit of progress on the France Pavilion recently, with construction walls down in many areas that allow guests to wander through a bit of the expansion. La Creperie de Paris Construction walls are still up next to the dining location, but you can see the outdoor queue, and some other unique details. There looks to be a location for the menu on the building, window details that say “Crêpes à emporter” which translates to “crepes to go,” and designs on the molding around the windows. La Creperie de Paris Needless to say, we can’t wait to explore inside! Disney has announced that the restaurant will opening in 2021 with Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure so we expect more and more construction progress in the coming months! Here’s a first look at La Creperie de Paris! Beatrix Outside of EPCOT, there are even more restaurants underway. Over at Disney Springs, we’ve been tracking the construction progress on Beatrix. The new restaurant is taking over the former location of Bongos that closed back in August, 2020. It will serve up health-food in a grab-and-go market style with a coffee shop AND a “neighborhood restaurant.” Beatrix Construction Unfortunately, it was announced back in September that construction would be on pause and there has been no update — or seemingly progress — on construction since. For now, onlookers get a view of construction walls when they’re walking around Disney Springs. Read MORE about Beatrix here! Roundup Rodeo BBQ We were that we’d be trying all the ribs and corn on the cob we could get our hands on at Roundup Rodeo by now, but construction walls still separate us form the new restaurant at Hollywood Studios. The new dining experience will immerse guests in Andy’s rodeo creation We’ve seen concept art and an aerial look of the colorful restaurant serving up BBQ, but that’s really about it. Roundup Rodeo Construction Walls with Concept Art Disney had announced that the new table-service restaurant would be opening sometime in 2020, but there has been no updates since. At least we can confirm there’s definitely been a delay since we’re now about a month into 2021. Roundup Rodeo construction Andy must need some extra time to get all his play sets ready for us to visit. Take a look at a rare glimpse of Roundup Rodeo construction! Hopefully, we will have more details regarding opening timelines for these projects. And we will be sure to share the latest as construction progress!

Sometimes, you just gotta chow down on a little cake inspired by your favorite new TV show. Amorettes Luckily, we’ve had lots of chances since Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs has been releasing a whole slew of WandaVision-inspired retro TV cakes themed after the various episodes of the show. We’ve given two of them a try so far, and now ANOTHER WandaVision petite cake is here! Today, January 29th, Amorette’s is releasing the fourth cake in the series (to go along with the fourth episode that’s also out today on Disney+). We’ve already seen a ’50s cake, ’60s cake, and ’70s cake. Now, the new cake will take us right to the ’80s with Wanda and Vision! ©Disney We’ve given a couple of these cakes a try and we’ve really enjoyed the light and decadent cake with vanilla and chocolate. Be warned, it’s a LOT of fondant! If you’re not a fan of the taste, you’ll want to eat around it — but that’s what makes these cakes look so realistic! WandaVision Petit Cake This new cake looks similar to the ’70s cake with a color picture of Wanda and Vision on the screen. The catch? Wanda’s got that BIG ’80s hair. You go, girl! ’70s ‘WandaVision’ Petite Cake! You can try the newest WandaVision petite cake for yourself at Amorette’s Patisserie January 29th through February 4th while supplies last.

The Free Dining Offer has been a staple offering from Disney World fairly regularly since it first debuted in 2005. Magic Kingdom With the complex situation that is the current global health crisis (including the suspension of the Disney Dining Plan), we’re wondering if there will be a Free Dining deal at ALL in 2021? Let’s break down what could happen. What is Free Dining? The Disney World Free Dining Offer is a special offer that Disney typically releases each year, often during times that crowds are expected to be lower. Free Dining grants guests free Disney Dining Plans when they book a Disney Resort hotel stay and Disney theme park tickets. This means free meals and snacks per guest for the length of their stay. Typically, it’s a very exciting deal that some guests even plan their vacations around. After all, going to Disney World and not paying for most of your food costs can seem quite tempting! Riviera Resort In the past, guests have needed to book a minimum stay in a Disney resort (in recent offers, the minimum has been three nights). Guests must also purchase at least a 2-day Magic Your Way Disney World ticket with Park Hopper. So basically, you need to plan to book a full vacation with Disney. No picking and choosing here. Polynesian Village Resort Normally, if you stay at a Value Resort, you’ll receive the Quick Service Dining Plan for FREE, meaning you’ll get two fast-food type meals and two snacks per night per person. If you reserve a Moderate, Deluxe, or Deluxe Villa Resort, you will receive the Standard Dining Plan for FREE. This grants each guest a fast food meal, two snacks, and a sit-down meal of their choice per day. All of the Dining Plans come with a complimentary refillable resort mug per guest for non-alcoholic beverages the length of their stay as well. Refillable Mugs Usually, we see the offer one to two times each year. In the past, Free Dining has been offered during late Summer and early Fall, as well as during mid-Winter after the holidays have wrapped up. Dole Whip In 2019 (We’re looking at 2019 since 2020 was so irregular.), Free Dining was offered two times, once for dates July 5 – September 30, 2019 (bookable January through February), and once for dates September 1 through September 18, 2019, November 17 through November 27, 2019, and December 8 through December 23, 2019 (bookable July through September). Corn Dog Nuggets We’re now midway through January and have yet to see a Free Dining offer or even the return of the Disney Dining Plan. Click here to learn more about the suspension of the Disney Dining Plan! What needs to happen for Free Dining to return? Well, first of all, the functionality of the Disney Dining Plan needs to return. Can’t have FREE Dining Plans if there’s no Dining Plan to give away in the first place, right? This offering has been unavailable since the reopening of Disney World last July. We have seen tiny glimmers of the Dining Plan still around Disney World though. Via Napoli Since Disney World reopened, we’ve noticed the Disney Dining Plan symbol pop up on festival menus at EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, and EPCOT Festival of the Arts. So, they appear to be somewhat prepared for if/when they decide to bring back the Dining Plan. Still, there has been no word of its return. Deconstructed Dish Menu Disney could be waiting to confirm once availability for their restaurants has increased or waiting until restaurant closures and limited capacity are no longer heavily affecting dining. Disney will need to reopen enough locations and increase capacity that the full value of the Dining Plans is achievable. At this time, the restaurants continue to operate at a limited capacity although Disney has not released the exact numbers. If Disney offered a Free Dining Plan to guests again, they’d need to be sure they could pay out on the promise of guests having fair access to enough dining options to make the plans worthwhile for guests Liberty Tree Tavern Spread They also may need to adjust the way that the Dining Plan is sold to account for the lower capacities and still-closed locations across Disney World restaurants. This could come in the form of modifications to the plans themselves, fewer plans being sold, and even price changes. The Crystal Palace Reopening Now, we should note that the full spectrum of the Dining Plan does not NECESSARILY need to return for Free Dining to be offered again. It’s not completely implausible that Free Dining could be offered as the ONLY application of the Dining Plan (meaning you couldn’t choose to buy it for your trip — you could only book a Free Dining offer) as a draw for guests, but more on that in a sec. Want to learn more about the limited Annual Pass sales? Click here! What reasons does Disney have to bring back the Free Dining offer? We’ve discussed before the far-reaching consequences of the global health crisis. As the country falls into a recession and consumers’ desire to travel is low due to health concerns, Disney World has and will continue to be affected. Magic Kingdom After similar situations in the past such as the 2008 recession and the low travel levels following 9/11, Disney ramped up special offers to bring in guests during the multi-year low demand periods — especially in the year immediately following the given crisis. Spaceship Earth At this time, demand tends to be low. With the parks at 35% capacity, Disney is rarely booking all four parks up on any given day outside of holiday periods. Low Crowds in Animal Kingdom Free Dining, as we mentioned, is a very popular deal and could easily act as a catalyst for bringing in guests if Disney chose to offer it. We’ve already seen some pretty aggressive offers for Florida Residents and with hotel savings. If Disney continues to see a need to draw in guests, Free Dining is a tool in Disney’s toolbox that we could see them use to encourage demand. To learn more about how the global situation is affecting Disney, click here! So, will there be Free Dining in 2021? The long and short of it is that we’re not ruling it out, but it’s still too soon to say for sure. Even though things are far from back to normal in Disney World, it’s possible that offerings will start to return as soon as global conditions show significant improvement. We’ve already seen one big return this year — Park Hopping is back (albeit slightly modified)! If Disney decides that Free Dining is the appropriate move to draw guests in again or if the Disney Dining Plan returns (or both), we might have a Free Dining offer this year. Mickey Mouse We’ll be keeping a close eye to see if signs point to this happening. Indicators could include increases in restaurant capacity, more restaurants reopening, the return of more character dining, or the appearance of other MAJOR discounts and incentives that show that Disney is ready to turn on the works when it comes to bringing in guests. Chefs de France dining room tables As for WHEN Free Dining could return is largely dependant on the crowds. If conditions improve by summer, guests may return in larger numbers, meaning Free Dining isn’t needed to boost interest until fall or winter, when we’ve often seen it in the past. BUT, if summer rolls around and people just aren’t visiting in the numbers Disney expects, it’s not out of the realm of possibility. We’ll keep you updated on all of these indicators and more!

It’s been over one year since the coronavirus pandemic hit America, and now a new variant of the COVID-19 has arrived in Florida’s Orange County. Florida Sunset The UK variant of COVID-19, which is said to be more contagious than other strains, was found in two people visiting Orange County, where Orlando and Walt Disney World are, from Broward and Seminole counties, according to WKMG-TV. Overall, 92 cases of the COVID-19 variant are in the Sunshine State. Dr. Raul Pino, the Director of the Florida Department of Health in Orange County, said that doesn’t necessarily mean that the UK variant is spreading across the Orlando area. “That is not to say that variant must be out there because it’s everywhere, but we don’t have any concrete evidence that it is in county residents at this point. We have not detected it. It doesn’t mean that it’s not there,” he stated. Florida Palm Trees Other variants, including those from South Africa and Brazil have yet to be found in Florida. However, the South African variant was found in South Carolina. Flight from Orlando Though the UK variant of the coronavirus is more contagious, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said there is no evidence that this strain causes more severe illness or increased risk of death. How can you protect yourself while in Orlando? Wear a mask, wash your hands frequently with warm soap and water, avoid touching your face, and keep a safe distance from others, especially while at Walt Disney World. Timmy the Dino in a face mask Of course, Disney World requires guests to wear a face covering at all times except for when actively eating or drinking and distanced from other people.

There is quite a lot of construction going on all around Walt Disney World, and especially over at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort The guests rooms at the hotel are getting a Moana-inspired makeover, and we’ve seen some massive construction going on at the Great Ceremonial House and monorail station as part of the refurbishments. Now, part of the pool area at the hotel will be closing soon for a bit of refurbishment as well. According to the Disney World website, Kiki Tikis Splash Play Area at the Polynesian “will be closed while it undergoes refurbishment from February through March 2021.” While Kiki Tikis is unavailable, guests will still be able to enjoy the Lava Pool and slide, as well as the Oasis Pool.

Thinking of visiting Disney World soon? Together Again Face Mask Then, you’ve probably seen that Disney World currently requires all guests ages 2 and up to wear an appropriate face covering. With distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine now underway for some groups, Disney has updated their mask policy and we’re sharing all the details here with you. According to the Walt Disney World website, face masks are still required for all guests ages 2 and up as well as Cast Members, INCLUDING those who have received a COVID-19 vaccine. So, even if you have already received your coronavirus vaccine, you will still be required to wear a face mask while at Walt Disney World. Pandora Face Masks Guests are reminded to bring their own face coverings and wear them at all times, except when actively eating or drinking while stationary and keeping an appropriate physical distance from others. Face masks should also be removed when swimming, and can be removed at relaxation zones. Face Mask Sign Some of the newest masks being worn are those with a clear, plastic panel over the mouth area, similar to the one in the photo below. If you’d like to wear a mask of this kind to Disney World, here are the rules you MUST follow. ©Amazon The face covering MUST be made of a fabric mask featuring a solid plastic panel that contains NO openings. Additionally, the solid plastic panel MUST be attached to the fabric of the face mask on ALL sides using a tight knit stitching. In addition, the face mask must meet all of the following requirements: Be made with at least 2 layers of breathable material Fully cover the nose and mouth and secure under the chin Fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face Be secured with ties or ear loops and allow the Guest to remain hands-free Face Masks So, be sure to check if your mask meets all of these requirements. Also, note that neck gaiters, open-chin triangle bandanas, and face coverings containing valves, mesh material, or holes of any kind are not allowed. Festival of the Arts Mask Disney has also specifically noted that the use of a face mask is not a substitute for physical distancing. So, keep in mind that even though you’ll be wearing a face mask in the park, you’ll still need to maintain an appropriate physical distance from others. Social Distancing Sign These are all important rules to keep in mind in advance of your next trip. We’ll continue to look for more updates from Disney about face coverings as the situation with the global pandemic continues. Be sure to check back with us here at DFB for all the latest news.

Disney Parks all over the world closed last year, with Disneyland remaining closed, while others have reopened and shut down again. Main Street, U.S.A. Although Disney World has remained reopened since last summer, COVID-19 cases in Florida have steadily been on the rise. According to First Coast News, the White House Task Force has now recommended that Florida should close all gyms, bars, and restaurants in the state. This recommendation comes after a rise in hospitalizations that has put Florida in the red zone. Disney World Street Signs Bars, restaurants, and gyms are places where masks aren’t worn 100% of the time, which is why the recommendations only cover those specific business types. It’s also unclear if this recommendation includes restaurants and bars with outdoor seating. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has previously spoken out against another lockdown in the state. Disney World during closures ©WESH 2 Today, according to First Coast News, Governor DeSantis did not mention the White House Task Force recommendation, but did say the following: “We believe every job is essential…You work in a restaurant, we have your back. If you are a hair stylist, we protect your right to earn a living and if you are a parent we ensure your kids have the right to in-person learning. Lockdowns do not work.” Cinderella Castle If these measures were implemented, it could affect Disney World, which is home to more than 200 restaurants. At the moment, Disney World restaurants are still operating with limited capacity, although the state of Florida removed capacity limits for restaurants last September. Be Our Guest Florida officials have not yet made an official statement about the White House Task Force’s recommendations, but if they do, we’ll be sure to let you know.

EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts has LOTS of unique finds. Festival of the Arts We’ve seen live entertainment, hidden characters, and a paint-by-number mural! But the exhibits often have some amazing wares to show off, too. After all, the stunning artisanship is what makes Festival of the Arts so…artsy. Today, we found something we have to show you! American sculptor Michael Maiden’s hand-crafted tables blew us away. He is currently the only sculptor in the world that Disney commissions to recreate the characters in bronze, and we absolutely understand why. Just look at this Little Mermaid table! Michael Maiden Table The tables are made with a patina process of forced oxidation. After sculpting, casting, and assembling the table, the bronze is heated up with a torch. Then, various chemicals are introduced to get those vibrant colors we see. Michael Maiden Table Each piece takes approximately 6 months to make and is handmade to order. Michael Maiden Table Here’s a closer look at the details on this Beauty and the Beast table: There are only 330 tables in the world getting made, and each costs between $29,000 and $35,000. Yes, that’s over 30k. Aren’t they incredible?! If only we had an extra 30k lying around! If you want to visit this exhibit for yourself, Michael Maiden will be visiting from February 4th through February 11th. We’ll keep you posted with more Festival of the Arts updates here at DFB!

Check out our FULL REVIEW of the Peanut Butter Cannoli! Disney Springs Construction Update M&M’s Store This week, we saw some more GIANT additions to the exterior of the upcoming M&M’s Store.
