While out and about in Disney today, we discovered a brand-new accessory — and it’s made of sequins! Mickey and Minnie We’ve spotted a lot of new Minnie Mouse merchandise lately: an entire polka dot collection, a new Loungefly Minnie collection, and more. But today, we found a sparkly, ruby-colored, Minnie Mouse-lover’s dream. This new Minnie hat is at Ink and Paint at Art of Animation — and we also found it at World of Disney in Downtown Disney! It’s a brimmed hat with Minnie’s name on the front, in classic Mickey Mouse cartoon font. Minnie Hat Minnie’s trademark flower is also sticking out of the top! We love this nod to her cute cartoon style. Minnie Hat We’ve also spotted the hat in other Walt Disney World Resorts like Everything POP at Pop Century! You can find ears similar to this new hat around the parks as well. Minnie Hat The hat is $27.99 and can be found in both Disney World and Disneyland. It sure is a sequin overload, but if you’re into glamorous Minnie style then this is for you! Stay tuned to DFB for more fun finds and park news! Click Here to Check Out the New Minnie Mouse Ears!

Changes are coming to Magic Kingdom’s Jungle Cruise attraction, Walt Disney World announced Monday. Changes are coming to Magic Kingdom’s Jungle Cruise attraction, Walt Disney World announced Monday. The enhancements, scheduled to be made later this year, will include new scenes and an emphasis on diversity in backgrounds and interests, a Disney World spokeswoman said. It will also shift the ride’s story line some, but the wisecracking cast members acting as jungle skippers will remain on board. “As Imagineers, it’s our responsibility to ensure experiences we create and stories we share reflect the voices and perspectives to the world around us,” said Carmen Smith, executive creative development and inclusion strategies for Walt Disney Imagineering. “With Jungle Cruise, we’re bringing to life more of what people love — the humor and wit of our incredible skippers while making needed updates.” The attraction has been criticized for its portrayals of headhunters and the use of the term “savages.” Calls for change flared last year after Disney said it would change its Splash Mountain, another Magic Kingdom ride, removing the “Song of the South” characters in favor of a theme based on “The Princess and the Frog.” “As part of this story update, we’ll get to follow a skipper and his passengers as their journey goes awry,” Kevin Lively, an Imagineer and former skipper at Disneyland’s Jungle Cruise, said in a video on the official Disney Parks Blog. “For the first time ever, the skipper role will not only be that of a live, experienced and witty guide, but also represented by a show figure within the attraction itself,” he said. Disney renderings released Monday show five explorers — including two women and people of color — escaping the horn of a rhino by climbing an aging tree. The figures are hauling equipment such as a camera, telescopes painting supplies and butterfly nets. In another piece of concept art, several chimps take over a wrecked Jungle Cruise boat. “The skippers of the Jungle Cruise bring humor to guests of all ages, and we’re exited to be adding to that legacy — along with a new animated skipper figure — by celebrating their adventures and influences,” said Chris Beatty, creative executive, Walt Disney Imagineering. More details about changes in scenes will be revealed later, the spokeswoman said. Chimps take over a boat in an upcoming scene from Jungle Cruise at Magic Kingdom. The Disneyland version of the attraction will also be receiving the enhancements from Walt Disney Imagineering. (Walt Disney Co. / Courtesy photo) Jungle Cruise is one of the attractions that debuted on Magic Kingdom’s opening day in 1971. The alterations also will be done at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, where it appeared on that theme park’s opening day in 1955. The current rendition at Magic Kingdom purports to guide passengers on tropical rivers of the world. Along the way they encounter gorillas, hippos, elephants, snakes, lions, zebras, hyenas, waterfalls, a shrunken-head salesman and a boatload of punny dad jokes. In 2013, Disney introduced a seasonal version of the Magic Kingdom attraction dubbed Jingle Cruise. In late 2015, the park opened Jungle Navigation Co. Ltd. Skipper Canteen, a sit-down restaurant that’s a companion to the attraction and serves “world-famous jungle cuisine.” Production is complete on a “Jungle Cruise” movie starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt. It’s currently slated for release July 30. Over the years, Disney has made updates to rides, including the addition of the Captain Jack Sparrow animatronics inside Pirates of the Caribbean in 2006, followed by changes to auction scene, which reimagined the Redd character as a pirate 2018.

At Disney Parks, we continue to look for ways to enhance classic attractions and elevate the experience for all of our guests. Today, we’re excited to share that we are building on the story of the Jungle Cruise at both Disneyland park at Disneyland Resort and Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World Resort to include new adventures that stay true to the experience we know and love – more humor, wildlife and skipper heart – and also reflect and value the diversity of the world around us.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/As680Mlflro View the full article

HUGE news has just been released regarding the Jungle Cruise attraction in both Disney World and Disneyland. Jungle Cruise Disney will officially be “building on the story” of the attraction on both coasts. The ride will soon include “new adventures that stay true to the experience we know and love – more humor, wildlife and skipper heart – and also reflect and value the diversity of the world around us.” Through these changes, The Jungle Cruise will get its “first continuous story, fantastic updated scenes, colorful new characters, and more.” Jungle Cruise In a D23 interview, Imagineering Creative Portfolio Executive Chris Beatty shared a peek at the new storyline. Beatty said the new storyline really kicks off with that famous rhino pole scene. Beatty shared, “Did you ever wonder who those explorers were or where they came from? What’s their backstory? As part of the enhanced storyline, each one of them will have their own story and cultural heritage.” According to Beatty, the characters climbing up that pole include “a birdwatcher, an entomologist, a wildlife painter, and a photographer, and each one will have a different reason for being on the expedition. And, of course, they did one of the things you’re never supposed to do, which is leave the boat.” Concept Art ©Disney One of the things that is being added to the scene is an “animatronic skipper, who’s been chased up the pole by the rhino, along with the other explorers.” That’s right! For the first time ever, the Jungle Cruise skipper won’t just be represented by your lively guide. The skipper will also be featured within the attraction. Beatty noted, “we’re not really re-envisioning that scene, we’re just adding a narrative and storytelling to bring things to life and connect that moment with other happenings along the river.” Jungle Cruise Wondering what happened to the team of explorers’ boat? Well, according to the new storyline, the front of the boat has been beached upon some rocks, and a family of chimpanzees has moved in. Beatty shares that the “chimpanzees are almost making fun of us.” One chimp will be wearing a skipper’s hat and holding the microphone. The mother chimp is looking at a map, and the little chimp has gotten into the painter’s supplies and made quite the mess. Beatty shares that “It’s the animals really getting the last laugh in this cute scene—these silly explorers really came in and invaded their world.” Concept Art ©Disney You can see more of the description of this new storyline from Kevin Lively, a Disney Imagineer and former Skipper, below. ©Disney Want even more info? Check out the video below. It features Imagineer Kevin Lively discussing some of the changes coming to the attraction’s storyline. Lively is a writer at Imagineering who is working on these changes to the Jungle Cruise and he is actually a former skipper!  In an interview, Beatty was asked why Disney decided to make these changes. In response Beatty noted that they are “constantly evaluating ways to enhance attractions and experiences in our parks.” He noted that Disney wants to “make sure everybody has the best time—that guests from all over the world can connect with the stories we share and that how we bring those to life are respectful of the diverse world we live in.” Beatty said, “When you look at the Jungle Cruise, as it is today, there are just a couple of scenes that don’t do that and needed a refresh.” Jungle Cruise But, Beatty also said it was important for guests to know that they are NOT changing the whole Jungle Cruise. According to Beatty, “This is not a re-envisioning of the entire attraction. It’s the Jungle Cruise you know and love, with the skippers still leading the way, and at the same time, we’re addressing the negative depictions of ‘natives.’ So that’s one of the scenes we’re going to go in and change.” Jungle Cruise Boat Beatty shared that they are really doing their homework to make sure this attraction doesn’t lose its magic. The team is leaning into its skippers to ensure that they feel they have some ownership in this. Disney has also brought together a diverse project team to make sure that anything that is culturally significant is done in the proper light. Dr. Mark Penning from Disney’s Animal Kingdom is also involved to make sure that new elements, including the animals, are portrayed in a respectful way. Beatty noted that they’ve also gone back to the source material — original sketches from Marc Davis for the attraction — and looked at what makes the scenes funny, and what makes the attraction work. ©Disney According to Disney, Imagineers will be inviting current Jungle Cruise skippers from both Disney World and Disneyland to hear more about the new adventures and wonders coming the attraction. Some skippers have already been invited to hear about these upcoming changes. According to Beatty, in their feedback, the skippers said that the new storyline “feels like classic Jungle Cruise, like something that has always been there.” ©Disney Beatty has noted that classic jokes that fans know and love — like the backside of water — will be kept. But, skippers will have some new material to play off of. “The backside of water!” Beatty also confirmed that the changes coming to the ride are focused on “enhancing the existing attraction storyline and addressing some areas that needed refreshing along the way.” The new Jungle Cruise film opening later this year will not be integrated into the attraction as part of this effort. Will they be putting Easter Eggs in the attraction? Beatty said they’d definitely do that, but they’re not adding a major storyline or character from the movie into the ride. ©Walt Disney Studios If you’re wondering whether things will be different in Disneyland vs. Disney World, Beatty has noted that they will be telling the same story on both coasts. The scenes they’ll be adjusting in the ride will be the same. ©Disney In terms of a timeframe, Beatty said the team is working hard to try to get everything in this year. At this time, a date for when the attraction will close in Disney World has not been shared. We will continue to update this post and will share more details as they are released.

As the new year kicks off, we’ve seen lots of updates come to the parks. Magic Kingdom Both Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios recently received updated park maps to reflect these changes, and now it’s Magic Kingdom’s turn! The new park map features the reimagined Cinderella Castle with some pink accents. How magical! Magic Kingdom Park Map Some of the most noticeable additions to the map include the new walkway to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. Additionally, Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom has been removed to reflect its closure. Magic Kingdom Park Map A variety of food spots like Crystal Palace, Cinderella’s Royal Table, Gaston’s Tavern, and Friar’s Nook were added. Westward Ho Refreshments and the Spring Roll Snack Cart were also added — which is interesting considering the Spring Roll cart is temporarily closed. Magic Kingdom Park Map Over in Tomorrowland Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor, which remains temporarily closed, was removed from the map. Meanwhile, The Lunching Pad and Tomorrowland Terrace were both added.

If you’re “walkin’ right down the middle of Main Street, U.S.A.” in Magic Kingdom today, you may notice that things look a bit different. Magic Kingdom’s Main Street, U.S.A. To your left from the park’s entrance stands Engine Co. 71, and typically you can step inside this Town Square Fire Station. But that’s not currently the case… . The Fire Station is closed for the moment, with the entrance completely sealed. Main Street Firehouse This closure of the building goes hand in hand with the ending of the long-running Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom experience in the park. You see, the Fire Station served as the Recruitment Center where guests could start their Sorcerers gaming adventure. Recruitment Center in the Firehouse Aside from serving as the Recruitment Center, the Firehouse also displays donated patches from firehouses near and far (which you can see on the right in the photo above). We don’t know how long the Firehouse will remain closed, or what’s in store for the building moving forward. But you can bet we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled and keeping you posted!

The last spell was cast yesterday at the Magic Kingdom as part of the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom experience. Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom cards Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom opened in 2012 and brought guests on a magic card game that allowed guests to interact with all kinds of special elements in the park. 9 years later, January 24th, 2021 marked the end of the Magic Kingdom game. Initially when we asked about the closure, Cast Members were under the impression that this would be a temporary closure. Today, we were told that this is now expected to be a permanent closure. Main Street Firehouse Therefore, it looks like Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom is gone for good. Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom Magic Portal We are sad (and we know many of our readers are as well) to see this interactive game go and we are curious to see if a new game or experience will replace it.

Recently, Disney announced that the Disneyland Annual Passholder program will be discontinued. Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle Some Annual Passholders may be entitled to a refund, and we recently broke down Disney’s rather complex refund policy. But ever since the discontinuation of the Annual Pass program was announced, we’ve wondered what will replace it. Recently, we got a peek at some of the factors being considered for this new membership program. But, now we’ve got LOTS more information about what a future of Disneyland membership pass could look like. According to The Orange County Register, Disneyland has started to send surveys to its passholders via email to see what the most popular option combinations and price points would be for the new membership program that will replace the annual pass program. Annual Passholder Magnet According to Disney officials, the surveys and other research will help inform the development of the future Disneyland membership options designed to provide members with choice, flexibility, and value. The OCR obtained information from the DAPS Magic fan site, which collected 8 different membership packages from the surveys. In the various surveys sent out, Disneyland asked about a wide variety of options and prices to see what resonates best with their fans. All of these give us a better idea of what a future Disneyland membership option could include. Disneyland Price Membership prices in the surveys ranged from $399 to $1,399. This is similar to what prices for annual passes at Disneyland were in 2019. In 2020, pass prices ranged from $419 to $1,449. Features The features associated with the memberships presented in the surveys also varied. All of the memberships discussed in the surveys did appear to require members to get advance reservations to visit the parks. The surveys also presented membership options that would allow passholders to make 2, 4, or even 6 reservations at a time. Additionally, the reservation windows presented in the surveys ranged from 60 to 120 days. The requirement for advance reservations could be a temporary thing set in place due to state guidelines, or it could end up being a long-term requirement with these passes. Disney California Adventure Some of the membership options discussed in the surveys also offered 1 or 2 “blockout day tickets” which could be used on days when a passholder can’t access Disneyland or Disney California Adventure Park due to the blockout calendar. Some memberships presented in the surveys also included “Anytime reservations.” These would provide the member with the ability to visit the parks on short notice, without an advance reservation. In the surveys, some memberships offered 2, 4, or even 6 “anytime reservations,” while other memberships offered none at all. Storytellers Statue Another new feature discussed in some of the membership options in the surveys is the availability of a dedicated entrance to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure just for passholders. We’ve seen something similar implemented at Disney World where Passholders have their own dedicated lines at the entrance to the parks. EPCOT Passholder Entrance Sign The surveys also discussed providing members with discounts. Some memberships offered discounts on Friends & Family tickets and for tickets to special events. The surveys also discussed discounts on food and merchandise with discounts ranging from 10% to 30% depending on the membership. The memberships discussed in the surveys also touched on parking. Some membership options presented in the surveys included parking in their price. Others included 50% off or 20% off parking. The surveys also presented some memberships that included MaxPass, and others that did not. Similarly, some memberships presented in the surveys appear to include PhotoPass while others do not. Parking Self Pay station has arrived in Downtown Disney Disneyland has not officially made any statements as to how the new membership program will work. Disneyland could offer a single type of membership, a number of different membership options with different prices and features, or it could allow members to have a bit more flexibility and choice as to what they want. Keep in mind, some of these features discussed in the surveys could be included in future tickets, or they could just be used by Disney to get a sense of what fans might prefer.

Every once and a while, we’re pretty shocked by the price tag on something at Disney World. Disney Springs We’ve seen bags that cost $425 and $600 ears. Talk about expensive. But that’s not all! Now, your little one can dress up like a princess…for the cool cost of $350. Yes, $350. We’ve seen wedding dresses cheaper than that. We’ve previously spotted these royal gowns at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, but now they’ve made their way over to Disney Springs! We found Belle and Cinderella’s dresses in The Dress Shop in Marketplace Co-Op. Cinderella and Belle Signature Collection Dresses Both dresses are part of the Disney Princess Signature Collection. And though pricey, those tiny details sure are stunning. The Cinderella dress features elegant detailing on the bodice and an overskirt just like Cindy’s. Cinderella Signature Collection Dress On the back, the leafy detailing continues. Buttons also run down the bodice. Cinderella Signature Collection Dress The Belle dress is similarly extravagant. Here we have yellow buttons running down the back of the bodice, leading to some yellow roses. The ruffled skirt has some more smaller roses, and the tulle at the bottom looks perfect for twirling in a ballroom. Belle Signature Collection Dress The swirly floral detailing is fit for a princess. The dress is gorgeously golden…but remember that price tag? Belle Signature Collection Dress We’re not too sure about spending $350 on these when cheaper options exist for princess dress-up days. But if you want to splurge for a positively royal adventure, this just may be for you! Would you drop $350 for these dresses? Let us know! Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney shopping news and updates!

Did you see, it’s FINALLY here — the moment we’ve all been waiting for — watermelon dole whip! Minnie Watermelon Dole Whip Cup Last week, Disney delivered BIG news for dole whip fans and released a NEW FLAVOR at Disney Springs for a very limited time! The new secret menu item was pulled straight from our frozen dole whip dreams. But, if you want to give watermelon dole whip a try without all the frills, we confirmed that you can get this dole whip all on its own. Now, this isn’t listed on the menu. But you can order the watermelon dole whip sans Minnie flair! Instead of asking the Cast Member about the new Minnie Dole Whip Watermelon Cup, ask for a cup of watermelon dole whip instead! You’ll find both the cup full of watermelon dole whip and the new secret menu Minnie Watermelon Dole Whip Cup at Marketplace Snacks in Disney Springs. The cup of Dole Whip will cost ya $4.99 which is a a little cheaper than the secret menu item. Watermelon Dole Whip Cup We gave the dole whip another try for a chance at redemption…but we’re still picking up mostly bubblegum flavors. We so desperately want it to taste refreshing like the lemon-lime dole whip, but it’s just not coming through. Watermelon Dole Whip The secret menu item is here for a short stay and so is the watermelon dole whip. So, if you want to give this a try, hurry over to Disney Springs before January 31st!

As a countermeasure to the spread of COVID-19, California Governor Gavin Newsom implemented a system where stay-at-home orders were enacted in regions that fell below 15% ICU capacity. Buena Vista Street Several regions, including Southern California where Disneyland Resort is located, were put under these stay-at-home orders. Now, after California has begun to see recovery from the ICU capacity reaching 0%, the California government has lifted both the stay-at-home orders and the enacted curfew. According to the Orange County Register, state health officials have announced that the regional stay-at-home orders have been lifted as has the 10PM to 5AM curfew. The change will allow many businesses (restaurants included) to resume outdoor operations. Newsom is expected to speak at a press conference later today. Hollywood Sign This change will return the state to a system of county-by-county restrictions determined by the local governments. According to OCR, “The change will allow businesses such as restaurants to resume outdoor operations in many areas, though local officials could choose to continue stricter rules.” Governor Gavin Newsom ©California As of the weekend, the Southern California region remained at 0% ICU capacity. The state government makes policy changes based on a four-week projection model. Disney California Adventure Park As mentioned, this change does mean that restaurants may be able to reopen for outdoor dining. Therefore, we could see the return of outdoor dining at Downtown Disney soon. During the orders, they were limited to to-go orders only. We’ll be sure to take a look at what this means for Disneyland. As always, stay tuned to DFB for the latest updates! Click here to learn more about California’s ICU situation.

If you’re holding on to your Disney Gift Cards, you’re going to want to read this! Batuuan Spira Gift Card Disney Gift Cards are a STAPLE in many a Disney-goers bag, whether they got them as a gift or they’re using them as a budgeting tool. You might remember that Disney announced BIG changes to the Disney Gift Card website and now those changes have been delayed. Here’s what that means for YOU. The Disney Gift Card website (DisneyGiftCard.com) was scheduled for a major update on January 20th. Now, the update has been delayed and will take place on February 3rd. Website Screenshot Once the update is live, you’ll be able to use your existing Disney account to log in, using the same information that you use to access most other Disney websites including shopDisney, My Disney Experience, and more. ©shopDisney Because of this upgrade, all existing DisneyGiftCard.com account details (logins AND gift cards added) will be unavailable after February 2nd. Any Disney Gift Cards you have saved to the existing website will NOT transfer over to the updated site. All current account information will be deleted and won’t be available. Madame Leota Gift Card You’ll need access to your physical Disney Gift Cards, including the full 16-digit account number and EAN to add your cards to the updated website once the change occurs. Your balance WILL NOT change as this information becomes unavailable and Disney advises that you keep your physical and digital Disney Gift Cards with you, as they are required to make a purchase. ©shopDisney As a reminder, here’s what you need to do to make sure you’re prepared for the update: Collect all of your Disney Gift Cards (both physical and digital), and make sure you have access to their FULL 16-digit account numbers and EANs so you can upload them to the new website. If you no longer have the card(s) that you saved to the Disney Gift Card website, you’ll need to transfer the balance(s) to a Gift Card that you do have available. If you don’t have another card to transfer your balance to, you can contact Disney Gift Card Services and provide the original gift card proof of purchase. Once the new website launches, log in to the updated site using your existing Disney account (the one that you use on shopDisney, My Disney Experience, etc.) or create a new account if needed. Visit the My Cards section of the updated website to add or combine cards in your account. Remy’s Disney Gift Card This is a pretty big change and we want to make sure you’re ready for it!

Disney has placed disclaimers on certain classic films on Disney+, noting that they contain negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures. ©Disney But now Disney has completely removed some titles containing “negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures” from children’s accounts on Disney+. According to the Mirror, several movies have been totally REMOVED from Disney+ kids profiles, so now they can only be watched with parental consent. The films removed are Dumbo, Peter Pan, Swiss Family Robinson, Lady and the Tramp, and The Aristocats. Peter Pan’s Flight We tested this out ourselves and the films do not appear on the kids profiles, but do appear on the adults ones. For example, when we searched for Dumbo in a kids account on Disney+, nothing appeared. Screenshot from Disney+ Kids Account In comparison, when we searched for Dumbo on an adult account, both the live action and the original animated film, as well as Operation Dumbo Drop, appeared. Screenshot from Disney+ Adult Account Disney+ notes that the Kids Profiles limit the content accessible to titles rated TV-7FV and G in the United States. The movies removed from the Kids Profiles previously had disclaimers on them, warning viewers that they may contain negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures. They continue to have those disclaimers when viewed through an adult Disney+ account. Dumbo Attraction in Disney World Last year, we asked our readers on Instagram what they think about Disney+ censoring content, and of the 218 initial responses, the majority said they don’t think Disney+ should censor their content. But, others said there should be censoring or censoring in some cases. What are your thoughts on this change? Click here to see what our readers had to say! The films that have been removed from the kids accounts are still visible through Disney+ adult accounts, so it is not as though they’ve been removed from the service entirely. Kids just won’t be able to play them from their own kid-friendly accounts. We’ll continue to keep an eye out for more updates on Disney+ and let you know what we spot.
