  1. Sometimes, fan-favorite attractions go under refurb in Disney World. Skyliner Whether an attraction goes down for five days in a row like Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, or a refurb has gone on for what feels like ages (we’re looking at you PeopleMover), it happens all the time! Although the Skyliner isn’t exaclty an attraction, it has become an integral part of the Disney transportation system, and tomorrow a portion of the Skyliner will be closed. After confirming with a Cast Member, we can confirm that the Skyliner line that takes guests to Disney’s Art of Animation Resort and Disney’s Pop Century Resort will be unavailable on January 24th. Skyliner This line is scheduled to be back up and running the next day, on January 25th. In the meantime, guests at those two resorts will have buses available to get to and from the parks. Screenshot from Disney Chat The Skyliner page on Disney World’s website does not reflect this closure. We’ll be sure to keep you updated on the latest information regarding the Skyliner, so stay tuned! Learn more about the Disney Skyliner here!

  4. What if you could bake with a Disney princess? Snow White Well now you (kind of) can! Disney loves sharing recipes, like these artsy donuts shaped like a paint palette and Baby Yoda’s blue milk macarons. But this recipe has a twist: it’s complete with adorable drawings so we can follow along while Snow White bakes! Plus, January 23rd is National Pie Day, and what better way to celebrate than making a pie! After all, she is FAMOUS for her pie. Let’s dive in and see how Snow White makes Grumpy’s Gooseberry Pie! ©Disney First of all, the ingredients (held up by some helpful little birds)! It’s unlikely that you’ll have gooseberries just laying around, so you may have to look hard for those at the grocery store. ©Disney Next, you’ll want to mix the ingredients together. Be sure to whistle while you work! ©Disney Time to assemble the pie! ©Disney Now it’s time for the finishing touch. After all, it is Grumpy’s pie. ©Disney Time to pop it in the oven! While it bakes for 30-35 minutes at 400 degrees, you can finish some household chores or sing with the birds (or sit and watch some TV). ©Disney And voila! Your gooseberry pie is complete. Dig in and don’t forget to share some with your friends! ©Disney These illustrations are too cute — we love how creative Disney was in bringing us this recipe.

  7. Like all places, things happen at Disney World. Kona Cafe We’ve seen malfunctioning animatronics, evacuations of attractions, and attractions closed due to technical difficulties. But sometimes, problems happen at resorts, too. Today, we learned there is currently a water leak at Disney’s Polynesian Resort. As a result, most of the resort’s dining locations are currently closed, including Kona Cafe. A Cast Member confirmed that reservations have been cancelled for the day. When we visited the location, it was closed, but we didn’t see any evidence of water anywhere. Kona Cafe The Barefoot Pool Bar is also currently closed. Cast Members told us that Capt. Cook’s is only open for bottled water and grab and go items. Barefoot Pool Bar When we looked at placing a Mobile Order at Kona Cafe and Capt. Cook’s, we got the same message for both locations asking us to pick a different location. Kona Cafe Mobile Order To Go Status The lobby restrooms are also currently closed. Closed Restrooms However, Pineapple Lanai is still open if you’re craving a Dole Whip outside the parks. Pineapple Lanai The resort’s gift shops are also still currently open. Gift Shop The resort is currently only open to stays for DVC members, and a Cast Member told us those rooms should be fine. We’ll be sure to keep an eye on the situation and let you know when we have more information. There is no estimation on how long this issue will take to fix, but we’ll keep you updated. NEWS!

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Area in the France Pavilion Fingers crossed this becomes a thing, because we found a hidden detail in the Ratatouille area in EPCOT, and it’s the cutest little surprise ever!

Hidden Remy Clad in his signature chef hat, the little guy is smiling in the middle of the bench! Hidden Remy The overall pattern of the bench is really pretty in and of itself, swirling with elegant shapes and florals, but the Little Chef in the middle of it just ties it all together perfectly!

  9. It’s that time again — that time when we look at all the restaurant and menu updates at Disney World for the week! La Cava del Tequila And we didn’t have that many this week, but be sure to check out some of our reviews for some special snacks we discovered at the parks, including a Valentine’s Day coffee beverage, some yummy marshmallows, and Bubble Tea Mochi! Now on to the updates! This week’s updates include a lot of beverage changes, including some brand new cocktails. There are a few price increases, too, so let’s get to it. Disney World Resorts Territory Lounge We were surprised last month when we dropped by Disney’s Wilderness Lodge and discovered that Territory Lounge had quietly reopened! It’s a cozy lounge with some great cocktails and wine! Territory Lounge However, that wine is now going to cost you a little bit more. We saw quite a few price increases on wines by the bottle and glass this week: Evolution Lucky No. 9 White Blend went from $29 to $39 per bottle and $10 to $12 per glass L’Ecole 41 Chardonnay, Columbia Valley went from $39 to $59 per bottle and $10 to $15 per glass Argyle Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley went from $39 to $59 per bottle and $10 per to $15 per glass Boomtown Merlot, Washington State went from $39 to $49 per bottle and $10 to $12 per glass Chateau Ste. Michelle Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley went from $39 to $49 per bottle and $10 to $12 per glass White Wine at Territory Lounge Some of these price increases are kind of hefty! REVIEW! We’re Getting Our Holiday Sip On at a (Kinda) Reopened Territory Lounge in Disney World! The Chuck Wagon Over at the Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort, The Chuck Wagon has removed all the snacks and treats from its menu! Here’s what’s been taken away: Jalapeño Poppers Onion Rings French Fries Tortilla Chips with Cheese Mickey Pretzel Cuties Mandarin 3-Pack Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar Mickey Premium Ice Cream Sandwich The Chuck Wagon This is one menu that’s been pared down quite a bit. What’s New at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort: Creamsicle Cupcakes and Christmas Decor Still Going Strong! EPCOT The Wave…of American Flavors Tikka Masala is back on the menu at The Wave…of American Flavors at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. It’s been missing from the menu since Disney World reopened, but now it has returned! This vegan plant-based option is Seared Tofu, Jasmine Rice, Oven-roasted Cauliflower, Coconut, and Yellow Curry for $18. The Wave There’s a small change with the Specialty Character Drink, too. Previously, it was listed as Minute Maid Light Lemonade served in a souvenir Character Cup with a glowing Character Clip-on Light. Now, it’s listed as containing Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade. It’s still $8. The Wave Lounge But something to get excited about is that there are FOUR brand new cocktails! Seasonal Sangria – Red Wine and Fresh Seasonal Fruit for $12 Forever Young – Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Cedilla Açaí Liqueur, Muddled Blueberries, Agave Nectar and Lemon Juice for $14 Azul Clásico Margarita – Patrón Silver Tequila, Bols Blue Curaçao, Orange Juice, Agave Nectar and Lime Juice for $14 Seven Seas Lagoon Shared Cocktail – SKYY Vodka, Parrot Bay Coconut Rum, Bols Blue Curaçao, Lime Juice, Pineapple Juice, Fruit Boba, and Gummy Fish for $25 Wild Apple Mule from The Wave There are three new beers to choose from, too! Bold City Duke’s Brown Ale for $9.25 Florida Beer Co. Key West Sunset Ale for $9.25 3 Daughters Blonde Ale for $9.25 Kiss 2020 Goodbye with THREE New Year’s Cocktails at Disney’s Contemporary Resort! La Cava del Tequila It looks like we have some price increases over at La Cava del Tequila for a few cocktails there. Nothing TOO extreme, and these drinks are now only 50 cents more than they were previously: Pina Loca, which is Ginger pineapple juice, Ilegal mezcal, Ancho Reyes chile liquor, black ant salt rim went from $15.50 to $16 Blood Orange Margarita, which is Ambhar blanco tequila, orange liqueur, sweet-tart mix of blood orange, a hint of rum and vanilla, Tajín chile-lime powder rim went from $15.50 to $16 Blood Orange Margarita We’ll be keeping an eye out for any other drinks at La Cava to get a price increase. REVIEW: We Paired Mezcal with Grasshoppers in Disney World…and We Kinda Liked It! Those are all the menu changes this week, but we’ll keep tracking updates and let you know about other changes soon!

  10. Nowadays, plexiglass in Disney World is becoming about as commonplace as cupcakes and popcorn buckets! Plexiglass on Flight of Passage More and more attractions have undergone plexiglass makeovers, both in ride queues and on the rides themselves. And the latest attraction to experience a plexiglass-addition is Pirates of the Caribbean in Magic Kingdom! In previous months since reopening, Pirates of the Caribbean adhered to safety protocols and social distancing measures by spreading out its queue and spacing out parties on the boats. Pirates of the Caribbean It didn’t have plexiglass initially, but that has officially changed for the iconic attraction! Pirates of the Caribbean Plexiglass On our most recent jaunt to the Caribbean, we noticed that the indoor portion of the line now has plexiglass dividers separating the zig-zagging lines. Pirates of the Caribbean Plexiglass The covered outdoor portion still doesn’t have plexiglass, but remains spaced out with floor markers. Pirates of the Caribbean But once we made our way into the inner sanctum, where the line gets tighter and closer, Disney has added a series of plexiglass to ensure guests maintain distance from each other. Pirates of the Caribbean Plexiglass We’ll be on the lookout for more plexiglass to pop up at other Disney World attractions, so stay tuned to DFB for the latest Disney news.

  11. In case it wasn’t clear from our obsession with Halloween decor and gingerbread-flavored everything, we love ALL holidays in Disney World! Raglan Road And not just the biggies, either. From National Polka Dot Day to National Irish Coffee Day, we’re ready to celebrate any and all occasions! Just in time for the latter, one of our fav Irish spots in Disney Springs is celebrating in style, and we’re here for every sip. For fans of whiskey-infused coffee (*raises hand*), National Irish Coffee Day is a pretty big deal. Taking place January 25th, it’s an apt opportunity to cheers to this boozy drink at the one and only Raglan Road in Disney Springs! Raglan Road Naturally, this Irish pub is going all out for the holiday, and we showed up for an early peek at their specials, and let us just say, y’all are in for a TREAT! Raglan Road reopening On January 25th, Raglan Road is doing a special offer for guests all day long. The January 25th Wakeup Call is “You buy the coffee, the whiskey is on us!” Not only that, but the restaurant is rounding out its regular menu with EXTRA coffee-based creations, like the Bush-Tail Nitro, the Iced Irish, and the Bailey’s Shake. Raglan Road Raglan Road was kind enough to give us a sneak peek of all this Irish Coffee action. They also showed us how to make these drinks, which will come in handy when we’re at home and have a hankering for them. Raglan Road Plus, we tried a few bites, because how can you say no to something called “Shepherd’s To Die For Pie”?! So let’s start with the star of the show: the Irish Coffee. Per Raglan Road, the traditional medley is a finely-tuned mix of coffee, whiskey, sugar and cream. Irish Coffee Demonstration This version uses a teaspoon of brown sugar, which gives the drink a slightly sweet flavor, but don’t worry about it being too sugary, because the Paddy’s Old Irish Whiskey packs plenty of punch! Irish Coffee Demonstration In fact, the whiskey is so strong—easily the most prominent flavor in the glass—that it kinda overwhelms the coffee flavor, which we didn’t mind. Irish Coffee Since the drink is layered, the flavors hit at different times. The cream on top lends a smooth sweetness at first, which gives way to darker/stronger notes from the whiskey-fied coffee underneath. Then it finishes with a brown sugar aftertaste, since that’s the ingredient placed in the cup first! Irish Coffee Naturally, your reception of this drink will vary based on the ratio of coffee to whiskey you prefer. If you like your java with a hefty kick, then this is right up your alley. But if you’re looking for something more coffee-forward, you might just want…a coffee? Also, the $15.99 price tag may seem a tad steep if you’re used to standard coffee prices, but when you factor in the amount of whisky in here, we think it’s worth it. It’s Irish Coffee time in Animal Kingdom! Looking for something on the cooler side? Raglan Road has an iced boozy beverage called the Iced Irish! Iced Irish At first glance (and sip), it may seem like regular Irish Coffee, but this thing is filled with surprises! It’s got Paddy’s Irish Whiskey, sure, but also Butterscotch Schnapps and Bailey’s Salted Caramel. Clearly, this one is sweeter than the standard, which may not be everyone’s cup of tea, especially since the most pronounced flavors are butterscotch and caramel. Iced Irish And due to all that sweetness, it totally masks just how deceptively boozy it is. The coffee flavor itself is pretty muted. If you’re the kinda coffee person who likes to add plenty of cream and sugar, then this is the Irish Coffee for you! Iced Irish The Iced Irish also goes for $15.99, which isn’t too bad considering you get more than one type of booze in here! Revisit our first review of the Bush-Tail Nitro at Raglan Road! Next we tried the Bush-Tail Nitro, which gave us lots of “Got Milk?” vibes thanks to the layer of thick cream on top. It contains brown sugar syrup, which provides an unexpectedly sweet flavor, but it’s a little tricky to get to it due to how thick that cream layer is. Bush-Tail Nitro But once we broke through, we were quite pleased! It’s not too sweet and not too strong—it’s the Goldilocks of Irish Coffees! The strength of the Nitro Cold Brew and Bushmills Irish Whiskey were balanced and covered by the sweetness of that brown sugar syrup. Bush-Tail Nitro Compared to the Iced Irish, this is less sweet and more balanced. But anyone who prefers dark black coffee will likely not be a fan, since it caters more towards cold-brew coffee drinkers. The Bush-Tail Nitro also costs $15.99, which again seems like a pretty fair price for the quality of the ingredients…and the hefty amount of alcohol! Bush-Tail Nitro And speaking of hefty amounts of alcohol, we obviously had to balance all this out with some Irish eats, so we sampled some Raglan Road favorites! Disney Recipe! Colcannon Soup from Raglan Road! The Whiskey BBQ Lollipop Chicken is loaded with flavor, thanks in part to the fact that the BBQ sauce takes four hours to make, and adds the perfect tangy kick! This is one the best tasting BBQ sauces we’ve ever had. Whiskey BBQ Lollipop Chicken The chicken, which get their “lollipop” look with plump little morsels at the end of the bone, comes with roasted corn and chives that adds to the heap of flavor and color here. Tender and succulent, they’re the definition of “lip smacking,” sorta like a fancy version of chicken wings. So if you’re a chicken wing fanatic, or just a BBQ lover in general, you’ll enjoy this Lollipop Chicken Whiskey BBQ Lollipop Chicken Our only criticism is that we wanted more meat! Since this was all sooooo delicious, it would have been nice to have more chicken in our serving. Also, even though we loved the sauce, it is quite heavy and sticky-sweet. We realize that it could be off-putting for anyone who prefers a lighter BBQ sauce. You can try the chicken for yourself for $16.99. Another barbecue spot in Disney Springs has a NEW rye whiskey flight! Now that Shepherd’s To Die For Pie we mentioned? It lives up to its name! It’s a pretty classic Shepherd’s Pie, but it comes with smoked mashed potatoes and a red wine jus, which really brings the whole dish together. Shepherd’s To Die For Pie The ingredients are super fresh, and coupled with the fact that it’s presented beautifully, this is seriously one of the best Shepherd’s Pies we’ve had! That’s also thanks to how it tasted, with the smokiness of the potatoes and the strength of the red wine. The beef is braised and pulled, making it ridiculously tender, and it pairs perfectly with the wine and the roasty root vegetables. Shepherd’s To Die For Pie This is cool-weather comfort food at its finest, but if you’re looking for something on the lighter side, you might want to skip. But for us, when our sole criticism of a dish is that we wish we had a larger portion, then you know it’s “to die for”! Shepherd’s To Die For Pie Clocking in at $24, the Shepherd’s To Die For Pie is a bit pricier, but you get fresh ingredients and robust flavors. Classic Shepard’s Pie fans would love. Shepherd’s To Die For Pie Next, we tried the Drunk Mussels! Steamed in Bloomsday Pale Ale and garlic broth, it’s got an extra kick that we weren’t expecting—yet welcomed with open arms (and mouths). Drunk Mussels Honestly, it feels lighter than the other dishes we tried, which was kinda refreshing. Even the “Skinny Chips” (aka french fries) on the side felt light-ish! Drunk Mussels That being said, the mussels themselves are quite plump, and the portion is gigantic! Which is great, because we could swim in that garlicky sauce! The key here is to dip each mussel in the sauce to bring all the flavors together. We actually wish we had more of that brothy goodness. But for all shellfish fans out there, this one is for you! Drunk Mussels As a lighter option on the menu, it’s an amazing bowlful. Anyone who is not much of an adventurous eater, though, may want to stick with something more classic, which Raglan Road has plenty of! Drunk Mussels The Drunk Mussels are $25, and a great price for the abundance of bivalves. Drunk Mussels A newer addition to the menu is the Pull The Boxty, which is as delicious as it is fun to say! Sorta like an Irish casserole, it’s a stack of boxty potato cake, ham hock, caramelized onions, and Dubliner cheese. So yeah, hope your New Year’s resolutions are over… . Pull The Boxty There’s a lot going on here, but the key is to get a little bit of each ingredient in each bite to get the full experience. Pull The Boxty The boxty potato cake is the largest thing here, but the ham hock and onions were still the most pronounced ingredients, probably because the ham was so tender and salty. Also, be forewarned that this is VERY onion-y, so you may want to tread lightly if you’re onion-averse. Pull The Boxty The cheese, however, was the most muted. When everything is combined together, it tends to disappear a bit, although we did detect a bit of lingering sweetness. Pull The Boxty For a plate that’s so loaded on ingredients and textures, it didn’t have quite the same kick that the other dishes have here. It was still delicious, but the least memorable of the food. This dish is $16. Pull The Boxty Although we never need a holiday excuse to eat and drink at Raglan Road, National Irish Coffee Day is on January 25th, so be sure and swing by for these extra boozy treats—and a few good eats!

  14. One thing we love about Disney World is that it’s always full of surprises, especially when it comes to food and drinks! Mimosa from Hollywood Scoops We’ve had cupcakes that have surprised us, along with nachos, cookies, and drinks! But today’s big surprise was heading to one of our favorite ice cream shops at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and NOT getting ice cream, but ordering up morning cocktails instead! Say what? So first of all, Hollywood Scoops doesn’t usually open up until noon on most days, but today it was opened with the park. And we noticed two new items there that were not ice cream: a Bloody Mary and a Mimosa! And, of course, we ordered both! The Bloody Mary is the Cutwater Bloody Mary from a can we’ve seen elsewhere in the parks. Bloody Mary This baby is SPICY, like how a good Bloody Mary should be! And we were surprised at how good it was, especially being from a can. Bloody Mary Of the two drinks, at $11, it’s also the better bargain, and of course, you gotta have that celery garnish! We still think the Bloody Mary was the better of the two drinks, but if you like good bubbly cocktails, the Mimosa might just be the beverage for you! Disney World is just testing out morning cocktails at the parks, so we don’t know how long these drinks will be around — we suggest grabbing them while you can. Don’t worry, though — you can still get ice cream at Hollywood Scoops, too!

  15. Disney World is totally revamping EPCOT with new attractions, nighttime shows, and even a new look! Spaceship Earth EPCOT is a literal maze of construction walls and gutted buildings at the moment. The theme park is undergoing a MASSIVE overhaul that will totally transform the theme park. Guests will be able to experience all sorts of new adventures when it’s all said done. So, let’s take a photo tour so you can see exactly what the construction progress is and what construction looks like on ALL the BIG EPCOT projects. France Pavilion Expansion The France Pavilion in World Showcase is nearly done and we’ve been keeping a close eye on the projects. In this area, guests will soon be able to experience the new attraction, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and stuff themselves with crepes from the Le Creperie de Paris. France Pavilion Expansion The area will also host some seating areas and a rat fountain inspired by Ratatouille. You can see a shot of the new fountain that was taken during a D23 virtual event last year. Rat Fountain ©D23 Walls have come down for a portion of the expansion while the attraction and restaurant are set to open sometime this year! France Expanded Area We took a good look at the new restrooms and got a feel for the new expansion. New France Bathrooms We also got to take a look at the new La Creperie de Paris which will be a Table Service and a Quick Service restaurant. You can see more photos here. La Creperie de Paris The attraction isn’t open just yet, but has been confirmed to open this year. Construction Barrier We can’t wait to hear just when the attraction will open! Check out the details for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure here! World Celebration EPCOT will now be divided into four “neighborhoods” with distinct themes and attractions. The neighborhoods include World Showcase, World Celebration, World Discovery, and World Nature. New Neighborhoods in Disney Future World ©Disney World Celebration will feature Dreamers Point which will be located behind Spaceship Earth. The area will have a garden designed to “pique curiosity,” a story fountain, and a new statute of Walt Disney “dreaming” about the future! Walt Statue in World Celebration There was also mention of a “wishing tree” during the initial announcement. More details to come! Dreamers Point construction There will also be a brand new Festival Pavilion coming to this area of the theme park. Festival Pavilion Concept Art ©Disney Originally, the 3D model and concept art showed that this pavilion will feature three stories and even an outdoor garden. Here’s what the view looked like from the monorail a while back. Since the monorail doesn’t take guests to EPCOT right now, we haven’t had the opportunity to see from this angle in a while. Epcot World Celebration construction The details on this project have been a little muddy considering that during a press release, Disney called it a Festival Area. This could mean that the project may get some adjustments or be pared back a bit. We’ll have to wait and see as construction continues! Read our thoughts on the Festival Pavilion (Area?) right here! World Nature This new section of the park will be located near The Land and Seas pavilions. Construction is beginning on the new Moana attraction called Journey of Water. The concept art looks like it will be a walk-through attraction and Disney described it as a “lush exploration trail” that “will invite guests to meet and play with magical, living water.” Journey of Water Concept Art ©Disney Disney has shared that this attraction likely won’t open in 2021. We’ll absolutely keep you updated when we confirm an opening date for the Moana attraction! See more details for Journey of Water here! World Discovery Perhaps the biggest additions will be located in World Discovery. This section is where you will currently find Mission: SPACE and Test Track. The neighborhood will feature the new indoor roller coaster, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Right now, you’ll notice the building that once held Ellen’s Energy Adventure has been gutted and being transformed into a high-speed coaster. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Building The ride vehicles are currently being tested. The ride will feature vehicles that can turn in different directions while in motion! Cosmic Rewind Ride Vehicles ©Zach Riddley via Instagram (@thezachriddley) We’ll hopefully have an opening date real soon! Learn more about Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind here! This area is also receiving a brand new restaurant called Space 220. Space 220 Concept Art ©Disney Guests are highly anticipating the new immersive restaurant that will take you on an elevator ride into space. You’ll munch on space-themed meals and take in the galactic atmosphere. Space 220 Construction and Possible Sign The walls that were recently placed around the restaurant have been removed and a very sneaky structure was installed. Is This a SIGN that Space 220 Will Open Soon? We’re hoping this ominous box is where the restaurant sign will be placed! The attraction is slated to open this year and we’ll keep you updated as we learn more! Learn more about Space 220 here! PLAY! Pavilion The PLAY! pavilion was described as a “digital metropolis” with interactive experiences, games, entertainment, hands-on activities. It was also noted that you would be able to meet Disney characters virtually and in real life. Wonders of Life/PLAY! Pavilion Construction The pavilion was strangely omitted from a press release and we haven’t heard much beyond that except for a few patents and permits. PLAY! Pavilion Construction We’re keeping an eye on the Wonders of Life building where the pavilion is set to take over. Learn more about the PLAY! Pavilion here! Harmonious This project has seen some of the most progress in EPCOT. Harmonious is a nighttime show that will feature water, lights, lasers, and more effects. Harmonious Screens Tested Two barges have been moved into the middle of World Showcase Lagoon where they are currently being tested. Harmonious Testing Eventually, these barges will be used as a fountain during the daytime. Harmonious Barges The debut is slated to be sometime this year and we’re hoping we get an official opening date very soon! See the latest construction update on Harmonious here! Gelato Kiosk Now we’re talkin’! The Italy Pavilion in World Showcase is set to receive a permanent gelato kiosk. The announcement was made in 2019 that the kiosk will have 12 different varieties of gelato and sorbet, including gluten-friendly and plant-based flavors, and a seasonal menu. La Gelateria The building has really taken shape and we’ve spotted the terracotta roofing with stone wall accents. Gelato Cart Construction We’re impatiently waiting for the official opening date! See construction updates for the Italy Gelato Kiosk here! Popcorn Kiosk More foodie news! A Disney permit has been filed that has been coded as an “EPCOT Popcorn Kiosk.” Yes, please! The prospective popcorn stand will be placed near the prior Mouse Gear location. Popcorn Bucket at EPCOT Also, the permit was filed with Icarus Exhibits. This is a contractor that tends to do themed projects in Disney World. Location of the Popcorn Address Signs are pointing towards the fact that World Celebration could be getting a themed popcorn cart. How cool! Read more about the Popcorn Kiosk permit here! Mouse Gear The giant gift shop in EPCOT is getting a makeover too! The old building has been completely gutted while it’s being transformed into World Celebration. Mouse Gear Construction We haven’t received too many details about the new look and features of the transformation. Right now, you can find merchandise in the mini Mouse Gear located near the old building. Mouse Gear Construction Whew! That’s a lot of construction in EPCOT! We’re still waiting on a lot more opening dates and announcements for many of these projects. We’ll continue to keep an eye on the progress as we learn more.

  17. Well, folks, we’re returning to one of our absolute favorite table-service restaurants in Disney World. Beaches and Cream Soda Shop Beaches and Cream Soda Shop is a casual table-service spot at Disney’s Beach Club Resort and we absolutely ADORE it — and so do lots of other Disney guests! After all, how can you go wrong with diner favorites like burgers, grilled cheese, comfort food galore, and MASSIVE sundaes? It’s been over a year since Beaches and Cream underwent a pretty major renovation (and blew us away, as usual, in the subsequent review). So, does this DFB and guest favorite spot still hold up to its BIG reputation? Atmosphere As we mentioned, Beaches and Cream is located in Disney’s Beach Club Resort; you’ll find it right by Stormalong Bay, the Beach Club AND Yacht Club’s shared MASSIVE feature pool. Beaches and Cream This spot is themed as a beachfront-style ice cream parlor. It’s bright and inviting with a distinctively retro vibe. Beaches and Cream This spot accepts reservations and they tend to be in relatively high demand, so we definitely recommend booking in advance. Like most other Advance Dining Reservations spots, Beaches and Cream is offering Mobile Dine Check-In to allow guests to check-in for their reservation without a visit to the host stand. Simply check-in from your phone and take a stroll around while you wait for a text back! Beaches and Cream As a note, up until a few weeks ago, Beaches and Cream offered some ice cream favorites at the Beaches and Cream To Go Window, which has since closed indefinitely. It’s now “hiding” behind these very inconspicuous plants. Beaches and Cream To Go Window We’re still loving the fun and beachy look that this spot has had since its 2019 renovation. The space is light and colorful with plenty of Disney art featuring your favorite characters. Beaches and Cream The countertop opens directly to part of the kitchen space where you can spot Cast Members hard at work prepping all kinds of eats and treats. Beaches and Cream You can see more of that pastel color theme coming through with the pink and blue tiling of the wall in the prep space. Beaches and Cream One of our favorite details of Beaches and Cream is the real working jukebox — although it is unavailable right now. Juke Box Guests can be seated at tables, booths, or the counter. All seating is currently distanced by six feet or more. Remember that cute Disney art we mentioned? You can spot it up close here. Beaches and Cream The light fixtures in here are just as colorful as the rest of the room! Beaches and Cream When you sit down at your table, your place is set with a colorful bread plate and napkin-wrapped silverware. Table Setting Plus, single-serving condiments and seasoning are available as well. Table Setting Now, let’s dive into those eats! Eats Like most Disney World restaurants, the menu is available as a digital version through a QR code on the table. Paper menus are available by request. Point your phone’s camera at the code and you’ll get a pop up to view the menu! QR Code Menu The menu at Beaches and Cream features six different sandwich entree options and some tasty sides too (loaded TOOOOOTS!). Keep in mind, this menu IS limited due to the global health crisis! Beaches and Cream Menu Screenshot There’s a small dessert menu but, as we’ll show you in a second, those are SO not the only sweet options at this spot! You’ll find classics for the kids as well! Beaches and Cream Menu Screenshot Of course, this IS a soda shop and, as such, they’ve got loads of ICE CREAM! The menu sports some seriously delish-sounding sodas and milkshakes. Ice Cream Soda? Yes, please. You’ll also find their crazy photographable and delish mega-sized Specialty Shakes. These can change up seasonally — we had great ones at Christmas and in the Fall — but the Mickey Confetti and Chocolate Brownie are solid over-the-top options. You get to keep the glass too! Beaches and Cream Menu Screenshot In our humble opinions, the real main event is those Sundaes on the Beach. You can see our absolute FAVORITE at the bottom. Peanut butter and chocolate together in one glorious sundae? We love you, No Way José! You’ll also eye those MASSIVE Kitchen Sink sundaes topped with a full can of whipped cream! Heads up, if you order these guys right now — the pomp and circumstance that comes with ordering a Kitchen Sink (flashing lights, sirens, and your server announcing it to the whole restaurant) is on hold right now. Beaches and Cream Menu Screenshot And there are several alcoholic options including spiked shakes and floats for the grown-ups. Beaches and Cream Menu Screenshot For our meal, we opted to snag the Reuben Sandwich, the Cheddar-Bacon-Ranch Chicken Sandwich, the Chili and Cheese Tots, the Bacon and Cheese Tots, and the Bowl of Chili. What can we say…we were hungry. Beaches and Cream Eats First up, the Reuben Sandwich is Corned Beef, Sauerkraut, Swiss, and Thousand Island Dressing on Marbled Rye Bread — served with Fries and a Pickle! Reuben Sandwich The Reuben is a great go-to at this spot and it certainly didn’t disappoint this time! This sandwich is REALLY good. We loved the crunch to the toasted rye bread and the amount of cheese. This sammie definitely left us STUFFED. Reuben Sandwich We’d also note that this is probably the most shareable of anything we ordered. So, if two folks have smaller appetites, this could be a good pick. Obviously, you gotta be into the flavors of a Reuben to enjoy this guy, which we do! The Reuben Sandwich will run you $16. Reuben Sandwich The Cheddar-Bacon-Ranch Chicken Sandwich is pretty much what it sounds like — but with Sautéed Onion, Lettuce, and Tomato on a Multigrain Bun for $16. Of course, this eat is also served with Fries and a Pickle. Cheddar-Bacon-Ranch Chicken Sandwich Look at that CHEESE. The ranch on this sandwich is home-made which gives it some serious flavor. The chicken itself is really juicy and tastes kind of like it had a ranch marinade. Yum. Cheddar-Bacon-Ranch Chicken Sandwich We were skeptical of loving the multigrain bun but we really did! It’s a healthier option but can often be drier than fluffy white buns, but this was great! Nice and soft and tiny hits of flavors from the grains inside. It, along with the sauteed onions and the bacon, added a great mix of flavors! If you want a seriously hearty sandwich, this won’t disappoint. Cheddar-Bacon-Ranch Chicken Sandwich The Cheese and Bacon Tots are Tots with Cheese Sauce, Bacon, Red Onions, and Garlic-Peppercorn Ranch for $9. Let’s have a moment to appreciate all the ooey-gooey melty liquid gold (AKA cheese sauce!) on these beauties: Cheese and Bacon Tots Yup, these have that home-made ranch again! They were so yummy and the tots still had great crunch despite being smothered in toppings. Cheese and Bacon Tots Slightly different we also tried the Chili and Cheese Tots which are Tots with Chili, Cheese, Sour Cream, and Green Onions, for $9. Chili and Cheese Tots We love the chili on its own so if you’re gonna add it to tots, we’re happy campers! The tots also kept their crunch in this dish! The green and red onions on top add loads of fresh flavor to the heavier cheese and chili. both these tot dishes could be a meal on their own (you know, if you’re OK with chowing down a whole plate of tots for a meal…we obviously are!). Chili and Cheese Tots SPEAKING of chili we did snag a Bowl of Chili on its own for $9. This meaty and delicious chili usually comes topped with Cheese and Green Onions but our reporter asked for red onions instead and LOVED it. Chili The mix has green bell pepper, kidney beans, cheese, onions, and stewed tomatoes. And those ingredients all together are TOTALLY delicious. This isn’t a spicy chili, but it still packs a punch of flavor. Chili And we’re on to dessert! We ordered one of the desserts from that actual dessert menu — the Cookie Fries with Dipping Sauce for $8. These are actually a plant-based option! The cookie fries have more of a biscotti texture to them and the sweetness comes more from the sauces than the dippers themselves. Cookie Fries The sauces are marshmallow, chocolate, and strawberry. Our reporter liked the strawberry the best. Be warned: that marshmallow sauce is a total sugar bomb! Kids would probably go wild dipping these to their hearts’ content! This is definitely a fun dessert and great plant-based option but we still think we’d swing for ice cream at this spot. When in Rome! Cookie Fries Speaking of… LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY! (You knew we weren’t setting foot in Beaches and Cream without ordering a sundae, right?) We changed things up (Sorry No Way José! We still lurve you!) and tried the Snickers Sundae this visit for $11. Snickers Sundae We’re talking Three Scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream smothered in Hot Fudge, Marshmallow topping, and Snickers pieces topped with Whipped Cream, chopped Peanuts, and a Cherry. Snickers Sundae This mongo treat has HUGE chunks of Snickers inside. Be careful, the Snickers freeze in all that ice cream so if you’re worried about those chompers, chew carefully! Like most Beaches and Cream sundaes, this one is definitely shareable. This was so so good. We probably will still default to our good ol’ José but really all the sundaes we’ve tried here have been top notch. Snickers Sundae So, how did our long-time favorite stand up this time? Nosh or Not You SHOULD eat at Beaches and Cream if… You’re a total ice cream fanatic who wants to try some of the best ice cream in Disney World. You’re looking for a casual and fun spot to sit down for a table-service meal. This place is NOT stuffy in the least! You’ve got picky eaters who still want to try something a little more exciting than usual. You should SKIP Beaches and Cream if… You want your table-service meal to be a nicer experience for the money. This isn’t the best for a quiet, romantic meal (but it IS perfect if you’re looking to split a sundae or shake with that special someone!). Ice cream isn’t really your jam. Head on over to BoardWalk Bakery a short walk away for some great baked treats! You’re fine getting many of these classic staples from fast food locations around Disney World instead. Overall Well, we can’t say we’re surprised. Beaches and Cream Soda Shop remains a delightful place to dine in our opinion. We have consistently had fantastic experiences at this restaurant — from the service to the food — and can wholeheartedly recommend it for those looking for a more casual table-service meal. Beaches and Cream might not be the best spot for every Disney guest, but it’s certainly an option to consider. Sure, you might want to head into EPCOT for a more adventurous or international meal or to a fancier restaurant for a quieter experience, but this Soda Shop has some serious merit. It’s saying something that compared to ALL the restaurants in Disney World, this is one we come back to time and time again. Plus, we’ve been back to Beaches and Cream so many times that it really does start to feel comfy for us — even after the renovation. You won’t catch us saying no to a Grilled Cheese and a No Way José here! Sorry, Snickers Sundae, you were good, but the No Way José is our one true love. The heart wants what the heart wants. As far as we’re concerned, the only bad part about a trip to Beaches and Cream is the fight to get a reservation! As always, stay tuned to DFB for the latest reviews from Disney World!

  18. It was only a few years ago when Disney’s Hollywood Studios was barely a blip on anyone’s radar, and many travel sites called it a half-day park at best. Hollywood Studios Entrance But that all changed with the addition of a few new lands and attractions, and Hollywood Studios is a park you could easily spend two days or more at now! There is a LOT to do now at Hollywood Studios, but if you’re wanting to make the most of your time there, you’ll need a list of things you MUST do, so that’s why we’re here. Here’s what we think you shouldn’t miss out on when you’re visiting the Studios. Must-Try Foods Y’all — Hollywood Studios has some of our favorite Disney World food! Totchos We would be remiss if we didn’t mention Totchos! You’ll find this bowl of goodness over at Woody’s Lunch Box in Toy Story Land. Totchos are Potato Barrels (AKA tots) covered with Beef and Bean Chili, Shredded Cheese, Queso, Tomatoes, Corn Chips, and finished with Sour Cream and a sprinkle of Green Onions. Totchos! If you have the slightest interest in chili and cheese covered tater tots (like we do, obv.), they are a snack that you just can’t miss! You also get a huge portion size for $8.99. Totchos Unless you’re really hungry, you might even want to share (or not — that’s all on you). Check out Totchos (and more from Woody’s Lunch Box) by clicking here! Carrot Cake Cookie Another one of our favorite snacks that we really REALLY love at Hollywood Studios is the Carrot Cake Cookie. You can find this treat at the Trolley Car Cafe on Hollywood Boulevard — better known as Hollywood Studios’ Starbucks location. This unassuming treat is basically one of our favorite snacks like…ever. Cream Cheese Frosting for Dayyyyssss The Carrot Cake Cookie is a whoopie pie consisting of two soft carrot cake cookies with a TON of sweet cream cheese frosting between them. Carrot Cake Cookie PLUS since it has actual carrot in it, it totally qualifies as a veggie serving (we don’t make the rules…it’s science.)! You can currently grab this cookie for $4.99. The Carrot Cake Cookie was part of our Hollywood Studios Cookie Throwdown! Check it out! Ronto Wrap If you happen to find yourself in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, we highly suggest you pick up a Ronto Wrap at Ronto Roasters. This is a big, soft Pita wrapped around Roasted Pork, Grilled Pork Sausage, Peppercorn Sauce, and Tangy Slaw. Ronto Wrap in Disney World We can’t sing the praises of this little portable meal enough. The meat is smokey and delightful and the slaw adds a cool creamy crunch. But the sauce is totally boss here. This was one of those things that we could NOT stop eating the first time we tried it (ok, and every time since). It’s a tasty filling meal that costs $12.99. Can’t make it to Hollywood Studios? Here’s how to make a Ronto Wrap at home! Walt Disney Presents: One Man’s Dream Walt Disney Presents: One Man’s Dream is one of those things that many visitors to Hollywood Studios skip out on. Maybe it’s because they don’t know what it is (or…ahem…that it even exists!), or maybe they think it’s just a boring movie. But this highly underrated attraction should be on your “do not miss” list! Walt Disney Presents: One Man’s Dream This is a multimedia presentation that explores Walt Disney’s life and legacy. Yes, there IS a movie, a 15-minute documentary. But there are also TONS of galleries of drawings, photos, storyboards, models, artwork, props, costumes, and more! You can even see the ORIGINAL Abraham Lincoln audio-animatronic that debuted at the 1964 New York World’s Fair. That’s HISTORY, folks! Walt Disney Presents: One Man’s Dream One Man’s Dream follows Walt’s work throughout his lifetime and allows guests to see his dream progress from movie theaters to what would eventually become Disneyland and Walt Disney World. It’s a museum dedicated to everything Walt Disney has given us, and we always find it as inspirational as the man himself. If you want to appreciate the wonder of a place like Disney World, we highly recommend popping in and seeing where it all started. 4 Secrets The Walt Disney Company Tried to Keep, But Couldn’t Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Let’s face it — a lot of people come to Hollywood Studios with their sights set on Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge — for good reason! But there’s still a lot in this land that people miss out on! We’re not talking about flying the Millennium Falcon or riding on Rise of the Resistance (that is, if you’ve made a deal with Jabba the Hut to score a tough to snag boarding pass). Rise of the Resistance Now, don’t get us wrong — both attractions are a MUST, even if you’re NOT a Star Wars fan. Particularly Rise of the Resistance is probably one of the most technologically advanced attractions Disney has ever created! But what most people tend to forget is that Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in and of itself is an immersive experience. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge The premise is that when you step into the land, you’re now on the planet Batuu at the Black Spire Outpost in the Outer Rim of the galaxy (way, way out there). The outpost has a spaceport, a cantina, and a market. Cast Members aren’t Cast Members here — they’re residents of Batuu. They stay in character, so don’t be surprised if you ask where Toy Story Land is and get a questioning look followed by “What galaxy is that located in?”. You’ll be greeted with a cheerful “Bright Suns” or other “on planet” lingo the Black Spire folk frequently use. Black Spire Outpost on Batuu ©Disney/Lucasfilm And the atmosphere is AUTHENTIC — you really do feel like you’re on an alien planet. Those “citizens of Batuu?” They might give you a lighthearted hard time or want to know what side your allegiances lie on — First Order or Resistance. Take time to stop and enjoy everything presented to you — talk to Cast Members, interact, and LIVE on Batuu for awhile. Don’t just hit the rides and bounce — there’s so much more to experience here! Batuu drink cart Be sure to take a lot of moments to just take it all in and look for details — every corner of Batuu holds a surprise, especially if you’ve ever wanted to be in a Star Wars movie. Smell the smells, listen to the sounds, and take it all in — it’s going to carry you away to another world! Even the merchandise is legitimately themed, and you’ll find some VERY unique items (like this Jabba-inspired frog sipper) beyond lightsabers and droids. Photos! Rey Rocking Her Winter Gear at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Muppet*Vision 3D If you are or ever were a Muppets fan, Muppet*Vision 3D is a must. It’s a 3D film attraction with a hilarious pre-show (Rizzo the Rat gets us every time). The film itself starts with Kermit leading guests on a tour through Muppet Studios, but, as is always the case, something goes wrong and everyone gets sucked into the experience! Miss Piggy Statue Although this is an older attraction at the park, the humor isn’t dated. The Muppets have a classic silly humor with pratfalls, oops moments, and funny dialogue, that keeps kids — and adults — laughing. Oh, and did we mention bubbles? Bubbles are fun, guys. This attraction is great for a good laugh! There’s a reason the Muppets have stayed relevant for so long, and this attraction is a good reminder of why. And as a bonus, it’s a chance to sit down in an air-conditioned theater in the Florida heat — need we say more? Sometimes the Muppets appear outside Hollywood Studios — find out where The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror We’re just going to say this: if you’ve been to Hollywood Studios and you haven’t been on Tower of Terror, have you really even BEEN to Hollywood Studios? Not only is the Tower of Terror the icon that represents the park, but it is a stunning looking attraction that’s hard to miss — you can see it from as far away as EPCOT’s World Showcase and hear screams as you approach! Tower of Terror The premise is that once you step inside, you’re in the old Hollywood Tower Hotel, which is in a state of dusty disrepair and has been like that for a long time following a tragic accident on (dun dun DUN!) Halloween. The details inside the lobby include cobwebs and dust with props that look as if they haven’t been touched for decades. It perfectly sets the tone for what lies ahead. Tower of Terror Lobby It’s downright eerie, but then you discover you’re trapped in the Twilight Zone and you’re loaded into a passenger elevator that takes you on a thrilling ride through the hotel’s stories (both figuratively and literally). The final chapter brings you crashing down (several times) in a heart-pounding ride that’s never the same twice because the drop sequences are randomized by a computer. Tower of Terror It’s a thrill ride that makes you feel like you are part of a Twilight Zone episode, and that’s the appeal of it — it isn’t just a ride, it’s an experience. If you’re a fan of thrill rides and some seriously next-level Disney World theming, this is a total must-do. Keep your eyes peeled for easter eggs hiding in the queue! Click here to see everything you need to know about Tower of Terror Toy Story Land Remember all the great theming and atmosphere we mentioned with Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge? Well, Toy Story Land has the same kind of fantastic theming only…super-sized! When you step into the land, it’s like you’ve been hit with a shrink ray and you’re now a toy living in Andy’s backyard. Toy Story Land And as a toy, there is much fun to be had, including eating those Totchos we previously mentioned! But you can also ride Slinky Dog Dash, which is themed around Andy building a roller coaster in his back yard with his Dash & Dodge Mega Coaster Kit and using Slinky Dog as the vehicle! FUN! Slinky Dog Dash There’s also Alien Swirling Saucers that takes you on an intergalactic spin with the aliens from Toy Story. Or you can hop on Toy Story Mania! to try your luck at this ride that takes you through a series of 3D carnival-like games where the goal is to score as many points as you can! Toy Story Mania entrance All these attractions are fun for the whole family — and the whole land brings out the kid (or, shall we say, toy?) in everyone! This is another spot worth taking some time to appreciate the gorgeous theming. From the MASSIVE footprints in the ground to the colorful bathrooms, this whole land is a colorful feast for the eyes loaded with fun easter eggs. This Hospital Celebrated Toy Story’s 25th Anniversary in the BEST Way! Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway We hate to admit it because we loved the ride this one replaced (The Great Movie Ride), but Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is a really fun ride. This is another of those rides where Disney went above and beyond and broke out technology that is way ahead of its time! Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway First, this is a dark ride that does NOT have a track (just like Rise of the Resistance), which allows the ride vehicles to pretty much move in any direction! These vehicles launch you into a wacky cartoon world with Mickey and Minnie that defies the laws of physics, with lots of shocking turns and twists. But more importantly, it’s the first ride EVER that features Mickey and Minnie! Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway And the beauty of Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway that it’s something everyone in the family will enjoy. All Aboard! Virtually Ride Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway With This Video! 50s Prime Time Cafe 50s Prime Time Cafe has been around for a while, but it’s still a favorite location for a sit-down meal. Not only are the home-cooking favorites really good, but it’s also a great place to be entertained while you eat! The idea is that you’re transported to an authentic 1950s kitchen (complete with an old-fashioned TV set) and you’re being served a meal by your cousin, aunt, uncle, or other family member. Imagine eating dinner n the set of I Love Lucy! 50s Prime Time Cafe Entrance What’s really unique and fun is that your meal comes with a fun side of family attitude, too. You will get teased for putting your elbows on the table, and you will get heckled if you don’t clean your plate! It’s just so much fun that you might even forget to watch classic TV shows on the black and white TVs at many of the tables! Seating at 50s Prime Time Cafe The dining here is all about comfort food, so you’ll see things like pot roast, meatloaf, and fried chicken on the menu (and the fried chicken is YUMMY). So although it’s not the fanciest meal you’ll ever have, it will still be tasty, reasonably-priced (by Disney World standards, at least), and fun! And yes, even now, the servers still put on a good show! 50s Prime Time Cafe Servers There are other themed dining locations at Hollywood Studios, but the addition of the servers acting the part here is what puts this on our “must-do” list! You might find a better meal at somewhere like Hollywood Brown Derby, but it won’t be as much fun as 50s Prime Time Cafe! Review! Were We STILL Heckled (From a Distance!) at 50s Prime Time Cafe in Disney World? The Details There are SO many great details at Hollywood Studios that it could take you DAYS to take them all in, but it’s important to not rush around and take time to just enjoy the park itself. The Hollywood theming is what sets this park apart, after all, and it’s a shame to miss out on it. First, look at the windows on Sunset Boulevard – one is actually themed to the classic movie Sunset Boulevard. Sunset Boulevard And Hollywood Studios is FULL of classic movie references and old Hollywood! Look at all the celebrity handprints in front of the Chinese Theater. In particular, look at Audrey Hepburn’s — it meant so much to her to have her handprints there that when the real Hollywood (in California LOL) asked her to do the same, she declined and said her prints were where they belonged. Chinese Theater Handprints On Hollywood Boulevard, there’s a door with a window that says “Holly Vermont Realty,” which is the name of the company where Walt and Roy Disney had their first office space. The Echo Lake apartments have mailboxes with Imagineer names on them. A certain detective from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? has an office window you can spot near Echo Lake. Peevy’s Polar Pipeline (which is a great place to get a frozen Coke) has a helmet on display that might look familiar — it’s a tribute to the film The Rocketeer. Peevy’s Polar Pipeline sign And there’s so much more to look for. Even Gertie the Dinosaur in Echo Lake has a story behind her — she’s designed in the style of “California Crazy” architecture, which was popular in California during Hollywood’s Golden Age AND she’s a nod to the first character ever animated all the way back. in1914. EVERYTHING is a detail if you look for it! Holidays at Hollywood Studios So take a moment to look around and see what you can discover! And enjoy your time at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

  19. Last week, Disneyland shared that it would be discontinuing its Annual Passholder program. Disneyland Disneyland’s Annual Passholder program has been around for decades and many guests have been left wondering if anything will replace it following its discontinuation. Well, it seems that a new replacement program is currently in development. A new replacement “membership offering” is in the works, according to The Orange County Register. Disneyland President, Ken Potrock, shared in an interview that the opinions of previous Passholders will be taken into consideration when creating this new program. Buena Vista Street Some of the factors to be considered involve frequency of pass use, price, and spontaneity of park trips. Additionally, previous and potential Passholders will be asked about the specific times of the day, week, and year that they’d prefer to use the new program. Storytellers Statue Potrock questioned, “What do people want in this new world? When do they want to access our parks? How frequently do they want to access our parks? With what level of spontaneity? With what level of value? All of those kinds of things and many more.” These are the things to be considered when developing the new program. California Mandate Sign Potrock shared that the new replacement program is already in development, although Disneyland still remains closed indefinitely. The goal of this new program is to cater to the largest number of people possible while ensuring that attendance of both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure is spread out appropriately. Grizzly Peak The new program will be designed to promote choice and flexibility while offering new experiences and features.

  20. We’ve eaten our share of cupcakes at Disney World, and we’re always on the hunt for more! P & J’s Southern Takeout From an Orange Cream Cupcake to a Cotton Candy Cupcake to a New Year’s Eve Cupcake, we’re no stranger to trying interesting cupcakes. And it seems our job is never done because Disney World is always releasing NEW cupcakes! Well, we found yet ANOTHER new cupcake at Disney World today — the Specialty Cupcake at P & J’s Southern Takeout. It’s a Vanilla Cupcake with Raspberry Filling and Strawberry Buttercream, topped with rainbow sprinkles. And despite its uninspired name, it’s still a lot of fun to look at! Specialty Cupcake When we dug in, we found the cake nice and moist. The buttercream frosting was a little weird, though. It only had a hint of strawberry flavor, but it tasted more like imitation flavor rather than the real thing. Plus, it was too sweet. If you’re a big buttercream fan, you might be disappointed with this frosting. Specialty Cupcake We really loved the raspberry filling, though, and our only real complaint there was that we wanted MORE! More of that raspberry flavor would have definitely kicked this baby up a notch. Specialty Cupcake We think this is one of those snacks that kids will adore because, well, sprinkles make everything fun. You can try it out for yourself at P & J’s Southern Takeout at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground for $4.99. In the meantime, we’ll keep trying all the cupcakes at Disney World because someone has to do it, right?
