While the resort was closed, we were able to stop by over the holidays to marvel at their “Night of a Million Lights” Christmas event, which made us so hopeful for a reopening soon.

The magic of Disney is how one day we’re piling up cookies like a delicious Jenga tower, and the very next day we’re washing down grasshoppers with mezcal! Mexico Pavilion Only in Disney World! And only for a special anniversary celebration taking place TODAY at La Cava del Tequila in EPCOT! From tomato margaritas to a decidedly Not-So-Old-Fashioned, La Cava del Tequila has proven to be one of the most adventurous places to drink in Disney World! Especially for tequila and mezcal-lovers, this bar in the Mexico Pavilion is absolute paradise, usually pouring something new and exciting! La Cava del Tequila Today, in honor of the ninth anniversary of a mezcal distillery, La Cava is pouring out super special — and SUPER adventurous — shots! Mezcal Gracias a Dios The distillery, Mezcal Gracias a Dios, is from Oaxaca, and Disney is raising a glass to their anniversary by offering $9 pours of their special edition Ensamble mezcal, which we’ve tried before on other special occasions! Mezcal Gracias a Dios For that price, the shot also comes with an orange slice and a smattering of crispy-crunchy seasoned grasshoppers! La Cava del Tequila Hear us out: they’re actually not as scary as they sound! If you close your eyes, you can almost pretend they’re chips! Grasshoppers The saltiness of the grasshoppers, and the juicy tartness of the orange, help even out the strength of the mezcal, which is STRONG. Clearly, this special is GREAT fodder for tequila and mezcal fans — and adventurous snackers! And really, $9 per shot is an awesome value for this super special sipper! Mezcal Gracias a Dios Needless to say, though, for anyone who doesn’t like tequila, strong drinks, or the idea of eating insects, this might be a pass for you. Mezcal Gracias a Dios Either way, cheers to La Cava for keeping us entertained! We’ve seen this drink appear quite a few times for various events or anniversaries, so we’ll be sure to let you know when it’s here.` Check out another recent review of a smoky drink at La Cava del Tequila!

But this will be no ordinary shop. Walt Disney Imagineers had a hand in creating the new location, and there are some pretty cool details coming to the store! Star Wars Trading Post Imagineers have created a design that is inspired by a hidden jungle Resistance base, and guests will be able to see Rey’s speeder near the entrance. Current Star Wars Trading Post And although Californians can’t get into the real Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge due to Disneyland’s closures, they can grab merchandise that is exclusive to that land. This includes creatures, robes, lightsabers, apparel, and more! Current Star Wars Trading Post Since Star Wars Trading Post is moving, the WonderGround Gallery, a shop that offers everything from housewares and spirit jerseys, will soon reopen! This shop originally closed to make way for the Star Wars-based store, but now it will return. Disney has not announced an opening date for these two shops just yet, but we will let you know as soon as it is released. How Does Southern California’s Stay-At-Home Order Affect Disneyland Resort?

We’re back to round up this week’s average wait times in Disney World! EPCOT Now that the holidays are over, the holiday crowds have started to dwindle down, so we’re checking out the average wait times in ALL FOUR PARKS! Times have continued to drop, so let’s see how many attractions were UNDER 30 minutes this week! Over 30 Minutes Magic Kingdom Shockingly, this week in Disney World, there were only 12 attractions that had wait times higher than 30 minutes. After seeing the wait times during a holiday week, this seems crazy! Cinderella Castle The attraction with the highest wait time this week was Seven Dwarfs Mine Train with 58 minutes. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train A few more popular rides in Magic Kingdom were over the 30 minute mark as well. This included Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at 41 minutes, Pirates of the Caribbean at 35 minutes, and Space Mountain at 34 minutes. The NEW sign! Despite an entire day of being temporarily closed, Space Mountain still managed to have a high enough average wait time to make this group of attractions! Disney’s Hollywood Studios The next highest wait times were over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Tower of Terror The spooky Tower of Terror was at a 55 minute average and Slinky Dog Dash was at a 50 minutes average. Millennium Falcon Other wait times over a half an hour in this park include Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway with a 38 minute average wait, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run with a 44 minute average wait, and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster with a 37 minute average wait. EPCOT The only attraction in EPCOT with a longer wait was Test Track with an average of 50 minutes. Test Track Every other attraction, including Frozen Ever After who used to hold the top spot for highest wait time, is under half an hour! Disney’s Animal Kingdom It’s no surprise that the only two attractions from Disney’s Animal Kingdom with higher wait times come from Pandora. Pandora This week, average wait times for the Avatar-themed attractions were 45 minutes for Na’vi River Journey and 38 minutes for Flight of Passage. Na’vi River Journey Considering that Flight of Passage used to have waits that were several hours long, this week’s average times are very low. But not as low as the majority of attractions in Disney World, so let’s take a look at ALL 46 rides/shows that had averages UNDER 30 minutes this week! Under 30 Minutes Magic Kingdom The majority of Magic Kingdom attractions had pretty low wait times compared to usual. Rides with average wait times between 20 and 30 minutes include Astro Orbiter, “it’s a small world”, Jungle Cruise, and Splash Mountain with 29 minutes, Prince Charming Regal Carrousel with 26 minutes, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin and Peter Pan’s Flight with 25 minutes, and Mickey’s PhilharMagic with 20 minutes. Carousel In the teens for average wait times, we saw The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (18), Haunted Mansion (15), The Barnstormer (14), Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid (14), Magic Carpets of Aladdin (12), and Tomorrowland Speedway (12). Tomorrowland Speedway With single digits in the Magic Kingdom there’s Dumbo the Flying Elephant and Mad Tea Party at 8 minutes, Carousel of Progress at 7 minutes, and Country Bear Jamboree at 6 minutes. Dumbo A few walk-through and show attractions had a 0-minute wait including Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room, Swiss Family Treehouse, and The Hall of Presidents. Disney’s Hollywood Studios Although this park does not have many attractions, Hollywood Studios had the most rides with times over 30 minutes. However, we did see quite a few low wait times, especially for the usual wait times in this theme park! Toy Story Mania Star Tours – The Adventures Continue had a 27-minute average, and Toy Story Mania and Muppet Vision 3D had a 24-minute average. Muppet Vision 3D Not far behind is 20 minutes for Alien Swirling Saucers and 18 minutes for Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy. Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy Walt Disney Presents usually sits in the 0-minute wait section each week, but this week it had an average wait of 9 minutes. As a reminder, Rise of the Resistance does not currently have an active wait time since it is still using a boarding pass system. EPCOT The majority of EPCOT attractions were under 30 minutes this week! This is likely due to the start of the Festival of the Arts where the focus for guests usually shifts to the booths and activities in World Showcase. 2021 EPCOT Festival of the Arts Following Test Track, the next highest average waits are 28 minutes at Mission: Space, 26 minutes at Soarin’, and 24 minutes at Frozen Ever After. Frozen Ever After There is a pretty big gap between these attractions and the next group wait times. Next is Spaceship Earth with 11 minutes, Journey Into Imagination with Figment with 9 minutes, The Seas with Nemo & Friends with 8 minutes, and Living with the Land and Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros with 7 minutes. Imagination Pavilion Several attractions also had a 0-minute average wait time like the Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival, Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along, Awesome Planet, Impressions de France, Reflections of China, and The American Adventure. Disney’s Animal Kingdom Similarly to EPCOT, most attractions in Disney’s Animal Kingdom had fairly low averages. Thrill rides like Dinosaur and Expedition Everest had wait times of 22 minutes and 16 minutes, respectively. Expedition Everest Kilimanjaro Safaris also had a 16-minute average, and It’s Tough to be a Bug had a 11-minute average. Rounding out the park, TriceraTop Spin had a 5-minute wait. Kilimanjaro Safaris It’s really surprising how low wait times have gotten since the holidays, and that 45 attractions had wait times under 30 minutes! We’ll be checking out the average wait times every week, so stay tuned to DFB to get an idea of what wait times will look like for you next trip.

With the first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine finally being distributed, vaccines are top of mind. While the arrival of a vaccine to fight the global pandemic could certainly be the first sign that “normalcy” will return, it may not be the whole “cure” that Disney World needs. Magic Kingdom Having a vaccine isn’t like flipping a light switch and the world goes back to normal — the same can be said for Disney World too. When it comes down to it, it may take years before consumer confidence and expendable income are back to where they were in 2019, and that can alter when we could once again see “pre-pandemic” Disney World. Once a vaccine is widely available, will guests come back to Disney World? If so, how long will it take? Sure, guests are returning every day (and the parks have been filling up to their set capacity on multiple occasions), but will guests return in numbers akin to 2019 and prior? Let’s take a look at three major reasons why a vaccine could be the start, but not the final requirement to “cure” Disney World. The vaccine could have a slow rollout. While two major brands of vaccine have been approved for immediate use, Pfizer and Moderna, it doesn’t mean the majority of the general public will all have access to a vaccine right away, as we’re already seeing. According to the New York Times, most Americans should not expect to have access to a vaccine until May or June of 2021. And then begins the long process of actually getting an entire country vaccinated — assuming people agree to get the vaccine — and that could take some time. Animal Kingdom December crowds All signs point to everyone needing to receive two doses of the vaccine spaced roughly a month apart, which is a slow timeline. From the initial rollout of the vaccine to the present, just over a month’s time, healthcare workers around the country are still in the process of getting their first doses of the vaccine in some areas. In others, frontline workers have been treated with both doses and now vaccines are ready to distribute to high-risk elderly populations. Accessibility of the vaccine will vary wildly by location for the initial months of distribution, making it difficult to pinpoint where we stand in terms of vaccinating the population. First Aid Center Then there’s a question of how many Americans WILL actually get vaccinated, at least in the short-term future. In a New York Times article, Dr. Anthony Fauci talked about life getting back to normal by late 2021. But that comes with a big asterisk. That timetable will depend on at least 75 percent of the country getting vaccinated promptly. And according to a recent Gallup poll, six in ten Americans — less than Fauci’s threshold for normalcy to begin to return by late 2021 — would agree to be vaccinated. © Gallup This could put Disney in a precarious spot. In order to swiftly return to a more “normal” Disney World — one without as much restriction — they could potentially require guests to be vaccinated. As a private company, Disney World could ask for proof of vaccination before allowing guests on property. Whether they would do this is as yet unknown. Imagine walking into Disney World knowing everyone there was vaccinated against the virus, yourself included. Would you feel safer? Would Disney feel they were at lower risk for liability? While the chances of that happening seem low, many were surprised that Disney required face masks or temperature checks when this all started! We’ve learned in 2020, anything is possible and on the table. The same appears to hold true in 2021. Click here to read more about how Disney World would most likely need a vaccine widely available before normal operations can resume. Consumer confidence may be slow to return to normal. Even with a vaccine, consumer confidence could take a while to bounce back. There is certainly a level of demand for travel already, as Disney World was nearly at their set capacity for Thanksgiving and the Christmas holiday seasons. Airports around the country were also packed with holiday travelers, despite nationwide surges in cases. Disney also shared in their earnings in November that the remainder of 2020 was currently booked at approximately 77% capacity. Recent Flight from Orlando However, some level of demand doesn’t immediately indicate that the tourism industry is roaring back to 2019 levels once a vaccine is widely available. There may still be a percentage of people out there who simply don’t want to travel right now, and don’t feel comfortable getting on an airplane, staying in a hotel, or visiting a destination where they cross paths with thousands of strangers. Orlando Airport However, there are some signs that could indicate that while tourism won’t return to “normal” right away, it could get pretty darn close. During the park closures, two thirds of our readers said they would feel comfortable visiting Disney ASAP. More recently, the New York Times reported that U.S. air travel has hit record highs since the pandemic began, causing concern amongst health officials but also signaling that the public could be ready to return to traveling as soon as possible. Orlando International Airport Despite a certain level of demand, Disney can only accommodate so much given current health and safety guidelines. Remember, even though Disney World has been filling their parks to capacity, that capacity is currently still set at 35%. That cap is in part due to social distancing guidelines. However, Disney may discover that once they’re able to raise capacity further down the road, they may not fill the parks quite like they did before the pandemic. Time will tell. Security Check Point During the closures in 2020 we shared how travel analysts predict that the ramifications of this crisis could be six or seven times worse than they were after 9/11. Other than financial ramifications, the attacks on 9/11 led to several policy changes that have become a routine part of our trips to Disney World, including increased security and flight restrictions that resulted in the parks becoming “no-fly zones.” Disney’s POP Century Resort September 11th, 2001 also led to Disney making major decisions about upcoming projects. At the time, Disney was planning on including a second phase of Pop Century Resort known as “The Legendary Years” which would represent the 1900’s – 1940’s, but the sharp reduction in tourism immediately following 9/11 forced Disney to stick to one phase of the hotel, and many of the buildings were left uncompleted. The location of “The Legendary Years” eventually became Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, which opened in 2012. Is Disney World safe to visit right now? Read our thoughts here. Many Americans are facing new hardships. Finally, remember that in 2020, MANY people have experienced the loss of income, a job, a business, or, tragically, the loss of a loved one. For many, a Disney World vacation will simply not be feasible for the time being, at least not in the way that many families used to travel. Magic Kingdom Regardless of discounts and deals, a family vacation to Disney World is a pricey investment. And if there’s less expendable income to go around, travel will more than likely be among the first things that get cut from a family’s budget each year. Finances combined with insecurities around traveling make simply foregoing planning that trip to Disney World much more of a possibility. Click here to read about how Disney is investing $1 billion in health and safety measures in 2021. So if a vaccine can’t “cure” Disney World this year…what will? While Disney World has reopened all four theme parks and the majority of their hotels, with reduced capacity, they still stand to operate at a loss. In fact, one analyst predicted that 2021 could be another “lost year” for the Walt Disney Company, and they may not see their finances fully recover until 2023. We can already see several signs from 2020 that Disney has a long road to recovery ahead, even once a vaccine becomes readily available. Cinderella Castle For starters, not all of the resorts have reopened. Several of the resorts that did not reopen initially include Disney’s Port Orleans Resorts (French Quarter and Riverside), Disney’s All-Star Resorts (Sports, Movies, and Music), Disney’s Beach Club Resort, Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge — Jambo House, and Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. Keep in mind that many of these resorts do have Disney Vacation Club rooms available for booking. Port Orleans Riverside Also as of this writing, Disney’s All Star Movies is set to reopen on March 22nd, Disney’s Beach Club is scheduled to reopen on May 30th, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge will reopen on June 6th, and Disney’s Polynesian Resort is set to reopen sometime in the summer of 2021. ©Disney Then, of course, there were the drastic and unfortunate layoffs that, by the first half of fiscal 2021, will have impacted 32,000 Cast Members across the Disney parks. Many of these positions will take a very long time to come back if they return at all, as Disney continues to mitigate their expenses as they recover financially from the billions lost due to the park closures. Sidewalk Art In the long run, it seems likely that the Walt Disney Company will come out of this global pandemic standing on its own two feet but it needs time to do so. They have recovered from previous crises that impacted travel, like 9/11 in 2001 and the Great Recession in 2008. However, neither of those events caused long-term closures of the parks and resorts like we saw last year. That resulted in a $6.9 billion loss in operating income for the fiscal year. The scale of this current crisis is unlike anything faced previously not just for Disney but for humanity. It will take time to recover in more ways than one. Millennium Falcon The real challenge ahead won’t necessarily be when they can bring FastPass+ back or when character meet and greets can return. The challenge won’t even truly be when their face mask mandates can be lifted. In the years to come, Disney will need to seriously grapple with the fact that consumers might be traveling less and that vacationing priorities may be different going forward. The world is changing following everything that has happened and Disney World will need to change with it. A vaccine is the first huge step towards that happening. But don’t expect everything to return to “normal” overnight. Change takes time. Click here to read about an analyst’s prediction that 2021 could be another “lost year” for Disney.

In the winter, it’s natural to lean towards warm eats and drinks. Vivoli il Gelato That’s why a staple for this time of year is hot chocolate! And, while hot and cold aren’t usually put together for delicious treats, a new dish at Vivoli il Gelato combines these two opposites! Back in December, we noticed quite a few menu changes for Vivoli il Gelato. We saw a few treats leave us, and TONS of new treats join! One of the new treats is the Hot Chocolate Affogato, and we finally got around to trying it! Hot Chocolate Affogato The treat is made with two scoops of your choice of gelato, hot chocolate, and whipped cream. This place has plenty of gelato flavors to choose from so that you can completely customize this dessert, but we chose Black Cherry and Chocolate gelato this time around. Hot Chocolate Affogato The hot chocolate gets poured on top by an employee right before it gets handed to you, however it turns cold very fast! After a few minutes, it turned into a ice cream soup-y mess. However, this soup-y mess was still delicious! The Black Cherry Gelato pairs with the hot chocolate SO well. There are chunks of cherry in the gelato, and it was basically like eating a chocolate-covered cherry. Hot Chocolate Affogato Our mistake was choosing Chocolate Gelato for this treat. It was super rich with both of the chocolates combined, but we would probably not choose that flavor again because of that. If you’re into really rich chocolate treats, then we would recommend getting the chocolate, but for us it was too much. Hot Chocolate Affogato You’ll have to eat this one fast to have hot chocolate and cold gelato, so be sure to grab a spoon and go to town on this treat right after you buy it! We’d say that if you don’t enjoy overly sweet desserts, you might want to skip this one and go with a lighter option instead. Hot Chocolate Affogato This treat is $10.50 and is easily shareable! We could hardly finish the entire thing because it was super sweet. Nevertheless, this is a fun and unique treat, and we aren’t sure how much longer it will be here.

Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at EPCOT and EPCOT Resorts! Beach Club Resort And, we’ve got plenty of updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in! EPCOT Food Update Pop Eats! Booth Since the festivals get pretty busy, there are a few popular items that fans can’t pass up during the EPCOT Festival of the Arts. This year, Pop Eats! reigned as one of our favorite booths yet again with its AMAZING grilled cheese and tomato soup combo. Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Usually, the booth will have tomato soup in themed Pop Eats! cans. Due to the demand, though, they disappeared for a quick minute… only to return again to the booth during our visit. Tomato Soup So, don’t panic — you can still get that aesthetic tomato soup photo for your social media, friends! Full Review of the Pop Eats Booth at the 2021 Festival of the Arts Lotus Blossom Cafe Despite everything else happening around the park for the festival, Lotus Blossom Cafe still had a bit of a line as guests stopped by the quick-service location for Asian cuisine! Lotus Blossom Cafe Line (We have a hard time passing up that Orange Chicken, too!) We ranked the World Showcase pavilions by their snack options! House of Good Fortune As we continued around the China Pavilion, we popped into the House of Good Fortune to check out all the merchandise and snacks inside. We noticed that there were little Bubble Milk Tea Mochi goodies out on the shelves for $5.95, and (of course) we had to try them! Bubble Tea Mochi If you’re a fan of Bubble Tea, you will LOVE these sweet treats! Bubble Tea Mochi They tasted exactly like the drink, but in the form of soft and chewable mochi. We tried Squid and Candy-flavored chips in the China Pavilion Pizza al Taglio Since the pizza window in EPCOT’s Italy Pavilion is seasonal, its openings come and go as the months change. Pizza al Taglio Closed During our latest visit, Pizza al Taglio was closed next to Via Napoli. But, we’ll keep an eye out for the next time it opens to guests once again! Read more about the limited-time opening of the Pizza Window EPCOT Merchandise Update House of Good Fortune During your next visit to the House of Good Fortune, you can add a bit of Disney flair to your kiddos’ lunches by packing their eats and treats in the new Candy and Food Box in the store for $18.95. Candy and Food Box The side of the box has a clasp to keep your snacks safe… Candy and Food Box …while the inside has 6 compartments to place your meals. Candy and Food Box The symbol on the bottom is the most popular symbol for the New Year, and it means “blessing”. See the Lunar New Year merchandise in Disney World France Pavilion Goodbye to the days of Christmas in the France Pavilion! We once picked up items like the Festival of the Holidays Christmas Ornaments on the shelves in the area, but they have now disappeared to welcome NEW options instead. France Pavilion Speaking of which, Remy the Rat has taken over the gift shop by Les Halles, just in time for the grand opening of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure this year! In honor of the epic debut, you can pick up the Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Phone Case that shows off the rat of our dreams in front of the attraction for $29.99… Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Phone Case …to go along with the matching Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Magnet for $14.99! Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Phone Case We can’t wait for this attraction to open this year! NEWS: Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Will Open in 2021! EPCOT Construction Update Italy Pavilion When are we ever NOT daydreaming about the next food location coming to EPCOT? (The answer is never.) Even though we’ll see spots like La Crêperie de Paris this year, we’ve been keeping our eye on the Gelato Cart coming to the Italy Pavilion! Gelato Cart Construction We might not have too much information about the opening quick-service location, but we sure are exciting to have some fresh gelato when it opens in the Italy Pavilion! Gelato Cart Construction And, guests will be able to try 12 different varieties of gelato and sorbet, including gluten-friendly and plant-based flavors. Plus, there will be a seasonally-inspired menu that incorporates local fruits into its recipes. Get more information about the upcoming gelato kiosk Space 220 Once Disney revealed that first little sneak peek inside Space 220, we were hooked on the upcoming restaurant. Recently, the construction walls have started to come down around the table-service location, making us hope that we would somehow see the restaurant debut soon. Space 220 Construction Still, the Space 220 sign for the restaurant is covered at the moment as we wait to hear any updates about when it will open! Of course, when we find out more details, you’ll be the first to know too! Take a look at construction progress for the upcoming Space 220 EPCOT Crowd Update Now that the holidays are over and the new year has begun, the crowds are looking a bit different compared to November and December! Attractions like Spaceship Earth sat at 25 minutes… Spaceship Earth …while very popular spots like Frozen Ever only had a 20 minute wait! Frozen Ever After Queue The Mexico Pavilion has generally seen longer lines with guests wanting to dine or explore the merchandise area. Today, though, there was no line to get inside (which was the cherry on top of our day)… Mexico Pavilion …but Donald is still missing from Gran Fiesta Tour, and so is his plant back-up! Gran Fiesta Tour The crowds earlier in the day were a bit lower than we expected since it was the start of the weekend AND festival time. EPCOT Crowds Even though we saw a few lighter crowds earlier in the day… EPCOT Crowds …the park picked up later in the evening as more guests ended their day in EPCOT now that Park Hopping is back. EPCOT Crowds And, a look at the World Showcase Lagoon was quite the way to end the day. World Showcase Lagoon Now, onto the EPCOT area resorts! Average wait times in Disney World have seriously DROPPED Disney’s BoardWalk, Yacht, and Beach Club Resort Food Update Despite the fact that Valentine’s Day has already started to sweep its way across the parks and resorts with merchandise and more, the EPCOT Resorts haven’t received any Valentine’s treats just yet. Yacht and Beach Club But, we’ll be on the look-out as the holiday gets closer! Check out the Valentine’s Day Celebration Wine Package coming soon! Disney’s Yacht Club Construction Update New rug, who dis? Disney’s Yacht Club is looking snazzier than ever since the lobby has placed new rugs inside the entrance. The previous rugs had more of a brassy, flower covered look… Yacht Club Old Rug …while the new one combines shades of blues, whites, and blacks! Yacht Club’s New Rug The rug almost reminds us of an ocean to fit in with the theme of the resort… Yacht Club’s New Rug …which looks absolutely gorgeous in the lobby, serving as a pop of color! Yacht Club’s New Rug We’ll be on the lookout for any other changes, too! Take a look at more Yacht Club Resort lobby updates Well, that’s all for this What’s New at EPCOT and EPCOT Resorts!

Generally when we’re working up an appetite in Disney World, we crave things like Cheshire Cat Tails, Mickey Waffles, and WHOPPING cookies! Cheshire Cat Tail But every now and then, we like to get a lil’ fancy with grown-up food, and a great place for elegant food with a touch of Disney magic is Be Our Guest in the Magic Kingdom! Especially now that they’ve beefed up their menu with LAMB! Tres chic! When we want a break from the crowds, and the Mickey-shaped snacks, we seek refuge in the Beauty & the Beast castle in Fantasyland, for a feast fit for a Beast! Be Our Guest From Herb-salted Pork Tenderloin to Poulet Rouge Chicken, it’s the best place to chow down in serious style! Pork Tenderloin Now there’s even more reason to make a reservation ASAP, because Be Our Guest has added Rack of Lamb to the menu! Rose Gallery at Be Our Guest Restaurant In the past, Be Our Guest has served lamb chops, but it’s been gone for a WHILE. And, this Rack of Lamb is clearly a BRAND NEW addition, because it’s not even on the physical menus yet. Be Our Guest Menu For now, Cast Members confirmed that they are simply telling tables about the entree, which is served with asparagus. Entrance Hall Even though the lamb likely isn’t Mickey-shaped, we’ll be sure to enter the castle and try it out soon. Stay tuned to DFB for the latest news with Disney food!

Don’t underestimate the power of tots. Even in the Most Magical Place on Earth, surrounded by whimsical attractions and Minnie Ears for DAYZ, the humble tater tot holds its own! Woody’s Lunch Box For proof, let’s consider the fact that the longest wait time today in Disney’s Hollywood Studios wasn’t for Tower of Terror or Smuggler’s Run. No, the longest wait was for TATER TOTS! Ever since Woody’s Lunch Box reopened, folks have been flocking to the Toy Story Land restaurant for Grilled Cheese, Lunch Box Tarts, and of course, TOTCHOS — also known as tater tot nachos! Totchos! Clearly, the make-you-feel-like-a-kid-again flavors are QUITE a draw, because this place has been uber popular lately, including today, when it out-popularized the park’s most famed attractions! Woody’s Lunch Box That’s right: the wait time for totchos (and other yummy toy-approved snacks) was about 100 MINUTES today! Woody’s Lunch Box Wait Time To put that into context: the next longest wait was 90 minutes for Tower of Terror. Hollywood Studios Wait Times The wait for Slinky Dog Dash was a mere 50 minutes, which means you could ride the coaster TWICE in the time it took to get your tots! Toy Story Land Like we said, never underestimate the tater tot. Disney Recipe: It’s Time for Totchos from Woody’s Lunch Box! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

Try the gray stuff, it’s delicious! Seriously, though, gray gets a bad rap. Grey Stuff Cupcake Just because it’s not the prettiest color in the crayon box doesn’t mean it should be shunned! For proof, we tried a new GRAY cocktail in Disney World that even Lumière would approve of! We’re always down for a little moonshine from Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’, one of our fav restaurants in Disney Springs, for really ANY occasion. Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ Whether sipped through a squeeze bottle or a glass, the boozy cocktails here are as STRONG as they are tasty! For their latest sippable innovation, they’ve gone…GRAY! And like that Be Our Guest cupcake, it’s indeed delicious. Gray Nissan The Gray Nissan cocktail is a mix of Blue Hooch and Strawberry Lemonade Moonshine, which when stirred together in a cup, turns a rather murky shade of gray. Since the Gray Nissan is not an official menu item, you’ll have to ask for a combination of the two drinks. Gray Nissan But it’s not what’s on the outside that counts, right? Gray Nissan This is one drink that tastes MUCH better than it looks, and it’s the perfect cocktail for moonshine lovers who enjoy tart drinks, because with a mix of strawberry lemonade and lemon-infused ‘shine, this thing will make you pucker! Gray Nissan If you prefer fruitier drinks, or something less boozy in general (or you order drinks primarily for Instagram purposes!), maybe give this a skip, but at $13, it’s a great bargain in Disney Springs! In case you prefer to EAT your moonshine, try the Shine Cake! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox! Click here to Subscribe! Don't Miss Out on Any Disney Fun!

Today is the grand opening of Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs! We’ve been buzzing with excitement ever since we visited on the first day of their soft opening back in December! Gideon’s Bakehouse After a brief closure following their soft opening, Gideon’s is BACK in action with scrumptious cookies, cake, and coffee! (Oh, and did we mention some FREE goodies for the opening too?) To celebrate their grand opening, Gideon’s is serving up TEN flavors of cookies today. It looks like people are excited, because there is currently and 11 HOUR WAIT! Half of the cookies being served today are Limited-Edition flavors that you wouldn’t normally find unless you visit during a specific month or season! Oh, Gideon’s, you spoil us. Gideon’s Bakehouse Cake We tried three of these Limited Edition flavors on our last trip to Gideon’s (Santa’s White Christmas, the Coffee Cake Cookie, and Coffee Toffee Cookie), but there were two more that we needed in our bellies ASAP. Frankenstein First up is The Frankenstein, normally only seen in October as a seasonal Halloween dessert at Gideon’s. “It’s ALIIIIIVE” and making a special appearance TODAY for the grand opening! According to Gideon’s menu, this monstrosity includes “parts of all the candies you want in your bag,” and topped with M&M’s. Frankenstein Cookie Inside, you’ll find crushed Oreo and Chocolate Pieces. Essentially, the ingredients of this cookie are a chocolate lover’s paradise. Aren’t you practically melting just looking at it?? (We are!) Frankenstein Cookie Good ole’ Frank might look like a beaut, but it’s one of our FAVORITE cookies at Gideon’s too, along with many other fans! The cookie is packed with so much Oreo, cookie crumble, and M&Ms that there is cookie or candy in every bite, making it just as over the top and wonderful as its namesake. After those amazingly rich and filling cookies, we needed a sip of something to wash it all down! Cold Brew One of our standouts the last time we visited Gideon’s was their Peanut Butter Cold Brew. This flavor was available again today, along with their Ginger Snap Cold Brew and Gideon’s White Cold Brew. The Peanut Butter version of the cold brew was thicker and richer (similar to its peanut butter cookie counterpart)… Peanut Butter Cold Brew …while the Ginger Snap Cold Brew had a nice kick of spice to complement the sweet flavors of the bakery’s treats. Ginger Snap Cold Brew Gideon’s has done it once again! The bakery is STILL a hit with us, and we’re thrilled to officially welcome it to Disney Springs during its grand opening! As we keep checking back on Gideon’s Bakehouse for new sips and snacks soon, we’ll keep you updated with all the foodie news you need to know.

Today we’re celebrating the official grand opening of Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs! Gideon’s Bakehouse The grand opening is filled with limited-edition cookies, free merchandise, and more! While visiting to get our hands on those delicious cookies, we spotted some new decor and it’s seriously eye-catching. Not only is Gideon’s Bakehouse serving up incredible desserts, but the shop also has an interesting and mysterious backstory. Gideon’s tells a tale of a seller of rare books and antiquities, Jonathan Lindwurm. It seems that Lindwurm’s ledger and daguerreotype were found during the shop’s construction, and now some of his antiquities can be found throughout the bakehouse! Gideon’s Bakehouse Today, we spotted another mystical addition to the shop, and we think you need to see it for yourselves! This awesome fire element adds to the ambiance of Gideon’s Bakehouse and makes the shop even more unique. We’ll be sharing more updates from the grand opening, and sharing reviews of the cookies we’re trying out! Click here to meet the mysterious characters of Gideon’s Bakehouse!

What time is it? COOKIE TIME! Gideon’s Bakehouse Okay, maybe Saturday morning isn’t usually cookie time, but it IS when it’s the Gideon’s Bakehouse GRAND OPENING in Disney Springs. This beloved cookie supplier soft-opened the location last month, and now we’re celebrating the full opening of the restaurant at a special event! Today is a very special day for Gideon’s Bakehouse and they are pulling out ALL the stops to thank customers for dropping by to celebrate the occasion. We’re talking free merchandise, free treats, and LIMITED-EDITION COOKIES! Gideon’s Bakehouse Grand Opening We arrived at Disney Springs bright and early, and sure enough, TONS of folks had the same idea. Orange Garage opened at 9AM and there was a line to get in even before that time. Gideon’s Bakehouse Grand Opening Once we headed in through the temperature check, it was pretty clear that LOTS of folks were headed over to Gideon’s Bakehouse. Gideon’s Bakehouse Line By the time we made it over, there was already a line. Remember — Gideon’s didn’t open until 10AM! So, this many folks were there a full hour early. It was only a short period of time before the physical queue had filled and Gideon’s employees came out to start up the Virtual Queue.

If you’ve been to Disney World, chances are you’ve waited in some lines. Gideon’s Bakehouse Whether it’s for the hottest attraction in the park, or to eat at a restaurant, we’ve all waited in some form or another. But with the grand opening of Gideon’s Bakehouse today comes one of the longest lines EVER! Gideon’s Bakehouse closed abruptly after a soft opening on December 23rd to prepare for a grand opening. And today, the bakery is having its grand opening event! We absolutely loved the cookies, cake, and coffee on our soft opening visit, and so did a LOT of other Disney Springs guests. Gideon’s Line The virtual line at that time was constantly a few hours long, but today the queue is at 11 hours! The employee informed us that the virtual queue was closed for the day, but that guests may drop out of line and they could possibly reopen later in the day. What a wait! Gideon’s Line The line in the pictures is just to sign up for the virtual queue. Once you sign up for that, then you have to wait additional time until you receive a text that they are ready for you to come in! Gideon’s Line Luckily, this wait is virtual so you could go around Disney Springs (or maybe even have a full day in the parks), but 11 hours is a shocking wait time for anything! We’ll be doing a full review of the new cookies, so stay tuned! See pics and videos from the soft opening of Gideon’s Bakehouse!
