Yesterday, it was announced that Disneyland would become Orange County’s first mass vaccination site. Disneyland Disneyland will serve as one of five large-scale vaccination sites within the county. Not many specific details were shared during yesterday’s announcement, and we now have a few more updates! Orange County’s mass vaccine sites are referred to as “point-of-dispensing” sites, or Super PODS. These sites are expected to vaccinate thousands of Orange County residents each day. Throughout the county, vaccines are currently being distributed in a phased, tiered approach created by the California Department of Public Health. Here’s what we know about how vaccinations will take place in Disneyland. New ‘Soul’ Face Masks The Disneyland Super POD location will be located at the Toy Story Parking lot on Katella Ave, across the street from the Anaheim Convention Center. The current phase of vaccine distributions includes law enforcement first responders that serve in high-risk communities, as well as those 75 years of age or older. Those eligible must also either live or work in Orange County. Vaccinations are available by appointment only, and individuals will likely be contacted by their employer to schedule an appointment at the Disneyland Super POD site. California Mandate Sign This vaccination site is expected to become operational later this week. Supervisor Doug Chaffee shared, “I’m proud to have Disneyland Resorts and the City of Anaheim, both in my Fourth District, be the first of the Super POD sites in Orange County.” Buena Vista Street Coronavirus cases in California continue to soar, and these mass vaccination sites are seen as “absolutely critical in stopping this deadly virus,” Supervisor Doug Chaffee also noted. California State Order Sign We’ll be sure to provide more updates as they become available, so be sure to check back with us!

You might not have had the chance to visit the Disney theme parks last year due to the global pandemic, and your trips for 2021 may be on hold, particularly when it comes to Disneyland. But, that doesn’t mean you can’t score some seriously awesome merchandise from the parks from the comfort of your own home! Disneyland Last year, El Capitan Theatre in California started selling some special concessions and exclusive holiday merchandise online, and now they’re doing it again. Ever wanted to grab that awesome Mickey Aqua Balloon Bucket or that amazing Retro Disneyland Popcorn Box without having to leave your couch? Well now’s your chance! The El Capitan Theatre Hollywood is offering new offerings this year as part of their Concessions To Go program, and the current offerings are perfect things to snag for your next movie night at home! ©El Capitan Theatre First, if you’re a big fan of the Mickey Mouse Balloon Popcorn Buckets, you can grab the Aqua version of this item, which we saw in Disneyland back in 2019, for $20! Arendelle Aqua Popcorn Buckets Feeling a bit more nostalgic and in need of something retro? Then you’ll love the Retro Popcorn Box with Flip Lid that is available for purchase. We spotted this one at Downtown Disney last year, but now it can be yours no matter where you are. This popcorn box is priced at $25. Popcorn Bucket Finally, you’ll need something to drink once you eat some salty popcorn at home from your new buckets. So, why not grab the awesome Stainless Steel Disneyland 65th Anniversary Tumbler?! Disneyland 65th Anniversary Tumbler The tumbler comes with 2 sapphire glow cubes, which feature a Mickey shape in the center surrounded by more Mickeys all around. ©El Capitan Theatre The price of the mug and glow cubes bundle is $35.

Also, all sales are final and there are no refunds or exchanges. Retro Popcorn Bucket Inside El Capitan also can’t guarantee when the items will be delivered or shipped. Each order will have a $3 transaction fee added to it, along with shipping and handling which varies depending on how many items you buy.

Even though the holiday season is over, there are still PLENTY of new snacks to try in Disney World! Magic Kingdom We’ve tried some fan-favorite chips, a cupcake with a rich filling, and a popular s’mores treat with a new twist. Today, we stopped by The Artist’s Palette at Disney’s Saratoga Springs to check out their bakery case and we found another sweet treat to review — the Caramel Blondie! The Caramel Blondie is topped with caramel fondant drizzle frosting and powdered sugar and boy, does it look and smell delicious! But does it taste as good as it leads you to believe? Caramel Blondie This thing is seriously HUGE. You get quite a bit of blondie for that $4.49 price tag! Caramel Blondie The blondie is dense, yet surprisingly moist. It’s not too sweet, which is great, because the caramel fondant drizzle is very much so. Together, they created a nice balance! Caramel Blondie We were thankful that the drizzle didn’t cover the whole treat, because it would’ve been a bit too much. If you’re looking for a treat that’s not chocolatey or you’d like to split a snack with another person, this is an excellent choice! Caramel Blondie If you want an incredibly exciting, Disney-themed snack, then this may not be your first choice, but it was certainly worth the value. All in all, we would probably order this again, especially because that smell is super enticing! Disney World is constantly releasing more snacks for us to try, so stay tuned to DFB for the latest reviews of all the treats! Check Out Our Review of Hollywood Studios’ Butterfinger Cupcake!

We seriously did a happy dance when the Pulled Pork Nachos became available again on Mobile Order at Capt. Cook’s in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Pulled Pork Nachos from Capt. Cook’s Well, if you love the chips that these nachos are served on, but don’t necessarily need all the toppings, then have we got the snack for you. Capt. Cook’s is selling Poly Chips as a separate side item all on their own (and the Tiki Gods rejoiced)! Capt. Cook’s Poly Chips feature house-made potato chips and wonton chips. These are the same chips that the nachos are served on. Poly Chips You can also get Capt. Cook’s House-Made Chips as a side to your meal. But, if you just want the Poly Chips, you can now get them as their own item. They are served warm (yummmm) and are priced at $3.29. Poly Chips These chips have some adoring fans out there, and we totally get why. They are particularly good if you’re looking for a snack that’s different than a regular, packaged item or some of the other snacks out there. So, if you love these chips, you can grab them as a separate snack and munch on them all throughout your trip. Poly Chips You should be aware, however, that these chips don’t come with a side or dipping sauce. We personally like them on their own, but we could see that being a downside to those who absolutely need some kind of dip to go with their chips. Pro tip: grab an order of these chips and then head to Tambu Lounge to enjoy them with a tropical cocktail and perhaps some small plates.

Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, we’ve seen a lot of new health and safety measures put into place, especially for travelers. Disneyland Park — Health and Safety Reminders Those coming to Disney World can expect physical distancing markers, a touchless security system, temperature checks, and mask mandates, along with enhanced cleaning procedures. And outside of Disney World, other popular travel destinations and airports are putting their own precautions in place to protect travelers. Now, there’s a good chance that COVID tests will be required for those traveling to the United States. The Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. is expected to begin requiring airline passengers to prove that they tested negative for Coronavirus before flying into the country. This measure comes in an effort to reduce the spread as case numbers continue to rise. Flight from Orlando They stated that this requirement for negative tests comes from the CDC. The order could be issued as early as today and could go into effect on January 26th, 2021. The order would apply to international travelers as well as U.S. residents returning to the United States. Last month, the CDC began requiring negative test results for those traveling from the U.K.. Air travel has yet to return to “normal” since the pandemic, with numbers down significantly from last year. Orange County International Airport We’ll be looking out for more information on this subject, including an official confirmation from the CDC, so stay tuned to DFB for the latest news.

Several refurbishments are happening in Walt Disney World right now! Harper’s Mill Construction Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Square Riverboat are all getting fixed up in Magic Kingdom. Over in Animal Kingdom, Kali River Rapids is going through some Winter downtime, and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is getting a full-scale makeover. The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover is among those that are temporarily closed. But, today we saw a glimmer of hope for a potential reopening. We’ve been anxiously awaiting the return of the PeopleMover since before the Disney World parks reopened. It was scheduled to open with Magic Kingdom but hasn’t returned since, with the refurbishment date continuously being pushed back. We miss you, PeopleMover! Recently, the date was moved to the end of this month, and now we’re beginning to see more signs of a reopening on the horizon. Today, we got this video from reader Shawn Cornell — the PeopleMover is moving again! There were no people on the attraction, but it was such nice sight to see this baby moving again! We’ve got our fingers crossed that the PeopleMover will reopen on its new January 31 reopening date! Stay tuned to DFB for the latest updates on this attraction and all the others currently under refurbishment at Disney World. Read more about what’s going on with the PeopleMover here.

When traveling to Disney World, there are a variety of places you could stay! Grand Floridian Many guests choose to stay on-site, enjoying the luxuries of a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, with direct transportation to the parks and special perks. Others decide to stay off-site in vacation homes or other hotels for cheaper or more spacious accommodations. In the coming years, there’s going to be a new choice for those who wish to try staying outside the Disney World property lines — the Evermore Orlando Resort. In 2023, the Evermore Orlando Resort will open in phases as a 10,000 room, billion-dollar project. The resort should offer “a new approach to vacationing” with a community of homes built specifically for vacation rentals. ©Dart Interests | Evermore Orlando Resort Concept Art The resort will include flats and homes with 2-11 bedrooms each, Orlando’s first Conrad Hotel (Hilton’s luxury brand), a 20-acre tropical beach complex, an 8-acre crystalline water amenity by Crystal Lagoons, an 18-hole Nicklaus Design golf course, and several restaurants. It will border Walt Disney World, just minutes away from Magic Kingdom and Disney Springs. ©Dart Interests | Vacation Homes Concept Art The project is spearheaded by Dart Interests and is a redevelopment of the Villas at Grand Cypress. Christopher Kelsey, President of Dart Interests, says “With the launch of the Evermore project, Dart is introducing an entirely new hospitality category that will change the landscape of vacation rental homes.” ©Dart Interests | Flats Concept Art The first phase of the project will open with about 1500 bedrooms spread across vacation homes, flats, villas, and the Conrad Hotel. The hotel itself will debut with 433 rooms, 40,000 square feet of meeting space, a spa, and numerous dining options. Bookings for the resort are slated to launch in 2022 and the first guests will likely arrive in Summer 2023. ©Dart Interests | Conrad Hotel Concept Art For more information on upcoming projects in and around Walt Disney World, make sure to stay tuned to DFB.

Yesterday, we tried an INSANE hot dog from Hot Diggity Dog, one of the Disney food trucks at Disney Springs. With billionaire’s bacon, Spicy Peanut Butter Spread, Banana Honey Mustard, Chipotle-Berry Preserves, and more — this dog is either the stuff of your dreams or your nightmares! The King Dog But, while we were at the food trucks we also stopped for a slightly less outrageous treat — the Mac & Cheese Fritters! We’ve had some absolutely AMAZING fried mac & cheese at Wine Bar George, so we had to see how these little treats would compare. The Mac & Cheese Fritters are on the menu for the Mac & Cheese Disney Food Truck in Disney Springs. But, when we visited yesterday, we actually paid for them at the Hot Diggity Dog truck and then picked them up at the ESPN Truck. They’re priced at $6 and are made of Fried Mac & Cheese with Cotija Cheese. Mac & Cheese Fritters We actually thought these little fried mac & cheese bites were quite good! They were very cheesy and easily shareable. We also really liked the Cojita cheese on top. Whatever cheese was used in the mac and cheese itself didn’t have a really strong hit-you-in-the-face type of flavor. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. It just means the flavor wasn’t distinct enough for us to really tell exactly what type of cheese had been used. Mac & Cheese Fritters We enjoyed these and we’d actually get them again. But, in our opinion, the ones at Wine Bar George are much better! If you’re looking for a quick snack and you’re a fan of cheese, or you’re looking for something your kids will enjoy, this is something you might want to check out. If you like cheese but you’re looking for something a bit more refined, we’d say head over to Wine Bar George for their creamy and oh-so-cheesy delicious Crispy Mac & Cheese Bites. We’re always looking for more unique Disney snacks, so stay tuned for ALL kinds of photos, videos, reviews, and more!

Well, now you can sing that song to yourself (and everyone around you) every time you put on your 2021 Valentine’s Day Lion King MagicBand.

Recently, we noticed that the Harper’s Mill Sign was missing from one of the building (and still is at the moment). Harper’s Mill Construction There are also a few more tents, tarps, and trucks in the Rivers of America to push forward with the construction progress! Harper’s Mill Construction We will continue to monitor the progress and will let you know if anything changes. Magic Kingdom Crowd Update Now that the holiday season has ended and we’re in Disney World’s quieter season, the crowds have been looking a little less busy than they were during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s. Main Street Crowds Although people are wrapping up their breaks and vacation with a few lingering crowds, they have slowly started to disperse from the peak time of the year. Cinderella Castle Crowds There are a few pockets of crowds throughout the park at busier times of the days… Crowds …with varying wait times at spots like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad with 45 minutes… Big Thunder Mountain Wait …and Splash Mountain with 60 minutes. Splash Mountain Wait Along with the attractions, quick-service spots like the Joffrey’s Coffee in Tomorrowland had some of the longest queues in the parks too (and we can’t blame everyone for needing their coffee!). Space Mountain Wait Well, that’s all for this What’s New at Magic Kingdom! We’ll catch you next time for more updates.

Early last year, Disney Cruise Line began suspending some of its sailings due to the global pandemic. Disney Cruise Line Disney officials did note that the cruise line would be the last of Disney’s businesses to return. Most recently, Disney Cruise Line canceled sailings through February of 2021, but we also saw that they had removed March sailings from their website. Now, Disney Cruise Line has extended the cancelation of their sailings through more of 2021. Disney is still working to prepare for a return to service following the guidelines issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For the time being, however, Disney Cruise Line is canceling all sailings departing through March 2021. Disney Cruise Line Sailings are canceled on the Disney Cruise Line ships as follows: Disney Dream through March 29th, Disney Magic through March 29th, Disney Wonder through March 28th, and Disney Fantasy through March 27th. If your cruise is affected by this cancelation and you have paid for your reservation in full, Disney is giving you the choice of a 125% future cruise credit that can be used for a future sailing before May 31, 2022. The credit is set to be automatically applied to your account. Alternatively, you can get a full refund. Disney Cruise Line If you haven’t paid in full, you will automatically receive a refund of what you’ve paid so far. If you have any questions, you can reach out to Disney directly or reach out to the travel professional that you booked your cruise with. Castaway Cay Although the CDC’s No-Sail Order has expired, the new regulations that have been put in place by the CDC for future cruising are quite strict. Disney’s CEO, Bob Chapek, had noted in the past that these regulations would delay their return to sailing more than they had hoped. But, Chapek noted that they are remaining positive and believe there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Castaway Cay We’ll be on the lookout for any more updates regarding Disney Cruise Line and let you know what we see.

Disney announced yesterday that their Magical Express bus service from the Orlando International Airport to the Disney World Resort hotels will be discontinued in 2022. Disney World If you’ve relied on Disney’s Magical Express for all of your transportation needs between the airport and Disney World, you might already be thinking about what other transportation options you’ll be able to use once Magical Express is discontinued. 2022 might be a while away, but it’s never too early to start planning! So, today we’re breaking down some of the BEST ways to get to Disney World once Magical Express is discontinued. Now, the value of some of these and how effective or efficient they might be for your traveling crew can depend on how many are in your party, so that’s something to keep in mind. Let’s dive in! 1. Use a Rideshare Service Whether you turn to Uber, Lyft, or another rideshare service, using typically an app on your phone to arrange for someone to pick you up from Orlando International Airport and take you directly to your Disney World hotel can be fairly simple and quick. You’ll want to keep in mind the price of this option to determine if it’s best for your group. Partners Statue Pricing We recently looked at what a ride from Orlando International Airport to Disney’s Contemporary Resort would cost. The Uber app showed that an UberXL for that trip would cost $51.77 with a car that fit up to 5. An Uber Comfort cost $41.31 and an UberX cost $35.10 — both of which fit up to 3 passengers. Want to go for something a bit more luxurious? The Uber Black was priced at $90.27. There are also separate costs for cars with car seats. At the time we checked, the prices were UberX Car Seat $45.10, Black Car Seat $100.27, and Black SUV Car Seat (with seating for up to 6) $115.95. These rates can all vary, however, depending on the date and time when you request your ride. Disney’s Contemporary Resort Car Seat Info If you need a car seat, you’ll want to look into what options the rideshare service offers. Uber, for example, offers a Car Seat Service in select cities, including Orlando. With this service, the car that will come to pick you up will be equipped with a car seat. When selecting your car in the app, you’ll want to scroll down to see the cars with that particular option. When we checked on rides from the airport to the Contemporary one day, there was an UberX Car Seat option available for $45.01, a Black Car Seat option available for $99.70, and a Black SUV Car Seat option for $115.30. Prices will vary. Overall A rideshare option be somewhat limiting depending on the number of people in your party and the amount of luggage you have. If you’re traveling with a large group or simply have a large family, you may not all fit in a single vehicle, even a larger one. One big benefit to this mode of transportation though is that you can be dropped off directly at your hotel, without the need to stop at other hotels to let out other guests. So, if you’re in a rush or trying to drop off your bags quickly so you can then run right into the parks, this can be a good option. 2. Rent a Car Another thing you might want to consider is renting a car. Orlando International Airport has lots of major rental car companies located right on the airport, meaning (for many of the companies) you won’t need to take a shuttle bus to pick up your rental car. Tomorrowland Speedway Pricing We looked at Alamo and priced out what a rental car would cost if it was picked up at the airport on January 17th and returned to the airport on January 23rd. An economy car that fits 4 passengers was priced at $365.75 total. A compact car that fits 5 was priced at $376.54 total. A mid-size car that fits 5 was priced at $391.72. A 7-passenger minivan that fits 7 was pried at $428.42 total. There were lots of other choices too. Again, keep in mind that these prices are all subject to change. EPCOT Car Seat Info/Parking Fees Alamo, and, we expect many, if not all, of the other car rental companies, also offer child safety seats for an additional per day charge. But, if you rent a car for the entire length of your trip you’ll also need to factor in Disney’s daily hotel parking charges. Currently, Disney charges $15 per night for parking at Value Resorts, $20 per night at Moderate Resorts, and $25 per night at Deluxe and Deluxe Villa Resorts. Disney’s POP Century Resort! To avoid some of these parking charges, you could rent a car just for the day of your arrival, pick it up at the airport, drop your family and bags off at the hotel, and then designate one person to go return it that very same day to Disney’s Car Care Center, and take advantage of the Complimentary Shuttle Service to get back to your hotel. And then you could do it all again in reverse for your return to the airport. When we looked, a single day rental for a 7 passenger minivan (picked up at noon from Orlando International Airport and returned to Disney’s Car Car Center by 4:30 PM) was $87.71 total for January 17th. That price, again, is subject to change. Disney’s Pop Century Resort It may seem like a lot of work and effort to rent a car, but you’d have to crunch the numbers to see if it’s worth it. And keep it mind, that having a car to use throughout the trip will give you a bit more flexibility and you won’t have to wait around for Disney transportation. 3. Get a Taxi Another option is to simply hop in a taxi at the airport. You can actually book a local taxi cab through some rideshare services, like Uber, directly on the app, or you can call or hail a cab while at the airport. According to one website, the estimated taxi fare can be around $71.72 for a trip from Orlando International Airport to Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Orlando International Airport Some taxis can carry up to 9 passengers. That can be good if you’ve got a large party. If you need a car seat, you may need to call the taxi company to request it and some may charge a fee, so keep that in mind. 4. Use a Shuttle Bus & Shuttle Van Although the Magical Express will be discontinued in 2022, there are other shared ride shuttle busses and vans available from the airport that can take you to your hotel. For example, there are some vans and busses operated by Mears separate from the Magical Express. These shuttles or vans can be quite economical. Orlando International Airport You’ll just need to keep in mind that depending on the time of transfer and your destination, the shuttle may make more than one stop. So, if you’re in a hurry to get to your hotel or want the transportation vehicle all to yourself, then a shared service like this might not be ideal for you. 5. Other Private Car Services As another alternative, you could book a car, van, or other vehicle from a private car service company. Some of these can seat a large number of passengers, can be pet-friendly, have child seats available, or have other amenities that might be important to you. If you are celebrating a special occasion or just want to add some extra style to your trip, you could also opt for something extravagant like a limo! Disney’s Yacht Club Ultimately, getting a van or other car from one of these private services can be a good financial decision depending on how many people you’re sharing the cost with. In the Past: Minnie Vans In the past, guests could also use Disney’s Minnie Van Airport Service to set up a ride to or from the airport and their Disney World Resort hotel. The Minnie Van airport service was previously priced at $155each way, gratuity not included. Here’s the Minnie Van we spotted driving around Disney World today! Disney’s Minnie Van service, however, is temporarily unavailable at the moment. You can read more about this and the latest update on the service from Disney — here. We’ll be on the lookout for any updates about that in the future. In the Future: Brightline The Brightline train’s connection from Orlando International Airport to Disney World is not something you can take advantage of yet, but we couldn’t make this list without at least mentioning it. In the fall of 2020, Disney and Brightline shared that a near-high-speed rail station will be built at Disney Springs. ©Brightline The proposed station’s design is currently set to include a lobby on the ground level, passenger facilities, and an upper-level train platform. With this train service, guests would be able to hop on a ride from the airport to Disney Springs, and then take Disney’s bus (or other) transportation from Disney Springs to their hotel. ©Brightline Curious what this train could look like, where else it will go, and what services will be on board? Check out our full post for more info! Currently, the train is targeting a 2023 Disney Springs opening. Click here to see more about the Brightline train! And that’s our break-down of some of the best ways you’ll be able to get from the airport to Disney World once Magical Express is gone. Keep in mind, for many of the services discussed, you may need to factor in a tip for your driver. Overall, what mode of transportation is best for you will depend on how many guests you have in your party, any special things you may need, and what you’re willing to spend in terms of cost. We’ll continue to keep you updated if we hear more about the discontinuation of Magical Express and other Disney news.

While strolling through the World Showcase this morning, we spotted a wedding party! It’s not often that we get a glimpse at these things in the parks, so we were pretty excited. The bride looked absolutely stunning in her attire, and even the rain couldn’t dampen the joy of the group! A wedding in EPCOT! All the guests were dressed up so fancy, and we caught a glimpse of them as they were leaving the seating area. It looks like they all had a wonderful time!
