Despite Southern California’s regional stay-at-home order mandating that restaurants can only serve takeout and delivery, Disneyland is still finding ways to give guests the options to pick up their favorite sweet treats while following government protocol! We hopped into Trolley Treats, the resident candy and sweets shop in Disney California Adventure (currently open as part of the Buena Vista Street expansion of Downtown Disney) to try one of their latest Rice Krispie Treats…but we would have to wait a little while before we actually ate it! Currently, Trolley Treats and Marceline’s Confectionary are still open for guests to purchase candies, cookies, and more! However, these snacks are sold pre-packaged and you cannot consume them until you are off Disney property. We’re always keeping a close eye on the display cases for any new treats, and a Sorcerer Mickey Rice Krispie Treat caught our eye on our latest visit! Sorcerer Mickey Rice Krispie Treat We were able to admire this Rice Krispie Treat, at least with our eyes, while we were still visiting Buena Vista Street (a lovely Cast Member confirmed that taking photos of our snacks is totally fine!). Sorcerer Mickey Rice Krispie Treat Is it just us, or are we missing Disneyland (and Fantasmic!) more and more the longer we stare at this Rice Krispie Treat? Sorcerer Mickey Rice Krispie Treat We were so dang excited to actually EAT this l’il guy, we hopped back in our car and drove all the way home so we could find out how it tasted! True, we were fairly confident it would taste like every other Rice Krispie Treat, but we couldn’t help but wonder if it would feel different eating one in our living room. Enjoying our Sorcerer Mickey Rice Krispie Treat at home! Like other Disneyland Rice Krispie Treats we’ve enjoyed in the past, this one hits just the right amount of sweetness without being too overwhelming. It’s a classic Rice Krispie Treat with a layer of milk chocolate, topped with red and yellow sugar crystals to resemble Mickey’s sorcerer robe, along with a white chocolate sorcerer hat! Enjoying our Sorcerer Mickey Rice Krispie Treat at home! And while we will admit it was a TAD strange to be taking these taste notes from our couch, it tasted just as wonderful as it does in the parks! The Sorcerer Mickey Rice Krispie Treat is currently available at Trolley Treats on Buena Vista Street for $5.99!

Just a few days ago, it was winter in Florida with cooler temperatures, holiday decorations, and all kinds of festive snacks. Pineapple Treats But, in true Florida fashion, December has ended which means we’re hopping straight from winter to…SUMMER?! That’s right! Move over winter flavors, we’re ready to sit on a beach with pineapple-flavored treats in hand. It may not actually be summer and we may not actually be on the beach somewhere, but that’s exactly where these NEW snacks are taking us in our minds. If you’re looking for a taste of all things tropical, head over to Disney’s Candy Cauldron in Disney Springs. That’s where we found a whole bunch of treats that had us feeling like we were on a summer vacation, including Pineapple Fudge, a Pineapple Mickey-Shaped Cookie, a Pineapple Cupcake, and more! If you’re looking for a STRONG punch of pineapple flavor, the Pineapple Cream Fudge is the treat you’ll want to get! We could really taste the pineapple here and it had us reaching for our bathing suits and sunglasses. Pineapple Fudge The treat was creamy and fantastic!! You can get this treat for $4.39. Pineapple Fudge We really liked all three of these treats and thought they were fantastic! For the strongest punch of pineapple flavor, definitely go for the fudge. But, if you’re looking for something lighter, try the cookie or cupcake! Pair one of these (or all of them) with a Pineapple Dole Whip from Marketplace Snacks or a GIANT Dole Whip IN a Pineapple from the Poly and you’ll be well on your way to creating your very own paradise, no beach or cruise needed. Pineapple Treats We’ll definitely be on the lookout for more delicious treats all over Disney World so be sure to stay tuned for more updates!

It’s true: Walt Disney World is no longer providing complimentary MagicBands for Resort guests. This change, which was announced last summer, officially kicked in as we began the New Year. New MagicBands spotted in Animal Kingdom But that’s doesn’t mean MagicBands aren’t still a thing, as evidenced by the abundance available for purchase around Disney World merchandise locations (and still available for pre-order at a discounted rate for Resort guests). In fact, a stop by Mickey’s of Hollywood in Disney’s Hollywood Studios today revealed a new color choice! Although this one might look a wee bit familiar, so you’ll want to look closely… We must admit, we did a bit of a double-take when we found the new pale Yellow MagicBand. NEW Yellow MagicBand That’s because a NEON Yellow MagicBand hit the scene in June, and they clearly look similar. But, when you put them side-by-side, they are indeed different! NEW Yellow MagicBand (left) and Neon Yellow MagicBand (right) So, if the neon trend never really was your thing, but yellow totally IS, you’ve now got a new option to enjoy when it comes to MagicBands! The new Yellow MagicBand is $14.99. While we found it in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you can check locations like EPCOT’s Mouse Gear, Magic Kingdom’s Emporium, and World of Disney in Disney Springs if you’re on the search for a new MagicBand that’s just your style! We asked our readers if they are still planning to use MagicBands in 2021. Find out what they said here! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

We learned back in November that legendary Walt Disney Company Imagineer Joe Rohde would be retiring today, January 4th, 2021. ©Disney His 40 year-long career with Disney has included such amazing projects as World Showcase pavilions, Guardians of the Galaxy — Mission: Breakout!, Captain EO, and most notably, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. His time with the Imagineering department has produced some incredible work, and today he and his coworkers had a few things to say about his retirement. Earlier today, Rohde himself reminded fans of today’s special occasion with a post on his Instagram account (@joerohde). He noted his future plans in the post, including travel, artwork, and spending time with his wife, Melody. According to Riddley, Joe Rohde has donated these boots to the Walt Disney Archives. There they will be saved for viewing by guests, fans, historians, and future Imagineers who dream to follow in Rohde’s footsteps. ©Joe Rohde Rohde has contributed many brilliant ideas to the Walt Disney Company over the years, and we’re grateful for the time he dedicated to the Disney parks. We’ll be on the lookout for any more tributes to him in the near future, especially as his legacy is remembered among those who worked with him. Read Here About Joe Rohde’s Greatest Projects!

2020 was quite a unique year for everyone, including The Walt Disney Company. Cinderella Castle All of the Disney theme parks around the world temporarily closed for a period of time, and some have had to shut down again or have remained closed. Things have been tough for those in the community as well with many Cast Members having been furloughed or laid off, and so many dealing with loss due to the pandemic. But, in a time of difficulty, so many have also reached out to help others in need. When thousands of Disney Cast Members were furloughed or laid off, so many asked how they could help or what Cast Member-run businesses they could support. During the holiday season, many supported organizations that help children or others in need. Disney fans could also give support to others by buying some great merchandise celebrating Disney’s partnership with Make-A-Wish and they could donate toys for Toys for Tots while shopping online or in the parks. Cast Member at Pizzerizzo Just a few days ago, Disney released a full video sharing some of the ways in which they gave back to the community and those in need throughout 2020. For starters, Disney donated over 880 tons of food. We know they donated quite a bit during the shutdown to help that food go to those that needed it most rather than just let it go to waste when the parks did not have any visitors. Disney’s Pop Century Resort Disney also donated supplies to healthcare workers including 1,000,000 cloth face coverings in the US and 250,000+ rain ponchos globally and more. ©Disney When it came to the holiday season, Disney donated 90,000 toys for Toys for Tots, 650 Thanksgiving meals to those in need around Orlando, 50,000 Christmas ornaments to brighten up 150 French and Belgian hospitals, and, with the support of guest purchases, $720,000 to help grant wishes through Make-A-Wish. Disney World also collaborated with A Gift For Teaching to donate school supplies to local teachers, and gave back in a multitude of other ways. Toys for Tots Check out Disney’s video celebrating the whole year below. 2020 may be over and the holiday season may be coming to a close, but the spirit of giving can continue to live on. There are still many ways you can help those in need — like by supporting food banks who help Disney Cast Members; donating to organizations that can help Cast Members receive the groceries and supplies they need for themselves, their families, and their pets; checking out podcasts and other businesses started by former Cast Members; and by spreading magic to your community no matter where you are. Cast Members at the Boardwalk Bakery You can also donate money or volunteer your time at Give Kids the World Village, or even get the Disney license plate, which helps benefit Make-A-Wish. Nathaniel’s going to Disney World! We’re interested to see what organizations Disney partners with or focuses on this year in terms of their efforts to give back, particularly as all eyes turn to Disney World with its 50th Anniversary approaching. We’ll let you know what we find in terms of future ways to give back or even help Disney give back to others. Stay tuned to DFB for more details! Disney is also taking steps to help the environment!

We spent a rainy Sunday in Magic Kingdom yesterday and we’re definitely not complaining! Tinker Bell Cavalcade We like to take regular spins around Disney World’s premier park to make sure we’re up to date on allllll the latest news. We’re bringing you updates on everything NEW in food, construction, and merchandise! Magic Kingdom Food Updates Sunshine Tree Terrace The only food update we had was over at Sunshine Tree Terrace. The I Lava You Float was removed from the menu, but still listed on a placard on the counter. I Lava You Float Magic Kingdom Construction Updates Crowds The most notable thing in Magic Kingdom today was the crowding. Crowds were higher than we expected for a rainy Sunday after New Year’s Day. When we first stopped in, it was sprinkling rain and the Emporium was PACKED with people buying longsleeves, hoodies, and jackets. Emporium It was also unusually messy in this store. Typically it’s spick and span but the high crowds had left a lot of merchandise misplaced by guests. Emporium Pinch points were also an issue around the park. The worst spot we noticed was the narrow path connecting Tomorrowland to Fantasyland by Tomorrowland Speedway. Tomorrowland Aaaand there were some unusually high waits! Prince Charming Regal Carrousel had a 40 minute wait when we walked by it. Carrousel Wait Due to the rain, Splash Mountain had a surprisingly low wait at just 35 minutes when we passed. Splash Mountain Magic Kingdom Merchandise Updates Main Street Emporium Finally, we spotted one new item on the merchandise front! Over at Main Street Emporium, we checked out this sweet 2021 Mickey and Minnie Snowglobe for $19.99. 2021 Snowglobe That’s all, just a little update for today.

If you’re headed to Disney World soon, there are a few things you need to know about like Park Pass reservations, which restaurants are open, and some tips for wearing a face mask in the parks. New Distancing Markers for Slinky Dog Dash But, another important thing you’ll want to be aware of is how Disney is handling loading its attractions while keeping social distancing in mind. Will you be sitting with another party on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run? Are there plexiglass barriers on this ride or the other? We’re breaking it ALL down for you today. Keep in mind that these are all based on our recent experiences in the parks, but things could vary. So, while these are generally what we’ve seen, you might experience something different during your trip. And we will continue to update this post with new information as things change around the parks. Magic Kingdom We start our tour around Walt Disney World in Magic Kingdom. “it’s a small world” From our experience, “it’s a small world” will load more than one party to a boat, but they will leave about 2 rows between parties for social distancing. “it’s a small world” Astro Orbiter At Atro Orbiter, just as before, each party gets their own rocket. In terms of actually getting to the rockets, you ride the elevator to the top, but Cast Members have typically only been loading one party per elevator. Astro Orbiter Atop The PeopleMover Big Thunder Mountain Railroad For Big Thunder Mountain, we have seen the socially distanced line stretch FAR out into the park, including into the Frontierland Train Station, so be sure to look for the Cast Member with the “End of Line” sign if there is a long queue that stretches far from the attraction. Line for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad In terms of the actual seating on the attraction, parties are spaced out. Generally, guests are not seated in every row. Typically, only one party is loaded per cart (each cart having 3 rows), or at least one row is left between parties. Big Thunder Mountain Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin For Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, again the line might go through some unexpected places — like through the queue area for Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor, so be on the lookout for that. Buzz Lightyear Line in In terms of the ride itself, they have typically loaded every other car, meaning there is one car between your party and the next. Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin Country Bear Jamboree In the waiting room, there are social distancing dots on the floor, indicating where guests should stand. Country Bear Jamboree Within the theater itself, every other row is blocked off. In the rows where guests can sit, there are certain portions of the row that are marked as unavailable for seating. Country Bear Jamboree Evacuation Guests with large parties may need to split up as they won’t be able to sit in those areas that are marked as unavailable. Dumbo the Flying Elephant Over at Dumbo, the interactive play area where guests would previously wait for the ride is temporarily closed. In terms of the attraction itself, each party gets their own elephant, like before. Dumbo in Magic Kingdom Jungle Cruise At the Jungle Cruise, guests are no longer sat in the middle of the boat. Instead, guests sit only on the sides and are divided from other parties to the side of them by distancing barriers. There’s also a barrier separating guests from their Jungle Cruise Skipper. Jungle Cruise Mad Tea Party At Mad Tea Party, only one party is seated per teacup. There really is no dramatic difference here in terms of seating. Mad Tea Party Photo from 2019 Mickey’s PhilharMagic Guests must maintain social distancing from one another as they wait in the area just before the theater. Inside the theater, there are some rows and seats blocked off to help guests maintain their distance from one another. Mickey’s PhilharMagic Peter Pan’s Flight Want to soar above London on Peter Pan’s Flight? Plexiglass barriers have been added to part of the queue. Peter Pan’s Flight queue And, if it gets really long, sometimes the queue is looped through part of Columbia Harbour House. Peter Pan’s Flight Line Redirected Through Columbia Harbour House In terms of the attraction itself, each ride vehicle is being loaded, but it is (as always) limited to one party per ship. Peter Pan’s Flight Pirates of the Caribbean Yo ho! At Pirates of the Caribbean, more than 1 party is typically seated per boat, but they are separated by several rows to maintain social distancing. Pirates of the Caribbean Prince Charming Regal Carrousel On the Carrousel, guests are assigned a row and can select a horse from that row, and it is limited to one party per row. So, if you are a party of 1 and there are 4 horses in the row, you can pick whichever horse you want and no one else will be in that row with you. Prince Charming Regal Carrousel Seven Dwarfs Mine Train At Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, there is again plexiglass in the queue areas. Physical Distancing Barriers In terms of seating, guests are generally being seated every-other row with an empty row of seats between each party. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Click here to see more about what it’s like to ride Seven Dwarfs Mine Train now! Space Mountain At Space Mountain, there are plexiglass dividers in some of the queue areas. Space Mountain Line The rockets are generally being loaded with 1 party per each section of 3 seats. This is another ride, however, that can have a queue that backs up QUITE far from the attraction (we found it ALL the way back by Tomorrowland Speedway around New Year’s Eve), so that’s something you’ll want to keep in mind. Space Mountain end of line Splash Mountain On Splash Mountain, generally, parties are loaded with several rows separating them from other parties in the same boat. Splash Mountain This is another one that can have a very stretched-out line. Splash Mountain Line The Barnstormer At The Barnstormer, every other row is unavailable to ensure distance between parties. The Barnstormer The Hall of Presidents In the Hall of Presidents, there are social distancing dots on the floor in the waiting area, indicating where guests should stand. Inside the theater, there are rows and seats blocked off for social distancing. Haunted Mansion In the Haunted Mansion, guests walk through the Stretching Room pre-show area as basically an extended part of the queue. The traditional spiel and waiting in this area has been eliminated. Each party is then seated in their own doom buggy (like before). At the moment, every doom buggy is being loaded (meaning they are not skipping doom buggies between parties). Indoor Queue for Haunted Mansion The Magic Carpets of Aladdin In the Magic Carpets of Aladdin, one party is seated per flying carpet. Magic Carpets of Aladdin The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh The high-touch, interactive elements of the queue have generally been blocked off or turned off. Only one party is seated per honey pot. Winnie the Pooh Tomorrowland Speedway At Tomorrowland Speedway, guests are generally stopped from entering their vehicle until the other drivers exit, so as to promote social distancing. Tomorrowland Speedway Under the Sea — Journey of the Little Mermaid Sing and dance along with Ariel in your clamshell as you go under the sea in the Journey of the Little Mermaid. As always, the ride only loads one party per shell, and every shell is being loaded. Under the Sea — Journey of the Little Mermaid Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress At Carousel of Progress, every other row is closed, and in those rows that are open, some seats are marked as unavailable. Parties may have to split up as those seats marked as unavailable cannot be used. Carousel of Progress Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room The set-up is similar for Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room, where certain rows are blocked off, and even on rows that are being utilized, certain areas are marked as unavailable. Enchanted Tiki Room Swiss Family Treehouse For the Swiss Family Treehouse, guests are asked to maintain social distancing from one another while walking through the area. Swiss Family Treehouse EPCOT Awesome Planet At Awesome Planet, there are social distancing markers in the pre-show room, indicating where guests should stand and wait. Awesome Planet Inside the theater, just like many other shows, generally, every other row is closed and several seats are marked as unavailable to help promote social distancing. Awesome Planet Canada Far and Wide in Circle-Vision 360 Inside of the theater for Canada Far and Wide, every other row is closed and there are specific areas within rows that are open that are marked as unavailable. Canada Far and Wide Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival The situation is similar again at the Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival. There are distance markers in the pre-show room where guests are instructed to stand. Inside the theater, some rows are closed. Groups of seats in open rows are also marked as unavailable to promote social distancing. Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival Frozen Ever After On Frozen Ever After, there are plexiglass barriers in part of the queue… Plexiglass Barriers …and there are now plexiglass dividers between each row of the boat, and Disney is seating every row on the boats. Plexiglass dividers on Frozen Ever After Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros At Gran Fiesta Tour, there is plexiglass in the queue line… Plexiglass …and different parties are spaced out on the boats. Generally, the boats are loaded similar to Pirates of the Caribbean, where there are around 2 rows between your party and another party in the same boat. Gran Fiesta Tour Impressions de France & Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along At both of these attractions, social distancing markers are in the waiting area. Inside the theater, every other row is closed, and several seats within open rows are marked as unavailable so guests can maintain proper social distancing. Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along and Impressions de France Theater Journey Into Imagination with Figment At Journey Into Imagination with Figment, one party is loaded per car, and some parts of the attraction have been modified. For example, guests are no longer blasted with air and that “skunk smell” in the Smell Lab. High-touch areas in the ImageWorks — The What If Labs are also not available. Journey Into Imagination with Figment Living with the Land Some boats in Living with the Land have plexiglass barriers, and in those boats, guests are seated in every row. On any boat without plexiglass barriers, guests are seated with one row between parties. Boat with Plexiglass, Living With the Land Mission: SPACE On Mission Space, one party is loaded per vehicle. All of the games and interactive areas in the post-ride area are temporarily unavailable. Mission: SPACE Reflections of China At reflections of China, guests are instructed to maintain social distancing in the waiting area. Inside of the theater, certain rows are entirely closed and specific areas within open rows are marked as unavailable. Reflections of China Soarin’ Around the World On Soarin’, plexiglass has been installed in certain parts of the attraction. Additionally, several seats are locked and unavailable. Soarin’ Seating Spaceship Earth At Spaceship Earth, Disney is leaving spaces between parties. In other words, parties may be able to stay together but you generally won’t be seated with another party in the same vehicle. Spaceship Earth Test Track Each party is given their own car at Test Track. Test Track The American Adventure Just like other shows, at The American Adventure certain rows are blocked off. Within the rows that are open, several seats are marked as unavailable to maintain distancing. The American Adventure Additionally, it should be noted that the Voices of Liberty are no longer performing in the rotunda on the first floor. But, they did perform at the America Gardens Theatre during the Festival of the Holidays and are set to return there for the Festival of the Arts. The Seas with Nemo & Friends At the Seas with Nemo & Friends, we used to see Cast Members leaving space between parties, but they have recently been loading every single shell. The Seas with Nemo & Friends Disney’s Hollywood Studios Alien Swirling Saucers At Alien Swirling Saucers it is, as always, 1 party per vehicle. There are social distancing markers throughout the ride and loading area, but other than that the ride’s loading hasn’t dramatically changed. Alien Swirling Saucers Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy At Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy, just like other shows, certain rows are closed off and some seats within open rows are also marked as unavailable to promote distancing. Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway Plexiglass barriers have been installed in Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, and Disney is seating every row. Plexiglass Runaway Railway Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run just recently got a plexiglass makeover and adjustment to its boarding process. Now, there are colored dots on the floor directing guests where to stand when inside the Falcon. The loading process now ignores the pilot, engineer, and gunner markers on the floor. Instead, there are now the sets of corresponding colored dots. Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run There is also plexiglass in the cockpit around the gunners’ seats, separating the gunners from the engineers. Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run A Cast Member explained that this set-up could potentially allow for a group of 1-4 people plus another group of 1-2 at any given time. Click here to see more about the changes at Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run! Muppet*Vision 3D Just like the other shows, at Muppet*Vision 3D, there are social distancing markers in the pre-show area, certain rows are unavailable in the theatre, and certain seats in available rows are marked off so that guests can maintain social distancing between their party and other parties. Muppet*Vision 3D Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith At Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, there are plexiglass barriers between the loading rows… Loading every row …and the ride is now seating guests in every single row. Loading every row Slinky Dog Dash At Slinky Dog Dash, there are some plexiglass barriers in the queue… Slinky Dog Dash …and guests are also now being seated in every single row. Slinky Dog Dash today Star Tours — The Adventures Continue In Star Tours, every other row is not being used. There are also plexiglass dividers on the ride, and a number of seats between parties in available rows are skipped, again to promote social distancing. Star Tours The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror On the Tower of Terror, like at the Haunted Mansion, the pre-show is being entirely skipped. Tower of Terror Pre-Show Room Also, plexiglass barriers have been installed on the ride vehicles, but Disney was still limiting capacity in the vehicles, by skipping rows and skipping certain seats between parties. Plexiglass on Tower of Terror Toy Story Mania! At Toy Story Mania! there is plexiglass in parts of the queue, and guests are loaded as normal (since the guests face back-to-back, they have not been skipping rows or anything of that nature between parties). Queue Vacation Fun — An Original Animated Short with Mickey & Minnie Just like at other theaters in Disney, essentially every other row is closed and some seats within available rows are marked as unavailable to maintain social distancing. Keep in mind, this might mean that you’ll have to split up your party as the seats marked as unavailable cannot be used. Vacation Fun at the Mickey Shorts Theater Walt Disney Presents At Walt Disney Presents: One Man’s Dream, guests can walk freely through the space but should maintain an appropriate social distance from others. In the theater show at the end, every other row is closed and some seats in open rows are also marked as unavailable. Walt Disney PresneOne Man’s Dream Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance The Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance line is another one that can stretch QUITE far from the actual entrance of the attraction, so keep an eye out for that. Rise of the Resistance Queue Redirected to Muppet Vision 3D Queue Inside the actual attraction, there are various pre-show areas, all of which have some measure of social distancing markers… …and/or plexiglass. Plexiglass You’ll also find social distancing markers and plexiglass in the transport ship… Plexiglass …and plexiglass on the ride vehicles themselves. On the vehicles, due to the addition of the plexiglass, Disney is now loading every single row. Rise of the Resistance For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration At the Frozen Sing-Along Celebration, there are social distancing markers in the waiting area… Guests Waiting to Enter the Frozen Show Theatre …and inside the theater, every other row is skipped, and some seats within open rows are marked off to maintain distance between parties. Frozen Show Seating Disney’s Animal Kingdom Avatar Flight of Passage In the Flight of Passage queue, there are (again) some plexiglass barriers. Plexiglass in the Flight of Passage queue Guests are also now being loaded in every single seat in the link chamber without any kind of barrier between them. Flight of Passage loading every bike DINOSAUR At DINOSAUR, there are plexiglass barriers on the attraction vehicles behind the first row, and Cast Members are generally only seating rows 1 and 3, leaving an empty row between parties. Plexiglass Barriers on Dinosaur Discovery Island Trails, Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail, Maharajah Jungle Trek On the trails at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, you’ll find a number of social distancing markers and lines, particularly in areas like the Gorilla Falls viewing area as the number of guests being allowed into that area at any one time is being limited. Line to see Gorillas at Gorilla Falls There are similar things in place in the area of the trail where guests can see the naked mole rats and other, smaller creatures. Line at Gorilla Falls Generally, for the trails, you should expect to maintain social distance from other guests at all times, and keep in mind that you cannot eat or drink beyond certain points in some of the trails, so you’ll want to finish your coffee and snacks before entering. Expedition Everest — Legend of the Forbidden Mountain At Expedition Everest, Disney is loading every single row, meaning there will be no empty rows between you and the party in front or behind you. Expedition Everest It’s Tough to be a Bug! At It’s Tough to be a Bug! there are social distancing markers in the pre-show (just like other rides), and inside the theater itself, some rows are marked as unavailable. On the rows that are available, there are some seats that are unavailable for use, and there are also some plexiglass barriers between some seats. Tough to be a Bug Kali River Rapids At Kali River Rapids, generally, every other pair of seats is left empty for social distancing between parties. Kali River Rapids Kilimanjaro Safaris At Kilimanjaro Safaris, there are plexiglass barriers between every row, and guests are being seated in every row, but rows are limited to one party. Cleaning Cycle at Kilimanjaro Safaris Na’vi River Journey At Na’vi River Journey, Disney is generally only loading one party per boat. Na’vi River Journey The Animation Experience at Conservation Station At the Animation Experience, guests are more spread out to ensure social distancing, and capacity is limited. The Animation Experience at Conservation Station TriceraTop Spin Much like Dumbo, TriceraTop Spin hasn’t seen any major changes. The ride is loaded with 1 party per dinosaur, but, like with the other rides, there are social distancing markers throughout. Triceratop Spin Wildlife Express Train As you wait for the Wildlife Express Train, you’ll find social distancing markers on the floor indicating where you should stand or sit. Social Distance Once on the train, you’ll see that certain rows are closed and specific areas have been marked off as unavailable for use to maintain social distancing. Affection Section Affection Section reopened in November of this year with hand-sanitizing stations, hand-washing stations, and distancing measures. Affection Section We may not have stated it in each of the attractions above, but note that attractions in Disney World generally all have some form of social distancing markers in their queue areas. There are generally also sanitizing stations at various points near the attractions — mostly just before the attraction, just before you actually load into the attraction, and as you exit the attraction. Attractions are also being regularly sanitized. As always, these loading procedures are subject to change, so stay tuned to DFB for more updates!

You might’ve heard but the Walt Disney Company is putting a BIG focus on streaming in the coming years. ©Disney At Disney’s 2020 Investor Day, we learned a lot about what to expect from Disney’s various streaming services — including the upcoming international offering Star. Now, we know more about which titles are coming to the Star service in the U.K. Take a look! Star is set to launch as a part of Disney Plus in Europe on February 23rd. The offering will also be coming to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore; plus as a standalone option to Latin America. The content on Star will be more adult than offerings on Disney+ and you’ll probably recognize several of the announced titles! ©Disney Star U.K. will introduce two Star Originals with Big Sky, a drama from David E. Kelley, and Love, Victor, set in the same world as 2018’s film Love, Simon. Other titles coming to the service include 24, Lost, Desperate Housewives, How I Met Your Mother, Prison Break, The X-Files, Atlanta, Black-ish, and some of the Die Hard movies. ©Star This announced lineup is U.K.-specific and may vary from country to country during the release. Regardless, Star is expected to double the amount of content available to watch on Disney+. Pricing will see an increase in most markets where Star is launched. In the U.K., the price of Disney+ will increase to £7.99/month or £79.90/annual. ©Star As always, stay tuned to DFB for all the latest updates on Disney+ and the Walt Disney Company!
