We absolutely LOVE spotting new menu items! The Lunching Pad That’s why we pay such close attention to any menu updates. Disney recently announced that some new breakfast items would be making their way to Magic Kingdom, and we had the chance to try them this morning! One of the new breakfast items landed at The Lunching Pad in Tomorrowland — check out the Bacon and Egg Croissant Breakfast Sandwich! Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Croissant This sandwich is exactly what it sounds like: bacon and egg on a croissant! We saw this sandwich pop up last year around the holidays as well, along with some other limited-time breakfast offerings. So, is this breakfast sandwich worth a stop? Let’s dig in! Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Croissant It was pretty much as straight-forward as it sounds. It was a good bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, but nothing groundbreaking or super exciting! We did really enjoy the croissant, it was delicious and had a great texture. But we wish it had a condiment of some sort since it was pretty dry as is. Bacon, Egg, and Cheese As far as breakfast items go, this sandwich was one of the more filling quick service finds, so it’s a solid way to start your day if you’re looking for some protein and grains to get ya going! You can snag one for $6.79. Here’s a closer look! And since we were at The Lunching Pad, we had to snag a Cheshire Cat Tail too! Since Cheshire Cafe is still closed, these delicious pastries have bounded between The Lunching Pad and Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe. Cheshire Cat Tail No surprise here, the Cheshire Cat Tail was delicious as always! We enjoy dipping ours in coffee, so we recommend our fellow coffee drinkers out there give this trick a try the next time you grab one! The Cheshire Cat Tail is available for $5.49. Try Dipping Your Cheshire Cat Tail in Coffee! That’s not a bad breakfast spread if we do say so ourselves! Breakfast from The Lunching Pad We’ll continue to keep trying new menu items around Disney World, and we’ll let you know what we think!

NEW Foot-long Corn Dog Debuts at Magic Kingdom’s Sleepy Hollow Refreshments! View the full article

There are HUNDREDS of great places to eat at Walt Disney World, and while many of those lie behind the gates of Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom, there are tons of spots you can dine at for a magical meal without having to step foot into a theme park. Disney Springs alone has over 60 dining options! Disney Springs It can be a LOT to try and navigate the best spots to dine at when visiting Disney World in general. And now, with Park Passes and shorter hours meaning you may not be in a theme park every day for every meal, knowing where to dine at Disney Springs or at one of Disney’s currently open resort hotels can be overwhelming. But you know we have your back. Whether you’re taking a break from the parks, looking for a meal before EPCOT’s opening or after Animal Kingdom’s closing, these are some of the BEST table service spots to eat at Disney World right now without a park ticket! Sanaa — Animal Kingdom Lodge – Kidani Village Sanaa has been one of our FAVORITE restaurants at Disney World for some time now for the two things that matter most: the food and the views. Animal ViewFirst, let’s discuss the most important thing: the food! From the Butter Chicken to the signature Indian-style Bread Service, dishes at Sanaa are absolutely packed with the spices of Africa and India, so expect lots of fragrant food with warming flavors like plant-based Samosas and Potjie Inspired Braised Beef. Sanaa And those VIEWS! If you want to go to Animal Kingdom solely for the titular animals, well, you don’t have to! Just head to Animal Kingdom Lodge and grab a table at Sanaa to spot animals grazing in the savannah. Save that Park Pass for another park and enjoy birds RIGHT up at your table while you dine on some seriously yummy bites! Sanaa Bread Service…With an Onlooker! If you don’t want to partake in indoor dining right now but still want to enjoy Sanaa, you’re in luck! This restaurant is featured on the Table Service To Go feature on My Disney Experience. Oh yeah, you can get Sanaa’s Bread Service (or maybe TWO Sanaa Bread Services) TO GO! Take it back to your hotel room and enjoy it in comfort! Our Table Service To Go feast! Sanaa is a great option for dinner after a day at Animal Kingdom (since the park often closes before suppertime) or if you’re looking to cater to vegetarians or vegans in your party! Read our latest review of Sanaa here! Morimoto Asia — Disney Springs If you’re out for adventurous flavors, don’t sleep on Disney Springs’ Morimoto Asia, either. The atmosphere in here is drop-dead GORGEOUS, with shimmering string light chandeliers that look like they belong in Cinderella Castle! Morimoto Asia But, OK, it’s beautiful, but how’s the food?! There are some truly iconic dishes here, like the Morimoto “Buri-Bop,” a dinner AND a show, where the chef cooks yellowtail in front of you along with raw egg, rice, and veggies in a 550-degree bowl! This is a dish that led to Chef Morimoto winning Japan’s Iron Chef Competition, so you KNOW it’s good! Buri Bop Being Made! It’s so tender and has flavors of ginger and soy, which will convert ANY fish hater! That’s worth the trip alone, tbh. Read our latest review of Morimoto Asia here! Topolino’s Terrace — Disney’s Riviera Resort Character dining, especially at breakfast, is a beloved Disney tradition for many families, and if you want to do that right now, well, you don’t even have to go to a park to do so! You can head to Topolino’s Terrace at Disney’s Riviera Resort! It’s Donald! There are a few other places you can spot Mickey outside of character cavalcades in the parks right now. You can also see him at Ravello Italian Restaurant at the Four Seasons, and he’s back cooking and meeting guests at Chef Mickey’s. Mickey at Topolino’s Terrace Beyond the main mouse, Toplino’s Terrace has some pretty good eats! The menu, while smaller than usual, features Quiche Gruyère, Sour Cream Waffles, and Smoked Salmon for breakfast, which is when you’ll see Mickey and co. Smoked Salmon Topolino’s Terrace is a great option for a late start day at EPCOT (which sometimes opens as late as noon!) or for a lazy day when you just want a great brunch before swimming in your pool or shopping at Disney Springs! Read our pre-park reopening review of Topolino’s Terrace here! California Grill — Disney’s Contemporary Resort California Grill can sometimes be hit-or-miss, and there’s no ifs, ands, or buts about it, this place is PRICEY! One of the sometimes problems for California Grill is that it can feel a bit cramped and rushed, but due to lower capacity now, it feels bright and airy at this Contemporary Resort spot! California Grill Seating While there are no fireworks at the Magic Kingdom right now (well, there are little baby fireworks), the views at California Grill are still seriously stunning! And you can see Cinderella Castle with its nightly Christmas projections shining bright at nighttime. It’s not pyrotechnics, but it’s still pretty darn gorgeous! View from California Grill California Grill is also a great spot for sushi lovers, with sashimi and hand-rolled sushi. It also has some fan-favorite items currently on the menu, like the Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli (thank goodness it’s back!) and Pepperoni Pizza. Pepperoni Pizza California Grill is great for date night or an evening when you want to soak in the views and magic of the Magic Kingdom without actually having to step into the Magic Kingdom. Click here for our latest review of California Grill! Grand Floridian Cafe — Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa There’s a LOT of fabulous dining at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, but don’t sleep on Grand Floridian Cafe. This hidden gem table service spot is on the Monorail loop, so it’s the perfect stop on a day full of resort hopping. Grand Floridian Cafe This is one of our favorite spots for brunch, and it features some SECRET MENU ITEMS (hellooooo, chicken and waffles). Chicken and waffles This quiet, well-lit spot also happens to have a KILLER Chipotle Bloody Mary, topped with shrimp and chorizo! Bloody Mary While Grand Floridian Cafe has dinner, too, we think this spot is an elegant way to start your day, either for a weekend indulgence if you’re a local or as a much-needed break from the hustle and bustle of the parks if you’re visiting Disney World. Read our full review of the Grand Floridian Cafe here! Homecomin’ — Disney Springs Do you love fried chicken? Like, really, really LOVE fried chicken? If yes, then Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ is the spot for YOU at Disney Springs! We’ll eat Homecomin’s Fried Chicken any day! It’s classic comfort food with a local twist here, from the Cheddar Cheese Drop Biscuits to the HFK Barbecue Bun, which features sweet and spicy barbecue chopped pork, a fried egg, and Southern slaw. HFK Barbecue Bun We love this spot for a fill-your-gut meal at Disney Springs, and BONUS, they have refillable sippers to go for $22, and you can refill it with an on-tap moonshine for $13! Coke products are FREE, so, we’ll take two. Read our full review of Homecomin’ here! Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant — Disney Springs SPEAKING of hearty meals at Disney Springs, we could never forget Raglan Road! This spot is oftentimes lively and loud, but due to capacity limitations, it’s mellowed out a bit lately. Raglan Road Despite a recent price increase, Raglan Road’s signature pub fare has been a hit with fans for years, and it’s hard to go wrong with classics like Fish and Chips, Shepherd’s to Die for Pie, and Braised Be Beef. Shepherd’s Pie We also recently learned this place has a TOTALLY Instammable brunch with delicious dishes like Pork Hash Tagged and delectable bread service. Pork Hash Raglan Road is a good option if you like a good time, good, hearty pub food, and a good ol’ pint of Guinness with your FACE ON IT! Read our full review of Raglan Road’s brunch here! Wine Bar George — Disney Springs Is wine more of your thing? Heck, even if it’s not, Wine Bar George in Disney Springs is a TOP spot for dining. Like, we kind of can’t get enough of this place, and it’s one of the FIRST spots we went to when Disney Springs reopened this spring. Wine Bar George You may think a wine bar is pretentious, but the drinks, the eats, the servers, and the master sommelier here couldn’t be any more inviting! George Miliotes at Wine Bar George’s Reopening The interior is warm and cozy, making this spot perfect for date night or for a great catch-up lunch with friends! Wine Bar George The wine? Well, there are more than 130 choices by the ounce, bottle, and glass as well as cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages. Hooten Whiskey Cocktail As for the food, it’s hard to pick just a few things to recommend, but we’re CONSTANTLY dreaming about the tender House-Made Meatballs, the melt-in-your-mouth Iberico Pork Pluma, and the Saganaki on Fire. Yes, that’s FLAMING cheese, presented table-side, of course. Saganaki on Fire Wine Bar George is a great spot to begin or end your Disney vacation, so if you’re flying in midday, head here for dinner as a wonderful “welcome back” meal. You’ll feel at home right away! Read our latest review of Wine Bar George here! And there you have it! Those are some of the BEST table service spots at Disney World outside of the theme parks right now.

It’s no secret that the DFB team LOVES Disney World! Mission: SPACE Many of our team members visit Disney World frequently. Some of us visit once or twice a year while others head to the theme parks daily. What can we say? We can’t get enough of Mickey, churros, and rides on Space Mountain! Collectively, we have done practically EVERYTHING at Disney World. However, we polled the team to see what attractions and experiences are often overlooked or we’ve never had the chance to experience. Here are the results! Kiddie Stuff We may report and write about Disney World, but we’re well past the age demographic for kiddie coasters. We usually don’t pop into the Magic Kingdom for a quick ride on Dumbo! (Although, that sounds pretty awesome now that we’re writing it.) It has been a while since most of us have partaken in the more kid-centric activities unless those of us with kids are there with little ones in tow. Some of us have never done the attractions meant for toddlers! Disney Junior Dance Party It can feel a little awkward attending a dance party that is meant for kids…without a kid. Some of us have children so we’ve dropped into the dance party at Disney’s Hollywood Studios to boogie down with our little ones on occasion, but other members of our team don’t have children. Those of us without kiddos are unlikely to attend a party that plays hits like the “Hot Dog Dance.” (Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dog! Now, it’s gonna be stuck in our head.) Disney Junior Play & Dance Party That said, if you want to bust a move at the dance parties, you should definitely go for it! We’ve absolutely seen adults get funky at the dance parties with or without kids in tow! Sometimes you need to bust a move to get your energy up for the rest of the day. Check out when the Disney Junior Dance Party reopened! Character Meet and Greets This next one definitely got mixed results. Both sides were very adamant about where they stood when it came to meeting Mickey and friends. A few of our team members feel a bit awkward when meeting beloved Disney characters. They love the entertainment value and the magic that the characters bring. But, it can still feel a bit odd when meeting them in-person (especially, once again, without kids to focus the attention on!). Chip ‘n’ Dale at Garden Grill Some of our team loved to get autographs and personalized pictures when close-up meet and greets were still a thing. They might have waited in a long line for a hug from Pooh or an action-shot with Chip ‘n’ Dale. Whether you’d rather stand in line for a churro or a picture with Mickey, is totally up to you! Check out some of the distanced character meet and greets you can do in Disney World! For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration Some of us love to pop into the Frozen Sing-Along show at Hollywood Studios. There’s something cathartic about singing “Let it Go” 10 times louder than the 4-year-old sitting next to you. The sing-along is a great place to sit down in air-conditioning and take in a little entertainment. Also, the improv actors throw in some humor and fun moments to keep the parents entertained. Frozen Sing-Along Show And yet, there are many of us that would rather avoid an entire audience singing overdone songs. We get it. Disney played “Let it Go” so many times that it will be hard to ever forget the lyrics. They’re burned into our brain. Check out when the Frozen Singalong reopened here! EPCOT We love you, EPCOT! We’re sorry you get an entire category to yourself in this article. You just have so much to eat and do that we forget everything else you have to offer sometimes! EPCOT is huge so it’s easy to pass up some smaller attractions or restaurants. Many of us are easily distracted by the FOUR yearly festivals that happen every year. We’re too busy visiting each booth and being serenaded by Mariachi Cobre to remember you have more stuff hidden deep in your pavilions! American Adventure Pavilion There’s actually a lot going on inside the American Adventure! If you’ve never visited the building (like a few of our team members admitted), there is a full-size theatre located inside. The theatre is actually really beautiful and houses an audio-animatronic show. The pavilion is also where you might find the renowned Voices of Liberty a capella group. (Although, right now, they took their Christmas show to the America Gardens Theatre across the Pavilion.) American Adventure Pavilion Some of us haven’t seen the attraction, watched Voices of Liberty, or even stepped inside! It could be because some of us would rather discover other countries rather than what’s in our own backyard. Or, we head straight to the Funnel Cake Stand and completely forget there is other stuff here! Check out Voices of Liberty performing for the holidays here! Le Cellier Steakhouse A good majority of our team has surprisingly never eaten at this signature steakhouse located in EPCOT. We recently reviewed the restaurant upon reopening and have reviewed it many times before. Don’t get us wrong! Our reviews are usually pretty positive. It’s just that some members of our team would rather grab pastries from Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie in France or visit the festival kiosks rather than sit in the dark restaurant for a long meal. Le Cellier Steakhouse Also, the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival will usually serve a version of the famous Cheddar Cheese Soup and a “Le Cellier” Wild Mushroom Beef Filet Mignon with Truffle Butter Sauce at the Canada Pavilion kiosk. These are a few of the dishes that Le Cellier is famous for. Some of us figure that since we can have Le Cellier’s best foods for $5-8, we don’t need to visit for a whole meal! What did we think of Le Cellier on our most recent visit? Click here! Mission: SPACE This last EPCOT no-no for many of us shouldn’t come as a surprise to TOO many. Mission: SPACE is a rocket launch simulator that makes guests feel like they’re being catapulted into space. It uses centrifugal force to create g-forces that are similar to what astronauts experience during a launch. Ok. There’s a reason astronauts go through so much training because you gotta have a stomach of steel to experience this thing! Mission: SPACE Many guests, including some of our team, experience motion sickness when taking a ride to Mars. Some describe it less as motion sickness but rather just feeling “off” the rest of the day. (Your brain is being smushed into the back of your skull so…understandable). Some of us rode it once and will never do it again. Others don’t dare to step inside just in case things go sour. Disney got the hint because many other guests seemed to feel the same way. Years back they added green (less intense) and orange (full intensity) versions of the ride and allowed guests to choose. Some guests have noted that they have an easier time taking the Green Mission and were less likely to get sick with this version! EPCOT Films EPCOT has a few educational shows that are placed throughout the World Showcase Pavilions. The shows tell a brief history of the country and Disney tries to offer a little entertainment by having them hosted by actors like Catherine O’Hara and Eugene Levy. Some of us like to cool down with some air-conditioning at Canada Far and Wide (formally O’ Canada) or Reflections of China. Other guests would rather skip the shows entirely. Canada Far and Wide For some guests, sitting and watching an educational movie isn’t their idea of a good time. They would rather take another ride on Soarin’ Around the World or experience the thrills of Test Track. There are other films outside of the World Showcase pavilions, like the Pixar Shorts in the Imagination Pavilion or Vacation Fun in Hollywood Studios, too. The films tend to be just as unpopular with members of our team when it comes to entertainment. Click here to see our first look at EPCOT’s Awesome Planet! Attractions and Events Rise of the Resistance This Hollywood Studios ride is the most popular attraction at Disney World right now and is still really difficult to get a chance to experience. In order to ride the attraction, guests must score a Boarding Pass, which is basically a spot in a virtual line. The passes disappear in a matter of seconds and if you’re successful, it feels like winning the lottery. Rise of the Resistance This isn’t a case where anyone on our team didn’t WANT to go on this — some of us STILL haven’t been lucky enough to win the Golden Ticket and board Rise of the Resistance! If you haven’t had luck getting a pass, you’re in good company. Many of us have had no such luck either. Disney recently implemented a new system rule that allows guests to book a pass at 7AM from anywhere. As long as you have booked a Park Pass reservation and have a valid ticket, you can essentially try to get your pass from your resort room. Hopefully, this will make it easier for everyone (including us!) to experience the attraction. If not, there’s always a second chance at 1PM from inside the park! Click here to see the newest change coming to Rise of the Resistance’s Boarding Groups runDisney So, here’s the thing. Some of us only run when being chased. The most exercise we get is when we’re rope dropping Seven Dwarfs Mine Train on Christmas Day. This is our way of saying…not all of us find running to be a fun activity meaning a lot of us haven’t partaken in a runDisney marathon. Many of the races are being held virtually this year. However, when they are in session, the marathons are very popular and the least expensive races can fill up quickly. ©Disney The races are also fairly spendy for someone who doesn’t love to run all the time. They can range between $90 – $500, depending on the race and distance. The event does look super cool though! You get to dress in Disney-inspired athletic costumes and gallivant through empty theme parks in the early morning hours. We might put the RunDisney marathons on our to-do list when they make a comeback. Don’t hold us to that though. BRB, going to lay on our couch for a sec… . Click here to learn about the latest on runDisney! Exclusive Disney World Experiences Disney offers activities and experiences at varying price levels and exclusivity. The exclusive experiences aren’t necessarily impossible to partake in, they’re just a lot more difficult to book and they tend to be out of our price range. Some team members have been lucky enough to join The Finer Things Club and indulge in a fancy dining experience or a private tour. Some of us have yet to have the pleasure. But it’s on our bucket lists! Club 33 Ah yes, the infamous Club 33. This is Disney’s “Best Kept Secret”…that most people know about. In order to step inside any Club 33 location, you must either become a member or have a member bring you as their guest. (The second option is way easier to accomplish but STILL hard!) You have to apply to become a member and then you’re put on a waitlist while your application is reviewed. The waitlist can be YEARS long to get in. Once you’ve aged 10 years, you’ll have to pay an initial membership fee of $33,000 and a spendy annual fee after that. Club 33 Salon Noveau While Disneyland’s Club 33 has been in action since the days of Walt Disney, the Disney World locations are relatively new, having only opened in the last year or two. You can see why many of us have yet to ring that exclusive doorbell, be escorted to our exclusive dining room, and scarf down our exclusive dinner. Some of our team have been able to visit Club 33 in Disneyland and a few of the Disney World locations (there’s one in each park). Others are still waiting for their invitation! Check out the exterior of one of the Club 33s in Disney World! Victoria and Albert’s Restaurant Victoria and Albert’s is one of the most exclusive dining experiences in Florida. It has a AAA five-diamond rating and won seemingly endless awards. Here, you will dine on personalized menus and be served by two dedicated servers. You also have the option to book a seat at the Chef’s Table where you and 7 other guests will dine alongside the bustling kitchen as chefs prepare your meal with some of the finest ingredients. Victoria and Albert’s Main Dining Room To keep things intimate, the restaurant has very limited seated and is very difficult to get a reservation. Those tables disappear within moments every morning. (Victoria & Albert’s isn’t currently open, but when they do, we suggest logging on at 7:00AM EST sharp when your reservation window opens up.) Chef Cooking at Victoria and Albert’s The stellar service, private setting, and incredible food naturally comes with a hefty price tag. The 8-10 courses start at $235. From there, you might add the wine pairing for $150 and additional enhancements. DFB has reviewed Victoria and Albert’s a number of times, but many of us have yet to splurge on this incredible (and spendy) dining experience. Check out our most recent experience at Victoria and Albert’s! Cinderella Castle Suite Another not-so-hidden secret is that there is a full suite located inside Cinderella Castle at the Magic Kingdom. The room was converted into a suite during a Year of Million Dreams Promotion that chose lucky families to stay overnight in the castle each day. Outside of the promotion, only a handful of famous celebrities have had the privilege to stay in the suite. It’s also been up for charity auction in the past. We’ll have to wish upon a star for Disney to bring back another contest! ©Disney The suite has been opened for various events and private tours for guests to take a look at the room. A few of our lucky team members have been able to step inside and see the room firsthand. Right now, it’s almost impossible to see the hidden gem. Your best bet is to shell out the $12,000 for a Private VIP Tour. Or, eat inside the castle at Cinderella’s Royal Table and call it a day. VIP Private Tours Speaking of private tours! Many of us haven’t had a chance to experience what it’s like to be whisked away by a private guide at Disney World. When available, the VIP Private Tours includes two personal Guest Service Cast Members. The guides take you to the front of ride lines, provide you with fine dining, and give you the all-star treatment. Taste of Magic Kingdom Park VIP Food Tour Lanyard The starting price begins at $425, but this base cost can fluctuate during the time of year. Disney recently raised the peak price to $750 an hour. (We’re wondering if that comes with your own personal jet pack and a chance to meet Walt Disney cryogenically frozen? We kid, we kid! ) Most of the team hasn’t saved enough Disney dollars to have a private tour. Many more of us have partaken in the smaller VIP Tours tours like Keys to the Kingdom or the Starlight Safari in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. Click here to learn more about our experience at a VIP Tour here! On top of all this, there are a lot of special events that require you to be in the right place at the right time. Many of our team members haven’t thrown the first pitch at Casey’s Corner, had the Main Street Mayor or Fire Chief choose us as honorary Junior Mayor at the Plaza Restaurant, or pull the sword from the stone in front of the carousel. (Unfortunately, we won’t another chance at that one since Disney cut this experience led by the Royal Majesty Makers last year.) We also have a few that are highly disappointed they’ve never been chosen as the Rebel Spy on Star Tours – The Adventure Continues. Maybe someday, friends! But hey, we’re totally not complaining. There’s SO much to do at Disney World and it would take you forever to do it all. Besides, even if you decide to sit and eat popcorn on Main Street for 8 hours that’s totally fine!

Disneyland However, with ICU rates remaining low, this stay-at-home order could be extended, and recently California reported the highest single-day count of new COVID-19 cases in a U.S. state. And now, Orange County has officially hit a new record-number of cases. The OC Register has detailed that Orange County has reached an all-time daily high of 3,445 new cases of COVID-19 today according to reports from the Orange County Health Care Agency. There have also been 44 more hospitalizations, along with 26 new deaths in the county as well. ©OC Register The end of the stay-at-home order depends on ICU capacity, but according to Dr. Clayton Chau (Orange County Health Officer), Orange County could remain under this mandate for at least another month. ©OC Register However, the data is expected to continue to change, especially since California has started to receive vaccines (with more on the way). We’ll be sure to keep you updated on everything you need to know about new procedures and health information in California.

Disneyland Resort is full of so much Disney history, but did you know that Walt Disney has a secret apartment in the Disneyland Park? Disneyland Entrance It’s on Main Street above Disneyland’s firehouse — Walt had it built during Disneyland’s construction so that he could watch his dream come to life! And despite most of Disneyland remaining closed throughout the holiday season, Walt’s Apartment still got a holiday makeover this year. Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products Chairman Josh D’Amaro stopped by Disneyland to take a peek inside Walt’s Apartment and posted a photo to Instagram of the Christmas tree installed there by Disneyland Resort’s Enhancement team. He stated he had to share the memory as guests won’t have a chance to see it this year. @joshdamaro on Instagram “We always leave a light on for him,” D’Amaro wrote, referring to the light in the window that’s always lit in Walt’s honor. Right now only Downtown Disney and Disney California Adventure’s Buena Vista Street are open to guests, but because of the current stay-at-home order, retail outlets have limited capacity and food can only be purchased to go. @joshdamaro on Instagram We’ll continue to keep you updated on everything at Disneyland Resort, so stay tuned!

Happy Holidays! We’ve been eating SO many holiday snacks at Disney World! The Crystal Palace But we’ve also been at every recent restaurant reopening and kept an eye on menu updates! So here’s what’s happened with Disney restaurants this past week! Magic Kingdom Cinderella’s Royal Table We visited Cinderella’s Royal Table when it reopened back in September and enjoyed several entrees there, including chicken and tenderloin of beef (we had a choice of 4!). But now a new entree has been added to the menu — Braised Lamb Shank, which is served with Cannellini Bean Ragoût, Caramelized Pickled Shallots, and Herbed Panko Breadcrumbs. Braised Lamb Shank ©Disney If that sounds good, you can grab a reservation at Cinderella’s Royal Table to enjoy it. Both lunch and dinner are available now, priced at $62.00 per adult, and $37.00 per child (ages -9). For adults, the meal includes a choice of one appetizer, one entree, and one dessert. For kids, it includes a choice of one appetizer, one entree, two sides, and a dessert. Read more about the new menu item at Cinderella’s Royal Table Breakfast Several new breakfast options are coming to Magic Kingdom from December 20th through January 2nd (which makes sense because Magic Kingdom will open at 8AM). During that time, you’ll be able to get Donut Holes at Westward Ho and The Friar’s Nook. YUM. Westward Ho Those two locations, along with The Lunching Pad will also have an Egg & Bacon Croissant Breakfast Sandwich. Read more about the new breakfast options at Magic Kingdom The Crystal Palace The Crystal Palace has officially reopened! Things are a little different now, though — for starters, there aren’t any characters (this used to be a great place to meet Winnie the Pooh and friends). Also, there is no longer a self-service buffet. Instead, there’s a menu (which you access on your phone via a QR code) that is now offering a combo of Family Style and a la carte items for lunch and dinner. The Crystal Palace Reopening The Winnie The Pooh characters DO appear in the restaurant but as cute topiaries. We found the food, though, to be of higher quality than we expected. Read our FULL review from The Crystal Palace’s reopening Hollywood Studios Woody’s Lunch Box It seems that Disney is realizing that people need more breakfast options while in the parks, especially when places that once carried breakfast items, like Woody’s Lunch Box, have no longer been offering anything. But we discovered that some of Woody’s breakfast options have officially returned! Woody’s Lunch Box It’s only two items, but we’ll take it! The two returning breakfast items are the Breakfast Bowl ($8.79) and Kid’s Breakfast Bowl ($5.49). Both include potato barrels (tots), gravy, scrambled eggs, and green onions. The Kid’s bowl comes with an orange, potato barrels, and a drink. Breakfast Bowl However, a Cast Member told us that like in Magic Kingdom, these offerings might only be temporary through the holiday season. Read more about breakfast returning to Woody’s Lunch Box EPCOT Spice Road Table Spice Road Table at EPCOT’s Morocco Pavilion reopened this week! The Pavilion is being handed over to Disney completely for its day-to-day operations, and the restaurant had closed temporarily. But it did reopen with one change — the menu is now all Mediterranean Small Bites. Spice Road Table You’ll now find the following items on the menu: Hummus Fries with citrus chipotle and preserved lemon for $10 Pomegranate-Chili Crispy Cauliflower with Red Pepper Aleppo Sauce (Plant-based) for $10 Fried Calamari with Remoulade and Harissa Sauce for $12 Grilled Lamb Kefta with Tzatziki, Radish, and Cherry Tomato Confit for $12 Naan Spreads with Hummus, Chermoula, Marinated Olives, and Za’atar for $10 Spicy Shrimp with Chili, Garlic, and Peri Peri Sauce for $12 Tiropitakia which is a Cheese-filled Phyllo with a Cucumber-Tomato Relish for $9 Dolas which is Grape Leaves filled with Rice and Herbs, Marinated Olives, and Charred Lemon (Plant-based) for $9 Spiced Chicken with Ras el Hanout and Mint Yogurt for $11 Spice Road Table Sampler which includes Lamb Kefta, Tzatziki, Spiced Chicken, and Tiropitakia for $15 Dessert Platter with Assorted Moroccan Pastries for $9 Read our review of Spice Road Table’s new menu here Disney Springs YeSake YeSake added a new bun to its menu: a Pizza Bun! This is a Japanese-style bun with sausage marínala and cheese inside it. It’s inspired by a Japanese winter street food called “Pizza Man.” Pizza Bun The one we got, though, didn’t have any cheese inside, but we reviewed it anyway. You can try one for yourself for $6, hopefully WITH cheese. See more photos and our review of the Pizza Bun Disney Resorts Chef Mickey’s Although Chef Mickey’s at Disney’s Contemporary Resort reopened back in the summer, characters did not put in an appearance. Well, we are happy to report that characters have officially returned to Chef Mickey’s! We spotted Mickey… Chef Mickey Along with many of his friends, including Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto! So character dining has officially returned to Chef Mickey’s! See more photos of the characters at Chef Mickey’s this week Animal Kingdom Lodge The Mara at Animal Kingdom Lodge has been closed since the resort reopened. But we learned that it would reopen soon — but only temporarily. The Disney World website has hours listed for the location for breakfast from 7:30AM – 11:30 AM on December 23rd through January 2nd. Screenshot of The Mara page on Walt Disney World website So it seems that The Mara will reopen only for the holiday season, but it does give Disney World guests one more breakfast option on-property. Here’s more about The Mara’s reopening Those are all the dining location updates we have for this week — but stay tuned, because we’ll be back next week with even more!

Just barely a month ago, one of our fav snack spots in Disney World was roaring back to life and filling our hearts with grilled chicken and Simba Cupcakes! Harambe Market Simba Cupcake Well, things are about to change for Harambe Market, as the counter-service Animal Kingdom restaurant is going weekends-only right after the holidays! When Harambe Market first reopened in November, you better believe we were first in line for that Ribs & Chicken Bowl! As one of the best Disney restaurants for hearty, healthy-ish food, this is easily one of our go-to spots for a bite! Ribs & Chicken Bowl It’s the kind of food we could EASILY eat every day! Which could pose challenging after the holidays, when Harambe Market scales back its hours. Harambe Market Reopening Starting January 4th, the restaurant will be open WEEKENDS ONLY from 11AM-3PM. Harambe Market Reopening While we’re relieved that it’s not closing entirely, of course, this just means we’ll have to be a bit more strategic about not visiting Animal Kingdom on a weekday when we happen to have an out-of-control craving for ribs.

As the days go by and restaurants throughout Disney World continue to reopen, we’re still hoping for a return from one of our favorite dining spots in EPCOT! Japan Pavilion Tokyo Dining has remained closed in World Showcase (aside from a limited few days in November), but with continued menu tweaks, we’re anxious that this MIGHT be a sign that a reopening is around the corner! We’ve long been fans of Tokyo Dining, ESPECIALLY this time of year when warm miso soup really soothes the soul! So naturally, we’ve had a hankering! Inside Tokyo Dining Although it’s still temporarily closed, the restaurant continues to make edits by honing in on a few key items and streamlining the menu! A sign that they’re preparing to reopen and serve a limited menu for limited customers? Here’s hoping! Outside Sign When we last peeked, Tokyo Dining had done away with its ramen entirely, along with Bento Boxes and kids’ meals! Well, they’re at it again, this time taking DESSERT off the menu! Ginger Mousse Cake Previously, we noticed they had added a Mango Mousse, Chocolate Tofu Mousse, and Matcha Tiramisu, ALL of which have seemingly been nixed! Guess we’ll just have to mosey around World Showcase to get our sweets fix! With dessert off the menu (a painful phrase to type…), this leaves the restaurant to focus more on its fresh fish, which they’re CLEARLY prioritizing! Sushi For both lunch and dinner appetizers, they’ve amped up the Salmon Poke Bowl ($16) by adding cubed tuna to the mix, while the Sashimi section features a NEW Seared Salmon option ($15), with thinly sliced and flamed fish served with Ponzu sauce, fried garlic chips, marinated green onions, and cucumbers! Fresh Sashimi Sampler Meanwhile, the popular Bluefin Tuna Sashimi has seen a price increase from $15 to $16! Fresh Sashimi Sampler For lunch and dinner Sushi Rolls, the kitchen is tinkering with new flavors and ingredients, like marinating tuna and salmon in soy sauce for the Spicy Crunchy Roll ($13), and finishing it with tempura crunch! Firecracker Roll With the Volcano Roll ($18), it’s OUT with the scallops and shrimp and IN with the tuna, salmon, and smelt roe! Chop Sticks Then there’s the addition of another roll: the Shrimp Tempura Roll ($15)! This crunchy inside-out roll features eight pieces of shrimp, served with Kampyo, which is a dried Japanese gourd! Place Setting Oh and that Miso Soup we’ve been craving? It got a makeover on both the lunch and dinner menus, with the addition of green onion and bonito miso broth, along with tofu and wakame ($4)! Miso Soup at Tokyo Dining in Epcot As sushi fans, we’re PSYCHED to see these changes! While we’re sad to see dessert go, that just means more room for salmon! Stay tuned for more menu news and a (hopeful) reopening from Tokyo Dining! While in the Japan Pavilion, stock up on whimsical skincare masks!

There’s quite a bit of construction happening in Disney World right now! Disney World Gateway And that includes several projects in Magic Kingdom! From the completely drained Rivers of America to construction on the new TRON Lightcycle Run, things are moving right along ahead of the park’s 50th anniversary in 2021. One attraction that was also set to receive a mini-makeover was “it’s a small world” in Fantasyland. For the past few months, large construction walls and scrim have covered the outside of the attraction. And while the ride itself has still been operating during the construction, the giant walls definitely added a different look to this section of the park! “it’s a small world!” A few days ago, some of the scrim started to come down and the ride’s iconic sign became visible once again. It’s a Small World And now, the construction walls are all down and the ride’s facade is fully visible again! “it’s a small world” Even though the scrim covering the attraction received a multi-colored look, it still can’t hold a candle to the SUPER bright colors of the “it’s a small world” facade, so we’re glad to see it’s finally out from behind those walls! “it’s a small world” The fresh paint job includes a slightly different color scheme, and the newly applied colors are definitely brighter than before, although they will likely fade after some time in the intense Florida sun. Check out the “before” picture below for comparison! “it’s a small world” Before the Fresh Facade Paint! We’ll continue to check out progress on all the construction projects in the works around Disney World so stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for all of the latest updates!

We’ve seen merch from the Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction collection fly off the shelves this year, both virtually and in the parks! Main Attraction Collection Ears A new version of the ultra-popular Main Attraction collection merch, all themed after a different iconic Disney attraction, has been released each month in 2020. And it looks like a new monthly collection is in the works for 2021! Things are about to get WILD! According to a teaser post from the shopDisneyUK Instagram account, a new monthly collection inspired by Stitch is launching in January 2021! ©shopDisneyUK The caption of the post reads, “Say aloha to our new monthly collection inspired by Stitch, launching in January 2021! Keep an eye on our social channels for more detail in the New Year!” Stitch So, what could the “Stitch Crashes Disney” collection actually look like?? While Disney hasn’t released specifics yet, they have popped the mischievous Experiment 626 into other Disney classics in the past! In the lead-up to the premiere of Lilo & Stitch in 2002, teaser trailers were released which inserted Stitch into other Disney films like Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King. ©Disney And of course, when Stitch’s Great Escape debuted in Magic Kingdom in 2004, Cinderella Castle received the “Stitch is King!” makeover for one day only, including some serious TP and graffiti! Stitch’s Cinderella Castle “Makeover” Maybe the new “Stitch Crashes Disney” collection will take a similar approach, with Stitch finding himself among other Disney classics! Stitch Resting After Vandalizing Cinderella Castle While shopDisney has not yet announced the collection in the United States, we have seen shopDisney UK make announcements ahead of their US counterpart in the past. So it’s possible Stitch could be heading to the US next year too, even though it hasn’t been officially confirmed yet! We’ll continue to keep an eye out for further updates on the new “Stitch Crashes Disney” collection, so stay tuned! TONS of 2021 Disney Merchandise Just Arrived Online!

Many of our go-to Disney World tips and tricks look a little bit different right now. Although it may be a while before we can use some of them again, we still think every Disney-goer should know them. There are so many hacks to make your Disney trip a little more seamless, a little less hectic, and a whole lot more magical. Walt Disney World Resort entrance We’re here to share 26 of our tried and true tips! And for those that don’t totally work right now, don’t worry — we’ve got you covered for those, too! Trip Planning and Packing Typically, a LOT of planning can go into a Disney World trip. The excitement often begins as soon as you book your vacation (for many guests, often a YEAR out!), and there are a lot of things you can do to make your visit better before you’ve even left! Choosing Dates For Your Trip Let’s start off with some of the tricky decisions you have to make when planning your Disney trip. Different times of the year offer various special events (think Halloween or Christmas and the EPCOT Festivals). If there’s an event that’s a must-do for you, then you’re going to want to research those dates and book your trip for that time of year. Toy Soldiers in Magic Kingdom If you’re flexible with your time, then you have the ability to choose one of the “slower” times of year to visit. Slow is a relative term in Disney World. It’s always busy, but we’re talking about the difference between a 15-minute wait for it’s a small world and an hour wait! Timing is everything. The least crowded months typically include January and February (apart from Presidents’ Day Weekend and Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend. More on that below!), September, and October (the farther away from Halloween, the better). Watch out for any 3-day weekends or special events in Disney World though! Those are typically much more crowded and some of them can sneak up on you if you’re not careful! We broke down ALL the events in a Disney World year here! December Crowds Even with a reduced capacity right now, we still are noticing higher crowds during the holiday season, so be mindful of when you visit and you can save yourself added stress from crowds, if possible. Check out our month-by-month breakdown of EVERYTHING that happens in Disney World Packing Something that will help you at the beginning of your park day — and throughout the day too — is a good park bag! Security lines can get long, and you can make that process easier with a bag that doesn’t have too many pockets and compartments. This will streamline the process and save time during the day so you’re not searching every last pocket for your chapstick. A waterproof material helps as well. We’ve sat our bags in puddles or gotten them soaked in a storm enough to know this is a lifesaver! Hollywood Studios Security If you’re looking to save a little extra cash (and honestly, aren’t we all?) do your best to remember packing those things that Disney will try to sell to you when you need them the most — that’s right, we’re talking umbrellas and ponchos. Mickey Mouse Rainbow Umbrellas If you feel like we sound like a broken record telling you to bring a poncho from home it’s for good reason — this is one of the EASIEST ways guests can save a surprising amount of cash! Disney upsells these pieces of plastic for around $12! Florida is infamous for its almost daily, torrential downpours, especially during the summer. Disney will whip out those umbrellas and ponchos the minute water falls from the sky just about everywhere you look! But if you remember to pack them, you’ll be saving yourself loads of money. Rain Poncho Plan ahead and stay dry! Other essentials that you’ll find at Disney you’ll regret not bringing from home include sunscreen, water bottles, a way to cool off, and many more. Don’t fall victim to the last minute upcharged convenience items. Check out 8 gadgets you NEED for your Disney hotel room! Shopping Ship to Your Resort Many people don’t know that you can actually have your purchases from Disney sent to your resort! Unfortunately, this service isn’t being offered right now; but typically, as long as you won’t be checking out within the next two days, your items can be sent to your resort. You can also have your purchases held at the front of the park while you go about your day and pick them up on your way out! BouTiki Earlier this year after the parks reopened, Disney was testing out certain merchandise holding procedures to pick up your purchases at a designated store. Select stores are currently trying out a new mobile checkout system, as well, to make your shopping experience easier. Learn more about the NEW mobile checkout system! When in Doubt, Head to the Check Out Items in Disney can sell out really quickly, especially when they’re limited or new. If you see something you think you want, we recommend getting it then and there. Check Out Certain merch can only be found at designated locations. For example, it’ll be pretty tricky to find any Avatar merchandise outside of Pandora or Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and certain Haunted Mansion merch will ONLY be sold at Memento Mori in Magic Kingdom. When in doubt, it’s best to purchase something and then return it, rather than find out on the last day of your trip that it’s no longer available. Dining Lots of dining locations in Disney World have gradually begun to welcome guests since Disney’s reopening in July. However, you’ll always want to check which restaurants are open, what their reservation procedures are, and what type of menu they’re offering before booking. Mobile Ordering Disney introduced mobile ordering in 2017, and what once was a convenient option has now become a way of life! Right now, most quick service locations will strongly suggest that guests use Mobile Ordering. (By strongly suggest, we mean borderline mandatory unless you’re paying with cash or need assistance!) This alleviates long lines and makes your ordering process much simpler and quicker. Mobile Ordering at Contempo Cafe Prior to the park closures, this was one of our BIGGEST tips! Nowadays, be sure you’re familiar with how to use Mobile Order BEFORE you hit the parks. Ensure you have a credit card tied to your My Disney Experience account and you’ll be a Mobile Order pro in no time. See step-by-step instructions for Mobile Ordering here! Character Meals Character Meals can be kind of hard to come across right now, and those that ARE still taking place are happening quite differently. Under normal circumstances, we would recommend that if a character meal is a top priority for you, eating breakfast rather than lunch and dinner, which can be pricier. Mickey and Pluto at Garden Grill Restaurant Right now, you can still get your fill of character meals at spots like Garden Grill in EPCOT, Topolino’s Terrace at the Riviera Resort, and Hollywood and Vine in Hollywood Studios. The newest addition to this lineup, the return of character breakfast to Chef Mickey’s at the Contemporary Resort, began on December 16th! Whichever character meal you choose, note that you probably won’t see characters for too long, and you can’t get autographs, hugs, or take any up close and personal photos. We tried Character Dining in a reopened Disney World! Portion Planning There are lots of snacks at Disney World that are large enough for two people to share. Kids’ meals are a great option because you’ll still typically get a decently sized portion for a much lower price. Kids’ Meal If you have two adults that aren’t ravenous, you can likely get by splitting an adult-sized entree. These are usually far larger than your average meal you’d find back home, so you can stretch those dollars even further. Check out 15 Huge and Shareable Disney World snacks! Knowing the Best Seat in the House Many Disney World restaurants have super interesting things to see while you chow down. However, it does matter WHERE in the restaurant you sit if you want the best views! For instance, Sanaa at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Kidani Village has an incredible savanna view. You can watch animals roam inches from your table while you eat…if you remember to request a table by the windows! Animal View If you head over to San Angel Inn in the Mexico Pavilion at EPCOT, you can request a table on the waterfront and watch the Gran Fiesta Tour float by while you dine. Or, just across the walkway at La Hacienda de San Angel, you can request a table by the windows to have prime fireworks views in the evening once they return. Be sure to do your research and let your seater know exactly where you want to sit upon checking in for your reservation. They’ll do their best to accommodate you. Here are all the best (and some of the worst) tables in Disney World! Attractions Wait Times When you check the wait time for an attraction on your My Disney Experience App, or at the ride itself, the posted time is often longer than the actual amount of time you’ll wait in line. Splash Mountain Wait Time These trends do tend to fluctuate, but if you’re feeling discouraged about the wait time of a ride, more often than not your wait will actually be shorter than what’s posted! Here are some of the wait time differences we’ve noticed! Rider Switch Rider Switch is a great option for people traveling with little kids. This service is still happening right now in reopened Disney World! Rider Switch allows one or more guests to wait in line for the attraction, while someone waits outside with the guest not riding the attraction. Alternative Access Line A Cast Member will scan your MagicBands, and after the first riders exit the ride, the second rider will, well, swap with them and enter through a much shorter line than the full standby line! This saves you some time by preventing you from having to wait in line twice! Learn more about Rider Switch after the parks’ reopening Knowing Which Seats are the Best Similar to knowing which table is best at a Disney World restaurant, your ride experience can also be affected by where you’re situated on the ride. Soarin’ This attraction will have you gliding across the sky, but sometimes things can look a little…warped. Depending on the row you’re in and your location on each row, your view of the screen might be kind of wonky! Plus, maybe you don’t want to see a bunch of dangling feet in front of you! Soarin’ Around the World For this attraction, ask for the center of the first row. In the boarding groups, this is typically the B1 section you’d preload into. Your view will be centered (meaning no curved, distorted Eiffel Tower) and you won’t have to worry about any feet blocking your view of the world. Splash Mountain While you can get pretty wet in any row on your Splash Mountain boat, one thing we can practically guarantee is that you’re more likely to get wet sitting on the right side of the boat in comparison to the left side…and it’s not because of that big drop. Splash Mountain Near the end of the ride, after that big ol’ drop, your boat will pass what you may think is a tiny, seemingly harmless waterfall — wrong. Boats often back up to this spot as ones farther up at the exit unload. This means you could be parked here for a minute or so. This waterfall will definitely splash on that right side of the boat and often get you far wetter than that drop ever did! Maybe trick your friend into sitting there if you don’t want to get as wet. Learn more about the re-theming of Splash Mountain! Rise of the Resistance This extremely popular attraction actually offers TWO different experiences depending on which transport vehicle you’re sorted into, once you get to the trackless portion of the ride. Rise of the Resistance You’ll encounter some different things (no spoilers here) depending on which ride vehicle you’re in, but regardless you’re still in for an incredible experience! Learn more about the differences between ride vehicles here! Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run This is another Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge attraction where your experience is dependent on your position on the ride. In this case, you’ll be assigned to the position of either pilot, engineer, or gunner. Ride Assignment Pilot is definitely the most hands-on role as you get to navigate the Millennium Falcon! Gunners will mostly just hit a lot of buttons but at least feel like they’re contributing. Poor Engineers sit in the back and just mash buttons hoping for the best . Kilimanjaro Safaris The expansive views of the savanna are definitely immersive on this real-life safari tour in Animal Kingdom, but we think one side of the safari vehicle has a teeny advantage over the other. The left side will get you closer to the majority of the animals, like the crocodiles, hippos, and the African wild dogs. While the right side might give you a better view of the giraffes. Rhinos Unless giraffes are your absolute only priority, try sliding down towards the left of your row (meaning be first to board when it’s your turn!). See photos of the adorable baby giraffes now in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Rollercoasters Generally speaking, any ride that incorporates a fast-moving, train-like ride vehicle like Expedition Everest, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster, the intensity of your ride will depend on where you’re seated. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad For a less intense ride, hop in the front! If you love thrills, aim for a seat in the back as you’ll get pulled along and whipped around a whole lot more! Check out our full list of ride hacks here! FastPass+ Now, FastPass+ is NOT currently available and it’s unclear when it will return. However, when it does — these are the tips you’re going to want to use to maximize your time in the parks. **Reminder that these tips are from pre-closure Dinsey World. If/when FastPasses are reintroduced, we’ll update with accurate info!** When You Can Start Booking Figure out when your window opens to select FastPasses for your vacation. If you’re staying at a Disney resort or one of Disney’s Good Neighbor Hotels, you can book them beginning 60 days before your trip. If you’re staying elsewhere off-site, you can book them 30 days before your trip. MagicBand reader in Walt Disney World When FastPass+ becomes available again, one park you’ll want to strategize FastPass picks is Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It’s got most of the newest attractions, including Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Slinky Dog Dash, and the ultra-popular Rise of the Resistance. If you’re able to secure that boarding group at 7AM, you’ll then be able to use your FastPasses while waiting for your boarding group to be called. It’s unclear if the boarding process will remain the same once FastPasses are back on the table for this ride. Rise wasn’t using FastPasses pre-closure and was instead relying on the virtual queue system we’ve seen in place before and after reopening (with modifications since introduced). It’s possible the current system that allows guests with Hollywood Studios Park Passes for that day to secure their boarding group at 7AM without being scanned into the park will remain in place. Here’s the Disney Park you should skip right now! Timing Your FastPasses Efficiently When you initially book your FastPasses, you’re allowed to select three for that day. Once you’ve used those three, you can then book more, one at a time, as available — YAY! ©Disney If you want to maximize your FastPass usage, you’re going to want to make those selections for earlier in your day, that way once you’ve finished them and the day continues on, you have more opportunities to make even more! Here’s what we know about reintroducing FastPass+ Fireworks Fireworks are also on the list of things that aren’t happening right now. Though we were pleasantly surprised to see some in the Magic Kingdom recently as part of the Christmas projections! Cinderella Castle When Happily Ever After does return, here are some unique spots to watch it from when in front of the castle and on Main Street, U.S.A. are just too crowded. Within Magic Kingdom, one place that offers a really different view is the Swiss Family Treehouse over in Adventureland. You won’t get to hear the soundtrack, but the elevated view will make your experience a little more unique than it would normally be on the ground. Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse A spot that will give you an opposite vantage point of this nighttime spectacular is over in Fantasyland. From behind Cinderella Castle, you’ll have a completely different view. It’ll feel like the fireworks are right on top of you! Cinderella Castle Although you won’t be able to see the castle projections, this is a really unique perspective! Monorail Resorts The beach at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort offers a good panorama to see the fireworks from a distance. Speakers at the resort pump in the show’s music so don’t worry — you’ll still be able to sing along. However, you won’t be able to really see the projections on the castle from this far away. The Beach at the Polynesian Another popular spot (for good reason) is California Grill and California Grill Lounge in Disney’s Contemporary Resort. This restaurant gives a sprawling view of the fireworks. You’ll be able to use the expansive viewing deck on the evening you dine at this location, regardless of your reservation time. Just save your receipt. View from California Grill These spots will let you enjoy the fireworks without tons of crowding and a just about perfect view! Check out our Top 10 Restaurants since Disney’s reopening! EPCOT Fireworks We’re patiently awaiting a date when EPCOT’s new fireworks show, Harmonious, will begin. But in preparation, here are the best restaurants around the World Showcase Lagoon to snag a seat to watch the show. Dining at Rose and Crown in the UK Pavilion will give you a stellar view if you request a patio table. You’ll have to guarantee your viewing by making an Advance Dining Reservation, which currently becomes available 60 days before the day you wish to reserve. Dining reservations are slightly different right now — you will need valid park admission and a Park Pass reservation for that park. Rose and Crown in the UK Pavilion La Hacienda de San Angel is another great spot to catch the show (and you remembered to request a window table from our earlier tip, didn’t you?!). Its expansive windows provide a clear view of the World Showcase Lagoon. We recommend grabbing reservations for this location as well! It’s quite popular when the fireworks are happening. La Hacienda de San Angel There are also a couple of spots like Yorkshire County Fish Shop in the UK and La Cantina de San Angel in Mexico that won’t necessarily give you the best view of the fireworks, but you won’t need to worry about making a dining reservation for these spots. Just grab a seat early! Outdoor Seating Another cool vantage point to see EPCOT’s fireworks from is Disney’s BoardWalk! You won’t see any of the lower to the ground spectacles that happen on the lagoon, but anything up in the sky is definitely fair game and really puts the scale of these nightly fireworks shows into perspective! Disney’s BoardWalk Grab a cupcake from BoardWalk Bakery and pick out a bench on the BoardWalk while you’re waiting to watch the show. Wondering when Disney may resume fireworks? Here’s what we know Parades Although we’re loving all the different character cavalcades that occur randomly throughout the day, we can’t wait to see Festival of Fantasy coming down Main Street once again. When this parade does come back, we think the best spot to watch it from is Frontierland. Festival of Fantasy It’s typically the least crowded there, and this is where the parade begins so you can see it and then move on with your day. See photos of the character cruises in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Acing Disney World in 2021 Masks and Hand Sanitizers These items are undoubtedly essentials right now. Pack a couple of comfortable masks for each day, in case one gets sweaty, wet, or you drop it. Mask chains that attach to the sides of your mask are also helpful because you won’t have to worry about where to put it when you take it off! Our DFB Store even has our own face masks featuring unique Disney designs! Get Your Own Disney Food Blog Face Masks! With plenty of fun designs to choose from, you’ll be ready for that Disney vacation in style! PLUS, $1 from each mask sold donated to No Kid Hungry! We have some really fun designs that are also available in matching pouches, leggings, and more! DFB face masks Keeping hand sanitizer in your bag is a MUST because you’ll always have it right there when you need it. Disney’s sanitizer can range from too watery to smelly to kind of…grainy. BYOHS (bring your own hand sani, obv.) and you’ll avoid any of the yuckier sanitizers and never be without. We love the kind that clip on our park bags. Hand sanitizer can also really dry out your hands, so pack some lotion, too! Check out our 5 uncommon mask tips here! Checking Park Times Frequently We’ve noticed that Disney makes changes to its park hours pretty often. That’s why, when reserving your park passes, you should check the park’s hours. Then check back closer to your trip. Then check back the day before you visit. Then check back that day. You get the point — they change often and unpredictably, so make sure to stay updated. We’re keeping track of ALL the Disney Park Hours! Modified Return of Park Hopper Beginning on January 1st, Park Hopping is returning to Disney World! You’ll need a park ticket with Park Hopping capabilities to be able to do this and still need to reserve park passes for the day for the park you wish to start your day in. You must visit your first reserved park of the day, and you can start hopping beginning at 2PM if there’s availability! Park Hopping Procedure Entrance to the parks while Park Hopping is still based on capacity limits, and you can’t get a boarding group at Hollywood Studios by hopping over there at 2PM, so keep that in mind! How will Park Hopping change your Disney trip? Find out here! Be Flexible Doing your research and being flexible during your trip will help it feel more relaxing. Being unable to plan FastPasses and character meet and greets into your day right now leaves a lot of wiggle room. Your favorite dining spots you had hoped to visit may not be open, and you may even have to wait in lines to enter some stores. Cinderella Castle Even before the closures, being flexible was a big key to success in Disney World. Things go wrong all the time — rides break down, it rains, or your bus never shows up on time. The new challenges are navigatable, but flexibility is key. Being flexible will help you to relax and enjoy — you’re in Disney World, after all!
