Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at EPCOT! France Pavilion And, we’ve got a look at crowds, construction, food, and entertainment! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in! EPCOT Food Update While we were hopping around the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays during our visit, we thought we would stop by the Waffles Booth for a quick treat… Waffle Booth …like the Gingerbread Waffle… Gingerbread Waffle served with Whipped Cream and Citrus Cranberry Sauce …and the Turkey and Waffle! Turkey and Waffle — Stuffing Waffle with Turkey, Gravy, and Cranberry These festive holiday treats look incredible! Take a full look at the Waffles Booth here! EPCOT Construction Update Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind We’ve gotten a whole lot of news about the Guardians of the Galaxy Coaster (and even a sneak peek from Baby Groot riding the attraction himself)! And, each time we see construction in the parks, we get more excited about the attraction’s big debut! Guardians of the Galaxy We noticed more and more wood paneling on the top of the building. Check out Groot riding the upcoming attraction Space 220 Speaking of construction, Space 220 is still moving forward with its construction as Disney gave a look inside the restaurant recently. Space 220 However, the sign is still covered for the restaurant near Mission: SPACE. Take a look at the upcoming Space 220 Harmonious Although we’ve had a bird’s eye view of the construction on Harmonious, we also spotted the barges being built in the World Showcase Lagoon. Harmonious Platform Signs have also been placed around the lagoon so guests can read about the daytime fountain and nighttime spectacular that will be coming soon! Harmonious Signage We can’t wait for the rest of the barges to make their way into the lagoon! Check out all the details on the Harmonious construction here! Italy Pavilion Over at the Italy Pavilion, we’ve been on the lookout for progress on the possible gelato cart. Italy Pavilion Although we can’t see any more building structure sticking out near the construction walls, we’ll have to continue checking back! Get more info on the Italy Pavilion gelato cart here Canada Pavilion The Canada Pavilion closed off the staircase to the uppermost part of the pavilion, and redirected guests to the ramp that was adjacent to it. Canada Pavilion We aren’t sure why the stairs are closed currently, but we’ll keep you updated if we find anything out! Check out the JAMMitors in the Canada Pavilion EPCOT Miscellaneous Update France Pavilion France might be getting a LOT of new things like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and returning spots like the re-opened Chefs de France. However, the perfume shops in the pavilion still haven’t opened to guests yet! France Pavilion The last time we were in the France Pavilion, we noticed that the Givenchy Perfume shop had a few Cast Members decorating the shop for Christmas. Perfume Shop Today, we also noticed that there was a Cast Member in the Guerlain shop. Perfume Shop Hopefully that means that the perfume shops will be opening soon in the France Pavilion! Sneak peek of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Morocco Pavilion Since Disney is taking control of the Morocco Pavilion, most of the spots in the area have closed during this time. Gifts of Morocco Reopened However, the Gifts of Morocco shop on the waterside of the pavilion is welcoming guests once again! Take a look at the details of Morocco’s gifts shops starting to re-open! Yet, the henna station and other parts of the pavilion were closed during our visit (even though Spice Road Table has opened to everyone today again)! Morocco Pavilion United Kingdom Pavilion We also noticed in the UK Pavilion that a super cute ECV was decorated like a VW Beetle as whoever owned it hopped around the park. ECV Talk about riding around World Showcase in style! Check out this Beatles and Queen merch in the UK Pavilion Norway Pavilion Since we can’t help but be excited that the characters are out and about in Disney World, we were glad to see that Elsa was out greeting guests at the Royal Somerhaus in the Norway Pavilion! Elsa With a smile and a heart full of magic, she is bound to make your day special! We’ve got a look at EPCOT’s holiday entertainment EPCOT Crowd Update The crowds were HOPPING in EPCOT today during our visit with a bunch of guests returning to Disney World to celebrate the holiday season. Crowds Disney recently increased its capacity to 35%, with Park Passes consistently selling out throughout the month of December (including Christmas and New Year’s)! Crowds However, we saw quite a few people in EPCOT as families, individuals, and others head back to the parks to watch the cavalcades, ride attractions, and explore the park! Crowds Compared to past years, the crowds are not bad, but the parks are busier than we’ve seen them since the reopening! Here’s a look at Disney World at capacity Well, that’s all for this What’s New at EPCOT! We’ll catch you next time for more food, entertainment, construction, and crowd updates!

We went a few months without Lunch Box Tarts and Totchos, but they’re back! Woody’s Lunch Box Woody’s Lunch Box reopened in November with some BIG menu changes, including the absence of a breakfast menu. But now, breakfast is back at this location in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Once upon a time there was a full breakfast menu, but now it consists of two items: the Breakfast Bowl and Kid’s Breakfast Bowl. Both menu items include potato barrels (tater tots), gravy, scrambled eggs, and green onions. The kids’ portion is smaller and is served with an orange, potato barrels, and a drink. ©Disney The bowls were part of the menu before the Disney World closures, but we are thrilled to see some breakfast back on the menu! The adult bowl is $8.79, and the kids’ bowl is $5.49. Breakfast Bowl A Cast Member said that they are serving breakfast, however it may be temporary through the end of the year for holiday crowds. We will keep checking on this and update you if anything changes, but we’re hoping breakfast is here to stay!

Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Magic Kingdom! Character Cavalcade And, we’ve got plenty of to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in! Magic Kingdom Food Update The next time you want to pick up food from spots like Westward Ho and Sleepy Hollow, Disney has put microphones and speakers on the plexiglass barriers. Microphone This will hopefully make ordering easier (which makes us want to have even more snacks). Check out the Sleepy Hollow Menu Changes Magic Kingdom Merchandise Update As you cuddle up during your next movie night, you can chill out with the new Up Pillow with little fuzzy pom pom balls for $34.99… Up Pillow …as well as the Up Blanket that features the cutest couple EVER with Carl and Ellie for $39.99! Carl and Ellie Blanket While you’re at the Emporium, you can also pick up the lovely Beauty and the Beast Blanket that is decorated with sheet music to “Be Our Guest,” Mrs. Potts… Beauty and the Beast Blanket …an embroidered “Be Our Guest”, and pink tassels! Beauty and the Beast Blanket This was also $39.99. Take a look at all the details on the new Beauty and the Beast and Up items here! Over at Uptown Jewelers, we got a sneak peek of the new Winnie the Pooh Dooney and Bourke Bags! The collection will officially debut on December 14th to guests with the original Winnie the Pooh cartoons. Winnie the Pooh Dooney and Bourke After its debut, guests can snag a crossbody… Winnie the Pooh Dooney and Bourke Crossbody …tote… Winnie the Pooh Dooney and Bourke Tote …satchel… Winnie the Pooh Dooney and Bourke Satchel …and wallet to carry around in Disney World! Winnie the Pooh Dooney and Bourke Wallet We adore the Dooney and Bourke Disney collections, and this one is just too cute to pass up! Get more details about the Winnie the Pooh Dooney & Bourke Collection Magic Kingdom Miscellaneous Update Masks and Ride Photos After Disney made the announcement that guests must wear their masks at all times during photos in the parks and even ride photos, the parks began to test a system where masks were photoshopped onto guests who weren’t wearing them properly. Pandora Face Masks While they were only being tested at Dinosaur in Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin in Magic Kingdom, a Cast Member confirmed to us that Disney will no longer be editing masks into attraction photos. Read about Disney no longer altering ride photos here! Peter Pan’s Flight Line We’ve REALLY been missing New England Clam Chowder and Lobster Rolls at Columbia Harbour House. So, when we saw the doors open, we were hyped to go inside for a possible surprise re-opening. But, the Peter Pan’s Flight queue was actually being redirected through the restaurant instead when we were in the Magic Kingdom! Peter Pan’s Flight Line Redirected Through Columbia Harbour House Disney World has continued to modify how its lines work in the parks with distancing measures, plexiglass barriers, and markers. Since Peter Pan’s Flight has a limited amount of space for guests wanting to travel to Neverland, the extended line had to be placed somewhere else. Peter Pan’s Flight Line Redirected Through Columbia Harbour House And, even though we weren’t able to order some of our favorite snacks from the Columbia Harbour House, it was still great to be back inside for the Peter Pan’s Flight queue! But, we hope that the actual restaurant will open to guests again soon (fingers crossed)! Check out the unique Peter Pan’s Flight queue that we spotted here! Ariel Distanced Meet & Greet Characters have been out and about in the Magic Kingdom recently in distanced spots around the parks. During our last visit to the Magic Kingdom, we saw Ariel in her gorgeous teal dress greeting fans at the Princess Fairytale Hall. Ariel She told us all about her life under the sea as we explained a few land customs that we do during the holiday season! Ariel We’ll take any kind of character interaction we can get! Check out Winnie the Pooh in his winter gear Main Street Mailboxes One of our favorite pastimes in the parks have been the postcards and letters that we’ve been able to send straight from Disney World back home. The mailboxes have been locked recently without the ability to send a written souvenir to ourselves and our loved ones. Letters for Santa However, it’s the end of an era because a Cast Member confirmed to us that the mailboxes are being taken away. Mailboxes Removed From Magic Kingdom While we’ve only seen them disappear so far in the Magic Kingdom, we’ll be sure to keep an eye on the mailboxes in the other parks too! Find out more details about the mailboxes being removed from the Magic Kingdom! Well, that’s all for this What’s New at Magic Kingdom!

The holidays are in full swing in Disney World, and we’re having a jolly good time! Cinderella Castle With the holidays comes holiday crowds, so we’re taking a look at the average wait times in ALL FOUR PARKS! Let’s dive in and see how the crowds at Disney World affected wait times! Magic Kingdom The longest wait in Magic Kingdom was for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train with an average wait of 65 minutes. This is only a few minutes less than last week. Interactive Elements Several other popular attractions had lengthier waits, just not over an hour like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad averaged 47 minutes, Space Mountain averaged 37 minutes, Jungle Cruise averaged 40 minutes, and Pirates of the Caribbean averaged 41 minutes. Jungle Cruise sign in Magic Kingdom With average waits of around half an hour, we have Prince Charming Regal Carrousel at 36 and “it’s a small world” at 34 minutes, Astro Orbiter, Peter Pan’s Flight, and Splash Mountain at 31 minutes, and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at 30 minutes. Last week Splash Mountain was much higher, but it has gone down significantly! Splash Mountain Wallpaper Mickey’s PhilharMagic (23 minutes), Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (23 minutes), Haunted Mansion (23 minutes), Barnstormer (19 minutes), and Under the Sea — Journey of the Little Mermaid (22 minutes) all had relatively short average wait times! Dumbo Sign Similarly, we saw short wait times at Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Magic Carpets of Aladdin, Carousel of Progress, and Mad Tea Party with 12 minutes, Tomorrowland Speedway with 13 minutes, and Country Bear Jamboree with 21 minutes. Carousel of Progress And, believe it or not, some attractions actually had a 0 minute average wait including Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse, Enchanted Tiki Room, and Hall of Presidents. The Enchanted Tiki Room Some wait times are spiking due to the crowds because of the peak in holiday travel, but Magic Kingdom is still much less crowded than it is in a usual year because of the capacity limitations. If you’re headed to the park right at opening soon, we recommend heading right to Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, or Frontierland to knock out Big Thunder Mountain! Click here to see the latest in Magic Kingdom EPCOT EPCOT still had two attractions with average waits at or above an hour, and we weren’t too surprised which ones they were. The LONGEST average wait in Disney World this week was 78 minutes for Frozen Ever After for the second week in a row. Test Track came in with a 60-minute average. Frozen Ever After Line Soarin’ at 38 minutes, Mission: SPACE at 28 minutes, and Spaceship Earth at 21 minutes all had fairly average wait times this week. Spaceship Earth On the shorter end of the spectrum in EPCOT, Journey into Imagination had a 16-minute average, Living with the Land had a 14-minute average, The Seas with Nemo and Friends had a 9-minute average, and Gran Fiesta Tour had an 10-minute wait. Living with the Land All of the films (Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival, Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along, Awesome Planet, Impressions de France, Reflections of China) and American Adventure all averaged a 0-minute wait. The American Adventure EPCOT does not have nearly as many attractions as some of the other theme parks, so the popular attractions tend to have pretty long waits. Plus, the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays is a big draw for the park, so there may be more crowds than usual for that. That also could be why we’re seeing the longest wait time in Disney World at Frozen Ever After. Click here to see the latest updates at EPCOT Disney’s Hollywood Studios Even though the time has gone down a good amount from last week, one of the longest waits in Disney World was over at Slinky Dog Dash with a 65-minute average. Reminder: Rise of the Resistance isn’t included since the virtual queue gets rid of traditional wait times. Slinky Dog Dash But Slinky Dog Dash is not the only attraction in this park with very long wait times. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway came in at 47 minutes, and Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and Tower of Terror came in at 51 minutes. Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Wallpaper The other attractions in Hollywood Studios had waits surrounding 20 minutes. Toy Story Mania, Alien Swirling Saucers, and Muppet*Vision 3D averaged 24 minutes, Star Tours — The Adventures Continue averaged 25 minutes, and Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy averaged 26 minutes. Alien Swirling Saucers Since Hollywood Studios is often one of the most popular parks in a reopened Disney World, reservations tend to fill up earlier than any of the other parks. This accounts for the slightly higher wait times on many of the attractions and the fact there are no low averages. Also, Hollywood Studios doesn’t have as many attractions as a park like Magic Kingdom, so rides tend to get congested. Check out the latest news in Disney’s Hollywood Studios Disney’s Animal Kingdom As usual, the Pandora — Land of Avatar attractions had the longest waits in Animal Kingdom with a 66-minute wait at Avatar Flight of Passage and a 55-minute wait at Na’vi River Journey. The latter’s average went up by 8 minutes since last week! Pandora Thrill rides at the park take the next highest category! Expedition Everest had an average of 31 minutes, DINOSAUR had an average of 33 minutes, and Kilimanjaro Safaris had an average of 27 minutes. Kilimanjaro Safaris Coming in with fairly low waits, Kali River Rapids averaged 12 minutes, and It’s Tough to Be a Bug averaged 20 minutes. Kali River Rapids The lowest wait was over in Dinoland U.S.A. at Triceratop Spin with a 6-minute average. Dinoland USA Animal Kingdom does not have too many attractions and Flight of Passage is still one of the most wildly popular attractions in Disney World, so it makes sense that it came in at over an hour. Still, it’s totally possible to ride EVERYTHING in Animal Kingdom in one day with these averages!

We’ve been keeping an eye on construction at the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve, the new addition at the Swan and Dolphin Resort! The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve The Swan Reserve will have over 300 guest rooms, a signature restaurant and bar, a health club, a pool, and more. It was previously announced that the new addition would be opening in summer 2021, but now we have a more specific idea of when the Swan Reserve will first welcome guests — and a preview of the rooms! We recently got a sneak peek at the view from the roof of the Swan Reserve. The guest rooms will feature floor-to-ceiling windows, so the awesome view from around the hotel is one of the advantages the Swan Reserve will offer! ©Disney And it looks like things are moving along with the construction of the new building because the Marriott website has now been updated to show that the Swan Reserve is set to open in July 2021. Screenshot from the Marriott website The website also includes a preview of the interior of the guest rooms at the hotel. Here’s a look at a room with two queen-size beds, with those floor-to-ceiling windows offering a view of Disney World property! ©Marriott Rooms with two queen beds are designed to comfortably sleep four or more guests. ©Marriott The Swan Reserve will also offer larger suites, which have a living room space for relaxing after a long day at the parks… ©Marriott …as well as a separate bedroom area complete with, of course, another floor-to-ceiling window! ©Marriott And if you want to really upgrade your stay, the Presidential Suite offers guests even more space to unwind! ©Marriott We’ll continue to keep an eye out for reservations to open for The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve as the projected July 2021 opening date gets closer, so stay tuned!

Hello, from Disney’s Yacht Club Resort! Ale & Compass sign We decided to try breakfast at the table-service location Ale & Compass on our recent trip to Disney World. This restaurant is known for coastal, New-England style cuisine. We haven’t been blown away by this location in the past so we wanted to see how breakfast was holding up. Atmosphere As you walk up to the front desk, you can see several health and safety measures in place. There is a plexiglass barrier at the check-in desk, as well as several signs with requirements for entering the restaurant. Mobile Dine Check-In is in use here, as it is at most other locations around Disney World. Simply scan the QR code near the entrance and from your phone you can check-in, specify any special needs, and wait to be texted when to head to the podium to be seated. Ale & Compass When we hear the name Ale and Compass, the first thing that comes to mind is glossy varnished woods and boat-related chotchkies but that is the opposite of what this space looks like! Ale & Compass has a simplistic yet beautiful atmosphere. With tall white ceilings, and blue and gray hues, the color scheme is quite calming. Ale & Compass We especially love the gastro-pub style light fixtures hanging from the ceiling and walls. Ale & Compass Certain areas of the dining room are full of light from the windows. The furniture gives the restaurant a minimalistic mood with sleek and dark booths and chairs. Yacht Club houses a convention center, so this hotel is often bustling with business men and women. This place feels like it is here to cater to that clientele. Ale & Compass One of our favorite aspects of the restaurant is the open kitchen, however it is currently closed. Usually, you can see chefs hard at work as they prepare the restaurant’s food. Ale & Compass Kitchen None of the tables have been removed from the dining room. To comply with physical distancing, many tables have signs stating that the table is not available. We have seen these at most of the reopened restaurants in Disney World. Ale & Compass Table Sign There are a couple of options when it comes to tables, with standard tables and booths available to guests. We happened to sit at this particular booth in the corner of the restaurant which was VERY nice. We love a good cozy booth! The tables are currently not set when you go to sit down like they were before the closures. When our party was seated, we were given individual sets of utensils in cloth napkins. Ale & Compass Table The atmosphere is nice, especially with the natural light, but it is not the most exciting restaurant on Disney property. For those looking for a simplistic or more business-like meal, you will enjoy the feel of this restaurant. This definitely doesn’t scream “DISNEY” everywhere you look like other locations might! Eats The menu was posted outside of the restaurant, or there was a QR code option to scan. Hard copy menus are available upon request, however they are not handed out automatically to avoid another point of contact. Ale & Compass Dinner Menu As for the breakfast menu, you’re looking at generic breakfast staples here. A breakfast platter, omelet, pancakes, waffles, etc. Breakfast Menu The kids’ menu offers simple, approachable breakfast options. Most kids should have an easy enough time finding something they’d like. Breakfast Menu We decided to start our meal with a cocktail. We ordered the Agua Fresca Libation for $12. This cocktail is made with Paul Cheneau Cava and Agua Fresca Strawberry and Hibiscus. Agua Fresca Libation This drink was light and bubbly! If you like bubbles but want a flavored sip a little more unique than a classic mimosa, this will fit the bill nicely. This drink was slightly sweet from the strawberry agua fresca, but not too much to handle. The red color matched with the strawberry topper is an Instagram photo waiting to happen. If you enjoy bubbly drinks with brunch, you’ll enjoy this drink! We certainly did! Agua Fresca Libation To get a little caffeine, we also ordered a cup of coffee for $3.79. The coffee itself was fairly generic, but was a nice pick-me-up. Our favorite part of ordering the coffee is the cute bottle the half and half came in! CUUUUTE. Coffee with Milk Before our food came out, we were given salt, pepper, and ketchup in individual containers. Salt and pepper shakers used to sit on the tables, but to create less points of contact, this is how seasoning and condiments are given to guests right now. Salt, Pepper, and Ketchup For our breakfast entree, we went classic and ordered the Eggs Benedict. This dish is made of poached eggs, slow-roasted barbecued pork loin, and roasted tomatoes. They’re served on a toasted English muffin with spiced herb hollandaise and breakfast potatoes. Eggs Benedict The thinly sliced pork loin was a fun and unique alternative to breakfast ham often used in this dish and was cooked very well. The creamy herbed hollandaise was decent. It was well prepared, but we didn’t get loads of herb flavor. Eggs Benedict The eggs were poached perfectly and were super runny, like they’re supposed to be. If you are a big fan of eggs, these will likely make you happy. We thought these were some of the best poached eggs we’ve had at a Disney breakfast! They had that satisfying pop when you break through the whites and the yolk oozes out! Eggs Benedict The potatoes were seasoned very well. They were a hearty counterpoint to the eggs, but they weren’t anything out of this world. They were your average breakfast potatoes. They weren’t something we’d turn down though! Eggs Benedict with Potatoes While we enjoyed the hollandaise, we wished it was spicier, so we asked for some Tabasco sauce. Our server brought back a baby Tabasco bottle, which we thought was adorable. When we added the Tabasco to the dish, we finally got the kick we were looking for. Then we could admire the cute itty bitty widdle bottle! Tabasco Sauce If you are not a spice fan, you will enjoy the dish as is. If you like things a bit spicier, the bit of Tabasco sauce really kicks it up a notch! Nosh or Not You should dine at Ale & Compass if… You are staying at Yacht Club Resort or a surrounding resort You want to get away from the crowds for a midday break. It’s quite quiet in here! You’re looking for a little less in-your-face Disney feeling at your meals You might want to skip Ale & Compass if… You want more unique flavors You are not staying near the Yacht Club Resort You have kids who want a more exciting atmosphere Overall Ale and Compass once again performs perfectly adequately but is by no means a destination restaurant. This feels like a restaurant put in a hotel to provide food for hotel guests (in this case, convention hotel guests). It’s trying it’s best, but the food is nothing remarkable. That said, the prices aren’t that bad. They’re in line with most casual table service spots in Disney World. You’d get a breakfast sandwich or plate of Mickey Waffles at many quick-service locations for about the same price as a plate of Eggs Benedict. Not terrible. If we were staying at Yacht Club, this would be a totally acceptable spot to stop for a meal going to or from the parks but otherwise, we can get eggs benny at LOADS of other Disney World breakfast spots, and the drink, while tasty, was two things poured in a champagne flute. Nothing earth-shaking. If you find yourself in the Yacht Club on an early morning and feeling a bit peckish, this will do, but a short walk in literally any direction will likely land you just as good or better results.

There are a LOT of rides in Disney World, and some of them get through WAY more folks than others. Expedition Everest With all the hubbub about capacities in a reopened Disney World and our constant interest in wait times, we’re wondering which Disney World attractions actually have the HIGHEST capacities — and maybe you are too! We’re looking at the top five highest capacity attractions in each Disney World park! Unless otherwise noted, the capacity figures we’re using are in how many people the ride can seat (MAXIMUM!) per hour according to TheParkDatabase. That means that these figures are estimated without taking any technical difficulties or slowdowns into account. Magic Kingdom The highest capacity ride in Magic Kingdom might surprise you, but it’s actually the Tomorrowland Transit Authority Peoplemover with 4,600 people per hour. In fact, this is the highest capacity ride in ALL of Disney World! We always wondered why this SUPER popular attraction usually has a pretty short wait; turns out, it’s just running LOTS of guests through! The Peoplemover Track above The Lunching Pad We have a tie for second place with Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean both boarding 3,200 people per hour. This is another case where you can often find relatively short waits for these very popular rides sometimes all thanks to how many guests can ride. Haunted Mansion The third highest capacity attraction in Disney World is Walt Disney World Railroad with a measure of 3,150 people per hour. These large real-life methods of transportation tend to be able to hold a LOT of people even though they don’t come by TOO too frequently (in fact, right now the Railroad is closed!). Plus the train cars are MUCH larger than your typical ride vehicle. Disney World Railroad At. 3,000 people per hour, “it’s a small world” takes fourth place for Magic Kingdom. That means that in a given day, more than 30,000 people can get that earworm of a song stuck in their heads. “it’s a small world” And finally, the fifth-highest capacity attraction in Magic Kingdom is Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, taking 2,400 people per hour through the WILDEST RIDE IN THE WILDERNESS! Big Thunder Mountain EPCOT Another surprising one comes in first for EPCOT too! Head on over to the Imagination Pavilion to ride the highest capacity ride in this park. Yup, it’s Journey Into Imagination with Figment at 2,570 people per hour! Imagination Pavilion As we saw with Haunted Mansion in Magic Kingdom, Omnimover attractions can definitely get a lot of guests in and out quickly. Maybe that’s why Spaceship Earth is coming in second with 2,400 people per hour! Spaceship Earth Traveling through the history of communication isn’t the only Omnimover in EPCOT either. At a capacity of 2,200 people per hour, The Seas with Nemo & Friends is the third-highest volume attraction in EPCOT. Those clamshells keep chuggin’ along all day long! The Seas With Nemo and Friends We’re actually spotting a bit of a trend here with boat rides too (but not all boat rides are made equal!). You won’t find Frozen Ever After on this list (those boats are relatively small compared to others on the list!), but Gran Fiesta Tour in the Mexico Pavilion sure can push guests through. It’s got a capacity of 1,660 people per hour! Gran Fiesta Tour Tied for the fifth-highest attraction in EPCOT are Mission: SPACE and Living with the Land at 1,600 people per hour. It’s certainly interesting how the EPCOT attractions with the highest wait times didn’t make the top five of capacity! Mission Space Disney’s Hollywood Studios The top capacity attraction in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway! We found this capacity figure ourselves. A Cast Member told us that there are 8 trains running at any given time, there are 32 seats per train, and the ride (including loading and unloading) comes in at about 6 minutes (so 10 loops per hour for each vehicle). That means the attraction can seat 2,560 people per hour! Keep in mind this is just our estimate and could be slightly higher or lower than the figure we landed on. Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Hollywood Studios has the lower end of capacity averages in Disney World which certainly could contribute to the high wait times in the park overall. Outside of Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, none of the rides breach the 2,000 people per hour mark. Star Tours — The Adventures Continue comes in second with 1,900 people per hour. Star Tours We’ve got a tie for third! Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster comes in at 1,800 people per hour and the LA Times estimates that Millennium Falcon Smugglers Run is the same. Both of these attractions are pretty popular and we do see lines get long but you can sometimes spot low waits too! Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster The Orange County Register estimates that the Disneyland Rise of the Resistance (the same design as Disney World’s!) has a capacity of about 1,700 people per hour. This puts it firmly in our fourth-highest capacity spot! Keep in mind this attraction is often plagued with frequent breakdowns and technical problems, so we suspect they frequently don’t hit their max capacity each day! Rise of the Resistance And the fifth-highest capacity attraction in Hollywood Studios is The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror with a capacity of 1,260 people per hour. That’s a lot of guests plummeting in an elevator! Tower of Terror Disney’s Animal Kingdom These highest capacity attractions just keep surprising us! Animal Kingdom’s winner is Kilimanjaro Safaris, taking 3,000 people per hour through the Harambe Wildlife Reserve. This BLOWS our minds considering this attraction takes over 20 minutes! Kilimanjaro Safaris Although you are in real cars on Kilimanjaro Safaris and as we saw with the Walt Disney World Railroad, real-life transportation can hold a LOT of people! The same is true on the Wildlife Express Train with a capacity of 2,500 people per hour. Wildlife Express Train The third-place capacity ride just might be the SCARIEST in Animal Kingdom — it’s DINOSAUR over in Dinoland U.S.A. Every hour, 2,400 people are sent back in time to contend with aggressive dinos and meteors! Let’s go get that dino! Dinosaur Boarding 2,050 people per hour, Expedition Everest has the fourth-highest capacity in Animal Kingdom. This one doesn’t surprise us too much since this mega-popular attraction often has wait times of 30 minutes or lower! Expedition Everest And our fifth-highest capacity attraction in Animal Kingdom is Na’vi River Journey with 1,920 people per hour. It’s another boat ride! Ah, to be one of those folks watching the shaman animatronic do her thang. Na’vi River Journey Wow! Some of these capacity numbers sure surprised us! It’s interesting to see how these figures have an effect on wait times too. Disney seems to have struck gold with their reliable Omnimovers and the larger boat rides don’t do too shabby either! Now to find out which rides have the WORST capacity so we can plan our day to knock those out! Keep up with DFB for more interesting Disney facts!

There’s no doubt that the holidays look a bit different this year in Disney World. Castle Projections With holiday cavalcades instead of parades, no New Year’s Eve fireworks, and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party cancelled, it can be easy to miss the past holidays at Disney. However, Disney has released a video of last year’s “Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks” for us to enjoy at home! This pre-recorded show will take you through the nighttime spectacular that was exclusive to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party! This celebration is presented by the new Disney+ movie, Godmothered.

Since reopening, shops at Disney Springs are doing things a lot differently to help with social distancing and new health and safety guidelines. World of Disney Entrance Sign Not only are masks required in all shops, and shops have limited capacity, but popular shop World of Disney can require guests to join a virtual line. Previously, guests had to check in with a Cast Member at World of Disney with their phone number to get added to a virtual list. Old Virtual Line Guests would then receive a text when a Cast Member was ready to assist them with directions on where to go. Old Virtual Line However, things were different today. Check-in was via a QR code: you scan the code and the following screen pops up on your phone where you enter how many people are in your party. It also tells you how many party members are ahead of you in line. After hitting “Continue,” you’re prompted to enter your name, phone number, and email. World of Disney Virtual Line After hitting “Continue” again, you’re asked to check and confirm the information you previously entered. It then tells you again how many parties are ahead of you. World of Disney Virtual Line Then you get a text message that you’re in the line! And you’ll get another text message when a Cast Member is available to assist you. Nifty! New Virtual Line Text Message We also noticed these signs all over Disney Springs. In the past, guests would have to go all the way to World of Disney to sign up for the virtual queue. Now, no matter where you are, just scan the QR code and you can sign in! Virtual Queue Sign This new upgrade certainly makes the process easier for Cast Members and frees them up to help guests in other ways. We approve! And if anything changes, we’ll let you know.

It’s getting pretty chilly as we head towards winter, even here at Disney World! Chilly day at the Magic Kingdom And we’ve started to see the parks respond by offering up hot beverages like hot cocoa and spiced cider, and we’ve seen a lot more sweatshirts in the shops! We’re also seeing a TON of new blankets turning up, but there was one that we couldn’t resist: it just begged us to be its guest! Check out this gorgeous Beauty and the Beast Blanket. It’s got Mrs. Potts and the sheet music to the song on it! And just look at how fuzzy and soft it looks. Beauty and the Beast Blanket But what really makes this blankie stand out is the embroidered “Be Our Guest” at the bottom and some beautiful pink tassels! It’s all about the details! Beauty and the Beast Blanket But we also spotted a blanket that made us stop everything we were doing and say “Awwwww.” We ADORE Carl and Ellie in Up! and now they’re on a blanket, and we can’t even — excuse us for a moment, we’re getting emotional. Carl and Ellie Blanket They’re just staring at the skies, all happy. SIGH. We discovered both of these awesome blankets at Emporium at Magic Kingdom for $39.99.

Hello, friends, from Disney’s Animal Kingdom! ROAR! Animal Kingdom We took some time to make our way around this WILD park to see what’s new since the last time we were here. So here are all the latest updates! Animal Kingdom Food Updates Anandapur Ice Cream Truck We discovered an ice cream hack at Anandapur Ice Cream Truck. One of the things we really wanted when we last tried the Peppermint Soft-Serve Ice Cream there was to swirl it with chocolate. Cast Members can’t swirl it — however, you can ask them for half peppermint and half chocolate in a cup and they’ll layer each flavor. SUCCESS! Peppermint and Chocolate Soft-Serve Ice Cream The combination of peppermint and chocolate is DELICIOUS. And we paid the same price as we paid for just the peppermint alone, $4.99. Food hacks, for the win! Here’s our review of the Peppermint Soft-Serve Ice Cream Joffrey’s Although there are several Joffrey’s locations throughout the park, the only one at Animal Kingdom with the holiday donuts was the one at the front gate. This includes the HUGE Candy Cane Donut we’ve already tried. It’s a donut with white vanilla icing and crushed bits of candy cane, plus a drizzle of red icing. SO MUCH fun, and YUMMY. Candy Cane Donut Several other holiday donuts were hanging out in the case with the big ‘ole Candy Cane one, too, including the Mint Chocolate Donut… Mint Chocolate Donut And a very festive Holiday Donut! Holiday Donut The donuts are all $4.99 each. Read our full review of the Candy Cane Donut Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates Discovery Trading Co. Who doesn’t love a sale? And now that it’s the end of 2020 (YAY!), we discovered a Last Chance Sale on Disney holiday items, but quantities are limited. Select holiday headwear, apparel, tabletop, plush, and toys are 30% off. Last Chance for sale items That includes the Gingerbread Mickey Baseball Caps and a few Holiday T-Shirts. Last Chance for sale items We spotted the Mickey and Minnie Disney Parks Food Loungefly Mini Backpack at Discovery Trading Co. We previously saw this one online and at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, too! Mickey and Minnie Disney Parks Food Loungefly mini backpack! The aqua bag is covered with a print of Disney Parks foods and snacks, like churros, Mickey pretzels, and Dole Whips. Obviously, WE LOVE IT. You can nab it for $75. See more photos of the Mickey and Minnie Disney Parks Food Loungefly Mini Backpack Island Mercantile Island Mercantile was actually open when the park opened! A Cast Member told us that from Monday through Thursday, the store opens at noon, and Friday through Sunday, if there are enough Cast Members, will open when the park does. Island Mercantile While there are other places to grab merchandise, it’s nice to have several options! Check out the three NEW Pandora Masks we found at Animal Kingdom Miscellaneous It’s been a little chilly recently in Florida, so we noticed that some cold weather merch was being put out around the park to prepare for chilly weather. Cold weather gear These blankets look pretty cozy, don’t they? Disney World’s Weather Will Be ALL OVER the Place This Week. Here’s What You Need to Know! Animal Kingdom Construction Updates Kali River Rapids Kali River Rapids will go under refurbishment in January, and we noticed that Disney seems to be getting ready for that.

The holidays are a magical time of year at Disney World which is why it’s a holiday destination for many! Magic Kingdom Disney World Park Passes for the holidays filled up a while ago, but Disney has continued to add more and more tickets as they have increased capacity. And now, tickets are filling up yet again for this holiday season. Yesterday, Disney added a bunch of Park Passes for December and January, but a couple of theme parks are already unavailable for those days. Theme Park Tickets Guests Based on the calendar, Christmas Day (December 25th) is full at Magic Kingdom. From December 28th- December 31st, Magic Kingdom is also completely full. ©Disney Besides January 1st, the rest of the month is wide open! However on New Year’s Day, both Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios are unavailable. ©Disney Even though Disney has already added availability for these dates, we could see more again soon. We’ll be sure to keep you updated if anything opens up again. Disney Resort Guests The calendar is exactly the same for Disney resort guests. Magic Kingdom is unavailable December 25th and December 28th to December 31st. Otherwise, passes are wide open! ©Disney Also like Theme Park Tickets Guests, Disney Resort Guests are not able to book Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios on January 1st. ©Disney Availability can change quickly though, so we recommend grabbing them quickly to be in the parks for the holidays. Annual Passholders Annual Passholders are not as booked as the other two ticket types. While tickets are filling up for next week (December 14th-December 17th and December 20th), everything is looking green. This is with the exception of Christmas Day where Magic Kingdom is booked. ©Disney And luckily New Year’s Day is still green for all parks! However, January 3rd and January 9th have some parks full. ©Disney All of this availability is subject to change and does change all of the time, so we will keep you updated as these park passes fluctuate around the holidays!

It’s literally our job to keep an eye on all the food at Disney World, so we like to make sure we keep up with any restaurant menu changes or updates! Vivoli il Gelato And although we’ve been busy eating our way around EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays, trying out cookies, sipping on hot toddies, and nomming on charcuterie boards, we’ve noticed a few restaurant menu changes and updates this week! EPCOT Spice Road Table Spice Road Table at the Morocco Pavilion closed on December 2nd just before the pavilion gets officially handed over to Disney. And Disney World’s schedule shows that it will reopen on December 13th, with an ENTIRELY NEW MENU. Mediterranean Small Plates is the only part of the menu remaining, but that has been expanded. Spice Road Table The Spice Road Table Sampler, Tiropitakia, Dolas, and more are joining the existing popular small plates like Hummus Fries and Spicy Shrimp. There’s even a Dessert Platter because you can’t end a meal without dessert! The restaurant is also no longer accepting reservations and is now only available to walk-up guests. Mediterranean Small Plates Menu Interestingly enough, in its early years, Spice Road Table was focused almost entirely on small plates, and that seems to be where it’s headed again.

We constantly keep an eye out for new menu items at restaurants throughout Disney World. YeSake Kiosk in Disney Springs Recently, we discovered a few new things at Disney Springs, including a whole new menu at Vivoli Il Gelato and the addition of cheesy bread (!!!) at Blaze Fast Fire’d Pizza! Well, another Disney Springs food location has added a new menu item, and it sounds AMAZING. YeSake just announced the addition of Pizza Buns! These are Japanese buns with sausage marínala and cheese inside them. They’re inspired by a Japanese winter street food called “Pizza Man.” Pizza Bun ©YeSake These are totally giving us Pandora Cheeseburger Pod vibes, but with pizza! We’ll have to try these out the next time we’re over in Disney Springs (we wonder how this would pair with a Holiday Boba Tea?). And when we do, we’ll be sure to let you know what we think!

Nowadays, we’ve grown accustomed to things changing at Disney World. In addition to TONS of additions and new construction, this frequently means nostalgic items (and clown slides…) are removed! Tron Lightcycle Run Construction At Magic Kingdom, the epicenter of Disney World nostalgia, we noticed some longtime fixtures have been removed from Main Street, U.S.A.! Call us old fashioned, but we’ll ALWAYS have a soft spot for mailing letters and sending postcards! Remember letters? Like email, but paper! Letters for Santa This is why we’ve always had an affection for the adorably old-timey mailboxes at Magic Kingdom! Not only were they beautiful (and SUPER Americana!), but once upon a time, you could literally use them to send letters! Magic Kingdom Welp, those days are sadly over, as we have confirmed with Cast Members that the mailboxes have officially been taken away! Mailboxes Removed From Magic Kingdom We knew the park’s mailing services were done, but the boxes were still there at least — they were just locked and kept around for decor. Maybe this day was inevitable, but it doesn’t make us any less wistful! Check out this fun fact about the mailbox at the Tower of Terror!

As with MANY parts of EPCOT, big changes are afoot in the World Showcase, and new updates are emerging seemingly on a daily basis! World Showcase This is especially true of the Morocco Pavilion! Although much of it is newly closed, the shops have JUST reopened! Just this week, many parts of the Morocco Pavilion shut down as Disney prepares to take over operations from its operating participants. Morocco Pavilion Gifts of Morocco, the shop where you can peruse snazzy outfits and kitchen goods, ALSO closed its colorful doors! Morocco Pavilion But just today, those same doors have reopened! Is your head spinning yet?! Gifts of Morocco Reopened Seeing as the shop is located in the front section of the pavilion, along the main pathway through World Showcase, it makes sense that the souk wouldn’t be closed for long!

Gifts of Morocco Reopened We’ll be sure to keep you posted on ALL the updates from the Morocco Pavilion in the coming weeks! Spice Road Table is reopening SOON with a new menu!

We’re back with this week’s Disney construction updates! Polynesian Resort Construction We’ve been in the parks and all around Disney World this week so we noticed a few changes to the ongoing construction! Let’s take a look at the projects going on at some of the resorts, parks, and Disney Springs! Magic Kingdom Train Station This week, we noticed some scrim in place on both sides of the Main Street Railroad Station that all guests can see when first entering the park. Scrims at the Train Station The scrim can be seen when facing the station from outside the park and when looking at it from Main Street. Scrims at the Train Station This is definitely a different type of greeting than we’re used to when entering the park. Scrims at the Train Station We noticed the brown scrim on the back of the train station last week, but the addition of the expansive scrim at the front of the station appeared a few days later. Scrims at the Train Station You definitely can’t miss this gigantic wall covering the train station. Scrims at the Train Station The train station has been closed for nearly two years, but we’re not sure what’s going on behind these walls right now. But, if we find out we’ll be sure to let you know! See more photos of the scrim at the Train Station here! Rivers of America Rivers of America is undergoing construction while Tom Sawyer Island and The Liberty Square Riverboat are being refurbished. Rivers of America Construction Refurbishment for these attractions is still on track to continue through February 28th. Rivers of America Construction As of this week, the river is still totally drained and some new track is being installed so the Riverboat will have a smoother ride. Rivers of America Construction Check out some of the new track that’s been installed along the freshly flattened riverbed. Rivers of America Construction We’ll be sure to share any updates about the refurbishment of these attractions! Find out what attractions are currently closed in Disney World TRON Lightcycle Run This upcoming TRON coaster is really coming together! We’ve been keeping a close eye on construction taking shape and it looks like the basic structure of the canopy is pretty much intact! TRON Lightcycle Run Construction September marked the beginning of this canopy’s installation and it looks seriously impressive (even though it’s still in progress)! TRON Lightcycle Run Construction We can’t wait to zip around on this track! Tron Lightcycle Run Construction Work certainly looks to be continuing here, with lots of scaffolding and machinery operating on site. We’re looking forward to more progress! Tron Lightcycle Run Construction We’ve noticed lots of continued progress to this attraction and we hope it’s still on track to open in October of 2021! Learn more about this futuristic attraction here! Fantasyland Railroad Station The Walt Disney World Railroad has been closed since 2018, in preparation for the construction of TRON Lightcycle Run. It appears that the track near the Fantasyland Station has been completely removed during this process. Fantasyland Train Station Hopefully, we’ll see this train back up and running once the TRON Coaster is completed! Fantasyland Train Station The Walt Disney World Railroad is a fun and relaxing way to get around Magic Kingdom, we’re looking forward to its eventual reopening! Check out what’s new in Magic Kingdom! EPCOT There are so many new and exciting things coming to EPCOT in the next year or so, but we didn’t notice too many updates this week. Walls up in Future World Here’s the new stuff that we did spot! Future World We tried to see any updates made to the new fountain that’s placed near the main entrance to the park. We could hear some water flowing, but it’s pretty hard to see right now. Fountain Construction The sneak peeks that we’ve seen of this fountain make us think it’ll be a stunning addition to the entrance of EPCOT, so we’re really looking forward to it’s reveal. See a sneak peek of this new fountain! Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind We’ve been loving all the early looks we’ve been getting into this attraction — Baby Groot even took a spin in one of the new ride vehicles. This week we noticed some wood paneling had been installed on the roof. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Construction This continued progress makes us hopeful that this attraction is still set to open in 2021. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Construction New wood paneling can be seen on the right side of the roof. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Construction With the new Guardians of the Galaxy holiday special coming to Disney+, we’re getting even more excited to see the Guardians IRL. Get a closer look at what’s coming to EPCOT! Space 220 We’re still awaiting news about the opening of this immersive, space-themed restaurant. We haven’t noticed much to be new over here, and the sign of this restaurant is still covered. Space 220 There’s a wall surrounding the area as well. Space 220 We’ll be sure to let you know as soon as we hear any news about this restaurant! Take a look inside Space 220! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Kilimanjaro Safaris Not much has changed at this new building on the safari since last week, but we’re really impressed with all its furnishings! New building on Kilimanjaro Safaris We’re waiting on finding out what the official purpose of this spot is, but that’s okay, we’re happy to check out the new baby giraffes in the meantime! Check out the updated queue video for Kilimanjaro Safaris! Disney Springs Everglazed Donuts and Cold Brew We’re very ready for the opening of this donut and coffee spot coming to Disney Springs. The small wall that once blocked this side of the building is now gone! We spotted some work being done when we passed by. Everglazed Donuts Construction Last week, we saw construction crews moving in and out of the shop and today we even got a little peek inside the doors!! You can see a counter set up inside! Everglazed Donuts Construction There’s still definitely work being done inside, but we were pumped to get this little sneak peek! Check out the HUGE Candy Cane Donut we tried in Disney! Gideon’s Bakehouse Yay!! We noticed some changes to the construction at Gideon’s Bakehouse, the future home of lots of delicious cookies. Check out the windows that have been installed. Gideon’s Bakehouse Construction We noticed that the door had been installed last week, and today we spotted someone working on it. Gideon’s Bakehouse Construction Its projected 2020 opening is becoming more and more questionable as the year gets closer to coming to an end. Check out some of the HUGE Cake Slices We Might Find at Gideon’s Bakehouse! M&M’s Store Following the delay of the new M&M’s Store opening at Disney Springs, it looks like progress is underway! The pegs on the side of this building are positioned in circle shapes…for M&M decor maybe? M&M’s Store Construction Not much looks too different at the moment! M&M’s Store Construction This sweet spot is expected to open in 2021! Here’s a look into the upcoming M&M’s Store! Disney World Resorts Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort This resort is undergoing extensive refurbishments, which will incorporate themes from Moana! Polynesian Construction We noticed more beams installed at the top of this building in comparison to when we checked on it last week. Polynesian Construction Here’s a side view of the crossbeams! Polynesian Construction This well-loved resort is going to feel even more tropical once these refurbishments are finished! Check out some of the new merch we spotted at the Polynesian Resort! General Construction Walt Disney World Entrance Sign The entrance sign is one of the many Disney World icons that’s had a makeover this year. This sign was decorated with some regal-looking gold flags! Entrance Sign Construction And Donald looks just about finished, too! The Mickey heads behind him have been painted, and the gold portions of the sign have been painted. Entrance Sign Construction It looks like they’re adding the finishing touches to these signs! See some of the step-by-step progress to this sign! It’s not news that there are LOTS of projects going on at Disney World right now, so surely we’ll be back next week with more updates! Stay tuned!
