With social distancing markers throughout Disney World these days, we’ve gotten used to waiting in weird lines that zig and zag ALL over the place… Rise of the Resistance Queue Redirected to Muppet Vision 3D Queue But one thing we NEVER expected was waiting INSIDE a temporarily closed Liberty Square restaurant in Magic Kingdom to ride Peter Pan! Typically, in years past, when we find ourselves inside Columbia Harbour House, it’s for Lobster Rolls or Lighthouse Sandwiches. Not…Peter Pan. Lighthouse Sandwich But in this topsy-turvy year, Disney World is FULL of surprises, and one way they’ve adapted to the times is by getting CREATIVE with ride lines! Peter Pan’s Flight Line Redirected Through Columbia Harbour House Walking in brought back all of our favorite memories with this place. It turns out our wait for Peter Pan turned into a stroll down Liberty Square memory lane…and suddenly we’re SUPER craving New England Clam Chowder! Peter Pan’s Flight Line Redirected Through Columbia Harbour House All in all, the wait for Peter Pan’s Flight was a breezy 25 minutes, but it was nice to spend some of those minutes in this unexpected restaurant! Learn about some of the secrets behind Disney’s ride technology for Peter Pan’s Flight! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox! Click here to Subscribe!

So, as you’ve probably noticed by now, Disney introduced a LOT of new movies and show titles this week. Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian in Solo: A Star Wars Story ©Disney We did notice a trend in some of those titles too. So, yes, Disney+ is set to revolutionize the way content synergizes across fictional worlds. But, did they really have to make a spin-off show of every movie in existence? Maybe that’s an exaggeration…but it’s gotta be close. Not gonna lie, we’re excited, but woooooow lots of spin-offs were announced. Here are all of the Disney+ spin-off shows that were announced at Disney’s investor day! Swiss Family Robinson When you think “spin-off material” your mind probably doesn’t immediately jump to any 60-year-old films, but Disney is nothing if not innovative. Swiss Family Treehouse Yup, there creating a spin-off show of Swiss Family Robinson, an old and beloved treasure. Click here to learn more about the Swiss Family Robinson show! Beauty and the Beast (working title) If you loved Josh Gad and Luke Evans in the Beauty and the Beast film, then you’re sure to LOVE them as they reprise their roles in this new prequel series. ©Disney The pair will experience exciting adventures and romances, set to an original soundtrack from Alan Menken!

Secret Invasion Moving on to the Marvel section, we’ll be seeing an MCU spin-off featuring Nick Fury (played by Samuel L.

We’ve been keeping a close eye on new developments amid the ongoing global health crisis. Face Mask Signage From new sanitation technology to additional testing facilities, we’ve seen a number of new measures implemented to combat COVID-19 outbreaks. Following recent indications that a vaccine could soon begin distribution, we now have another vaccine update. As reported by The New York Times, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has now authorized Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine for emergency use, clearing the way for millions of vulnerable people to begin receiving the vaccine within days. ©Ryan Remiorz/AP This makes the United States the sixth country to clear the vaccine, in addition to Britain, Bahrain, Canada, Saudi Arabia, and Mexico. Other authorizations, including by the European Union, are expected within weeks. The authorization will now require a coordinated effort between Pfizer, private shipping companies, state and local health officials, the military, hospitals, and pharmacy chains to get the first week’s batch of about three million doses to health care workers and nursing home residents as quickly as possible. Face Mask Sign in Seattle Airport Pfizer has a deal with the US government to supply 100 million doses of the vaccine by next March. Under this agreement, the vaccine will be free to the public. Every state has submitted a list of locations to the federal government — mostly hospitals — where the Pfizer vaccine is to ship initially. In Florida, the first recipients of the state’s initial 179,400 doses will be five hospitals in Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Hollywood. ©Fox10 News California Governor Gavin Newsom also provided an update on the initial number of doses the state will receive, saying 327,000 doses of the vaccine are currently en route to California. In late-stage clinical trials that enrolled nearly 44,000 participants, the Pfizer vaccine was found to be 95 percent effective. A similar vaccine, developed by Moderna, is also under review by the FDA and could soon be cleared for emergency use as well.

After Disney World’s reopening this summer, Disney has continued to clarify its health and safety guidelines, including its requirement that guests wear masks. Pandora Face Masks Since the initial announcement, Disney has updated its requirements to the kinds of masks that guests can wear at Disney World, as well as updated its announcements about facial coverings. In September, Disney World updated its overhead announcements to remind guests that masks must also stay on while taking photos, as well as made it clear that guests must also be masked during ride photos. Splash Mountain This caused some issues for guests because masks do occasionally slip down accidentally during rides, as well as cases where a child inadvertently removes a mask. So Disney began to test a system where it began to alter ride photos to place a digital mask on maskless riders in those photos. At the time, this was only being tested at Dinosaur in Animal Kingdom and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin in Magic Kingdom. Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin However, it seems that Disney is no longer altering ride photos. In an email to the Washington Post, a Disney spokesperson stated: “In response to guest requests, we tested modifying some ride photos. We are no longer doing this and continue to expect guests to wear face coverings except when actively eating or drinking while stationary.” Dinosaur We also confirmed this with a Cast Member — Disney will no longer alter ride photos. But if that changes, we’ll be sure to let you know. NEWS: CDC Recommends Wearing Masks Anywhere Indoors When Not at Home Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

This has been QUITE the week for Disney news! Magic Kingdom Just a few days ago, Disney held its Investor Day conference and shared TONS of movie and tv show news for things coming in 2021 and beyond. But, that’s not all. There have also been some major announcements that could impact your Disney Cruise Line and Disney World vacations next year, and today, we’re breaking it all down for you. While LOTS of important news has been released this week, today we’re focusing on the top 3 items that could impact your Disney plans for 2021 and beyond. Let’s dive in! 1. Disney+ Is Getting More Expensive During yesterday’s Investor Day, Disney announced that Disney+ prices would be increasing. Right now, a Disney+ subscription costs $6.99 a month or $69.99 per year. Starting on March 26, 2021, however, Disney+ subscription prices in the U.S. will be INCREASED by $1 to $7.99 per month or $79.99 per year. Disney Investor Day 2020 ©Disney The bundle with Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ will be priced at $13.99 per month. Disney executives had noted earlier this year that the price of Disney+ could go up in the future as content increases, and that content will DEFINITELY be increasing consider ALL the announcements Disney made recently. Disney+ Streaming Service ©Disney So, starting March of 2021, it’ll cost you a dollar more to watch your favorite shows, but in 2021 and beyond you’ll have LOTS more shows to watch from Disney animation, Star Wars, and Marvel, Pixar, and more! Click here to read more about the Disney+ price increase! 2. More Disney Cruise Line Sailings Have Been Canceled If you’re planning a Disney Cruise Line adventure in 2021, one recent change may have a big impact on your trip. Disney Cruise Line has already canceled all sailings through the end of February 2021, as have other cruise lines, but recently Disney updated their list of cruise cancellations again. The Disney Cruise Line website now says, “based on the conditional sail order provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Disney Cruise Line must cancel sailings longer than 7 nights.” Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Dream So, if you had a cruise planned for longer than 7 nights next year, that adventure will unfortunately not be going forward. According to the CDC’s Conditional Framework Order cruise ship operators may not “sail or offer to sail on an itinerary longer than 7 days.” This is a condition for obtaining and retaining a COVID-19 Conditional Sailing Certificate. Castaway Cay You can visit the Disney Cruise Line website to see a full list of all impacted sailings. It appears the furthest dates currently impacted are cruises scheduled for July of 2021. Castaway Cay The situation with cruise lines is constantly developing. Disney has admitted that the CDC’s thorough guidelines will delay their return to sailing more than they had hoped. We’re continuing to keep an eye out for more updates and will let you know as things continue to change in the future. Click here to read more about the Disney Cruise Line cancellation of select sailings longer than 7-nights. 3. Disney’s Multi-Day Ticket Policy Has Been Updated Finally, Disney has issued an update regarding its multi-day tickets and how that works with park capacity. Right now, in order to enter a Disney World theme park, you must have a valid park ticket and Park Pass reservation for the same day for the park you want to visit. But with some parks reaching capacity and Park Passes being unavailable on certain days, that could cause a complication if you try to buy a multi-day ticket and some of the days during the validity window are already booked up (in terms of Park Passes). Spaceship Earth Disney’s updated policy allows guests to “order multi-day theme park tickets, even in circumstances where Disney Park Pass reservations may no longer be available for select days during that guest’s validity window.” Guests will then be able to make Park Pass reservations on days within the ticket’s validity window if there’s availability, but won’t be able to make a reservation on that date if Park Passes are unavailable. Tree of Life Disney’s update gives the following example: You buy a 3-day Walt Disney World theme park base ticket (where the last day of the validity window is 4 days after the selected start date). You select a start date of March 1st, but there are no Disney Park Pass reservations available for March 3rd. Disney Park Pass reservations are, however, available for all of the other days during the validity window. You’ll be unable to visit the theme parks on March 3rd (as no Disney Park Passes are available for that date), but you may use your 3-day ticket to get a Disney Park Pass on 3 of the other 4 days within your validity window: March 1st, March 2nd, March 4th, and March 5th. Tower of Terror If there are too many days that are at-capacity during the potential validity window, however, multi-day tickets for that time will be unavailable. So, Disney is basically informing guests that they can book a multi-day ticket and make reservations as long as there are enough available Park Passes for the days within their validity window. This is something to keep in mind as we move into 2021 where park hopping will be reintroduced! It’s important for any future trip that you take into account Park Pass availability when buying your tickets, and most importantly book your Park Passes as soon as you are able to try to avoid any later issues entering the parks. Click here to read more about this update! And that’s our list of the top 3 items that may impact your 2021 Disney plans. But, of course, there’s so much more that’s been shared this week including a Ratatouille the Musical concert presentation(!!) which will be released on January 1, and sneak peeks at Disney and Pixar’s Soul! ©TikTok We’ll keep watching for more Disney news and bring you all the latest updates, so stay tuned for MUCH more great Disney stories!

During yesterday’s Investor Day presentation, Disney dropped a TON of information about upcoming film and television projects! Disney Investor Day ©Disney Among the upcoming projects, we can look forward to Walt Disney Animation Studio’s 60th film, Encanto, a Moana TV series, a live-action reimagining of Pinocchio, several new Star Wars TV series, and so much more! In fact, Disney announced that they have over 100 new titles in the works. And most of them will premiere directly to your living room! Don’t remember agreeing to host a Hollywood premiere party? No need to panic, Disney isn’t planning to roll out a red carpet leading to your front door! During yesterday’s Investor Day presentation, Disney’s CEO Bob Chapek revealed that of the 100+ new titles in the works, 80% of them will launch straight to their direct-to-consumer streaming services. ©Disney There are several driving factors behind the high percentage of new releases heading straight for streaming. First, let’s consider the types of projects that are in the works. ©Disney Chapek shared that of the 100+ titles announced, 63 of them are series and 42 of them are films. Since series typically head straight to television or streaming services rather than receiving a theatrical release, the direct-to-consumer approach for these projects is pretty standard. Loki ©Disney But, that does still mean that a relatively high percentage of upcoming films are expected to head directly to streaming. Chapek shared insight into the decision-making process when determining which films will receive a theatrical release, saying, “flexibility is going to be a big dynamic going forward.” ©Disney While the pandemic is one driving factor behind the decisions, Chapek also pointed to changing consumer behavior overall, which will continue to impact Disney’s release strategies even after the pandemic. Keeping streaming as a primary mode of releasing new titles gives Disney the flexibility to make decisions nimbly when determining which projects will receive a theatrical release. Pinocchio ©Disney The information shared indicates that Disney does plan to resume theatrical releases for some projects in the future. But by moving forward with the intention of increased direct-to-consumer releases, Disney has increased flexibility to make decisions actively based on the current environment.

For those who are both animal lovers AND Disney fans, there is plenty of great merchandise made just for you — especially if you adore dogs and cats! Dooney & Bourke Dog and Cat Tote Bags We’ve seen dog and cat towels, dog and cat handbags, MagicBands, and more! Today in Disney Springs, we noticed a new collection based on some of our Disney furry friends, and we think it’s pretty purr-iffic! When walking by Ever After Jewelry Co. & Accessories in Disney Springs today, we noticed this display through the window! Of course, we had to walk in and check it out, and what did we see? Loungefly display at Ever After Jewelry Co. It’s a new Disney Dog and Cat Loungefly collection! Each of the bags features 3 famous Disney dogs or cats, and we’re totally obsessed. The Disney Dogs Loungefly Backpack really makes us long for some puppy snuggles — how cute are these guys?! Disney Dogs Loungefly Backpack The back of the bag says “Life is a Walk in the Park,” which is just so precious! You can pick this bag up for $90. Disney Dogs Loungefly Backpack If you love the design but need something a little more compact, then you could always try the Disney Dogs Loungefly Wallet! Disney Dogs Loungefly Wallet The wallet is a bit more affordable at $50, and it’s got several pockets to keep your cards and cash organized. Disney Dogs Loungefly Wallet But if you’re more of a feline fan, then you could buy the Disney Cats Loungefly Backpack instead. This one is a similar design to the dog bag, but features famous Disney cats — like Minnie Mouse’s kitty, Figaro. Disney Cats Loungefly Backpack Like the other backpack, this one is $90. On the backside, it says “Meow-gical,” which is just an excellent pun! Disney Cats Loungefly Backpack There’s also a Disney Cats Loungefly Wallet for $50. Those kitties just look so sweet! Disney Cats Loungefly Wallet If you think these bags are purr-cious, then make sure to check them out in person at Ever After Jewelry Co. & Accessories in Disney Springs!

Animal Kingdom Attraction Update Kilimanjaro Safaris We’ve been keeping tabs on the mysterious building that was added to Kilimanjaro Safaris. No official announcement was made about the new building, but it’s in plain sight while riding the attraction. More atmospheric elements have been added to the area since our last visit and our Safari Guide referenced it during our tour this time! Mysterious Building! When we passed by this area, the Guide told us a story about bees and elephants and referenced the “beehive fence.” You can also see a sign that indicates that the area is a Warden Post. It’s still not totally clear what’s happening here. Is it a beehive fence? A Warden Post? We’ll keep you updated if we learn more about this curious building! Read more about the Beehive Fence right here! Discovery Trading Company We’ve seen the new National Geographic face masks online and now they have arrived at Animal Kingdom!

If you’re still shopping online for Christmas gifts, then it’s time to get a move on, because you’ve only got 2 weeks left! Discovery Trading Company Holiday Merchandise Sale And if you’re still struggling with what to give a loved one, then don’t fear, because we’ve got gift guides galore. We’ve got gift ideas under $20, ideas for bread lovers, a great list of toys, ideas for those who miss old-school EPCOT, and even a guide for those of our number who are HUGE DFB fans! If you make it through all of those and STILL haven’t found what you’re looking for, then keep reading, because today we’re sharing all the Disney merchandise that popped up online in the last 7 days! Tangled Merchandise First up this week was the highly anticipated, and very expensive, Limited-Edition Rapunzel Doll! She’s absolutely gorgeous, but she’ll cost you $129.99, likely because only 5500 were made. ©Disney Unfortunately, these sold out super fast. We totally get why though, I mean, look how stunning the detail is…that hair, those eyelashes, even the dress! Click Here to Read About the Rapunzel Doll! But the Rapunzel doll wasn’t the only piece of Tangled merchandise released this week — we also saw the drop of the Tangled Castle Collection on shopDisney! This collection included several items: a figurine, a Christmas ornament, a puzzle, a pin, AND a journal. Tangled Castle Collection Figurine ©shopDisney These items were based on the castle from Rapunzel’s home kingdom of Corona (which is a seriously ironic name nowadays, but that’s beside the point). We’ve been really loving this castle series, it’s really cool to see the homes of all our favorite princesses! Click Here to Look at the Whole Collection! EPCOT Attraction Posters We also noticed some brand new EPCOT attractions posters pop up online! We have previously seen posters based on a variety of past and current rides and attractions, and this week’s additions were just as cool. There was a Test Track poster, a Wonders of Life poster, a World of Motion poster, and a poster for the upcoming Play! Pavilion. ©Disney These would be a really fun and unique way to decorate a Disney-themed office or just a great collector’s item. The only design that’s not sold out is the Play! Pavilion, so if you’d like to purchase it for $90, head to the link below! Click Here to Buy the Play! Pavilion Poster! Christmas Ornaments The fan-favorite Disney Attractions Ornaments that we spotted in the Disney parks arrived online this week! The online collection included models of the Main Street Cinema, Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room, Disneyland’s holiday version of Haunted Mansion, Disney World’s Haunted Mansion, and Country Bear Jamboree. Tiki Room Ornament The Tower of Terror ornament later showed up online by itself. All together, they make a really lovely collection of some of Disney’s most iconic landmarks, and they would make great additions to a Disney-themed Christmas tree! Check Out Photos of the Whole Collection (And Shop Them) Here! Starbucks Mugs Another collection that arrived on shopDisney and sold out rapidly this week were these Disney Parks Starbucks Tumblers! Six mugs were released in all, each modeled after one of the 4 Walt Disney World and 2 Disneyland Resort theme parks. The only one of the collection that’s still in stock is the Disney California Adventure Tumbler. Disney California Adventure ceramic Starbucks tumbler The only remaining mug will cost you $24.99, and we encourage you to act fast before it sells out as well! Check Out the California Adventure Starbucks Mug HERE! New MagicBands Several new MagicBands landed online this week, the first being this Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse band! Walt and Mickey MagicBand One side features Walt sketching, while the other shows a drawing of Steamboat Willie. You can order it now for $29.99! Order the Walt and Mickey MagicBand Here! Two new MagicBands also got added to the preorder section of the website for Annual Passholders and Disney Resort guests. The first is this holiday MagicBand featuring a Mickey snowman! ©Disney The second is this fashionable Minnie Name MagicBand! ©Disney They’re both so cute it’s hard to choose between the two! Click Here to Read More About How to Get These Bands! Hilarious Star Wars Tees This week we spotted not one, but TWO hilarious Star Wars tees online. The first one is a kids’ shirt that showcases the infamous Death Star — except the superweapon looks like a delicious pizza! ©shopDisney We’ll say, the pizza design makes the Death Star look a LOT less intimidating and a lot more delicious. It’s only $21.99! Buy the Death Star Pizza Shirt Here! The other snack-related Star Wars shirt we noticed features, fan-favorite bounty hunter, Boba Fett’s helmet on a glass of boba tea. It’s a Boba Fett Boba Tea Shirt! ©BoxLunch We think this design is pretty refreshing, to say the least! This one’s on sale for $23.12! Click Here to Buy the Boba Fett Boba Shirt!

Then, later in the week, we spotted 10 new merch items inspired by The Mandalorian, including clothes, kitchen accessories, and collectible keys.

The first one is a pink ball cap with a cup of boba tea — and it’s got Mickey ears! ©BoxLunch We love the pastel combination of the pink and the purple. It’s perfect for a Spring day! Purchase the Mickey Boba Hat Here! If you like your treats on the frozen side, then check out this Minnie Mouse Popsicle Hat instead. It’s got a Mickey-shaped popsicle on a stick with sprinkles and a big Minnie Mouse bow! ©BoxLunch We especially love this sage green color on the hat — it’s different than what we’re used to seeing for hat colors and we’re pretty into it! Buy the Minnie Mouse Popsicle Hat Here! Musical Carousels For a more unique gift, definitely take a look at these musical figurines! We spotted two new ones on shopDisney, and the first one showcases a precious Winnie the Pooh and Piglet design. ©Disney You can order it for $169.99 and play “Winnie the Pooh” on repeat for all to hear! Check Out the Winnie the Pooh Musical Carousel Here! The other option is this Sorcerer Mickey Musical Carousel for $149.99.

Do you remember when we chatted with you about the GIGANTIC Boston Cream Pie Donut we tried at a Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea kiosk in EPCOT recently? Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea Kiosk at Animal Kingdom entrance Well, today we’re back to introduce you to its festive friend, the new Candy Cane Donut! We found this one at the Joffrey’s kiosk you’ll spot as you enter Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It was tucked right inside the case along with a Mint Chocolate Donut. Mint Chocolate Donut And HERE is the Candy Cane Donut… WOW! Is this thing ready for the holidays or what?! Candy Cane Donut You can’t go wrong with the terrific base to start, which is an incredibly soft — not to mention HUGE — donut from Joffrey’s. (Seriously, these things are ALWAYS super fresh.) Candy Cane Donut From there, it’s topped with white vanilla icing… although you’d barely know, what with the crushed bits of… oh, approximately a bajillion-and-one candy canes — plus a drizzle of red icing — on top! It’s fun, festive, and pretty to look at. Now, as far as the actual eating of it… Candy Cane Donut Well, it IS a bit messy with all the toppings. And, because it’s so fresh, you can see how your grip sinks right into the donut! Candy Cane Donut But it’s also delicious. Perhaps this goes without saying once you’ve spied all that candy cane, but we’ll still let you know that this one is for the peppermint lovers out there, for sure. Candy Cane Donut And remember, there’s also that Mint Chocolate Donut available if you enjoy that flavor combo, but without the candy crunch. Not into mint? Then grab a regular vanilla glazed, which — for the time being — has a little festive flair of its own with some red and green sprinkles. Holiday Donut Like the Candy Cane Donut, these are $4.99 each. No matter which you prefer, you’re never too far from one of these tasty treats. After all, there’s at least one Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea kiosk in every Disney World park and many spots beyond! Want MORE festive snacks?
