If you’re looking for some delicious vegan baked goods, then head on over to Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC in Disney Springs! Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC This bakery specializes in vegan and allergy-friendly treats, so if you’re on a special diet, you may want to make a stop here for some sweet stuff! We’ve tried some over-the-top treats here, as well as some strangely decorated holiday snacks, and they never cease to amaze us with their creativity. And, on our visit today, we noticed something new! We stopped by here today on our visit to Disney Springs, and we found an adorable new snack — this vegan Dreidel Cookie! Dreidel Cookie The cookie is here to celebrate Hanukkah, which began last night and ends on December 18th. Dreidel Cookie We picked one up for $4. It’s a pretty basic treat — sugar cookie with vanilla frosting, decorated to look like a dreidel. Dreidel Cookie It doesn’t look like much, but we were honestly really impressed with this cookie. The frosting tastes VERY similar to non-vegan frosting, and the cookie itself was a lot more moist and soft than we expected! Dreidel Cookie The sugar’s not too overpowering, so this probably wouldn’t make you sick to your tummy like some very sugary treats might. It’s pretty difficult to find Hanukkah treats in Disney World, so we’re glad we found this one. Dreidel Cookie Our only complaint with this cookie is that it was a tad underwhelming decoration-wise, especially when compared to Erin McKenna’s over-the-top Christmas treats. The Hanukkah treat deserves to be fancy too! However, we definitely commend Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC for not forgetting about this holiday that is special to so many! ©Disney We’ll be on the lookout for any more special Hanukkah treats to pop up in Disney World!

In November, Buena Vista Street at Disney California Adventure Park reopened as an extension of Downtown Disney and we were reunited with some of our favorite park snacks! Storytellers Statue Just a few days ago, however, Southern California was placed under a regional stay-at-home order, causing many of the restaurants in Downtown Disney to close or only be open for take-out. And now, we’ve spotted another update for Disneyland Resort — Downtown Disney will NOT be open at all on Christmas Day. Earlier today, we noticed that the Disneyland App was not showing any hours for Downtown Disney on Christmas Day, December 25th, and instead was saying that Downtown Disney would be closed. Screenshot from Disneyland App So, we chatted with a Disneyland Cast Member and they told us that Downtown Disney District will be closed on Christmas Day. Screenshot of Chat with Disneyland Cast Member We later checked the hours on the Disneyland website, and the hours for Disneyland are entirely gone from December 25th. ©Disneyland So, it seems the entire Downtown Disney District, including its extension into Buena Vista Street, will be closed on Christmas Day this year. If you were planning to go to the shopping district for some last minute gifts, be aware that you won’t be able to stop by on Christmas Day. Downtown Disney! We also noticed that Downtown Disney’s hours for Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve have been slightly reduced. Downtown Disney has typically been open lately from 9AM-9PM, but on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, it will only be open from 9AM-8PM (just one hour less in the evening). ©Disneyland These hours are subject to change in the future, so we’ll be on the lookout for any updates and let you know what we see.

If you’ve been following along, you may know that Spice Road Table in EPCOT’s Morocco pavilion is not serving guests at the moment (even though it originally reopened along with the rest of the park in July). Spice Road Table sign Perhaps you even caught our very recent photo tour noting everything that is currently closed — and, of course, what’s open — in the beautiful pavilion at this time. But now we want to bring you some new information about an additional change that’s coming even sooner than expected! According to the Walt Disney World website, Spice Road Table will welcome guests again starting this Sunday, December 13th, with hours listed from 12PM – 9PM! Spice Road Table hours posted Even more, we noticed a pretty major change to the currently posted menu, which is designated as a “Lounge” menu. We’re used to enjoying a select of Mediterranean Small Plates at Spice Road Table. But now, the selection of Small Plates has greatly expanded! Mediterranean Small Plates Menu You’ll find items like the Spice Road Table Sampler, Tiropitakia, Dolas, and MUCH more joining options like the popular Hummus Fries and Spicy Shrimp. You’ll even find a Dessert Platter for your sweet tooth. The screenshot above shows the complete listed food menu, with options for full entrees and desserts removed. Mediterranean Journey with Hummus & Olives You may recall that Spice Road Table was entirely focused on small plates in its opening years, only adding full entrees and the option to make reservations later. Now, it appears — for the time being, at least — that small plates will get the spotlight again. Of course, Mediterranean Beers, Wine and Sangria, and Signature Beverages like the Medina Mixer and Sahara Spritz will all be available, as well. Signature Beverages Menu As we discussed previously, Advance Dining Reservations are not available, though the site notifies that “Walk-ins are welcome.” And if you’re wondering why we’re especially excited about this news, you should check out our most recent review!

We’ve had so many sweet and savory treats all throughout EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays! EPCOT Festival of the Holidays But…now there’s one more spot to add to our list of places to try. The Waffles booth (which we also saw at the Food & Wine Festival) is now OPEN for the Festival of the Holidays and serving up some sweet and savory snacks! A huge thank you to Brooke Sheridan (@dressed_in_magic on Instagram) for sending us these awesome photos and information! Today in EPCOT, Brooke saw that the Waffles Holiday Kitchen is now OPEN for the Festival of the Holidays. 2020 Waffles Booth The menu is pretty limited but includes a Gingerbread Waffle (served with whipped cream and citrus-cranberry sauce), Turkey and Waffle (stuffing waffle with turkey, gravy, and cranberry), an Original Sin Brewery Black Widow Hard Cider, and bottled water. 2020 Waffles Menu We’ve seen a Turkey waffle served at EPCOT in the past, but the option here is different than those previous versions. Food Today, Brooke sampled the Gingerbread Waffle served with whipped cream and citrus-cranberry sauce and said it was quite yummy! Gingerbread Waffle She told us that the cranberry topping, which she usually doesn’t like, was actually an excellent compliment to the gingerbread flavor in the waffle, which was not overpowering at all. She also said that the crumble on top was really nice too! Gingerbread Waffle YUM. Sounds delicious! If you’re looking for a new place to stop at this year’s Festival of the Holidays, the Waffles Holiday Kitchen is now available. Wondering what else to get at this year’s festival?

This year has been a challenging one, especially for the travel industry. ©Disney Walt Disney World was closed for several months, and Disneyland Resort still hasn’t reopened. We’re not sure when traveling will start to return to normal, but for guests sailing with Disney Cruise Line, there are still several challenges ahead in 2021, as Disney continues to postpone sailing dates and cancel reservations. We previously announced that Disney Cruise Line would be canceling all sailing through the end of February 2021, but today they updated their list of cancellations again. Their website now states that “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 If your reservation is affected by this change, then you have a few options. If you’ve paid your reservation in full, you will have the choice of a cruise credit to be used on a future sailing or a full refund. Guests that have not paid in full will automatically receive a refund for what they have paid so far. Affected guests or their travel agents will receive an email outlining further details and what steps to take next. ©Port Canaveral | Concept Art If you have any questions make sure to contact Disney Cruise Line or your travel agent. More information on which sailings are affected can be found on the DCL website. Stay tuned to DFB for the latest updates on Disney Cruise Line sailings and Disney travel in general!

Florida just recently passed 1 million total positive COVID-19 cases, and it seems that infection rates are on the rise. Temperature Checks We shared recently that a vaccine is likely headed for the state, but with case numbers at their high since earlier this year, health officials are encouraging people to stay home. What does this mean for the state and for vacationers headed to the theme parks? Let’s check out the latest update. According to an article on WFTV 9, Orange County officials are concerned after seeing a rise in COVID-19 case numbers in the last week. Florida health officials reported 11,355 new cases, which marks the highest number the state has seen since July. 642 of those cases are from residents of Orange County, home to Orlando. Orlando Airport Hospitalizations have been rapidly rising, and health officers are pointing to the Thanksgiving holiday as the cause. Thanksgiving Crowd Orange County’s health officer, Dr. Raul Pino, says that he expects to see an increase in deaths as more people end up in the ICU. He encourages people to stay home and not gather with their extended families for Christmas. Pop Century Christmas tree As of right now, this is just a request and no set orders have been put into place. We’ll continue to keep an eye on the COVID-19 numbers in Florida and update you with pertinent information. Stay tuned to DFB for the latest in news from Walt Disney World and beyond!

Walt Disney World — it’s the most magical place on earth, but that doesn’t mean technical difficulties don’t happen! Olaf and Sven Sometimes technical issues cause Splash Mountain to go down, and other times Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance has to close for a while due to some problems. Yesterday, it was Frozen Ever After’s turn as that is where one guest found a version of Anna that was a little…off (literally). A huge thanks to our reader Nicole (@nicoleuttaro on Instagram) for capturing this moment and sending it to us! You know that phrase “I’d forget my head if it wasn’t screwed on.” Well it looks like Anna took it that a bit differently and forgot her FACE. It’s 2020, so we totally get it — some days it’s just hard to put on your face. It seems the Anna animatronic was experiencing some issues yesterday and the face projection feature was not working properly. So, instead of eyes, a nose, and a beautiful smile, guests were treated to…well, something that could probably be in a Disney nightmare! Frozen Ever After This is not the first time an animatronic on Frozen Ever After has experienced technical complications. We’ve seen issues with Elsa and other parts of the ride in the past. Although the ride recently had some refurbishment done, these advanced animatronics can still have issues. Elsa in Frozen Ever After We expect that Disney worked to fix this issue immediately after it occurred. We checked the My Disney Experience app today and it does not currently show the ride as temporarily unavailable (as of 12:30PM ET), but instead lists about a 65 minute wait for this popular ride. So, if you’re looking to visit your favorite sisters from Arendelle, you can head over there to say hello, or be on the lookout for them in the EPCOT cavalcades and special meet-and-greets! We’re always on the lookout for more interesting Disney news, so be sure to stay tuned for all the latest! Frozen: Christmas movie or not? Check out what THOUSANDS of Disney fans had to say!

Are you planning to visit Walt Disney World for Christmas, New Year’s Eve, or another day in December? Magic Kingdom We’ll, one important thing you’ll need to keep in mind is that (in addition to your park ticket) you need a Park Pass Reservation for the park you want to visit. We’ve seen Park Pass Availability for December changing quite a bit lately, and today it’s changed AGAIN. If you haven’t gotten your Park Passes for December already, NOW is the time to do so! Theme Park Tickets Guests Just a few days ago, Disney Park Pass availability looked like this for the month of December for Theme Park Tickets Guests — with mostly yellow days (meaning one or more parks are already unavailable for those dates). Theme Park Ticket Guest Park Pass Reservation availability for December 13th as of December 10th © Disney But today, we’re seeing a mostly green availability calendar for Theme Park Tickets Guests! On December 12th, Disney’s Animal Kingdom and EPCOT are unavailable, and on December 13th, Disney’s Animal Kingdom is booked, but other than that there is FULL availability at all 4 parks for the rest of the month for Theme Park Tickets Guests, including for New Year’s Eve, Christmas Day, and Christmas Eve. Theme Park Tickets Guests — Park Pass Reservation Availability for December as of December 11th | © Disney But, of course, this availability is subject to change again. So, if you haven’t already booked your Park Passes, we highly recommend you do so now while there is such broad availability. Disney Resort Guests The calendar looks very similar for Disney Resort guests. Currently, Disney’s Animal Kingdom and EPCOT are unavailable for the 12th, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom is unavailable for the 13th. But other than that, the calendar is almost entirely green, signaling full availability on those days. Disney Resort Guests — Park Pass Reservation Availability for December as of December 11th | © Disney That’s a great amount of availability for Disney Resort Guests to really take advantage of. Annual Passholders For Annual Passholders, the calendar is not quite so green. This is what Annual Passholder availability looked like a few days ago. Annual Passholder Park Pass Reservation availability for December 13th as of December 10th © Disney And here’s what it looks like today. It’s largely the same with the 11th, 12th, and 13th showing as fully booked at all 4 parks, and some yellow days throughout part of the month. There is still full availability for Annual Passholders at all 4 parks, however, for Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. Annual Passholders — Park Pass Reservation Availability for December as of December 11th | © Disney But, availability on Christmas Day has filled up a bit for Annual Passholders. Currently, Park Passes for Magic Kingdom for December 25th are not available for Annual Passholders. Again, this availability could change in the future. If you haven’t already booked your Park Passes for an upcoming trip, we recommend you do so as soon as possible. We’ll continue to monitor Park Pass availability and provide you with key updates of any major changes! To see more posts and updates about Park Pass Availability click here!

If you’re planning a trip to Walt Disney World in February 2021, then listen up! Magic Kingdom This morning, park hours were released through February 27th, so make sure to make your Disney Park Pass reservations for your trip (if you haven’t already). If you’re traveling the last full week in February, you can still hit up the last days of the Festival of the Arts, and you can take advantage of the fact that Park Hopping is returning to make sure you get everything done on your list! With the hours finally listed on Disney’s site, it’s time to kick your planning into gear! First, let’s take a look at Magic Kingdom. Disney World’s OG park is open from 9AM-6PM every day of the week — that’s 9 hours of theme park fun! ©Disney Guests can visit EPCOT during this week from 11AM-7PM. The hours tend to get shorter for parks in the winter months, so in this case, you’ll likely want to grab a late lunch and an early dinner if you’re eating in the park. (Or just snack on festival eats all day long!) ©Disney Over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the park is open from 10AM-7PM daily, but you’ll want to be up at 7AM to snag that Rise of the Resistance boarding group. ©Disney Animal Kingdom has a very early closing time in February, with park hours from 9AM-5PM each day. ©Disney Last but not least, Disney Springs will be opening at 10AM and closing at 10PM Sunday-Thursday and closing at 11PM on Friday and Saturday. ©Disney If you’re planning an upcoming trip to Walt Disney World, then keep watching DFB!
