The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has updated guidance on quarantine for those exposed to COVID-19. COVID-19 Testing Site at WDW Maingate Complex Up to this point of the global health crisis, the CDC has recommended a two-week quarantine for those who have been exposed to COVID-19. Now, that recommendation is changing to shorten the length of quarantine for some people. According to CNN, the CDC’s COVID-19 incident manager, Dr. Henry Walke, continues to recommend quarantining for 14 days but notes that there are two alternative quarantine periods. Quarantine can end after 10 days without a COVID-19 test if the person reported no symptoms, or after seven days with a negative test result if the person has reported no symptoms. ©Kemptville District Hospital Even if they end quarantine early, those who have been exposed should still monitor symptoms for 14 days as symptoms can appear anytime within two weeks after exposure. This change has been made to help make it easier for people to quarantine and lessen stress on the public health system as new infections are rising quickly. Maingate Testing Walke notes, “We are sharing these options with public health agencies across the country so that they can determine how long quarantine period should last in their jurisdictions based on local conditions and needs. Everyone should follow this specific guidance from their local public health authorities about how long they should quarantine.” COVID-19 Testing Site at WDW Maingate Complex We’ll be keeping you up to date on these major changes and how they may influence travel in the future. Many states still require quarantine or a negative test when traveling so check with your local government before any nonessential travel.

In our time reporting on Disney merchandise, we’ve seen some pretty wild things! Cinderella Castle at Crystal Arts There was the model of Cinderella Castle that costs as much as a new car, some VERY expensive designer ears, and some definitely pricey Disney jewelry. If you have a desire to spend the big bucks on Disney souvenirs, then there’s certainly a way for you to do that! But now, we’ve got another item to add to the list…a crystal paperweight! Brought to us by Arribas, this Walt Disney World Nametag Crystal Paperweight will set you back $70! Depending on what you’re discussing, $70 may not be a lot of money, but when it comes to a paperweight, that’s a pretty hefty price tag. ©Disney The paperweight is made to look like a Walt Disney World Cast Member nametag, and you can actually get it personalized with your name! However, the personalization will cost you an extra $3.95. Hey, that’s a small fee to pay when you’re already shelling out the $70 for this stunning thing. ©Disney This could be a really nice gift for a Disney Cast Member, but we’re curious — do people actually use paperweights? Either way, you can definitely hop on over to shopDisney to check this one out and decide if it’s worth it to spend $70 on a desk ornament. Check Out the Crystal Paperweight Here!

Hello, everyone! Welcome to Disney’s Monorail Resorts! Monorail We recently visited the resorts on the Monorail track to see what’s new! So here are the latest updates! What’s New at Disney’s Contemporary Resort Contemporary Resort Food Updates We popped into Contempo Cafe to try out the new Chocolate Peppermint Yule Log. This is a chocolate chiffon cake with chocolate peppermint mousse. It’s topped with “meringue mushrooms,” a chocolate gingerbread boy shape, a small piece of chiffon, a chocolate Mickey coin, and decorative frosting. This thing is A LOT. Chocolate Peppermint Yule Log The thing is — we didn’t really get much of the peppermint taste, but we still thought the cake, as a whole, was quite tasty. However, it wasn’t the chocolate lover’s dream we thought it might be. Iif you want to try the Chocolate Peppermint Yule Log for yourself, it’s available now for $5.49.

This is a drink made with Svedka Vodka, Midori Melon Liqueur, Blue Curacao, and Pineapple Juice with a Light Up Cube. Barefoot Pool Bar We liked the drink, but warning — it is sweet! So if sweet isn’t your thing, you might want to skip it. Read our full review of the Poisoned Apple The Turkey Cupcake and Moana Cupcake are still available at Capt. Cook’s.

As 2020 finally comes to a close, we’ve seen lots of thanks pouring out to these real-life heroes — even from folks like Disney executives Bob Iger and Bob Chapek! Now, Starbucks is showing gratitude to frontline workers in a pretty big way. For the entire month of December, Starbucks locations everywhere (including the ones in Disney Springs!) will provide a FREE tall hot or iced brewed coffee to all frontline healthcare workers every day. Wow, that’s really cool! Starbucks in Disney Springs If you’re a frontline healthcare worker, let the barista at the register know and they’ll make sure to get you your coffee. We spoke to a Disney Springs barista this morning who let us know that you can put any flavorings, milk, or anything else that you want in it too. Disney Springs Starbucks Not in Disney World? This promotion is available at participating U.S. stores so check in with your local Starbucks to see if they are offering this gift (we’ll be checking in with Downtown Disney when they open later today!).

It’s a very chilly day in Florida today, so we’re taking advantage of the cold and pulling out all our cute Disney sweaters and beanies for that wintry look! Ronto Roasters Today, as we made our way around Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we were also craving something to drink that would keep us warm and toasty, so we stopped by Ronto Roasters and were FINALLY able to try some of the NEW and very elusive Spiced Surabat Cider that we had been trying to find for quite a while! About a week ago we noticed the addition of the new Spiced Surabat Cider and Spiked Spiced Surabat Cider to the online menu for Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo, but when we checked the restaurant’s Mobile Order offerings, we couldn’t find it! We spoke to a citizen of Batuu (a Cast Member) a few days ago and they said that the plan was essentially to have this drink available on cooler nights. Well, today is DEFINITELY a cool day so we were really happy to FINALLY find this item available in Galaxy’s Edge! Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge We still couldn’t find it on the Mobile Order menu for Docking Bay 7 today, but we did see it on the Online Menu AND Mobile Order Menu for Ronto Roasters, so that’s where we stopped by today to grab some! Screenshot of Ronto Roasters Mobile Order Offerings The Spiced Surabat Cider is made up of Hot Apple Cider with notes of Hickory Smoke and Winter Spices. It’s available for $3.79. Or, you can opt for a Spiked version for $13 that contains Maker’s Mark Bourbon. We went for the non-alcoholic version this trip. Spiced Surabat Cider This drink was really nice and warm on a cold day! It was also very spicy, but not hot or peppery. You could really taste the flavors of the spices put in this drink — particularly cinnamon and nutmeg. Spiced Surabat Cider The Spiced Surabat Cider also had chunks of fresh apples in it which we totally LOVED! It really added to the taste of the drink overall. Spiced Surabat Cider The portion size we got was also pretty large, which we really liked. It means you can have even more of the drink to sip on and keep you warm. The design on the cup, while not holiday-themed or seasonal, was also kinda cool. Spiced Surabat Cider We’d really be interested to see what the spiked one would taste like. Gives us a good reason to go back and try it again in the future! Overall, we think this drink would be great for anyone who loves hot apple cider or hot tea and is looking for something to warm them up in the cold weather. Spiced Surabat Cider If you don’t like apple, cinnamon, or nutmeg, then this drink is something you should probably skip! You could opt for a hot chocolate, hot coffee, or regular hot tea somewhere else in the park instead. Or, since you’re in Galaxy’s Edge, you could try some blue or green milk just to say you did (although those won’t exactly keep you warm)! Blue and Green Milk in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Disney World is officially celebrating the holiday season, so we’re on the lookout for any other exciting seasonal offerings. We’ll let you know if we spot anything new and give you our thoughts on whether it’s something you should try!

Get ready to get sippin’ at one of our FAVORITE Disney resorts. Territory Lounge Holiday Drinks Yesterday we visited Territory Lounge at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort for the first time in MONTHS. Though this spot was only open due to the cold weather, we DID get to try out their two holiday drink specials! First up, we’ve got the Good Tidings cocktail for $16! This sip is a combo of Domaine Ste. Michelle Brut and Blackberry Brandy. Ooh..we’re intrigued. Good Tidings We thought this was a super festive drink! It was very light and bubbly with more robust flavors from the brandy (definite berry notes, but we’re not sure we tasted blackberry). If you like bubbles, this could be a great option for you! Good Tidings The second drink was the Winter Wonderland for $14, a mix of Skyy Citrus Vodka, Sour Apple Liqueur, and Cranberry Juice. Winter Wonderland This one surprised us with how tart it was! We’d compare it to a SweeTART with a little kick so it’s an interesting sweet and sour candy drink. We noticed the apple coming through the most. We liked this drink a lot but it may be too sweet for some. Winter Wonderland You can find both of these drinks at Territory Lounge when it’s open. Keep in mind, Cast Members let us know that the lounge only reopened since it was too chilly for Geyser Point to be open, so it won’t be open regularly. If you’re at Wilderness Lodge on a brisk day, check in to see if you can pick up these sips! Click here to learn more about the reopening of Territory Lounge!

When Disney Springs reopened in May of this year, the shopping and dining complex began requiring all guests to wear face coverings — a safety precaution that has been in place around Walt Disney World since. Holiday Face Mask In order to make sure guests comply with these rules, Disney has aimed to make wearing a face mask more fun by releasing TONS of fun designs and styles with Disney characters!

Who’s ready for a quick, tropical getaway?? Tambu Lounge Sign While ‘Ohana still has yet to reopen at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Tambu Lounge is serving up delicious drinks and appetizers right next door! We recently stopped by to see if the incredible atmosphere and newer menu items help hold this spot as high as we remembered. Let’s take a look! Atmosphere Located on the second floor of the Great Ceremonial House in what is usually the waiting area for ‘Ohana/open lobby area, the theming of Tambu Lounge definitely fits with the Polynesian vibe. Tambu Lounge Which, of course, means there are tikis (tiki, tiki, tikis ) located throughout the lounge to greet you! Tambu Lounge The thatched roof adds to the laid-back atmosphere of the lounge. Roof The actual bar is kind of just a big square no bigger than most Disney pool bars. In fact, it kinda looks like one but, you know, inside. Previously, you could belly up to the bar and grab a stool to sit at but for now, the chairs have been removed. © sweetliv_emmie The tables at this space have always been somewhat limited but now are even more spread out than in the past to allow for greater distance between parties. © @sweetliv_emmie While the layout looks a bit different than it has in the past, the laid-back, tropical vibe is definitely still there! Eats Before that silly ol’ Trader Sam hitched a ride off the Jungle Cruise in Magic Kingdom and set up shop just downstairs with his now very popular tiki bar, there was Tambu. In a sea of Disney World generic bar menus, Tambu has always shined as a location to find unique drinks and eats not available at other bars…and as the bar where you get “that big drink in a pineapple” (yes — the Lapu Lapu is still available, friends!). Right now, one of our favorite parts of Tambu is unavailable. Prior to the closures, we were known to hack a version of a meal at ‘Ohana here from the appetizer menu and secret menu items! Sadly, for now, you’ll have to pick from the limited menu with no ‘Ohana goodies available (though we have heard from Cast Members at Tambu that you should be able to get the NEW ‘Ohana-style Bread Pudding from Kona Cafe here after 5PM!). Guests looking for a bite to eat can select from several appetizers… Tambu Lounge Appetizers …but Tambu Lounge really shines when it comes to its drink selection! They offer a ton of specialty cocktails… Cocktail Menu …as well as some non-alcoholic drinks! Non-Alcoholic Beverages Since Tambu Lounge is known for its incredible drinks and awesome bartenders, we had to start out with a cocktail! We opted for the Puka Punch, made with The Real McCoy 5 yr Rum, Bacardí Superior Rum, John D. Taylor’s Velvet Falernum, Tropical Juices, Passion Fruit, and Angostura Bitters. Puka Punch This is one (of many) rum punch type drinks on the menu. Falernum is a common ingredient in tiki drinks and it adds a nice flavor here. It’s a sweet syrup with flavors almond, lime, ginger, and often allspice. It adds complexity to drinks so they don’t just taste straight up like a cup of sweet juice. We also loved the addition of the bitters — it helped tone down the overall sweetness of the drink. This drink, like many here, packs a punch. See that brown on the top? That’s all rum, baby! Puka Punch If you find yourself looking for a less-sweet option on a menu full of sugary tropical drinks, this might be the one for you! The Puka Punch will run you $14. Now, let’s dig into some appetizers! First, we tried the O’Ahu Island Flatbread. There are two versions of this flatbread, one comes with Shrimp, Crab, Red Onions, Basil Aïoli, Parmesan, and Gruyére, and the other comes with Shredded Pork, Crispy Pork Belly, Ham, Pineapple-Barbecue Sauce, Red Onion, Smoked Gouda, Cheddar. We opted for the pork version! O’Ahu Island Flatbread We were super impressed with this flatbread! While all of the ingredients worked well together, the standout for us was the incredibly flavorful pineapple barbecue sauce. And even though flatbreads often don’t look like much, this was actually pretty filling thanks to the generous amount of toppings. For $15, we’d definitely order this appetizer again. O’Ahu Island Flatbread But we didn’t stop there! We also tried Kaikane’s Barbecue Pork Ribs which consists of Marinated Pork Ribs, Korean-Style Barbecue Sauce, and Pickled Peppers, with Pineapple Slaw on the side. The Cast Members we spoke with mentioned that this is their favorite menu item, and we could definitely see why! Kaikane’s Barbecue Pork Ribs The ribs were perfectly cooked and we received a generous portion, although next time we might ask for extra sauce since it had such a great flavor! The pineapple slaw was refreshing, but we couldn’t really taste much pineapple in it, so heads up if that’s the main selling point of this item for you! But overall, we’d definitely say this dish is worth $16. Pineapple Slaw So, we thoroughly enjoyed our delicious drink and awesome eats, but is Tambu Lounge right for you and your family? Let’s discuss! Nosh or Not? You Might Want to Dine at Tambu Lounge if: You’re a big fan of specialty cocktails and want to try the awesome concoctions the Tambu Lounge bartenders whip up (or you’re missing tiki drinks from Trader Sam’s!). You love the laid-back, relaxed vibe of the Poly and want to soak in the atmosphere. You’d prefer to stick to appetizers instead of a full meal. You Might Want to Skip Tambu Lounge if: You have a large group. There’s not a lot of space for bigger parties right now. You’d prefer to order a full meal including an entree and dessert rather than just lighter appetizers. You can find similar styled food at nearby Kona Cafe. You’re looking for a fancier atmosphere. There are other options on the Monorail loop that might interest you, like California Grill or Narcoossee’s! Overall We definitely have a soft spot in our hearts for this place! This place is simple but has a lot of heart behind it. Our service was incredible, which is something we’ve come to expect at Tambu Lounge. There’s a great selection of specialty cocktails, including that Instagramable Lapu Lapu, and even though they’re on the pricy side, they’re also pretty strong. While the food menu is small, we love the items they do offer, and we were blown away by our appetizers this trip! Top that all off with the warm, comfortable atmosphere, and Tambu Lounge is a winner in our books.

But Walt Disney World isn’t the only Disney resort celebrating in 2020…Shanghai Disney Resort is also decking the halls, serving sweet holiday treats, and selling festive merchandise! Shanghai Disneyland The holiday season in Shanghai is well under way — it started on November 27th! And if you’re there, the first thing you’ll see at Celebration Square on Mickey Avenue are FOUR Christmas gifts, each of which will be unwrapped every week, revealing a new surprise! The Enchanted Storybook Castle will also be “unwrapped” every week! ©Shanghai Disney Resort That’s not the only fun photo opportunity! There will also be the nightly Mickey’s Magical Tree Lighting Ceremony, featuring none other than Mickey and Minnie Mouse! And while live entertainment is on pause at Walt Disney World, there will be two shows at Shanghai Disneyland, “Happy Holidays, Mickey!” and “Christmas Swing!” It will also “snow” on Mickey Avenue! There are also TONS of festive holiday decorations around the park! ©Shanghai Disney Resort And we CANNOT imagine the holiday season at a Disney resort without Christmas treats, and Shanghai Disneyland is delivering with Duffy and Mickey Gingerbread Cookies, Chip ‘n’ Dale Christmas popcorn buckets, Christmas Chocolate Log Cakes, and so much more! ©Shanghai Disney Resort There are also themed meals at Mickey & Pals Market Cafe and the Royal Banquet Hall, the later of which is serving Duffy-themed menus on weekends and Christmas Day! ©Shanghai Disney Resort At the Disneytown Christmas Market, there are craft stations, food booths, games, and other holiday-themed activities. Weekends will be especially festive with carolers! Going on a weeknight? That’s fine! There’s a nightly tree lighting ceremony starring Mickey Mouse. ©Shanghai Disney Resort And, of course, there’s MERCH! Because it’s Shanghai Disneyland, there is a long of Duffy and Friends characters in the cuddliest winter costumes among items featuring Mickey, Minnie, Chip, Dale, and friends! ©Shanghai Disney Resort The holidays at Disney World are SO magical, but tbh, they sound pretty incredible at Shanghai Disney Resort, too!
