Coronavirus has caused a multitude of changes throughout the world and continues to do so. Recently, Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland were both forced to close due to rising coronavirus cases in their areas. EPCOT We’ve been constantly watching for further updates from California’s governor for regulations that may impact Disneyland Resort, and we’ve also been keeping an eye out for updates from Florida’s Governor DeSantis on any regulations that may impact Disney World. Today, Governor DeSantis held a press conference and we got a better idea of the state’s direction in terms of coronavirus restrictions and more as COVID-19 numbers increase across the nation. According to the Orlando Sentinel, Governor DeSantis held a press conference today, his first in weeks, discussing COVID-19 and future restrictions in Florida. During the conference, DeSantis noted that there would be “no lockdowns, no fines, no school closures. No one’s losing their job because of a government dictate. Nobody’s losing their livelihood or their business. That is totally off the table.” ©Fox10 News DeSantis has previously waived all outstanding fines for face-covering orders and prevented local governments from imposing mask mandates. During today’s conference, DeSantis said he is “opposed to mandates” and doesn’t think they work. Note that this does not change anything at Disney World. Masks are and continue to be required to be worn at all times (including when taking photos) in Disney World unless stationary and actively eating or drinking. Guests who do not properly wear their masks at Disney World will be asked to leave. Face Mask signage In terms of the future of coronavirus precautions in light of the positive vaccine news, DeSantis noted that some say social distancing should continue until 2022 even with the vaccine, but he said that is “totally overboard.” He did note, however, that people should be aware that some of the proposed vaccines will require a booster shot and so that’s just something to keep in mind. Social Distancing Sign During the conference, DeSantis’ main focus was on schools. He indicated that schools will remain open for in-person instruction, but Florida will continue to offer virtual choices for parents who prefer that. ©Disney DeSantis also discussed theme parks and gave them praise for the way in which they’ve handled the pandemic. According to USA Today, DeSantis noted, “Everyone now acknowledges that theme parks have not led to any type of major outbreaks.” DeSantis said that Disney World, SeaWorld, and Universal have all “done very well” in their efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19. Earlier this year, an official from Florida’s Department of Health did note that no coronavirus cases had been linked at that time to Orlando theme parks. Disney World’s Health and Safety Signs DeSantis also talked about how Florida’s regulations differ from the more restrictive rules in California. Click here to read about the theme park reopening guidelines issued by the state of California. According to the Orlando Sentinel, positive coronavirus cases in Florida have been trending higher, “with 54,246 new cases and 509 newly reported deaths Sunday to Sunday in state health department data.” Florida also reported “7,363 new positive cases of COVID-19 and 58 more resident deaths on Sunday, with total cases closing in on 1 million and the death toll nearing 19,000.” Health and Safety Signage With the closures of other Disney Parks around the world and the continued closure of Disneyland Resort in California, we are keeping an eye out for coronavirus news as it may impact your future Disney vacation and the Disney parks in general.

The Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays has officially kicked off for the season! Bûche de Noël We’ve been busy trying all the new treats and sweets at each Holiday Kitchen in World Showcase. Now, other EPCOT locations have joined in the festivities! Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie bakes up some beautiful desserts and French pastries throughout the year. The bakery is currently serving a traditional Bûche de Noël aux Trois Chocolats for the season! We recently tried the Maple Bûche de Noël at the Yukon Holiday Kitchen. The idea is similar in that they are both inspired by the traditional Yule Log dessert. The cake served at Les Halles is made with different ingredients and looks quite different as well. This Bûche de Noël is made with three chocolate creams and a chocolate crunch biscuit. Bûche de Noël The Bûche de Noël is incredibly chocolatey. The tastes we experienced were chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate! This isn’t too surprising as the description lists three chocolates in the ingredients. This dessert is absolutely meant for guests who love chocolate! Bûche de Noël We couldn’t find the advertised “crunch” anywhere with the chocolate mousse dessert. We wished we experienced a different texture or perhaps another flavor to balance out the mousse. There are a lot of good treats at the Festival of the Holidays so you have plenty of options if you don’t prefer the taste of pure chocolate. Bûche de Noël The Bûche de Noël is $6.75. We do think there are more inspired treats to try at the festival this year. That said, the Bûche de Noël was made well and with good ingredients. We will continue to try all of the treats this holiday season, so stay tuned for our reviews! Check out our Best of the Fest reviews for Festival of the Holidays!

There are dozens of Disney hotels to stay at in Walt Disney World, and everyone’s got their own favorites. Grand Floridian Christmas decorations Over the past few weeks, we’ve asked YOU, our readers, about whether certain Disney attractions and restaurants are overrated or underrated, and today we’re tackling Disney World resort hotels! Will Disney’s Grand Floridian Hotel be voted as totally underrated? Or will Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter and its tasty beignets be overrated? YOU voted and now we’ve got the results! A few weeks ago, we put up a few polls on our Instagram asking you whether certain Disney World hotels were overrated or underrated, and THOUSANDS of you responded! Some of your answers totally surprised us, but others were definitely understandable. Let’s start with some value resorts! Disney’s Art of Animation Resort — overrated or underrated? You may be thinking “it’s just a value resort, nothing special.” But there are many family suite-style rooms, Disney icons that are larger than life, a unique food court, and some seriously cool pools. When you take all of that into consideration it makes sense why 61% of you think that Art of Animation is underrated! Art of Animation Poll Results From the incredible theming in the Cars section of this resort, to the Big Blue Pool, and all the cool animation facts spread throughout the Resort, we totally get why many of you feel this is an underrated resort. Sure, it’s not as fancy as something like Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa (more on that hotel in a minute), but it’s colorful, fun, and full of amazing photo ops. Art of Animation Whether you’ve got kids or you’re a child at heart, this is a resort that is fantastic to stay at and even fun just to walk around. Click here to check out the holiday decorations at Art of Animation! Okay, so Art of Animation may be underrated, but what about the Disney’s All-Star Resorts which include Disney’s All-Star Movies, All-Star Sports, and All-Star Music Resorts? Are those also some underrated spots to stay at? 40% of you thought so, but 60% said no way! In this case, OVER 14,000 of you let us know that you feel the All-Star Resorts are totally overrated. All Star Resorts Poll Results Again, these are value resorts so if you’re expecting something a bit more refined, this is not the best bet for you. Because of their value resort prices, these hotels are also often quite full — especially when there’s a sports or cheerleading competition going on at The ESPN Wide World of Sports complex. All-Star Resorts Entrance Kids will likely find the over-the-top decorations here to be quite fun and the resorts can be great in a pinch when you’re looking for somewhere relatively inexpensive to stay at, but it’s certainly not a deluxe experience. The food courts in the hotels sometimes have some fun cupcakes or other items, but overall they serve pretty standard food court food that’ll do the trick but won’t have you amazed. Broadway construction Overall it seems most of you feel like these hotels are just overrated. Click here to see when All-Star Movies will be reopening! Things were much more even, however, when we asked about Disney’s Pop Century Resort. About 13,000 of you said this hotel was underrated, while just over 11,000 voted for overrated. Pop Century Results While Pop Century is a value resort, its rooms have all been refurbished giving them a much more modern look, which adds some value to this hotel experience overall. And while some things, like the food court here, can be a bit more basic in terms of options, it seems the overall feel of the resort, its fun decor, and other aspects pushed it just slightly into the underrated category. Pop Century Resort The fact that it is a relatively short walk away from Art of Animation probably also helps, as it gives guests staying at this hotel a whole other resort full of options in terms of shopping, dining, and even walk-around entertainment value. Click here to see the holiday decorations at Pop Century! But, what if you don’t want the traditional hotel experience? What if you want to enjoy some time in the great outdoors. Well, Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground may be just what you need, and according to OVER 18,000 of our readers, this resort is totally UNDERRATED! Fort Wilderness Poll Results If you aren’t a big camper, you may have never even considered staying at this hotel, but this spot really has a LOT to offer, so we can totally see why so many readers felt it was underrated. If you visit during the holidays or Halloween, you can drive around and check out ALL of the amazing decorations that the campers put up near their campsites. You can also go horseback riding, take archery lessons, go on a fishing excursion, enjoy some fried chicken, and more! Western Archery Experience Many may discount this hotel as one that’s just a campsite, but it really is more than that. If you’ve never stayed or visited Fort Wilderness before, it may be something you want to check out in the future. From the wilderness, we move over to the French Quarter. If you’ve never woken up at Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter and walked just the few steps over to the main check-in building to stuff your face with ALL the beignets you can eat, have you really lived? We think not! And apparently, quite a few of you, 77% in fact, think that this resort as a whole is totally underrated! Port Orleans French Quarter French Quarter is one of the smaller hotels in Disney World, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Its small size actually means it feels much more quaint, sometimes feels less full, and is more convenient to get around. The rooms are pretty spacious, there is a beautiful waterway in the back of the resort with boats running to Disney Springs, and you can even walk all the way over to Port Orleans Riverside. Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter French Quarter is not open at the moment, but we are definitely hoping this resort will reopen soon so we can enjoy some delicious beignets and a peaceful walk around the hotel. Okay, so many of you feel French Quarter is underrated, but what about Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa? 58% of you actually felt this hotel is overrated! Saratoga Springs Resort Poll Results We found this somewhat surprising since the resort has a walkway to Disney Springs, which makes it really easy to stop by and get in some of your favorite snacks and meals from those delicious Disney Springs spot. Saratoga Springs Saratoga Springs isn’t exactly an inexpensive hotel, though, and it doesn’t really have any big Disney theming so perhaps that’s why some felt that this hotel isn’t quite what others may hype it up to be. Click here to see what’s new at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort! The results were very different, however, for Disney’s BoardWalk Inn where 70% of you felt like the resort is underrated! BoardWalk Inn Poll Results BoardWalk definitely has quite a few unique benefits including its location on Disney’s BoardWalk, with easy access to several restaurants. It’s also a relatively short walk away from EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios and has boat access to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios also. It has also got a pool with a signature (but somewhat creepy) slide! The resort’s iconic clown slide is undergoing refurbishment at the moment though and it appears the clown may be saying goodbye, so we’ll definitely keep an eye out for updates on that! Also, it’s worth noting that the BoardWalk Inn remains closed, but the Disney Vacation Club Villas at the BoardWalk are currently open! Click here to see what’s new at Disney’s BoardWalk Villas! Finally, we’ve reached our results for two of Disney’s most iconic resorts! First, we’ll tackle Disney’s Contemporary Resort. It’s unique look and monorail access make this hotel one of Disney’s most special options for your stay. But, despite all of these things, 56% of our readers who also feel like the Contemporary Resort is overrated! WOW! Contemporary Poll Results The rooms at the Contemporary will certainly cost you a pretty penny, so if you simply feel that its benefits are not worth that high price, we can understand why you would feel this spot is overrated. But, for others, we’re sure that the walking access or monorail access to Magic Kingdom are priceless. Contemporary Resort But, the results for our poll on Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa made it clear that a “deluxe resort” designation doesn’t necessarily mean a resort is all it’s built up to be. In fact, 65% of our readers told us that they feel the Grand Floridian is just overrated. Grand Floridian Poll Results Again, while for some the monorail access and now walkway access to Magic Kingdom may make this a total win, for others the price just isn’t worth it, and we can understand why that would be. Again, like the Contemporary, a night here is flat out expensive most of the time. And while the classic, sophisticated, and just beautiful look of the hotel overall is wonderful, its benefits may just not be enough to justify that high price for some. Grand Floridian Christmas Tree Well, those are the results from our polls. Where do you fall on these questions? Is the Grand Floridian a family favorite for you that you’ll always love, or do you agree with our readers that it’s overrated?

We’ve seen a lot of changes at Disney World hotels since Disney World reopened this summer. Grand Floridian Resort From face covering requirements to new policies about Disney’s Magical Express to new social distancing guidelines, Disney World and its resort hotels are a lot different now. But what can Disney World resort hotel guests expect in 2021? Here are 6 hotel updates you need to know for the New Year! 1. Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Makeover Disney’s Polynesian Resort has been getting a massive refurbishment, including a new entryway, and is set to fully reopen in summer 2021. The hotel including the guest rooms are going through a HUGE change… it’ll now be Moana-themed! Say goodbye to the classic Hawaiian room theme of old, and say hello to something a little more Disney! Construction The new rooms will include “a Pacific Ocean-inspired color palette, as well as details, patterns, and textures from Disney’s Moana.” ©Disney Polynesian Concept Art We’re expecting lots of swirling patterns and textures like those on Moana’s skirt! Maybe they’ll even throw in a few things inspired by Maui’s tattoos! No one knows how far it goes! Work has already begun on the resort and we are eager to find out an official reopening date. Poly Construction Do keep in mind that the Villas and Bungalows are open at this time along with locations like Kona Cafe and Capt. Cooks. But at this time, the Polynesian’s monorail station is currently closed. Learn more about the new Moana theme at the Polynesian 2. Grand Floridian Walkway to Magic Kingdom In case you missed it, we’ve been following the construction of the walkway between the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa to the Magic Kingdom, and guess what? It’s finally open! So if you’re at the Grand Floridian and want to bypass other modes of transportation or just want to take a leisurely stroll to Magic Kingdom (or vice versa) you’re in luck! Just follow the signs to find it. Grand Floridian Walkway If you’re coming FROM the Grand Floridian, you go through security at the boat docks. Although it took us about 15-20 minutes to walk it, you definitely can’t fault the amazing view. Grand Floridian Walkway We do suggest taking another mode of transportation if the weather is questionable since the walk can take a bit! Grand Floridian Walkway The gate at the main bridge locks around an hour to an hour and a half after Magic Kingdom closes, and there is ample lighting for guests who want to take the path at night. See more photos of the Grand Floridian Walkway here! 3. Some Hotels Still Haven’t Reopened In addition to the Polynesian Resort, some hotels at Disney World haven’t reopened yet. Although Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort is closed right now, it is scheduled to reopen on February 9th, 2021. The following hotels, though, still don’t have solid reopening dates: Animal Kingdom Lodge Animal Kingdom Villas Jambo House All-Star Sports Resort All-Star Music Resort Beach Club Resort Boardwalk Inn Wilderness Lodge Port Orleans Resort Animal Kingdom Lodge However, Disney Vacation Club rooms are open at the following hotels, although the resorts themselves are still technically “closed:” Animal Kingdom Villas – Kidani Village Boulder Ridge Villas and Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Beach Club Villas Boardwalk Villas Disney’s Polynesian Villas & Bungalows Boardwalk Inn We’re keeping an eye out for when some of these hotels might reopen, and we’ll let you know the details as soon as we have them! Learn more about what hotels and attractions are closed 4. Room Service Is Unavailable at Most Resorts It’s always nice to come back to your hotel room at the end of a long day at the parks and have food brought to your room, but at the moment, room service is still unavailable at most Disney World resort hotels. Now we said “most” and not “all,” because we were pleasantly surprised when we recently learned that In-Room Dining is available at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort! If this is a concern of yours, be sure to check with a Cast Member to see if room service is available at your hotel before booking there. Disney’s Yacht Club & Resort No worries though, even if room service is unavailable, you have options. First, many quick-service restaurants have Mobile Order: you just place on the My Disney Experience app, pick it up, and take it back to your room to relax and dine. And several resort Table Service restaurants have the Mobile Order To Go option, which works exactly the same way! Mobile Order to Go for Three Bridges Bar & Grill It is possible, though, that room service will eventually return next year to more resorts, and if that happens, we’ll let you know. In the meantime, learn more about Mobile Order Table Service To Go! 5. Getting Into Disney Hotels Isn’t the Same As It Used to Be If you’re checking into a hotel, Disney encourages you to use the My Disney Experience app to bypass the check-in desk. The app will allow you to get your room number, as well as let you use your phone as your room key (although MagicBands still work, too). MagicBand Reader at Gran Destino Tower Room in Coronado Springs Resort However, resort hopping is definitely not the same. If you want to visit a hotel that you’re not staying at, you will likely need a confirmed dining reservation to get in or an order placed on Mobile Order. Topolino’s Terrace Dining Room It really depends on which hotel you are trying to hop to and the mode of transportation you take to get there. We’ve had different experiences depending on the Cast Members at the resorts. However, we recommend grabbing a dining reservation or Mobile Order to ensure you can enter the resort. Can You Still Resort Hop in Disney World? 6. Certain Parts of the Monorail Aren’t Open If you’re looking to use the Monorail for much of your park transportation, you’ll want to consider the fact that parts of the Monorail are not running. As noted above, the Polynesian Village Resort station is completely closed down while that hotel gets a refurbishment. Monorail at the Polynesian The Monorail is also still not available for EPCOT. However, you can still catch the Skyliner to and from EPCOT. And of course, bus transportation to and from the parks is available at all resorts. Looking for more info? Check out the BEST Disney World hotels for 2021 in our video below. Overall, the experience of staying at a Disney World hotel is the same. But there are a few changes surrounding the hotels themselves that you need to know about, especially if you’re booking a trip next year. We know that planning a Disney trip is a little different right now, so please let us know you’re questions and concerns and we will do our best to get you the info you need!

We just found one of the PRETTIEST gingerbread cookies in Disney World! Gingerbread Mickey Cookies Disney’s Riviera Resort is home to Le Petit Cafe which has brought us some of our favorite holiday desserts and coffee drinks. We’ve got another holiday snack to add to our growing list of favorites. Right now, Le Petit Cafe is baking up some Mickey Gingerbread Cookies that are exclusive only to the Riveria Resort! What makes these cookies so special? First of all, the recipe is only being used for the Gingerbread Mickey Cookies sold at this resort. The special ingredients include honey and rye flour. Also, they’re pretty to look at! AND, you get two cookies for $5.99. Compare this to one standard Gingerbread Mickey that costs $3.99. Gingerbread Mickey Cookies See how pretty they are?? The backside of the cookie is coated in chocolate with the Riviera Resort lettering printed in a gold pattern. One of the cookies features an indent with the same logo. Gingerbread Mickey Cookies Ok, they’re pretty, the ingredients are different, and you get two cookies. Most importantly, do they taste good?? The results are in…yes! They do taste good! The gingerbread spice is fairly prominent and the honey adds a good amount of sweetness to the cookie. They’re fresh, large cookies that are pretty and yummy. We will say that the honey tones down the gingerbread spice a bit. You might find this cookie a little too sweet if you love the taste of spicy gingerbread. Either way, we suggest lovers of gingerbread cookies give these delightful treats a try! Check out two more holiday treats we tried at Disney’s Riviera Resort!

It is indeed the season to “have a cup of cheer,” but we’re going for one better today. Frozen Coffee with Tap 357 Whisky at EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays Because they’re serving TWO new cups of cheer — specialty coffee beverages, to be exact — at Disney’s Riviera Resort. And we picked up the Noel Blanc Glace and the Toasted Praline Cold Brew to bring you this extra-caffeinated review! You’ll see both beverages listed under the Specialty Iced Coffees on the menu at Le Petit Café. Le Petit Cafe Menu The Noel Blanc Glace isn’t your typical cup o’ joe, that’s for sure. This frozen cold brew coffee is blended with white mocha, cinnamon, and milk. (You’ll also spot a Noel Blanc Latte up for grabs — hot or iced, your choice.) Noel Blanc Glace It’s topped with blue sugar crystals for a seasonal winter touch. And those sugar crystals also serve as a pretty good indicator of the flavor profile for this very, VERY sweet drink. Noel Blanc Glace It’s so sweet, that it doesn’t taste much like coffee — it’s really much more of a dessert, in that sense. But the white mocha and cinnamon together are a totally winning combo, making this like a Christmas dessert in a cup! Noel Blanc Glace The Noel Blanc Glace is $5.99, and while it might not be ideal for your morning sip, it is a really enjoyable treat nonetheless. The Toasted Praline Cold Brew doesn’t sport an especially unique appearance, comparatively. It features the Resort’s specialty blend cold brew served together with house-made praline marshmallow cream. Toasted Praline Cold Brew The cream blends in wonderfully with the cold brew, boasting a very lovely praline flavor. The drink is sweeter than most cold brews due to the cream, which is almost similar to a syrup in regards to how much it affects the color of the beverage. Toasted Praline Cold Brew The marshmallow presents itself primarily in the aftertaste, and blends in nicely with the praline as you enjoy the rest of the drink. Toasted Praline Cold Brew The Toasted Praline Cold Brew is $4.79, and came out as the favorite of the two drinks for our tastes. But, as we’ve learned here at Le Petit Café, a lot of the specialty coffee creations here are typically quite good. And no matter which you choose, you’ll likely find it worth your coffee splurge, as there tends to be something to suit just about every coffee palate. And, hey, while we’re here at Disney’s Riviera Resort… did you get to see it all decked out for the holidays? Take a tour of the holiday decorations at Disney’s Riviera Resort here!

We’ve been using Mobile Order a TON lately all throughout Disney World, and placing mobile orders through the Disneyland App as well. Jingle Bell Sipper Ever wished you could just use a Disney app in some way to speed up your merchandise shopping experience while in the parks too? Well, Disney is now testing out something that could do just that, and we got to check it out today! While we were in Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort in California today, we stopped by World of Disney and spotted some signs promoting “Mobile Checkout.” This is a new service that’s now available through the Disneyland App that allows you to scan items in the store and pay for them online, potentially helping you avoid waiting in a long line to checkout. Mobile Checkout Here’s how it works. First, you can either open the Disneyland App, tap the plus sign in the bottom center, and then tap the “Shop in Store — Now Testing” option… ©Disney …or you can scan the QR code in the store, which will take you to this page. Once you hit “Shop in Store” you’ll be directed to the Disneyland App. ©Disney The page you’re taken to explains the new system. One of the important first steps is that you’ll need to grab a designated mobile checkout shopping bag, so be sure to look for those when you enter the store. ©Disney Then, when you’re in the store, you’ll scan the items you want to buy as you add them to your bag. Here’s what the scanning screen looks like. ©Disney We scanned the barcode for the cute Grape Soda pillow and the item appeared in our shopping bag! ©Disney Once we were done scanning the barcodes for the items we wanted to purchase, we tapped the “Check Out” option, and our Annual Pass discount was applied. We could then select our payment method, including a Disney Gift Card or Disney Rewards Redemption Card. ©Disney Once we made all of our selections, we could complete the check-out process if desired. ©Disney When you’re checked out, you’ll then head to the exit where you’ll show your QR code and a Cast Member will check your receipt. Mobile Checkout And that’s it! Overall, it was a pretty simple process. If you experience any issues with the system, particularly with the application of a particular discount or something, be sure to ask a Cast Member for assistance. Mobile Checkout Sign We found signs advertising this new system all throughout World of Disney as we walked around today. Mobile Checkout Sign We could definitely see this system being very helpful in terms of promoting distancing and making the whole shopping experience easier, particularly when the store is busier, as it will allow guests to take care of their own shopping and checkout needs, and only require the Cast Members at the end to do a quick check. We’re interested to see how long Disneyland tests out this system for, and whether it becomes a permanent addition to World of Disney and potentially other Disney stores at Disneyland Resort or even Walt Disney World. We’ll definitely be on the lookout for more information and let you know what we see! Downtown Disney has extended its hours into the new year at Disneyland Resort — check out the details here!

We love seeing our favorite characters around Disney World! Mickey Mouse Due to the pandemic, traditional character meet-and-greets transformed into socially distanced and cavalcade-style versions. Now that it’s Christmastime, we’re seeing several of those offerings getting seasonal makeovers! We have Christmas cavalcades, flotillas, motorcades, and promenades in the four parks, and we’ve seen characters wearing their holiday best to wave at guests from a distance. Now another character is donning their Christmas gear — Joy from Inside Out! Joy has a socially distanced meet-and-greet over next to the Imagination Pavilion in EPCOT. Typically, she and Winnie the Pooh swap appearances here throughout the day. We noticed Pooh in his festive best the other day, so today we made it a point to see if Joy was also getting into the holiday spirit! Winnie the Pooh in EPCOT As we made our way over to the usual spot, Joy was getting ready to leave. We managed to catch a short glimpse of her waving goodbye to the guests — and she was wearing some jolly accessories! Joy in EPCOT Joy had what looked to be a scarf made of Christmas garland hanging from her neck, along with a red ribbon on a stick. Joy in EPCOT Joy looked like she had been having a lot of fun, so we’re disappointed that we missed most of her appearance. We’ll be on the lookout for her return so that we can get the full experience! Joy in EPCOT If you’ve got an Inside Out fan in your family, this socially distanced meet-and-greet is super cute! We could spend all day over here hanging out with Pooh or Joy and watching their shenanigans! Check Out Winnie the Pooh’s Holiday Makeover Here!

There’s something so special about picking out a MagicBand in Disney World! Toy Story 25th Anniversary MagicBand They’re such a fun part of a Disney vacation, and there are so many colors and patterns to choose from! Even though they’ll no longer be free with a resort reservation in 2021, we’re still seeing Disney rolling out new designs. Today we found a new MagicBand in Disney World that cat lovers are sure to appreciate! We spotted the Dooney & Bourke Disney Cats MagicBand in Legends of Hollywood at Disney’s Hollywood Studios today. Isn’t it just purr-ific?! Disney Cats MagicBand Featuring cats from various Disney movies, this MagicBand was made for the feline fanatics! It’s a limited edition of 2000 though, so those who want one will need to snag it fast. Disney Cats MagicBand This new band will cost you $58, and we spotted it in Legends of Hollywood, but we’ll be on the lookout for it to show up in other stores at Disney World. Disney Cats MagicBand The new design matches Dooney’s latest round of bags that we spotted in the parks not too long ago. Cat Dooney We love all the little details like the “it’s a small world” bowl!

It may be something of an off-and-on overcast day in Disney World, but it’s a SUNSHINE DAY in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Sunshine Day Bar That’s because Sunshine Day Bar has reopened to guests! Sunshine Day Bar is located on Sunset Boulevard, right near eateries including Rosie’s All-American Café, Anaheim Produce, and Hollywood Scoops that all come together to create Sunset Ranch Market. Sunshine Day Bar was previously known as Sunshine Day Café (and, before that, the spot served as Toluca Legs Turkey Company). Sunshine Day Bar But now it’s back to offering what had become its standard menu prior to the Walt Disney World closures: a few signature cocktails — the Cherry Blossom, Southside Fizz, and Blackberry Moonshine Lemonade — along with a full bar. Sunshine Day Bar Menu We learned that they are considering today as a soft open for Sunshine Day, and right now it’s looking like the spot will typically be open Fridays through Sundays (though that’s always subject to change). Take a closer look at the sips at Sunshine Day Bar here! And you may recall that Sunshine Day Bar was already something of a seasonal location. We’ve certainly noticed that there has been a line at the nearby Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge on most of our recent visits, so having another option will definitely be a good thing, especially for this busier holiday season! For now, we’re wishing you a sunshine-y day from the Sunshine Day Bar in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox! Click here to Subscribe!

We’ve seen LOTS of news about Hong Kong Disneyland this year. ©Disney Hong Kong Disneyland was among the earlier parks to close due to the COVID-19 outbreak, originally shutting down in January 2020. The park reopened in June only to close again in July because of a rise in Coronavirus cases in the area. On September 25th, the park reopened for a second time, remaining open for the last two months. Disney CEO Bob Chapek reported that Hong Kong Disneyland was one of the parks to actually achieve a net positive contribution in Q4, AND the park recently unveiled its Castle of Magical Dreams. But now, things are changing at Hong Kong Disneyland again as Disney has announced that the park will closing for a third time this year. We began to hear reports that the park may close again due to a rise in COVID-19 case numbers, but those rumors have just been confirmed with an official announcement from Disney Parks News via Twitter. As the announcement notes, Hong Kong Disneyland will be temporarily closing again on December 2nd “as required by the government and in line with preventative efforts taking place across Hong Kong.” No reopening date has specifically been set. Instead, Disney has noted that it is in close contact with health authorities and the government and will announce a reopening date once they determine it is advisable. ©Disney via Disney Parks News on Twitter The park is also scheduled to be closed on December 1st. So, the park will essentially be temporarily closed from now until a reopening date is officially set. The Hong Kong Disneyland website has also been updated to reflect this temporary closure. ©Disney We’ll keep an eye on any further news about Hong Kong Disneyland, as well as the other international parks. At the moment, Walt Disney World Resort, Shanghai Disneyland, and Tokyo Disney Resort are open. Disneyland Resort in California is currently unable to reopen under the state’s theme park reopening guidelines. Disneyland Paris reopened earlier this year, but has recently closed for a second time due to Coronavirus cases in France, and has announced that it will be closed throughout the holiday season.
