We’ve been doing a bit of a construction round-up as we’ve looked at EPCOT’s Harmonious, the possible “La Gelateria” in the Italy Pavilion, and the expansion of the France Pavilion. Millennium Falcon Buuut, we’re hopping over to a galaxy far, far away to take a look at everything happening over at the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser near Disney’s Hollywood Studios! The upcoming Star Wars Resort (which will give more of a cruise-like experience) has been a priority in Disney World on top of the massive amount of projects in the works right now. When it’s completed, the hotel will lead directly to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge as guests journey into their own Star Wars story during their two night stay. There hasn’t been too much news on when the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser will be opening since the construction schedule shifted with the park closures earlier this year. However, we will keep checking back for more progress updates and any additional details on the Star Wars hotel’s grand opening! Check out everything new happening in Disney’s Hollywood Studios here!

Jambo from Animal Kingdom, everyone! Every time we are in the parks, we have been spending our time eating Simba pretzels and exploring the unique decorations around each area. Tree of Life But, we’re putting Christmas and snacks on halt today because it’s time to cuddle some animals! Affection Section has been closed since Disney’s Animal Kingdom re-opened, but the petting zoo has now opened to guests again with additional health and safety measures. And, we’re taking you with us to check out the new protocols and to see some sweet goats, sheep, and more! As you head over to Rafiki’s Planet Watch, you can find the Affection Section near the Conservation Station in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Although it can be a relaxing place to pop over to when the parks are getting busy… Conservation Station …many guests were just as excited as we were to return back to the petting zoo! The line to enter the Affection Section was long (but distanced), and moved fairly quickly as guests made their way through each area. Affection Section Queue Hand-sanitizing stations, hand-washing stations, and distancing measures were used at the Affection Section, where Cast Members asked guests to pet the animals from the shoulders back as a safety precaution. Animal Kingdom Cast Member And, we couldn’t wait to finally greet everyone after being gone for so long! We found out some fun facts about the animals we encountered, like this Katahdin sheep that’s native to the state of Maine. While sheep usually have wool, this one actually has hair and sheds like a dog! Katahdin Sheep In case you thought that Disney’s Animal Kingdom couldn’t get any cooler, the older herd of goats have 80’s pop culture names, like Bueller, McFly, and Princess Leia. On the other hand, the younger crowd of goats are named after 90’s icons like Buffy, Topanga, and Phoebe! Goats We also got to meet Daisy, who was born back in January! She’s never been around guests before, so Cast Members were helping her learn how to meet new friends for the first time. Daisy! While many of the animals we got to see were happy to be around people again (we missed you guys too)… Hello, Friend! …the Affection Section also had different ramps, houses, bridges, and more for them to play on too! Animal Ramps in the Affection Section Oh, how we’ve missed seeing all the sweet animals at the Affection Section! We’re so glad that this part of Disney’s Animal Kingdom has re-opened to guests again. And, we’ll be sure to update you on the other new and returning entertainment we find around Disney World!

We have to say it: We miss Disney fireworks more than anything right now. Although nighttime spectaculars are on pause right now, EPCOT has still been moving forward with the construction on Harmonious! ©Disney Although the show was originally supposed to open in spring of this year, progress was delayed when the parks first closed. Now, EPCOT has put barges in place as permits state that more materials are being gathered and fireworks will be tested throughout the end of 2021. Thanks to @bioreconstruct, we’ve also been able to get a look at the giant center screen that could include water projection elements similar to the World of Color in Disneyland. On either side of the center barge, there are rotating arms that will lend to the special effects of the nighttime spectacular… The show will feature fireworks, lasers, dancing, fountains, and massive floating set pieces as “reinterpreted” Disney music connects the fans that are watching. As we continue to look at the progress on Harmonious, we’ll keep you updated on all of EPCOT’s upcoming projects!

EPCOT has been busy all weekend long with guests heading to the parks for Christmas entertainment (and probably to melt over the two new Karamell-Küche cookies and returning Frozen 2 Sipper). Frozen 2 Sipper Although the park is a HOT spot for construction right now, we’re narrowing our focus over to the Italy Pavilion! After construction walls popped up in the area, we’ve seen permits filed by the Pantina Restaurant Group for the “La Gelateria” Gelato Cart. Last year, we got a hint of what was to come with the announcement that the cart would have 12 different varieties of gelato and sorbet, including gluten-friendly and plant-based flavors. While Disney hasn’t announced this construction project happening in EPCOT, the construction in the Italy Pavilion has continued to move forward. The area is located off to the right of the pavilion, where construction workers have been working hard at the new project! In this Twitter post by @bioreconstruct, you can see a great aerial view of the work. According to the permit that we’ve seen filed for the Gelato Cart, the expiration date listed was on December 31st, 2021. Since work likely won’t be completed until the end of next year, we’ll continue to keep you updated on any changes for the upcoming Gelato Cart!

We don’t know about you, but we’ve really been enjoying the holidays at Disney Springs! Disney Springs We popped into Disney Springs recently to see the latest food and merchandise, so here are all the updates! Disney Springs Food Updates Vivoli Il Gelato We stopped by Vivoli il Gelato to see what new goodies they’re serving, and we spotted a sign for Cotton Candy Affogato. We’re totally going to have to try it out at some point! Vivoli Il Gelato Sign This is a treat made of your choice of gelato with espresso, cotton candy, and whipped cream. SUGAR RUSH, HERE WE COME! Check out our review for the Tramisu Bombolato at Vivoli il Gelato The Ganachery Speaking of sugar rushes, The Ganachery has some new truffles! The Ganachery We spotted the Mint, Pistachio, and Egg Nog. The mint and pistachio feature dark chocolate on the outside. NOM. The Ganachery As you can tell, the Egg Nog flavor is pretty popular! Here’s our review of the Egg Nog Fudge in Disney World Marketplace Snacks We tried the Jolly Holiday Float at Marketplace Snacks and it had us feeling like we were floating in the sky with Mary Poppin’s umbrella — it’s that good! Jolly Holiday Float at Disney Springs This wonderful float is made with vanilla soft serve, cranberry juice, and a shot of vodka. This is our kind of boozy holiday drink. It’s $14.25, although you can get a non-alcoholic version for $5.99. Read our review of the Jolly Holiday Float We also spotted the new Starbucks Parks Tumblers and Ornaments here. Starbucks Parks Tumblers and Ornaments There’s a tumbler for Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom! We love these! Get a closer look at one of the new Starbucks Parks Tumblers Polite Pig We had to stop into Polite Pig to check out the new Bourbon Blueberry Smash, but we also discovered a new item on the food menu, the Chef’s Special, so we had both! Polite Pig Chef’s Special and Bourbon Blueberry Smash And we liked both and even thought the Chef’s Special was a good high-quality meal, especially for a quick-service location. The drink was $11 and the meal was $20. Read our full review of the Bourbon Blueberry Smash and the Chef’s Special B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Co. When we heard that B.B. Wolf’s was serving a drink called the Jägerpunsch, we knew we had to try it out. This drink is Malibu Coconut Rum, Jägermeister, pineapple juice, and grenadine. Oh, yeah! Jagerpunsch with Holiday Display at Disney Springs However, this drink didn’t pack as much “punsch” as we thought it would (the taste of the Jägermeister was weak), but if you want a fun holiday drink that isn’t too strong, this might be the one for you! It’s $13. Read our review of the Jägerpunsch Aristocrepes The Sweet Potato Pie Bubble Waffle certainly sounded intriguing, so we decided to give it a taste. This is a sweet potato bubble waffle topped with vanilla ice cream, toasted marshmallow, candied pecans, caramel sauce, and cinnamon. Aristocrepes Sweet Potato Pie Bubble Waffle However, we didn’t really feel like this tasted much like sweet potato pie. But this waffle, which was $8.99, was still SUPER yummy and perfect for the holidays! Read our review of the Sweet Potato Pie Bubble Waffle Starbucks The Starbucks at Disney Springs Marketplace is always coming up with some cool limited time drinks, and this time, we spotted a new one called the Melted Snowman. This is a vanilla bean frappuccino with a Cake Pop blended in and topped with mocha and caramel drizzle. Melted Snowman Yes, the cake pop is BLENDED into the drink and we really like the texture of it, as well as getting sips that included cake bits and frosting. This drink is $9.10 which includes the extra cost for the cake pop. Read our review of the Melted Snowman Disney Springs Merchandise Updates World of Disney We spotted two AWESOME new collectible vinyl figures in World of Disney, including one of Mr. Toad!!! He’s ready to take one wild ride! Mr. Toad Figure But we also spotted a Walt and Mickey Partners Statue Figure! Walt and Mickey Figure These figures based on classic Disney are $29.99 each.

It might be a very busy day in EPCOT, but it’s still a good one as we’ve been waving to our favorite characters and snacking on TWO new cookies at the Germany Pavilion! Salted Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookie But, we’ve also spotted a returning item that has flurried into the park, just in time for the holidays! While we were walking near the Imagination Pavilion and The Land, we spotted a familiar tumbler near one of the beverage carts. Since EPCOT will be getting a bit of a Frozen makeover with Olaf’s Holiday Tradition Expedition, the Frozen 2 Sipper has moved to a new spot for Christmastime this year! Frozen 2 Sipper Previously, we’ve seen the sipper at Kringla Bakeri og Cafe with the Frozen Orange Cream Soda during the holiday season last year. Guests visiting the cart are able to get the Frozen 2 Sipper with their choice of a fountain drink or a slush for $11.50. We decided to switch things up this time around with the Raspberry Lemonade Slush (pro tip: you can swirl slush flavors) inside the sipper that features Elsa on one side… Frozen 2 Sipper — Elsa …and Olaf looking like a sweetie on the other, along with the Frozen 2 logo! The Frozen 2 Sipper has a stand on the bottom and a straw so you can set your drink down while you admire EPCOT’s atmosphere. Frozen 2 Sipper — Olaf As we keep making our way around the park today, we’ll keep you updated on everything happening around EPCOT and the rest of Disney World! More sushi, less noodles!

EPCOT is the place to be when it comes to delicious snacks. Karamell-Küche With the Food and Wine Festival still going on, and the Festival of the Holidays on the horizon, we’re bound to see several new eats soon! But today, our treats are from a year-round World Showcase favorite! We’re talking about Karamell Kuche in the Germany Pavilion! Today, we spotted TWO brand new cookies, and of course we had to try them! We found the Chocolate S’more Cookie and the Salted Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookie, both drizzled in Werther’s caramel. Karamell Kuche Cookies The Chocolate S’more Cookie was very rich and dense. We think this could be shared amongst a group because of the richness. However, this is a chocolate-lovers dream! Karamell Kuche Cookies This was almost brownie-like on the inside and graham cracker bits were sprinkled on top for that s’more feel. If you like chocolate and caramel together, you’ve got to try this one. You can grab it now for $4.59. Chocolate S’more Cookie The standout was the Salted Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookie. This had a very nice crunch to it with the bits of pretzel. We even discovered toffee bits on the inside! Salted Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookie Anyone who loves a classic cookie will enjoy this. Although it is unique with the pretzel and toffee, this is an absolutely delicious and traditional cookie. If you are a chocolate fan, there was not too much chocolate in here, so you might want to try a different treat! Salted Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookie The caramel on top is the highlight of each cookie, which is no surprise considering where it comes from! Overall, we loved these treats and we recommend you go check them out for yourself. We will continue to try the latest treats we find around Disney World!

It’s a busy weekend in Disney World as more crowds head back to the parks and the capacity is increased to 35%! EPCOT Since the holiday season has officially kicked off, we’re all excited to see new entertainment, treats, and merchandise sweeping their way across Disney World. While EPCOT will be getting some Christmas magic with the return of the Festival of the Holidays at the end of the month, there was an unexpectedly big line in the World Showcase today. EPCOT is seeing a lot of guests visiting the park for the end of the Food and Wine Festival and holiday experiences! But, Christmas wasn’t calling this time around because guests in EPCOT were really game for some margs and Mexican food instead. Mexico Pavilion At the Mexico Pavilion, the line to enter the pyramid stretched all the way past the building and wrapped around the rest of pavilion. When we asked how long of a wait it would be to get inside the pyramid, we were told a WHOPPING 2.5 hours (!!!). Although guests were socially distanced from one another with markers… Mexico Pavilion Queue …the Cast Members nearby were turning additional guests away since the pyramid was at capacity. Mexico Pavilion Queue If you’re heading to EPCOT today and you’re craving some tequila or fajitas from the Mexico Pavilion, you might need to rethink your plans with the long line! Since the queue could change throughout the day, we recommend checking back if you have your heart set on visiting the pyramid. As we make our way around the park, we’ll be sure to give you a look at everything happening in EPCOT today! You HAVE to check out this huge menu news over in the Japan Pavilion!

For those of us who have been anxiously awaiting the reopening of Tokyo Dining in Disney World, we have some exciting menu news to share! Unless of course you were particularly attached to ramen, in which case…brace yourself. Japan Pavilion The Japanese restaurant in Epcot’s World Showcase has remained closed, but with a BUNCH of new menu tweaks, we’re crossing our fingers — and our chopsticks! — that a reopening is imminent! We’re big fans of Tokyo Dining for its pristine sushi and warming miso soup. Yes, even in the Florida humidity, miso soup hits the spot! And as one of the remaining holdouts for reopening, we’ve DEFINITELY had a hankering! Outside Sign Whether or not the lunch and dinner restaurant is indeed gearing up to return soon, they’ve made some pretty MAJOR menu changes that seems they’re whittling things down. Which makes sense if they’re preparing to operate with limited capacity and customers! Outside View Across the board, for both lunch and dinner menus, selections from appetizers, sushi, and desserts have been reduced, and here’s the shocker: they’ve done away with ramen — and noodles in general — entirely! Also, no children’s meals or Bento Boxes! Pause for audible gasp! Vegetable Naveyaki Udon For starters, it looks like they’re focusing on lighter, healthier fare, as Tokyo Dining has done away with fried appetizers (say bye bye to Spicy Calamari Tempura, Chicken Karaage, and Adedashi Tofu) and swapped in a delicious-sounding Salmon Poke Bowl with sushi rice, cubed salmon, ikura (aka that boba-looking salmon roe), cucumber, wasabi dressing, pickled ginger, and furikake, an umami-rich Japanese seasoning. Spicy Tempura Calamari There’s also the Sunomono Salad, which is their take on seaweed salad dressed with sesame seeds and pickled cucumbers. And that miso soup we’ve been hankering for? They’ve replaced the vegetable and clam versions with a single version made with tofu and green onion for! Miso Soup at Tokyo Dining in Epcot Sushi selections have also changed a LOT! Items missing are the Eel Nigiri and ALL the Classic Rolls! Instead, they’re concentrating on four Specialty Rolls, including altered versions of the Volcano Roll, which now features yellowtail, salmon, smelt roe, arare crunch, and spicy mayo, compared to the previous version with shrimp, scallops, and Volcano sauce. Sushi Selections The Spicy Crunchy Roll, California Roll, and Vegetable Roll remain, but the Rainbow Roll, Sunshine Salmon Roll, Citrus Shrimp Roll, and Yuzu Ginger Beef Roll are no more! For sashimi, the Fresh Sashimi Sampler now has tuna, salmon, and yellowtail, and there’s five pieces of Bluefin Tuna! Fresh Sashimi Sampler Since Tokyo Dining is clearly all about sushi nowadays, that means the cooked entrees, in addition to those dearly departed noodles, are also gone! So…no more Vegetable Tempura plates, Teriyaki Butter Grilled Chicken, Wasabi Shrimp, or Japanese-Style Sirloin! Filet Mignon Lastly, for dessert, it’s time for a mousse makeover! What was once Green Tea Mousse or Ginger Mousse Cake is now a Mango Mousse Cake with mango-flavored sponge cake, mango mousse filling, and mango glaze. Suffice to say, it’s mango-tastic! Ginger Mousse Cake There’s also a Chocolate Tofu Mousse, made with creamy dark chocolate and silken tofu with white chocolate and strawberry! And while the Soft-Serve Ice Cream is off the menu, you can fill the void with Matcha Tiramisu, which has green tea cream, raspberry, and cake-y Baumkuchen. Epcot As sushi-lovers, we’re THRILLED to see some of these fresh changes! Although we will miss the ramen and bento boxes, we’ll just have to wait until they open to taste the new items for ourselves! We will continue to keep you updated on the latest menu changes in Disney World. Fear not, ramen-lovers! Get your fix at this Disney Springs restaurant!

It’s been a ROUGH year for Disney, not only for the fans, but especially for the impassioned Cast Members. Cast Members Cleaning in Disney World This is especially apparent at Disneyland, where the park remains closed (with no reopening date in sight) and where layoffs and furloughs keep piling up. What Disneyland needs now more than ever is a glimmer of hope and optimism, and we found precisely that! Through the struggles and layoffs that have impacted Disney this year, one thing we LOVE to see is the outpouring of support for Cast Members, and all the AMAZING and creative ways that people are helping! Magic Kingdom Cast Members in Costume Look no further than Cast Member Pantry, a non-profit created to help former Disney Cast Members who are struggling due to layoffs, which is NOW officially available in California! @castmemberpantry The heartwarming resource has been a HUGE boon for Disney Cast Members in Florida, and now it’s available for Disneyland folks in need! Here’s a list of Disney Cast Member-owned businesses you can support! Here’s how it works: scroll through their Amazon wishlist where you can purchase Visa gift cards, Amazon gift cards, GrubHub gift cards, and numerous other helpful resources to donate to Disneyland Cast Members. Easy as pie! And a great way to support employees in need when it’s most important. Disneyland at Christmas At a time when so many have lost their jobs, and in the spirit of Thanksgiving, it’s also the perfect way to give back during this season of giving!

When Buena Vista Street reopens next Thursday, November 19th, it’ll be the first time Disneylanders step food inside the parks in some capacity in over eight months! With the exception of the Stage 17 Backlot Premiere Shop, the parks have been totally off-limits as California is keeping its larger theme parks closed for the time being. Disney California Adventure Park Besides the fact that we’ll be able to take in the sights and sounds of Buena Vista Street next week, there are some incredible returning FOOD items that are a HUGE deal to us! Carthay Circle Lounge – Alfresco Dining Let’s kick things off with the new Alfresco Dining experience at Carthay Circle Lounge. Their outdoor seating is being expanded in BIG ways to offer guests the opportunity to dine on a menu of small plates of Mediterranean-California light types of food created by Chefs Andrew Sutton and Alex Flores. Carthay Circle Lounge While the menu will feature new items, it will also highlight some returning dishes, including the Duck Confit Empanadas and their Vietnamese Twice-cooked Beef Tacos. Vietnamese Twice-cooked Beef Tacos The lounge will also serve some of California Adventure’s signature cocktails, like Pimm’s Punch, the Carthay Martini, and a Classic Gin and Tonic. Pimm’s Punch You’ll definitely want to make sure you grab a reservation for Carthay Circle Lounge — Alfresco Dining ahead of your visit to Buena Vista Street! Click here to learn more about what to expect at Carthay Circle Lounge — Alfresco Dining Award Wieners While we’re super stoked to step into California Adventure, we couldn’t help but notice that Buena Vista Street doesn’t QUITE extend that far into the park, so several beloved dining locations are omitted from this initial reopening, mainly Corn Dog Castle. In the world of Disneyland snacks, the corn dog is by far one of the most iconic eats you can get! Hand Dipped Corn Dog The corn dog gods must have heard our prayers because Corn Dog Castle’s menu is coming to Award Wieners! Cue happy dance! Cheese Stick Corn Dog That’s right, starting next week we will at long last be reunited with the Original Corn Dog, Hot Link Corn Dogs, Cheddar Cheese Sticks, and Apple Pie Funnel Cake Fries! Apple Pie Funnel Cake Fries While we’re looking forward to more of Award Wieners‘ regular menu coming to Buena Vista Street, we’re OVER THE MOON that Disney decided to bring Corn Dog Castle’s items over for us to enjoy sooner! Click here to learn more about Award Wiener’s Corn Dog Castle-inspired menu Smokejumpers Grill Another counter service location that will reopen as part of Buena Vista Street is Smokejumpers Grill! Located in Grizzly Peak, their menu is looking a little trimmed down for its initial reopening phase. Smokejumpers Grill Fans of their Bacon Cheddar Burger will be happy to know that it will be returning next week! But we’ll have to wait a bit longer before we can dig into their Signature Mac and Cheese as well as their Chili Cheese Fries, both of which are not included on the menu at this time. Bacon Cheddar Burger And while we aren’t spotting Seasonal Shakes on the menu quite yet, they WILL be serving classic Chocolate and Vanilla shakes. Minty Yule Log Shake Fingers crossed that they’ll bring back their over-the-top shakes in the coming weeks and months. We wouldn’t mind sipping on a Snickerdoodle Milkshake again, or perhaps a Minty Yule Log Shake in time for the holidays! Fiddler, Fifer & Practical Cafe If you need a little pick-me-up during your trip to Buena Vista Street, you’ll be happy to know that Fiddler, Fifer & Practical Cafe will be open! This cozy corner cafe is California Adventure’s flagship Starbucks location, serving your favorite lattes and cold brews. Fun fact: did you know that this was the first location to serve Starbucks inside a Disney park? Fiddler, Fifer & Practical Cafe While we don’t yet know for sure if Fiddler, Fifer & Practical Cafe will be serving any specialty items, we did spot “Seasonal Cupcake” on the menu…so maybe we’ll spot a holiday treat or two! Last year they this location had a Mickey Gingerbread Man as well as a Holiday Brownie, so only time will tell! Mickey Gingerbread Man from 2019 @ Disneyland Regardless, we are looking forward to once again starting our day on Buena Vista Street with a hot cup of coffee! Click here to take a look at the new Disneyland and California Adventure Starbucks tumbler mugs! Trolley Treats And last but CERTAINLY not least, we cannot wait to buy one of EVERYTHING at Trolley Treats! Trolley Treats at Disney California Adventure While we’ve been able to enjoy Marceline’s Confectionary in Downtown Disney to stuff our bellies with Churro Toffee and Caramel Apples, we wouldn’t be lying if we told you that we’re REALLY looking forward to enjoying these treats inside a park once again. Churro Toffee We haven’t heard if Disneyland will be selling their hand-pulled Candy Canes this holiday season, but we’re pretty confident that no matter what Trolley Treats is serving, we’ll be gobbling all of it down. Click here to learn more about what dining reservations could look like at Buena Vista Street WOW! From Churro Toffee to Corn Dogs, there is plenty to look forward to when Buena Vista Street reopens next week! Disneyland is full of amazing snacks that we’ve missed TONS since the parks closed back in March. Be sure to follow along as we eat our way through Buena Vista Street!

As fans of the Disney parks, we know it takes a team of dedicated Cast Members working both “on stage” and behind the scenes to make the magic happen. Sleeping Beauty Castle One of the things that sets Disney parks apart is the incredible attention to detail throughout the attractions, as well as the restaurants and stores throughout the parks.
