The November collection of the Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction is almost here, and it’s based on the punniest attraction — the Jungle Cruise! Jungle Cruise After dropping collections based on other beloved Disney attractions like Pirates of the Caribbean, Mad Tea Party, and Peter Pan’s Flight, it’s finally the Jungle Cruise’s turn! This collection of items will be available online soon, and Disney just released the details on how and when to score the MerchPass! The MerchPass entries for the Jungle Cruise collection will open starting at 7AM PT on November 17th. If it’s anywhere near as popular as the other collections, then you’ll definitely want to try and score that MerchPass. MerchPass information The list of items this time includes a pair of Minnie ears, a Minnie Mouse plush, a mug, a set of pins, and a Loungefly backpack. Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction — Jungle Cruise Disney started the MerchPass system earlier this year in an attempt to prevent site-wide crashes on shopDisney when new merchandise was released. The system is essentially a lottery that allows some people to have early access to shop the merch. If you’d like more information on how MerchPass works, you can check out this page! Jungle Cruise We’ll be on the lookout for more news on this collection!

We’re less than a year away from Disney World’s 50th Anniversary! Can you believe it? Cinderella Castle We’re thinking that the anniversary could be a pretty busy event, after all, LOTS of Disney fans might want to celebrate this momentous occasion IN the Magic Kingdom! Now, Disney Park Passes for Magic Kingdom are already GONE for some guests! Take a look! We were checking in on Park Pass Availability next October when we noticed that Magic Kingdom Park Passes are unavailable for Annual Passholders on October 1st — that’s the actual 50th Anniversary! Screenshot This is pretty crazy considering Annual Passholders are limited to three reservations at a time. So, these folks are essentially limited themselves to two at a time until October 2021 rolls around. WOW! Magic Kingdom Now, we’ve seen restocks happen for busy times before AND things might be very different in terms of capacity limitations next year. We’ll be keeping a close eye on Park Pass availability around the 50th so stay tuned for the latest updates! Click here for what we can expect for the 50th Anniversary!

Over the past eight weeks, I’ve had the pleasure of sharing my insights about National Geographic’s “Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom” on Disney+. While it feels a little bittersweet as we mark the final episode in this phenomenal series, I’m so proud of our cast for giving viewers a peek behind the curtain to show how we care for animals and connect our guests to the magic of nature. You’ve seen our vet teams, aquarists, keepers and educators in action, but behind-the-scenes, our science, education and conservation teams are supporting the care of our animals every step of the way. From studying which forms of enrichment activities each animal likes best, to monitoring hormonal levels in a pregnant female white rhino, our work is grounded in science so we can ensure we’re meeting the needs of each individual animal and giving them the very best care. Check out what it was like for the team to learn white rhino Kendi was expecting a baby, which resulted in the birth of our now weeks-old male white rhino: As you can see, science requires teamwork, and sometimes includes smelly situations. Animal keeper Jess is committed to her work, even when the task at hand requires rolling up her sleeves and digging in to collect samples. All photos in this story were captured previously during filming for “Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom.” Jess, and all our keepers, work closely with the science team, who have expertise in areas such as endocrinology, field research and behavioral science. In fact, many of our science and conservation team cast have PhDs in biology and conservation and regularly share their learnings with the zoological community around the world. Their knowledge has been invaluable to our work with species survival plans at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. With our most recent rhino birth, Science Operations Director Dr. Mandi and Research Manager Dr. Shana closely watched Kendi’s hormone levels and how she was behaving before, during and after her pregnancy. Prior to working at Disney, both Dr. Mandi and Dr. Shana spent years teaching doctoral and masters students about biology. Dr. Mandi is a specialist in reproductive health, and Dr. Shana got a hands-on start early in her career as a veterinary technician before her path eventually brought her to Disney as a scientist, where she monitors hormones in our animals. Science in the field also relies on great observational skills to ensure animals are thriving in their environments. A keen eye for details is exactly how the primate team discovered western lowland gorilla infant Grace needed a little extra help meeting her developmental milestones, such as climbing. So, they brought in the help of occupational therapists to evaluate Grace and suggest new training the team could do with her to build her muscles, coordination and confidence. Grace is now holding her own with the rest of the troop and getting stronger each day. Want to see more behind-the-scenes sneak peeks from our scientists? You can hear from our research team in next week’s edition of #AskDrMark on Instagram (@DrMarkAtDisney). And be sure to download this week’s activity guide which allows you to capture and share your own wildlife story that takes place out in nature near you. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/nmB_Mn2d49oView the full article

Gideon’s Bakehouse Construction This spot is known for some MASSIVE and DELICIOUS cookies and now we KNOW it will open before the end of the year – with holiday cookies!

Recently, we noticed that the upcoming spot was included in holiday offerings and now it’s confirmed that the spot will open sometime prior to December 31st.

Triple Chocolate Cookie The first cookie is the Santa’s White Christmas Cookie, a white chocolate chip cookie with notes of coconut, sweet caramel, vanilla, and nutty flavors.

It’s no secret that we here at DFB LOVE the Christmas snacks! Fa La La La Funnel Cake In fact, we’ve tried A LOT of them in the past few days, and we’re still on board to try even more! On a visit to Magic Kingdom today, we stopped by Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe to try the new mini Christmas Churros We have seen these on Mobile Order a few times, but every time they weren’t ready just yet. Today, they finally were available. Before we even made it to the restaurant, we had to place our Mobile Order. Pecos Bill is one of many counter service restaurants at Disney World that is requesting guests order their food using the My Disney Experience app. Christmas Churros for Mobile Order from Pecos Bill The churros were listed on the menu for $5.89 with a photo of what to expect. They’re served with chocolate sauce! Mobile Ordering from Pecos Bill Once our food was ready, we stepped inside to pick it up. These guys looked golden and delicious! They’re topped with red and green sugar to give that Christmas touch much like the mini Halloween churros we had just a few weeks ago. Christmas churros These little churro bites were nice and warm — crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside! They were well-loaded with cinnamon and sugar, which really enhanced the flavor. Christmas churros The chocolate sauce was pre-packaged and pretty messy, so if you plan on dipping, make sure to grab some napkins! Christmas churros We like the size of the churros, having several mini churros makes it a lot easier to share with friends and family. We think that your kids would especially love this snack! As long as these are fresh, we think they’re a great and yummy snack option. They aren’t the most festive things…I mean it’s just some colored sprinkles, but churros are still the bomb nonetheless.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen Christmas and holiday decor pop up all around Walt Disney World! Christmas decorations in Magic Kingdom It started in the parks and recently began spreading to the resorts, with decorations going up yesterday at Bay Lake Tower and Wilderness Lodge. Today, the fanciest of the Disney resorts has gotten its holiday makeover! Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa now has their over-the-top decor, but they’re missing something BIG this year! Upon arriving at the resort, we could tell we were in for a treat when we saw the elegant garland lining the walkway to the lobby entrance! It really just puts us in the holiday mood! Christmas decor at the Grand Floridian Everything is so detailed — ornaments, bows, and foliage in every nook and cranny. Christmas decor at the Grand Floridian Our first glimpse of the lobby really had that “Wow!” factor! This whole hotel just exudes holiday cheer. Christmas decor at the Grand Floridian We, of course, had to get a closer glimpse at the MASSIVE Christmas tree in the middle of the lobby. Guests were already gathering around to take photos with it. Christmas tree at the Grand Floridian Even the ornaments on the tree match the “grand” vibe of this hotel! Christmas ornaments This antique-looking ornament with the dolls particularly caught our eye. Christmas ornaments You don’t realize how tall that tree really is until you stand right underneath it! Good luck getting the whole thing in your family photo! Grand Floridian Christmas tree As we headed upstairs to get a better look, we noticed that the signature staircase had been lined with festive garland as well. Grand Floridian Christmas decorations We also spotted these swan wreaths donning the walls — we love how unique they are! Grand Floridian Christmas decorations When looking at the lobby from above, we began to realize just how much we miss the giant gingerbread house display that usually arrives here for Christmastime! It won’t be here this year, but we’re hoping for it to return in 2021. Grand Floridian Christmas decorations Even without the gingerbread house, this lobby really looks magnificent! We love the way that Disney goes all-out for the holidays! Grand Floridian Christmas decorations As more Disney resorts add Christmas decorations, we’ll be sure to keep you updated! This is truly the most magical time of the year to visit Walt Disney World, and we love sharing the details with all of you! Check Out the Christmas Decorations at Wilderness Lodge!

‘Tis the season to eat all the festive eats and drink all the festive drinks, are we right? Starbucks Holiday Cup We’ve already tried a LOT of the holiday drinks at Starbucks throughout Disney Parks, but we saw one returning item that we just HAD to try out today at Starbucks at Disney Springs Marketplace! Back in the summer, we saw the Melted Snowman on the menu at Starbucks, and the mention of a cake pop certainly had us intrigued. Well, that drink has returned! Starbucks Menu The Melted Snowman is a vanilla bean frappuccino with a Cake Pop BLENDED IN topped with mocha and caramel drizzle. That’s right, the cake pop is INSIDE THE frappuccino. Apparently, this is all the rage on Tik Tok, but that doesn’t necessarily make for a good drink, right? Melted Snowman However, we’re happy to report that the cake pop actually adds in a nice bit of texture, and we loved the sips that gave us pieces of cake and frosting. YUM. The caramel drizzle was also particularly good, especially when we mixed it into the rest of the drink. In fact, we would have totally loved more caramel flavor. Melted Snowman Although we did like this drink, we still prefer the Sleighin’ Snowman more that we previously ordered from here — we just feel like holiday drinks should have peppermint in them! The Melted Snowman costs $9.10 total (and that includes an extra charge for the cake pop). This location always has some fun limited-time drinks, though, and we can’t wait to see what they come up with next. And we’ll be there to try everything out! See ALL Our Holiday Treat reviews here!

If you’ve ever attended a Dapper Day event at a Disney theme park, then you know that there are ways to make #Disneystyle VERY elegant! ©Dapper Day Disney has hopped on this trend by making fancy dresses and outfits themed to a variety of characters and movies. Recently, we’ve seen Ratatouille, Inside Out, and Minnie Mouse styles, among many others! And while Disney’s latest dress design may not feature any characters, it’s perfect for walking in a winter wonderland! When strolling through Magic Kingdom today, we made a stop in Uptown Jewelers. This place is a dress lover’s paradise, you guys! Uptown Jewelers We immediately noticed this White Winter dress on display! We’ve spotted this design in Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort, but this is the first time we’ve seen it in Walt Disney World. White Winter dress We love the details on this one, starting with the GORGEOUS silver and gold castle print at the bottom! White Winter dress There are snowflakes embroidered on the collar and the sash at the waist, in addition to little silver rhinestones. They give the dress a very wintery look. White Winter dress The back of the dress has a standard zipper, and the phrase “Just a touch of sparkle” is embroidered on the shoulder. Peep that hidden Mickey in the snowflake! White Winter dress If you’re interested in this beauty, it’ll set you back $128. Many of Disney’s fancier dresses typically run around that same price.

It’s a great day to be at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Rosie’s All-American Cafe We’re coming to you from Rosie’s All-American Café on Sunset Boulevard, where they’re serving up some new-to-Rosie’s BREAKFAST items. We say “new-to-Rosie’s,” because — as we mentioned when we noticed these newly listed items on Mobile Order this morning — we realized they looked quite familiar… You see, ABC Commissary served up breakfast for a brief spell earlier this spring. But, since the location reopened, breakfast has not been served. Rosie’s Current Breakfast Menu In speaking to a cast member at Rosie’s, they shared that it was understood that Hollywood Studios needed some breakfast options (especially since the park now opens as early as 9AM on some days). So they’re serving these items at Rosie’s All-American Cafe as part of a testing phase, and they plan to see how it goes. Mexican Corn Chilaquiles and Eggs And we can tell you how at least one thing is going, for sure, as we share with you our order of the Mexican Corn Chilaquiles and Eggs. Mexican Corn Chilaquiles and Eggs In short, things are going great with this dish, which is comprised of scrambled eggs and cilantro cream with fresh corn, black beans, caramelized onions, Poblano peppers, and chorizo with Ranchero sauce, house-fried tortillas, pico de gallo, avocado, and queso fresco. Mexican Corn Chilaquiles and Eggs The eggs are nice and fluffy — very fresh! All of the ingredients combine to pack a flavorful punch, and the portion is great for the price. ($9.49) Mexican Corn Chilaquiles and Eggs It’s quite filling, but in a good way with tons of chorizo. The chorizo, however, might deliver our only critique. Though flavorful, it was not spicy; we couldn’t pick up any heat. Mexican Corn Chilaquiles and Eggs Overall, though, we REALLY enjoyed this dish, and are hoping breakfast at Rosie’s sticks around as it is both very tasty and much needed. Remember, Rosie’s is also currently serving up the Smashed Avocado Toast and Egg and Fried Chicken and Cinnamon-Sugar French Doughnut. And the Cocina Breakfast is a plant-based option for the Chilaquiles dish, made with plant-based “eggs.” See our original review of the additional breakfast entrees here! So, as you can see, so far it’s been a great start to our day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. And it’s only just beginning, so stay tuned!

One of the best presents you can ever receive is a Disney Gift Card to use on all kinds of food or merchandise in the parks or online! Disney Gift Card Well, if you’ve got a lot of Disney Gift Cards laying around or connected on the Disney Gift Card website, there are some important changes coming soon that you need to know about. On January 20th, 2021, the Disney Gift Card website (DisneyGiftCard.com) will be upgraded. Once the updates is live, you’ll be able to use your existing Disney account to log in, using the same information you use to log in to multiple Disney websites including shopDisney, My Disney Experience, and more. ©shopDisney Because of this upgrade, however, all existing DisneyGiftCard.com account details (logins and gift cards added) will no longer be available after January 19, 2021. Any Disney Gift Cards you have saved to the existing website will NOT transfer over to the new one. Instead, all current account information will be deleted and won’t be available. You’ll need access to your Disney Gift Cards, including the full 16-digit account number and EAN to add your cards to the updated website once the change occurs. ©shopDisney While your gift card balance won’t change, any of the information about your gift cards that you had stored on the website will be deleted. The Disney Gift Card website specifically notes that your DisneyGiftCard.com account is not a mobile wallet and shouldn’t be considered or treated as one. You should ALWAYS keep your physical and digital Disney Gift Cards with you, as they are required to make a purchase. ©shopDisney So, here’s what you should do to make sure you’re prepared for this change: Collect all of your Disney Gift Cards (both physical and digital), and make sure you have access to their FULL 16-digit account numbers and EANs so you can upload them to the new website; If you no longer have the card that you saved to the Disney Gift Card website, you’ll need to transfer the balance(s) to a Gift Card that you do have available. If you don’t have another card to transfer your balance to, you can contact Disney Gift Card Services and provide the original gift card proof of purchase; Once the new website launches on January 20th, log in to the updated site using your existing Disney account (the one that you use on shopDisney, My Disney Experience, etc.) or create a new account if needed; and Visit the My Cards section of the updated website to add or combine cards in your account. ©shopDisney It’s definitely important to get all of your Disney Gift Card information now in advance of the website update. We’ll keep an eye out for more details about this change, and let you know what we find. Click here to see some of the awesome Disney Gift Card designs we found online!

Disney World has been following strict health and safety guidelines since the parks reopened. Guests are required to wear face masks and are required to have their temperature checked before entering the parks or Disney Springs. Tie-dye Mickey Face Mask A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), however, indicates that temperature screenings may not be as effective in pinpointing coronavirus cases as once believed. How did they reach this conclusion and what could this mean for Disney’s procedures? We’re breaking it down for you here. As we mentioned, before you enter a Disney Park and Disney Springs, your temperature is checked. Temperature checks have also been instituted in Disney World Resort hotel table service restaurants. But how effective is this at catching potential COVID-19 cases? The CDC has some thoughts on that based on a new study. Temperature Checks at the Polynesian Resort In January, with the support of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the CDC instituted “an enhanced entry risk assessment and management (screening) program” for passengers traveling by air and arriving from certain countries with high levels of COVID-19. The screening aimed to identify travelers with COVID-19 symptoms or who had a known exposure to someone with COVID-19 in order to separate them from others, among other goals. Temperature Check The screening had 3 steps (1) identifying travelers for screening if they had been during one of the specified countries with high levels of COVID; (2) a temperature check, looking for signs of the illness, and a questionnaire about signs and symptoms; and (3) referral of ill travelers for medical evaluation. Disney World Temperature Check Sign Between January 17th through September 13th, 2020, over 700,000 passengers were screened, of which only 298 met the criteria for public health assessment, 35 were tested for the coronavirus, and only 9 ultimately had a positive COVID-19 test result. The CDC recognized, that the low yield they saw in this study was likely due to several reasons including just a potential low COVID-19 prevalence in travelers and other factors. But the CDC also specifically noted that the “low case detection rate of this resource-intensive program highlighted the need for fundamental change in the U.S. border health strategy.” Temperature Checks Because COVID-19 “infection and transmission can occur in the absence of symptoms and because the symptoms of COVID-19 are nonspecific,” the CDC has determined that “symptom-based screening programs are ineffective for case detection.” Essentially, a person could be positive for COVID-19 and not have any symptoms (either because they are asymptomatic or perhaps presymptomatic), and so a symptom-based screening method (like a temperature check and symptom-based questionnaire) likely would not be able to identify that person as positive and screen them out. Temp Check In fact, the CDC noted that the findings from this study are consistent with some mathematical models which “suggest that most infected travelers would be undetected by symptom-based screening at airports.” Again, the CDC noted that there could be other factors at play in their study including reductions in travel during the early part of the pandemic (which may have discouraged symptomatic people from traveling), as well as certain limitations such as the fact that screening was limited to travelers from certain countries, and the fact that not all symptomatic travelers were referred for a health assessment because many COVID-19 symptoms are nonspecific. Temperature Checks Still, the CDC ultimately “recommended a shift from resource-intensive, low-yield, symptom-based screening of air travelers to an approach that better fits the current stage of the pandemic.” Since the screening program ended, the CDC notes that the efforts to reduce COVID-19 have focused more on enhancing communication with travelers to promote recommended preventative measures. The CDC also states that other things may help reduce the risk for COVID-19 transmission during travel, like “incorporating health attestations, predeparture and postarrival testing, and a period of limited movement after higher-risk travel.” Temperature Check So, what’s the main takeaway here? The CDC has now determined that “Symptom-based screening programs are ineffective because of the nonspecific clinical presentation of COVID-19 and asymptomatic cases.” Minnie Mouse at a Temperature Check What could that mean for Disney World? We’ll have to wait and see. Could we see temperature checks go away? We don’t think that’s likely, at least not in the immediate future. Although symptom-based screening programs, like temperature checks, may not be incredibly effective because they cannot screen out guests who are not presenting any symptoms, they can still catch the small number of guests who are ill and presenting some symptoms. International Gateway temperature checks Considering that Disney has repeatedly noted how it has been able to successfully and safely open its parks around the world, and the fact that no COVID-19 cases have been directly traced back to Disney World, it’s likely that Disney wants to keep things that way. And even if the temperature checks only effectively screen out a few guests, Disney may be thinking the effort is worth it to screen those out under the current procedures, rather than not at all — at least until a more effective and efficient system can be discovered. Temperature Screening But, that’s just our thoughts on the situation at this time. Of course, things at Disney (and all over the world) are always subject to change. As holiday crowds increase, it’s important to stay up to date with and follow all the guidelines set in place by Disney. Check back with us as we update you about future changes to safety procedures.
