We’ve already tried SO many holiday snacks, so we might as well add just one more to the list! HOLIDAY TREATS! Yesterday, we reported that the Fa La La La Funnel Cake arrived at Sleepy Hollow in Disney’s Magic Kingdom. This location is known for serving up all the delicious battered goodies: funnel cakes, waffles, and corn dogs! Today we stopped by to try out this holiday spin on one of their classic treats. This treat is definitely one of the most photogenic holiday snacks we’ve had so far! Those red and green Christmas sprinkles really pop against that HUGE mound of whipped cream! Beyond that…it’s a bit disappointing if you’re looking to mix it up. Fa La La La Funnel Cake It’s essentially the same funnel cake that was available at Sleepy Hollow before (powdered sugar, strawberry topping, and whipped cream), just with the added sprinkles. It’s even the same price at $7.99! We certainly don’t mind the sprinkles though — they add a nice festive touch! Fa La La La Funnel Cake The funnel cake itself was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, just the way you’d want it to be! The strawberry topping was nice and cold, so it added a great contrast to the warm funnel cake. Fa La La La Funnel Cake We honestly could’ve wished for just a tad more of the strawberries, but it was delicious nonetheless. It tasted exactly how you’d expect this treat to taste! Fa La La La Funnel Cake If you’re a fan of strawberries and funnel cakes, make sure to swing by Sleepy Hollow in Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Square. We imagine this treat will only be around for the holiday season, so you’ll want to get one before it ends! And keep checking DFB for more news on the latest holiday snacks around Disney World!

We noticed something a little different in Magic Kingdom today! We took a spin on Haunted Mansion to get our fix of ghouls and ghosties and noticed that something has changed. Haunted Mansion This attraction hasn’t quite been its regular old self since it reopened due to health and safety measures, but now it’s one step closer to normal. Since Magic Kingdom reopened back in July, Haunted Mansion has been home to more than just 999 haunts, you’ll also find health and safety measures like social distancing, a skipped pre-show (we miss you stretching room!), and more. Walking through The Stretching Room One measure had guests being boarded every other Doom Buggy (that’s the Mansion ride vehicle) so that there was a good amount of distance between one party and the next. Indoor Queue for Haunted Mansion When we rode this fan-favorite today, though, guests were being loaded into every Doom Buggy! This was especially prevalent in the Madame Leota room where we saw at least five Doom Buggies ahead of us, all full of guests. Madame Leota Sipper Cup We may see the Haunted Mansion line move a little quicker with this increase to capacity. This certainly is a step toward normal, but some changes are still in place. For instance, we still won’t get our iconic greeting from the Ghost Host as we stand around the Stretching Room.

Throughout 2020, the CDC has continued their research on the effectiveness of face coverings in their efforts to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The consensus for many months now has been that wearing proper a face covering is one of the key non-pharmaceutical interventions to protect those around you from catching the virus. Together Again and Tiki Room Face Mask Set Now, an updated brief from the CDC indicates that wearing a face covering could be as beneficial to the individual wearing the mask as it is to those around them. What is unknown at this time is whether the CDC’s findings could have any repercussions at Disney World, who has regularly updated and tightened down on their own face mask guidelines and policies. Evidence from the CDC, which was updated on their website on November 10th, states that “The prevention benefit of masking is derived from the combination of source control and personal protection for the mask wearer.” Face Mask Signage The long-standing consensus was that wearing proper face coverings would protect others from any particles you may be carrying. Now, the CDC is updated their language to clarify that wearing a face covering does indeed increase protection for the mask wearer, too. Tie-dye Mickey Face Mask As we’ve learned since March, not all face coverings are created equal. The CDC reports that “Multiple layers of cloth with higher thread counts have demonstrated superior performance compared to single layers of cloth with lower thread counts, in some cases filtering nearly 50% of fine particles less than 1 micron.” Face Mask Sign in Seattle Airport It is unclear how the updated brief could impact Disney World’s policies, which are already strictly enforced throughout the parks and resorts. While Disney has continuously reminded guests that face coverings must be worn at all times, it is possible that these updated findings could be reflected in new verbiage could be added to their signage, website, and elsewhere. Face mask signage The CDC concluded their brief with a note that “Adopting universal masking policies can help avert future lockdowns, especially if combined with other non-pharmaceutical interventions such as social distancing, hand hygiene, and adequate ventilation.” Face Masks We will continue to keep an eye on health and safety information in the coming weeks and months, and we will keep you up to date with all the latest guidance!

We may not be able to hop on a Disney Cruise Line adventure just yet, but things in the cruise industry are certainly starting to get moving. ©Disney The CDC’s No-Sail order has expired, and new requirements have been put in place that cruise companies must meet in order to sail again. Construction is also going on at the terminal Disney Cruise Line uses in Port Canaveral, and now we’ve gotten a peek at the progress and what this updated terminal is looking like right now. Recently, Port Canaveral conducted their 2020 State of the Port, providing updates on various things going on there, including the renovation of Terminal 8, the terminal used by Disney Cruise Line! ©Port Canaveral A representative in the Port Canaveral update said that this terminal was originally built in 1998, and this renovation has been a matter of making the “new” fit the “old.” The project started in early 2020, and substantial progress has been made. ©Port Canaveral | Concept Art A couple of new things are part of this renovation, including a new drop-off lane with a canopy that is being built to match existing one, and much more. ©Port Canaveral The project apparently started with a $47 million budget, but they have since carved out and deferred $11 million worth of work. The representative indicated that the deferred work could be brought back in the future though. But, with the existing budget, the team has worked on an 11,000 square foot expanded arrival hall for Disney Cruise Line. You can see some beautiful twisted rope details on the outside of the building. ©Port Canaveral The tall rotunda in the back was part of the existing structure and that contains a working clock with…Mickey Mouse hands! LOVE! ©Port Canaveral The renovated front area also includes a brand new outdoor plaza, landscaping, planter beds, new palm trees, and a large area for guests to gather prior to entering the terminal. ©Port Canaveral There are also new carpeted floors and charging stations coming to the expanded area inside. ©Port Canaveral Inside of the main terminal area, the ticket counters, which used to come closer to the end of the building, have actually been cut back… ©Port Canaveral ….to make more room for seating. ©Port Canaveral The representative also noted that they’ve spent thousands of dollars renovating the floor, polishing it, repairing cracks, and doing other things to make sure it’s looking beautiful! ©Port Canaveral Part of expansion project also includes some marine work, including a new passenger boarding bridge. The new bridge should be put in place, connected and set up later this year/early next year. Both gangways will then operate simultaneously and eventually the old one will be demolished. ©Port Canaveral Overall, the whole project is looking great! There’s nothing like the excitement of stepping into a cruise terminal, knowing you’re seconds away from an incredible adventure at sea (and LOTS of delicious food). We can’t wait to sea what it all looks like once it’s finalized and once we’re all able to go cruising once again. For now, all Disney Cruise Line departures through the end of the year have been canceled. We’ll definitely keep you updated on any more Disney Cruise Line news.

You’ve got all of your tickets linked in My Disney Experience, you’ve got all of your family members’ accounts set up and ready to go in the app, and you’ve stretched your fingers and practiced tapping at a super fast speed, but when the Boarding Groups for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance are released you only get…a backup boarding group. Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance “Backup” boarding groups are assigned to guests after the day’s official boarding groups limit has been reached. Guests with a boarding group may get the chance to ride this incredibly popular ride IF, and only IF, all of the official boarding groups are already called, the attraction is still operating (without technical issues), and the park is still open. So, you may be wondering — “what are the chances that I get to ride Rise if I only score a backup boarding group?” Here’s what we’ve found out. First, let’s go through a quick recap. Right now, you can sign up for a boarding group for Rise of the Resistance at two points during the day — 7AM from outside the park and 2PM from within the park. When you sign up, there are a few things that could happen. You could get a regular boarding group — hooray! You could get nothing, where the app will indicate that all boarding groups have already been issued for the day. Or, you could get a “backup” boarding group. Screenshot from My Disney Experience Boarding groups fill up VERY quickly, so it’s possible that many of the groups will simply fill up during the 7AM spot. The 2PM boarding group release is highly dependent on the attraction’s downtime during the day as well. So, at 2PM, you may have the chance to get a boarding group, or you may encounter that all of the groups are backups, or that all of the groups have already filled up. Backup boarding groups are NOT guaranteed to ride the attraction. Hollywood Studios Our own team’s experience with getting a boarding group, in general, has been quite varied. One of our team members has never had success getting on the ride at all. We know some of you fall into this category as well. Other members on our team have tried and failed to get a boarding group during the previous 10AM slot, but were able to get a regular boarding group during the new 7AM sign up process. Rise of the Resistance One member of our team noted that they’ve never gotten a backup boarding group during the morning sign-up — they’ve only ever gotten a regular group or nothing. That same team member also told us they’ve tried 3 times to join at the 2PM time — 1 time was unsuccessful, but the other 2 times they were able to get a backup group. Backup Boarding Group During the successful times, our team member got called to board (generally) within the last 2 hours of the park being open. Backup Boarding Group Another member from our team was able to get a backup boarding group at 2PM and it was called towards the end of the night. They had to wait an hour to get on the ride though! A Cast Member they spoke to said they were calling back a lot of people because guests prefer to be called back and wait an hour, rather than not be called back at all. Rise of the Resistance Vehicle with Plexiglass So, basically, it’s been a mixed bag! But, of all of these experiences, two of our team members have been able to ride Rise of the Resistance with a backup boarding group. We reached out to you all via Instagram to see what your experience has been. We already know that 77% of you all have not been able to ride Rise of the Resistance in general based on a previous poll. In terms of backup boarding groups specifically, though, over 5,000 people responded and 64% said they have not had their backup boarding group called. Poll Results So, while 36% (2,112 people who responded to our poll) have been able to ride Rise of the Resistance with a backup boarding group, the majority of people who responded (3,705 votes) didn’t have as much luck. Rise of the Resistance At the end of the day, backup boarding groups are NOT guaranteed to ride. If riding Rise of the Resistance is a MUST-DO for you, you’ll DEFINITELY want to try to get a boarding group at the 7AM sign-up time. If you get a backup boarding group then or at the 2PM sign-up time, the “best” policy to adopt may be to anticipate that you won’t be able to board (considering the majority of our respondents have not been able to get on with a backup boarding group), but remain in the park or close by so you can rush to the ride if your group IS called. If you are not called, then it’ll lessen the disappointment a bit if you already were not expecting to ride. If you are called, then you’ll be pleasantly surprised! Rise of the Resistance Whether boarding groups are called will vary depending on whether the attraction experiences any technical issues, how many individuals are being included in earlier boarding groups, and other factors. It’s really almost impossible to tell early to mid-day how many groups could get through that day based on all of the variables that are out of Cast Member’s control. Disney has added plexiglass to the attraction vehicles, allowing more guests to ride at one time, which should help with capacity concerns but doesn’t alleviate any of the technical difficulties the attraction may experience. In short, being able to get on Rise of the Resistance may be one of the hardest things to do during your Disney trip, but it’s not totally hopeless. Call on the Force and hopefully, the Jedi of the past will guide your path! Didn’t get a boarding group at 7AM for Rise of the Resistance? Here’s what you can do!

We love how quickly Disney World puts up its holiday decorations. We are always awed by the amount of work that goes into getting all the holiday decor up for the first official day of the season. Pluto Tree at Disney Springs And although each park slowly gets decorations before the official start of the holidays, it’s the overnight work the day before that is truly magical! Disney Springs just posted a timelapse video of this incredible process that shows all the work that goes into decorating just one single tree for the Christmas Tree Stroll. That’s Disney magic, y’all. We love the decorations at Disney Springs, as well as all the holiday decor at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and the resorts!

We’ve had a lot of news in the realm of quick service dining at Disney World recently! Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe Several restaurants (like Sommerfest, The Lunching Pad, and Kringla Bakeri og Kafe) that were previously open only on the weekends have now reopened full time. And we recently spotted several major menu changes at Woody’s Lunch Box (even though the restaurant is still closed). We expect Harambe Market in Disney’s Animal Kingdom to be reopening this weekend, and now we’ve noticed some MORE changes to their menu — including price increases! First of all, we have some bad news for plant-based eaters. While the Hot Link Bowl with plant-based sausage has remained on the menu, it has had a pretty sizable price increase. Previously, it was priced at $9.99, but ahead of reopening the price went up to $12.49. Harambe Market A new menu item has been added as well, the Allergy-Friendly Cookie. This cookie is gluten and wheat allergy-friendly and is priced at $3.29. Harambe Market New to the Kids’ Menu is the Uncrustables meal for $6.19. Served with GoGo squeeZ Applesauce and a Cuties Mandarin, your child will have the choice of milk or water to drink. Harambe Market These menu changes are in addition to the ones we spotted a few days ago — you can check those out here. We’ll make sure to look out for any more changes or updates when the restaurant reopens this weekend. In the meantime, stay tuned to DFB for all your Disney parks dining news!

We’ve watched the trailer for WandaVision, stocked up on Funko Pop! figures themed to the show’s characters, and are READY to watch this new series! It was previously announced that WandaVision would be premiering on Disney+ in December of this year or “late 2020”, but it seems things have changed. ©Disney | Marvel Studios Disney+ just announced via their Twitter today that WandaVision will premiere on Disney+ on January 15th, 2021! So, it seems we’ll have to wait just a bit longer to dive into this unique series. According to Disney, in the show, Wanda and Vision are “two super-powered beings living idealized suburban lives” who “begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems.” The series is set to be feature a mix of classic television and the adventurous nature of Marvel superhero stories. Sounds super interesting! ©Disney | Marvel Studios We can’t wait to see this series once it starts streaming on Disney+ next year.

One of the most impressive new lands built in Disney World is Pandora — The World of Avatar. Pandora — The World of Avatar Between the floating mountains, bioluminescent plants, delicious food, it’s a place you simply MUST visit during your next trip to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Plus, this land has some of the most unique attractions including the incredible Avatar Flight of Passage. But, today we noticed that one ICONIC item in the ride’s queue was missing!! Although the Avatar Flight of Passage attraction itself is incredible, its queue is also fantastic and extremely detailed. One particularly incredible part of the queue is located in the lab portion, where you’ll see a large, life-size avatar “floating” and moving slightly in a tank. It looks so realistic, you’ll swear it could just open its eyes and “wake up” at any moment. Flight of Passage Queue But, today, we noticed that the floating avatar was totally gone! Avatar Flight of Passage Queue With Avatar Missing We asked a Cast Member about it and they said the avatar was “out for a walk today.” This likely means that the avatar itself, the tank it’s in, or another feature of that piece of the queue is getting some kind of refurbishment at the moment. Avatar Flight of Passage Queue With Avatar Missing Avatar Flight of Passage is not the only thing in Disney World getting a bit of a refurb at the moment. The entrance signs in Walt Disney World as well as the Magic Kingdom entrance sign are getting a makeover, and the Tomorrowland Transit Authority Peoplemover is down for a lengthy refurbishment as well. We’ll definitely keep an eye out for more refurbishment information for attractions and areas all around Disney World and let you know what we find!
