Gooooooooood morning! We’ve got some Disney Springs updates! Disney Springs We took a stroll around Disney Springs yesterday to see what exciting happenings are going down at our favorite shopping and dining complex. Well, we didn’t find too much new but we did find some FOOD UPDATES — that’s the best kind! Disney Springs Food Updates The Daily Poutine First up, we stopped by The Daily Poutine which has not one, but TWO new seasonal specials. We got our hands on the Gobbler Poutine for $9.99 for a Thanksgiving-y combo of turkey, brown gravy, cranberry chutney, and cheese curds. Gobbler Poutine Was it as filling and delicious as it looks? Why, yes. Yes, it was. There’s also the Canadian Apple Slushy for $14, which we thought was pretty darn sweet but still tasty. Canadian Apple Slushy C’mon, though, fall flavors of Crown Royal Regal Apple Whiskey, Minute Maid Lemonade, caramel, and apple! That’s a super autumnal sip. To learn more about BOTH of these items, click here! D-Luxe Burger There were also TWO seasonal options at D-Luxe Burger including this MASSIVE Holiday Turkey Burger for $13.49. We were pretty happy with this bite of bacon-cranberry jam, butternut squash risotto cake, lettuce, and tomato stacked on a turkey patty. Holiday Turkey Burger And, to wash down your Holiday Turkey Burger, you might want to pick up a YUMMY Eggnog Gelato Shake, vanilla gelato blended with marshmallow, caramel, cinnamon, and nutmeg topped with whipped cream and a cinnamon stick for $7.50. Eggnog Gelato Shake Unfortunately, ours was missing that cinnamon stick but it was still a rich and delicious sip. Click here for our REVIEW of the new D-Luxe holiday options!

While all of Disney World’s reopened restaurants now feature similar health and safety measures, such as distanced tables, QR code menus, and increased sanitization, a few dining locations have really stood out to us as examples of the BEST of Disney World dining post-closures. Some may offer outdoor dining, while others may be rare character interaction opportunities, but in our minds, a few deserve a shout out. Wine Bar George Bar Seating If you have a trip to Disney World coming up and you’re looking for some table service ideas, we have ten restaurants that we think you should consider! Depending on your travel party’s preferences or level of comfort, each of these locations has at least one great thing going for them in a reopened World! Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ — Disney Springs We have always been fond of Homecomin’ since it first opened in Disney Springs, but these days we have even MORE to love with the new Shine Bar & Social! This extension of Homecomin’ opened up shortly after Disney Springs’ grand reopening earlier this year. Shine Bar and Social For those of you who aren’t quite ready to dine indoors, both Homecomin’ and Shine Bar Social offer outdoor seating. It doesn’t hurt that the food here is downright delightful. Southern home cookin’ and great drinks? Sign us up. Click here to read our review of our RETURN to Homecomin’ this year! Kona Cafe — Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort With the non-Disney Vacation Side portion of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort closed for guests until summer 2021, folks are going to be looking for their Poly fix! And with no ‘Ohana, Spirit of Aloha, or Trader Sam’s until further notice…what’s a Disney World foodie to do?! Kona Cafe The answer: TONGA TOAST at Kona Cafe! The other answer: OHANA WINGS AT KONA CAFE!!! Whether it’s for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Kona Cafe has come to our rescue with not only being a great table service option at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, but a not-so-secret way to STILL get some of our favorite dishes while we wait for the other restaurants to reopen. TONGA TOAST! Keep in mind that the monorail station at the Polynesian is closed temporarily! If you are looking to dine at Kona Cafe, you’ll need to drive yourself or in a rideshare, take a bus over from a park or Disney Springs, take the monorail to the Grand Floridian and walk to the Polynesian, take a boat from Magic Kingdom if they are currently running, or go to the Transportation & Ticket Center and walk to the Polynesian. So you still have lots of ways to get there! Disney World Monorail Looking for even MORE dining options at the Polynesian? Captain Cook’s is also open as an alternate option with outdoor seating available (AND they serve Tonga Toast at breakfast cheaper than up at Kona Cafe!). Tambu Lounge is also open, so while you can’t get those iconic drinks at Trader Sam’s, you CAN get a Lapu Lapu in a pineapple! Click here to read our most recent review of breakfast at Kona Cafe! Nomad Lounge — Disney’s Animal Kingdom Years after it first opened, Nomad Lounge is still a hidden gem within Animal Kingdom. In a park that doesn’t have nearly as many table service options as the others, Nomad Lounge is a shining beacon of wonderful drinks, a relaxing environment, and some yummy eats. Best part? No Advance Dining Reservation required and we rarely, if ever, have a wait to sit down here! Nomad Lounge Nomad Lounge features the all-important outdoor seating, which is key for many guests looking to stay safe while visiting Disney World this year (The CDC still recommends dining in open-air whenever possible). On top of that, you can order a few items from the neighboring signature restaurant Tiffins, including their wonderful Bread Service and, more recently, their Lobster Mac and Cheese. Tiffin’s Bread Service, served at Nomad Lounge Oh, and another great thing about Nomad Lounge? They serve AWESOME churros (which frankly is not as easy to say in Disney World as it is in Disneyland). Plus most of their drinks are top-notch as well. We’ve had great experiences with the food and drinks here. Churros at Nomad Lounge If you want more outdoor dining options in Animal Kingdom, we cannot recommend Satu’li Canteen enough. Its food rivals that of most of the table service dining at Animal Kingdom for a fraction of the price! Click here for a review of our recent visit to Nomad Lounge! Wine Bar George — Disney Springs We simply love Wine Bar George. It has some serious down-to-earth vibes while still being a very nice place to eat (not to mention that Master Sommelier George Miliotes is just about the best guy around!). Wine Bar George The food here is DE-LI-CIOUS, and they also have a knock-out brunch menu! The Basket is a great on-the-go alternative (since Wine Bar George tends to work at a slower pace, for all the right reasons) if you prefer to find your own distanced spot and eat your food away from others. So. Much. Cheese! Why do we love Wine Bar George NOW as much as we did pre-closure? They have outdoor patio seating! So there’s no need to worry about dealing with indoor dining if that isn’t your cup of tea (or glass of wine) these days. We’ve visited Wine Bar George a number of times since reopening and still have just as wonderful things to say about this location. The food, drinks, and service are top-notch. Click here to read our most recent review of Wine Bar George! Sanaa — Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Sanaa has always been one of our personal favorite restaurants in Disney World for several reasons. First, let’s start with the obvious: the food here is the bomb dot com. From their signature Bread Service to their tasty Butter Chicken, Sanaa rarely disappoints. Beef Potjie Second, there are the incredible views of the savanna at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. That means that you don’t even need a theme park ticket to Animal Kingdom to see some of the animals! With Disney’s new Park Pass Reservation System as an additional requirement to enter the parks, lunch at Sanaa can take a whole lot of hassle out of your trip if all you really want is to check out some animals and eat some amazing food. As you can see, they can get RIGHT up on your table (through the glass, of course!). Sanaa Bread Service…With an Onlooker! Perhaps one of the best ways Sanaa has taken their service to the next level post-closure is by utilizing the new Table Service To Go feature on My Disney Experience. That’s right my friends, you can get Sanaa’s Bread Service along with their other incredible menu items TO GO! If you aren’t super down with dining at a restaurant these days, you can still enjoy some of the best food on property anywhere you like! Sanaa’s Table Service To Go Sanaa is also a great option at Disney World for several different special diets. Whether you’re looking for vegetarian or vegan options, Sanaa checks off all the boxes and then some! Click here to read our most recent review of Sanaa! Topolino’s Terrace — Disney’s Riviera Resort Topolino’s Terrance is one of the few places on property at this time where you can experience character dining AND a great meal (AND see spectacular panoramic views of Disney World!). Quiche Gruyere Want a socially distanced selfie with Mickey Mouse? Topolino’s Terrace is one of the few places you can spot Mickey outside of a theme park as of this writing. That list is slowly but surely growing (you can also see him in cute vacation attire at Ravello Italian Restaurant in the Four Seasons on property, and soon he’ll be back greeting guests at Chef Mickey’s). Mickey at Topolino’s Terrace Pre-Closure Topolino’s Terrace is also a great way to plan your day around the shortened hours at the parks. Lately, EPCOT has been opening pretty late (even as late as 11AM or 12PM in some cases!). So, grab breakfast at Topolino’s Terrace, then hop on the Skyliner to EPCOT with plenty of time to spare! Click here to read our most recent review of Topolino’s Terrace! Garden Grill — EPCOT You guys know we’ve always had a special place in our hearts for Garden Grill at EPCOT, so we were thrilled when we saw that it was returning as a modified character dining experience! Mickey and Pluto at Garden Grill Restaurant The food at Garden Grill is served family-style. While buffets are currently on hold for the time being, this has always been a preferred way of being served in our book. There’s no hassle getting up and down from a table, and the food is still all-you-care-to-eat! Plus, when characters come around, no scrambling to get your food (and family) back to the table in time from the buffet to snap a pic! Harvest Feast at Garden Grill This is a SOLID choice if you’re traveling with little kids and looking for a character dining experience in a reopened Disney World while you’re in the parks (show us a mac and cheese-loving kid who wouldn’t love some mac topped with itty bitty Goldfish crackers like it’s served here!). Mac and Cheese Even socially distanced, you still get loads of character time here. We waved and snapped distanced selfies with Pluto, Mickey, Chip, and Dale multiple times over the course of our meal. While there are other experiences currently available (one of which we’ll get to in a moment), Garden Grill DELIVERS when it comes to quality food at a reasonable price where you can say “hello” from afar to some characters! Click here to read our most recent review of Garden Grill! Le Cellier — EPCOT Le Cellier has truly stood the test of time when it comes to fan-favorite eats in EPCOT. If you’re looking for top-notch dining, this has been a solid choice for years. However, if you’ve been looking for a reason to head BACK to Le Cellier, now is a great time during Disney World’s phased reopening. Look at ALL That Space! Why is that, you ask? Physically distanced tables are probably the BEST thing that’s ever happened at Le Cellier. It’s not nearly as cramped as it was pre-closures, giving us all more elbow room (and if you’ve dined at Le Cellier before, you know how precious of a commodity elbow room is!). This space was “cozy” to put it nicely (others might lean more towards “claustrophobic!”) so the ample space between tables makes it easier to hear your dining party and breathe easy. Click here to read our most recent review of Le Cellier! California Grill — Disney’s California Grill In previous years, California Grill has been hit or miss. The food is typically good here, but due to the popularity of the spot for Magic Kingdom fireworks viewing n the evenings, it was often cramped and, at times, rushed. Our most recent trip post-closures was wonderful! The service was on point, the food was stellar, and the view was as good as ever. View from California Grill If you want a break from Magic Kingdom but you don’t want to schlep your party ALL the way back to your hotel room, just hop on the Monorail and head to the Contemporary. This spot makes a great location for an early dinner or, if you want to spot the Cinderella Castle projections that recently debuted for Christmas, it’s a great spot to catch a glimpse after dark! California Grill The food is great here. With long-time favorites like the Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli (that just returned to the menu!), and new goodies like the amazing Beer and Cheese Soup we had recently, this spot has some great food to its name. Beer and Cheese Soup As always, California Grill has those STUNNING 15th floor views of the Magic Kingdom. While fireworks are currently suspended, you still can’t beat those panoramic views, especially after the sun goes down. Click here for our most recent review of California Grill! Be Our Guest Restaurant — Magic Kingdom Shh! This last one on our list is a secret! Well, not really, but Be Our Guest Restaurant DID turn out to be a bit of a secret character dining experience when it first reopened! Back when we thought character dining was limited to Topolino’s Terrace and Garden Grill, Be Our Guest surprised us by bringing the Beast back to greet his guests at lunch AND dinner! Surprise Beast! Since then, there have been other announcements of character dining returning, including Cinderella making brief appearances at Cinderella’s Royal Table. However, if you’re stuck between Be Our Guest and Cinderella’s Royal Table, and you’ve already eaten at both (or if meeting princesses is not a must-do for your party), the scales tip towards Be Our Guest. Charcuterie Plate The lunch menu here has shifted post-closure to their prix-fixe signature service…which to be honest is a bit overpriced for our taste. When the lunch menu was their quick-service menu, it was a slam dunk as far as quick-service food went. But, for a lot of folks Be Our Guest is a must-do and they are willing to pay top dollar to spend some quality time in the Beast’s castle! Pork Tenderloin We DO miss their Quick Service lunch and we hope it returns, but we did enjoy our prix-fixe table service lunch in the meantime! Click here to read our most recent review of Be Our Guest! We hope this list gave you a few ideas for potential dining options on your next trip to Disney World! As we said at the beginning, EVERY dining location in Disney World has adopted new health and safety procedures that include increased cleaning, physically distanced tables, and more. But these ten locations offer even MORE when you want the best in Disney World dining that is safe or gives you a bit more bang for your buck.

Sanibel Island, located off Florida's Southwest coast, is famed for its sunsets, lighthouse and luxurious resorts. But by far, the most popular activity on Sanibel Island is shelling — you barely can walk a step on the beach without indulging in the so-called "Sanibel Stoop" to search for shells.

Disney often partners with organizations that provide services for critically ill children. This year, the company is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its partnership with Make-A-Wish. ©Give Kids the World Village Now, Walt Disney World Resort has donated more than three million Christmas lights to transform Florida’s Give Kids the World Village for the Night of a Million Lights — and we were invited to take a look! We recently attended a special preview of the Night of a Million Lights to learn a little bit about this event that will run November 13th through January 3rd. So, get ready, as we explore this socially-distanced, walk-through holiday light spectacular! Night of a Million Lights Give Kids the World Village is an 89-acre nonprofit resort that provides weeklong, cost-free vacations to critically ill children and their families. The resort is typically not accessible to the public, so the Night of a Million Lights event provides visitors with the rare opportunity to experience the resort! Night of a Million Lights On top of that, the Give Kids the World Village has unfortunately been closed since March due to the global health crisis. So, this holiday event is a super special occasion. Night of a Million Lights During the Night of a Million Lights events, guests can experience a walk-through tour featuring more than a million lights throughout the Village! Night of a Million Lights Visitors will spot tons of holiday displays around the 89-acre property including a 150-foot tunnel, the Avenue of Angels, more than 50 holiday wireframes, and more! Night of a Million Lights Santa has also stopped by the Night of a Million Lights for a socially distanced greeting! Santa! And if you’re looking for a little extra dose of excitement, there are three wheelchair-accessible attractions that guests can enjoy unlimited access to during the event! Guests Can Experience Three Attractions at the Event The Enchanted Carousel is one of the attractions available during the Night of a Million Lights. Enchanted Carousel Or, maybe you’d prefer to slow things down on the Christmas Tree Trail, which guests can explore at their leisure. Christmas Tree Trail We even spotted a few trees with Disney decor. Can you spot the Robin Hood details in the tree on the right?? Robin Hood Tree On top of that, Give Kids the World Village has partnered with several other companies like SeaWorld, LEGOLAND, Kennedy Space Center, and more to decorate the family villas of the resort. LEGO Decorations There are some truly incredible displays throughout the Village! Crayola Display We also spotted a few characters as well! Mayor Clayton, the six-foot-tall bunny rabbit who governs the Village was out and about greeting guests… Mayor Clayton …as was Ms. Merry, another staple of the Village… Ms. Merry …and there was a stilt walker roaming around dressed for the occasion as well! Stilt Walker Admission includes free ice cream and hot cocoa, and unlimited access to the Village’s wheelchair-accessible attractions. The event runs from 5PM to 10PM daily with staggered entry times and masks are required. Night of a Million Lights Tickets range from $25 to $40 for adults and $15 to $20 for kids depending on the night. Advance tickets can be purchased from the Give Kids the World website. There are a limited number of tickets available for each night, so advance purchase is encouraged! Belle’s Cottage Display Proceeds from the event will support Give Kids the World’s mission to provide vacations for critically ill children and their families. The Night of a Million Lights is to help raise funds for wish-granting when the Village reopens. Night of a Million Lights Give Kids The World President and CEO Pamela Landwirth says, “We look forward to sharing some holiday joy with the community while making it possible for future wish children to have their wishes fulfilled.” Night of a Million Lights We had a ton of fun at Night of a Million Lights — this is an AWESOME event for the whole family to enjoy while supporting a great cause! Night of a Million Lights runs from November 13th through January 3rd, so bask in those dazzling lights while they last!

On November 11th, we honor the veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces. 2019 Flag Retreat Ceremony This year, Disney World paid tribute to veterans with a special salute that began at sunrise. As the sun began to rise over Cinderella Castle this morning, Disney Cast Members held a special Veterans Day ceremony at Magic Kingdom. Honor Guards representing Disney’s security team, as well as members of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office and Reedy Creek Fire Department, marched down Main Street to participate in the morning’s flag-raising ceremony. Disney World Sunrise Salute to Veterans ©Disney Several days earlier, the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds marked the beginning of National Veterans and Military Families Month by flying over EPCOT. Disney captured video of that event: Disney World has a long history of honoring veterans. The parks commemorate veterans during Armed Forces Day and other events paying tribute to the U.S. military. The parks also still have a daily flag retreat ceremony, and when the parks were closed, the flags were still raised and lowered every day. We join Disney in thanking our U.S. military veterans for their service! Select Disney World Restaurants are Offering a DISCOUNT for Veterans Day!

We here at DFB, along with all of our West Coast friends, have been getting geared up and VERY excited for the opening of Buena Vista Street! Disney California Adventure Park Last month, Disney announced that the Buena Vista Street area of Disney California Adventure would be reopening for shopping and dining purposes as an extension of Downtown Disney. This news has been very exciting, as this is the first time in eight months that guests will be able to step into a Disneyland Resort park! In preparation for the opening of this area on November 19th, we’ve been anxiously watching the area for updates, and today we spotted Christmas decor! Standing outside of the park’s entrance, we could see the holiday cheer beginning to arrive! There are garlands strung up the lampposts, topped with red Christmas bows. We could even spot festive window displays, with mannequins dressed in their holiday best! Christmas decorations in California Adventure Down the street, we noticed more garlands and wreaths. Everything just looks so magical! California Adventure Christmas decor The Five & Dime was spruced up nicely, reminding us a lot of the decorations we’ve seen on Main Street, U.S.A. in Magic Kingdom. California Adventure Christmas decor Cast Members were out and about getting everything nice and clean. We even noticed new hand sanitizer dispensers to go along with the enhanced safety measures. California Adventure Christmas decorations Standing outside and catching these small glimpses of the park made us feel a lot like Princess Anna waiting for Arendelle to open — “Tell the guards to open up the gates!” California Adventure Christmas decorations It’s so encouraging to see Disney decorating for Christmas in California, even if only a small section of the park will be open.

When it comes to serving up snacks for tea time, you can’t beat a classic scone! Tea Time! The scones are one of the highlights of Afternoon Tea at the Garden View Tea Room at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. If you can’t get to the Grand Floridian for tea time, now you can make these classic scones at home! Here’s the official Disney recipe for Classic Scones from the Garden View Tea Room! ©Disney Ingredients 4 cups all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons baking powder 1/2 cup sugar 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons margarine 2 tablespoons shortening 3 eggs, beaten 1 1/4 cup milk 1 cup golden raisins Recipe Preheat oven to 425°F. Sift the dry ingredients (except the raisins) together in a large mixing bowl. Using your fingertips, work the margarine, and shortening into the dry ingredients until it resembles a coarse meal. In a separate bowl, combine the beaten eggs and milk, then stir into the flour mixture just until the dough comes together. Fold in the raisins. Lightly flour your workspace, then roll the dough out to about 1/2″ thickness. Use a 2″ round cutter to cut about 40 scones from the dough. Transfer to a lightly greased baking sheet and bake about 12 to 15 minutes, until light brown. (For slightly sweeter scones, sprinkle extra granulated sugar on top before baking.) Serve immediately with Devonshire cream or butter and jam. Scones with Jam & Devonshire Cream That’s it! Enjoy your warm, delicious scones…and maybe invite us over for one or two while you’re at it.

A few weeks ago, California issued its theme park reopening guidelines. The strict guidelines prompted speculation that large theme parks including Disneyland Resort might not be able to completely reopen until 2021. Plexiglass shields installed at the entrance to Disneyland However, since the guidelines permit small theme parks to reopen once their counties reach the Orange Tier, Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk became the first theme park to reopen on November 7th. The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk had been closed for seven months, but recently reopened on November 7th with a limited capacity of 500 in-county visitors and an advance reservations requirement. However, the Boardwalk rides and mini golf are now closed again due to its county re-entering the Red Tier. Metrics needed for California counties to advance to reopening tiers.

The Boardwalk recently announced on Twitter that rides and miniature golf were closed, although bowling will remain open until Friday at 11PM. Games, food, shopping, and pedal carts are also set to remain open at this time.

We’re taking a cruise in the Skyliner today for one reason and one reason only. France Pavilion Nope, it’s not to experience this very fun mode of transportation (although that is a plus). We’re hoping to get a glimpse of the progress over at EPCOT’s France Pavilion expansion! Let’s take a look! Of course, you’ll remember that the Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure marquee is currently up and looking QUITE snazzy above the entrance to the upcoming attraction. We still haven’t heard an opening date for this ride but we’re hoping we do soon. France Pavilion Overall the pavilion is looking pretty darn good. You’d be hardpressed to spot that looks like it needs some work and even guest signage is up in the streets. We sure hope we’re chowing down on a crepe in this expansion soon! France Pavilion We’re keeping a VERY close eye on this pavilion and on Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure so stay tuned to DFB for the latest updates. France Pavilion We can’t WAIT for news of an opening!

You’ve got the Fish & Chips ears and the rest of the Fish & Chips merchandise collection, now all you need is…some hot & fresh, actual fish & chips! Fish & Chips Ears Well, if you’re like us, you’ll probably want to head directly to Yorkshire County Fish Shop in the United Kingdom pavilion in EPCOT for this delicious treat. This spot was previously only open on the weekends, but now it looks like things are changing! As we made our way around EPCOT, snacking on all the yummy treats from the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, we went over to the United Kingdom pavilion and found that…Yorkshire County Fish Shop was open TODAY…on a Wednesday! Yorkshire County Fish Shop Open on a Weekday Since this spot had previously only been open during the weekends we were very surprised! We spoke to a Cast Member there who said today is the first weekday they’ve been open and the Cast Member was told the restaurant will remain open. So, it appears Yorkshire County Fish Shop may start to be open daily now! We’ll definitely check back on another weekday to see if there is any update. Yorkshire County Fish Shop Open on a Weekday This spot recently changed its fish & chips recipe, but it was still ABSOLUTELY delicious the last time we had it, and we can’t wait to now have more opportunities to get this dish over and over again! Fish and Chips from Yorkshire County Fish Shop We’ve seen this change from weekend only to daily service made recently at a few spots around Disney World including The Lunching Pad in Magic Kingdom, Kringla Bakeri go Kafe at the Norway pavilion in EPCOT, and Sommerfest at the Germany pavilion in EPCOT. We’ll definitely keep an eye out for more updates to see if other restaurants start increasing their availability as well. More food = more fun, right?! Click here to see what’s new in EPCOT!
