Even though the Florida temperatures are still hanging out in the 80s, we’ve seen lots of new wintery merchandise at Walt Disney World! Orange Corduroy Ears Sweatshirts, fuzzy spirit jerseys, and all kinds of cold-weather accessories are all over the shelves in Disney gift shops. Even if it’s not anywhere close to being cold outside, all this new merch is certainly getting us in the holiday spirit, and that’s certainly the case with Disney’s new buffalo plaid line! We can’t wait to pair this stuff with our new Buffalo Plaid Ears! When strolling through Disney Springs today, we decided to stop off in DisneyStyle to see if they had anything new. If you like to show off your love for all things Disney through your wardrobe, then you definitely need to check out this store! Disney Style While perusing the racks, a new line of clothing caught our eye — this black and white buffalo plaid collection! Buffalo Plaid Collection in DisneyStyle This pattern is incredibly popular in the winter months, and Disney is certainly capitalizing on that with this selection. There were several different items available, starting with this new fleece pullover for $59.99! Buffalo Plaid Fleece Pullover The pullover is mostly black, but features plaid accents on the collar and zipper. A black and white plaid Mickey head adorns the front to add just a little touch of Disney. As the temperatures drop, this would be just right for those windy nights at EPCOT! Buffalo Plaid Fleece Pullover The next item we spotted was this Santa Mickey t-shirt with plaid accents. The short sleeve design is perfect for celebrating the holidays in Florida, and it can be yours for $39.99. Santa Mickey Buffalo Plaid shirt We also noticed these very unique joggers for $44.99. They’re a very lightweight material with a drawstring waistband and “Walt Disney World” written down the side. Buffalo Plaid joggers What surprised us the most about these pants is that the sides, as well as the entire backside, were covered in the plaid pattern. These will make a very bold fashion statement indeed! Buffalo Plaid joggers The other item in this collection looks like it was made to match the joggers. This lightweight sweatshirt/sweater says Walt Disney World on the front. Buffalo Plaid sweatshirt The back is where it gets pretty interesting, with a crisscross design! It’s available now at DisneyStyle for $54.99. Disney World Sweater This collection is definitely different than what we’ve seen in Disney World before. We just aren’t sure how we feel about plaid covering the entire back half of our pants! Make sure to stay tuned as we keep you updated on all the new merchandise — the good, the bad, and the downright weird! Looking for more new Disney merchandise?

Very soon, we’ll be stepping into Disney California Adventure Park to shop and dine on Buena Vista Street! Red Car Trolley behind the Gates at Disney California Adventure Park But, until then, we’re doing quite a bit of shopping at Downtown Disney’s World of Disney store! Today, we found a bunch of awesome sweatshirts that will make sure you’re warm, cozy, and cute throughout the winter season! We’ve seen quite a few of these sweatshirts in Walt Disney World, but it was great to see that they had made it over to Disneyland Resort as well AND we even spotted a few NEW ones today! Let’s check them out. First up, we’ll go through the “retro looking” graphic fleece. These are each priced at $52.99, but they’re on sale for $45 each when you buy two! Buying two shouldn’t be hard to do considering there are a whole bunch of them and they’re all great! Graphic Fleece Sale For all those Jedi Masters (or Sith Lords) out there, there’s a great Star Wars sweatshirt featuring Darth Vader, Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, and, of course, R2-D2! It’s got a bunch of great details on it like some Stormtroopers, the Death Star, and even that epic lightsaber battle between Vader and Obi Wan. Star Wars Graphic Fleece There was also a cute Mickey and Minnie design featuring our favorite duo floating off to have another magical adventure! We especially love the design on the sleeves of this fleece. Minnie and Mickey Balloons Graphic Fleece The one and only Donald Duck is looking rather happy in this next fleece. Could it be because he’s the center of attention here and is up in the clouds where no one can bother him? It definitely could be! Although an angry Donald can be quite the sight, we LOVE to see this duck’s smiling face! Donald Duck Graphic Fleece Want to channel a true fashion icon with your winter look? Then you’ll love this Minnie Mouse Graphic Fleece. Minnie is really rocking the dots here and, of course, no one can beat her amazing, BIG bows! Minnie Mouse Graphic Fleece Who’s the leader of the Club that’s made for you and me? Well, Mickey Mouse of course! You can snuggle up in this comfy graphic fleece featuring Mickey Mouse to celebrate the Mouse that started it all! It’ll be the perfect sweatshirt to wear while watching the new Mickey Mouse animated short series when it premieres on Mickey’s birthday! Mickey Mouse Graphic Fleece Disneyland fans will LOVE this next fleece featuring a castle, the Disneyland logo, and the phrase “Happiest Place on Earth 1955.” Even though you can’t visit Disneyland Park at the moment, you can still rep your love for Disneyland Resort with this fun sweatshirt. Disneyland Graphic Fleece Finally, those looking for a really retro look will definitely want to check out this Disneyland Resort blue graphic fleece. It’s got that signature castle logo on the top and a vintage look to it that we absolutely love. Disneyland Resort Graphic Fleece Next up, we’ve got the fuzzy sweatshirt collection! These things will totally have you feeling like you’re wearing a robe or pajamas all day long — and we have NO complaints about that at all. We’ve already spotted most of these in Disney World, except for that fun Disneyland Resort one! Let’s take a closer look. Fuzzy Sweatshirts! For all the Minnie Mouse fans, there’s a great, red sweater featuring Minnie and her GIANT bow! Minnie Mouse Fuzzy Sweatshirt There’s also a fuzzy, black Mickey sweatshirt… Mickey Mouse Fuzzy Sweatshirt …and a soft, blue sweatshirt featuring Donald. He’s not quite as happy as he was in the graphic fleece but he is at the happiest place on earth, so hopefully some churros can cheer him up! Donald Fuzzy Sweatshirt Finally, we spotted a fuzzy, white Disneyland sweatshirt that has the Disneyland Resort logo on it in bright red. It’s simple but cute and could totally work with any outfit. You could even make it part of your Disneyland holiday look since it’s got a snowy white color and red lettering, just like a peppermint! Disneyland Fuzzy Sweatshirt Each of these fuzzy sweatshirts is priced at $69.99. So, if you’re looking to stay comfy and look great this winter season, be sure to check out these sweaters in Downtown Disney at World of Disney! If we see any more neat Disney merchandise, we’ll definitely let you know. What could Disneyland’s reopening look like for the first guests? Check out our thoughts here!

At DFB, we’re committed to all things Disney and all things food. When the two topics are brought together in conversation, things get very serious around here. Arguments get heated, friendships are lost, and blood gets spilled. Mickey Pretzel Ok, it’s not that bad. We just know what we like and are very passionate about it! We had a lengthy discussion about what Disney World snacks we’d never eat again. Brace yourselves! Some of our opinions may surprise you. Jumbo Turkey Leg If there’s one thing we could all agree on, it was that those giant turkey legs can hit the road, JACK. We agreed that they are greasy, heavy, and WAY too much work to consume. There are so many other delicious things in the World, so thank you, next! Turkey Leg That said, the Jumbo Turkey Legs are ICONIC. This is the snack that makes you feel like a prehistoric caveman who somehow ended up in a theme park. If you enjoy feeling like you’re from the Mesozoic Era, grab one next time you smell that familiar smokey smell (when we do eat these, the cart in Liberty Square in Magic Kingdom is where we tend to go lookin’!). This is the snack that keeps on giving and can easily feed two people! Marshmallow Wands Put a marshmallow on a stick, maybe throw some sprinkles on it, and call it day! Some of us feel like you might as well bring your own marshmallows and eat them out of the bag. Once we got out of our childhood years, some of us found marshmallows to be sickeningly sweet and just too much! These treats are quite literally sugar dipped in even more sugar! Our apologies if you find these to be tempting treats! Maybe if they start dipping the marshmallow in Nutella we could get behind them. Mickey Marshmallow Wand The wands taste much better when made fresh from the Main Street Confectionary. The more goodies the wands are dipped in, the better it tastes! Marshmallow fans will enjoy the wands dipped in caramel, chocolate, sprinkles, and candies! We recently found marshmallow Mickeys dipped in buttery Werther’s Caramel in EPCOT! Anything You Can Get at a Gas Station Here’s a hot tip from all of us: If you can get it at a gas station…get it at a gas station. We love a bag of chips or snacks from a gas station as much as anyone just…not at Disney world. We vote for not buying that $5 bag of Doritos or a packaged rice crispy treat at Disney when there are plenty of fresh rice crispies at the bakeries and tons of other fresh-made goodies you can spend your hard-earned Disney Dollars on. Harambe Fruit Stand P.S. Florida is home to the amazing convenient store chain, Wawa. They’ve got good, cheap coffee drinks, chips, sandwiches, fruit, and fresh pretzels. As far as quality goods, Wawa is where it’s at! Fill up your bag with goodies and bring it to the park with you if you want to save a couple bucks and still get good gas station grub! Pizza from PizzeRizzo Disney had an opportunity to change up the menu when Pizza Planet became PizzeRizzo.in Disney’s Hollywood Studios Alas, the place still serves pillowy (and not in a good way), stale pizza that’s pretty disappointing. (We suggest trying the newly revamped ABC Commissary or Ronto Roasters for GOOD Hollywood Studios eats!) We’re also hoping that Disney will someday give us the Pizza Planet we deserve. Where’s our claw machine, futuristic beverage stations, and arcade games?? We’re wishing on a star for that one. PizzeRizzo Pizza What it lacks in great pizza, it makes up for in Muppet jokes and references. Be on the lookout for the neon sign that flashes in front of the restaurant between “The City’s Top Rated Pizza” and “It’s Rat Pizza.” Pretty cute! It’s also located right next to Muppet*Vision 3D in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Muppet fans can take in a flick starring their favorite characters then enjoy a themed lunch! Green Milk Blue Milk from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is iconic. It’s one of those snacks you have to get at least once to say you did. The taste could absolutely be improved, however. It’s an odd cross between a milkshake and fruit smoothie but without the creamy sensation of real dairy. Don’t get us wrong, we don’t want to throw out the feeling of drinking real Blue or Green Milk. We think everyone should try it at least once for the experience! It’s just not our favorite frozen Disney beverage. Blue and Green Milk We understand making the drink open to guests unable to eat dairy (the milks used are coconut and rice milks, making it dairy-free!) but the pseudo-dairy combined with a LOT of fruit flavors that are both strong and muted at the exact same time is…unique. P.S. For the adults, we suggest the boozy Blue and Green Milk. A shot of rum or tequila helps round out the taste quite a bit! Check out our look at blue and green milk here! Oga’s Cantina We came to an agreement that the entire snack menu at Oga’s could use some improvement. The Happabore Sampler is a hodgepodge of strange items like SPAM, pork rinds, and pre-shredded string cheese. We could definitely use some more cohesive meats and veggies in this dish. And, a serving of the Batuu Bits is a little like ordering a bowl of strange Chex mix that doesn’t taste particularly good. The Happabore Sampler at Oga’s We will say that the Batuu Bits have been vastly improved since reopening. (We hope The Happabore Platter gets the same treatment soon!) The newer addition of Chermoula Dip adds much-needed flavor to the freeze-dried veggies and chips! Plus, you’ll need a little food to balance out all those Fuzzy Tauntans you put down! Click here to see our first experience with the interesting charcuterie at Oga’s! Snacks that Disneyland Does Better We agree that Disney World could learn a hard lesson about the snacks over at Disneyland. Namely, churros and corn dogs. Disney World has been known to serve stale churros that have been sitting out for a while. Plus, all that added humidity over at Disney World is sure to do a number on the crunch of a churro! You have to get them when they’re fresh because no one likes an old churro! Disneyland’s churros are crisp, fresh, and get high marks from us! If you want a fresh churro from Disney World your best bet is to get the fresh churros from Nomad Lounge or Sunshine Churros at Disney Springs. Caramel and Coconut Churro As far as the corn dogs, Disney World has tried half-heartedly a number of times to serve the famous and perfect corn dogs that are so popular in Disneyland. Sleepy Hollow served — then stopped — now serves once again a hand-dipped dog very similar to the Disneyland version that we’re happy to see very recently returned. Before that, Disney Springs’ Fantasy Faire food truck attempted to serve a hand-dipped corn dog that claimed to be the same as Disneyland but we weren’t feeling it quite like the original from Cali. Once you have a Disneyland corn dog, you won’t go back! Take notes, Disney World! Disneyland Hand-Dipped Corn Dog That said, you’re craving corn dogs at Disney World, you can’t go wrong with the Corn Dog Nuggets from Casey’s Corner. We could eat these fried, doughy nuggs all day long! Currently, they are being sold at Westward Ho while Casey’s is temporarily unavailable. You can also find hand-dipped corn dogs, as we mentioned, at Sleepy Hollow Refreshments in Magic Kingdom. While Disney World’s version isn’t quite as good as Disneyland’s corn dogs, they still hit the spot. Check out Disney World’s latest attempt at the Disneyland-style dogs! Split Decisions There were a few snacks that we couldn’t agree on. Some of the team wanted them out and others couldn’t stand the idea of parting with them. Pickles were a big one. While the pickles are fairly standard at Disney World, sometimes you just want an ice-cold, salty snack! You can find pickles-in-a-bag at the fresh fruit stands located around the theme parks. Pickle in a Bag Pongu Lumpia is always a little controversial. It probably stems from the age-old argument about whether pineapple should be on pizza. Some hate it and some love it. (This particular writer happens to love pineapple and cream cheese wrapped in a fried spring roll.) We suggest heading to Pongu Pongu in Pandora – The World of Avatar in Disney’s Animal Kingdom and try it for yourself! Also, did you know “pongu” means “party” in the Na’vi language? Who wouldn’t want to try a snack called Party Lumpia?? Pongu Lumpia We’re really giving it to Galaxy’s Edge today! Kat Saka’s Kettle Corn is something many of our readers and team just can’t get behind. To some of us, the “fruity” purple popcorn has an odd, artificial taste. The red chili popcorn doesn’t quite hit the mark in terms of spice either. We’d love to have the spicy popcorn pack a punch! Either way, we have one or two team members who are STAUNCH believers in the spicy and sweet popcorn combo. Again, we think this is a snack that you need to try for yourself to form your own opinion! Outpost Popcorn Mix This conversation could go on forever so we’ll stop while we’re ahead! We apologize if your favorite snack made the list. But hey, we’re open to a friendly argument about Disney snacks. See if you can change our minds in the comments! And while these aren’t our favorite things, we always give items a second chance and a shot. So, we will keep reviewing them and letting you know if they end up changing our minds.

We love the holiday season at Magic Kingdom, but not everyone can make it to Disney World this year. Magic Kingdom So Disney Channel has plans to bring Disney World into your home this holiday season. Disney just announced a Disney Channel holiday special…and while we’re excited about them, we’re even more excited that our random Magic Kingdom stage questions have been answered! The special is called Disney Holiday Magic Quest and stars Raven-Symoné as a virtual host, with Zombies 2 stars Milo Manheim, Kylee Russell, Ariel Martin, and Pearce Joze as competitors in an adventure that will take them throughout Magic Kingdom, including Haunted Mansion and Cinderella Castle! But look behind them, there’s that stage! Disney Holiday Magic Quest ©Disney Here’s a look at the mysterious stage we saw being built in front of Cinderella Castle. Slides, a bridge, this stage looks pretty epic. So, we hope the holiday special lives up to how epic the stage looked! Magic Kingdom Stage Ok. Back to info on the holiday special. According to Disney, Magic Kingdom will act as a sort of obstacle course for the competitors who must restore the joy of the holidays after Maleficent and the Evil Queen try to steal it. And even better? The grand prize will benefit Toys for Tots. Disney Holiday Magic Quest ©Disney Be sure to tune into Disney Channel to watch Disney Magic Holiday Quest on December 4th at 8PM EST. And don’t forget that ABC also still plans to air its annual Disney Parks Holiday Special on December 25th although this year’s special will be “reimagined” as a mix of highlights from previous years, along with some new footage.

D-Luxe Burger is a great spot for an affordable bite in Disney Springs! D-Luxe Burger in Disney Springs Serving up some crazy burgers, a delicious chicken sandwich, and several flavors of artisanal gelato shakes, this place has typically been a step above regular quick service offerings in Disney World. And for the holidays this year, they’ve added two items to their menu: the Holiday Turkey Burger and the Eggnog Gelato Shake. We headed over to D-Luxe to see what we thought of these options! As we walked up to the restaurant, we noticed that some more outdoor seating was added in front! The tables here are safely distanced from one another and have a great view of the surrounding area. Outdoor Seating at D-Luxe Burger This is one of many Disney restaurants where guests are currently being asked to Mobile Order. The two menu options were listed under the “Holiday Exclusives” section of D-Luxe’s page in the My Disney Experience app. The shake is brand new this year, but the burger is returning from last year. D-Luxe Burger Mobile Order Once our order was ready, we picked up the food, and honestly, everything looked delicious! Holiday Turkey Burger and Eggnog Shake We wanted to drink the Eggnog Shake before it got too melty, so we tried it first. The shake is made of vanilla gelato blended with toasted marshmallow, caramel, cinnamon, and nutmeg, topped with whipped cream. The description said that the shake was supposed to come topped with a cinnamon stick, but it was absent from ours. Eggnog Shake We found this shake to be VERY nutmeg and cinnamon-forward. If you like those flavors then this one is for you! It had a very accurate eggnog flavor, and it was overall pretty creamy. (Exactly what we want in a milkshake!) Eggnog Shake If you aren’t a fan of eggnog, then you likely won’t enjoy this shake. For us, we thought it was the perfect way to bring Christmas cheer to the hot and humid place that is Florida. You can get it from D-Luxe burger now for $7.50. Eggnog Shake Moving on to the Holiday Turkey Burger, we were surprised to see how large our entrée was in person! Holiday Turkey Burger It’s $13.49 by itself, but you can add a side of fries for $4.99. The burger comes with a turkey patty topped with bacon-cranberry jam, a butternut squash risotto cake, lettuce, and tomato. We were OBSESSED with this last year so we did a little dance when we saw that it was back on the menu!! Holiday Turkey Burger and fries We cut it open to see what it looked like on the inside and the risotto cake also contained cheese curds (Surprise!) that weren’t listed on the menu. Holiday Turkey Burger Overall, we really liked this burger. It was big and quite filling, but the flavors worked really well together. The turkey patty was a tad dry, but it was well-balanced by the creaminess of the risotto cake and the tartness of the jam. It was a tad different than last year’s version, but we loved it just the same! Holiday Turkey Burger We honestly would’ve liked to have a little more of the bacon-cranberry jam — it added some extra flavor to the whole combination. We think that most people would enjoy this burger, except maybe those who don’t like squash. Holiday Turkey Burger All in all, this holiday meal was really delicious, and we would definitely order it again. Who knew that you could make such a sophisticated meal into a burger-shake combo?

Last year at Christmastime, Living With the Land in EPCOT received a festive holiday overlay! Living with the Land holiday overlay from 2019 The other parks received their full holiday makeovers last week, but it seems as though EPCOT is waiting until the start of the Festival of the Holidays to go into full Christmas mode.

We hopped on the ride today to check out the progress and we spotted some colorful Christmas lights that weren’t there last week!

Splash Mountain is one of those attractions at Disney World that has a LOT of down time. Splash Mountain From animatronics that don’t always work the way they’re supposed to technical problems that completely close the ride, we’ve seen the ride shut down often due to various issues. We’ve even seen it evacuated on more than one occasion. Today, though, we actually got a notification through the My Disney Experience app via a pop-up message informing us that Splash Mountain was unavailable. The message presumably comes from Jason Kirk, Magic Kingdom Vice President, and even includes an apology. Splash Mountain down pop-up message This is personally our first time seeing this message, so we thought we’d share it with you all. We think it’s pretty helpful as it could save you a walk across the park. We are keeping a close eye on Slash and will update this post when the attraction reopens. As always, we’ll keep you updated on everything going on at Magic Kingdom today, so stay tuned! Read about the upcoming closure and reimagination of Splash Mountain here.

There have been oodles of holiday treats rolling into Disney World recently, especially in the food-lover’s paradise of Disney Springs! Red Velvet Yule Log from Amorette’s Patisserie We’ve seen tons of sweets: yule logs, crème brûlées, and dome cakes included. But where should you go if you want a savory holiday snack? The Daily Poutine of course! They’ve brought back their Thanksgiving dish, the turkey poutine and we’re giving it a try today. We’ve had it in the past, but will it be as good as we remember? Let’s find out! We’re actually giving TWO special items a try over at The Daily Poutine today — the Gobbler Poutine and the Canadian Apple Slushy! Gobbler Poutine and Canadian Apple Slushy The “Gobbler Poutine” features delicious tries topped with turkey with brown gravy, cranberry chutney, and cheese curds! It’s basically like serving up a Thanksgiving meal on a bed of French fries. Why can’t all Thanksgiving meals be served this way?! Gobbler Poutine The cranberry sauce adds a nice tangy and sweet flavor! At least in our book, cranberry sauce + fries + cheese curds = perfection! We really felt that the flavors blended well together and balanced each other out. It was a warm and delicious take on Thanksgiving and totally filling. You could even share this with some friends as a fun snack (although you may not want to share)! Gobbler Poutine If you HATE the flavors of a traditional Thanksgiving meal, then you’ll want to skip this. Otherwise, we think this is an awesome treat! You can grab it at The Daily Poutine right now for $9.99. But, we can’t forget that Canadian Apple Slushy! We heard about this drink in September, but finally got the chance to taste it today. The drink features Crown Royal Regal Apple Whisky with Minute Maid Premium Lemonade, Caramel, and Apple, topped with Whipped Cream and a Caramel Drizzle. You can get this slushy for $14. Canadian Apple Slushy When we visited today, we had to wait about 30 minutes after The Daily Poutine opened to actually get our drink in order for it to be mixed properly in the slushy mixer. That’s not necessarily a make-or-break issue, but if you’re in a hurry or just not willing to wait, it’s something to keep in mind. Once we got our drink we found that it was a very sweet treat! It had a yummy apple and caramel flavor, but also a bit of tartness from the lemonade. Overall, it was pretty sweet, but good! If you don’t really like the taste of alcohol, this is a good option for you! We could barely taste the alcohol in this drink at all. Canadian Apple Slushy If you’re looking for a really strong alcohol flavor though, or you’re not a fan of sweet drinks, this is probably a skip for you! We’ve been busy trying out SO MANY holiday treats in Disney World — it seems like new ones are coming out every day! For all of our food and snack reviews, make sure to stay tuned to DFB.

Although most of Disneyland Resort remains closed for the time being, Downtown Disney reopened for business this summer. World of Disney at Downtown Disney Downtown Disney stays pretty busy on weekends, weekdays tend to be quieter — except for today, when we noticed weekend-level crowds there. These crowds are probably due to today being Veteran’s Day, a national holiday. But we still found it a little surprising to have to wait in a long line of cars to park at the Simba parking lot. And once parked, we noticed a lot of people heading to the entrance. Downtown Disney Crowds There’s also a long line to get through the temperature and security checks. The line currently switches back five or six times. Downtown Disney Crowds However, everyone is doing their best at maintaining social distancing. Cast Members are also walking down the line and explaining the health and safety guidelines to guests waiting to get in. Downtown Disney Crowds The line for World of Disney switches back and wraps all the way back to lost and found in the esplanade. Downtown Disney Crowds It’s likely these crowds will be more evenly dispersed between Downtown Disney and California Adventure — even on weekends — once Buena Vista Street in California Adventure opens for limited dining and shopping.

Disney Channel is celebrating the holidays for kids and families in some special ways this year, including bringing more holiday magic to Walt Disney World Resort! Disney Channel’s first of three holiday specials is “Disney Holiday Magic Quest,” a high-stakes challenge that navigates Magic Kingdom Park. Raven-Symoné virtually hosts the challenge, which features “ZOMBIES 2” stars Milo Manheim, Kylee Russell, Ariel Martin, and Pearce Joza competing in a holiday adventure through Magic Kingdom Park. After iconic Disney villains Maleficent and Evil Queen steal holiday magic, the stars must overcome obstacles and complete challenges to restore the joy of the season. The challenges take place throughout Magic Kingdom Park and include iconic attractions and locations like Haunted Mansion and Cinderella Castle. The four stars are also competing for a grand prize that will benefit Toys for Tots, a nonprofit organization that delivers hope and the magic of the holidays to less fortunate children. Tune in for the premiere of “Disney Holiday Magic Quest” on Disney Channel, Friday, Dec. 4 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT to see if the stars successfully restore the holiday magic throughout their Magic Kingdom Park adventure! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/rJxAClfL1GwView the full article

There are SO many things to watch on Disney+ but there a bunch of new movies and shows on the way! ©Disney Just today, we shared a trailer for the new Mickey Mouse animated short series and a look at the Black Beauty movie coming soon, but now we’ve got MORE Disney+ news about an all new, original Christmas comedy! Today, Disney+ has officially announced that the new movie Godmothered will debut exclusively on Disney+ on Friday, December 4th! The film is set at Christmas time and follows the story of Eleanor, “a young, inexperienced fairy godmother-in-training” (played by Jillian Bell), who “upon hearing that her chosen profession is facing extinction, decides to show the world that people still need fairy godmothers.” ©Disney Eleanor finds a mislaid letter from a 10-year-old girl and tracks her down. The girl, Mackenzie, has grown up QUITE a bit since she wrote that letter and is now a 40-year-old single mom (played by Isla Fisher) who is working in a news station in Boston. Mackenzie lost her husband several years earlier and “has all but given up on the idea of ‘Happily Ever After,’ but Eleanor is bound and determined to give Mackenzie a happiness makeover, whether she likes it or not.” ©Disney It sounds like a heartfelt and funny film that’s sure to add some magic to your holiday season! Godmothered is directed by Sharon Maguire (Bridget Jones’s Diary, Bridget Jones’s Baby) and produced by Justin Springer (Dumbo, TRON: Legacy). In addition to Jillian Bell and Isla Fisher, the movie stars Santiago Cabrera, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, Jane Curtin, June Squibb, Jillian Shea Spaeder, Willa Skye, Artemis Pebdani, Utkarsh Ambudkar and Stephnie Weir. We LOVE a good holiday movie, so we’re definitely excited to check this one out. We’ll be on the lookout for more Disney+ news and let you know what we find!

Wowza! We weren’t too sure how we were going to feel about Disney World’s latest boozy bev. Tomato Margarita! We recently shared with you guys that a tomato…yes, a tomato margarita was making it’s way to EPCOT. Well, guess what folks? It’s here! And we found it to actually be…surprisingly delicious! You can find the new Tomato Margarita at La Cava del Tequila in EPCOT. The tomatoes are fresh, which gives the drink a really great taste. If you love Bloody Mary’s, we have a feeling this drink will likely be your jam! Tomato Margarita Also, if you’re the type of person who LOVES putting salt on your tomatoes or watermelon, this is totally the drink for you! Tomato Margarita If you want a stronger drink, go ahead and add a second shot of tequila. The tequila itself doesn’t overpower the flavor of the drink AND (even better) you’ll get a Tomato Margarita HAT if you order a second drink! We’re not sure how long these hats will be available, so you’ll want to stop by soon to grab one and be sure to ask the Cast Members working there about it. Tomato Margarita If you aren’t a big blended tomato or tequila fan, however, you’ll probably want to run FAR away. This thing probably isn’t for you! Tomato Margarita But, overall we found the drink to be really tasty and refreshing! If you’re feeling adventurous and want to give this NEW tomato margarita a try, head over to La Cava del Tequila where you can try this creation for $18 plus tax.

If you’ve been reading DFB for a while, you know that we’re all about those holiday snacks! We spent a whole day at Disney World last week trying out all the holiday snacks, but there still seems to be new additions every day! Seasonal Wreath Cupcake Even though we love the new and creative treats each year, we’re also suckers for holiday makeovers on classic Disney snacks. Classics like cookies, rice krispies, and Mickey-shaped cinnamon rolls still catch our eye, even though we’ve had them a million times! And today, there’s a new treat to add to that list — a holiday funnel cake! This twist on a typical theme park treat is called the Fa La La La Funnel Cake and it’s available at Sleepy Hollow in Magic Kingdom! We got some photos thanks to our friend @themeparkologist on Instagram. @themeparkologist on Instagram This holiday snack is made of a powdered sugar funnel cake with strawberry topping, whipped cream, and holiday sprinkles. Sleepy Hollow already had a very similar funnel cake on their menu — just without the holiday sprinkles. @themeparkologist on Instagram If you’d like to try it out, you can get it now for $7.99, the same price as it was previously without sprinkles. The Sleepy Hollow funnel cakes are pretty big, so it might be wise to split this treat with your friends. There are sure to be plenty more Christmas snacks arriving all around Walt Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for the latest! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

With Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary fast approaching, there are a lot of touch-ups and changes happening around the resort! Painting Cinderella Castle We’ve seen Cinderella Castle get a makeover, new rides under construction, and new dining options coming soon! The latest addition to the list of construction projects is an update to the Walt Disney World entrance signs, and today we’ve got pictures on the progress! For reference, here’s a picture of one of the signs before the painting started. It’s a very classic Disney look, but the colors had begun to fade a tad. Walt Disney World Entrance Sign And here’s the concept art for what the signs should look like after repainting! It’s a sleeker and more modern look, and they’ve changed the text from “Where Dreams Come True” to “The Most Magical Place on Earth.” ©Disney Via the Disney Parks Blog As we pulled up to one of the signs today, we noticed that only the right half had been completed so far. The columns are now a gray color, and Mickey’s background is now a solid blue. Walt Disney World entrance sign It’s very clear to see where the changes occur when you look at Mickey’s side next to Minnie’s. This is definitely a full-scale makeover! Walt Disney World entrance sign At the top of the sign, you can see the posts where the new flag pennants are to be attached. Underneath “Walt Disney World,” we noticed that the old “Where Dreams Come True” signage had been removed. Walt Disney World entrance sign Here’s a look at the sign from the back. Not as much going on from this side, but you can clearly see how far they’ve made it with the painting. Walt Disney World entrance sign This update complements lots of the changes happening around the parks! The color scheme that they’ve chosen will match well with the new Cinderella Castle paint job. We’re very excited about all the new changes, updates, and offerings for Walt Disney World’s 50th, so stay tuned to DFB for the latest news!
