We’ve seen a LOT of malfunctions in the Disney World parks this year. The…Two Caballeros We’ve seen José break down on the Gran Fiesta Tour, Elsa forget the words to her signature song, and most recently, we saw Buzz Lightyear go speechless. We can’t blame them, it’s been a pretty tough year for sure. Today, yet another Disney attraction is having issues — Spaceship Earth! When walking through EPCOT last night, we noticed that the ride queue was empty and the entrance was blocked. Rides frequently have downtime in Disney World, so it’s usually not a big deal, but this morning Spaceship Earth was still closed. Spaceship Earth Closed for Technical Difficulties When we spoke to the Cast Members stationed at the entrance of the attraction, they said it was closed due to technical difficulties. They shared that the ride would be down “until further notice.” Spaceship Earth Closed for Technical Difficulties “Until further notice” means that we may or may not see this ride open up today. We’ll continue to share any updates we get on the subject! To Read About Theming Elements Coming to EPCOT, Click HERE! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

Although Disney World reopened in the summer, there are still many dining locations that remain closed. Harambe Market However, we’ve slowly seen dining locations reopening, including Cinderella’s Royal Table, Chefs de France, along with others. And it looks like another dining location might reopen as soon as this weekend — Animal Kingdom’s Harambe Market. Although the official Disney World page for Harambe Market still shows it temporarily unavailable, actual hours are listed for this weekend, for both Saturday, November 14th, and Sunday, November 15th from 10AM to 3PM. While Disney hasn’t officially announced that this location is reopening, updated hours tend to be a tell-tell sign. This is how we first spotted that Chefs de France would be reopening a few weeks back. Harambe Market Page ©Disney However, hours for the following Monday show that Harambe Market is closed then, meaning that it could potentially only be open on the weekends, at least for now. However, we’ve seen some locations start with weekend-only hours that eventually went to being open every day, including EPCOT’s Sommerfest and Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe. Burudika Music at Harambe Market Although the market is known for its bowls, gyros, and sausages, some of these items are no longer on the new menu. We recently noticed that the chicken gyro, roasted vegetable bowl, and pork sausages are no longer on the menu. The kids’ menu also featured some changes: apple slices and carrots were removed and replaced with apple sauce and mandarin oranges. The corn dog is also missing from the kids’ menu. Macaroni and Cheese from Harambe Market These menu changes are also another sign that the location will open soon, giving guests one more dining option at Animal Kingdom, at least on the weekends for now. And we’ll keep you informed of other reopenings, too! PHOTOS! Virtually Explore the Nighttime Holiday Decor at Disney’s Animal Kingdom With Us!

On behalf of all of us at Disney, we would like to give a warm “Bienvenida” to Princesa María! Just last week, six-year-old María, who is being treated for leukemia, had her wish to be a princess come true. As a native Spanish speaker from Phoenix, Maria received a virtual royal visit – all in Spanish – from Princess Belle. Check out a heartwarming video of this first of its kind Disney wish in the United States to see how we were able to make María an honorary princess – creating a day of laughter and hope. “María was fascinated and asked me, “mom did you see that Belle is like me? That we are the same, that she speaks Spanish like me?” said wish mom Brenda. “She loved the video and we thought it was truly beautiful. Their words, everything they said, it was exactly how María is.” Like many children around the world, María grew up watching Disney movies in her native language. So when it came time for her wish, we wanted to create a magical meeting with Belle, who read a personalized story to María and taught her how to become a Disney Princess entirely in Spanish. “Just as Disney stories are shared in dozens of languages around the world, Make-A-Wish grants wishes for children of all backgrounds,” said Richard K. Davis, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish America. “This wish is the perfect example of how we strive to creatively grant wishes that also resonate culturally and authentically with wish kids and their families.” Since 1980, Disney and Make-A-Wish have been making wishes come true for children with critical illnesses around the world. We are so proud to celebrate this 40-year milestone with them, just as we were proud to help grant the very first official wish at Disneyland Resort back in 1980. And while 2020 has been a challenging year for everyone - wish granters included – it has also created opportunities to grant wishes in a whole new way. Disney and Make-A-Wish have had to think outside the box to continue to make life-changing wishes come true and provide hope and inspiration to children around the world. Pre-pandemic, one out of every two wishes granted in the U.S. was a Disney wish, and together, Disney has worked with Make-A-Wish to make more than 140,000 wishes come true, including their recently granted 500,000th wish. Granting these inspiring Disney wishes creates magical memories for children and their families, and we will continue to do our part to make children’s wishes come true in a meaningful way. A global pandemic may be enough to put some aspects of life on hold, but monumental moments and wishes like these are far too important to be missed! Felicidades a la Princesa María y a todos los niños y niñas con enfermedades graves que quieren cumplir sus deseos. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/UiEm1dkD80QView the full article

It’s no secret that the Cheshire Cat Tail is one of our favorite Magic Kingdom snacks! Cheshire Cat Tail When the parks first reopened, we went on quite the quest to find our beloved pastry snack! Cheshire Cafe, the snack stand where you can usually order this beauty, still hasn’t reopened — so the pastry made its way over to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe. For a while, Cosmic Ray’s was the only place you could order the cat tail…until now! Yesterday we reported that Magic Kingdom’s The Lunching Pad was now open daily! When checking out their online menu, we noticed a change in the breakfast section! Listed as Cheshire Café Cat Tail, it appears that our beloved has made its way to another location in Magic Kingdom. Screenshot of The Lunching Pad’s breakfast menu It’s only listed on the breakfast menu, so it seems as though it’ll only be available for part of the day. We reached out to a Cast Member via the Disney World website to find out more, and she shared that we’d likely only have the window of 10:00AM – 11:30AM to snag this treat! The Lunching Pad We’ll definitely be investigating this further, as we believe that everyone should get the chance to try the Cheshire Cat Tail! If you’ve never had one, it’s a flakey pastry filled with chocolate and topped with LOADS of drizzled icing. It’s delicious and one of our must-try Disney World snacks, there’s simply no other way to put it! Cheshire Cat Tail If this sounds appetizing, you should be able to grab it for breakfast at The Lunching Pad for $5.49! Don’t forget that it’s also still available at Cosmic Ray’s throughout the day, so don’t fret if you miss the breakfast window at The Lunching Pad!

The Christmas season is coming up in Disney World and that means it’s about time for the BUSIEST season of the year. Magic Kingdom Of course, the holidays won’t look quite as busy this year with the limited capacity and demand due to the global health crisis, but we’ve still seen Disney Park Pass theme park reservations fill up pretty quickly for December. If you missed out on your reservation, we’ve got good news today! This morning, the first three weeks of December saw added Park Pass availability in all four parks. Previously, we’d seen availability for Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios each fill on various days for the different ticket categories. Availability Screenshot Now, though, all four parks are available from December 1st through December 19th. The week of Christmas is still booked at this time, but you can definitely snag a reservation to get your holiday celebrating on earlier in the month. Availability Screenshot For Annual Passholders, this means that the only December day to have limited availability is Christmas Day at this time. Magic Kingdom is currently full for all ticket categories on December 25th. Availability Screenshot Park Pass availability is subject to change at any time so stay tuned to DFB for the latest updates about when Passes book up or, like today, become suddenly available.

On Veterans Day, we recognize with gratitude all those who have, at any point in their lives, stepped up and worn a uniform to serve our country. This year, we’re expressing our commitment to military veterans and families in a brand-new way. At sunrise on this Veterans Day 2020, we began with a special salute. New Traditions With the early morning sun gilding Cinderella Castle, just down Main Street U.S.A., members of our Disney cast recognized our nation’s heroes with a special Veterans Day flag-raising ceremony in Magic Kingdom Park. Accompanied by a fife and drum, honor guards representing our security team, Orange County Sheriff’s Office and Reedy Creek Fire Department marched in procession to Town Square for the hoisting of our nation‘s colors. This commemoration held special meaning for Walt Disney World Resort Security Manager Mike Viola, who joined the Disney family five years ago, following a 31-year career in the U.S. Navy. He and his wife Leslie, a 20-year Navy veteran and former WDW Security Investigator cast member, have been coming to the resort since they said “I do” in 1992. Since that time, the pair deployed seven times between them in 12 years of service, and their love of Disney served as a way to pass the time and keep their family connected. During time apart, Mike and his family would watch Disney DVDs “together” (at their respective locations) and plan a trip to Disney once each deployment was over – making dining reservations to keep everyone focused on reuniting together at Walt Disney World once the mission was complete. They loved Disney so much, both Mike and Leslie came to work for the company after retiring from the Navy. As Mike puts it, “I work at Disney because of the joy this company has brought to not only my family but tens of thousands of other families who visit every day.” Honoring Veterans in the Skies Over Walt Disney World Resort A few days earlier, U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds helped Walt Disney World mark the beginning of National Veterans and Military Families Month with a goose-bump-inducing flyover while they were in the area for an air show. The flight was a special tribute those who have served in uniform as well as our fallen military heroes, and we are honored that they chose our resort as the venue. Honoring Veterans on Seven Seas Lagoon You can also find tributes to veterans every single day at our Disney Parks. Here at Walt Disney World, statues of Walt and Roy Disney grace each end of Main Street, U.S.A., and the brothers each served in uniform during World War I. In fact, Roy was recuperating in a veterans’ hospital when Walt visited him and pitched the idea for what became The Walt Disney Company. Nearby, on Seven Seas Lagoon, another homage to veterans often passes unnoticed. Navy Admiral Joe Fowler and Army General Joe Potter were each essential to the creation of The Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World. In 1997, Disney honored these two flag-rank veterans by naming the ever-popular Seven Seas Lagoon ferryboats after them. You can read the story about the Admiral Joe Fowler and General Joe Potter ferryboats on the D23 website here. Thank You for Your Service Over the years, one tradition cast members with military service at Disneyland and Walt Disney World have come to enjoy is the annual character sketch depicting different beloved Disney characters saying “Thank you for your service” each year. This tradition began at Disneyland Resort around 20 years ago when the sketch created by their Entertainment Art team was presented to cast member veterans after the annual Veterans Day Flag Retreat ceremony. The tradition expanded to include Walt Disney World Cast Veterans in recent years. This year’s print features Chip & Dale offering a hearty salute to those who have served our nation. You can also download and open the My Disney Experience App today for a special Veterans Day message. We at Disney are grateful for all those who have served and continue to serve. On Veterans Day and beyond, we thank you for your service! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/I3uGyg7n2_IView the full article
