Sprinkle scallops with ¼ teaspoon pepper and arrange in a single layer in a large skillet; add oil and heat over medium-low heat 3 minutes or until small bubbles form. Cook 10 minutes or until scallops turn opaque throughout and internal temperature reaches 145°F, reducing heat, if necessary, to maintain gentle bubbles; use a spoon to occasionally ladle oil over scallops throughout cooking.

Tuna au Poivre & Radish-Cucumber Crunch Salad This salad is easy to make and looks like something straight out of a restaurant! ©Dole Food Company Ingredients 3 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme 4 (1-inch-thick) tuna steaks (about 10 ounces each) 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons olive oil ¾ teaspoon salt 1 bag (12.2 ounces) DOLE® Chopped Sunflower Crunch Kit 1¼ cups thinly sliced English cucumber 1 cup thinly sliced DOLE® Radishes Directions Stir pepper and thyme in a small bowl.

The temperature has started to drop, the fuzzy sweaters are out, and Christmas has started to sweep its way across Disney World! Christmas Decorations While the parks will be in a full holiday swing from November 6th through December 30th, entertainment and experiences in the parks and resorts are seeing some MAJOR differences this Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s. As you start planning your upcoming Disney World vacation, we’re making sure you have all the details about how the holidays will be new and unlike years past! Cinderella Castle In previous years, we’ve seen Cinderella Castle all lit up in the Castle Dream Lights to create a Winter Wonderland in Disney World. However, now that nighttime spectaculars have been suspended during this time, regular holiday shows and fireworks will not be occurring in the Magic Kingdom. Cinderella Castle Dream Lights Instead, the Castle will have festive projections to add some flair to guests’ Christmas card photos as it is transformed into a series of designs like an ugly Christmas sweater or red, green, and gold ornaments. ©Disney While some fans of the Dream Lights (and Elsa lighting magically lighting them up each night!) might be sad to see them gone this year, the projections look like a fun way to still enjoy the season in front of Cinderella Castle each night. We think that just gives us an excuse to buy multiple holiday spirit jerseys to pose in front of the castle this year! Take a look at the recent test of holiday projections on Cinderella Castle! Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party Parties are a no-go in the parks right now with distancing measures and capacity limits in place (currently capped at 25%). Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party was canceled this past spooky season and the holidays are going to look a bit different as Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party has been canceled this year as well. Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party 2019 However, elements from the event will be making their way into the parks as Character Cavalcades, specials treats, and falling snow (AKA snoap, the real heart of the Disney Christmas season obviously!) are incorporated in Disney World as everyday features! Snoap at Sunset Seasons Greetings Not gonna lie, we’re pretty pumped for more excuses to check out snoap in Disney World! Check out all the treats coming to Disney World this holiday season! Character Cavalcades There’s just something extra magical about Christmas in Disney World where you can watch characters put on their holiday best and wish everyone a “Merry Christmas” in the parks! The Once Upon a Christmastime Parade featured during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (and typically during the day the week of Christmas) will not be taking place this year. But themed Character Cavalcades will transform the atmosphere of Disney World all season long instead. Once Upon a Christmastime Parade Each of the four theme parks will host various experiences with holiday promenades in EPCOT, merry motorcades in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, festive flotillas in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Christmas cavalcades in the Magic Kingdom. Along with the gingerbread men, elves, reindeer, and the famous toy soldiers marching along with the Main Street Philharmonic, the Fab Five and other classic friends will be jamming out to Christmas music as they greet guests during the modified entertainment too! Toy Soldiers During the Once Upon a Christmastime Parade Even though the Christmas Parties aren’t happening this year, at least all guests in Magic Kingdom can have a chance to check out those awesome Toy Soldiers marching down the street! Want to see what Characters you’ll be able to spot in EPCOT this season? Click here! Santa Claus Meet-and-Greets Santa will even be making an appearance during the Christmas Cavalcades, along with pop-ups, distanced appearance in each of the parks, and Disney Springs — by BOAT! Keep in mind that meet-and-greets have been halted since Disney World opened, so your kiddos won’t be able to sit on Santa’s lap this year. Santa! BUT, he’ll still be bringing holiday cheer during Christmastime (and hopefully lots of presents too). Recently, we’ve seen characters like Anna and Elsa separated from guests as they are stationed behind gates and other barriers during their interactions. Santa and Mrs. Claus in Epcot’s American Adventure Pavilion Santa Claus could potentially have a similar area set up in the parks, as photo opportunities and booths have been built in past years. Disney hasn’t revealed too much just yet concerning how guests can interact with Jolly Ol’ Saint Nick, but we’ll keep you posted as we learn more! Here’s all the holiday entertainment coming to the parks this year! Gingerbread Houses While we could sip and snack on Gingerbread Lattes and cookies all day, every day during Christmastime, Disney has announced that the Gingerbread Houses won’t be returning at the resorts this year. (We’ll miss that sweet smell when we enter Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort or Disney’s Beach Club Resort! ) Grand Floridian Gingerbread House. There’s still good news, though, because EPCOT’s patriotic Capitol City Gingerbread Display will be featured in the park this year! Even though the decoration has taken over the American Adventure Pavilion in previous years, it will be moved over to the World Showplace for more guests to visit in a distanced manner. American Adventure Gingerbread Display Disney is shaking things up a little more though with the changes in the display that are going to feature the United States Capitol Building, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, and a giant Washington Monument throughout this upcoming holiday season! Festival of the Holidays Olaf’s Holiday Tradition Expedition EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays are coming back to Disney World with “highlights” from previous festivals and new entertainment in the parks! Along with the food booths that will be available starting November 27th, events like the new Olaf’s Holiday Tradition Expedition will bring family and friends together for a festive scavenger hunt! Olaf and Sven The Frozen version of the World Showplace scavenger hunt game is replacing Chip & Dale’s Christmas Tree Spree Scavenger Hunt as guests search for Olaf in each pavilion and match the location sticker on the scavenger hunt map to the traditions you can find in the countries. Once Upon a Christmastime Parade Disney has detailed that “Olaf can be spotted sledding all around World Showcase, collecting new and interesting holiday traditions to share with Anna and Elsa. Unfortunately, he’s had a bit of a bumpy ride…and has misplaced some traditions during his journey.” Once you’ve found all the missing traditions, you can pick up a prize at Disney Traders, Mouse Gear, or World Traveler. ©Disney Guests can purchase the Olaf’s Holiday Tradition Expedition map and stickers from places like Mouse Gear, World Traveler, Port of Entry, Stroller Rental locations, International Gateway, and the merchandise cart in Canada for $7.99. Read MORE about the Olaf-themed Scavenger Hunt here! Live Performances And, while you’re hopping around the park, you can chill out at the World ShowPlace to listen to JOYFUL! perform R&B, Gospel, contemporary, and traditional Christmas hits. Voices of Liberty This year, the Voices of Liberty will be moving from the American Adventure Pavilion to the big stage at the America Gardens Theatre to perform a Capella carols and holiday songs for guests. Read more about 2020 holiday entertainment in Disney World here! Candlelight Processional Although other entertainment will be returning back to Disney World for Christmas this year, the beautiful Candlelight Processional that brings a celebrity-narrated performance, 50-piece orchestra, and choir with Cast Members and special guests has been canceled. The event would take three times throughout the evening during the holiday season, but health and safety regulations have caused the Candlelight Processional to be halted this year. Epcot’s Candlelight Processional This event was a big fan-favorite so we know many were disappointed to hear it wouldn’t be taking place this year. You can still snack around EPCOT at the Holiday Kitchen booths though, so at least you can drown your sorrows in delicious cookies and more! Click here to see what goodies are coming to EPCOT this holiday season! Although there are some major differences in how the parks and resorts will look in Disney World, we can’t wait to experience the changes that will still make the holiday season just as magical as ever! As we explore the parks throughout Christmastime this year, we’ll give you a look at everything you can expect before your upcoming vacation!

In early September, Gideon’s announced that they were hiring for their Disney Springs location, so it seems like we’re definitely getting closer to entering cookie heaven very soon! Gideon’s Bakehouse Construction When could this spot be opening? Click here to see what we know! M&M’s Store Late last year, it was announced that an M&M’s Store would be coming to Disney Springs in 2020. We recently noticed that they have actually very quietly delayed that grand opening to 2021, but, as far as we can tell, construction on the store location does appear to be moving forward. M&M’s Store Construction During our last trip to Disney Springs, we saw some people working on the building. M&M’s Store Construction We could see some large insulation rolls in the building and it looked like that is what the workers were focusing on at the moment. M&M’s Store Construction We could see one of the workers putting the insulation between the steel framing. M&M’s Store Construction So, even though the grand opening has been delayed, we are hoping that we’ll see this location finally open up in 2021! M&M’s Store Construction Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew is another spot we’ve been keeping a close eye on. They recently made a hiring announcement and shared photos of some of the donuts they’ll have available when they open, so it definitely looks like we’re getting closer to eating our weight in donuts from this spot soon! Everglazed Construction In terms of construction, we couldn’t exactly see anyone working in this area, but we could hear some construction noises. We also noticed that the sidewalk between Everglazed and Splitsville Luxury Lanes has now been blocked with some construction walls. Everglazed Construction Once Gideon’s Bakehouse, the M&M’s Store, and Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew all open, someone is going to have to ROLL us out of Disney Springs! Disney Springs Decoration Updates With the holiday season set to officially begin in Disney World on November 6th, we’ve been keeping an eye on ALL the holiday decorations and merchandise popping up everywhere! At Disney Springs, there’s a mix of fall and winter decor. We found fall decor still up in several stores, although some holiday window decorations have started to appear. Disney Springs Holiday Window Displays We also saw that the “Fall into Magic” signs have been removed, and that the fall bench photo op in front of the PhotoPass Studio was also gone! During our last trip, we felt like Disney Springs was fairly empty, but we expect crowds will increase as the holidays get closer. Well, that’s all for us from Disney Springs! We’ll keep stopping by Disney Springs, the Disney hotels, and the Disney World theme parks to see what’s new. Be sure to come back for all the latest updates!

We are SO into the holiday season at Disney World, and we’ve been enjoying all the new and colorful decorations we’ve been seeing at Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom, and Animal Kingdom! Boat with Plexiglass But we just noticed that one EPCOT attraction just recently got a bit of a holiday cheer, too! Some feel that Living With The Land is one of the most underrated attractions at EPCOT, and we ride it every chance we get. It’s so relaxing hopping in a boat and learning about the history of farming, as well as seeing some of Disney’s greenhouses! But today, we noticed that the greenhouses now had holiday lights! Living With The Land Holiday Lights Holiday lights are now wrapped around the poles of the scaffolding used inside the greenhouses. These plants are about to feel a lot merrier! Living With The Land Holiday Lights We can’t wait to see what it looks like all lit up! Living With The Land Holiday Lights Living with the Land had LOTS received a BIG holiday overlay last year.

There are so many fantastic superheroes that make up the Avengers, but one of the most iconic is Iron Man, a.k.a. Tony Stark. ©CinemaBlend | Marvel We’ll just say it — we love Iron Man 3,000! We’ve ogled at the incredible Nano Gauntlet Collectible, grabbed our Iron Man MagicBand, and watched the Marvel movies on Disney+ LOTS of times. But now, Iron Man fans have another way to show their love for this superhero. Today, as we made our way around Magic Kingdom (admiring all the holiday decor), we stopped by Uptown Jewelers. That’s where we found this INCREDIBLE Limited-Edition “I Love You 3000” Tony Stark Watch from Citizen. “I Love You 3000” Watch Before we talk about the watch itself, can we just admire the case it comes in for a second?! The area around the watch itself looks like an Arc Reactor and is absolutely fantastic. This is definitely one of those display boxes you’ll want to keep around to hold your watch in. “I Love You 3000” Watch As the card indicates, it is a limited edition watch from Citizen… “I Love You 3000” Watch …of which only 1,500 are available! “I Love You 3000” Watch When we visited Uptown Jewelers, the Cast Member told us they had 2 of these watches in stock. The watch itself says “Proof That Tony Stark Has a Heart” on the inside. “I Love You 3000” Watch This line is a reference to Tony Stark’s original arc reactor, which Pepper Pots gifts back to him (after he creates a new one) with this inscription on it. The watch itself also has some design features reminding us of an Arc Reactor. “I Love You 3000” Watch One of the best, little details on this watch is actually on the back, where it has Tony Stark’s signature. “I Love You 3000” Watch You can get this watch right now for $495. “I Love You 3000” Watch While we were at Uptown Jewelers, we also spotted two more Avengers watches. Avengers Watches This one, priced at $350, has the Avengers logo on it. Avengers Watch We also saw this Spider-Man watch available for $395. Avengers Watch If you’re going to be checking the time, might as well check it with an EPIC watch!

We’ve been talking a LOT about Christmas lately, but we can’t forget about Thanksgiving! After all, we are EATERS around here. Turkey Gobbler Sandwich Christmas might have some yummy snacks and meals, but the food is the CENTERPIECE of a good Thanksgiving. Luckily, we found a pretty awesome tribute to Turkey Day in Disney World today — and it’s in SANDWICH form. We’re heading over to Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground today to try out the Turkey Gobbler Sandwich, a limited-edition offering this month to celebrate Thanksgiving! Turkey Gobbler Sandwich This BIG sammie is made with house-smoked turkey breast on a super-soft Tuscan roll. Add cornbread stuffing, gravy, and orange-cranberry sauce and you’ve got yourself a Thanksgiving eat! The meal comes with french fries too! Turkey Gobbler Sandwich And yes, this is a BIG sandwich. This is an easily shareable portion or a hefty meal for one. The turkey was our favorite part because it was super juicy — kind of like the turkey from Trail’s End when it’s open! Turkey Gobbler Sandwich The sandwich was super warm with a touch of sweetness from the sauce. That was balanced with a little bit of salty flavor from the gravy, though! There was a LOT going on here but it all worked together really well! Turkey Gobbler Sandwich IMO, the only con to this sandwich is how messy it is! We had a LOT of stuffing on ours (maybe a little too much!) but if you’re a stuffing fan, it’s a dream. We def recommend this meal to anyone who’s a big fan of traditional Thanksgiving dinner! Turkey Gobbler Sandwich You can find the Turkey Gobbler Sandwich for $11.99 at P & J’s Southern Takeout RIGHT NOW! So, head on over to get your Thanksgiving fix!

As Disney Springs is gearing up for the holiday season, we are getting in one more stroll before the festivities begin. Ghirardelli Soda Fountain in Disney Springs One of our stops today was Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop to try the new White Chocolate Caramel Steamer. Because… white chocolate caramel. You don’t have to tell us twice! Let’s get to sippin’! The White Chocolate Caramel Steamer is made with not one, but TWO Ghirardelli White Chocolate Caramel Squares blended into the cocoa and steamed milk. White Chocolate Caramel Steamer And a bit more caramel is drizzled over the froth and whipped cream. White Chocolate Caramel Steamer AND you even receive a third square as a garnish! You can save it for later or blend into your drink. White Chocolate Caramel Steamer Our recommendation? White Chocolate Caramel Steamer Save it for later… because this beverage is already incredibly sweet as it is. It’s certainly flavorful — almost like drinking a cup of hot caramel — and very rich. So much so, though, that it is quite the feat to finish the whole cup! While the White Chocolate Caramel Steamer is ultimately a bit too sweet for our tastes, we imagine the kiddos enjoying this as a special holiday treat that offers a little something different from your typical hot cocoa. Oh, and speaking of hot cocoa… don’t forget that you can grab a Peppermint Hot Cocoa here, or the popular Sea Salt Caramel Hot Cocoa, too! Check out another classic holiday drink we tried this week right here! If you’d like to give this sweet sip a try, it’s $5.50 at Ghirardelli in the Marketplace. No matter which “cup of cheer” you try, be sure to take some time to enjoy your drink while strolling around looking at the Christmas Trees, enjoying the newly announced entertainment, and spotting a sailing Santa… it’s all happening THIS HOLIDAY SEASON in Disney Springs!

Disney California Adventure Park California Adventure’s Buena Vista Street will reopen with a limited number of stores and restaurants available, including the Carthay Circle Lounge.

For starters, the restaurant is getting a new menu with small plates of Mediterranean-California light types of food created by Chefs Andrew Sutton and Alex Flores. Carthay Circle Longe New Menu The seasonal menu will feature the Carthay shrimp roll, harissa-roasted lamb, soy-glazed salmon, lemon-crusted fish of the day, and an artisan cheese board.

Although the Disneyland Resort theme parks cannot reopen under California’s current theme park guidelines, Disneyland recently announced that it would be opening Buena Vista Street in Disney California Adventure Park for some limited shopping and dining starting this month! Red Car Trolley Just yesterday we saw the Red Car Trolley in the park being worked on, and we were getting so excited just thinking about when we’ll be able to step past the gates at Disney California Adventure once again. And NOW we know exactly WHEN Buena Vista Street will be opening! MARK YOUR CALENDARS! Buena Vista Street will be opening for some limited shopping and dining experiences on…NOVEMBER 19th! Disney California Adventure Park With this “extension” of the Downtown Disney District, you’ll be able to enjoy some new and some returning menu items and holiday merchandise. Disney has also said to “stay tuned for more holiday happenings!” We’re not entirely sure what that means, but holidays + Disneyland = pure joy for us. More permanent signage installed at the gates to Disney California Adventure Important note: Beginning November 19th, there will be a $10 fee per car for parking at Downtown Disney District in the Simba Lot. Additionally, the number of guests visiting Downtown Disney District will be limited to promote social distancing, so that’s something to keep in mind. If Buena Vista Street or its queue reaches capacity, Disney may utilize the mobile wait list system (similar to the way they’ve used it at other stores in Downtown Disney) so that’s something to on the lookout for.

Disney World has been implementing an updated security screening process since it reopened in July. Security Screening The new process minimizes the need for bag check by allowing guests to walk through updated security scanners WITH their bags. If the terminals flag a bag, then Cast Members do a limited-touch search. Now, this system has come to Disney Springs. Up to this point, Disney Springs has not had a security screening or bag check system in place, but today, we spotted the new security screening terminals. Security Screening We entered the complex through the Orange Garage and spotted the new process, but a security Cast Member told us that the new process is in place in BOTH garages. Disney Springs So, now, when you enter Disney Springs you’ll go through the temperature check and then through the security screening, just like you would going into a Disney park. Temperature Checks As always, stay tuned to DFB for the latest updates from Disney World! Click here to learn more about the NEW security screening process!

We’re excited to share that Buena Vista Street opens Nov. 19, extending the Downtown Disney District at the Disneyland Resort with more Disney shopping and dining experiences. Discover new and returning favorite menu items plus holiday gifts and apparel, and stay tuned for more holiday happenings! Here’s a peek at what you can expect beginning Nov. 19: Carthay Circle Restaurant, known for its upscale cuisine, is introducing Carthay Circle Lounge – Alfresco Dining, a new outdoor dining environment and menu featuring Mediterranean-California light fare, with small plates that can be shared or enjoyed separately at Carthay Circle Lounge. The seasonal menu created by Chefs Andrew Sutton and Alex Flores will feature the Carthay shrimp roll, harissa-roasted lamb, soy-glazed salmon, lemon-crusted fish of the day and an artisan cheese board. Kids will find menu options just for them, including orecchiette pasta with marinara and orange dragon chicken skewers. Relax and step back in time at this throwback venue that boasts distinct attention to detail. Unwind with flavorful, international fare and a glass of wine, craft beers or a cool cocktail, enjoying expanded outdoor seating and amazing views of Buena Vista Street. On another corner, stop by Fiddler, Fifer & Practical Cafe for a yummy hot chocolate and a cranberry orange scone. Or, place your mobile order for corn dogs or soft drinks at Award Wieners, or for Smokejumpers Grill, serving bacon cheeseburgers, chicken tenders, onion rings, waffle fries, kids’ meals, and vanilla and chocolate shakes. Along Buena Vista Street, Disney magic brings a nostalgic throwback to the 1920s and ’30s. The boulevard depicts a typical Los Angeles neighborhood where a young Walt Disney lived and worked after arriving in Southern California in 1923. This idyllic setting captures the quaint “mom-and-pop” shops of the time and a big-city department store including Elias & Co., Julius Katz & Sons, Kingswell Camera Shop and Trolley Treats, where you can find unique Disney apparel and gifts. Beginning Nov. 19, there will be a $10 fee per car for parking at the Downtown Disney District in the Simba Lot. The number of guests visiting the Downtown Disney District and its locations, including the shopping and dining experiences along Buena Vista Street, will be limited to promote physical distancing. We may at times use the mobile wait list system when Buena Vista Street and/or its queue are at capacity, similar to the process at some retail locations in the Downtown Disney District. Disney California Adventure Park is currently closed. If you haven’t visited the Downtown Disney District lately, be sure to visit Disneyland.com/DTD to learn important information about updated experiences and other details including our health and safety measures such as the requirement for all guests, ages 2 and older, to wear a face covering. We look forward to welcoming you back to Buena Vista Street at the Downtown Disney District! http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/8vPXE_cMdEwView the full article

We have been keeping a close eye on all of the construction projects going on around Disney World, especially Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, which will be opening in the future in EPCOT. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Construction Today is a VERY special day though! Pull out those walkmans and get your mix tapes ready — we’ve got a SNEAK PEEK at the attraction vehicles for this epic rollercoaster! We saw some initial images of the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind vehicles back in 2019… Guardians of the Galaxy Ride Vehicles ©Disney …and there was even a Cosmic Rewind photo op at EPCOT with some cut outs that looked like the vehicle, but we really hadn’t seen any update on these for a while. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Photo Op Earlier today, however, Imagineer Zach Riddley posted a photo on his Instagram (@thezachriddley) giving us all a HUGE sneak peek at the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind vehicles! Riddley’s post explains that the individuals in the vehicles are two of the ride engineers working on the preparation of the vehicles at a warehouse in Florida. ©Zach Riddley via Instagram (@thezachriddley) Riddley’s post also says: “If you look closely at the colorful paint design on the vehicles (called coaches in roller coaster engineering parlance), each one is unique with different wear patterns and impact marks. Imagineers were inspired by markings that appear on NASA Space Shuttles and other spacecraft upon reentry into Earth’s atmosphere.” Riddley also notes that they “can’t wait to share more on this truly out-of-this-world, awesome attraction as we make progress on construction and put these coaches on the track!” WE CAN’T WAIT EITHER! Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind We are so excited to ride this attraction when it opens in the future! We’ll definitely keep passing by the future home of Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT to see if we can spot any changes or construction updates, and we’ll keep an eye out for more photos from Riddley and Disney Imagineering.
