Halloween is only a few days away, which means we’ve been ALL ABOUT the Haunted Mansion. That means you’ll find us drinking out of our Madame Leota Sipper, while carrying around our Haunted Mansion Dooney & Bourke bags, while munching on Constance’s For Better or For Worse Cake. Because why note, right?! Haunted Mansion We’ve also been visiting the Happy Haunts at Disney World’s Haunted Mansion on a regular basis! We’re totally okay with being the ONE MORE. But earlier this month, we noticed that one of the 999 Happy Haunts was missing. The Opera Singer Ghost had completely disappeared, vanished into nothingness! You might not know who she is, but here she is on an Opera Singer Figurine! Ring any bells? Opera Singer Figurine At the time, a Cast Member told us she was getting a bit of a touch-up and would return soon. And we are happy to report that the Opera Singer is BACK, and shall we say, looking as hauntingly dramatic as ever! We were very happy to see her back because 998 ghosts is simply not enough (although we did consider volunteering ourselves as a tribute to the Ghost Host). Welcome, back Opera Singing Lady! Here is a bit of fun trivia: the voice of the Haunted Mansion’s opera singer is Loulie Jean Norman, who many might know as the singer of the original Star Trek theme song!

We have had our fair share of caramel popcorn and other snacks from Werther’s Original at Karamell-Küche in EPCOT. Werther’s Selection But, we’re not exactly used to seeing a lot of Werther’s products in the Disney parks outside of EPCOT. Today, however we spotted some delicious looking Werther’s treats in a surprising spot. The Main Street Confectionary in Magic Kingdom is always full of delicious snacks. Confectionary Magic Kingdom But, today, we found something we’re not really used to seeing here — Werther’s Original Popcorn! Caramel Popcorn Actually, it was Werther’s Original Signature Caramel Popcorn with Chocolate Flavored Drizzle, to be exact. We’ve seen popcorn in the Main Street Confectionary before, but it’s typically Disney’s own packaged popcorn, so it was surprising, to us at least, to spot Werther’s popcorn at this spot. Caramel Popcorn We’re not sure if this means we’ll start seeing even more Werther’s items here, but we do LOVE a good bag of caramel popcorn so we were happy to see this snack available here for now. We’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney snack news, so be sure to come back for more updates! Click here to see our review of some very unique chips we found in EPCOT!

Getting a boarding group to ride Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance in Disney’s Hollywood Studios may be one of the toughest things to do throughout your entire Disney trip! Rise of the Resistance Recently, we saw Disney install plexiglass barriers on the ride’s vehicles which could potentially increase capacity, but now Disney have made a MAJOR announcement that will totally change how you can sign up in the morning for a boarding pass! Currently, in order to get a boarding pass for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance you must have a valid park ticket, a valid Park Pass reservation for Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and you must have already entered the park and be standing inside when the clock hits 10AM to try to grab a boarding group. You then have another chance at 2PM to see if you can try to board this super popular attraction. Rise of the Resistance Starting November 3rd, however, a new system will be put in place. You’ll still need a valid ticket to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and a valid Disney Park Pass reservation for the day you want to visit, BUT you’ll be able to access the virtual queue system and try to get a boarding group for Rise of the Resistance starting at 7AM on the day of your park reservation from OUTSIDE of Disney’s Hollywood Studios! That means, you can be in your hotel room, getting breakfast, or wherever else nearby and you can try to grab a boarding group at that time! Rise of the Resistance The 2PM boarding group sign-up process will not be changing however. You MUST be inside Hollywood Studios to sign up for a potential boarding group at 2PM. Live Stormtroopers in Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Disney has noted that they’re “hoping this new approach will make a day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios more enjoyable and relaxing, as guests no longer need to be inside the park each morning to request a boarding group for the first virtual queue opportunity. As a reminder, you need to be inside the park to request the 2 p.m. boarding groups.” Rise of the Resistance Disney has also noted, “To try to maximize the number of boarding groups we’re able to accommodate while adhering to current health and safety guidelines, we recently added a clear barrier between the two rows of seats on each First Order Fleet Transport vehicle inside the attraction. This enables us to invite more guests to board Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance each day.” Rise of the Resistance with Plexiglass Barrier We will most DEFINITELY be testing out this new system to see what it’s like and we will let you know what we find out! Check back with us for more updates. Click here to check out the new plexiglass dividers that have been added to the Rise of the Resistance vehicles!

Walt Disney World is changing the ways theme-park visitors can get onto the popular Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance ride at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The window will open earlier ... and from afar. View the full article

It’s clear the Force is strong with Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Since its debut last year, this spectacular experience inside Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge has proven to be one of the most popular attractions at Walt Disney World Resort. To better help guests visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios plan ahead for their day at the park, we’re piloting a new approach to the virtual queue system for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. Starting Nov. 3, 2020, here’s how it will work: Guests with a valid ticket or annual pass and a Disney Park Pass reservation for Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be able to access the virtual queue system and check for an available boarding group starting at 7 a.m. on the day of their park reservation. This can be done before you leave your Disney resort hotel, or wherever else nearby you might be at that time. Just as we do today, the virtual queue will reopen daily at 2 p.m. for anyone who wasn’t already able to join a boarding group earlier in the day. Note: Guests must be inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios to access this second virtual queue opportunity, and access to a boarding group is subject to availability and not guaranteed. We’re hoping this new approach will make a day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios more enjoyable and relaxing, as guests no longer need to be inside the park each morning to request a boarding group for the first virtual queue opportunity. As a reminder, you need to be inside the park to request the 2 p.m. boarding groups. To try to maximize the number of boarding groups we’re able to accommodate while adhering to current health and safety guidelines, we recently added a clear barrier between the two rows of seats on each First Order Fleet Transport vehicle inside the attraction. This enables us to invite more guests to board Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance each day. The attraction’s virtual queue is only accessible via the My Disney Experience mobile app. To maximize your opportunity to secure a boarding group, here are some tips we recommend you check off your list prior to your day at the park: Register an account in My Disney ExperienceDownload the My Disney Experience mobile app on your smart device or ensure you’re using the most updated version of the app before you arrive at the park. Have a valid Disney Park Pass reservation for Disney’s Hollywood Studios for the day you’re visitingLink all park tickets in your party to your My Disney Experience accountSelect one member of your party to access the virtual queue for everyone in your group; if multiple people in your party try to join the virtual queue simultaneously, that may complicate your ability to secure a boarding groupRemember, virtual queue boarding groups are limited and subject to availability This new pilot approach to the Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance virtual queue is designed to give guests the best possible experience during a day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. We look forward to seeing you on your next trip to a galaxy far, far away. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/sTf9zr5Ud3oView the full article

You know when you’re in EPCOT and it’s time to eat? And then you get SO overwhelmed because there are SO many good options? Yeah…been there! Regal Eagle Smokehouse Today, we’re stepping back inside EPCOT’s newest restaurant: Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Crafts, Drafts, and Barbecue in The American Adventure Pavilion. Will it be as good as the last time? Or perhaps even BETTER?! Let’s see how this BBQ joint is holding up a little over half a year after opening! Atmosphere Regal Eagle is heavily themed on old-fashioned Americana. The story is that you’ve just so happened to arrive on the day of Sam the Eagle’s (yep, THAT Sam the Eagle of The Muppet Show fame!) Centennial barbecue cook-off. Lucky you!! Regal Eagle Smokehouse We still chuckle at the “salute to ALL cook-offs, but mostly barbecue!” Fans of the now-retired “The Muppets Present…Great Moments in American History“ over in Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Square will get the nod to Sam the Eagle’s song during the show — “Great Moments in History (But Only the American Parts!).” The inside of the restaurant is pretty bland, theming-wise. A couple cast iron pots and copper pans decorate the walls along with some simple patriotic bunting. Regal Eagle Smokehouse This isn’t a spot you’d necessarily seem out for its stellar interior theming, but there is plenty of seating available both indoors and outdoors right now. Chairs have been removed from certain tables to discourage guests from sitting there to maintain social distancing. So, time to pick a table and get to chowing down. Regal Eagle Smokehouse The real draw for us is the copious outside patio area. Look at how nice this looks! Regal Eagle Smokehouse Outside Tables at Grand Opening There aren’t TOO many outdoor quick-service options in World Showcase, so Regal Eagle’s large open-air patio, complete with an on-site smoker, is surely a welcome sight for many weary travelers as they make their way around the World. After all, the CDC still does recommend outdoor dining, when possible. Regal Eagle offers that and more. Regal Eagle Smokehouse Speaking of that on-site smoker, some of the meat is smoked right outside near those outdoor tables! So you can find a spot to sit and enjoy the delightful aroma of smoked meats and fire if they happen to be cooking on the smoker on your visit. Regal Eagle Smokehouse Regal Eagle has a unique smoking process (with its own warning signs and everything!), so get ready for some tasty eats. Regal Eagle Smokehouse The outdoor area is also notable for their patio bar area. Here, you can order a variety of mixed drinks wine, beers, and ciders, and speciality non-alcoholic drinks, like the frozen Iced Tea Lemonade we recently tried. Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue Regal Eagle, like most quick-service restaurants in Disney World right now, is heavily encouraging the use of Mobile Order. Once you’ve selected your items and paid in the app, you enter on the side of the building where the (currently closed) bathrooms are. Mobile Order Line Then, you head up to your designated cashier to pick up your food once it’s ready! Regal Eagle Smokehouse The cashier space is much emptier without all of the people in line, but the theming is still quite patriotic. Make sure you say hey to Sam the Eagle (well, at least the spirit of him. Sam isn’t just hanging around watching you eat ribs!). Regal Eagle Smokehouse Due to safety measures put into place because of the pandemic, you can’t get your own drinks right now, but a Cast Member will get your beverage for you at the counter where you pick up your food. Beverage Station The same is true of the sauces. You can still take a gander at the gloriously large selection of sauces (you know we’re suckers for sauce options!), but you’ll need to ask for individual sauce cups at the counter. Sauce Station Unavailable The Cast Members will be happy to get you any flavors that you want! Sauce For the standard condiments though, they DO have individual packets available. So feel free to stock up on mustard, ketchup, and mayo. Individual Sauce Packets Enough about sauces, we’re here for the meat! Food While there’s been a couple of changes to the menu since the Regal Eagle first opened earlier this year, they’ve still got a pretty solid selection of items. Regal Eagle Menu Screenshot Regal Eagle Menu Screenshot One item we were looking forward to when Regal Eagle first announced their menu was their burgers made with garlic toast for buns! What a clever (and messy sounding!) idea that we were READY to try. We picked up the BBQ Burger! It’s a 1/3 lb Angus burger on garlic toast, topped with BBQ pork, garlic aïoli, and a fried onion ring. It comes with your choice of side, too (hellooo Mac and Cheese!). BBQ Burger Ok guys, this burger was good. C’mon, it’s a burger on garlic toast, which is basically a dream come true. What’s not to like about that? Our sandwich had a super juicy patty — no overly well done hockey pucks here like we sometimes find on standard Disney burgers! We only had a small amount of pork on our sandwich but what was there was full of flavor and was cooked perfectly. It was super tender and very smoky! We also loved the crunch from the massive onion ring! BBQ Burger If you’re wondering, yes, your fingers will get a little greasy handing the garlic toast. There are somethings in this life worth getting your hands dirty for though. You can get this yummy burger with a side for $13.49. BBQ Burger Of course, we opted for the Mac and Cheese as our side. Pro tip: you can also snag it on it’s own for $4.99! Mac and Cheese This was MUCH better than the first time we had it when Regal Eagle first opened. The first time we tried it, it was surprisingly bland and under-seasoned, so we were super impressed (and pleasantly surprised) with the flavor this time around. We were very pleased to see their mac game has gotten stronger as time has passed! Mac and Cheese And finally, we wrapped up our meal with the Banana Pudding for $4.99. This wasn’t too much of a surprise, but this remains an A+ dish. While it’s simple, it’s a perfect dessert, and it definitely holds up to our first review! We still love it! Banana Pudding It’s simple but it works. If you’re a fan of old fashioned ‘nana pudding, this hits the spot nicely. It’s sweet but not too sweet and a great way to wrap up a heavier meal. Can’t get enough of the Regal Eagle Smokehouse? Check out this new merch from one of our favorite BBQ joints! Nosh or Not You SHOULD grab a meal at Regal Eagle Smokehouse if… You LOVE BBQ, or meat, in general. They’ve got you covered. You’ve got picky eaters in your party but still want to eat in World Showcase. You want a large outdoor patio for dining or taking a break as you make your way around World Showcase You should NOT grab a meal at Regal Eagle Smokehouse if… You’re looking for the absolute best BBQ in Disney World (while Regal Eagle is a close second, we suggest The Polite Pig in Disney Springs!). You’ve got vegetarians or vegans in your party. The plant-based options here are very limited. You’re looking for a new and exciting meal while you’re in World Showcase. Overall Overall, while we liked the burger, we’re not too sure we’d order the it again just because it IS a barbecue restaurant and there are a number of other great options. That said, there’s not a lot of options in EPCOT for folks looking for a familiar burger and fries. So if you’re a real burger fiend, go crazy, but we likely would opt for something that has a little more of that specialty pork or their other smoked meats in the future, like the Sliced Texas Beef Brisket Sandwich! That said, our meal was awesome. The BBQ Burger was an excellent burger, and easily stands out in a sea of often overcooked burgers in Dinsey World. Add in the tasty Mac and Cheese and the Banana Pudding and you’ve got a pretty delightful lunch. So far, we’ve loved Regal Eagle since it opened. It’s a winner in our books! The only downside is that EPCOT has a LOT of winners, so it really just makes our lunch or dinner decision that much harder. BBQ connoisseurs or guests turned off by the idea of more unique cuisines that can be found elsewhere in World Showcase will likely enjoy this spot. Plus, it’s a great location to stop for a break and a beverage or two on the patio. As always, we’ll be bringing you all the Disney food reviews YOU need to know, so stay tuned to DFB!

Is there anything more calming than snacking on popcorn as you stroll through Disneyland? Probs not. Disneyland Popcorn We might not be able to get our munch on in Main Street, U.S.A. right now, but we can at least do some shopping in Downtown Disney (and Disney California Adventure soon!). If you’re missing Disneyland popcorn, you’re gonna want to see this souvenir find! Our reader over at @gentlemansdisney on Instagram sent us this EXCITING pic of the new 65th Anniversary Disneyland Popcorn Bucket (Aah! Thanks Miguel!). © @gentlemansdisney | DisneyFoodBlog If you think that design looks familiar, you might be remembering the ORIGINAL popcorn boxes from the opening of Disneyland. We freaked when Disneyland started selling popcorn in these retro boxes again earlier this year so it’s pretty great there’s another new version. Disneyland Popcorn Bucket Check out this picture of Walt Disney snacking out of a similar container! ©Disney Our reader found this bucket at a merchandise shopping event in Downtown Disney for $16.99.

With Halloween just a few days away, it’s a frightfully fitting opportunity to unearth some Haunted Mansion magic from a time before the foreboding estate in Disneyland park was inhabited by a lively collection of 999 happy haunts! For our first-ever Haunted Mansion-themed #ThrowbackThursday, we’ve partnered with the Walt Disney Archives and Walt Disney Imagineering Art Collection to dig up some early imagery and artwork that is sure to make you shriek with delight. Our “grave” journey into the past begins with a look at the hauntingly beautiful mansion itself… The idea for a haunted house experience, which later evolved into the Haunted Mansion we know today, was included in a concept design sketch by Imagineer and Disney Legend Harper Goff all the way back in 1952, when Disneyland was still being conceptualized. Harper’s artwork originally placed the attraction adjacent to Main Street, U.S.A. Designers originally wanted to make the outside of the mansion look rundown and abandoned. Walt Disney, however, wanted to keep the outside looking like a stately mansion, letting ghosts take care of the inside. Inside the Mansion, there’s a labyrinth of spooky surprises! The Walt Disney Archives shared an early image of Imagineer and Disney Legend Blaine Gibson sculpting a “pop-up” ghost in 1968… with a confused frog looking on, too! Illusions and special effects are part of what make the Haunted Mansion a beloved attraction. Imagineer and Disney Legend Yale Gracey was captured with the infamous Hatbox Ghost in this early photo. You may know that the Hatbox Ghost appeared in the Haunted Mansion for a short time around the opening of this attraction in 1969. However, he materialized to much fanfare once again in 2015. These last three vibrant illustrations were created by Disney Legend Colin Campbell for the 1969 album “The Story and Song From The Haunted Mansion.” Colin’s original illustrations for the album reside in the Walt Disney Archives collection. The spooky specter materializing inside the Haunted Mansion, Hatbox Ghost, was also featured on the record album artwork. This last illustration from “The Story and Song From The Haunted Mansion” showcases the famous ballroom scene featuring some of the mansion’s residents. Keep checking the Disney Parks Blog for more #ThrowbackThursday stories in the future. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/DxVbhJk-atsView the full article

We’ve had a lot of great treats to celebrate Halloween in Disney World, but what if you can’t make it to the parks?

Mickey pumpkin! ©Disney For this recipe, you’ll need: 36 chocolate sandwich cookies 8 oz cream cheese, softened 1 package orange candy melts Yellow, orange, and green fondant ©Disney Weirdly enough, these little treats don’t even have any pumpkin flavor to them! ©Disney We know, we know, a fall treat without pumpkin?! Well, these truffles still look as sweet as can be! 3. The Evil Queen’s Mini Poison Apple Pies This next one might be the most villainous of all the treats on this list!

Oh, yeah, they’re actually cake pops. ©Disney For this recipe, you’ll need: Cake pop kit Red candy melts White candy melts Piping bag ©Disney This one might be one of the simplest recipes but it will require some truly villainous craftsmanship to get that drip just right! 6. Oogie Boogie Trifle We’ve got another one for you The Nightmare Before Christmas lovers! Check out this Oogie Boogie Trifle.

Pumpkin Soup For those who are savory fans, a Pumpkin Soup might be a great go-to. ©Disney For this recipe, you’ll need: 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 small white onion, diced 1 cup diced butternut squash (skin and seeds removed) 3 cups canned pumpkin (approximately 1 ½ 15-ounce cans) 1 tablespoon honey or light agave syrup 2 cups of water ¼ cup apple juice concentrate 2 teaspoons vegetable bouillon ½ teaspoon curry powder 1 teaspoon coarse salt ½ teaspoon white pepper ½ teaspoon cinnamon 1 cup coconut milk 6 tablespoons pepitas (pumpkin seeds), roasted and salted (for garnish) ©Disney Heads up!

Give it another try! 11. Pumpkin Bars Look, treats in bar-form are just extra special. Lemon bars? Turtle bars? We’ll take them all. So, it’s pretty exciting when we find a tasty PUMPKIN Bar recipe. ©Disney For this recipe, you’ll need: 1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 1/2 of a 14-ounce box) 6 tablespoons butter, melted 1/4 cup brown sugar 2 large eggs 1 15-ounce can pumpkin purée 1 12-ounce can evaporated milk 3/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon ground clove 1/4 teaspoon salt ©Disney These can be pretty to share with lots of people or a GREAT multi-day (or one-sitting, we don’t judge) snack for YOU! 12.

Several construction and refurbishment projects are going on right now around Disney World. Magic Kingdom We’ve been keeping an eye on the refurbishment work going on at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, the TRON coaster construction, the refurbishment of the Magic Kingdom entrance sign, and more. About a month ago, we shared that Liberty Square Riverboat and Tom Sawyer Island in Magic Kingdom would be closed for a lengthy refurbishment, and now that refurbishment period has been extended. Just over a month ago, the Disney refurbishment calendar listed the refurbishment for both Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Square Riverboat through January 2nd. Both attractions also appeared to have “No Times Available” every day from October 5th through the end of the calendar, which was then April 2nd. Tom Sawyer Island Today, however, when we check the Disney refurbishment calendar, the refurbishment for both attractions is now listed through Sunday, February 28th. Tom Sawyer Island Construction It appears, however, that both attractions are still showing “No times available” through May 3rd, 2021 on their individual pages on the Disney World website. We recently saw the refurbishment for the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover in Magic Kingdom extended as well. We’ll keep an eye out for more updates on all of the construction going on around Disney World and let you know what we find.

Disney World is a wonderful place to find tributes to the US Military. Cinderella Castle Whether it’s through military promotional tickets or the flag ceremonies, there are several ways that Disney shows their appreciation to veterans and those still fighting for our country. Today, there was a BIG event to honor fallen heroes. According to WFTV, the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds flew in formation over Walt Disney World this morning as part of a tribute video for fallen military heroes. Epcot World Showcase The flight demonstration squadron’s flyover marks the coming arrival of National Veterans and Military Families Month in November. The video will be included in the Sinise Foundation’s virtual Snowball Express conference. Disney salutes the military! We love that Disney is a part of honoring fallen heroes.

There’s ALWAYS that one person in our group who tries something gross and then makes all of their companions try it! We all know that person: they take a bite or a sip, their face cringes, and then they pass it around to everyone in their group so THEY can suffer, too. Delicious…or Gross? Let’s look back on a few snacks in Disney World that could totally gross people out (and some that have DEFINITELY grossed US out in the past), but also inspire them to take another bite or sip. Blue and Green Milk Blue and Green Milk in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge are two of the most polarizing new snacks we’ve tried in a LONG time. These are frozen beverages served at The Milk Stand, and are made with a soft-frozen blend of rice and coconut milks. Non-Alcoholic Green and Blue Milk Some folks are weirded out by the rice and coconut milks (which makes them fully non-dairy!), especially since they’re mixed with fruit flavors. Blue Milk is a mixture of dragon fruit, pineapple, lime, and watermelon. Green Milk is made with mandarin orange, passion fruit, grapefruit, and orange blossom. If you’re not a fan of milk alternatives and the more watery flavor they tend to have compared to real dairy, you might have to brace yourself before taking a sip. The Milk Stand in Disney World Ok, so cards on the table — they LOOK awesome. If you’ve never tried it, it’s honestly worth it to get them just for a fun photoshoot! The colors are dead on to the films and we were giddy when we first spotted them. Then we tasted them. It’s not that they taste BAD, they just taste UNIQUE. The flavors aren’t actually very strong and it’s not very sweet (compared to most frozen Disney drinks!). To most of us they just kind of tasted…flat. The lack of creamy mouthfeel your brain expects when seeing them combined with the MANY flavors in each result in both too much and too little happening at the same time. Blue Milk The menu at The Milk Stand in Disney World has grown in the months since it opened, including adding breakfast food items before the closures, but the Blue and Green Milk remain! You can also get them spiked! The alcohol typically cuts out some of the sweetness, so if you’re concerned about the drinks tasting too sweet, consider trying the adult version. Alcoholic Blue and Green Milk – served in square cups to differentiate! You can also layer the two flavors to create your very own Blue and Green Milk “parfait.“ Milk Hack! Blue and Green Milk “Parfait” This is a hack, meaning you’ll need to order one of each, and then ask for an extra cup to mix the flavors in (sorry, they won’t mix them for you!). Milk Hack! What we’ve seen since Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened in 2019, is that folks either love Blue and Green Milk, or they despise them! We have yet to meet someone who is a ride-or-die Star Wars milk fan, but we’re sure you guys are out there! We totally get it — the concept of knocking back the same milks as awesome Luke Skywalker is just so fascinating, people seem compelled to try it at least once! Give it a go and see what you think! Read our first review of The Milk Stand here! Beverly Remember Club Cool in Epcot? It wasn’t all that long ago that we were ducking out of the intense Florida heat for a quick ten-minute break in the air conditioning, while sampling free sodas from around the world! While most were sweet and fruity, one drink grew to be a well-known practical joke for unknowing friends and family. Club Cool in Disney’s Epcot Of course, we’re talking about Beverly. This extremely bitter beverage comes from Italy, and was intended to be consumed as an apéritif, which is a fancy word for a drink that is intended to be consumed before eating a meal to “stimulate the appetite.” Traditionally, apéritifs were made with alcohol to help them go down easier due to their strong bitter taste. You might be more familiar with other bitters like Campari or Aperol. These have very much the same flavor profile but are made with alcohol and sipped before a meal in some cultures. Beverly! Coke tried to mass-produce a non-alcoholic version, called Beverly, on the Italian market. Spoiler alert — it wasn’t a hit. Consumers were perfectly happy with the alcoholic versions they already had! Essentially, it’s not SUPPOSED to be consumed as any old drink when you’re thirsty or craving soda. That sure didn’t stop us from knocking back more than a few in EPCOT for a good laugh! In fact, Club Cool was one of the few places you could actually still GET Beverly. You won’t find it in your grocery store or Amazon. It’s available to sample in VERY few locations around the country and the most well-known was Disney World! Beverly! Club Cool sadly closed their doors in 2019, but you can still find Beverly in Disney World! Head over to Disney Springs and into the Coca-Cola Store. Coco-Cola Store The building is largely a store selling various Coca-Cola merchandise, but if you head up to the roof, there’s a fun bar where you can order a variety of Coca-Cola based beverages. Coca-Cola Rooftop Bar Next time you’re at the Coca-Cola Store Rooftop Beverage Bar, order “Beverly’s Revenge,” which mixes Beverly with Hendrick’s Gin, blackberry liqueur, cherry syrup, a mint sprig, and orange slices!! Beverly’s Revenge So, it’s not straight Beverly, and depending on your taste buds, you may not find this drink AS offensive as the bitter soda by itself! Beverly’s Revenge If you miss cringing from the taste of Beverly — or you miss watching your friends cringe — you can still get a “taste” of it at Disney Springs! Read our full review of the rooftop bar at the Coca-Cola store here! Seasonal Items Throughout the year, Disney releases a number of seasonal snacks and menu items, typically around festivals, Halloween, or the holiday season. Overall, they’re hit or miss, and we never know what we’re in for until we try the treats for ourselves! Let’s look back at some of the items that were NOT hits. Poor Unfortunate Souls (Part 1 AND 2!) Earlier this year, we checked out the Disney Villains After Hours event at Magic Kingdom, which is known for serving some spectacularly spooky specialty snacks! Disney Villains After Hours This year, we were excited to try the “Poor Unfortunate Soul” at Storybook Treats. Storybook Treats Specialty Menu It looked FASCINATING, and it was one of the items we were actually really looking forward to trying. Bring PURPLE soft serve? We’re there. Unfortunately, it landed pretty FAR off the mark. The combination of black raspberry soft-serve and Cherry Coke tasted way more like medicine than any sort of sweet treat. Trust us guys, we WANTED to love this one!! Poor Unfortunate Soul BUT THEN. Time passed. Halloween rolled around and we got Poor Unfortunate Souls REDUX! This year’s Halloween treats featured a similar but different version of the snack at Storybook Treats. THIS TIME, it was made with Cream Cheese Soft Serve, Coke, and Black Raspberry Syrup. The very UNnatural color is definitely fun to look at: Poor Unfortunate Souls Came BACK The medicinal taste is gone but it’s replaced with the VERY polarizing cream cheese flavored ice cream. Some of our team absolutely loved it and some…not so much. The sharp taste of cream cheese in ice cream form is definitely a “love it or leave it” situation for most folks. This is one worth trying to see what side you land on. Learn more about the Villains After Hours event here! Ursula Cupcake Poor Ursula. The girl can’t catch a break! The trend continues with another disappointing Ursula-themed treat! Back in 2017 we braved the Ursula Cupcake at Sunshine Seasons, which appeared briefly during the Halloween season. We’ll give it this — it was something to look at (we can’t imagine the Cast Members scrawling text on endless fondant scrolls in a kitchen somewhere!!). Ursula Cupcake We count our blessings that this was a temporary menu item, because…you guys…it was NOT good. While it looked appealing and the attention to detail on the cupcake WAS impressive, what matters is how it tastes. The inside, like the outside, LOOKED cool and spooky. BUT…the mousse on the inside of this cupcake was artificial bubble gum flavored (yeah, probably not our first pick either!). And not in the (cute and pink) candy flavor kind of way. Like, it was in the one-week-old, spit out and stuck under the desk at school kind of way. Ursula Cupcake Interior From the look of it, you’d likely think this was delightful cookies and cream mousse or some other yummy flavor. But alas, no. It was pretty hard to get down. Such a shame too because it DID look cool! Fortunately, this cupcake has NOT returned since that fateful Halloween season, but its flavor will be seared into our memories for the rest of eternity. Check out all the FOOD from last year’s Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party here! Disney tries its best to deliver top-notch snacks that are unique and memorable. Buuuut, sometimes they turn out unique and memorable for all of the WRONG reasons. When that happens, we’re tempted to make sure EVERYONE around us gives those snacks a try. Whether it’s a hit or a total miss, Disney World dining can create some truly special memories that will last a lifetime!

The global health crisis has rocked the world for almost the entirety of 2020 so far. This year, every single Disney theme park around the world has had to close, and it’s been a slow road to reopen them. ©Disney Already, we’ve seen Hong Kong Disneyland close for a second time and reopen again and now Disneyland Paris has announced its second closure due to the global health crisis. President Emmanuel Macron has imposed a nationwide lockdown in France to combat the rapid spread of COVID-19 in the country. The stay-at-home order begins this Friday, October 30th. Of course, this lockdown severely inhibits Disneyland Paris’s ability to remain open. Disneyland Paris After President Macron made the announcement, Disneyland Paris issued a statement noting that the resort will be closing end of day on October 29. In anticipation of the holiday season, they will be taking reservations from December 19 – January 3. This does not guarantee that they will be able to reopen for those dates. But if they are able to, they will be closed again from January 4 – February 12. ©Disney Stay tuned to DFB for more updates as we learn more about the situation at Disneyland Paris.
