Today, we’re taking a peek around Disney World’s flagship park (oh, hey Magic Kingdom!) to see what’s new in food, construction, and merchandise! Magic Kingdom Food Updates Main Street Bakery Our first food update comes from Main Street Bakery where we got to try out a SECRET MENU Starbucks drink — the Candy Corn Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew!

Oh, Starbucks. Between you and Joffrey’s we can be sure we’ll get our caffeine fix when we’re in the Disney World parks. Candy Corn Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew We swung by Magic Kingdom yesterday to try out a secret menu drink with some SERIOUSLY fall flavors. You’ve heard of the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, but have you heard of the Candy Corn Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew!? We stopped by Main Street Bakery, the Starbucks location in Magic Kingdom, to try out this snazzy fall concoction. The Candy Corn Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew is made like a classic Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, but without the Vanilla syrup and WITH White Mocha and Pumpkin Spice. Candy Corn Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew We thought the flavors in this drink were super yummy. It’s definitely sweet, so if you’re a fan of black coffee, this one might not be for you. But, if you’re looking for a sugary pick-me-up, give it a try. Plus, we didn’t think that anything could have more fall vibes than a classic Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew and this drink proves us wrong! Candy Corn Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew You can snag the Candy Corn Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew at ANY Starbucks location, just have them swap out the Vanilla syrup for White Mocha and Pumpkin Spice! At Main Street Bakery, it ran us $5.84 ($5.25 for the drink and $0.59 for the added syrup). If ya try it, tell us what you think! Click here to see how we feel about the OG Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew!

We’re always on the lookout for new beverages at Disney World, and it’s our duty to try them all out! Eats at the Epcot Experience Most recently, we’ve tried out several new beers at Disney World, including the Tsingtao Lager at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival’s China Booth, as well as several beers from the Festival’s Germany Booth. So when we spotted some new seasonal beers at the Eats at the EPCOT Experience, we knew we had to try one out. Eats at the Epcot Experience Menu Our choices were the Wild Heaven Session Citrus Lager, the Golden Road Mango Wheat Ale, and the Collective Arts Brewing Pina Colada Sour. Taps at the EPCOT Experience We chose the Pina Colada Sour Beer, because we love a good sour beer! We’re also big fans of Collective Arts, and we’re happy to report that this beer DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Pina Colada Sour Beer This was SUCH a good tropical-flavored beer. We could taste a lot of coconut and vanilla with each sip, which made it super refreshing but also unique. A glass goes for $9.75. Pina Colada Sour Beer We will definitely get this one again! It’s perfect for those who like pina coladas (and getting caught in the rain — which is so VERY Florida). We’re also always happy to see more variety in the beers at EPCOT! And as always, we’ll keep an eye out for other new beers, too!

Whether your own kids or the kids in your area are still completing school from home, are going in person, or are doing a hybrid approach, school this year is certainly different due to the pandemic. Toy Story Kit Disney, through its partnership with A Gift For Teaching, recently helped local teachers in Florida with the supplies they’ll need to welcome students back into their classrooms. According to a press release shared by Disney, nearly 16,000 students will be returning to classrooms in Orange County, Florida this week. To help teachers prepare for this new wave of students and ensure that they have the supplies needed to promote health and safety in their classrooms, Walt Disney World teamed up with A Gift For Teaching to donate much needed supplies. ©Disney Disney recently donated nearly 5,000 reusable bags, nearly 8,000 lanyards for students to hold their masks, and 43 pallets of various merchandise items to be used as classroom incentives and prizes. All of these items help A Gift for Teaching’s curbside supply pickup. ©Disney Tatiana Ancora-Brown, Director of External Affairs for Walt Disney World Resort said “This school year looks nothing like we could have ever expected with new school supply requirements for teachers and students.” Ancora-Brown noted that “Students now need lanyards to hold their masks, and water bottles when they can’t use the water fountains.” ©Disney A Gift For Teaching was also in need of reusable bags for their curbside school supply pick-up for teachers. So, to meet all of the unique supply needs for this school year, Walt Disney World Resort also “donated more than 100,000 reusable bags, as well as other essential school supplies such as backpacks, water bottles, and backpacks to organizations across Orange, Osceola, Seminole, and Lake Counties.” ©Disney A Gift For Teaching traditionally operates a free store where eligible teachers can come and shop for the supplies to be given to kids in need in their classrooms. ©Disney This year, however, Jane Thompson, President of A Gift For Teaching said they modified their setup so they could have a curbside model in order to “reach the most teachers possible because if [they] had kept the store open, [they] would have to limit the number of teachers who could visit at any one time.” Teachers can now place their supply order online and have a contactless pickup experience. ©Disney Thompson said the teachers have been so thankful that A Gift For Teaching has recognized the need for supplies and helped fill that. ©Disney Thompson also noted that one of the things the organization is so grateful for is partnerships like the one they “have with Disney that have existed for two decades, where Disney as a partner has been there to just serve and deliver and support [the] organization and [their] mission of ensuring that every student has every supply that they need.” ©Disney We’re on the lookout for all the latest Disney news, so be sure to come back for more updates.

WandaVision is a new series based in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that will stream exclusively on Disney+. ©Funko The new series features Vision and Wanda living out their married suburban life post-Avengers: Endgame. The trailer shows the couple living through various eras, beginning with the 50s and sequences from the 70s, 80s, and present. This bizarre yet fascinating setting allows the series to get super creative with the imagery, cinematography, and costumes. Funko Pop! has taken a few of the iconic scenes and costumes from the series and created some truly unique figurines! The first two Funkos are based on Wanda and Vision dressed in their 50s garb. Designed in black and white, they resemble a superhero version of June and Ward Cleaver. The Vision Funko, however, is totally intriguing and mysterious. The merch photo shows a picture of Vision in his human look and in his hero look. The description says, “by chance, you may get the rare Chase variant.” So, we suppose this Funko may be a bit of a mystery bag! ©Funko All the WandaVision Funko figurines are on pre-order for $10.99 each. Get the Vision FunkoPop! right here! Of course, you’ll need Wanda to complete the duo!

If you’re searching for your daily dose of Pumpkin Spice Latte, there are several Starbucks locations at Disney World to get your fix! One of our favorite locations, however, is the Starbucks West Side Cafe in Disney Springs! Starbucks Coffee!! That’s because this location is constantly outdoing themselves with fun seasonal drinks. We previously shared their fall specialty drinks, as well as other clever creations like the Robert Brownie Jr. Frappuccino. They’ve blown us away AGAIN with four new “Spooky Specials!” Each of these items are frighteningly perfect for Halloween, with fun colors, flavors, and toppings that make the drinks look like they were created by a mad scientist instead of your favorite barista! Source: @starbuckswestsidecafe You can order the Scary Berry, which is a “ghostly green” starfruit lemonade with fresh “oogly” boo-berry eyeballs, or try the Witches Brew, a nitro cold brew with a “potion” of matcha vanilla sweet cream cold foam. Starbucks in Disney Springs There’s also a pair of spooky Frappuccinos! First is the Freaky Frappuccino, a double chocolaty chip Frappuccino with white mocha, dripping with a strawberry “blood” puree and matcha “brains” whipped cream. Then there’s the Siren Sistas Frappuccino, which is an “unhealthy” green tea Frappuccino with “spellbinding” peppermint, white mocha, and java chips, and is spun with mocha “webbing.” Starbucks in Disney Springs We think we’ll have one of each, please! With just a couple weeks left until Halloween, you’ll want to hurry on over to the Starbucks West Side Cafe in Disney Springs before these specialty drinks vanish into thin air!

Well, it’s official. The NBA Bubble is no more in Disney World. Coronado Springs Last week, the final game of the NBA Finals finished with an exciting win for the Los Angeles Lakers over the Miami Heat. To celebrate, Disney lit up Cinderella Castle in the victorious team’s colors! Now, with the NBA gone, fencing around Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort is starting to come down. As you might remember, the NBA was initially split up around Gran Destino Tower at Coronado Springs, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, and Disney’s Yacht Club. As the playoffs went on and the number of teams in Disney World dwindled, the accommodations were reduced more and more until Gran Destino Tower was the only location housing players. Coronado Springs Now, with the NBA gone, we’re swinging by Coronado Springs to see if there are any changes! Coronado Springs While the teams were here, a number of privacy-screened chain link fences were installed. Though some of them remain, we spotted workers at the resort taking down the fencing. Coronado Springs As we drove up, we noticed that a lot of the green privacy screens had been taken down on the way up to the building. Coronado Springs See! There are all those screens rolled up on the side of the roadway. Coronado Springs Though the chain-link remains up in many places, it has started to come down as well. We noticed a truck with rolls of the fencing loaded into the back. Coronado Springs As a reminder, Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort is set to reopen to guests on October 16th; that’s in just two days! We’ll be stopping in to report on the way things look in the reopened hotel so stay tuned. Coronado Springs Coronado Springs is the latest in resort hotels to prepare for reopening and Disney’s Art of Animation Resort will follow soon after.

We’ve seen various updates regarding Disneyland Resort recently, but no official release of theme park reopening guidelines from California. Disney California Adventure Park Despite the lack of formal guidance from the state, Disney appears to be preparing for an eventual reopening with the installation of more health and safety signs, and, now, agreements with certain unions. According to The Orange County Register, Disneyland has reached “return to work agreements” with 11 unions representing employees at the resort. Disney officials have said that these agreements will allow the Disneyland Resort theme parks to “responsibly bring back staff” with a variety of health and safety measures in place “as soon as possible.” Disneyland Social Distancing Signs According to Disney officials, an agreement has been reached with Workers United Local 50, the second largest union representing employees at Disneyland. This agreement will allow for the return of many food and beverage Cast Members. Agreements have also been reached with 10 other unions, including “Master Services Council, Independent Employee Services Association, Craft Maintenance Council, and International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees.” Disneyland Park Social Distancing Markers Currently, Disneyland has been canceling hotel reservations through October 24th and an official reopening date is not yet known. Governor Newsom recently sent a team to Disney World to review the safety measures there, and at other parks in Florida, to help inform the California theme park reopening guidelines. Newsom has said his team will also be visiting “larger theme parks” this week. Disney California Adventure Park We’re on the lookout for more information regarding Disneyland, theme park reopening guidelines in California, and a future reopening date for the Disneyland Resort theme parks, so we will keep you updated as we find out more.

Although crowds might be growing in Disney World, we’ve seen some wildly different wait times all around the theme parks! Cinderella Castle There’s no FastPass or single rider during this time, and various ride queues have seen changes with distancing efforts, new sanitation measures, and more as guests return back to attractions. With such unprecedented efforts, the wait times have been fluctuating with variations between the posted wait time and how long riders have actually had to wait before boarding! We’ve ridden some of Disney World’s most popular attractions to try to get an idea of just how accurate the posted wait times are right now. Plus, we reached out to our readers on Instagram to take a look at the posted versus real wait times during THEIR Disney days. Here’s what we learned! Magic Kingdom Let’s start off with what we and our readers learned in Magic Kingdom! “it’s a small world” A reader who rode “it’s a small world” got in line at a posted wait of 35 minutes and was in a boat in 15 minutes (-20 minutes). On the other hand, a different reader saw a posted wait of 30 minutes and waited 57 minutes (+27 minutes). “it’s a small world” Big Thunder Mountain Railroad We had three readers submit their experiences with Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. One saw posted 45 minutes and waited 20 minutes (-25 minutes). Another reader saw a wait of 60 minutes and waited just 15 minutes (-45 minutes)! Finally, one noted that the posted wait was 50 minutes and they road in about 30 minutes (-20 minutes).

Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin Line Jungle Cruise At Jungle Cruise, a reader saw a 75-minute wait listed and rode in just 23 minutes (-52 minutes)!

Magic Kingdom Tomorrowland Speedway A reader waited a whole 4 minutes with a posted wait of 25 minutes at Tomorrowland Speedway (-21 minutes). Tomorrowland Speedway Under the Sea — Journey of the Little Mermaid And for our final Magic Kingdom observation came from a reader on Under the Sea — Journey of the Little Mermaid. They waited 20 minutes with a listed wait of 40 minutes. (-20 minutes). Under the Sea — Journey of the Little Mermaid Disney’s Hollywood Studios Next up, let’s check in on the way waits are looking in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Alien Swirling Saucers One reader reported a wait of 20 minutes as opposed to the posted 45 minutes at Alien Swirling Saucers (-25 minutes). Alien Swirling Saucers Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway We took a spin on Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway with a posted wait of 105 minutes. We were stopped for a little with some cleanings and mid-way through the queue we noticed the wait dropped to 90 minutes. Altogether, we waited for 81 minutes (-24 minutes). Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Several readers weighed in as well. One saw a posted wait of 120 minutes and waited 65 minutes (-55 minutes), another saw a posted wait of 90 minutes and waited 40 minutes (-50 minutes), and a third saw a posted wait of 110 minutes and waited 40 minutes (-70 minutes).

The wait was listed at 80 minutes when we got in line and we waited 73 minutes (-7 minutes). Pretty close! A reader waited 70 minutes with a 90 minute posted wait (-20 minutes).

One waited 12 minutes with a 40 minute posted wait (-28 minutes), the other waited 20 minutes with a 60 minute posted wait (-40 minutes). Toy Story Mania EPCOT EPCOT has fewer big-ticket rides than Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, so we were interested to see the results. Frozen Ever After We got in line with a 65 minute wait listed at Frozen Ever After and boarded a boat after 52 minutes (-13 minutes). One reader saw a posted wait of 90 minutes and waited 35 minutes (-55 minutes), and another saw a posted wait of 100 minutes and waited 40 minutes (-60 minutes). Frozen Ever After Mission: SPACE At Mission: SPACE, a reader waited 10 minutes with a posted wait of 30 minutes (-20 minutes).

Cleaning Cycle Na’vi River Journey And finally, a reader waited 25 minutes at Na’vi River Journey with a posted 50 minutes (-25 minutes). Na’vi River Journey What did we find? Overall, we found that wait times tend to be about 20 minutes off one way or the other. Although, it is a lot more common for them to be SHORTER than the posted times! What really surprised us were the fluctuations of an hour or more with rides like Test Track. Crazy! As a note, one reader on a VIP Tour mentioned that a Cast Member told them that there is a 20-minute buffer when it comes to the listed wait times. We’re not sure if this is true, but many of these rides did come in with an actual wait of around 20 minutes less than the posted wait, so it’s possible. Stay tuned throughout the week as we continue to update this post and make observations! Click here to learn more about the suspension of Fastpass+!

Over the past few weeks, Disney World has introduced Mobile Order To Go, a new way to enjoy some of your favorite table service restaurants! That’s right, you can now order table service food TO GO! Bread Service to go! This service, accessible on My Disney Experience, is still in its initial roll out phase, and at first it was only available at Sanaa at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. But recently we’ve seen few more restaurants be added, like Kona Cafe at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, as well as The Wave…of American Flavors at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Now, guests staying at Disney’s Old Key West Resort can take advantage of Mobile Order To Go at Olivia’s Cafe! Olivia’s Cafe We noticed that this restaurant was slated to join the Mobile Order To Go lineup, and as of today, the service is live! Olivia’s Cafe on Mobile Order To Go You’ll be able to order Breakfast from 7:30AM to 10:30AM, Lunch from 11:30AM to 2:00PM, and Dinner from 5:00PM to 9:00PM. If you have a day off from the parks or you’re staying at Old Key West, it’s totally worth checking out and dining on some Floridian-style comfort food! Olivia’s Cafe on Mobile Order To Go Even if you’re not staying at Old Key West, you can still visit the resort by placing an order to go at Olivia’s Cafe! Simply order your food ahead of time, arrive when its ready, and enjoy your meal wherever your heart desires! Click here to see what our experience with Mobile Order To Go was like at Sanaa!

Hello and welcome back to Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Hollywood Studios in October Last time we visited the park we saw new characters, some pretty keychains, and a fun Star Wars tee! Let’s see what is going on today! Here is the latest in Hollywood Studios food and merchandise! Hollywood Studios Food Updates Backlot Express We started off our day checking out the menus at each restaurant. We noticed something different but familiar about a salad at Backlot Express…grilled chicken! Backlot Express Before the park closures, the restaurant’s Southwest Salad contained grilled chicken. When Backlot Express reopened, we noticed the chicken had gone missing. Southwest Salad We are so glad to have this addition back on our Southwest Salads! Check out this Halloween treat we found at Backlot Express! Ronto Roasters/Docking Bay 7 While checking up on all of the restaurants, we noticed some hour changes as well. Ronto Roasters was said to close at 3PM. We were sad at the thought of only having a limited time to enjoy those Ronto Wraps, BUT we discovered this item at a new place. Ronto Roasters in Disney World After 3PM, when Ronto Roasters closes, you can grab the Ronto Wrap at Docking Bay 7! Ronto Wrap We were so glad that we still had the option to eat Ronto Wraps for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Check out Galaxy’s Edge merchandise online! Hollywood Studios Merchandise Updates Tatooine Traders While strolling the streets of Tatooine, we found some new Mandalorian Funko POPS! The first one features The Mandalorian side-by-side with Baby Yoda of course! Mandalorian Funko POP! That specific Mandalorian figurine is a bobble-head! We just can’t get over how cute Baby Yoda is. Mandalorian Funko POP! The second Funko POP! also features your two favorite Mandalorian characters. This time, The Mandalorian is holding The Child! Too adorbs! Mandalorian Funko POP! These Funko POPs were found in Tatooine Traders for $29.99 each. Mandalorian Funko POP! We don’t think we’ll ever stop obsessing over new Baby Yoda merch. Check out some more Mandalorian merchandise! Toy Story Mania Gift Shop When you’re in Hollywood Studios, its a requirement to ride Toy Story Mania, right? After shooting some targets, we found some fun new Toy Story character pens in the gift shop. Empty Toy Story Mania Queue First up, we found the Jessie pen! Jessie Pen We also found this Forky pen! Doesn’t he just look so happy to be a pen?! Forky Pen You can grab both of these pens at the Toy Story Mania Gift Shop for $12.99. Forky and Jessie Pen We think these cuties are a great way to celebrate Toy Story’s 20th anniversary. We’ve got more Toy Story merchandise here! Droid Depot Have you ever wanted to give your Galaxy’s Edge droid a makeover? Now you can! We found droid pieces for sale at the Droid Depot! Droid Depot We found a bunch of different colored heads and bodies you can purchase separately for your droid. These pieces will only fit the custom droids from Galaxy’s Edge, but how fun that they can get a brand new look! Droid Heads and Bodies These pieces were $15 each! Check out the Galaxy’s Edge merchandise in Disney Springs Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities As we explored Galaxy’s Edge, we also spotted Ahsoka Tano’s lightsaber hilts. We hadn’t seen these in the parks for a while, but now they have returned to Dok-Ondar’s! Ahsoka Tano’s Lightsaber This lightsaber is the only legacy lightsaber to have a white crystal. Both hilts come together for a total of $200. Ahsoka Tano’s Lightsaber The blade does not come with the hilts and is instead an additional cost. We were thrilled to see this rare lightsaber back in the parks! Here’s where you can purchase legacy lightsabers online That’s a wrap on our super fun day in Hollywood Studios! We had a blast!

One of the BEST parts of going to EPCOT is eating and drinking your way around the world! China Pavilion And we’re not just talking about snacking at the Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival or even eating at the restaurants at World Showcase, sometimes you find supremely cool international snacks at the pavilions’ gift shops! While walking around EPCOT, we stumbled upon some uniquely-flavored Lays potato chips at House of Good Fortune! What flavors, you ask?! Mexican Chicken Tomato Flavor and White Rabbit, which is a milk candy from China. Lays potato chips These aren’t your everyday sour cream and onion or barbecue chips, so you know we had to try them! Mexican Chicken Tomato Flavor chips Because you should always save dessert for last (OK, maybe not ALWAYS), we first ripped into the Mexican Chicken Tomato Flavor chips. And, y’all, fans of ketchup flavored chips will also LOVE this snack! Tomato was far and away the strongest flavor, which makes sense given the chips’ reddish hue. Mexican Chicken Tomato Flavor chip Then, it was time for the White Rabbit chips. How in the WORLD do they make chips taste creamy? We’re not sure, but somehow they did! White Rabbit Lays chips In addition to being mysteriously creamy (and crunchy), these chips were just sweet, sweet, sweet! A total dessert chip if there ever was one. While we would have loved a little sweet yet salty situation here, we don’t have much to complain about. Fans of White Rabbit candy will find these chips eerily accurate. White Rabbit chip So, world travelers, if you’re looking for a international snack to bring home to your friends from EPCOT, these chips could be a fun option! Who knows, you may just love them too!
