Halloween treats, spooky character cavalcades, boo-tiful merchandise, and tons of fun movies to get us in the spirit — is there anything better than Halloween time with a Disney twist!? Mickey at Hollywood and Vine! Thankfully, the Halloween fun has only just begun and more spooky snacks are available all over Disney World. Today, we made our way over to Gasparilla Island Grill at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa to check out their Halloween treats. That’s where we found the Minnie Mouse Witch Cupcake! Minnie Mouse Witch Cupcake This treat features a Chocolate cupcake topped with chocolate cream sandwich cookies for ears, an edible witch hat, and Halloween sprinkles. Minnie Mouse Witch Cupcake For those with particular allergies or sensitivities, here’s a look at the ingredients listed on the packaging. Minnie Mouse Witch Cupcake Ingredients One thing is for sure, this cupcake is adorable!! But, we’ve tried TONS of Halloween treats in Disney World, including other Halloween cupcakes, and this cupcake has some pretty stiff competition. So, how does it stand up in terms of taste? Minnie Mouse Witch Cupcake Overall, it’s a pretty typical cookies and cream cupcake. The chocolate ganache on top is a really nice touch though and it is very rich! Minnie Mouse Witch Cupcake The filling on the inside of the cupcake is really creamy and tastes like Oreo filling. Minnie Mouse Witch Cupcake All in all, this treat is adorable and tasty, and is a good option for those who love Oreos and chocolate (and have had enough of that pumpkin spice)! We’re on the lookout for more Halloween snacks all over Disney World, so be sure to come back for our latest photos and reviews. Click here to look at the 4 Halloween SALES we found in Disney World!

The week of New Year’s Eve is generally a crowded week at Disney World. Despite the parks’ current capacity limits and limited entertainment options due to the global health crisis, that still could be the case this year. Hollywood Studios Entrance And now that we’re looking at park pass availability for the week of New Year’s Eve in 2020, and it looks like at least one park, Hollywood Studios, is going to fill up quickly. Thanks to the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in 2019, Hollywood Studios has seen a bit of a resurgence with park pass reservations filling up quickly for all sorts of guests. And it’s already filling up for the week of New Year’s Eve for Theme Park Ticket Guests. Disney Park Pass Availability New Year’s Week ©Disney Hollywood Studios is also filling up for Disney Resort Guests: Disney Park Pass Availability New Year’s Week ©Disney Shockingly enough, these dates are still available for Annual Passholders. This is pretty opposite of what we have been seeing lately since Annual Pass reservations tend to be the first to go. Remember to keep a close eye on the reservation availability, especially if you were hoping to go on these days. Disney sometimes reopens park pass availability for guests. Stormtroopers at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Our best advice for those wanting to visit Disney World that week is to keep checking availability. We’ll also keep you updated as we do the same!

Character dining has started to return to spots like Hollywood and Vine in Hollywood Studios and we’ve seen characters make very brief appearances in Cinderella’s Royal Table and Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom. Mickey and Minnie But, the character dining experience is very much modified from what it used to be in Disney World. In spots like Hollywood & Vine in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Topolino’s Terrace in Disney’s Riviera Resort, and Garden Grill Restaurant in EPCOT, you can still see some of your favorite characters, like Mickey and friends, in modified ways. It’s Minnie! The characters will typically walk around the restaurant several times during your meal, but they cannot come up to you directly and give you a hug or take a close picture with you. Instead, they wave at you from a socially distanced point and will stop for distanced pictures and selfies. Mickey and Pluto! When they pause for photos, though, you still get the opportunity to chat with them a bit, from a distance, which can be a lot of fun. Howdy Goofy! The characters also cannot sign any autographs, so in these spots, you’ll also typically receive an “autograph card” of some kind from your friends. Again, not the same as having Chip ‘n’ Dale sign your backpack or autograph book, but it’s something! Souvenir Card In places like Be Our Guest Restaurant and Cinderella’s Royal Table, we’ve also seen some characters — namely, the Beast and Cinderella, respectively — make a very limited appearance. Neither the Beast nor Cinderella really paused for selfies or distanced photos, and we didn’t really get the chance to ask them about their castle quarantine activities or anything like that. They simply strolled throughout the restaurant, waved, and made their way out. Cinderella also only walks through a small section of the restaurant, so you could end up being far away from her when she walks through. This can be a bit disappointing, especially if you or your little ones were looking forward to having more of a standard character experience. Cinderella Disney has reduced the price of some of these character dining experiences, but others have actually increased in price. Overall, none of them are cheap by any means. Lunch at the Garden Grill Restaurant will cost you $55 for adults and $36 for kids, which is actually an increase in price compared to what it was pre-closing ($42 for adults and $27 for kids). At Cinderella’s Royal Table, lunch will cost you $62 for adults and $37 for kids, which is only $13 less than what it used to be. Breakfast at Topolino’s Terrace with the characters is slightly less than the other two, but will still cost you $42 for adults and $27 for kids (up from $41 for adults and $24 for kids). Cinderella’s Royal Table So, are these spots worth the splurge? We asked all of YOU, our readers, via our Instagram, the following question: With all the changes currently in place, do you think character dining is still worth the splurge? And here’s what you had to say: Is Character Dining Worth the Splurge? About 4,727 votes (32%) were placed in favor of character meals, while more than DOUBLE that amount (10,258 votes or 68%) said “No Way” to the current prices. Let’s take a look at some of the reasons our readers gave us. “Of Course!” Character Dining Is Worth the Splurge! Some of you felt like the splurge was worth it. One reader said, “It’s a job for those [Cast Members] and memories for the people who choose to go!!” It’s certainly possible that, for some, just seeing the characters and chatting with them one-on-one, even from a distance is worth the cost alone. Chip ‘n’ Dale Even though it’s a different experience, there’s no denying that, at least with some of these character interactions, you can still create some fun and magical memories. For some spots, like Cinderella’s Royal Table or even Be Our Guest, the atmosphere — the ability to dine INSIDE of one of the castles — may also carry a lot of weight for those who see the value of these experiences, despite their modifications. Cinderella’s Royal Table Other spots, like Hollywood & Vine, may get an added bonus because they have a special theme — currently, you can see Disney characters in their Halloween costumes there. If you aren’t headed to Magic Kingdom for those Halloween cavalcades, or you simply want to see them in some different costumes up close, that may be enough of an added benefit. “No Way.” Character Dining Isn’t Worth it Right Now. One reader told us it isn’t worth it to do a character dining experience right now, “not for the price they’re charging.” Another said that it might be worth it, but “only if the price is lowered.” Cinderella Card Going to Disney World is expensive enough on its own, and it seems the majority of you felt that adding a character dining experience on top of it, given the current changes in place, simply isn’t worth the extra money. Pluto! On the one hand, character dining is an extremely different experience than what it used to be. But, for some, seeing Mickey and the gang in some way that’s a bit more intimate than the character cavalcades is that touch of magic they NEED for their trip. Check out our review of our experience at Cinderella’s Royal Table and whether we think this particular spot is worth the splurge.

It’s been quite the week for The Walt Disney Company. Walt Disney Company Logo Following the news that the Parks, Experiences, and Products department would be laying off 28,000 people, Disney executive chairman and former CEO Bob Iger has QUIT California Governor Gavin Newsom’s economic recovery task force. A Disney representative confirmed this news with The Sacramento Bee, but did not say why or when Iger decided to leave the task force, which also includes the likes of Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff and Apple CEO Tim Cook. Walt Disney Company Chairman Bob Iger The news of Iger’s departure comes on the same day that the California Theme Parks, including Disneyland, asked the state NOT to finalize theme park reopening guidelines without their input. Sleeping Beauty Castle The potential reopening of Disneyland, which has been closed since mid-March due to the coronavirus pandemic, has not been without drama. The park initially proposed a July 17 reopening, but that plan fizzled out. And while Downtown Disney has been open with social distance measures and capacity limits, there’s still no date for theme parks, despite mounting pressure from Disney officials, California legislators, trade associations, and other groups. Disneyland Gate The reopening of Disneyland and California’s theme park guidelines, which may be released on Friday, is an ongoing story, and we’ll be sure to keep you updated!

Disneyland has been closed for over six months due to the coronavirus pandemic, and there’s still no reopening date or plan. Sleeping Beauty Castle And there’s been mounting pressure from Disney officials, California legislators, trade associations, and coalition of Anaheim, Buena Park and Garden Grove city leaders and the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce for Governor Newsom to issue theme park reopening guidelines that these locations need to properly reopen. And earlier today, it seemed as though California Governer Gavin Newsom was going to issue theme park regulations this week, but now, according to The Orange County Register, The California Attractions and Parks Association, which includes Disneyland, asked state officials NOT to finalize theme park reopening plans. Pixar Pal-A-Round and Incredicoaster Why? They want state officials to listen to theme park operators before making any official guidelines. Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run ©Disney “We ask the governor not to finalize guidance for amusement parks before engaging the industry in a more earnest manner, listening to park operators’ expertise and collaborating with the industry on a plan that will allow for amusement parks to reopen responsibly while still keeping the health and safety of park employees and guests a top priority,” CAPA executive director Erin Guerrero said in a statement. Disneyland In addition to Disneyland, CAPA represents Universal Studios, Knott’s Berry Farm, Six Flags Magic Mountain, SeaWorld San Diego, Legoland California, and more. Universal Studios Hollywood It’s still yet to be seen whether or not California will go ahead and release their guidelines anyway, but the second we know anything about Disneyland’s reopening, we will fill you in!

One thing we love about the 2020 EPCOT Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is that we get to try a lot of boozy drinks from around the world! Appleseed Orchard Beers So when we noticed a new beer over at the China Booth, we thought, “Hey, let’s try that!” That new beer is the Tsingtao Lager. It’s $4.75 for 6 ounces and $8.50 for 12 ounces. It’s got a great yellow amber color! Tsingtao Lager at China Booth But this beer just didn’t wow us. In fact, we thought it tasted almost exactly like a regular old Sam Adams. It’s a light lager — nothing special. Tsingtao Lager And although that was a little disappointing, we were hot, so a cold beer still hit the spot! And if you’re a fan of Sam Adams, then you would probably like this one. And, hey! Then you can say you’ve had a beer from China! Also, we bet it would go really well with the Crispy Fried Shrimp (on Chengdu Street Fries!).

With the Halloween season rolling in, there are plenty of spooky treats around the parks. Tiramisu For those of you who can’t make it out to Disney World for Halloween time, we’ve got the perfect scary recipe for you! Introducing, Monsters, Inc. Pop Tarts! If you are a fan of Monsters, Inc. you will not want to miss this recipe from Disney! Monsters Inc. Bus Wrap ©Disney Here’s how you make it! Ingredients: Pop Tarts 2 store-bought pie crust dough sheets Flour (for dusting surface area) 1 jar of jam (strawberry and blueberry) Butter, melted Icing 1 bag powdered sugar 1/2 cup meringue powder 2 tablespoons vanilla extract 1/2 cup warm water Lime green, leaf green, sky blue, and royal blue food coloring Materials Rolling pin Toothpicks Pastry brush 5 piping bags Piping bag tips (#2) Kitchen scissors ©Disney Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Start by lightly dusting your work area with a coating of flour to keep the dough from sticking. Unroll your pie crust dough and flatten with a rolling pin onto the flour-coated surface. Begin cutting 3 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangles. Depending on the size and shape of your pie crust dough, you will only be able to get 2-3 rectangles from each crust. Combine your scraps and continue to roll out the dough until it is used up. (From the 2 packs of pie crust dough, they were able to get 18 rectangles for 9 pop tarts) Next, take half of your rectangular dough cutouts and place 2 tablespoons of jam in the center of each. Once complete, take the other half of your pie crust cutouts and place them on top of the jam filling. Seal it up by scoring the ends with a fork and vent piercing the top layer with a toothpick. Brush the tops of each pop tart with melted butter and place in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool for 2 hours. During this time, you can start making the icing. Combine powdered sugar, meringue powder, vanilla extract, and water. Split into 5 bowls for each of the colors. Once the pop tarts have completely cooled, place the lime green icing (for Mike Wazowski) and sky blue icing (for Sulley) in piping bags with 1/4″ of the tips snipped off. Coat the top of the pop tarts with icing (avoiding scored edges). Allow 30 minutes- 1 hour for the base layer of icing to fully harden before proceeding with the piping details. Then, spoon the remaining 3 colors (leaf green, royal blue, and white) into 3 separate piping bags fitted with a tip. Starting with the Mike Wazowski pop tarts, pipe a quarter-sized circle for his eye using the white icing. Next, grab the leaf green icing and create 2 triangular shapes above the eye for his horns and a half-circle shape for his mouth. Place a dime-sized circle in the center of the white circle to form his pupil. Lastly, switch back to the white icing and add a few triangular teeth and a highlight to the inner pupil. For Sulley, grab your sky blue pop tarts and the piping bag with white icing. Form 2 dime-sized circles for his eyes and 2 small triangles below his right eye for the teeth. Next, with the royal blue icing make 2 crescent shapes above the eyes for his horns, a simple curved line for his smile, and a diamond shape for his nose. Add 2 small royal blue circles to the center of the eyes for his pupils. Next, take the leftover sky blue icing and pipe stripes onto Sulley’s horns. Finish by using your remaining white icing to form 2 highlights on the pupils. Let the icing sit for about 1 hour before enjoying! ©Disney And there is your spooky treat! Aren’t they too adorable to eat? Whether you love the film characters or you love classic pop tarts, this recipe is sure to make you scream (from deliciousness)! Looking for more Disney recipes?

Cook’s. Constance’s For Better or For Worse Wedding Cake The Pumpkin Bread Tiramisu from Rosie’s All-American Cafe will be leaving the Pumpkin Cheesecake Cannoli from PizzeRizzo in the dust as it advances to the next round. Pumpkin Bread Tiramisu When we compare two very skeletal treats the Halloween Tiramisu from The Market at Ale & Compass and Beach Club Marketplace bested the Box of Bones Eclair from Backlot Express. Tiramisu It’s a whoopie pie smackdown! The Pumpkin Whoopie Pie from The Market at Ale & Compass and Beach Club Marketplace was chosen over the Pumpkin Spice Whoopie Pie from The Artist’s Palette. Pumpkin Whoopie Pie The ubiquitous Spider Web Mickey Cookie got the boot. Our readers chose the Spooky Mickey Brownie from Roaring Fork!

We’ve always thought the Yacht Club Resort has arguably one of the prettiest lobbies on Disney property. Yacht Club Resort As we were walking through today, we noticed something a little different about the lobby…new furniture! Previously, the furniture in the Yacht Club lobby was fitting to the theme but a little outdated with items like this striped couch. Yacht Club Resort Lobby The new furniture so far looks more sleek and modern. New Yacht Club Furniture They added these adorable orange and striped chairs that really brighten up the place! New Yacht Club Chairs And the detailing on this new blue couch is beautiful! (LOOK at those crazy feet!) New Yacht Club Couch All of the furniture they are bringing in is brand new! Not all of the furniture items are here yet so the lobby looked a little bit like a ghost town, but we cannot wait to see it all filled up! (We can’t be the only ones wanting to do cartwheels across that big empty rug, can we?!) Yacht Club This lobby renovation began with repainting the ceilings and we are so glad they decided to upgrade the furniture as well.

Love it or hate it, candy corn is pretty much one of the most iconic Halloween treats. And here at DFB, we just happen to be a fan of all things candy corn. Candy Corn Milkshake And we’ve tried a lot of amazing candy corn treats, including candy corn cotton candy, candy corn margaritas, and even candy corn milkshakes! So when we saw this Candy Corn Cupcake (which is listed as the Seasonal Cupcake) at Le Petit Cafe at Disney’s Riviera Resort, we knew we had to try it! Seasonal Cupcake at Le Petit Cafe Just look at it! It’s SO MUCH FUN! The cupcake itself, though, is actually pretty simple: it’s a standard vanilla cupcake, but with LOADS of frosting that makes it look like candy corn. Inside, you’ll even find a little bit of chocolate icing. We love ourselves a cupcake topped with heaps of icing!!! It also has a whimsical white chocolate daisy on top. Seasonal Cupcake at Le Petit Cafe While the flavors are simple, this cupcake was very yummy. And overall, we feel like this cupcake was much better than the other Candy Corn Cupcake we tried at the Yacht and Beach Club Resort. So, if you’ve struggling to choose, we suggest this little cutie. Seasonal Cupcake at Le Petit Cafe The cupcake is $5.99, and we would totally eat another one. We’ll be sure to keep our eye for out other candy corn goodies and let you know what tasty treats we find!
