In case you missed it, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is set to going under a MAJOR refurbishment this year and next year! Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort The Monorail loop resort near the Magic Kingdom had its reopening for non-DVC guests delayed until mid-2021 so that guest rooms could get a Moana-themed makeover! We previously learned that there would be some changes around the Polynesian during the refurb, including the closure of the Monorail station. We ALSO got a sneak peek of some of the concept art for the resort’s makeover! But today, we FINALLY saw some signs at the Poly itself that things were changing! Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Construction signs have been placed around the lobby and the resort. The signs are themed to Maui and are placed prominently around entrances and exits. Polynesian refurb signs from across the lobby Some normal entrances have been reworked to be emergency exits only. Emergency Exit Only There are also temporary walls and signs around the resort, masking some of the work being done. Polynesian construction signs Around the resort, you’ll also see signs directing you where to go as construction happens. Construction at the Polynesian Though the Polynesian’s refurbishment won’t be complete until next summer, we’re excited for what’s to come!

Although many of its theme parks around the world have reopened, Disney is not entirely back up and running. Disneyland Gate The Disneyland Resort theme parks are still closed and cruising is expected to be the last aspect of the company to resume. COVID-19 has greatly impacted the Disney company and other companies worldwide. We’ve seen lots of layoffs in various other hotels and theme parks, and now a large number of layoffs are coming to Disney World. In a statement issued by Josh D’Amaro, current Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products, posted on the Disney Parks News Twitter account, D’Amaro notes that, due to “the prolonged impact of COVID-19 on [Disney’s] business, including limited capacity due to physical distancing requirements and the continued uncertainty regarding the duration of the pandemic — exacerbated in California by the State’s unwillingness to lift restrictions that would allow Disneyland to reopen — [Disney] has made the very difficult decision to begin the process of reducing [their] workforce at [their] Parks, Experiences and Products segment at all levels.” ©Disney Parks News via Twitter Up to this point, Disney had kept many non-working Cast Members on furlough since April, while paying their healthcare benefits. D’Amaro’s notice states that approximately 28,000 domestic employees will be affected by these layoffs, 67% of which are part-time. Disney World Cast Member In a letter sent to employees from D’Amaro, the Chairman notes that he believes “the heart and soul of [Disney’s] business is and always will be people.” He says that they initially hoped the pandemic would be short-lived and that things would return to normal quickly, but that has not been the case, and, as a result, they are now forced to reduce the size of their team “across executive, salaried, and hourly roles.” Cast Members D’Amaro notes that “this is the only feasible option [they] have in light of the prolonged impact of COVID-19 on [Disney’s] business.” The letter also indicates that appointments with affected salaried and non-union hourly employees will be scheduled over the next few days, and that Disney will be beginning the process of discussing the next steps with unions today. Cast Member outside of Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway We’ll be keeping an eye on this situation and letting you know if we hear of any updates.

Walt Disney Co. revealed Tuesday it is laying off 28,000 U.S. employees, including some at Walt Disney World. Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, said the layoffs are happening as the coronavirus has hurt business, and because California has not lifted restrictions that would allow Disneyland to reopen. “We have made the very difficult decision to begin the process of reducing our workforce at our Parks, Experiences and Products segment at all levels,” D’Amaro said in a news release. Disney could not immediately provide a breakdown for how many employees are losing their jobs at Disney World. No notice of mass layoffs has been filed with the state, according to online records. Of the 28,000 employees, about 67% are part-time employees, D’Amaro said, adding the cuts will affect executive, salaried, and hourly jobs. At one point, the Disney empire of theme parks was closed around the world from the coronavirus pandemic, costing the company $2 billion last financial quarter. But as a company, Disney has generated $50 billion in profit over the past five years. Disney World reopened in mid-July after a shutdown dating back to mid-March. Last week, D’Amaro held a virtual press conference with the news media to put pressure on the California government to lift the restrictions, saying tens of thousands were dependent on the theme parks for jobs. In a letter to employees, D’Amaro called the layoffs “the only feasible option.” "For the last several months, our management team has worked tirelessly to avoid having to separate anyone from the company. We’ve cut expenses, suspended capital projects, furloughed our cast members while still paying benefits, and modified our operations to run as efficiently as possible, however, we simply cannot responsibly stay fully staffed while operating at such limited capacity. As heartbreaking as it is to take this action, this is the only feasible option we have in light of the prolonged impact of COVID-19 on our business." Across Orlando’s theme parks, SeaWorld permanently laid off 1,900 furloughed workers at its three Orlando properties this month. Universal also disclosed it is furloughing nearly 5,400 employees indefinitely. As the Disney news broke Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Val Demings, D-Orlando, issued a statement saying, “Like so many others over recent months, these layoffs will be devastating for countless people. It’s up to all of us to step up and help in every way we can.” She urged people in need to reach out to her office for assistance. “We will be working with government and civic partners to provide as much support as possible to these workers and their families, and to all those who are out of work through no fault of their own,” Demings said. "I also once again call on Senator McConnell and Senate Republicans to stop stonewalling and allow a vote on our emergency COVID relief legislation. These layoffs show yet again how desperately that assistance is needed by American households and businesses.” Staff writer Jason Garcia contributed to this report. grusson@orlandosentinel.com

Disneyland is currently in the seventh month of its historic closure, and many are wondering when the state of California will release the theme park industry guidelines needed in order to reopen. Disneyland Main Entrance Today, California Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly held a video conference call providing an update on the state’s reopening blueprint and where each county stands in their own reopening process, and commented on the whereabouts of the state’s reopening guidelines for the theme park industry. In California’s tiered system, each county’s metrics are assessed every Tuesday and their tier status is then re-evaluated, with some counties advancing to the next tier, while other counties maintain their current tier status, and in some instances, counties could move backwards if there’s a rise in cases. Source: covid19.ca.gov We learned today that Orange County did NOT advance to the next tier, Orange (also known as “Moderate”) today. The county advanced from Purple (Widespread) to Red (Substantial) a few weeks ago. According to California’s COVID website, Orange County currently only meets one of the two criteria’s needed to advance to the next tier. Source: covid19.ca.gov After Dr. Ghaly shared his update on the current county tiers, he was asked a reporter question regarding the status of theme park guidelines. The Wall Street Journal asked, “I was wondering where you were in terms of [testifying] when theme parks might reopen, as part of the operations are indoor or outdoor. It looks like Orange County didn’t move to the orange tier so maybe that makes the case more difficult for say, Disneyland, but I was wondering if you could clarify the situation with theme parks and where you’re at.” Disney California Adventure Exit Gate Dr. Mark Ghaly responded by saying, “We’re working hard to get that out in a responsible way as soon as possible so planning can be done by both the counties that are homes to the theme parks as well as the operators of those theme parks.” Disney California Adventure Dr. Ghaly continued on to say, “We know that a number of Californians are eager and wondering when that is coming, and we’re working with those industries to put out something that’s thoughtful, allows us to maintain the rest of our framework in a strong way, and really following those principles of ‘slow and stringent’ to ensure those large activities are done responsibly. So, not quite yet but we’re getting very close.” Disneyland ticket booths Dr. Ghaly’s remarks have echoed what Governor Gavin Newsom has said for several weeks now. Discussions regarding the reopening status of theme parks in the state have been “forthcoming” since August, but organizations such as the California Attractions and Parks Association have claimed that the opposite is true. Disneyland Park Social Distancing Markers Pressure is starting to build on the state to issue the guidelines needed for parks like Disneyland to announce reopening dates. Disney themselves have recently lent their voice to the conversation, with Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Chairman Josh D’Amaro noting that the state has not treated theme parks like they have other sectors, and that “We’re ready, and more importantly, it’s time.” ©Josh D’Amaro We will continue to closely monitor the status of Disneyland and Orange County, and we will let you know of any updates as soon as we learn more!

Although we’ve seen some changes in and around the Disneyland Resort theme parks that show Disney is getting ready for when Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure can reopen to the public, no official reopening date has been set yet. Disneyland Park Social Distancing Markers A trade association representing Disneyland and others and a new commercial created by a separate group have called on Governor Newsom to open up the theme parks. Now, some of California’s state legislators are joining in too. According to Deadline, a large group composed of California state senators and assemblymembers sent a letter to Governor Newsom earlier today requesting that Newsom issue reopening guidelines for theme parks, like Disneyland. You can read the whole letter on Deadline. Disney California Adventure Exit Gate Specifically, the letter notes that “Many indoor facilities are already operating safely at reduced capacities, with face covering and physical distancing requirements, and with heightened hygiene practices. Logic would suggest that since theme parks are controlled venues operating predominantly outdoors, that they too could reopen with similar health and safety protocols.” Disney California Adventure Park Social Distancing Signs The letter also points out that “theme parks throughout the country and internationally have successfully reopened and one glance at the news make its obvious that outbreaks simply aren’t being traced back to these theme parks.” In fact, health officials have noted that no COVID-19 cases have been definitively traced back to Orlando theme parks. Disneyland Park — Health and Safety Reminders The letter goes on to say that theme parks have not been addressed by the Governor’s “Blueprint for a Safer Economy” and thus “have no path forward, no guidance documents for the state’s expectations related to reopening, and no sense of timing to share with their anxious employees and guests.” Disney officials have made a similar statement, noting that without guidance from the state, they are left in a state of limbo. Disney California Adventure Park The California state senators and assemblymembers behind the letter called on Governor Newsom to reopen the theme parks and provide them with the guidance documents they need promptly, insisting that “the time is now to move forward with theme park reopenings.” The legislators insist that “Theme parks have spent the past six months preparing to reopen in a responsible manner [and have] comprehensive plans that include capacity reductions, thorough health and safety protocols, and park-wide modifications to support these efforts.” Disneyland Gate Deadline notes that last week Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products asked California officials to “treat theme parks like you would other sectors and help us reopen.” D’Amaro said that theme parks “need guidelines that are fair and equitable so [they] can better understand [their] future and chart a path toward reopening.” Plexiglass shields installed at the entrance to Disneyland The California Attractions and Parks Association issued its own comprehensive plan for reopening recently and has noted that “amusement parks have opened in 43 states and, unlike bars and restaurants, the data do not show parks contributing to coronavirus spread.” Anaheim’s mayor has also called on Governor Newsom to reopen theme parks, insisting that he is “confident in their ability to reopen safely and responsibly.” Disneyland Ticket Booth Over a month ago, Governor Newsom noted that guidance regarding theme park reopening procedures would be “forthcoming,” but no guidelines have been released to date. We’re keeping our eyes open for any response from Governor Newsom regarding all of these recent statements, letters, and commercials, so be sure to come back for more updates.

If you’re heading to Disney World this year, we’ve got some important tips to share! Disney World Whether you’re a first-time Disney-goer or a seasoned visitor, some recent changes around Disney World might change the way you choose to do things on your next vacation! Here are three tips that will make your Disney World trip easier right now! 1. Consider Using a Ride-Share Service While Disney World transportation is still available to guests, there are some limitations you might not have considered before. First, not all of the modes of transportation are back up and running. For example, the Monorail is NOT currently running to EPCOT and the Friendship Boats have not resumed operations yet. Friendship Boats Aren’t Operating And the transportation that HAS restarted might take a bit longer than prior to the closure. Cast Members are monitoring the loading process of the Monorail, buses, ferry, and Skyliner to ensure that capacity remains limited to allow for social distancing. Disney buses with zone seating and partitions Between the limited offerings and potentially long waits, you might want to consider using a ride share service like Uber or Lyft on your vacation. West Tram and Drop-off sign Using a ride-share service could also be a good option if you’re worried about sharing transportation with other groups of guests! Here was our experience using Disney transportation when the parks reopened! 2. Order Your Table Service Food To Go Disney recently rolled out a new feature on the My Disney Experience app which allows guests to Mobile Order food from select table service locations TO GO! Table Service To Go Screenshot This service was JUST rolled out, so Sanaa in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is currently the only table service restaurant offering the Table Service To Go option. But, Disney did share that this service will soon be expanded to more resort restaurants! Sanaa While Disney hasn’t revealed a full list of restaurants they intend to add, they did share that the restaurants will include other select Disney Resort hotel table service locations! We recently tried the new Mobile Order Table Service To Go option at Sanaa, and being able to snag their awesome Bread Service to-go made our day! Our Table Service To Go feast! And while this service is only offered at one location right now, there’s ANOTHER new feature in My Disney Experience that can make snagging a table service meal more accessible. Disney also recently debuted the Mobile Dine Walk-up Waitlist, which allows guests to see which table service restaurants have walk-up availability for guests! Mobile Dine Walk-up Waitlist screenshot There are over 25 restaurants currently available on Mobile Dine Walk-Up Waitlist, including several in-park options! So if you’d like to see if you can snag a last-minute table, this service will make it WAY easier! Click here to check out our experience using Mobile Order Table Service To Go! 3. Choose Your EPCOT Day Accordingly Currently, all guests are required to get a Disney Park Pass reservation to enter a park. And since park hopping is temporarily suspended, you’ll only be able to visit one park per day. EPCOT With that in mind, you may want to think extra-hard about which day you want to visit EPCOT. Why EPCOT? Well, in our experience, EPCOT has been noticeably more crowded on the weekends, and the difference in crowds compared to the weekdays seems more pronounced than the other parks. But, there is one reason you might not want to automatically decide to opt for a weekday Disney Park Pass for EPCOT. Line for the China Food & Wine Booth We’ve noticed that several of the Food & Wine Festival booths including Islands of the Caribbean, The Alps, and Spain are regularly closed on the weekdays due to lower crowds. So, if one of these booths is home to a must-try Food & Wine item for you, you might actually want to brave the heavier weekend crowds at EPCOT. Spain closed With the ability to park hop in years past, you might not have needed to be quite as strategic when planning out your park days. But with these new factors in mind, make sure you consider what day(s) make the most sense for you to head to EPCOT on your next trip! Ah 2020, the year of Disney World tips we never thought we’d have to share! Be sure to keep these things in mind on your next vacation to ensure you have the most magical vacation possible!

“It’s the circle of life! And it moves us alllllllll!” Lion King Photo Wall Last year, The Lion King was a major discussion topic. Not only did the live-action remake come out, but the beloved original also saw its 25th anniversary! Well, we’ve got BIG news for The Lion King lovers today — we’re getting a live-action sequel! According to Deadline, Walt Disney Studios will be working on a follow-up to the 2019 live-action The Lion King film. Set to direct is Oscar winner Barry Jenkins who scripted Moonlight. Scriptwriter Jeff Nathanson, who wrote the last film, has already completed an initial draft of the script. The Lion King ©Disney We can expect to see the same photo-realistic CGI that was featured in the first film, but otherwise, details are hush-hush. There is no release date or production date set. Deadline notes that the story will explore the mythology of the characters, including Mufasa’s origin story. Of course, music will continue to be a focus. The Lion King Celebration Of the film, Jenkins said, “Helping my sister raise two young boys during the ’90s, I grew up with these characters. Having the opportunity to work with Disney on expanding this magnificent tale of friendship, love, and legacy while furthering my work chronicling the lives and souls of folk within the African diaspora is a dream come true.” Disney The Lion King We’ll be keeping an eye out for any news about The Lion King sequel so stay tuned for the latest updates!

Earlier this year, I introduced you to The Walt Disney Company’s Supplier Diversity team and the passion that drives our work. This includes making a meaningful and positive impact on our diverse supplier communities. During #HispanicHeritageMonth, as we continue to celebrate the stories, cultures and contributions of Latinx individuals both inside and outside of our company, it’s my pleasure to tell you about Badia Spices, one of our Hispanic-owned diverse suppliers. Badia Spices is a purveyor of spices, seasoning blends, marinades and more. Badia Spices supplies spices and seasoning blends to our restaurants and has been one of our leading suppliers since 2005. Thanks to the variety of the spices that Badia supplies to our parks, we’re able to create magic through fan-favorite culinary delights. But before Badia got its start as a Disney parks supplier, the company was built on family tradition. The family-owned brand started in 1967 when Jose Badia, a Cuban exile, began selling his spices around Miami using his station wagon as his “storefront.” By the 1970s, Badia Spices grew in the local market and was featured in grocery stores and bodegas across Miami. The business continued to gain popularity, first within the Hispanic community and then among the general market. Today, it is a leading Hispanic-owned, multi-million-dollar company, led by Jose’s son, Jose “Pepe” Badia, who continues the family legacy while managing the company’s daily operations. “It’s an honor for us at Badia Spices to contribute to our brothers and sisters in the restaurant community. We know how hard it is to start a business – the long hours and sacrifices one must make. Wishing you all a new beginning very soon. We are with you,” shared Jose “Pepe” Badia, owner of Badia Spices, as he reflected on the current situation caused by the global pandemic. If you’re wondering what Badia Spices taste like, you’ve likely already tried them at our parks without even realizing it! Have you ever gone to Disney’s Animal Kingdom and had a meal at Flame Tree Barbecue? Well, one of Badia’s signature rubs is used on some of the menu options available there. Badia Spices even work directly with Disney chefs to create custom blends and flavor pairings that are uniquely Disney. While their spices are now sold in more than 100 countries, these special blends and pairings can only be found within dishes at our Disney parks. From humble beginnings to a monumentally successful global business, the Badia family proves to be an inspiring example of where hard work and determination can take you. Terry Alejo, Business Development Manager for Badia Spices, joined the company six years ago and being a Cuban-American she has been inspired by the Badia family’s story, sharing advice for anyone interested in following the Badia family footsteps. “Understand that business success is not going to happen overnight, which doesn’t mean someone should quit,” Alejo said. “It takes time and years of hard work but if you’re passionate enough and with a little luck, you can make your dreams a reality like Pepe did.” Like Disney, Badia Spices recognizes the importance of enhancing communities. That’s why Badia ensures that all of their employees’ children are able to receive a scholarship to attend college, and the company also donates 5% of sales of certain products to support the National Breast Cancer Foundation, in addition to other philanthropic efforts. During Hispanic Heritage Month and beyond, we’re proud to celebrate the cultures that bring us together and make up our diverse communities. We look forward to highlighting our diverse suppliers and sharing more of the amazing work they do. Be sure to keep following along for the month-long celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month as we continue to share digital activations, #DisneyMagicMoments and more.

There’s a new way to wait for your favorite attractions coming soon to Disneyland Paris. ©Disney You may remember when Shanghai Disneyland implemented the new Disney Standby Pass shortly after reopening to help with physical distancing. Now, Disneyland Paris is following suit as the Virtual Queue Disney Standby Pass arrives in the European parks next month. Disneyland Paris has announced that beginning October 6th, guests will need to book a Standby Pass to access more popular attractions (including the Ratatouille attraction) during certain hours of the day. This is in an effort to respect physical distancing and can be done via the mobile app. Disneyland Paris As we’ve seen in Shanghai, the Standby Pass allows guests to make an online reservation for a participating attraction with a specific time frame selected. During these certain hours, the Disney Standby Pass is the only way to access select attractions. The Disneyland Paris pass may work the same way. ©Disney We’ll be keeping an eye out to see how the Standby Pass runs in Disneyland Paris and which attractions will use it. Stay tuned!

Hollywood & Vine in Disney’s Hollywood Studios welcomed back guests last week! Mickey at Hollywood and Vine! We gave readers a brief overview of our experience after visiting the restaurant. We’re back to give you a detailed review and answer the most frequently asked question, “Is dining here worth it??” Since both restaurants reopened within days of each other, we found ourselves comparing our experience to Cinderella’s Royal Table character dining. You might be surprised to learn our verdict of which character dining came out on top. Hollywood & Vine is amping up the character dining experience and offering a vastly improved menu than they have in the past. Step inside Hollywood & Vine and see what we mean! Atmosphere Like most Disney World restaurants, Hollywood & Vine had to make adjustments to adhere to the current health and safety guidelines. Plexiglass windows were installed to create barriers between guests and Cast Members. We were encouraged to check-in via Mobile Dine Check-In on the My Disney Experience app, as opposed to in-person. Plus, more hand sanitizer stations were placed around the restaurant. Plexiglass Dividers Many of the tables were missing inside the dining room. The tables were once crowded next to each other with hardly any room for characters to wander down the skinny aisles. Now, many of the tables were cleared out to make room for activities and for characters to greet guests at a distance. This also allowed for a greater physical distance between travel groups. Hollywood & Vine During past Hollywood & Vine holiday events, the entrance used to host a character photo opportunity with a scenic background. The Halloween mural was installed so we could still take a picture, but there were no characters to pose with! Hollywood and Vine Halloween Decor Also, note that Cast Members aren’t allowed to touch cameras and take your photo. You may have to opt for a fabulous selfie instead. Characters When we visited, we saw Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Pluto strutting their stuff in fab Halloween costumes. The stars of the show were obviously Minnie and Mickey. They were moving and grooving pretty quickly and hardly stopped for a long period of time. Pluto and Goofy stuck around to socialize for a little longer. Pluto! In order to maintain a distance, character interactions had to change quite a bit. They now greet guests from a distance and mostly consist of waving and creating cute moments from afar. They stop by each table briefly, but can’t get too close. Minnie!! Instead of personal autographs, we were given a pre-signed souvenir card with all of the character’s signatures. Autograph Card What we lacked in up-close photos and personal autographs, we gained in repeated character greetings. We got to mingle with them far more often than our usual visit’s to a seasonal Hollywood & Vine event. We saw all of the characters at least twice and visited Pluto and Goofy even more than that. Goofy! Every 30 minutes or so, the characters do a “Halloween spell dance.” A song plays which asks you to repeat a Halloween spell about trick-or-treating. The characters dance around the open space and it was a fun way to engage with the dining folks. Mickey and Minnie Before the dance happens, the overhead message asks guests to remain seated while the activity happens. Eats Previously, Hollywood & Vine was home to a buffet. Sanitation reasons lead Disney to change the menu to Prix-Fixe experience that includes salad and bread (both are unlimited!), Your choice of entree, dessert, and non-specialty beverage. The Prix-Fixe dinner is $36 for children between the ages of 3-9 and $55 for ages 10 and up. QR Code for Menu If you’ve enjoyed this previously all-you-care-to-eat buffet, prepare for the quite fancy-sounding food you’ll be served below! Hollywood and Vine Menu We started with the Farmhouse Tossed Salad and were given big dinner rolls with butter. The salad was made with mixed greens, tomatoes, red onion, cornbread croutons, and homemade smokehouse ranch dressing. Dinner Rolls The cornbread croutons were a great compliment to the dish and added a bit of sweetness and texture to the salad. We were also fans of the homemade ranch. So creamy, so fresh, SO delish. The bread wasn’t too special or different, but it was buttery and fresh. Plus, who can turn down unlimited bread! (Sorry not sorry — not us!) Farmhouse Salad For the entree, we chose the Pork Osso Bucco. The pork comes topped with a pork reduction gravy and Boursin cheese hominy grits with caramelized apples and lemon gremolata. Pork Osso Bucco This dish was suggested by our server and we’re eternally grateful for the recommendation! The pork practically melted off the bone and was perfectly slow-cooked. It was delightfully tender and packed with seasonal flavors. Traditionally, pork is often paired with apple sauce and the caramelized apples served here upscaled this pairing nicely. Pork Ok, but the grits. Let’s talk about GRITS. They were cheesy. They were perfect. We will dream about them forever and ever. Basically, after experiencing the Mac and Cheese Booth over at EPCOT’s Taste of Food and Wine we’re convinced slapping Boursin Cheese on ANYTHING will make it incredible. This is no exception. It’s crazy good! This isn’t a dish we would normally choose, but we’re SO glad we did! Pork and Grits To finish our experience, we opted for the Chocolate S’mores Pie. All the pies come in a deconstructed style. The s’mores came with a chocolate pie crust, chocolate mousse, graham cracker streusel, and marshmallow fluff. While the entree was the main attraction, the dessert was a pleasant follow-up. S’mores Pie It was really rich, so if you don’t love the taste of thick, chocolate mousse, you might wanna try a different dessert. That said, we really enjoyed the chocolate goodies and crunchy crust! Nosh or Not You Might Enjoy Minnie’s Holiday Dine at Hollywood & Vine if: You want to experience one. of the few character dining opportunities in Disney World right now You’re looking for a table service restaurant at Hollywood Studios that offers entertainment for little ones You’ve had the buffet here before and want to try a different experience at Hollywood & Vine You Might Skip Minnie’s Holiday Dine at Hollywood & Vine if: Characters aren’t your main Disney World priority You’re not a fan of Halloween You want a fancy atmosphere. Try the Hollywood Brown Derby instead! Goofy Meeting and Greeting Overall Hollywood & Vine is killing it when it comes to dining value and character interactions. We honestly had a BLAST hanging out with Mickey and friends. It felt like we had stepped back in time 6 months when characters had the ability to have intimate interactions with guests. And, dare we say it? Hollywood & Vine wins our vote over Cinderella’s Royal Table right now. This verdict is due to the one-on-one time you get with each character and the improved food selections. We loved the Halloween costumes and the fun Halloween soundtrack that plays while you eat. It made us feel like we joined a mini-Halloween party. Plus, the FOOD. It was MILES above our previous visits to the restaurant! Take whatever preconceptions you have about Hollywood and Vine and throw em out the door. This food is legit good, guys. It’s high quality and well prepared and plated. You might forget that months before this was home to all you can eat buffet chickey nuggs and a communal chocolate fondue fountain! We often get the question if a restaurant is “worth it.” The food alone may not be worth the price. However, if you like Halloween and you want to experience character dining, we’d say that it’s worth it. When it comes to table service meals in Hollywood Studios right now, your options are a bit limited. This is a solid addition to the lineup. It was fun, it was cute, it was tasty, and we got plenty of character time. That said, if character dining isn’t your thing, there are plenty of other good Disney restaurants open for you to enjoy.

In lieu of the annual Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic (which was canceled this year due to the global health crisis), the Swan and Dolphin have given us something else to satisfy our food-based event cravings. Screenshot from the Swan and Dolphin Website We already swung by the first of the new Sip, Savor, & Stay Saturdays at the Swan and Dolphin and we had a BLAST. The most anticipated in this series of events is probably the October 17th Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic: Limited Edition — and now there’s another date for this event! The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin announced today that due to overwhelming demand for the Food & Wine Classic: Limited Edition event, they have decided to add an additional date on Friday, October 30th. Friday is a weird day for a Sip, Savor, & Stay Saturday, but we’ll take it! ©Swan & Dolphin The event will run from 5:30PM to 8PM and feature fan favorites from the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic in a more intimate setting. The experience we had at a Sip, Savor, & Stay makes us think these evenings will feel intimate and FUN! Sip, Savor & Stay Saturday To book, you can call the Swan and Dolphin at (888) 828-8850. Is it overkill for us to go to two of the Sip, Savor, & Stay Saturdays? We sure hope not! Click here to learn more about Sip, Savor, & Stay Saturdays!
