Over the last few years, Disney PhotoPass Service’s Memory Maker One Day product has undergone quite an expansion at Walt Disney World Resort! When first introduced a few years ago, Memory Maker One Day was only available for purchase in one location and only during special events. Thanks to its popularity, today it’s available for purchase every day of the year and in a variety of locations! Before I get into too many more specifics, some of you might be wondering what Memory Maker One Day even is. So I’ll rewind a bit: Memory Maker One Day provides you with many of the same benefits as Memory Maker, just for one day of PhotoPass photos taken at Walt Disney World Resort. That means for one day of your choice, you’ll get digital downloads of all your Disney PhotoPass photos linked to your account that were taken on that day. Every smile and thrill! You’ll be surprised how many you can capture in a single day. You’ll have 45 days to link and download all of your photos from the day of your choice. Memory Maker One Day is available for $69 in the My Disney Experience mobile app once you’ve linked at least one Disney PhotoPass photo to your account from the day to which you plan to apply the entitlement. You’ll also find Memory Maker One Day at Walt Disney World Resort theme park ticket windows and Disney PhotoPass Centers. Trying to decide between Memory Maker and Memory Maker One Day? It’s really rather simple! Memory Maker costs $169 or $199, depending on when you purchase it and allows you to take home all of your PhotoPass photos taken during your vacation. So according to my calculator, Memory Maker is a good option for you if you’re visiting Walt Disney World Resort for three or more days. If you’ll be visiting for one or two days (or only attending a special event such as Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party), purchasing $69 Memory Maker One Day for each day of your visit is the better option for you. Here’s more information if you need a refresher on Memory Maker! Memory Maker is subject to the applicable terms and policies. Includes photos taken during the applicable Memory Maker Window as defined in such terms (generally, photos taken (i) within one day for Memory Maker One Day or (ii) within 30 days from the date of first activation for standard Memory Maker). A MagicBand is required to receive certain attraction photos and other digital content. Online registration required. Disney PhotoPass Photos in your account will expire pursuant to the expiration policy. Downloads are restricted to personal use only. Not responsible for missing, lost or damaged photos. Subject to restrictions and change without notice. Valid theme park admission required for certain photo locations. View the full article

As a Latina woman, I can tell you that I can’t resist a beat when I hear it. Us, Hispanics, love to dance and listen to music everywhere we go! And a Walt Disney World Resort vacation is no exception. Let me give you some tips on the best places to rumba around our vacation kingdom. Paradiso 37 at Disney Springs is the perfect spot! Dancers and live music pair perfectly with the largest selection of tequila at Disney Springs. If you want a margarita that’s big enough to share, this is the place to find it. Plus, the P37 nachos are available all night long, along with other favorites like Quesadillas, Canadian Poutine and North American Corn Dogs. Check out this post from a few weeks ago for more late night options at Disney Springs! If you’re looking for some melodies a la cubana, Bongos Cuban Café is the place for you. Gloria and Emilio Estefan’s award-winning Cuban restaurant offers spacious surroundings that will allow you to be a conga line leader, or quiet spectator. Not to mention the live entertainment every day starting at 6:00 pm and the amazing island flavors! But sometimes you just want to listen to wonderful music and relax with an ice cold margarita. Head over to Dockside Margaritas at Disney Springs Marketplace and enjoy handcrafted margaritas, crafted beers, live entertainment and delightful views of Buena Vista Cove. Plenty of places to get your groove on or enjoy the some relaxing beats! Which one is your favorite? View the full article

In addition to all of the excitement that’s happening at the Disneyland Resort, the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort are serving up some delicious new bites just for you! If you’re staying at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel or the Disneyland Hotel – or even just visiting one of these fabulous hotels – read on to find out about all of these new eats. First up, I’ve got a special announcement about two new character dining experiences coming this summer to Storytellers Café at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and to Disney’s PCH Grill at Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel. At Storytellers Café, guests will join Mickey Mouse and his friends for Mickey’s Tales of Adventure. Discover the fun with your adventurous storyteller, Mickey, as he welcomes you into his immersive tales of adventure through his magical Adventurer’s Journal. At Disney’s PCH Grill, guests can get in on all the beachy fun with Donald Duck’s Seaside Breakfast. Donald has finally been reunited with his heart-throb Daisy, and now you’ll be able to soak in those rays and catch some waves on the dance floor with Donald, Daisy, and Stitch as you chow down on an all-you-care-to-enjoy breakfast buffet. Both of these experiences are coming this summer, which means reservations will be opening soon! Stay tuned for more information. Also at Storytellers Café, there are new exciting additions to the lunch and dinner menus, such as Avocado Toast. This new starter comes with crushed avocado, lemon-olive oil, parsley, celery leaves, quail eggs, and Espellete pepper on top of a slice of grilled sourdough bread. Or try the new Kale Salad with almonds, currants, Grana Padano, bacon-bread crumbs, and garlic vinaigrette. You’ll also find new ‘Nduja Sausage and Margherita Artisanal Pizzas. The first comes topped with ‘nduja sausage, mushrooms, artichokes, and potatoes, while the Margherita Pizza comes topped with fresh mozzarella and basil. Both come with Grana Padano, fire-roasted tomatoes, and aged provolone cheese. Specific to the dinner menu are the Chicken Paillard and the Braised Boneless Short Rib. The Chicken Paillard features a lightly-breaded chicken breast and comes with roasted potatoes and heirloom carrots and is topped with a lemon-caper sauce. The Braised Boneless Short Rib comes paired with mashed potatoes, creamy horseradish, and Brussels sprouts. Speaking of short rib, on the lunch menu is the Short Rib Grilled Cheese on sourdough bread with cheddar cheese and caramelized onions. And on the dessert menu for both meal periods is the sweet and scrumptious Vanilla Crème Brûlée with orange-vanilla biscotti and marinated raspberries. All of these delicious items are just a few of the new menu additions at Storytellers Café. Check out the full menu to see more! At Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel, a new Build-Your-Own Poke Bowl is available at Surfside Lounge and the Sand Bar! This popular and trendy dish comes with avocado, cucumber, and red and green onions. You can customize your bowl with your choice of base, protein, and sauce! Bases include white rice, brown rice, or romaine leaves and proteins include tuna, salmon, or tofu. All proteins are marinated in a savory ponzu sauce. And for the sauce topping, choose between spicy mayo, poke sauce, or wasabi. Each bowl is also garnished with seaweed wakame, tobiko caviar, fried onions, pickled ginger, bonito flakes, and sesame seeds. With so many different combinations, you might just have to come back for more! Right next door at the Disneyland Hotel, Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar, Tangaroa Terrace, the Poolside Bar have updated their menus. You can now find the same delicious offerings at all three of these locations! One of these new items is the Island-Style Hot Dog – with ground pork and pineapple sausage in a pretzel bun and topped with whole-grain mustard, onion sauce, pickled carrots, daikon, and Fresno chiles. There’s also a Chicken Teriyaki Bowl featuring diced chicken breast on a bed of rice and vegetables and topped with teriyaki sauce and togarashi aïoli, wonton chips, and sesame seeds. Or try the Rongo Salad with shredded green papaya, fresh lettuce, marinated tofu, cucumber, gooseberries, rice noodles, and carrots tossed in a sesame-ginger vinaigrette. And of course, there’s always the Pu Pu Platter if you can’t decide on just one! This platter has a little bit of everything with Sweet-and-Spicy Asian Wings, Fried Spring Rolls, Panko-Crusted Chinese Long Beans, Pork Gyoza, and Togarashi Aïoli. With all three hotels dishing up great new food, there’s plenty to go around, so be sure to stop by and have a bite! View the full article

Happy birthday to Sprinkles Cupcakes! This beloved cupcake Mecca is celebrating thirteen years of operation on April 13, 2018. And to celebrate — naturally!! — they’re introducing a Limited Edition Cupcake! Black Velvet Birthday Cupcakes from Sprinkles! Sprinkles invited DFB to preview these indulgent goodies (but, as always, the review is 100% ours!), and we couldn’t pass up cupcakes — especially ones as yummy-sounding as these. Black Velvet Birthday Cupcake Oh, yeah! Happy birthday to all of us! This cupcake is a classic-with-a-twist! It’s a Black Velvet Cupcake frosted with rich Chocolate Frosting! Black Velvet Cupcake It’s topped with Sprinkles’ signature simple decoration, in this case a star. It contrasts nicely with the super-dark frosting. Frosting and star detail And to really turn this cupcake into a party, it’s filled with tiny colorful Sprinkles! And by filled, we mean filled. Like the ratio of cake:sprinkles is 2:1! Sprinkles-filled cupcake! We love this whole concept — and we think kids (of all ages!) will get a kick out of those hidden sprinkles! And, well, y’all better because they are unavoidable. As soon as we cut into the cake, they spilled out. (They even started popping out when we took off some of the wrappers!) Sprinkles, sprinkles everywhere! And if you’re wondering where the Black Velvet comes in? The cake is super, duper, duper chocolate-y. We’re thinking there’s an abundance of dark chocolate cocoa in the batter (super rich and yummy!). Dark, dark Black Velvet Cupcake… and more sprinkles! Lucky for Disney food fans, the Happy Birthday Cupcake will be available at Sprinkles locations at Walt Disney World and Disneyland starting on April 13! And if you’re like us and you can’t get enough cupcake pics, you can follow all the fun on social media by following #HBDSprinkles! Want to look back at Sprinkles’ first steps at Disney Springs?

Alert! Alert! Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant is open! Learn About: Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant Magic Kingdom Disney World Restaurants This seasonal quick service spot is located right at the entrance of Tomorrowland in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. And when we say seasonal, we mean, like, super seasonal. It’s very rare to see this spot open, but Spring Break’s notoriously massive crowds were enough to open the Restaurant for the lunch time rush — 11AM to 3:30PM during my visit! The menu here is small and variable, and it won’t appeal to every Walt Disney World guest. But if you’re looking for something simple and fast, this might just fit the bill for you. Plus you can use Mobile Ordering here, making this an even more convenient location! And it’s actually a pleasant place to dine during the spring (and early summer before the heat really kicks in!). There’s a reason Tomorrowland Terrace is the spot for the Happily Ever After Fireworks Dessert Party: views! The seating here has a Hub and Castle view (albeit blocked from some seats). So join me as I check out Tomorrowland Terrace! Atmosphere Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant is about what you’d expect from a counter service restaurant in Tomorrowland: some neon, funky fonts on the signs, and lots of metal (or metallic) accents. Entering Tomorrowland Terrace! Ordering is standard practice (unless you opt for Mobile Ordering!): line up, place order, move forward to wait, pick up food. Ordering kiosks at Tomorrowland Terrace There’s quite a lot of seating (open air but covered and shady), but during Spring Break there were still seat vultures hovering around looking for tables. You could also grab your grub and go hang out in the Hub! Second and lower level seating Views of Cinderella Castle vary at Tomorrowland Terrace, but if you can snag a seat with a view, it’s a good ‘un! View from Tomorrowland Terrace seating You’ll find a simple condiment bar here, complete with basic essentials like ketchup, napkins, salt, etc. Condiment Bar But with what shall we eat these delightful ketchup packets? Eats The menu on my visit to Tomorrowland Terrace was exceptionally small — and it’s never very big. But in the past the eats were a bit more adventurous. Last year, for example, we saw a Pulled Pork Banh Mi Sandwich and a Spicy Chicken Sandwich on the menu, plus House-Made Chips and a Coconut Tres Leche Cake! (The Banh Mi had us reminiscing about when Tomorrowland Terrace served Asian-style cuisine!) But this visit was about as stripped down a menu as one could possibly imagine. I found an Angus Bacon Cheeseburger and Dipped Chicken Strips (with a choice of Buffalo, BBQ, or Honey Mustard Garlic Parmesan sauce). The menu notes that you can request a Vegetable Burger in lieu of the beef, and that burger is served on a pretzel bun, so that’s a nice touch. Still. It’s a burger. Tomorrowland Terrace Menu You can also find a Chef Salad on the menu. I know. It’s not the most enticing picture of a salad we’ve ever seen. Tomorrowland Terrace Menu The sides and desserts are simple — and we’re happy to see the Rocky Road Brownie still here from last year. Kids’ options are miniscule: Uncrustables, Chicken Strips, and Mac and Cheese. Most kids would probably be okay with this, but we’d like to see a more imaginative Mickey Check meal, if we’re being honest. But I know, I know…Disney’s simply trying to tame the Spring Break crowds. Tomorrowland Terrace Menu Drinks are standard here as well. (Don’t forget to ask for a free glass of ice water!) Tomorrowland Terrace Menu A nice new feature of Tomorrowland Terrace is the availability of Mobile Ordering! You’ll use your My Disney Experience app to place your order, making any changes or choices right in the app. Mobile Ordering at Tomorrowland Terrace When you arrive, use the app to tell the restaurant that you’re present. You’ll see the progress of your order right in the app! And remember: you can apply your Disney Dining Plan credits with Mobile Ordering now! But note that when it’s crowded, the mobile ordering system gets a little glitchy — it still took a long time to get our order and there were lots of mobile order guests waiting a while at the same time we were there. Tomorrowland Terrace Mobile Ordering When your order is ready, step up to the Mobile Order Pick Up window. So simple! Mobile Ordering Pick Up at Tomorrowland Terrace On this visit, I ordered the Dipped Chicken Strips with Buffalo Sauce (of course!). It comes with a hefty side of fries, and the chicken strips are sizable enough to share unless you’re really famished. Chicken Strips with Buffalo Sauce The Buffalo Sauce had a traditional hot sauce flavor, with just a hint of spice. (I could’ve stood for more heat, but you know that’s how I roll). Buffalo Chicken Strips I was happy to find that the sauce comes in a cup rather than in a small plastic package. There was sufficient sauce for the strips (and even a little pooled in the bottom of the cardboard boat when I dumped it all in). And the strips were nice and crispy — classic Disney Parks chicken strips. And that’s a good thing! Buffalo Sauced Chicken Strips I enjoyed the Dipped Chicken Strips (and the French Fries, which were nothing special but still. French Fries.), and they are certainly enough to satisfy hunger. Is this adventurous eating? Nope. Do we wish the menu here had some other, more interesting options? Yup. But in the Hunger Games that is Spring Break in Disney World, “you get what you get and you don’t throw a fit,” I guess. Nosh or Not? Stop into Tomorrowland Terrace if: It’s open — and you’re in desperate need of some traditional theme park grub! You want to dine with Cinderella Castle views. You’ve got a picky eater with you (or you are one!) who wants all chicken strips all the time. Head elsewhere if: You desire something other than a burger or chicken strips. You want to dine with Cinderella Castle views — but you prefer a high-quality Casey’s hot dog or some Cosmic Ray’s grub. You don’t care for quick service eats and want to enjoy a more leisurely table service restaurant. Overall Look, Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant isn’t winning any awards (not even for the views, despite them being decent), but it’s nice to have an extra quick service option during the chaos of the peak seasons. If you happen to visit when the park is packed, keep this easy option in mind! Visiting Walt Disney World during the busy season?

Amidst the aromas of the International Flower & Garden Festival, you might just smell some new eats being cooked up at Epcot! I’ve got new menu items at Refreshment Port, Electric Umbrella, Liberty Inn and more comin’ your way, so let’s take a trip around Epcot and I’ll dish out all the delicious details. We begin our journey in Future World, specifically Sunshine Seasons in The Land. Here we’ve got a couple new breakfast options that will be sure to kick-start your day in the park. The first is a Breakfast Croissant Sandwich – eggs, bacon, and Colby Jack on a flaky croissant and served with a side of breakfast potatoes. The second is a fantastic Breakfast Broccoli and Egg-White Soufflé served with a multigrain croissant and fresh fruit. And if you plan to return to Sunshine Seasons later in the day, there are a couple new items on the lunch and dinner menus as well – like the Rotisserie Turkey Breast Club Sandwich that comes with roasted turkey breast, bacon jam, and avocado spread served on fresh ciabatta bread. There’s also the Tuna Poke Salad – a noodle and wakame seaweed salad topped with tuna poke, spicy mayonnaise and sweet soy. And then there’s my personal favorite – the BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich with coleslaw and garnished with a fresh, crisp pickle! Another good option for lunch would be Electric Umbrella, where a Mojo Pulled Pork Burger, a Brisket Sandwich, and a Vegetable Quinoa Salad have been added to the menu. The Mojo Pulled Pork Burger comes with cilantro and lime aïoli; and the Brisket sandwich comes with a delicious beer cheese sauce. And for a vegetarian option, the Veggie Quinoa Salad consists of quinoa, riced cauliflower, pickled carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes, edamame, and agave-lime dressing. And now we enter World Showcase. Starting at Refreshment Port near Canada, you may have noticed that a special poutine has been tempting the taste buds of our guests. Here you’ll find two new poutine offerings: Traditional Poutine consisting of french fries topped with beef gravy and cheese curds and Signature Poutine consisting of french fries topped with Canadian cheddar-bacon sauce and cheese curds. And you can still get that deliciously sweet Croissant Doughnut with cinnamon sugar and the option to top it with vanilla, chocolate, or swirl soft-serve ice cream. For the adults out there, you might want to try the specialty Bloody Mary! Traveling around to the back of World Showcase, our next stop is at Liberty Inn in the American Adventure. New to the menu are Fried Shrimp and a Fried Chicken Sandwich with lettuce, pimento cheese, and smoked bacon. On the lighter side, you can try the new Cobb Salad with warm chicken, green apples, avocado, tomatoes, cucumbers, hard-boiled eggs, blue cheese, and bacon, topped with a sherry vinaigrette. And for dessert, we welcome two new desserts with open mouths: an Apple Pie Cheesecake and a Marshmallow Cookie Crunch Cupcake! Finally, we now arrive in Norway, where the Midnattssol Bakeri is now open for business! Here you’ll find your favorite Norwegian snacks such as the popular School Bread, Lefse, Anna’s Birthday Cake, and Chocolate Pretzels. On the savory side, the Norwegian Club Sandwich and the Viking Dog can also be found at this new bakery location. The Norwegian Club Sandwich consists of ham, turkey, bacon, Jarlsberg, and Muenster with fresh tomatoes, sliced red onion, and lingonberry mayonnaise on toasted multigrain bread. The Viking Dog is an all-beef hot dog served with pulled pork, purple cabbage, spicy mayonnaise, bacon, and fried onions. No matter where you go, your day at Epcot will be deliciously delightful with these new eats throughout the park. Come on out and taste them for yourself! And while you’re here, you can also check out the Outdoor Kitchens at the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival through May 28.

Discover magnificent new sights as you glide along the Rivers of America aboard the iconic Mark Twain Riverboat. 83. Dance with Groot at the Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Dance Off! (Just don’t ask him what the lyrics are.) 84. Get to your destination in style. Take the Red Car Trolley in Disney California Adventure park. 85. An old abominable pal is waiting to say hello inside The Collector’s Fortress. (He may give you a cold shoulder though.) 86. Need a new paint job…or just a new T-shirt? Visit Ramone’s House of Body Art for some new racing stripes. 87. Visit The Collector’s Warehouse for all your cosmic keepsakes. 88. Climb to the tallest heights as you explore Tarzan’s Treehouse. (Unlike Tarzan, shirt and shoes must be worn.) 89. Wakanda forever! Meet the Black Panther himself along with his fearless protectors, the Dora Milaje. 90. Make a landing over at Smokejumpers Grill for a hearty meal. (Plus, take a look at all the artifacts scattered about and you might discover a few surprises.) 91. Go for the full mix and experience every song on Guardians of the Galaxy—Mission: BREAKOUT! 92. This rideshare is one you won’t soon forget as you make your way through Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin. 93. Read all about it and be all about the Red Car Trolley News Boys. 94. Listen closely when in Tivan’s gardens. You may hear some familiar sounds. 95. Vyloos are curious creatures. Wave hello to them as you await your tour of the Tivan collection. 96. Get a taste of California at The Bakery Tour at Pacific Wharf. 97. Read the front page of the Daily Bugle at Heroic Encounter: Spider-Man. (A famous Avenger made the front page.) 98. Which hat fits you best? Go mad with all the choices at The Mad Hatter shop in Fantasyland. 99. Get swept up in the music at Silly Symphony Swings. (The tunes will make you feel like you can soar.) 100. It may be just a figment of our imagination, but we think we spotted a small dragon in the entry to The Collector’s Fortress. There you have it!

Welcome to the worlds of Tomorrow, Yesterday, and Fantasy — Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom! We’re bringing you What’s New in the ol’ MK — from Spring Break week, y’all! Welcome to the Magic Kingdom! Did we mention it was Spring Break week? Main Street, U.S.A., knows! Main Street, U.S.A. is hoppin’ for Spring Break! And here’s the line for Space Mountain. All the way to Auntie Gravity’s. Because Spring Break Week. Space Mountain line is l-o-n-g. But let’s see What’s New, shall we? Prepare yourself for many menu updates, one must-have merchandise item, and a Purple Wall refresh! Magic Kingdom Menus and Eats Main Street Bakery (i.e. Magic Kingdom’s Starbucks location!) has a nifty solution for coffee lovers on busy days: a Brewed Coffee Only Line! Main Street Bakery Brewed Coffee Only Line This line is at the front of the store and has a dedicated register and cast members for guests who need their brewed coffee (available in every size). Cast Members for Brewed Coffee Only Line The Brewed Coffee Only Line should reduce wait times for those looking for simple brewed coffee and therefore reduce the size of the rest of the line. Here’s hoping! Cast Members for Brewed Coffee Only Line Moving down Main Street, Casey’s Corner has a new Hot Diggity Dog of the Month: Cuban! This is Casey’s signature all-beef hot dog topped with Mojo-marinated pulled pork, dill pickles, swiss cheese, and yellow mustard. Sounds delicious to us! Casey’s Hot Diggity Dog of the Month is the Cuban! Hanging a right into Tomorrowland, the Sno Cone Cart is back in operation, just in time for the spring and summer temperatures! You can grab a frozen treat here as well as almonds and popcorn! Tomorrowland Sno Cone Cart is back! At Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe, the menu has seen several changes. Chocolate Cake, a side of Green Beans (NOOOOO!!!!!), the Barbecued Pork Bacon Cheeseburger, the Barbecued Pork Sandwich, the Falafel Burger, and the 1/2 Rotisserie Chicken have been removed. Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe Menu A Pulled Pork Platter, 6-Piece Chicken Nugget Meal, and that Sonny Eclipse Dessert (see our review here!) have been added. These changes seem a little imbalanced to us — and we know lots of you will miss the Rotisserie Chicken and Falafel Burger! I, personally, will dearly miss the green beans (they were SO GOOD!). Here’s hoping those guest favorites make it back on the menu after Spring Break. Cosmic Rays Starlight Cafe Menu Here’s that cute Sonny Eclipse Dessert! Sonny Eclipse Dessert The Cooling Station has added an All-Beef Hot Dog with Chips to its small menu, making it a convenient spot to grab a bite on the way to your next ride line!

Italian Cream Cake at Pinocchio Village House At Gaston’s Tavern, the Rose Cupcake has been removed from the menu. Gaston’s Tavern Menu Enchanted Rose Cupcake Guests can still get a Trio of Macarons, a Warm Cinnamon Roll, and a Chocolate Croissant to curb their sweet cravings here.

Cheshire Cat Menu Ham and Cheese Stuffed Pretzel And don’t forget you can grab one of our favorite snacks at Cheshire Cafe: the Cheshire Cat Tail! Cheshire Cat Tail Over in Frontierland the Liberty Square Turkey Leg Cart is open again!

With the Rose Gold Minnie Ears trend slowly slipping into our rearview (very, very slowly because we still love you, Rose Gold Unicorn Cupcake!), you knew it was only a matter of time before a new color trend emerged to fill the void. And that color, our Disney food loving friends, is Millennial Pink. We showed you the sweetly colored ears on DFB’s Instagram recently (where we gave away a couple pair!), and we still can not get enough of that puffy bow. Millennial Pink Minnie Ears But we knew — we allllll knew — Millennial Pink was about to get its hurrah as a Disney food. And now, thanks to the Disney Springs Instagram account, we know where to pick up two chocolate incarnations of this spring color! Head to The Ganachery where you can pick up two sweet Millennial Pink treats! The first treat is seriously impressive! They’re Millennial Pink Chocolate Ears, and they are so smooth… . The Ganachery Millennial Pink Chocolate Ears The second treat — a Pink-Berry Ganache Square — is a perfect little square of gourmet chocolate joy. The Ganchery Pink-Berry Ganache Square We love the pressed pink chocolate on the top, which reminds us of old timey wax seals. The Ganachery Pink-Berry Ganache Square Yup, it’s time to head to Disney Springs, people! Want to revisit the original Rose Gold Cupcake from Sunshine Seasons at Epcot?

As the popular Disney saying goes, “It all started with a mouse!” But for Instagrammers, the #DisneyWall trend all started with a wall – a purple wall to be exact, that sits to the right of the entrance into Tomorrowland. So many guests found the purple pigment of this wall to make an ideal Instagram background that the wall quickly earned its own hashtag – #purplewall – and became a sought-after photo stop for guests visiting the park. We’re happy to share today a first look at the “new” purple wall, which recently was enhanced with an updated purple color scheme. Get those apps ready!

One day is never enough to celebrate the moms in our lives. Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa celebrates moms for the whole month of May during Mahalo Mama Month. It’s our way to say “mahalo” – or thank you – to moms staying at Aulani! Here are a few ways to say mahalo to your mom: Get pampered at Laniwai Spa. Aulani Resort’s award-winning spa offers a special rejuvenating Mahalo Mama Spa Package, which includes a Lomilomi Massage (25 Minutes), Cinderella Facial (25 Minutes) and Yummy Mummy Organic Pedicure (50 Minutes). Prior to her treatments, she can spend time in the Kula Wai—the spa’s tranquil outdoor hydrotherapy garden—to unwind and relax. Mom will be glowing from head to toe! Wake up to breakfast in bed. Treat mom to a scrumptious breakfast brought right to her bedside. Aulani’s in-room dining chefs have created a special menu item: Hawaiian-style French Toast stuffed with chocolate and strawberries, topped with warm strawberry compote and whipped cream! Enjoy ‘ohana time. Every Sunday in May, create a Lei Poʻo (Head lei) and learn the art of Hula with mom at the Pau Hana Community Hall. Afterwards, head to Rainbow Reef, Aulani Resort’s private snorkel lagoon, and swim among the more than 1,000 tropical fish. Mom will get a 10 percent discount in May (either one day or length of stay access). Cherish Hawaiian vacation memories. While you are enjoying your time at Aulani Resort, be sure to capture those special memories on camera. Our team of Disney PhotoPass cast members are available throughout the resort and as a special offer in May, guests will receive 15% off Family Portrait Sessions! And over at the Pau Hana Community Hall, you can decorate photo frames and other mementos during arts and crafts time. Mom will love these one-of-a-kind keepsakes! How will you say mahalo to the moms in your life? View the full article

You are headed to the most magical place on earth. Resort reservations are made. Dining reservations are made, and every FastPass+ is secured. But what in the world should you pack? The Disney Parks Moms Panelists have been there and done that, and they have some great packing tips for your next Disney vacation. “I only pack 4-days worth of outfits for our family’s week-long Walt Disney World Resort vacations,” Ashley explained. “Mid-week, I use the laundry facilities at our resort hotel to get everyone’s laundry done, so those outfits can be worn again at the end of the week. The best part? The laundry room sends me a text when my laundry is finished, so I can be relaxing by the pool instead of waiting by a washing machine!” Don’t want to do laundry while on vacation? Then take the tip that several of our moms suggested, bring a pop-up laundry hamper or mesh laundry bag. “Bring a mesh laundry bag!” said Jacqui. “It’s such a hassle to keep dirty laundry tidy on vacation, much less have to determine what’s been worn and what hasn’t been when you’re all getting ready for the day. The easy to pack mesh bag keeps all the dirty clothes tidy. At the end of the trip, just toss the bag in your checked luggage!” Florida is known for warm temperatures and the occasional afternoon shower – which is why our panelists, including Lindsey P. – can’t stress the importance of sunscreen and rain gear enough. “Don’t forget to pack those ponchos! Clear, reusable Mickey Mouse ponchos can roll up into a backpack, pulling out handily when a Florida popup shower rains overhead. The ponchos can also double as a protector from the mighty waters of Splash Mountain so you can go about your day in dry shorts. You can pick new ponchos up at any merchandise register and use them all summer long!” And don’t forget the Ziploc bags, one of the most popular tips from our panelists! “If you’re traveling with little ones, bring a box of gallon-size zipper lock bags. They are great for packing diapers, underwear, and toiletries, but they are also awesome to have with you during your trip! You can use them to bring snacks with you during your theme park day and to hold wet swimsuits after a trip to the pool or water park,” Crystal explained. Other top tips included portable cell phone chargers, coordinating t-shirts, your favorite Mickey ears, hand wipes and even pennies and quarters to be pressed!

Just last week, we gave you a little sneak peek… Lunch Box Tarts at Woody’s Lunch Box ©Disney … but now we know what’s going to be tucked inside of Woody’s Lunch Box — the Quick Service location opening along with the rest of Toy Story Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios on June 30, 2018! Woody’s Lunch Box Concept Art©Disney We’ll be able to visit Andy’s lunch box, which has been turned on its side, propped with a thermos, and transformed into Woody’s Lunch Box soon! This spot — which will be appropriately sized to all of us “toys” visiting Toy Story Land — will serve hot sandwiches, sides, and desserts and specialty drinks. The focus is on classic comfort flavor combos, with a definite twist for more than a few of the items! Let’s have a look! Breakfast at Woody’s Lunch Box The S’more French Toast Breakfast Sandwich will feature chocolate ganache- and marshmallow-stuffed French toast topped with graham cracker crumbles, inspired by the popular campfire treat, of course. S’more French Toast Breakfast Sandwich ©Disney It’s all in the name with the Smoked Turkey, Eggs, Swiss, Peppers, and Onions on Sourdough. Smoked Turkey, Eggs, Swiss, Peppers and Onions on Sourdough ©Disney The Breakfast Bowl will include potato barrels (tots), brisket-country gravy, and scrambled eggs. (And I am ALL IN on this one!) Breakfast Bowl ©Disney Banana Split Yogurt Parfaits offer a lighter option to start a day of adventuring To Infinity… and Beyond!!! Banana Split Yogurt Parfait ©Disney These are made of banana-vanilla Greek yogurt with a bit of honey, fresh bananas, strawberries, and pineapple topped with granola and chocolate chips Lunch and Dinner at Woody’s Lunch Box The BBQ Brisket Melt we spotted the other day is officially confirmed! BBQ Brisket Melt ©Disney Consider this Texas-style smoked brisket with cheddar, Monterey Jack, pickles, and BBQ sauce on garlic butter-grilled sourdough as a nod to Woody. The Monte Cristo with Raspberry Jam pairs the sweetness of the jam with the savory ham, turkey, and Swiss, all grilled up together. (The last time Disney World saw a Monte Cristo on a counter-service menu was many moons ago in Magic Kingdom, so we’re eager to see if this is as much of a crowd pleaser as that one was! Of course nothing will top the Disneyland Monte Cristo!) Monte Cristo with Raspberry Jam ©Disney A fresh option (served cold) will be the Smoked Turkey, Tomato, and Lettuce on Multigrain Bread, topped with a creamy Dijonnaise. Smoked Turkey on Multigrain Bread ©Disney And lunch and dinner will have a bowl of its own… check out the Totchos, featuring potato barrels, corn chips, chili, and cheese (of the plastic variety, no less)!!! Totchos ©Disney Side options will include tomato basil soup, vegetable macaroni salad, and potato barrels. Side options ©Disney And — as the Official Snack Cheese of Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and Disney Cruise Line — Mini Babybel snack cheese will also be available to try with your meal or grab as a snack. Kids’ Menu at Woody’s Lunch Box Grilled Cheese or a Turkey Sandwich are options for the kiddos, served with potato barrels and mandarin oranges. Desserts at Woody’s Lunch Box Lunch Box Tarts will be one of the dessert options at Woody’s Lunch Box! Our initial suspicions have been confirmed, that one of the iced tart options will be topped with bacon: it’s the Hazelnut Lunch Box Tart garnished with Icing and Caramelized Bacon. Lunch Box Tarts at Woody’s Lunch Box ©Disney You can also order up the Raspberry Lunch Box Tart garnished with Icing and Dried Fruit and Chocolate. Specialty Drinks and Souvenir Cup at Woody’s Lunch Box The promised Soda Floats will pair ice cream poured over with your choice of a bubbly beverage. Soda Floats ©Disney And the signature Mystic Portal Punch — Powerade Mountain Berry Blast with flavors of lemon-lime and tangerine — will be available with or without the Alien Sipper (or you can fill the sipper with the fountain beverage of your choice). Mystic Portal Punch and Alien Sipper Watch out for THE CLAW!!! Finally, the bigger toys in your group (age 21 and over) can choose from beer, hard cider, and the Grown-Up’s Lemonade cocktail: cherry vodka, Odwalla Lemonade, and black cherry purée. We’ll be keeping an eye out for the full menu with prices, but Disney has confirmed on their website that Woody’s Lunch Box will accept the Disney Dining Plan.
