The Epcot International Festival of the Arts is back, with a wide swath of disciplines gathering. It remains a very visual event, but it’s also designed to entertain ears and taste buds. Returning to the theme park are sets of Broadway singers, the walk-in works of art, behind-the-scenes exhibits and creative cuisine served up at two dozen outlets. (One or two have Skittles products, which, we must admit, are colorful choices.) This fest, which debuted at Walt Disney World in 2017, is included with regular Epcot admission. It runs from Jan. 16 through Feb. 23. CommuniCore encore For the second year, “Once Upon a Stage: The Magic of Disney on Broadway” exhibit is set up inside CommuniCore Hall. Props and costumes from “The Lion King,” “Aladdin” and “Beauty and the Beast” are featured. “The focus really is for that walkthrough experience to be more of that behind-the-scenes aspects of our Broadway productions, and kind of getting that real peek behind the curtain, so to speak,” said Christopher Revetria, a producer with Disney Live Entertainment. “There’s going to be an exceptionally exciting element from ‘Aladdin’ that will be outdoors, actually, not within the space, that I think guests are really going to engage with,” Revetria said without being a spoiler. Also outdoors and nearby are musical acts on the CommuniCore Plaza stage. Among the instruments in use are violin, guitar, ukulele, sitar and saxophone. Returning are Benoit Lajeunesse and Don Black, and “we’re excited to be incorporating some new talent this year on that stage,” Revetria said. Jelani Remy, who played Simba in "The Lion King," will perform in the Epcot concert series. (Courtesy Joan Marcus) Broadway bunch A dozen actors are scheduled to appear in the Disney on Broadway concert series at America Gardens Theatre. That includes six newbies to the event. Newcomers are Isabelle McCalla (“Aladdin”), Sierra Boggess (“The Little Mermaid”), Anastacia McCleskey (“Tarzan”), Ainsley Melham (“Aladdin”), James Monroe Iglehart (“Aladdin”) and Susan Egan (“Beauty and the Beast.”) The six festival veterans include Kissy Simmons (“The Lion King”), Josh Strickland (“Tarzan”), Ashley Brown (“Mary Poppins”), Mandy Gonzalez (“Aida”), Adam Jacobs (“Aladdin”) and Jelani Remy (“The Lion King”). Jacobs and McCalla kick off the lineup Friday. Showtimes each day are 5:30 p.m., 6:45 p.m. and 8 p.m. Food front The 2026 festival menu has 56 edible items, 30 of which are listed as new to the fest. Among the fresh options are Nashville hot chicken sandwich (sold at Connections Eatery) and steakhouse lobster Caesar salad (Artist’s Table). It’s also fun to say Plate of Impossible Bites, which is listed as roasted turkey breast, onion and bacon custard tart, cherry gel, brown butter toast milk foam and pineapple-toffee butter. It’s sold at the Fictional Victuals kiosk near the Disney Traders store. On the sweet side are deconstructed key lime pie (from Deconstructed Dish near Test Track) and color scheme cake — one that uses Skittles Pop’d, a freeze-dried candy — from Figment’s Inspiration Station within the Odyssey. On the beverage menu, there are 71 items, 27 of them new to the arts fest. Among them are a matcharita (from El Artista Hambriento in Epcot’s Mexico) and the nonalcoholic “grapey apple boba” from Goshiki in Japan. In the cards Disney Lorcana, a trading card game, is making its Epcot arts fest debut. In non-theme park play, the game revolves around Illumineers, glimmers, inklands, a lorebook and other buzzwords and actions that are important to players. It’s built upon Disney characters and locations. During the festival, participants get questbooks on the bridge to World Showcase and follow instructions to collect four specific (but “larger-than-life”) cards. This leads to three specific collectible cards: Rapunzel as an appreciative artist, Donald Duck being a pie-slinger and Stitch in rock star mode. Their roles represent the arts. Certainly the cards are imaginative. The Lorcana website refers to them as “mini masterpieces.” Also on the bridge to World Showcase is a new photo op based on a Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse card from the game’s “Fabled” set. Festival of the Arts participants can help create group murals during the Epcot event, which returns Friday. (Courtesy Walt Disney Co.) Return engagements Many of the arts fest staples are again on hand at Epcot. Displays of artist wares, available for purchase, ring World Showcase and seep into other parts of the park. There are meet and greet opportunities with real, live human artists, Also back are chalk art experiences – both on the ground and on buildings – plus paint-by-number group murals and a Figment-based scavenger hunt. Animation Academy, where visitors learn to draw a character from a featured artist, is held at America Gardens Theatre at 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. daily. There will be seven Artful Photo Ops, those 3-D re-creations of famed artwork designed to insert visitors into the scene. Email me at dbevil@orlandosentinel.com. BlueSky: @themeparksdb.

The Seas with Nemo & Friends at EPCOT Celebrates 40 Years
Disney4me posted a topic in Disney Connect
For 40 years, guests at EPCOT have been diving into a world where curiosity runs as deep as the ocean. Today, The Seas with Nemo & Friends celebrates four decades of inspiring explorers to discover the wonders beneath the waves. Let’s dive in and explore this incredible journey! The Past: How It All Began Originally opened as The Living Seas on Jan. 15, 1986, the pavilion offered more than just an aquarium — it was an immersive journey into ocean exploration. Guests began their adventure by boarding hydrolators, which created the sensation of traveling beneath the waves to Seabase Alpha, a futuristic undersea research center. Here, the experience unfolded through interactive exhibits and hands-on learning opportunities that made the mysteries of the deep accessible to everyone. Tom, Animal Policy & Content Director for Disney’s Animals, Science and Environment, who helped open The Living Seas, explained that the goal was to transport guests to the ocean floor so they could experience marine research firsthand. “With no large aquariums like this at the time, we had to be creative in engaging guests,” Tom said. “It paid off — we were inspired by the vision to create something as beautiful as the ocean.” Did you know the pavilion featured the largest indoor saltwater environment in North America when it first opened? And today, it’s still among the largest aquariums! Creating this incredible space wasn’t easy – it took teamwork, creativity, and a whole lot of commitment. In fact, the early development pushed the boundaries of innovation, leading to breakthroughs in filtration systems, habitat design, and even a custom-made saltwater mix. The pavilion introduced incredible innovations like reverse-flow filtration that recycled 5.7 million gallons of water and curved acrylic windows offering breathtaking underwater views. And it didn’t stop there: a pioneering closed-loop water system set a new benchmark for sustainable practices that influenced aquariums around the world. In 2004, Turtle Talk with Crush made a splash, giving guests a fun, interactive way to connect with the ocean. Then in 2007, The Living Seas transformed into The Seas with Nemo & Friends — the name guests know and love today — bringing beloved characters and iconic Disney storytelling to the experience. The Present: Innovation in Animal Care and Conservation Today, the pavilion is home to over 2,000 animals, 90 marine species and a team of dedicated cast members, including veterinarians, nutritionists, educators, aquarists, divers and many more. Every day brings something new — whether it’s stingray feedings, surgery on a tiny fish, sea turtle training or efforts with cuttlefish that’s helping advance marine care and conservation around the globe. “All animals at Walt Disney World receive the highest standard of care,” said Dee, an animal care manager at The Seas. “Surgical procedures in fish or sharks are uncommon and often require innovative approaches. We are fortunate to have exceptional resources and a highly dedicated team that enables us to achieve outcomes that might otherwise seem impossible. No two days are the same, and I am continually learning from both my colleagues and the animals in our care.” The Seas plays a vital role in manatee conservation by providing short-term critical care to these gentle giants. Disney is one of several facilities nationwide participating in the Manatee Rescue & Rehabilitation Partnership (MRP) — a cooperative effort focused on rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing manatees back into the wild. Fun fact: Disney has successfully rehabilitated and released 30 manatees! And more than 350 sea turtles have made their way to Walt Disney World — and back into the big blue! Rehabilitating and releasing sick and injured sea turtles is something Disney has long supported for years, and it’s not just vital for the species — it’s incredibly rewarding for cast members who are passionate about these animals. From the magic of The Seas with Nemo & Friends to the wonders of the real ocean… Beyond Florida, Disney scientists and researchers are working hard to give coral a second chance at life. Their efforts stretch far beyond EPCOT, reaching into the actual sea where innovation and conservation meet to protect fragile ecosystems. As part of Disney’s ongoing commitment to protect the natural beauty of The Bahamas, the team focuses on outplanting coral fragments — helping them grow and create new habitats for fish and other marine species. It’s all about restoring balance and ensuring these vibrant ecosystems thrive for generations to come. The Disney Conservation Fund is celebrating 30 years of making a difference — with an incredible $132 million invested in wildlife and global conservation efforts! Of that, $24 million has gone directly to projects protecting marine species like manatees, sea turtles, and coral. The Future: Inspiring the Next Generation As EPCOT continues to transform, The Seas stays true to its mission – connecting guests to the ocean and advancing animal care. “When guests connect with these animals, something amazing happens – they start caring about how to protect them,” said Dr. Geoff, animal operations director at The Seas. “We’re impacting the next generation, and they’re the ones who will help us save our oceans. It all begins with a moment of wonder right here at Disney.” A Pavilion with a Legacy as Deep as the Ocean From its start as an engineering marvel to its role today as a leader in animal care and conservation, The Seas with Nemo & Friends has always carried EPCOT’s spirit of curiosity and connection. Here’s to 40 years of marine magic and unforgettable moments under The Seas! Interested in learning more about Disney’s Animals, Science and Environment team?

Alright, Annual Passholders, the whole reason you got your Disney World pass is finally happening. A new, free Passholder magnet is dropping soon! Annual Passholder magnet Okay, so you probably bought your pass to go to Disney World anytime you want, but getting a free magnet is also pretty awesome. It’s kinda like a Passholder right of passage! Disney is starting to hint at a new one, and we have a sneak peek. Disney posted this to the Passholder Buzz (the Annual Passholder section of the Walt Disney World app) that says “Sleuthing Gone Wild” along with “We have unidentified suspects on the dance floor. Have a hunch who it could be?” Of course, it had silhouettes of Zootopia characters. ©Disney Magnets are released a few times throughout the year for a limited amount of time (usually about a month or two), and lately, we’ve been able to pick up our magnets in Animal Kingdom. Considering the new Zootopia: Better Zoogether show started in the Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom, it’s likely we’ll be able to pick up our magnet here. Zootopia: Better Zoogether So we think it’s Zootopia themed, but who will be on it? Judy Hopps? Nick Wilde? Both of them? Maybe Gary the Snake from Zootopia 2, which recently came to theaters (and hey Disney, when is it coming to Disney+? Please and thank you!). ©Disney Some magnets that have been released lately have been Crush, Stitch, Timon and Pumbaa, Hei Hei, and Maleficent. You also get a Minnie and Mickey magnet when you first get your pass, and if you’ve never received one, you can contact Annual Passholder Services through the Disney World website, which can help answer any questions about them. Sometimes, they send a holiday gift, and for 2025, it was a wall calendar! 2026 Annual Passholder Calendar We’re pretty excited for our new magnet, and in the meantime, make sure you keep following Disney Food Blog for all the up-to-date Disney World information you need in your life.

The next time you visit the AMC DINE-IN Disney Springs 24, keep in mind that you’re walking in the footsteps of Disney Legends, Imagineers, and Disneyland Handcrafted director, Leslie Iwerks. Via rare archival footage, the new documentary explores the days leading up to the opening of Disneyland in 1955, revealing the pressure of tight deadlines and the hands-on hard work it took to bring The Happiest Place on Earth to life. Disney Parks Blog caught up with Leslie, cast, and Disney Imagineers at the special-advanced screening to hear what they thought of the film. The Stars Arrive at Disney Springs Yesterday, a red carpet sprouted between theaters two and three, inviting a crowd of cast members and media, all buzzing to view Disneyland Handcrafted for the first time. Tuesday afternoon movie-goers shuffled by curiously and asked us more than a few times about what was happening in the typically quiet hallway. Old friends were greeted, laughs shared, stories swapped, and popcorn grabbed at the door. Creators and Imagineers alike posed for photos against a Disneyland Handcrafted backdrop, Leslie Iwerks may have pulled out the disembodied hand of Abraham Lincoln at some point, and our team was ready to capture the excitement before and after the show. Fresh off the heels of a star-studded Burbank premiere of Disneyland Handcrafted last week the excitement continued here at Walt Disney World. This special screening focused on sharing Walt’s vision with cast members, famous for enhancing the guest experience every day. Former and current representatives of the Disney Ambassadors, Imagineers, cast members, Leslie, and even a couple original 1955 Disneyland cast members, Tom Nabbe and Bill Hoelscher. Imagineers and Anticipation Before the Premiere So what else can be said about the grand opening of Disneyland? What haven’t we seen in the past 70 years? Those are the questions that Imagineer, Diego Parras, was looking forward to finding out ahead of watching the film. Diego previously worked with Leslie Iwerks on The Imagineering Story, a six-part docuseries that takes the viewer behind the curtains of Walt Disney Imagineering and the creation of Disney theme parks and attractions around the world. “Leslie is a master storyteller,” said Diego. “I can’t wait to see how she visually put together all these incredible stories that we’ve heard for years from our Disney legends.” He’s not the only Imagineer thrilled to see specific moments come to life. Imagineer Ash Brannon shared that he’s ready to see the birth of his favorite attraction. You might know which one that is based on this infamous quote: “And if you look to your left, you’ll see the backside of water.” If you guessed The Jungle Cruise, you’re correct. This beloved attraction is a favorite for many like Ash due to the comedic moments and unique atmosphere – and it’s one of many milestones that was accomplished within 12 months. A Standing Ovation As the film concluded and the lights slowly turned on, a crowd rose with cheers and happy tears as they began to applaud Leslie’s film. Leslie is the granddaughter of Ub Iwerks, Disney Legend and co-creator of Mickey Mouse, and daughter of Disney Legend, Don Iwerks. Following in the creative family footsteps, Leslie is an Oscar- and Emmy-nominated documentary director and producer. The crowd was eager to hear from Leslie and Michael Hundgen, Portfolio Executive Creative Producer at Walt Disney Imagineering during a Q&A session in the theater. Disney Ambassadors React to Disneyland Handcrafted Leslie was excited to see the cast be so moved by the film, “The fact that it just took such hard work on Walt’s behalf to risk everything and for everybody to mobilize around his singular vision to pull off the impossible. Everyone continues that DNA; they continue everything that he put in place on that dirt plot. And [cast members] continue the magic every day.” The very first Walt Disney World Ambassador, Debby Dane Browne came out of the theater with big feels about how the film captured the creation of Disneyland, “I was brought to tears about five times, it was so sweet! I hadn’t seen most of that footage.” Debby said the film reminded her of when she was hired as a Walt Disney World cast member in 1969 (before becoming the first Ambassador in 1970). As part of the Walt Disney World Preview Center, she was here for the very beginnings of Magic Kingdom, “It was just mud and big equipment … seeing Walt Disney World from scratch and then seeing [Disneyland Handcrafted]; it really got me so emotional.” We also caught up Michael Collier, former 2006 Walt Disney World Ambassador, who told Disney Parks Blog how he enjoyed the niche moments and surprises for even the most seasoned cast members, “As an Ambassador, we get the chance to hear lots of Disneyland stories. Those that cast members have heard, or Disney fans have heard. But this took us to some of the backstories of the backstories.” Shannon Smith-Conrad, former 2024-2025 Walt Disney World Ambassador said she got chills as she chatted about the film, “If you’re looking for a dose of motivation and inspiration to chase after your dreams, you have to watch Disneyland Handcrafted.” We spotted Kylee Withers and Phelicia Blake near the red carpet — who currently represent Walt Disney World cast members as part of the Ambassador team. Like the Ambassadors that came before them, Kylee and Phelicia shared the same emotion (and admittedly, a few tears). Phelicia reflected on the legacy of Disneyland, “Just to see where we all started, to where we are now. It was amazing to see. There were times where I was trying not to cry, honestly, because it was so honest and vulnerable.” And Kylee connected with the cast members on screen, “I love the title, ‘Disneyland Handcrafted,’ because this film really is a testament to how much Disneyland truly was a labor of love, and I think seeing this footage for the first time, you realize it’s handmade. Every single thing was a person that believed in what Walt Disney believed in to make that dream a reality.” How to Watch Disneyland Handcrafted Time to begin your countdown! We are only a few days away from Disneyland Handcrafted debuting on Disney+ and Disney YouTube. So, grab your friends and gather around the TV on January 22 to tune into this emotional look at the year-long creation of Disneyland in this uplifting tale that shows any dream is possible with a little magic and determination.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has added two members to the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD): Matt Ravenscroft and David Woods. ©Governor Ron DeSantis Website The duo marks the governor’s latest appointees to the board, which he essentially created in 2023 as a renamed replacement for the Reedy Creek Improvement District as part of a political battle with Disney stemming from culture war issues. Ravenscroft and Woods bring varied experiences to their new board positions. Ravenscroft is the Executive Vice President and Director of Sunrise Bank in Orlando. Previously, he served as a Senior Vice President of Old Florida Bank, United Heritage Bank, and Citrus Bank. Ravenscroft attended the University of Central Florida and earned his associate’s degree from Valencia College. Woods is an attorney at Woods & Woods, P.A., working in real estate, wills, trusts, and estates. He earned his bachelor’s degree in communication and media studies from Florida State University and his juris doctor from St. Thomas University. ©Central Florida Tourism Oversight District According to the board, which is currently led by DeSantis’ former Senior Advisor and the Director of Legislative Affairs Stephanie Kopelousos, its purpose is to “support and administer certain aspects of the economic development and tourism within District boundaries.” This includes the responsibility of overseeing “land use and environmental protections within the District, and provide essential public services (e.g. fire protection, emergency medical services, potable water production, treatment, storage, pumping & distribution, reclaimed water distribution, chilled water systems, wastewater services, drainage and flood control, electric power generation & distribution, and solid waste and recyclables collection & disposal) and operate and maintain all public roadways & bridges.” Driving to Disney World Ron DeSantis has appointed two new members to the Florida Tourism Oversight District, which oversees the special district where Disney World resides.

It’s hard to believe that 70 years old, one man’s dream became a theme park that eventually launched theme parks all across the world. But that’s exactly what Walt Disney did when he dreamed up Disneyland and created The Happiest Place on Earth, even against all odds. ©Disney Now, we’ve learned a lot from shows like The Imagineering Story about how Disneyland and its rides were created, but a brand new documentary about the creation of Disneyland, Disneyland Handcrafted, goes even deeper with “the sights, sounds, and first-hand accounts” of those who helped create this iconic OG Disney theme park. Well, we got some NEW details about that documentary recently at a media event. Disneyland Handcrafted takes a brand-new look at Disneyland’s creation. The movie uses archival footage and soundbites to give a “fly-on-the-wall perspective” of what it was like on the ground while Disneyland was being built. Disneyland Handcrafted At the media event, Disneyland Handcrafted director Leslie Iwerks, granddaughter of Disney Legend Ub Iwerks, talked about the film. One of the first things we learned is that much of the footage that was found didn’t have sound, so they had to add sound back in. Fortunately, when Disney made The Imagineering Story, it had a lot of those sound effects, etc., so the filmmakers borrowed from that. Leslie Iwerks The idea of the documentary is that the footage you’ll see is day-to-day footage of the people who were there as Disneyland was being created, so that viewers can live through the cameramen who were filming it at the time. One of the most surprising things when watching the documentary is that this is all old footage because it feels like you’re watching a movie that was put together with different angles and shots. ©Disney There’s also a really great soundbite in the film that Iwerks says is the most impactful piece. It’s where Walt explains that he has little regard for money, but also has plenty of regard for money, and how some people think money is to be stored up in big piles somewhere, but he always thought that it was meant for one thing: doing things. Doing things like building Disneyland. ©Disney You see, Walt was throwing something at an idea knowing that it could bankrupt him, and he worried about it. But you know what? He did it anyway despite being told by many people that it would never work. Well, joke’s on them 70 years later because Disneyland and Disney World are going strong, and Disney theme parks have been built around the world. ©Disney However, Walt didn’t deny that building Disneyland and opening it on time was a miracle, as you can see in this clip from the film.

Guys, this is NOT a drill! One of our favorite Disney Springs spots, Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew, just released a NEW limited-edition donut. To celebrate their 5th anniversary at Springs, they just launched this Disney World exclusive. It was the breakfast of our dreams! Everglazed’s Blueberry Pop-Tart Donut The Blueberry Pop-Tart Donut is $6.95. It starts with Everglazed’s signature glazed donut – a pillowy soft donut with a sweet hardened glaze. Then it’s topped with a white icing and rainbow sprinkles that are reminiscent of our favorite childhood breakfast. Piped on top is a blueberry-flavored buttercream frosting (which tastes exactly like the inside of a Pop-Tart!) that’s supporting whole blueberry Pop-Tart pieces. Then stuffed in the middle is a tart blueberry jam that evens out the sweetness. We’d recommend this donut to anyone who loves a good old-fashioned Pop-Tart. Everglazed’s Blueberry Pop-Tart Donut They really nailed the flavor with this one — it really tasted just like a Blueberry Pop-Tart! The jelly inside was SO good, and the blueberry flavor was intense. The donut itself was fluffy and fresh, and the blueberry buttercream frosting was a nice, creamy addition to the whole thing. Plus, how can you beat the Pop-Tarts on top?! If you need another reason to check out Everglazed, we love their chicken tenders – get a chicken and donut meal to have your own chicken donut sandwich with fries for the perfect brunch. For drinks, they make juicy refreshers and fun flavored cold brews. And if you’re feeling a plain Jane donut, we love their chocolate and strawberry frosted options. They have something for everyone! Need! Them! All! Everglazed is hidden in the back of Disney Springs – find it on Disney Springs’ West Side, nestled between Splitsville and AMC Theaters; it’s down the alley towards the Orange Garage entrance. Everglazed is known for its limited-edition flavors. Recently, we’ve loved their lemon-glazed donut and their holiday 6-pack. They’re always coming out with can’t-miss sweet treats, so stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for their next new donut! Check out our review of their permanent menu!

Oh, the times they are a-changin’ over at Southwest Airlines, and passengers are paying more as a result. ©Southwest Airlines Starting on January 27th, 2026, Southwest is installing yet ANOTHER controversial protocol change after a year of questionable beloved feature removals. If you’re out of the loop but looking to fly with Southwest in the near future — or beyond — there are a couple of perks that were once free that will now cost you extra. Here’s everything you need to know… Let’s start with the most recent change. After more than 50 years of an open seating/first-come-first-served seating policy that rewards earlier boarding (which wasn’t completely based on fare pricing), Southwest Airlines is completely changing its protocol by whipping out a new boarding system on January 27th that is more the norm — replacing open seating with numbered seating instead. ©Southwest This massive change makes Southwest operate more like its competitors, especially with its new tiered seating options. Most folks will opt for the new Standard Seats — seats that don’t cost extra, but offer standard legroom and are mostly behind the exit rows. ©Southwest However, in an effort to maximize profits, Southwest is currently offering upgraded seats, including Preferred Seats near the front of the cabin and Extra Legroom Seats — which offer a “roomier experience with more legroom to stretch out, at the front of the cabin and near the exit rows, with up to five additional inches of extra legroom compared to Standard and Preferred seats,” according to Southwest. ©Southwest These new seat options are offered in fare bundles. They are as follows: Basic Bundle Standard seat Board last (unless you pay extra for Priority Boarding) 2X fare on Rapid Rewards points Flight credits expire after 6 months and are non-transferable Can only be refunded with a non-transferable Flight Credit Flight changes can only be made for a fare upgrade fee No cancel fees Free in-flight entertainment Southwest Cabin Choice Bundle Standard seat General boarding (unless you pay extra for Priority Boarding) 6X fare on Rapid Rewards points Flight credits expire after 12 months (transferable) Flight change fees may apply No cancel fees Free Same-day standby Free Same-day change Free in-flight entertainment ©Southwest Choice Preferred Bundle A Preferred or Standard seat you select at booking Early General boarding (unless you pay extra for Priority Boarding) 10X fare on Rapid Rewards points Flight credits expire after 12 months (transferable) Flight is refundable Flight change fees may apply No cancel fees Free Same-day standby Free Same-day change EarlyBird Check-in Free in-flight entertainment Priority Lane and Express Lane ©Southwest Airlines Choice Extra Bundle Any seat you’d like onboard, booked ahead of your flight Early boarding (Priority Boarding costs extra) 2 free checked bags 14X fare on Rapid Rewards points Flight credits expire after 12 months (transferable) Flight is refundable Flight change fees may apply No cancel fees Free Same-day standby Free Same-day change Priority Boarding, A1-A15 Free in-flight entertainment Priority Lane and Express Lane Premium Drink ©Southwest Costs between bundles will vary based on destination, flight length, airport, booking date, flight demand, and other factors. With that said, if you deviate from Standard Seating, you could easily add $30-$150 to your fare. To get an idea of costs, we tested out the bundles for a flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Orlando (MCO) — to stay within the Disney spirit — and came away with the following conclusions (for one specific flight): Basic costs nothing extra, Choice costs $35 to $50 extra, Choice Preferred costs $75 to $100 extra, Extra Legroom added on to Basic costs $60 to $100 extra, and Choice Extra costs $100 to $200 more. ©Southwest With that in mind, A-List/Southwest credit card members could still get free seat selection or the ability to upgrade into premium seating without paying extra upfront, depending on membership status. Premium Seating on ©Southwest Airlines But now it’s time to talk about the perk change that NOBODY liked. In 2025, Southwest got rid of its “First 2 Bags Fly Free” perk, and now ONLY Rapid Rewards A-List Preferred Members and customers traveling on Business Select fares receive two free checked bags. A-List Members and other select passengers receive one free checked bag, and Southwest credits one checked bag for Rapid Rewards Credit Cardmembers. Traveling soon? As for everyone else? Regular passengers are now charged $35 for the first checked bag, $45 for the second checked bag, and $150 for the third and subsequent bags. No matter the circumstance, all bags must still adhere to the 50 lbs/62″ limitations. Southwest Airlines at John Wayne International Airport These changes are still jarring, to be completely honest. But we’ll be flying with Southwest in the future to see how these perks — or lackthereof — translate and affect the travel experience.

So why is this call so important for Disney fans? Well, first, the call comes with the Disney earnings report, showing how Disney did for the first quarter of 2026. That means we get to see how many people are spending money in the theme parks, paying theaters to see Disney movies, subscribing to Disney+ and other streaming services, and more. ©Disney However, that’s not the only thing we learn about during these calls. We also learn what the company has to say about its various departments, including possibly giving some updates about current projects, including theme park projects (like that Villains Land in Magic Kingdom), future movies, plans for streaming, and more.

Disney World is known for its DOLE Whips, from classic flavors like pineapple to more adventurous seasonal flavors that rotate often. So when we were in EPCOT yesterday, we were so excited to see that they added a different DOLE Whip flavor! Yum! Refreshment Outpost in the World Showcase offers both permanent menu items and rotating festival sweet treats. EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts begins January 16th, and while we can’t wait for all the new goodies, we’re pretty sure this DOLE Whip will be taken over by a festival offering at the end of this week. The Raspberry Pineapple DOLE Whip Swirl was $6.29. The combination of classic pineapple and limited edition raspberry was complementary and refreshing. It’s the same creamy, fruity DOLE whip you know and love with a fun new twist. The waffle cone it was served in is your average waffle cone, and it stayed nice and crunchy even after our photo session. Isn’t she a beaut? The raspberry flavor isn’t new – it often pops up between EPCOT’s festival seasons – but to our knowledge, this is the first time it’s been served as a swirl offering with pineapple. This also isn’t an official menu item. We suspect that they rotate flavors between festivals to prevent product waste and keep things interesting. After all, we’re interested! Delicious We’d recommend this DOLE Whip to any dessert fan, but if you love DOLE Whips like we do, raspberry is a rare flavor that isn’t offered too often. It used to be offered at Magic Kingdom and the Polynesian Resort, but raspberry has been discontinued at most locations and is now almost exclusively offered during EPCOT festivals. We last saw the raspberry flavor at Refreshment Outpost’s Festival of the Holidays menu, but they were unable to swirl it with another DOLE Whip flavor at the time. We’re addicted to this new twist on a classic! Want even MORE new DOLE Whips? Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox! Click here to Subscribe! WE KNOW DISNEY.

Here at Disney Food Blog, we love Bluey. What’s not to like about the cutest Australian blue heeler? And now that she’s coming to Disney, we can write about her all we want! (Just kidding… unless?) ©Bluey We’ve been longtime Bluey fans and have covered (more like stalked) the latest Bluey merchandise and news for our amazing, just as Bluey-obsessed readers. So imagine our surprise when a new Bluey popsicle was released! Here’s everything you need to know. Bluey has a new frozen confection bar by Popsicle, the makers of nostalgic SpongeBob and Spider-Man frozen treats. It’s a mixed berry flavor of strawberry and blueberry that comes from natural sources. They’re perfect for every Bluey fan, since they’re only 50 calories and 6 grams of sugar per pop. Bluey Popsicle box You can find Bluey Popsicles at most major retailers – they can be found at Walmart, Target, and Kroger. While they haven’t hit stores in our area just yet, Popsicle’s other cartoon character frozen bars retail around $6 a box. That’s about $1 a popsicle! ©Disney In other Bluey news, our favorite pups have been added to the Disney Wonder sailings for an exclusive meet-and-greet on Australian routes. Disney recently announced their plan to add Bluey to the West Coast at Disneyland, where guests can experience “Bluey’s Best Day Ever!“, an exclusive interactive show starting March 22nd, 2026, at the Fantasyland Theater. In addition to the show, there will also be meet-and-greets and themed food at the Troubadour Tavern next door. ©Disney On the East Coast, Bluey will be moving into the Conservation Station at Animal Kingdom. There’ll be meet-and-greets with Bluey and Bingo, in addition to games and dance parties hosted by them! Disney announced a release date of summer 2026, but we predict it will begin in late May or early June. Now we’re just curious if you’ll be able to eat a Bluey popsicle while meeting her?

I was not prepared for how good this new savory snack at Disney World would be. Le Bete de Crepe or The Beast Crepe There are EPCOT snacks…and then there are EPCOT snacks that make you stop walking, stop talking, and immediately plan your next bite. A new savory snack in EPCOT falls firmly into the second category. Tucked away in the France Pavilion, this galette surprised us in the best possible way, and we’re still thinking about it long after leaving! If you’re heading to EPCOT anytime soon and you love savory snacks, I need you to put La Bête de Crêpe (or the Beast Crêpe) at the top of your list, because this might be one of the best things we’ve eaten in the France Pavilion lately! The Beast Crepe You’ll find it at Crêpes À Emporter by La Crêperie de Paris (the quick service window offering up some of the most delicious sweet and savory snacks in all of Disney World) for $15.95, and honestly, it’s worth stopping for even if the line looks intimidating. This is a savory galette, and it’s filled with cheese, mushrooms, ham, and arugula — BUT the way these flavors come together is what makes it special! Crêpes à Emporter Let’s talk about the real star of the show first: the cheese. There’s a layer of cheese that gets baked right onto the top of the galette, creating this super crunchy, tangy crust that adds the most satisfying texture with every bite. It’s the kind of crunch you don’t expect, and once you notice it, you can’t stop thinking about it. Absolute perfection. Peek inside! Inside, the galette is warm, hearty, and rich without being too heavy. The mushrooms are used just enough to add that deep, savory umami flavor that balances out all the cheese. If you’re someone who’s sometimes on the fence about mushrooms, don’t worry, these don’t overpower the dish at all. They just quietly make everything taste better. The ham adds another layer of savory goodness, and then the peppery arugula comes in at the end to brighten everything up and cut through the richness. That little bit of freshness is exactly what this dish needs. A pinch of the crepe And can we talk about the size? This thing is huge!! Like, genuinely big enough to share (though we wouldn’t judge you at all if you didn’t want to.) It’s filling, comforting, and feels more like a meal than a snack, which is honestly a win when you’re spending a full day walking around World Showcase. A forkful! La Bête de Crêpe is one of those items that makes you pause mid-bite and go, “Wow, this is REALLY good.” If you’re craving something savory, warm, and packed with flavor, this galette is a must-order. Trust us — this is one EPCOT snack you’ll be thinking about long after your trip ends. Working up an appetite just thinking about this new Disney World snack?

So much is happening throughout Disney World that it’s hard to keep track of. There’s construction going on in three of the resort’s four theme parks, and several hotels also have some construction going on with new lobbies, room updates, and more. Disney’s Beach Club Well, we’ve got even MORE closures to add to the Disney World construction list. Two pools at two Disney World deluxe resorts will soon close for refurbishment. Let’s start over at Disney’s Beach Club Resort. Now, don’t worry…Stormalong Bay is open, and it looks like it won’t be closing anytime soon. However, if you want a quieter pool experience at this resort, you might consider spending time at the Tidal leisure pool. But the Tidal leisure pool will be closing from mid-January through early May for routine maintenance. That means that you will probably see and hear general construction in that vicinity of the resort during daytime hours. The good news is that dining and resort amenities will remain the same. Stormalong Bay and other pools will remain open Note that Disney’s Beach Club Resort is also undergoing some exterior maintenance through late 2026, so you’ll have to deal with that construction, too. This will impact some views at the resort and may mean you have to take different paths to get around Beach Club. Construction at the Beach Club Over at Disney’s Old Key West Resort, the Turtle Pond Pool, Turtle Pond Pool Spa, the BBQ area, and the playground will be closed from early January through early February 2026 for routine maintenance.

When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle-of-the-road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well. Connections Eatery We recently stopped by Connections Eatery at EPCOT to try a plant-based option, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here! We picked up the General Tso’s Tofu Salad from Connections Eatery for $12.49. This is made with a Petite Kale Blend, Romaine, Broccoli Slaw, Red Bell Pepper, Mandarin Oranges, Edamame, Crispy Wontons, Warm Fried Tofu, and General Tso’s Dressing. General Tso’s Tofu Salad This is an unbelievable offering for a quick-service restaurant. Everything about it — the ingredients, the quality of those ingredients, and the sophistication of the flavor — feels elevated while still being irresistible to what I think will be a very wide range of eaters. This is a real ten out of ten! The salad comes already dressed, and the dressing is evenly distributed throughout. The tofu cubes are crispy on the outside but bouncy on the inside, almost like paneer. They’re somehow perfectly soaked in the General Tso’s dressing while still staying crisp, which honestly feels a little magical. A TON of flavor There’s sweetness in the dressing, but you also get bright hits of sweetness from the mandarin orange slices. The crispy wontons hold up despite being dressed. We never actually saw the broccoli slaw, though we did see fine strips of carrot; we didn’t see or taste the broccoli distinctly. The edamame was also hard to find at first, and the bell peppers were cut so small that we initially thought they weren’t included. We also got a bite of crispy wonton on its own that was extremely salty — a little shocking on its own. That said, the good news is that once everything is mixed together, it’s perfect. The flavors balance out completely. A really great plant-based option! In the meantime, we’ll be on the lookout for more restaurant updates from Disney World and beyond.

Disney has announced that on April 29th, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is changing in a MAJOR way, ushering in a “new point in the Star Wars saga like never before.” They’re rolling back the timeline several decades to include characters and storylines from The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Mandalorian, and Ahsoka. Here’s everything we know! Batuu is CHANGING These updates will mean that we’ll get to experience the Galactic Civil War and New Republic, along with the Age of the Resistance and the First Order.

You can expect to see Leia near the Millennium Falcon, recruiting travelers and locals to help keep Luke safe. Luke will roam the outpost in his quest for knowledge of the Force and artifacts related to lightsaber building, kyber crystals, and more.

In addition, the Disney Visa meet-and-greet that was formerly home to Darth Vader will now be home to Kylo Ren! Kylo Ren Music Updates Batuu will start to sound a bit different, too. The addition of beloved scores from the iconic composer John Williams will make its way to Galaxy’s Edge. The “Main Title” and “Force Theme” will beckon you to a galaxy far, far away. As you wander through the land, you’ll hear motifs from other classic tracks, including “Han Solo and the Princess,” “The Desert and the Robot Auction,” “The Emperor,” and more. Galaxy’s Edge And of course, the lively tune “Cantina Band” will be heard from within Oga’s Cantina. In the era of the Galactic Civil War, proprietor Oga Garra only recently opened this watering hole, which is already becoming a popular spot for intergalactic travelers. Store Updates As the timelines and storylines blend, you might notice some updates to shops throughout Galaxy’s Edge. First Order Cargo will become Black Spire Surplus, a military salvage operation with artifacts from across the history of the galaxy, including Imperial and Rebel items from the Galactic Civil War.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland has always been more than just a themed land. It’s a fully immersive planet where storylines evolve, characters roam freely, and now, we’re getting brand-new surprises. Hey R2! From the moment guests step onto Batuu, they’re transported into a living galaxy far, far away, and now Disney has confirmed that some notable changes are on the horizon. The beloved Droid Depot is getting some updates on the West Coast after April 29th. One of the most iconic interactive experiences in Galaxy’s Edge is Droid Depot. This is where guests can build and purchase their very own droid companion, choosing parts, colors, and personality chips to create a custom BB-series or R-series unit. The shop has long been framed as a bustling workshop run by the Mubo family, and it’s a must-do experience for Star Wars fans of all ages, especially those who want a hands-on souvenir that actually moves, beeps, and reacts to the land around it. Droid Depot in Disneyland Disney has now confirmed that “an earlier generation of the Mubo family will be taking over operations” at Droid Depot. The change in management will be prototyping the BB style of droid. The good news? Guests will still have the opportunity to purchase and build their own droid companion just like before, so the core experience isn’t going anywhere. We will still get to see R2D2 in the store, as well as some new droids from the original Star Wars period. Droid Depot As Galaxy’s Edge continues to evolve, these changes to Droid Depot show that Disney wants to keep the land fresh. We’ll be keeping a close eye on how these updates roll out and will be there to show you the changes, so be sure to stay tuned to Disney Food Blog.

Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is getting some MAJOR updates to shops, characters, and more! Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge continues to be one of the most immersive lands ever created in a Disney park, transporting guests straight into the middle of a galaxy far, far away. From piloting the Millennium Falcon to sipping blue milk on Batuu, every detail of the land is designed to make visitors feel like they’ve stepped into a living Star Wars story. And now, Disney has announced another notable update that will bring fresh life to one of Galaxy’s Edge’s most iconic locations. Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities is getting a big change. Disney has just announced that the shop will begin featuring new artifacts and curiosities inspired by props from more recent Star Wars series. Known for its mysterious, museum-like atmosphere, Dok-Ondar’s has always been a treasure trove of rare and unusual items from across the Star Wars universe, and now that collection is evolving to reflect newer stories fans have come to love. Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities As antiquities shops often do, Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities will display a different array of one-of-a-kind items from its past. The curiosities and artifacts in his shop certainly change with the times, and this update leans into that storytelling detail. This change also fits into broader updates happening across Galaxy’s Edge as Disney continues to refresh the land without disrupting its core experience. Rather than massive overhauls, these smaller updates help keep the land feeling fresh, but sticking to what Galaxy’s Edge’s design is. Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities at Disneyland We’ll be keeping a close eye on what new artifacts arrive at Dok-Ondar’s and what other updates may be coming to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
