This year has been filled with exciting products from Disney Parks Merchandise. Here is a look back at some of the most popular items from 2016. Thank you for the many comments on the Disney Parks Blog this year (I love reading and answering your questions). I look forward to sharing the latest and greatest items from Disney Parks in the New Year! The Disney Castle by LEGO – One of the most popular items this year was The Disney Castle by LEGO. This highly detailed model contains over 4,000 pieces and comes with an array of exciting Disney-themed features and functions. In spring, we introduced the first-ever Disney character collection of Minifigures by LEGO. Disney PinQuest – This summer, guests of all ages enjoyed mini-adventures throughout Disneyland park and Magic Kingdom Park while looking for clues and collecting pins. ALEX AND ANI – Summertime also saw the debut new “Words Are Powerful” color infusion bangles by ALEX AND ANI. These bangles contained Disney sayings and attributes of some of our most beloved Disney characters. Disney Parks-Inspired Products – This year, we offered a selection of products inspired by classic attractions and characters from Disney Parks. The Disney Kingdoms team released a five-part comic series featuring Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room. Disney Publishing released “Disney Parks Presents The Haunted Mansion,” which is the first in a series of picture books with CDs and original artwork based on beloved Disney Parks rides and attractions. Guests who collect Funko Pop! figures discovered two Indiana Jones-themed figures with nods to the Indiana Jones Adventure in Disneyland park. We also introduced Disney Tsum Tsum plush inspired by Pirates of the Caribbean, the Haunted Mansion, Fantasyland, and Adventureland. 45th Anniversary of Magic Kingdom Park – We counted down all summer long to the 45th Anniversary of Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World Resort. To celebrate the occasion on October 1, we released commemorative logo products including a dangle charm by PANDORA Jewelry. Guests could also find vintage apparel on the Disney Parks online store as part of the YesterEars Collection. Star Wars – Fans of Star Wars and the incredible new film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story found a galaxy of new products at Disney Parks. New Shopping Destinations – Guests visiting Walt Disney World Resort found new places to shop this year. At Disney Springs, we opened Disney TAG (Travel-Accessories-Gear) in the Marketplace Co-Op; a beautiful new location for the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique near Once Upon a Toy; and a Disney home décor store in Town Center called D-Living. World Showcase at Epcot – As part of a monthly series, I traveled around World Showcase at Epcot offering looks at architecture and unique products. Disney Parks Blog Unboxed – Throughout this year, the Disney Delivery Guy surprised me with boxes containing never-before-seen products for Disney Parks. We had a blast revealing products for the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival; new handbags and accessories by Dooney & Bourke; frightfully fun products for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party; and fall fashion created for Disney Parks.

When the clock strikes midnight on December 31, where will you be celebrating? Chances are some of you might be ringing in the New Year with us either at Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort or even aboard a Disney Cruise Line ship. We asked the Disney Parks Moms Panelists to share their best tips on navigating the most celebrated night of the year. Kay B. has spent many New Year’s Eves at Walt Disney World Resort. She recommends you pack your patience and arrive early because the parks will all be crowded due to the anticipation of the great firework shows “which are bigger and better than the normal wonderful displays.” Try to make sure the little ones get in a nap, so they can toast the New Year with smiles on their faces. Kay also suggests that you don’t plan early morning events the next day, since New Year’s Eve will be a late night. Pick up a park map and times guide, Jackie P. recommends, so you don’t miss out on special or added entertainment, fireworks and activities. Plus, did you know there are incredible fireworks for New Year’s Eve at Magic Kingdom Park, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Epcot, and Disney Springs? Jen R. recommends playing Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom and eating a snack, preferably a Dole Whip, when things get a little crowded. She also shares “the fireworks were, honestly, the most amazing show we’ve ever experienced. The show surrounds the park at midnight. It’s hard to explain other than it’s worth seeing in person!” If you are ringing in the New Year at Disneyland Resort, Kiki Y., one of our resident Disneyland Panelists, offers up some practical. In a recent answer on DisneyParksMomsPanel.com , she gives a first-timer to Disneyland Resort some great New Year’s Eve tips, including making dining reservations early! She says the “atmosphere is festive, fun and filled with enthusiasm and excitement!” And should you find yourself aboard a Disney Cruise Line ship for New Year’s Eve, there are many special, extra events planned! Marcy G. shares all the festive fun aboard the Disney Fantasy with a Guest who is departing on New Year’s Eve. The special events include an exclusive dinner menu, themed deck party, your favorite characters in their New Year’s best, and so much more!

The calendar has flipped over to December, and we once again find ourselves on the cusp of another incredible new year. For anyone planning to welcome 2017 at Walt Disney World Resort, we have quite a party in store. Here’s a rundown of some of the entertainment planned for this year’s celebration. Epcot – It’s a party throughout Epcot from 7 p.m. – 1 a.m., with unique entertainment including a DJ at the Future World Fountain Stage, dancing to a DJ under flame effects and a smoke-billowing dragon in China, a blast to the past with British Invasion in the United Kingdom, a Euro-pop DJ and lasers in Italy, a Latin band and DJ on the America Gardens Stage and a “Silent Groove” party in Japan. Cap it all off with one of two showings of “IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth.” The 6:00 p.m. show will include our holiday finale, while the 11:40 p.m. performance will be followed by a countdown and pyrotechnic salute to the New Year. Disney’s Hollywood Studios – Ring in the New Year beginning at 7 p.m. with a high energy DJ dance party at Center Stage, leading up to a countdown to midnight and fireworks celebration. You can also enjoy two incredible nighttime spectaculars, with “Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!” at 9 p.m. and “Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular” just after midnight. Magic Kingdom Park – Get a head start on the festivities, with a special New Year’s Eve eve presentation of “Fantasy in the Sky” fireworks at 11:50 p.m. on Friday, December 30. The same show will be repeated on December 31. For families looking to wrap things up a little earlier, both nights will also feature the Holiday Wishes New Year’s Celebration at 7:30 p.m., complete with expanded fireworks and a New Year’s Eve countdown. So tell me … What are you doing New Year’s Eve? View the full article

Picking out the perfect gown to wear to a New Year’s Eve ball, perhaps? View the full article

A few weeks ago, we gave our readers the chance to vote for the Disney character they’d like to see featured in our special Christmas Day edition Disney Doodle, a series that imagines what a Disney character would do if he or she had the chance to visit the parks. The character with the most votes? Pascal from “Tangled”! According to artist Ashley Taylor, the doodle was inspired by “the scene in ‘Tangled’ where Pascal marvels at the floating lanterns in the sky. There’s no doubt he would be impressed by this beautiful holiday display!” View the full article

Charlie Ridgway was behind many of Disney's most iconic moments.

For more than 40 years, if you... View the full article

It’s a pretty common occurrence. You’re in the middle of your Walt Disney World vacation, it’s the holiday season, and you’d love to enjoy a table service meal. But there’s only one problem: you don’t have an advance dining reservation (ADR). Maybe your plans changed, or the weather did. Or it could just be that you planned to grab counter service, but now you’re rethinking that move. Whatever the situation, you might think that all hope is lost. There’s no way you’re getting into any Disney table service restaurant that you didn’t book 180 days out. Right? You might be surprised to learn that I book a lot of tables just days before I head to Walt Disney World. And it’s not all that rare for me to change things up at the last minute — even during the busiest times of the year! How do I do it? Flexibility helps a LOT. But if that’s not an option, what you need are some tried and true spots where you can probably score a table with very short notice, or even as a walk up. Here are our suggestions for Where to Dine When You Don’t Have a Reservation in Walt Disney World. And if you love what you see here, be sure to check out the DFB Guide to Walt Disney World Dining for tons of great tips! The Wave…of American Flavors One of my favorite resort dining spots is The Wave…of American Flavors at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Bonus: it’s within walking distance (or monorail ride) of Magic Kingdom! The Wave offers a hearty start to your day. Enjoy an a la carte breakfast of some of the restaurant’s specialties, like Sweet Potato Pancakes. Sweet Potato Pancakes with melted butter and maple syrup And if you can’t make up your mind between sweet and savory, you can opt for the Buffet. The Wave Breakfast Buffet Personally, my favorite meal here is dinner. The restaurant takes a seasonal approach to their menu, so dishes change up regularly. I’d say The Wave is on par with many of Disney’s signature restaurants in terms of its interesting offerings. Don’t miss the Beef Tenderloin — it was one of my favorite meals during a recent visit. Herb Salt Seasoned Beef Tenderloin And if the The Wave Bacon and Eggs — a combo of beautiful Pork Belly and a sous-vide “Perfect Egg” — is available on the dinner menu, get it!! You’ll thank me. The Plaza Restaurant Imagine dining at an historic spot on Main Street USA, steps away from Cinderella Castle. You probably figure that you’ll need to book that table a full 180 days out. Well…surprise! You don’t. Not when you make a last minute decision to take in a meal at The Plaza Restaurant. The Plaza Restaurant — Outside Even though the restaurant is fairly small, you’ll find that it’s normally not very crowded. And now, the Plaza intentionally holds open space for walk ups. There are some real winners on the menu. I’ve enjoyed many of the Sandwiches here, and the Chicken Strawberry Salad has a loyal following. And — you guys! — Plaza Loaded Fries!! Yasssssss! Plaza Loaded Fries But hands down, my recent favorite has been the Meatloaf Meal. Super flavorful and generously portioned, I crave this one from time to time! Meatloaf Meal at The Plaza Restaurant And don’t forget to order one of their Hand-Dipped Milkshakes. Express delivered thanks to the Main Street Ice Cream Parlor right next door, these old-fashioned treats are some of our favorites. Yak & Yeti Restaurant Where can you go if you’re looking for a sit down meal in Disney’s wildest park? Yak & Yeti Restaurant is always a solid choice! Located in the Asia portion of Animal Kingdom, Yak and Yeti is actually operated by Landry’s. But the attention to detail in the decor here would make any Disney Imagineer proud. Be Sure to Pencil in Extra Time Just to Look Around! The fare is a wonderful mix of Pan Asian with some Indian flavors thrown in as well. And here’s a TIP: with small plates, “shareables”, and plenty of interesting cocktails, Yak & Yeti is a great spot to make a meal out of apps. I love the Dim Sum Basket for Two! Dim Sum Basket for Two But absolutely save room for dessert. The Mango Pie gets super high marks, and the Fried Wontons are legendary! Walt Disney World Lounges When you find yourself without an ADR but wanting something more than fast food, Disney World bars are lounges are a GREAT alternative. They don’t accept ADRs, so seating is always first come, first serve. And inventive takes on pub grub throughout the ‘World makes these some of our favorite dining spots. Crew’s Cup Lounge at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort Let’s take a closer look at a few of our favorite spots to enjoy tasty cocktails and delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere. Nomad Lounge Nomad Lounge at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is one of my new favorites for sure. To begin, the space is gorgeous. Inside, soaring ceilings celebrate the romance of travel. Nomad Lounge Bar Outside, a wrap around terrace overlooks beautiful green spaces. And soon, you’ll be able to spy Pandora from here! Outdoor Seating Be sure to take your time as you look at the menu at Nomad Lounge. It’s totally a work of art! Nomad Lounge Menu Menu Art and Spice Trader Classic The drinks are as well. Try the Kungaloosh Spiced Excursion Ale for something different. If your tastes run to cocktails, you’ll find some inventive ones, and there are also plenty of non-alcoholic cocktail options. We loved the Spice Trader Classic! Spice Trader Classic While bites are pretty light here, we love the option of Tiffins Bread Service in the Lounge! Tiffins Signature Bread Service We were impressed with Wings as well, and we can’t wait to try the African-spiced Wagyu Beef Sliders on our next visit. Tune-In Lounge For a taste of home — home in the 1950s, that is — check out Tune-In Lounge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The lounge is adjacent to 50s Primetime Cafe. In fact, it kind of serves as the waiting area for the restaurant. Tune-In Lounge The full bar is a fantastic spot for people watching as you enjoy a drink — like the groovy classic, Dad’s Electric Lemonade! Dad’s Electric Lemonade But here’s the best news — you can also order from 50s Prime Time’s full menu! So go ahead — enjoy Fried Herb and Garlic Cheese or Aunt Liz’s Golden Fried Chicken without an ADR! Aunt Liz’s Golden Fried Chicken Territory Lounge But we’ve saved one of our very favorites for last — Territory Lounge. Territory Lounge Dressed Up For the Holidays! This spot, located at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, is one of the best places to hang out at Walt Disney World. Whether I’m looking to just enjoy a quiet glass of wine, or I’m interested in some hearty bar food, they always have just what I’d like. Wine! Yay! And the cozy atmosphere — and cool carved bears! — keep me coming back again and again. As for bites, DO NOT MISS the Fondue. It changes names — currently, it’s boasting Chardonnay in the mix — but it’s always amazing. Fondue — Up Close And if they also have the donuts — GET THEM. You’re welcome.

Looking for a seriously refreshing drink in Disney’s Animal Kingdom? Look no further than the Jungle Juice Slushy at Mahindi! It’s the next delicious stop on the DFB YouTube Channel train! Frozen Jungle Juice at Animal Kingdom’s Mahindi Kiosk Jungle Juice (aka Lilikoi Juice at the Polynesian, aka POG Juice at other spots) has long been a breakfast favorite of mine.

Guten tag from beautiful Salzburg, Austria! This week I’m sailing on the very first Adventures by Disney Holiday River Cruise, making stops in eight charming cities and towns throughout four countries along Europe’s Danube River. It’s been nothing short of breathtaking thus far, but this evening I was especially charmed by the warm glow of Salzburg, birthplace of Mozart, and I couldn’t help but share it with all of you. I’ll have even more details to offer about this adventure when I get home, so look for them here on the Disney Parks Blog in the weeks to come. In the meantime, check out what’s in store for our 2017 sailings on the Adventures by Disney website.

Holidays at the Disneyland Resort bring special seasonal touches around every corner, and the residents of Mickey’s Toontown at Disneyland park are in the spirit as well. Let’s take a look at some of their holiday decorations. Mickey Mouse has his house decked with traditional holiday garlands, complete with oversize colored lights. Check out Minnie Mouse’s gazebo, with its matching pink and purple adornments. How lovely! And if you’ve seen the new “World of Color – Season of Light” at Disney California Adventure park, you know that holiday decorating isn’t really Goofy’s expertise, but I’d say he did a pretty good job with his house – bowling pins notwithstanding. Which is your favorite festive feature of Mickey’s Toontown during the holiday season? Let us know in the comments! View the full article
