Are you ready to set sail on a real Adventure? (See what we did there…). Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Adventure, will be heading off for its maiden voyage in December 2025. ©Disney Disney Cruise Line just dropped a TON of new details about the ship, too, which will have its home port in Singapore. We even got as details about attractions coming to the ship, and much, much MORE. However, one thing you might have missed is that the Disney Adventure will have an entire area themed to Big Hero 6 — including a meet-and-greet with your favorite personal healthcare companion. The Disney Adventure will feature an area called San Fransokyo Street, which is inspired by Big Hero 6. This will be “a vibrant street market perfect for family entertainment with interactive games and activities, shops, cinemas and more, plus endearing encounters with the larger-than-life Baymax himself.” Yep, you’ll get to meet Baymax at sea! ©Disney However, this area will feature something that sounds AMAZING. In the Hiro Training Zone, you’ll be able to “put your hero skills to the test. Disney describes this as “an immersive training simulator built by boy genius Hiro Hamada.” It’s a “full-body experience” which “will have groups of four running, dodging and blocking their way across a high-tech gaming floor.” Say what? Okay, the first thing we thought of when reading that is that this could be how Disney plans on using that HoloTile technology that impressed us back in April. That’s what it sounds like, RIGHT? Disney described the tech as the “world’s first multi-person, omnidirectional, modular, expandable, treadmill floor.” It also allows multiple people (say, for example, groups of four) on the floor moving in different directions at the same time.  Now, Disney hasn’t confirmed this is the tech it will be using on the ship, but it certainly sounds like it’s a possibility. We’ll be keeping an eye out for more Disney Adventure announcements, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

Another day, another Disney World CHANGE! ©Disney Disney World just introduced a NEW Lightning Lane Premier Pass to go along with the current skip-the-line services known as Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass. We’ve gone over the pricing for the new pass and revealed who will get to use it when it first rolls out — but now, we’re taking a look at the FULL LIST of rides included with the Lightning Lane Premier Pass! Disney just announced a new service called Lightning Lane Premier Pass, which allows single-use entry to each Lightning Lane attraction in a theme park. This skip-the-line pass can be used at ANY time; there is no need to book a reservation in advance. Lightning Lane Premier Pass differs from Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass in three big ways: Additional Flexibility: With Lightning Lane Premier Pass, you DO NOT have to select an arrival window for Lightning Lane attractions and experiences. With the other two existing Lightning Lane services, you must choose an arrival window for each Lightning Lane attraction. Combines ALL Attractions (In a Single Park) Into One Pass: Lightning Lane Premier Pass gives you single-use entry to each available Lightning Lane attraction in one park. In short, the Premier Pass combines Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass attractions. Photo Perks: With the Lightning Lane Multi Pass and the new Lightning Lane Premier Pass, you get digital downloads of select attraction photos and videos, along with access to Disney PhotoPass Lenses. Lightning Lane This new Lightning Lane Premier Pass will launch on October 30th, 2024; this service will only be available for those staying at Deluxe hotels. The new service starts at $129+ and can go up to $449 per person per day, depending on the park and time of year. Lightning Lane Now, let’s talk about what’s included in that high price tag. Keep in mind that the new Lightning Lane Premier Pass allows you to use the Lightning Lane one time at ANY attraction, ANY time of day.

ADORBS-Alert! Introducing the newest and cutest cub at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Here’s a behind-the-scenes “fur-st” look at baby boy Bakso and mom, Sohni, capturing the hearts of the animal care team which is over-the-moon about this latest bundle of stripes. Though this tiger may be tiny now, he represents a great contribution to a declining tiger population, with less than 600 Sumatran tigers left in the wild and managed care. Bakso also serves as a beacon of hope for the future of this critically endangered species and to all of those who care for these tigers. “Tigers are in steep decline in the wild, so it is very special to welcome a new baby here at Disney, the first in seven years. Tiger births are rare in managed care and take a lot of planning and coordinating by our animal care team and the Species Survival Plan,” said Dr. Natalie, one of the veterinarians and many animal care professionals who monitored Sohni throughout her three-month pregnancy. These big cats are considered an “umbrella species.” In technical terms, conservation efforts to preserve these tigers will extend to other species within their habitat providing cover to other key organisms and living things across the ecosystem. Essentially, by protecting tigers and their habitats, we protect the places where they belong, which is critical to many people around the world. This is why it’s essential that we continue our focused care. Disney has a long history of collaborating with renowned experts like the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and the Species Survival Plan (SSP) to bolster endangered and threatened species populations in managed care. This birth is just one great example of Disney’s work with the AZA that has helped strengthen the critically endangered Sumatran tiger population and the genetics of the species worldwide. Dr. Natalie regards this birth as significant, well-planned and meticulously orchestrated. Using advanced technology, endocrinologists – also known as hormone experts – were able to monitor the health of Sohni’s pregnancy up until the birth, like that of 10-month-old Corra, an African elephant on Kilimanjaro Safaris. From frequent blood tests to weekly ultrasounds, skilled veterinarians like Dr. Natalie ensured that both Bakso and Sohni were happy and healthy. Best of all, Sohni’s keepers monitored her behavior and successfully trained her to voluntarily participate in her own care, a testament to the relationship our keepers develop with these incredible animals. While the health and wellbeing of the animals in our care is incredibly important to us, caring for their wild counterparts is key. The Disney Conservation Fund has provided support to 15 organizations working with communities to protect tigers and their habitats since 1995. This past April in celebration of Disneynature’s Tiger the fund also awarded a grant to Wildlife Conservation Society in support of their initiatives safeguarding the world’s most endangered tigers. Like all Sumatran tiger cubs, Bakso will need his mother’s care until he is around 18-24 months old. So the good news is that guests will be able to see baby grow alongside mom when they’re both ready to join Maharajah Jungle Trek in a few months. For the latest updates on Bakso and all the animals at Walt Disney World Resort, follow Dr. Mark on Instagram and Disney’s Animals, Science and Environment Facebook page.

Disney World hotels come with a whole lot of perks. You get early access to the theme parks, some of the best dining on property, transportation directly to the parks, and depending on the hotel — late nights in the parks, too! Art of Animation But, there’s one perk you’ll find at Disney World hotels that Disney Adults keep refusing and we think we know why! Disney Adults love staying at Disney World hotels for plenty of reasons. You can find some seriously incredible theming, dining, entertainment, and more at Disney hotels and it’s easy to see why they’re loved by so many. But, there’s one perk that comes along with your stay at a Disney World hotel that lots of Disney Adults seem to be skipping these days — and we think we know why. Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa When Disney World hotels first opened back up after the pandemic-related closures, they did so with some amended practices to keep Cast Members and hotel guests safe. This included only providing housekeeping services every other day (or every 4th and 8th day for Disney Vacation Club members) or giving guests the option to decline housekeeping service entirely. Riviera Resort While housekeeping returned to “normal” in early 2023 with every-other-day service at Moderate and Value Resorts and daily service at Deluxe Resorts, it seems that many hotel guests are still choosing to decline housekeeping services during their stays. Coronado Springs Multiple Disney Adults we asked cited health and privacy as a big reason for declining housekeeping, with folks still feeling wary of others in their personal space in a post-COVID world. Environmental concerns were another common answer. More housekeeping services mean more trash, dirty laundry, and other things that can have an impact on the environment. Wilderness Lodge The option to decline housekeeping is no longer part of the online check-in process, but you can still speak with a Cast Member to let them know you don’t want housekeeping or place the “Room Occupied” sign on the outside of your hotel door. And, of course, if you need more housekeeping services than what is typically offered, you can always check at the front desk or contact housekeeping using the phone in your room.

Disney just announced (another) NEW way to skip the lines at its four Florida parks. Spoiler alert: this new service isn’t cheap: prices will range from $129 to $449 (per person, plus tax) at launch. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Let’s back up for a moment. Grand Floridian Resort Disney just announced a new skip-the-line service called Lightning Lane Premier Pass. This new pass will allow you to use the express lane (officially known as the “Lightning Lane”) for a shorter wait at various attractions. There are a few key differences between the new Premier Pass and the existing Multi and Single Passes, along with a BIG new perk, so let’s break it down. OK, first, we need to discuss the two skip-the-line services currently available to anyone at Disney World. Lightning Lane Multi Pass is an optional paid service available through the My Disney Experience app. This service allows you to bypass standby lines and enter the Lightning Lane at select attractions in the parks. With Multi Pass, you pay a base price for multiple attractions. Lightning Lane Multi Pass allows you to make up to three Lightning Lane Multi Pass selections in a park BEFORE your visit. Additionally, you can choose from available times as you make your attraction selections and can continue to hold up to three Lighting Lane Multi Pass selections at a time. Lightning Lane Then there’s also a separate service called Lightning Lane Single Pass. Lightning Lane Single Pass is essentially a pay-per-ride service you can purchase to utilize the Lightning Lane for an individual, in-demand attraction. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Lightning Lane Both of these services will vary in price depending on the date, but in general, the price ranges from about $20 per person per day to $35 per person per day. You can learn more about Lightning Lane Multi Pass in Disney World with our handy guide! Now, let’s talk about the big NEW change. Disney just introduced a new service called Lightning Lane Premier Pass, which allows one-time entry to each Lightning Lane experience in a theme park. This skip-the-line pass can be used ANY time you want; no need to preschedule a reservation. Haunted Mansion Lightning Lane Sign Disney explained that Lightning Lane Premier Pass differs from Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass in three key ways: Added Flexibility: With Lightning Lane Premier Pass, you DO NOT have to choose arrival windows for Lightning Lane attractions and experiences. With the other two Lightning Lane services, you must choose an arrival window for each Lightning Lane attraction. Combines ALL Attractions (In a Single Park) Into One Pass: Lightning Lane Premier Pass gives you single-use entry to each available Lightning Lane attraction in one park. This means the Premier Pass combines Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass attractions. Photo Perks: With both Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Premier Pass, you get digital downloads of select attraction photos and videos, along with access to Disney PhotoPass Lenses. Lightning Lane When it launches on October 30th, 2024, Lightning Lane Premier Pass will ONLY be available in “very limited quantities” EXCLUSIVELY for those staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts, Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts, and other select hotels. That means Deluxe hotel guests have an exclusive new perk! Bungalows at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Below is a full list of all the eligible resort hotels. You need proof of valid park admission before purchasing a Premier Pass.

Disney World is offering a new way to skip the lines. Cinderella Castle The new Lightning Lane Premier Pass allows you to ride every Lightning Lane attraction in one day at one park — without having to make specific Lightning Lane reservations. That’s right — without having to use your phone all day! But just how much will the Lightning Lane Premier Pass cost? Well, it’s probably going to cost more than your park ticket. Lightning Lane Disney says the price for the Lightning Lane Premier Pass will range from $129 to $449. Just like Disney World tickets and the other Lightning Lane passes, the Lightning Lane Premier Pass will use dynamic pricing — prices will vary based on demand. Busier times of year — like holiday weekends — will see the high end of this price range. Lightning Lane That’s a per day, per person price. And yes, it’s a lot. The first day the Lightning Lane Premier Pass will be available is October 30th, and this pass can only be purchased if you are staying in a Disney Deluxe Resort, Deluxe Villa Resort, Shades of Green, or the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin. Swan & Dolphin Here’s one super important thing to know about the Lightning Lane Premier Pass — it is only good for one park. So, if you buy it for Magic Kingdom, you’ll be able to ride every ride that has a Lightning Lane in Magic Kingdom (and that includes the Lightning Lane Single Pass rides TRON Lightcycle/Run and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train), but you can’t then hop to Hollywood Studios and use your pass there. We’ll be bringing you all the details of Lightning Lane Premier Pass, and of course we will be in the parks testing it out on October 30th. So keep following DFB for the latest Disney news!

The Disney Adventure will set sail on its maiden voyage out of Singapore on December 15, 2025! And when it does, this ship will bring a whole new level of magic to the high seas. From first-of-their-kind experiences and energetic new stage shows, to dozens of dining options and countless character encounters, the Disney Adventure will be both a journey and a destination, providing an unforgettable vacation for everyone on board. With seven themed areas, all-day entertainment and plenty of space for family fun, there will be so much to discover. So, how will you decide what to do first? We’ve explored the ship from bow to stern and here are the top, must-do Disney Adventure experiences: 1. Assemble Your Squad at Marvel Landing Grab your family and head to Marvel Landing on the upper decks to experience hero-sized fun at our first adventure zone at sea, featuring three all-new Disney attractions. On Ironcycle Test Run, Disney Cruise Line’s first-ever rollercoaster, riders will test-drive Tony Stark’s latest Ironcycle prototype on a thrilling high-speed circuit. Following a rapid-fire driving lesson from F.R.I.D.A.Y., you’ll push the new technology to its limits on a gravity-defying ride suspended up to 30 feet above the upper deck on the soon-to-be longest roller coaster at sea. On Pym Quantum Racers, you’ll take the wheel of Pym Tech-modified mini-cars for a zip around a full-scale toy set track, navigating outsized and undersized obstacles along the way. And, you can even blast into an awesome mix of high-soaring feats and bass-boosted beats on Groot Galaxy Spin. After an Avengers-level adventure, cool off at Marvel Landing’s sleek sundeck with an infinity pool and grab some refreshments at the pool bar – all inspired by Tony Stark’s residence – while taking in the beautiful ocean views. 2. Experience Captivating Entertainment with Brand-New Stage Shows and More The Disney Adventure will offer entertainment on an epic scale – unforgettable character encounters, dazzling Broadway-style shows, signature events, first-run films, private karaoke rooms, game shows and more. Sure to make a lasting impression is the all-new stage show, “Remember” debuting at the Walt Disney Theater. A heartfelt tale of love and longing, the show stars Wall-E and Eve along with a colorful supporting cast. After an unexpected reboot of Eve, Wall-E will call on heroes from Pixar Animation Studio’s “Coco,” Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “The Little Mermaid” and “Aladdin,” and other classic films to help restore his loved one through the power of music, hope and treasured memories. A favorite of the fleet, “Disney Seas the Adventure” will also take to the Walt Disney Theater stage, guiding guests on a musical journey through beloved stories featuring iconic Disney songs and characters. Beyond Broadway-style musicals, Disney Adventure will debut new shows at the state-of-the-art Disney Imagination Garden stage. Set in front of three-deck-high LED screens, the Garden Stage will host an exciting line-up of shows all day long – whether it’s kicking off the vacation with Let’s Set Sail, a high-energy dance party that will jumpstart the fun on embarkation day; watching an epic battle of Marvel Super Heroes and Villains in Avengers Assemble!; going on a hilarious adventure helmed by everyone’s favorite roguish pirate in Captain Jack Sparrow & The Siren Queen; singing and grooving along to classic Disney tunes during Mickey’s Color Spin Dance Party or getting physical with the Baymax Super Exercise Expo. 3. Enjoy More Than a Meal: Dine at Immersive New Restaurants With Disney Cruise Line’s signature rotational dining, you’ll have three distinct dining experiences during your voyage. These restaurants will bring the magic of Disney characters and storytelling to every meal. Offering dinner with a flair, the Navigator’s Club and Hollywood Spotlight Club will recall the traditions and glamour of the golden age with signature entertainment and special appearances by Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Daisy Duck. At Animator’s Palate and Animator’s Table, the legacy and artistry of Disney and Pixar animated films will set the stage for a magical evening. As you dine, your own drawings will star alongside famous characters in a show-stopping, on-screen animated finale shown throughout the dining rooms. Enchanted Summer Restaurant will bring the worlds of Disney Animation’s “Tangled” and “Frozen” to life in a cozy village dining hall. In the Maximus dining room, you’ll step into a colorful, hand-painted rendition of “Tangled” while the Olaf dining room will feel like a summer snow day in the kingdom of Arendelle. Located near Toy Story Place, Pixar Market Restaurant will be a celebration of Pixar films. Each dining area will capture the spirit of one of the studio’s enduring films from “Inside Out” and “Monsters University” to “Turning Red,” “The Incredibles” and more. The Disney Adventure will also have two premium dining restaurants. Palo Trattoria will serve exquisite Italian fare for adults only. At the all-new Mike & Sulley’s – Flavors of Asia, you can satisfy your monstrous appetite with four distinct experiences: a full-service Japanese steakhouse, a lively teppanyaki room, a chic bar with Omakase-style dining and outdoor dining featuring sushi and sashimi. If grabbing a bite or a tasty tea is more your preference, you can visit different quick-service restaurants throughout the ship including Gramma Tala’s Kitchen, Mowgli’s Eatery, Stitch’s ‘Ohana Grill, Cosmic Kebabs and Palo Café. At Bewitching Boba and Brews in Disney Discovery Reef, popular bubble teas and other wickedly delicious concoctions will be available in a vibrant environment inspired by the ocean’s most sorcerous sea witch, Ursula. 4. Create Core Memories: Family Fun Throughout the Ship San Fransokyo Street, inspired by the eclectic world of Disney Animation’s “Big Hero 6,” will be a vibrant street market perfect for family entertainment with interactive games and activities, shops, cinemas and more, plus endearing encounters with the larger-than-life Baymax himself. You’ll be able to put your hero skills to the test in the Hiro Training Zone, an immersive training simulator built by boy genius Hiro Hamada. The active, full-body experience will have groups of four running, dodging and blocking their way across a high-tech gaming floor. If soaking up the sun is more your style, you’ll find an open-air oasis at Wayfinder Bay. Tucked away at the back of the ship, this relaxing pool area will feature plush seating offering some of the ship’s most stunning views of sea and sky. Guests of all ages can cool down with a frosty beverage from Voyager Bar or chill out in the wading pool with built-in sun shelf. Paired with a jumbo LED screen, the wading pool will double as a one-of-a-kind performance venue for live shows and interactive events including “Moana: Call of the Sea,” a musical adventure that retells Moana’s epic quest across the ocean. 5. Star in Their Own Story: Kids-Only Spaces Encourage Creativity A world of possibilities will await the youngest guests onboard the Disney Adventure. Disney Cruise Line’s signature spaces for kids from six months to 17-years-old – including it’s a small world nursery, Disney’s Oceaneer Club, Edge and Vibe – will bring their favorite stories to life in dedicated areas designed just for them. With plenty of space for play, storytelling, creativity, arts and crafts, gaming, watching movies and, of course, meeting their favorite Disney characters, kids can learn, explore and make memories of their own all while under the supervision of Disney-trained counselors. On the upper decks, Toy Story Place will take kids “to infinity and beyond” in a colorful, larger-than-life toy land with a large family pool, whirlpools, slides, splash pads and dining options, plus outdoor screenings of Disney movies, trivia and more. 6. Unwind and Indulge: Experiences Designed with Adults in Mind When it’s time to take a break during a busy day onboard, adults can retreat to a selection of different spaces – from relaxing with a treatment at the spa, practicing yoga or grabbing a juice at the Fitness Center, or enjoying an intimate dinner at one of the ship’s premium restaurants. Throughout the ship adults will also find lively bars and lounges including the Buccaneer Bar, where a swashbuckling good time will await thanks to a collection of high-end brews and live sports broadcasts, and Spellbound, a shadowy lounge inspired by the Queen from Disney Animation’s “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” serving up delicious potions and cocktails. Phew! That was a lot to cover – and we didn’t even get to it all. There is so much to discover onboard the Disney Adventure. For a full list of the incredible, immersive spaces and experiences planned for the ship, visit the Disney Cruise Line website and stay tuned on the Disney Parks Blog for the latest news. Bookings for the Disney Adventure are scheduled to open on December 10, 2024. Details on sailing dates will be released on November 14, 2024.

Ok Disney World, we don’t care how much this adorable souvenir costs as long as we can take it home! It’s Halloween in Disney World! Popcorn buckets are some of our favorite Disney souvenirs and there have been some real winners this Halloween season! While we’re still freaking out over The Nightmare Before Christmas-inspired buckets, Disney World has brought another absolute winner to the parks with its latest Halloween popcorn bucket featuring “Experiment 626” making its debut at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! The ridiculously popular Vampire Stitch popcorn bucket debuted at Disneyland in September (and quickly sold out) and fans have been wondering when we’d see it make the jump to the East Coast. Well, now we know! The Vampire Stitch popcorn bucket officially debuts at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party beginning October 15th, 2024! ©Disney For now, this bucket can be found at Magic Kingdom’s Halloween party, but we have seen these buckets eventually get a wider release over time. This is not guaranteed, however, so if you want to grab one for face value at Disney World, your best bet is attending Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Vampire Stitch Popcorn Bucket in Disneyland This event-exclusive popcorn bucket will be limited to two purchases per person while supplies last. It’s likely supplies don’t last long either, as this cute souvenir sold out FAST at Disney California Adventure’s Oogie Boogie Bash. We recommend getting in line early before the party starts and being prepared to grab one of these ASAP. ©Disney The Vampire Stitch popcorn bucket is based on the loveable alien from the Lilo & Stitch franchise in his spookiest trick-or-treating costume, cape and all! You can pick him up at a participating popcorn cart in Magic Kingdom during the event. Magic Kingdom Popcorn Cart Have you experienced Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party yet this year?

Disney parks are just a popular place to spot a celebrity as of late and this might be the enchanting visit of them all! ©Disneyland We’ve spotted the likes of celebrities splurging on Disney souvenirs, eating at some of our favorite Disney World restaurants, and hanging out with Mickey overseas, but if Halloween is your season (or you just really keep up with pop culture), the celeb who recently paid a visit to Disneyland will blow your mind! If you’ve been keeping up with the latest Disney+ series it’s hard not to notice Agatha All Along. The highly anticipated spin-off series from the MARVEL hit series WandaVision, is dedicated to the villain we’ve grown to love, Agatha Harkness. ©Marvel This new series details the trials and tribulations the lone witch must face as she begins her quest to walk the Witches Road after assembling a rather testy coven of strong-willed witches that aren’t particularly fond of Agatha. The popular villain played by Kathryn Hahn has turned the focal point of this brand new series and it seems to have taken its viewers by storm leaving us all wanting answers to each episodes cliffhanging endings. ©Marvel The character’s popularity has soared to new heights and has even drummed up its own line of merchandise to showcase the series, which has bestowed Hahn with her very own Agatha All Along Minnie ears. ©Disneyland Hahn was photographed showing off the latest Minnie ear headband which features call backs to her wicked character and notable nods from the show. Most impressive at the center of the bow is Agatha’s signature “Mother, Maiden, Crone” crest which she keeps close to her chest (and seems like there may be more of a backstory to than we’ve already caught a glimpse of). Each of the faux leather ears are embossed with barren tree branches and the left side even features a crescent moon. ‘Agatha All Along’ ears It’s super fun to see celebrities having fun in Disneyland and Disney World and we couldn’t be happier for Kathryn and by extension Agatha to be the next Disney villain featured on such an iconic Disney souvenir. We’re always watching for who we’ll spot in Disney next! Be sure to stay tuned with us at Disney Food Blog for future celeb sightings. We Spotted a NEW Halloween Addition in Disneyland!
