You just had a great day at Magic Kingdom filled with sugary snacks, fun rides, and memories made. Magic Kingdom at night Of course, most of us want to be in the park as long as possible on our Disney vacation. If you’re like us, you got there at rope drop. While you might not be ready to call it a day, there are a few reasons you might want to pack it up and head out. Lighting At night, lighting around the Magic Kingdom can be sparse. Certain lands like Frontierland and Adventureland have very little light in them and can get DARK after the sun sets. MK at night The lighting is also reduced around the park during the fireworks for optimum viewing of them. So if there is lighting, it is usually turned off, especially around the hub and Main Street. Transportation Lines While you probably want to stay for Happily Ever After, the nighttime fireworks show at Magic Kingdom, there are some things to consider. A big issue we see a lot at night is the lines heading back to the Transportation and Ticket Center. After the fireworks end, there is usually a mad rush to the front of the park. You can get stuck in a long line at the monorail or ferry boat trying to get back to your car. Disney World But, that’s not all. If you think you lucked out because you’re staying at a Disney resort and just need to grab a bus back, think again. The buses also have long lines for them. While the buses do come frequently at closing, it can still be frustrating waiting for one to come pick you up. Crowds Continuing from Transportation lines, this also means there are CROWDS at night. Now, normally if you aren’t on Main Street or exiting the park, you won’t see too many crowds. Especially if you are in line for a ride right at park closing. Crowds after fireworks But Main Street gets crowded and it can be hard to walk here, much less push a stroller or wheelchair through here. The stores on Main Street can also be packed with people trying to do any last-minute souvenir shopping, so don’t anticipate being able to wait out the crowds there. Space Mountain at Night Instead, we recommend if you aren’t in a rush to get back to your hotel, head towards the back of the park to escape the crowds. You can browse through the shops back there as long as the park is still open. If you are looking to get one more ride in, you can actually get in line for a ride all the way up until the park closes. This means if the park closes at 9 PM, you can normally get in line for Space Mountain at 8:59 PM. Limited Options to Leave If you are leaving at a peak time and taking a ride share, be sure to factor in time for waiting on a ride. Since there could be several guests ordering a ride share at once, availability could vary depending on many factors. TTC Rideshare Also, be sure to stay aware of when transportation ends from the park. Disney buses and the monorail usually run one hour after the park closes. The resort launch boats from the park to the Grand Floridian, Wilderness Lodge, and other Disney hotels stop 45 minutes after the park is closed. Disney Bus Transportation We are definitely not saying that you should leave the park early, but these are things to keep in mind when you are planning on staying at Magic Kingdom late.

We are so excited about all the new restaurants coming to Disney World. Disney Springs At Disney’s Boardwalk Hotel, we can’t WAIT to eat at Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs. We also can’t WAIT to check out The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers. We’re also super stoked about some new restaurants coming to Disney Springs. Summer House on the Lake will have a DESSERT BAR. But we might be most excited about EET by Maneet Chauhan, which opens SOON. In fact, this location now has a new sign! We were taking a stroll through Disney Springs recently — as one does — and headed over to the Marketplace section of the shopping and dining district and noticed something new. The sign for EET is up! The sign is up! We recently had a chance to visit another restaurant by Maneet Chauhan in Nashville, Chauhan Ale & Masala House, and we were impressed. So, let’s just say seeing this restaurant one step closer to opening has us SUPER excited. Soon! There’s even a little note from Maneet Chauhan at the new Disney Springs location. Note from the chef We also recently posted the full menu and prices at EET, and we just think we’re going to have to order EVERYTHING when it opens. Um…EET, you had us at Bread Service. If you need to peek at the menu in Disney Springs, though, it’s also been posted in the restaurant’s window. Menu EET will be a counter-service location, meaning you can just pop in and grab a bite to eat pretty easily. The restaurant should be opening soon, so we’ll be sure to let you know when that happens and get you a full review! So stay tuned to DFB for more.

The holiday season has arrived in Disney World — and so have the festive snacks. Christmas in Magic Kingdom Now, you know us — we get excited about ALL the holiday snacks. This is the SEASON of pumpkin spice, eggnog, and peppermint, after all. So we were pretty excited to check out a brand NEW holiday Disney treat in Magic Kingdom. We found this new treat in Fantasyland at Cheshire Cafe (home to one of our favorite Disney World snacks, the Cheshire Cat Tail). It’s a Peppermint Éclair — yep, it’s an eclair with one of the CLASSIC flavors of the season. This is an Éclair filled with White Chocolate Peppermint Mousse and topped with Peppermint Mousse and Chocolate Pieces. Look at how pretty it is! Peppermint Eclair First off, we just have to mention that if you don’t like peppermint, don’t order this. The peppermint flavor is strong, but we thought it made the éclair taste SO fresh. It gave us York Peppermint Patty vibes, and we are HERE for it. But yes, this is not a subtle peppermint flavor. This is in your face minty fresh. This one is for you peppermint lovers. We really liked the addition of the chocolate square on top, especially since the decor on many of these treats is for looks only. Even the chocolate squares are good! The éclair shell is soft but with just enough crispiness to hold everything together. Inside, the mousse is creamy and decadent. We loved the nice, slightly dark chocolate flavor of this treat. It just melts in your mouth. YUM! Inside So, if you’d like to try this treat out for yourself, it’s available through December 31st — note that you can grab it via Mobile Order, too!

There is SO much to see and do in Disney World, and that includes things outside the theme parks. Cirque du Soleil theater There’s so much you could do just with hotel activities alone, but there are also some shows outside of the parks you may want to see.

We’re no strangers to unique treats in Disney World. Magic Kingdom We make it our mission to try TONS of new snacks in Disney World, even if they seem a little strange. Over time, we’ve found tons of options that we love and, of course, some that we don’t recommend. We recently headed over to Magic Kingdom to try one of the most…interesting…Skittles treats we’ve ever seen, and we’ll let you decide if it’s worth the cost. Over at the Main Street Confectionery, you can grab the Mickey Cereal Treat with Freeze Dried SKITTLES. Yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like — a Crisped Rice Cereal Treat dipped in a White Chocolatey Coating and topped with Freeze Dried Skittles candies for $6.49. Admittedly, this sounds like something a kid would create, but we’re not here to judge based on looks. Mickey Cereal Treat with Freeze-Dried SKITTLES The Mickey cereal treat and chocolate is very sweet and sugary; it’s a Disney classic, and you probably can imagine how it tastes. Our treat was very dense and had a good crispiness to each bite, and the freeze-dried Skittles were a lot of fun for a cute novelty treat! They remind us of those prepackaged astronaut snacks with their dry texture, but the Skittles managed to retain their flavor very well. Would you try this treat? However, we can’t say that these flavors go together well. Individually, they’re great, but together, the strong fruity flavor of Skittles and the prominent flavor of white chocolate fight each other for dominance. If eating a giant chocolate-covered Skittle doesn’t sound appealing, we recommend staying far away. This is an odd one, for sure. Looking for more Disney food reviews? We’ve got you covered!

When you walk down Main Street, U.S.A. in Disney World, you’re transported to another place. A place where the buildings are perfect, the people are friendly, and the music never stops. There’s a reason that it’s one of the first things you encounter when you enter Magic Kingdom! Dapper Dans If there’s one thing we love about Disney, it’s that impressive efficiency and seamless transition from the real world to Disney World. So when we run into any minor problem, it catches us off guard! But hey — nobody’s perfect. Next time you visit the Confectionery on Main Street, U.S.A., you might want to watch out for this Mobile Order problem. Fun fact: although the Main Street Confectionery isn’t your typical quick-service restaurant, this spot also offers Mobile Ordering! Main Street Confectionery Now, normally, we tell people that Mobile Order is a SUPER helpful way to save some time in line. It cuts the waiting out of the process since you can place your order ahead of time and schedule a pickup when you’re ready! But over at the Main Street Confectionery, we’ve noticed that the Mobile Order system isn’t quite so seamless. We love the Main Street Confectionery! Here’s the problem. We’ve placed Mobile Orders several times at this snack spot, and we’ve noticed a flaw with the system: we don’t see Cast Members at the counter very often! In our experience, even after arriving to claim our order at the counter, Cast Members are busy elsewhere, so we’re left watching and waiting for a nearby employee to help. Disney World Cast Members at The Confectionery At most other Disney World quick-service spots, Disney has one or more dedicated Cast Members posted at the Mobile Order pickup location to help. But since the Confectionery is also a retail location, those Cast Members are spread pretty thin! This shop is so much fun! We usually don’t have much trouble tracking someone down to help, but if you’re in a rush and are hoping to grab your food and go, be prepared to wait. In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more.

One of the most popular things to do in Disney parks is meet characters. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland In Disneyland, character experiences are tons of fun. Although you do have some traditional meet-and-greets, you’ll find a lot of characters just roaming around, especially in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. On any given day, you might bump into Din Djarin and Grogu, Ahsoka, Hera and Chopper, and more. Well, our FAVORITE roaming characters in Batuu just happen to be those adorable new droids Disney Imagineers have been testing. Now, we’ve got even MORE details about them. First, though, we have to talk about the amazing technology Disney Imagineers have used in creating these droids. These guys recently spent a day free-roaming around Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. They move fluidly and have personalities, and we can’t even imagine how much thought went into creating them. But then again — Disney is always about turning the impossible into the possible, right? ©Disney The droids were part of a test for free-roaming characters, and well, we think they passed with flying colors. The Disney Imagineers who created them also recently met with Disney CEO Bob Iger and Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products Josh D’Amaro to discuss what the “next steps” for the little guys might be. ©Disney Disney just revealed more details about these adorable little guys. They’re referred to as “legged walking character platform.” The “droids in training” even have a story (of course, they do; this is DISNEY). Imagineers worked with them so they could learn to express emotions. Disney even has technology that can make inexpensive 3D robotic characters very quickly. So we could have whole armies of these sweet droids. ©Disney It took both engineers and animators to create the droids. The engineers have created an electromechanical system that can walk and move, while animators have to artistically shape the way they move into personalities.  To say these little droids have stolen the hearts of everyone who has seen them is an understatement, but this technology could also be applied to other characters, too, including bigger ones. We can’t wait to see what Disney comes up with next with this technology, and we hope to see more of the droids in Disney Parks in the future. Stay tuned to DFB for more news!

Disney’s Animal Kingdom is a place where we can appreciate the beauty of nature. Disney’s Animal Kingdom What happens when that is no longer the case? We got some information recently that makes us nervous for the future of the beauty of one of our FAVORITE parks. We LOVE Disney’s Animal Kingdom for the tranquility, nature views and the overall ambiance it has to offer. It is a unique experience that you can’t find anywhere else. ©Disney At the 2023 Destination D23 fan convention, we found out that Disney plans to retheme Dinoland USA to the Tropical Americas. We got to thinking … and realized that this retheme could turn DAK into a construction zone, a la EPCOT. Lots of crowds and construction This retheme will change an ENTIRE section of the park, which means that the whole section will be closed down and walled off for the safety of guests and cast members alike. We understand the necessity– but it doesn’t make us dislike it any less. Dinoland, USA A bigger question might be– how long will this retheme take? The EPCOT construction walls have become more and more frustrating the longer they have been up (and we’re going on 4 years, y’all). Maybe the length of time the retheme will take won’t matter, and the walls will just be another obstacle to face when travelling around the park — I guess we’ll find out once construction begins. Is this goodbye to It’s Tough To Be A Bug? It doesn’t stop with the Dinoland retheme, though. Disney also announced that the Tree of Life Theater (current home to the “It’s Tough to be a Bug!” show) will be changed to host a Zootopia show. Its Tough to be a Bug Entrance from Discovery Island! While a lot of this retheme will be indoors, we can’t help but think about the construction that will be done in the queue and entrance, which is located in one of the main hubs of Discovery Island. We’re hoping they keep the construction walls there minimal so the area doesn’t become congested during peak seasons with heavy crowds. Tree of Life Garden It also led us to thinking– how will this impact the Tree of Life Gardens? The queue for “It’s Tough to be a Bug!” and the Tree of Life Gardens are very close to one another, and sometimes feel like they’re sharing walking paths. We hope it remains open with minimal construction walls obstructing our view, but we’ll have to wait and see. Waterfalls at Animal Kingdom With the construction walls that inevitably come up with these changes, we can at least hope that they’ll be themed to the areas that they’re in. We know they’re not ideal to have all over the park– but we’ll keep reminding ourselves that they are only temporary and we will probably LOVE what will come after them. Tree of Life With new information coming out about these rethemes, be sure to keep checking in with us at DFB to get the latest news! Click here to check out what’s new at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! How do you feel about the retheme at Animal Kingdom? Let us know in the comments below! The post We’ve Gotta Share Some Bad News About Disney’s Animal Kingdom first appeared on the disney food blog.

When it comes to nighttime entertainment, Disney goes ALL OUT. Disneyland Paris 30th anniversary fireworks show The fireworks shows alone in Disney parks are enough to blow your mind. Then there are shows like Fantasmic!, which are equally as amazing. However, many Disney fans still say the CLASSIC Main Street Electrical Parade is one of their favorite nighttime shows. Well, imagine that parade…but in the sky! That’s what Disneyland Paris will be doing soon. Now we have more details about that new show! The Disney Symphony of Colours celebration will actually bring TWO new shows to Disneyland Paris. The shows will include characters like Mickey, Minnie, Timon, Joy, and Mirabel. There’s a nighttime show AND a daytime show. ©Disney Now, we have more details about BOTH shows. The Disney Electrical Sky Parade will be a nighttime drone parade in the sky using synchronized drones, video projections, lights, and fountains across Sleeping Beauty Castle. The sky “will be transformed into a palette of colors” above the castle. Like we said, it’s like the Main Street Electrical Parade — but in the sky. We are SO in. The nighttime show starts on January 8th, 2024. ©Disney The nighttime show will feature up to 500 drones (whew, that’s a lot) acting as illuminated floats, and they’ll take shapes of floats from the Main Street Electrical Parade, including Elliott the dragon and Cinderella’s carriage. PLUS, the music of the Main Street Electrical parade has been remixed for the show. Y’all. This sounds amazing. ©Disney Disney released a video about how the nighttime show came together.  The daytime show/parade will be a “colorful, musical experience,” celebrating the animated films of Disney and Pixar with characters like Mickey, Mirabel, Stitch, and more. A Million Splashes of Color will have several performances throughout the day to “take guests on a journey through time to discover the stories of Disney Animation and Pixar — from timeless classics to the most recent hits.” ©Disney The colorful floats in the show will be inspired by art, music, and writing. Each float has its own identity and will be PACKED with Disney references. There are also two new original musical scores that include mashups of songs like “The Bare Necessities,” “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” “You’ve Got A Friend in Me,” and more. It will also feature loads of colorful dancers. The show starts on February 10th, 2024.  But there’s more! Main Street, U.S.A., in Disneyland Paris Park will feature new colorful decorations starting February 10th, 2024. Look out for “a twinkling of light and some flowery touches” to “wake up winter.” It seems Tinker Bell and her sister, Periwinkle, have been busy lightening up the place. ©Disney The new decorations are inspired by Art Nouveau and will feature over 50 Disney and Pixar characters, including Tiana, Elsa, Woody, and more.  All we can say is WOW. This sounds so beautiful, and we’d love to see it for ourselves. Note that these upcoming shows won’t stick around for long! The nighttime show starting in January will last through the end of September 2024, and the Pixar show starting in February will last through April 2024. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news.

Disney Springs is home to many of our favorite restaurants. Christmas tree in Disney Springs And now that it’s the holiday season, it’s also home to one of our favorite free activities — the Christmas Tree Stroll. But there are also plenty of special holiday offerings that you won’t want to miss, like the new Dole Whip Flight at Swirls on the Water! Swirls on the Water is THE place to go for Dole Whip in Disney Springs, and this month’s new Dole Whip Flight will cost you $7.99. It comes with three flavors — chocolate soft serve and salted caramel soft serve with caramel sauce and caramel crisp pearls, swirled pineapple and vanilla with a pineapple wedge, and cherry and pistachio soft serve with salted toasted pistachios and a maraschino cherry. Come along with us to rank them from worst to best! Before you freak out, we’re gonna start by saying this was not bad at all; it was just the least exciting to us out of the three we tried. The vanilla and pineapple is a classic combo we’ve had many times before. We enjoyed it again this time around, but it wasn’t anything special in our book. If you’ve had pineapple Dole Whip before, there won’t be any surprises here. But hey — you can’t go wrong with the classics! Vanilla and Pineapple OK, now let’s talk about the cherry and pistachio-flavored soft-serve. Cherry and pistachio — those flavors work together SO well! Aesthetically, the dark red and green colors were fun and festive, but really, we’re here to talk about that sweet, fruity FLAVOR! This one had a fruit punch-like taste to it, which we enjoyed. The saltiness of the pistachio was kind of lost with all the sweetness of the cherry soft-serve, but this was still a great combination. And now, the winner! We tried the chocolate and caramel swirl and LOVED it. It was our favorite of the three, and the flavor reminded us of Baileys Irish Cream liqueur. The salted caramel outshined the chocolate in this combo, but this was rich, decadent, and smooth — all the things you want in a caramel treat! Chocolate and Salted Caramel This flight may not contain the most groundbreaking trio of flavors we’ve ever seen, but sometimes, it’s nice to enjoy three sweet, simple treats on a hot Florida day. Swirls on the Water’s Dole Whip Flights are perfect for those who can’t quite commit to just one flavor or want to share with others! We’re always trying the latest treats in Disney Springs, so stay tuned to DFB for all the Disney news! These 50 amazing Disney Springs snacks are all under $10!

The holidays have arrived in Disneyland! The holidays in Disneyland Sleeping Beauty Castle is all dolled up for the occasion, and the decorations are up. The holiday popcorn buckets have arrived. Holiday merchandise is literally EVERYWHERE. The Disney California Adventure Festival of Holidays has started. Now we’ve got an update on one of the most ICONIC Disneyland holiday traditions: candy canes! The holiday candy canes are a VERY big deal at Disneyland. They’re hand-pulled and handcrafted by Cast Members. People stand in line for HOURS to get their hands on one. Now, we have ALL the details about when, where, and how you can get your hands on a Disneyland candy cane. Disneyland Candy Cane You’ll be able to pick up a candy cane at TWO locations this year: Candy Palace at Disneyland and Trolley Treats at Disney California Adventure. Here’s the schedule: Candy Palace: December 3rd, 5th, 10th, 12th, 17th, 19th, and 24th Trolley Treats: December 4th, 6th, 11th, 13th, 18th, 20th, and 25th ©Disney A mobile waitlist will be used because quantities are very limited. Once the mobile waitlist is activated each morning, you can add your name and phone number at the location. You’ll get a text back when it’s time for you to get in line to get your candy cane. Note that you’re only allowed to buy one candy cane at a time. We recommend getting to the park as early as possible to get on that waitlist as soon as you can since these tend to go fast. The famous Disneyland Candy Cane! Also, don’t do what we did last year with our candy cane. We accidentally dropped ours, and it broke. NOOOOO! So be sure to put it in a safe spot once you get your hands on one because it can be delicate.

Several long-term closures will affect the Disney World theme parks and hotels next week. For some of these closures, we still don’t know when they will end. Magic Kingdom Let’s check out all of the temporary closures in Disney World from November 19th through the 25th so that you’re prepared before your next trip. Magic Kingdom Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Splash Mountain closed on January 23rd for a long refurbishment. The ride is being re-themed to become Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, with a Princess and the Frog theme. More installation The new ride will reopen sometime in late 2024. We’ll be watching for more updates on the reopening timeline. The tree at the top of this ride has been removed as Disney continues construction, and several new rock structures have been built at the bottom of the drop. The queue area is being redone, and we recently saw some concrete added to this space. More progress There’s a new water tower as well, which says “Tiana’s Foods” on the front and “Never, ever lose sight of what’s really important” on the back. It’s topped with Tiana’s crown, which has two stars on it to represent Ray and Evangeline. In addition, Cast Members are currently working on a large mural that’s painted on the side of the queue building. Mural at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure If you miss Splash Mountain or want to celebrate the new ride, you should check out our DFB t-shirts! We have a Splash Mountain Farwell Tour shirt… DFB Exclusive! …and a Tiana tee as well! Check out our new Tiana-inspired merch! You can shop both tees (and lots of other Disney merch) at our online store. Click here to shop our DFB merchandise store. Barrel Bridge on Tom Sawyer’s Island The Barrel Bridge on Tom Sawyer’s Island is not only closed — it’s missing completely! Barrel Bridge Is Missing A Cast Member told us a few months ago that it was removed for repairs, and we haven’t seen it back since. We’ll be keeping an eye out for its return. Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant Tomorrowland Terrace is a quick service restaurant that’s remained closed since the 2020 pandemic-related closures, but even before that, this spot was only occasionally open. Tomorrowland Terrace It’s been a LONG time since we’ve seen this restaurant open for visitors. Pretty much the only thing it’s used for now is the Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Parties. We saw it open in late 2020, when it was serving some favorites from Columbia Harbour House‘s menu while that restaurant was temporarily closed. Once in a while, you’ll see the dining area open as a rest area, but usually it’s all roped off and empty. Disney hasn’t announced when this spot could finally reopen, but we’ll be watching for updates! We’ve Ridden Every Ride in Magic Kingdom — These Are the BEST EPCOT Restaurant Marrakesh Almost all of the restaurants that were closed in EPCOT during the 2020 park closure have reopened, but Restaurant Marrakesh in the Morocco Pavilion is still closed with no word on when it will reopen. Restaurant Marrakesh Since closing, the empty restaurant has been used as a relaxation station, a lounge…pretty much everything but dining. Recently, we saw that the hedges that were previously in front of the entrance have been removed and the space is once again open as a lounge. We’re hoping the restaurant returns soon! Everything We Know About EPCOT’s New Fireworks Show Disney’s Hollywood Studios Voyage of the Little Mermaid Voyage of the Little Mermaid is a stage show located in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It closed with the rest of the parks in 2020 for the pandemic-related shut-down, but even after the parks reopened and the rest of the entertainment slowly returned as well, this attraction remained closed. Voyage of the Little Mermaid Disney hasn’t announced when or if the Voyage of the Little Mermaid will reopen. However, we have some hope for the show. Disney released this new pin in March 2022 celebrating the 30th anniversary of the attraction, which seems like something they wouldn’t do if they were going to close the show for good. Although we haven’t heard anything definitive about Voyage of the Little Mermaid, we have hope that it could reopen sometime in the future! We’ll be sure to let you know about any updates We met 3 rare characters at Hollywood Studios! Disney World Hotels 1900 Park Fare at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort At Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, 1900 Park Fare is a table service restaurant where you could meet characters like Mary Poppins and Alice in Wonderland at their Supercalifragilistic Breakfast and Cinderella and her Prince Charming during the Cinderella’s Happily Ever After Dinner. Dining Room at 1900 Park Fare (2019) They also had a special event for younger children called the Wonderland Tea Party. It’s sad to see a spot closed that had so much character interaction! Disney hasn’t announced a permanent closure, so there is hope for 1900 Park Fare. With 1900 Park Fare closed…you’ll need this SECRET spot to get afternoon tea in Disney World!

November 18th is a very important day in Disney history. It’s Mickey’s birthday! Why? Because it’s Mickey Mouse’s birthday! Yep, Mickey was “born” into the world when “Steamboat Willie” first debuted on November 18th, 1928. We’ve already told you about how Disneyland and Disney World are celebrating, as well as how a once-a-year event marks the occasion in Magic Kingdom. Well, we’ve got some videos celebrating Mickey’s big day that are SURE to make you smile (and maybe cry a little, too). To celebrate Mickey’s 95th birthday, Disney has released a video called “True Original.” The video will play before Disney’s newest animated movie, Wish, during early screenings. The video highlights Mickey’s long (and impressive!) career, with quotes from Walt Disney and others. This one sure gave us the warm fuzzies. It all started with a mouse, after all. So how can YOU celebrate Mickey’s birthday at home? Well, if you have Disney+, you can watch a ton of Mickey shorts, TV shows, movies, and more. Just curl up on your sofa with your favorite Mickey plush and spend a night with the most famous Mouse on Earth. Happy Birthday, Mickey! Is Disney “Retiring” Mickey Mouse?

While it’s the most wonderful time of the year at Disney World right now, it’s also usually one of the busiest. EPCOT The festive decor, the delicious seasonal treats, and the exclusive parties — Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights — can draw huge crowds to the park. However, when looking at the average wait times we noticed something strange…the wait times are trending DOWN! That’s right — we’re actually bringing you GOOD news about the wait times at Disney World around this time of year. Take a look at the average wait times at each Disney World attraction from the past week. Magic Kingdom Starting in Magic Kingdom, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had the longest average wait time of 63 minutes. Last week the average wait time was 79 minutes so the average has decreased a lot. The Jingle Cruise is here! Next, Peter Pan’s Flight averaged 56 minutes, Jingle Cruise averaged 49 minutes, Haunted Mansion averaged 35 minutes, and Space Mountain averaged 34 minutes.

Carrousel The Country Bear Jamboree and Tom Sawyer Island were walk-ons this week. You Have to Be QUICK to See This SECRET Event in Magic Kingdom’s Fantasyland EPCOT Heading over to EPCOT, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure had the highest wait time with a 76-minute average, which has decreased since last week’s 79-minute average. Frozen Ever After has the spot for the second-longest with a 73-minute average. This is actually a slight increase from last week’s average. Frozen Ever After Next up is Test Track at 58 minutes, Soarin’ at 37 minutes, Mission: SPACE, Spaceship Earth, and Turtle Talk with Crush at 17 minutes, Journey into Imagination at 14 minutes, The Seas with Nemo and Friends and Living with the Land averaged 13 minutes, and Gran Fiesta Tour averaged 11 minutes. The Seas Awesome Planet, Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along, Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival, Impressions de France, and Reflections of China had no wait times this week. There’s a NEW Reason to Visit EPCOT’s Living With the Land Attraction! Hollywood Studios Slinky Dog Dash decreased this week from an 89-minute average to a 71-minute average. Rise of the Resistance is next in this park with 66 minutes which is down a bit from 77 minutes last week. Kylo Ren in Rise of the Resistance Other wait times in the park increased this week including Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway at 52 minutes, Toy Story Mania at 51 minutes, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at 49 minutes, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at 44 minutes, and Tower of Terror at 42 minutes.

We can’t tell you how thrilled we’ve been to check out Hong Kong Disneyland. Being in Arendelle has been AMAZING The experience has been SO magical, especially now that we’ve had a chance to see World of Frozen, meet the Frozen characters, and ride Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs and Frozen Ever After. But we also had a chance to eat some food available at Hong Kong Disneyland, and there was one restaurant that stood out to us. In fact, we would make the trip to Hong Kong ALL OVER AGAIN to eat there. We had a special opportunity to eat at the Crystal Lotus at the Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel. Y’all — we are STILL thinking about that food. This restaurant has won awards, and now we know why. Now, we do have to mention our meal may look a little different, as we were invited to a special Crystal Lotus dinner by Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. That said, several of the items we tried are on the regular menu, including the Disney Friends Dim Sum, the Double-boiled Chicken Broth, and the Crispy De-boned Short Rib. Menu for the evening OK, look at this Disney Friends Dim Sum. Excuse us, but this might be the MOST FUN FOOD we’ve ever eaten. These are dim sum buns that look like Disney and Pixar characters. We CAN’T EVEN. This is what the Dim Sum looks like. How adorable are these? Disney Friends Dim Sum Obviously, this wins EVERYTHING just on looks alone. So we got to try Piglet, Eeyore, and Donald. The Piglet Seafood and Chicken Bun was our favorite — the breading was so light and fluffy with an inside that was cooked to perfection without being rubbery. The seafood in it was shrimp. Piglet! The Eeyore Dim Sum had Red Bean Puree in it, which gave it an interesting texture. It was a little on the sweet side with the same breading. Eeyore The Donald Dim Sum had a green bean paste inside, which meant the flavor was more herbaceous, although it also had some sweetness. We weren’t big fans of this one, though (sorry, Donald), because it gave us baby food vibes. Was this the best Dim Sum we’ve ever had? Probably not. Was it the most fun? DEFINITELY. But one important note: the Disney Friends Dim Sum is available daily for lunch, but it must be ordered at least 24 hours prior to your visit. Donald We also had the Honey-glazed Iberico Barbecue Pork, which wowed us. The pork belly was wonderfully fatty with a sweet glaze. We only wish we had more than two pieces, but hey, we had to save room for more, so maybe it was for the best. Honey Glazed Iberico Barbecue Pork We never expected to get excited about something like chicken broth, but the Double-Boiled Chicken Broth with Conpoy and Maitake Mushrooms was UH-MAZING. It was so heartwarming, like something that soothes the soul when you eat it. We liked how savory it was, too; you mostly get a chicken broth flavor, but it has way more depth than just your regular old chicken broth. Double-boiled chicken broth Remember how we said this restaurant has won awards? Well, the award was for the Crispy De-Boned Short Ribs in Sichuan Sauce, and we now understand why. The pastry is so flaky and crispy. The ribs just fell apart with incredibly tender meat. Y’all — we just used our chopsticks with it because that’s all you need. The spice is very subtle. We wish we weren’t trying to be all professional here because we wanted to pick up the bowl and lick it. This dish is available on the regular menu, and we highly recommend giving it a try. Crispy De-Boned Short Ribs The Braised Crab Claw was visually more interesting than everything else (except for maybe the Dim Sum). But this was our least favorite thing we ate. The flavor was okay as a salty crab, but it seemed overcooked. The texture was rubbery when biting into it. However, the sweet-and-sour sauce on the side added a nice touch. Braised Crab Claw However, the Braised Vegetable Dumplings impressed us. This was SO different, but we loved everything about it. The broth was delicious, and the dumplings were cooked to be soft but were still firm enough to hold their shape. These aren’t cooked in a typical dumpling wrapper but in a thin egg-based wrapper. The vegetables were also cooked well — they were soft but not mushy. This had such a unique look and flavor profile versus a typical dumpling. Braised Vegetable Dumplings For dessert, we had the Sago Cream with Pomelo, and if you told us we were going to eat what is basically orange soup, we would have laughed at you. But here we are, and we are shocked at how sweet and creamy it was. The fruit bits, too, added some nice texture. It’s also served with fruit on the side for dipping, but we thought the “soup” was a little too thin for dipping. But, yeah, color us surprised. Sago Cream with Pomelo Overall, most of what we had pretty much knocked our socks off, and we loved just how unique some of these foods really are. We might be a tad bit disappointed when we return to Disney World, though, and can’t get Dim Sum shaped like Disney characters (ahem…Disney World, GET ON THAT). In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more.

There are literally hundreds of restaurants inside Disney World, ranging from snack stands to luxurious, Michelin-starred restaurants. How do you know where you can go to avoid breaking the bank on your next trip? New items at Backlot Express We’ve analyzed the menu of EVERY quick service restaurant in the Disney World theme parks to figure out which ones are the CHEAPEST in each park. If you’re planning a budget-friendly vacation, this is the guide for you! A couple of quick caveats before we begin… First, we only looked at quick service restaurants. We left out the table service restaurants (which will almost always be more expensive than the cheap service options) and snack stands. Menu We defined a snack stand as anywhere where you CAN’T get a full meal. If the stand or kiosk didn’t sell full entrées, it didn’t make the list. Note that we do sometimes love snacking around the parks instead of eating full meals, so it’s always an option to just grab a few different snacks and make those into your lunch! Nigiri Combo We also only looked at quick service restaurants inside the theme parks. There are lots more options at the Disney World hotels and in Disney Springs! If y’all like this post and want us to do the same thing for the hotels and Springs, let us know in the comments. Now that you know the rules, let’s get into the cheapest quick service restaurants in every single Disney World park. Magic Kingdom Pinocchio Village Haus Pinocchio Village Haus is our winner for the cheapest quick service in Magic Kingdom! Entrées at this spot range from $9.79 to $12.79. Pinocchio Village Haus Most of the entrées are $12.79, including all the flatbreads. There are a few different flatbread flavors here, like the Buffalo Chicken Flatbread and the Pepperoni Flatbread. Buffalo Chicken Flatbread The cheapest entrée is the Caesar Salad. You can add chicken to it, which brings the price up to $11.79, and you can also grab Chicken Strips for $10.99. Runner-Up: Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café The next cheapest option at Magic Kingdom is Cosmic Ray’s! Entrées range from $9.99 to $13.49. One of the ordering Bays This Tomorrowland quick service spot has burgers, chicken sandwiches, chicken strips, and a couple of salads on the menu. Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe Spread Most of the options fall in the $12-$13 category, but you can get a Greek Salad for just $9.99, or snag some Chicken Strips for $10.99.

Plus, it’s the cheapest quick service option in Hollywood Studios. Dockside Diner restaurant At Dockside Diner, the menu has a few different kinds of hot dogs and Bacon Macaroni and Cheese. If you just can’t decide between those two options, grab the Bacon Macaroni & Cheese Hot Dog! Bacon Mac & Cheese Hot Dog A plain hot dog and the mac ‘n’ cheese each cost a little over $10, and the two specialty hot dogs each cost $12.79. Runner-Up: Woody’s Lunch Box If you’re not in the mood for hot dogs, head over to Woody’s Lunch Box, which also has plenty of cheap meal options. Woody’s Lunch Box The Grilled Three-Cheese Sandwich is just $10.29 (pro-tip: get it with a side of Tomato-Basil Soup for an extra $3.99), and one of our FAVORITE lunches in all of the park — the Totchos — is $10.49. Totchos We also like the BBQ Brisket Melt, but that’s a bit more expensive at $13.29. BBQ Brisket Melt Don’t forget that you can find plant-based options for the Totchos and Grilled Cheese here. Price Ranges of the Other Hollywood Studios Quick Service Restaurants: Catalina Eddie’s — $11.29 – $11.99 Docking Bay 7 — $14.79 – $18.99 Ronto Roasters — $12.29 – $13.29 ABC Commissary — $10.79 – $12.99 Backlot Express — $10.79 – $15.29 PizzeRizzo — $10.99 – $12.29 Rosie’s All-American Cafe — $10.99 – $14.79 Fairfax Fare — $10.49 – $15.29 EPCOT Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie Despite the fact that Les Halles has the cheapest lunch option in EPCOT, we always end up spending way too much there because everything looks SO. GOOD. Les Halles However, if you go in with a budget, you can get some really tasty options that definitely won’t break the bank. We love the Bisque de Homard, which is just $6.95, for lunch! Bisque de Homard Other great lunch options include the Croissant Jambon Fromage for $8.95 and the Quiche Lorraine for $7.95. Quiche Lorraine Don’t forget to grab dessert!

In the end, we decided to include it but give you TWO runner-up options. Smiling Crocodile Smiling Crocodile has a few different kinds of tacos! Grab the Pulled Pork Street Tacos, Chicken Street Tacos, or the Street Corn Tacos. TACOS! All come with a side of chips and salsa, which kicks these up from a snack to more of a meal. TACOS for days! Each taco dish costs $9.99, or you can get just a side of chips and salsa on its own for $4.99. Runners-Up: Pizzafari and Restaurantosaurus Pizzafari is the next cheapest option, with several entrée options under $12. Pizzafari There’s a Chicken Parmesan Sandwich for $11.99, a Cheese Pizza for $11.29, or a Caesar Salad with Chicken for $11.99. Chicken Parmesan Sandwich The pizza here isn’t our favorite (there are more interesting, unique eats in Animal Kingdom), but it’s a cute restaurant with very familiar, approachable menu items. The whole spread! The next runner-up is Restaurantosaurus in DinoLand U.S.A. Restaurantosaurus in Animal Kingdom Restaurantosaurus has pretty classic theme park food — think hot dogs, burgers, chicken nuggets, etc. There’s a Cobb Salad on the menu, too, if you want a healthier option!
