Disney World probably releases thousands of pieces of merchandise each year. Merchandise in Disney World Across that giant collection, we’ve seen a wide variety of souvenirs. We’ve seen items that were ridiculously expensive, items that made us scratch our heads in confusion, and of course, the incredibly popular items that FLEW off the shelves. It’s not too often that we see something disappear from the parks in a day, but when we do, we take notice. And there’s one souvenir that has been hard to find that we KEEP getting asked about! DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. As a theme park reporter, I visit Disney World multiple times a week. And when I do, I usually keep a park bag packed for convenience (it’s easy to just grab my already-packed bag on the way out the door!). But during my past few visits to the parks, it hasn’t been my bag that’s catching attention — it has been what’s ON it. Magic Kingdom Currently attached to the strap of my park bag is the Ahsoka Tano nuiMO. You may recognize her from Star Wars hits like The Mandalorian, The Clone Wars, Star Wars: Rebels, and more recently, her own show Ahsoka on Disney+. Near the end of her show’s run, Disney dropped a nuiMO version of the popular character in the parks, and I purchased her on the first day she came out. But since then, she has been very difficult to find in gift shops around Disney World! Disney+ Now, when I’m walking around the parks for my job, I get stopped consistently 5-10 times a day for someone to ask me about my nuiMO! The only store I’ve seen her in recently is Star Traders in Magic Kingdom, but that’s not doable for everyone. However, the good news is that she’s still available online! Right now, you can snag the Ahsoka Tano Disney nuiMOs Plush on shopDisney. Ahsoka nuiMO The soft plush is posable and can be dressed up in any of the matching nuiMOs outfits (that you purchase separately). They released an Ahsoka-inspired dress-and-shoes set alongside the plush that’s available online as well. GET THE AHSOKA NUIMO HERE! So if you want to be in on the hottest trends or you’re a big Ahsoka fan, hurry and snag this souvenir online before it starts selling out there as well! (And if you want to display it on your backpack the way I do, all you need is a hair tie to wrap around each nuiMO arm and underneath your bag strap — it’s the perfect way to take your plush pal along on your park adventures.) We’ll keep you in the loop with any more hot Disney merchandise, so stay tuned to DFB for the latest!

CELEBRATION, Fla. (Oct. 24, 2023) – Today, at the height of spooky season, Disney Cruise Line reveals the Haunted Mansion Parlor, an all-new bar inspired by the iconic Disney Parks attraction, The Haunted Mansion. Foolish mortals will sip spirited craft cocktails among 999 happy haunts for the first time inside this new venue on board the Disney Treasure when it sets sail in December 2024. The one-of-a-kind experience will invite guests to partake in the next chapter of the Haunted Mansion, focused on the story of a jovial captain who entered the ghostly realm after a disastrous dinner with his beloved fiancé. A custom musical arrangement inspired by the attraction’s original score arranged and adapted by composer Shruti Kumar and Walt Disney Imagineering will set the stage for an ever-escalating anthology of illusions that immerses guests into the mysterious lore of the Haunted Mansion. Legendary characters from Haunted Mansion attractions at Disney Parks around the world, as well as new seafaring arrivals, will come out to socialize in mysterious ways throughout the experience. The venue will follow the nostalgic art style of the original 1969 Disney Parks classic, and true to the original attraction, the Haunted Mansion Parlor will blend humor with Disney’s own distinct brand of spooky storytelling. The design of the Haunted Mansion Parlor will be reminiscent of a first-class drawing room from the classic cruise liners of the golden age, invoking inspiration from the original Haunted Mansion with a nautical twist. The lounge will include tributes to the Disney Parks attractions, from the iconic purple wallpaper framed by wooden finishes to a mantel clock atop an inviting fireplace to a distinctive purple armchair tucked in the corner. Guests will also encounter a few new ghoulish faces in a portrait gallery depicting the Disney Treasure’s own ghostly residents. Deliciously Chilling Drinks At the Haunted Mansion Parlor, guests will sample from a selection of ghostly cocktails that capture the spirit of the famed theme park attraction, The Haunted Mansion. Blood orange and sour cherry flavors will harmonize in a shimmering zero proof cocktail served in a specialty mug aptly titled, Sympathetic Libations. The Ghoulish Delight will be an ube-flavored treat that everyone will be able to enjoy. The drink, with hints of sweetness and nuttiness, will incorporate decadent ube fudge, oat milk and tapioca pearls in a purple concoction garnished with a gummy eyeball and ube glitter. A spooky twist on a classic margarita, presented to guests amidst a swirl of flavored smoke, will be another signature drink at the Haunted Mansion Parlor. Topped with a lemon salt foam, this tequila-based cocktail will contain a secret message, only to be revealed by black light. Mysterious Merchandise The new bar venue will introduce an exclusive array of haunted homewares and spooky souvenirs to the shops onboard the Disney Treasure: The Haunted Mansion Parlor Music Box will be a keepsake inspired by the eerie music box that will play a melodic soundtrack inside the Haunted Mansion Parlor. As the rumors go, this mysterious box belonged to the captain’s bride-to-be and only opens in the presence of malevolent spirits. Honoring the memorable grandfather clock seen in the original Disney Parks attraction, the Haunted Parlor Mantle Clock will loom over the fireplace inside the venue, instigating mysterious happenings when it strikes 13.

Do you remember Disney Enchantment? Enchantment The fireworks show first premiered in 2021 for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary and replaced Happily Ever After in Magic Kingdom. The show ran for the 18-month duration of the Anniversary celebrations, ending in early 2023 so that Happily Ever After could come back. But now, there’s a chance for you to see Disney Enchantment AGAIN! Disney World has announced that After Hours events are returning to Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT in 2024. At Magic Kingdom, the event will take place on select nights from January 11th through April 8th, and will include an exciting addition…Disney Enchantment! Disney Enchantment from Main Street, U.S.A. Disney shared that Enchantment will return exclusively for After Hours visitors, meaning that you’ll only get to see the show if you purchased an After Hours ticket. After Hours runs from 10PM to 1AM at Magic Kingdom, but you can enter the park as early as 7PM. So if you arrive early, you’ll actually be able to catch both Happily Ever After (during regular park hours) and Enchantment in one night — this is the first time that has ever been possible! Empty queues during After Hours in Magic Kingdom If you missed Disney Enchantment, then you might want to start budgeting for your After Hours ticket now! Tickets go on sale for those staying at Walt Disney World Resorts, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels, and Shades of Green on November 7th. You can purchase by calling 407-W-Disney. Everyone else can get tickets starting November 14th, 2023. No crowds during After Hours in Magic Kingdom! Prices range from $155 to $175 for Magic Kingdom, not including tax.

It’s no secret to anyone how much we love Disney. We talk about it all day, every day, for our jobs! Disney’s Animal Kingdom However, there are plenty of aspects of Disney vacations that stress us out — huge crowds, long lines, and high prices, just to name a few. Some of these grind our gears so much that we’re calling for them to be BANNED in Disney World. Rude Guests Listen, we totally understand that while Disney World is as magical as can be, things can still be very stressful. And if things start to go wrong, your day may turn sour. That’s very frustrating, BUT it’s never an excuse to be rude to fellow guests or Cast Members. Cast Member at Kiosk Stand Stress, paired with the Florida heat, not to mention hunger or thirst if you haven’t grabbed anything to chow down on in a little while, is a terrible recipe for a bad mood. It’s important to know yourself well enough to recognize when you’re too angry or frustrated to regulate your emotions, that way you can take a step back to collect yourself. Aloha Isle Crowds Cast Members will typically do anything they can to help you solve your issue if you’re being kind about it. Cast Members can only do so much though, so don’t get angry at them if your issue doesn’t have an easy fix. They’re just following the rules they’ve been told, and fellow guests around you are trying to have a magical day, just like you. If you feel you may be slipping into rude territory, find some AC and take some deep breaths — there’s no shame in taking a breather! Balloons During Fireworks We know many of you aren’t a fan of balloons in general (we have some members of our team who feel the same), HOWEVER we think we can all agree that balloons blocking your view during fireworks is not fun. Balloons Balloons are great souvenirs for kids and adults alike, but they float pretty high in the air and can easily block the view of fireworks and castle projections for the people behind you. You don’t want these in your way! So if you’ve got a balloon on your stroller, or held in your hand, please remember to lower it as much as you can before the show begins — no one wants their view to be blocked! High Genie+ Prices Well, this one is entirely out of our hands, but we would LOVE it if we could ban those wildly high Genie+ prices. ©Disney Disneyland recently announced a price increase for Genie+, so it’s possible we could see one for Disney World as well. Even as it currently stands, Genie+ can get up to $28-$29 per person per day on busy days, and that’s a lot to spend just to skip lines. ©Disney You’re already spending so much money on Disney World tickets and hotel accommodations, it would be nice to not have to spend another fortune to not spend half your day waiting in ride lines. Price Increases This one will, quite literally, never happen, but we so wish we could ban price increases in Disney World! A busy day in Magic Kingdom We see them nearly every year — increases on food, merchandise, ticket prices, and nearly everything in between. It gets harder and harder every year to plan a budget for a future trip because you never know how prices are going to change for the next year. Galaxy’s Edge It’s a big reason why many families have stopped planning trips to Disney World at all — it’s no longer in their budget and just continues to get more and more expensive. We think everyone should be able to experience the magic of Disney World, so if we could ban these increases, we would in a heartbeat!

Big news for creatures of the night! Disney Enchantment If you’re a night owl instead of an early riser or just simply want more time in the parks then you’re going to be happy to hear this news. Disney has just announced that After Hours Events are returning to Walt Disney World beginning in January for three of the parks! Let’s check out the details. Starting in January 2024, you’ll be able to have access to the parks after hours with lower wait times and complimentary treats. You’ll get to see Cinderella Castle and Spaceship Earth twinkling under the night sky for an additional three hours! Yep, Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT are all getting new dates for Disney After Hours Events. It’s so pretty at night Disney After Hours is a special ticketed event that allows only a limited number of people to stay in the parks for three extra hours after park close. This gives you access to the park at night with lower wait times and allows you to experience the magic a little longer. During these events, you’ll not only have access to the rides, but also to complimentary snacks such as ice cream novelties, popcorn, and select beverages at certain locations around the park. Tower of Terror These events will take place starting January 11th through April 8th, 2024 in Magic Kingdom from 10PM to 1AM. Over at Hollywood Studios, you can stay late from 9:30PM to 12:30 AM starting January 10th through April 10th, 2024. And EPCOT will host the events from 10PM to 1AM starting February 2nd through April 4, 2024. All three parks will let you start your visit at 7PM for even extra excitement! Hollywood Studios at night But that’s not all! During these special events in Magic Kingdom, you’ll be able to see the nighttime fireworks show Enchantment as it makes its return exclusively for the Disney After Hours events. So that means, if you arrive in the park early, you’ll have the opportunity to see both fireworks shows, Happily Ever After and Enchantment! Magic Kingdom also has a standby queue planned for TRON Lightcycle/ Run during these events. Enchantment Those staying at a Disney World Resort hotel, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels, and Shades of Green can start purchasing tickets on November 7th, 2023 by calling 407-W-Disney. All others can purchase event tickets starting November 14th. Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios tickets range from $155-$175 and EPCOT tickets range from $149-$159. Specially priced tickets are available for Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members. Journey of Water at Night Disney at night and after hours is the most special time to be in the park. As Disney themselves said, “There’s something about Walt Disney World Resort at night that just hits differently” We hope to see you there!

A NEW holiday party is kicking off in Disney World in just a few weeks! ©Disney Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is brand-new this year and features exclusive parties, rare characters, and LOTS of treats and snacks. But one of the biggest advantages of going to these exclusive Disney events is that you can get on popular rides with little to no wait! Here’s what you need to know about getting on the most popular ride in Hollywood Studios during Jollywood Nights. Star War: Rise of the Resistance has been super popular ever since it opened in 2019. For a long time, the ride utilized a virtual queue rather than a standby line. Now, it usually has a standby line (along with the option to purchase a Lightning Lane pass if you want to skip that line). However, that virtual queue is returning for Jollywood Nights! ©Disney During Jollywood Nights, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will be accessible ONLY through the virtual queue. Rise of the Resistance Disney announced that “guests will need to use the My Disney Experience app to enter Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance on the day of the event. A standby queue for this attraction will not be available during the event. Each Guest can request to enter this virtual queue no more than once per event.” Rise of the Resistance Entrance If you have a ticket for the party, you can enter the virtual queue on the My Disney Experience app starting at 8PM. Only party guests are able to join this queue — guests without a Jollywood Nights ticket do not have access to the 8PM virtual queue. So make sure your Jollywood Nights ticket is linked to your My Disney Experience account before the day of the party! Kylo Ren in Rise of the Resistance You do NOT have to be inside Hollywood Studios to request to join the queue when it becomes available. Just hop on the app wherever you are and request to join. Hollywood Studios Rise of the Resistance is of course not the only ride that will be open during Jollywood Nights! Disney has also confirmed that Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, Slinky Dog Dash, and Tower of Terror will be available. The list ends with “and more!”, so we’re expecting that several other rides will be open as well (Disney just hasn’t released the full list yet). Slinky Dog Dash We’ll be bringing you ALL the coverage of Jollywood Nights when it first debuts on November 11th, so stay tuned to DFB for all the latest updates!

There are SO many options to choose from when deciding where to stay on property at Walt Disney World! Coronado Spings With the three tiers of hotels (value, moderate, and deluxe), you know that the higher the tier, the more amenities you’ll have at your resort, the “fancier” the hotel will be, AND the more EXPENSIVE too! We’re all about giving you ways to save a buck, so let’s go over some moderate hotels that you can get for those vale hotel prices! This is our mission: To Stay in a Moderate Hotel With a Value Resort Budget in Disney World. So, let’s talk about it and go over the numbers! Just to be clear, we’re trying to find the times the moderate hotels are very close to the same price as the value hotels (it might be during off-peak times, or possibly some are already similar value hotel prices just normally). With that in mind, we searched four different times of the year, some off-peak, some not, and this is what we found: For a 12/11/23-12/17/23 stay, we found these rates: ©Disney Pop Century – $205.25 (FL rate) / $273.67 (Standard rate) Coronado Springs – $244.07 (FL rate) / $348.67 (Standard rate) Port Orleans Riverside – $248.03 (FL rate) / $354.33 (Standard rate) Caribbean Beach – $288.50 (FL rate) / $384.67 (Standard rate) Port Orleans French Quarter – $301.18 (FL rate) / $354.33 (Standard rate) Art of Animation – $443.57 (FL rate) / $633.67 (Standard rate) It’s interesting that Art of Animation was the MOST expensive option, ranging from about $150-200 more expensive than the other options. For a 1/8/24-1/14/24 stay, we found these rates: ©Disney Pop Century – $156.33 (FL rate) / $186.00 (Standard rate) Coronado – $198.42 (FL rate) / $246.50 (Standard rate) Port Orleans French Quarter – $216.92 (FL rate) / $269.83 (Standard rate) Port Orleans Riverside – $216.92 (FL rate) / $269.83 (Standard rate) Caribbean Beach – $263.55 (FL rate) / $275.17 (Standard rate) Art of Animation – $396.50 (FL rate) / $473.33 (Standard rate) Again, the Art of Animation was the MOST expensive option, ranging from about $150-200 more expensive than the other options. For a 4/08/24-4/14/24 stay, these were the rates we found: ©Disney Art of Animation – $208.67 per night Pop Century – $224.83 per night Caribbean Beach – $356 per night Coronado – $337.33 per night Port Orleans French Quarter – $362 per night Port Orleans Riverside – $362 per night This time, the Art of Animation was the LEAST expensive option. The Port Orleans resorts were the MOST expensive options ranging from about $100-150 more expensive than the other options. There’s currently no Florida resident discount available for these dates. And for a 7/08/24-7/14/24 stay, this is what we were seeing: ©Disney Pop Century – $236.00 per night Coronado – $283.67 per night Art of Animation – $284.33 per night Port Orleans French Quarter – $302.00 per night Port Orleans Riverside – $302.00 per night Caribbean Beach – $306.00 per night. (Those four moderates were the closest to AOA prices. Only about $20 more. Coronado was actually about $1 less. Once again, there is no Florida resident discount for these dates.) This time, the Pop Century was the LEAST expensive option. Caribbean Beach was the MOST expensive option ranging from about $4-70 more expensive than the other options. As you can see, if you want luxury but you’re also on a budget, then Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort might be the moderate resort to book! Gran Destino Tower at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort This resort is GORGEOUS — especially the Gran Destino Tower section of this hotel, which opened back in 2019. Dig Site Coronado Springs also has the biggest hot tub on Disney property! You can find it over at the Dig Site — a pool area themed around the Mayan ruins. Pros: Dining options, only Moderate with a Club Level, large hot tub/Dig Site pool area Cons: only Bus transportation, large resort Coronado Springs has a LOT of dining and a lot of variety. Dahlia Lounge Despite being a bit far from everything, you can see the EPCOT AND Hollywood Studios fireworks from Gran Destino’s Dahlia Lounge. Want to see more of Coronado Springs? Click here! There are plenty of pros and cons to all the different hotels in Disney World, and we’re here to help walk you through which hotels are the best to stay at for your next vacation, so stay tuned to DFB for all the latest Disney news, tips, and tricks!

Most of the time when we’re at the Disney Parks, we come across food that sounds delicious and practical. However, on occasion, we do find meals and snacks that make us scratch our heads. Groot at Disney California Adventure’s Avengers Campus Sometimes if something looks weird and sounds weird, it can taste pretty weird as well. We’ve had our fair share of surprises both good and bad so we’ll always reserve judgment until after we’ve eaten what we set out to try. Still, we’re game to try anything — even chocolate-coated pizza crust in this case! Over at Disney California Adventure in Anaheim, we made our way over to Terran Treats at Avengers Campus to try the Type 526: Chocolate-Cherry Pie. On the outside, a chocolate cherry pie sounds like an instant hit. That being said, this one comes with a bit of a caveat. The Type 526: Chocolate-Cherry Pie at Terran Treats in Disney California Adventure This pie comes with a chocolate-coated pizza crust, cherry pie filling, and slivered almonds with a chocolate cherry sauce. We enjoy the churro concoctions at Terran Treats and, honestly, we would’ve preferred a churro instead of the pizza crust. You can find this dessert at Avengers Campus! The crust was crunchier than we would’ve liked and was more difficult than necessary to bite into. The inside of the crust was fortunately a lot softer. We weren’t the biggest fans of the pizza crust As for the flavor, we had a mixed reaction. Our treat tasted a bit burnt initially, almost as if it had been heated up too long. The chocolate sauce and cherry filling blended into one flavor, which wasn’t good or bad but made it hard to get distinctive flavors. Still, the overall flavor of rich chocolate and hints of sweet cherry was mostly pleasant. This treat costs $7.75, and we think it’s really up to you if you feel it’s worth it. Our pie didn’t really look like the one pictured at Terran Treats, and there are safer bet desserts in this price range all throughout the Disneyland Resort. We think chocolate and cherry lovers may end up really enjoying this treat, but people who are averse to rich chocolate flavors and messy desserts may want to pass.

2023 is a big year for the Disney Company. Disney100 Decor EPCOT 2023 marks the 100th Anniversary of the Walt Disney Company. But as we get closer to Christmas and the holidays, we thought we ought to mention that we are nearing another important anniversary within the Disney company. We’re celebrating the 30th Anniversary of a classic Disney Christmas movie and taking a look at what its future may have in store. Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas has become a beloved Christmas movie, but it didn’t originally start out that way. Initially, Disney was concerned that it might be too weird for audiences and labeled it under their owned Touchstone brand. But boy were they wrong. As they realized the movie’s growing popularity, they branded it completely under the Walt Disney Studios. Jack in Haunted Mansion Holiday The 1993 film is now celebrating its 30th birthday this year and People met up with director Henry Selick to discuss its inception and what might be in store for the classic movie’s future. Disney adults have enjoyed this movie since its beginning, and it continues to grow in popularity, now with many sharing their favorite Christmas movie with their own kids. It’s the Oogie Boogie man! So could we get a SEQUEL to the Nightmare Before Christmas? We don’t think so, as Selick essentially said, “Why mess with a classic.” At this point Selick has stated it’s “a perfect movie [that] came out of the perfect time, only to grow into something far bigger over the years.” And no one has come up with any good ideas for a sequel. Sally in the Haunted Mansion Disneyland But Selick did mention that instead of a sequel for this already great movie, perhaps a prequel would be a better topic to consider. With ideas like how Jack Skellington became the King of Halloweentown, there could be a better storyline to explore before the original movie. Chris Sarandon, who voiced Jack, has said he would “absolutely” be on board to voice him again in a potential prequel. Jack and Sally Only time will tell if we get to learn more about the King of Halloweentown’s history in a prequel stop-motion movie to The Nightmare Before Christmas. But we’re pretty sure that if it were to happen, there would be MANY happy Disney fans all over the world. Until we learn more, watch The Nightmare Before Christmas on Disney+ and keep following DFB!
