Heads up — Disney World just got even MORE expensive. Welcome to Disney World! Four big changes were announced recently that could all affect your budget for your next Disney World trip. Some of these price increases are practically unavoidable, but there are a couple of ways to get around the others. Let’s dive in! This first change falls into the “practically unavoidable” category: if you’re planning to eat at Disney World restaurants, you’ll notice some price increases on food throughout the resort. Food Price Increases Prices have increased at nearly every restaurant in Disney World. Dining Room at Cinderella’s Royal Table Restaurants inside the theme parks, at the hotels, and in Disney Springs have all been impacted by these changes. Dining at ‘Ohana Some of the most notable price increases occurred at character dining restaurants, including popular spots like Chef Mickey’s, Cinderella’s Royal Table, Be Our Guest, and ‘Ohana (which only offers a character meal for breakfast). Chef Mickey is ready to welcome you! All of the Starbucks locations in Disney World saw price increases, so buying your morning coffee in the parks might be a bit more expensive now. Starbucks in Disney World Some iconic snacks like Mickey Pretzels and DOLE Whips are also pricier now. Click here to check out the price increases at Disney World hotel restaurants. One solution to this problem could be the Disney Dining Plan! Dining Plans return on January 9th, so if you’re visiting on or after that date, you can add them onto your vacation package. Full spread at Plaza Restaurant You’ll still want to price out the Dining Plan compared to what you’d normally spend in Disney World without the plan to make sure it’s really going to save you money. Click here to learn more about Disney Dining Plans. Memory Maker Price Increases There are PhotoPass photographers all throughout the Disney World parks who will take your picture. It’s free to get your picture taken, but it costs money to actually download and save the pictures. You can pay by the download or purchase Memory Maker to pay for all those photos in advance. PhotoPass Photographers Memory Maker is a package that allows you to download all your PhotoPass and attraction photos that are taken throughout your trip, as well as the photos of anyone you’re friends with on the Disney World app. You can either do this for the length of your entire trip, or for one day. Disney PhotoPass photographers Disney just revealed some price increases for Memory Maker packages. Here’s a breakdown of the changes: Advance purchase (buying Memory Maker before your trip begins): $185 — was previously $169 Regular price (buying Memory Maker during or after your trip): $210 — was previously $199 One day (buying Memory Maker for one day only): $75 — was $69 That’s a price increase of between $6 and $16, depending on which package you choose. ©Disney Luckily, this price increase is avoidable! Memory Maker is optional, and you don’t have to add it to your Disney World trip. You can always ask PhotoPass photographers to take your picture using your phone or camera, and then you won’t have to pay for those photos. However, Memory Maker also includes attraction photos and Magic Shots, which you can’t get with your own camera. Learn more about Memory Maker here! Parking Price Increases The cost to park at any of the four Disney World theme parks has gone up. This includes parking at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Here’s a breakdown of the price increases: Standard parking (car or motorcycle): $30 per day — was previously $25 per day Preferred parking (car or motorcycle): $45, $50, or $55 per day (pricing is seasonal and varies by date) — was previously $45 to $50 per day Oversized vehicle parking (Shuttle, Limo, Camper Trailer, RV, Bus, or Tractor Trailer): $35 per day — was previously $30 per day Parking So is this price increase avoidable? It depends on where you’re staying during your trip. Disney Resort hotel guests receive complimentary overnight self-parking at their hotel in addition to free standard parking at the theme parks! And if you’re staying at a Disney-owned hotel or one of the select Good Neighbor hotels, you’ll be able to use their FREE transportation to get between the hotels and theme parks instead of driving your own car. Disney bus Another group that gets to park for free is Annual Passholders. Note that if you’re gonna opt into Preferred Parking or use one of the electric vehicle charging stations, you will still have to cover those extra fees; those aren’t included with the free perk of an Annual Pass or a resort stay. Click here to learn more about parking in Disney World. Annual Pass Price Increases Annual Passes went back on sale on April 20th, 2023, after being unavailable for a long time. Now, if you’re hoping to purchase a new pass, you’ll be paying more than before, as price increases have impacted all four Annual Pass tiers. Disney World Annual Pass The new prices for Disney World Annual Passes are as follows: Incredi-Pass: $1449 (previously $1399) Sorcerer Pass: $999 (previously $969) Pirate Pass: $799 (previously $749) Pixie Dust Pass: $439 (previously $399) That’s an increase of $30-$50, depending on the pass type. Welcome to Disney World! Annual Passholder “Good to Go” days will begin in January 2024. On these days, passholders will be able to enter the parks without a Park Pass Reservation. Disney notes that “the theme park reservation calendar will be updated periodically and will show Passholders select days when they may visit a Disney World theme park without needing a theme park reservation.” That means that you can see the “Good to Go” days on a rolling basis, so you won’t be able to see the whole year right away. Blockout dates still apply. Click here to learn more about Disney World Annual Passes.

To honor this Friday the 13th at Walt Disney World, we’re sharing 13 fun facts to know the next time you “drop in” to the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.View the full article

We’re constantly on the hunt for new menu items popping up around Disney World and sometimes, you have to come out of the parks to find them. Caribbean Beach Resort Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort offers multiple dining options to their visitors whether you’re staying at the hotel or not. We decided to stop by and see if the Banana Cabana Lounge and Pool Bar really could hang with some of the best Disney restaurants even as a lounge, and things got interesting! It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of getting out to the parks on your Disney World vacation and not truly enjoy your hotel to its full potential. Sometimes, you just want to find a place to sit back and unwind for a bit to let your cares fall away while you sit under the stars. We were needing a bit of that so we went in search of one of Disney’s hidden gems. Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort It’s no secret that we really love lounges around the Disney World parks and hotels but there’s one in particular that we just felt drawn to recently. Banana Cabana is a Caribbean-themed pool bar and lounge located at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort. With so many dining options to choose from here like Spyglass Grill, Sebastian’s Bistro, and grabbing a quick bite from Centertown Market it’s easy to see why it could go overlooked, but when we heard new menu items were arriving, we needed to head over and try them out for ourselves! Fuentes del Moro pool If you’re not staying at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, it may take you a bit longer to access the grounds — you’ll need to find transportation to the hotel and then walk through the entrance of their main lobby building to the building just behind it. Atmosphere The open concept of the bar really works for the location and the aesthetic it’s looking to achieve here and doesn’t take much to appreciate. It’s located right beside the main (feature) pool at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, Fuentes Del Moro. Banana Cabana Lounge and Pool Bar The main bar is located in the back with the kitchen tucked just behind inconspicuously in the corner, while the forefront of the lounge is made up of the main dining area. The seating here is by the table at either a round, square, or rectangular table for larger parties or a table with just a few bench-style seats that look like they could have doubled as cushioned swings at the beach. Main dining area You won’t need to look too far for a bathroom since it’s shared with the adjoining Sebastian’s Bistro and can be accessed by the side of the bar. Bathrooms nearby Overall it was a fun, relaxing atmosphere and allowed for spur-of-the-moment dining options or could easily be used as a planned get-together spot for a romantic night out or just for an hour of fun and conversation. Drums for lighting You’re free to sit down at any open, clean table and wait for the server to come around and help you with your order. Table setting Once your server has made contact with you they will bring out the silverware, condiments, and napkins to your table. Menu The menu for the lounge can be found on the My Disney Experience app or website, however, your server will most likely offer you a physical menu. Menu There’s not a lot offered on the menu to see the pictures of the entrees and desserts which would have been a nice touch but the inside of the menu provided will detail the bar’s expansive list of beverage offerings. Since I was visiting on a day when a few of the menu items were new to the lounge, they were not on the physical menu and a few of the menu items currently offered had just seen a price increase that was not correctly reflected on the app or physical menus, but my server did make sure to tell me about the changes when ordering. The lounge’s menu The lounge offers a few appetizers… ©Disney … entrees… ©Disney … one dessert option… ©Disney …and minimal offerings for Kid’s Meals but they’re two that are requested pretty commonly by my kids so I could understand not offering an expansive amount, however, chicken tenders were noticeably missing here. ©Disney For drinks, there’s a wide assortment of specialty non-alcoholic beverages... ©Disney …specialty drinks to the lounge… ©Disney …frozen drinks… ©Disney …beer, hard ciders, and seltzers… ©Disney …a few more of them… ©Disney …and a few wine and sangria options. ©Disney There are also Coca-Cola soda products offered here if you prefer. After browsing the menu and talking with my server about the options offered, it was time to order. Since I knew most of what I was looking to order I also requested that all of the food be brought out together to keep from running my server back and forth, and they were happy to oblige. Drinks The first thing to arrive at the table was the Jamaican Frozen Runner. This drink is made of Appleton Estate Reserve Blend Rum and Baileys Irish Cream blended with pineapple juice, cream of coconut, and Crème de Banana topped with a bite of pineapple. This drink was a standard cup size and costs $16. Jamaican Frozen Runner The presentation on this one is minimal but effective. It’s got the look of a creamy pina colada but really wants to be a banana smoothie. The smooth blended icy texture was consistent. As someone who enjoys a pina colada on occasion but can find the coconut flavor a bit strong at times, I really appreciated the creme de banana swooping in to take its place as the more pronounced flavor throughout. It’s also got hints of coconut and fruity so you’ll have places where you can taste the pineapple in it. Creamy and fruity This one will take a bit to melt on you and once it does it will get a bit frothy at the top like a smoothie does. The liquor at the bottom also wanted to separate when it had sat for awhile while I was eating but I was able to remedy that by giving it a quick stir. My only complaint with this one is not with the drink itself but that it’s not super friendly with the paper straws that are served here so you may want to proactively ask for more than one. Eats Then the food all arrived! The entire meal I know that looks like A LOT of food, and it is. In addition to the Jamaican Frozen Runner, I decided to order the Seafood Fritters, Guava Buffalo Chicken Wings, Banana Cabana Burger, and Pineapple-Coconut Bread Pudding. Since it took a little while after I had sat down to be served (I went overlooked because of a surge of people sitting around the same time and a shift change this particular afternoon) my server brought out complimentary Loaded Fries, too. To pace myself, I started off with the Seafood Fritters. Seafood Fritters These fritters were made of shrimp, crab, and fish (my server thought it could have been cod but wasn’t certain) served with passion fruit aioli, and cost $14. The aioli tasted more like a ranch aioli to me and had a tangy kick to it. The seasoned fritters were round and were very soft and super pliable to cut or bite into. Just the fritters Once I bit into it that’s when the spicy flavor really was able to surface outside of the breaded layer and helped set the tone for the rest of the evening’s menu. I think people who aren’t familiar with slippery seafood might struggle with the texture of these. Inside the seafood fritters Their fried coating wants to mimic hush puppies but it’s too soft to really throw them into the same category. While I enjoyed them, they weren’t my favorite thing I tried in this meal. I could see what the chef was really going for here and while that landed in concept, the execution of them may have done better using just crab instead. Then it was time to move on to the Guava Buffalo Grilled Wings. Guava Buffalo Grilled Wings These are bone-in chicken wings coated in sweet guava and buffalo-flavored sauce and cost $15. I’m gonna go ahead and rename these the “I may hate myself in the morning, but I’m gonna love you tonight” wings because they pack the punch! They’re coated in a thin sweet guava glaze that you can’t get enough of but as you’re licking your fingers clean that slow burn starts creeping up on you. They’re accompanied by a few uncooked, carrot sticks that were refreshing to bite into. Crisp carrots The chicken is juicy and the skin pulls right off with the meat. The meat almost melts off I thought these were delicious and I would totally order these all over again. However, I do want to caution you — these were the spiciest things I had during this meal, and as someone who really enjoys a spicy chicken wing, I couldn’t get enough of them. Just the meat Just be careful because too many spicy things altogether could spell trouble for you (and your digestive system) later. After I cleaned up from devouring the chicken wings, it was time to try the Banana Cabana Burger. Banana Cabana Burger This burger is made of Caribbean Barbeque, Tomatillo-Jalepeno cream cheese, and Pineapple Salsa with plantain crunch served with french fries and costs $19. The burger looks tasty enough and the meat is cooked to a medium-well temperature with just a hint of pink to it. I asked my server about requesting a different temperature to the burger and she said that could be accommodated to your preference but the medium-well temperature was the default. Just the burger The bread for the bun reminded me of a Sister Schubert’s roll you can get in the grocery store and there are two interesting layers of flavor above and below the meat patty — the bottom is crunchier while the pineapple and jalapeno cream is on the top, and gives more of a juicier but spicy bite that bursts as the pineapple tidbits are popped. Without the bun The burger is fine but didn’t scream “Caribbean” to me beyond the pineapple salsa and the spice. The tomatillo-jalapeno cream cheese tasted more like an avocado spread. The crunchy layer underneath the burger patty is freeze-dried plantain chips and gives an audible crunch as you initially bite in but tapers to a subtle crunch where only you hear it the loudest as you continue to eat. Cross-section of the burger I see what the chef was going for here but it just didn’t land with me. Maybe if they had added a sweeter sauce to the top instead of a creamier jalapeno mix it would have really stood out. However, if you’re not a fan of spicy flavors and are looking to dine here, my server was very quick to point out that the regular burger is on the menu for that reason. After so many spicy offerings it was nice to see something vaguely familiar in the Loaded Fries. Loaded Fries As I mentioned before these were brought to me as an apology for my longer-than-usual wait to be served after I had sat down and are on the menu for $12. They’re made of french fries topped with chili with black beans, cotija, and Jalapeño salsa. Yum! The fries are standard “Disney” fries you can get practically anywhere fries are served but the toppings were nice. They’re a bit heavy so I had to scoop them with a fork however, the chili was delicious and meaty with black beans. The cotija cheese had a distinct sharper taste (kind of like queso fresco or goat cheese) to it but didn’t leave the top of my mouth coated which I appreciated. The salsa was fresh but tasted more like pico de gallo. Desserts As if I didn’t have enough food already it was time for dessert, so we ordered quite possibly the best dessert in all of Walt Disney World the Pineapple- Coconut Bread Pudding. Pineapple- Coconut Bread Pudding This dessert is made of its namesake ingredients and topped with caramel sauce. It’s also served with a side of vanilla ice cream for $10. Cross-section of the bread pudding The one I received was served in a deep bowl with a decent portion certainly big enough for 2 people to share but I don’t know that it would have survived split by more people. It was noticeably warm to the touch through the bowl underneath as I held it and the caramel sauce gave a sweet smell as I pulled it closer. Just a bite! It took a while for the ice cream to fully melt from the top but it joined the creamy caramel sauce moat that formed around the bread pudding. The bread pudding itself was warm, soft, and moist (even without the caramel sauce and ice cream to help it), and I was able to cut through it like butter with my spoon. There were also a few tidbits of pineapple at the top that were cooked so well that their juices melted into the coconut-flavored bread pudding with ease, but no coconut flakes or textures that I was able to taste. The vanilla ice cream had more of a vanilla bean flavor so it had more of a forefront of a true vanilla rather than an artificial flavoring and when paired with a bite of the bread pudding made me feel like I was in the tropics dining with the locals. Overall Overall for a lounge, it definitely left a lasting impression on me. This isn’t JUST a fancy pool bar and hang-out spot — they really had a great vibe flowing throughout the lounge. While the new menu items with the exception of one didn’t sweep me off my feet the wings were more than memorable enough to carry that weight and beckon me for a return visit. The food arrived incredibly fast from the time it was ordered — and, let’s be honest, I ordered a lot with this meal, and requesting it to come out all at once was no easy feat. The pool was close by making it ideal to stop by as you’re lounging in the sun on the pool deck or when your kids get hungry from burning all their energy swimming all day (because that’s ALWAYS the first thing they ask for getting out of the pool) with no real need to change out of your swim clothes to grab food whether you’re dining there at the lounge or taking it to go. My whole meal! The servers were buzzing around the place behind the bar, heading in and out of the kitchen to attend to incoming tables, and were quick to bus the newly emptied table so they could help keep the incoming traffic’s wait time down. The food was good (some were exceptional like the wings and dessert) with definite nods to more tropical, Caribbean flavors which help you feel like you’re really not at Disney World but at a truly Caribbean resort destination. I’m still dreaming of a few of the things I tried out on this visit so I can totally see a return visit for a date night or pool day at the hotel in the near future for my family. Nosh Or Not? We think this is a perfect lounge to try if you’re… lounging by the Castillo Del Moro pool at the hotel looking for a more tropical-aligned menu don’t mind food with a combination of sweet and spicy You’ll probably want to grab a bite somewhere else if… Caribbean flavors just really aren’t your favorite You prefer an indoor dining experience You are looking for more variety in sides that will accompany your quick bites So good!

There are lots of exciting things happening in Disney World in October. EPCOT Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has been going on since August, but the Halloween energy around the parks during the day really ramps up during October. But there’s a completely different reason we’re so nervous about October 16th in EPCOT. We’re so excited for the official opening of Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana on October 16th. We saw Cast Member previews happen in August and Annual Passholder/DVC previews just started in September. And the results of that are exactly why we’re so nervous. Journey of Water preview line For lack of better words, Annual Passholder and DVC previews were CHAOTIC on September 24th when they began. Disney started with a standby line but by 10AM switched to a Virtual Queue system when the line got too long. Guests also waited in an extremely long line to join the virtual queue (which was not necessary, you could join from your phone anywhere in the park). Annual Passholder preview crowds However, the NEXT DAY, September 25th, no virtual queue was being used — the attraction was back to a standby queue. So…what in the world does that mean for the actual opening day? Standby Queue Don’t worry — no matter what happens, we can help you prepare. We suggest checking with Cast Members as soon as you enter the park and politely asking them if Disney is using a standby or virtual queue. If it’s a standby queue, BOOK IT to that line! We suggest entering the park as early as you can regardless of which line is being used. Journey of Water If it switches to a Virtual Queue, pull out your phone and book a slot for you and your party. The sooner the better, because there’s no telling if the virtual queue will fill up. We’ll be in the park on the day and will be bringing you all the latest updates, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB! Here’s how Journey of Water compares to other Disney World attractions!

Many people write off Disney World food. Slinky Dog Dash Even we’re culprits of park hopping occasionally over to EPCOT for lunch instead of eating at one of the spots in Hollywood Studios. It may be known for its glitz and glam of Hollywood and dropping you into the action of the movies, but it still has some great food locations. We recently visited Fairfax Fare on Sunset Boulevard to try a new snack and this is what we thought! Fairfax Fare is a quick-service restaurant along Sunset Boulevard on your way to the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. This spot is known for its waffle bowls filled with delicious eats and toppings. On the day we stopped by, we got the new Bacon Macaroni & Cheese! Bacon Mac & Cheese This specialty mac and cheese is a house-made Baked Macaroni & Cheese with Beer Cheese, Bacon, and topped with Bread Crumbs. And we have one word for it — DELICIOUS. We were floored by how good this mac and cheese was. The beer cheese is so creamy, it reminded us of Gasparilla Island Grills’s mac and cheese which has always been one of our favorites. It wasn’t a powerful beer taste at all, instead, we would describe it as almost a bready taste. It was very rich and smooth, which made this dish soft — not crispy like baked mac and cheese. The creamiest mac and cheese! However, the bacon and the breadcrumbs added a nice crispiness to this bowl. The breadcrumbs had a light herby flavor and the bacon was nice and salty, adding a great combination of flavors all around. We were pleasantly surprised by how crispy the breadcrumbs stayed while sitting in the creaminess of the cheese sauce. It was a nice touch. You can’t have just one bite! If you are a fan of creamy, smooth, and rich mac and cheese, you’ll love this. If you don’t care for bacon or prefer crisp, baked mac and cheese, then you might want to try something else on the menu. At $10.49, it is a bit on the pricier side, but it was a pretty decent amount of food. Bacon Macaroni and Cheese is on the menu You can grab this in person or via mobile order over at Fairfax Fare in Hollywood Studios! We highly recommend it.

Listen, this might be the Disney Food Blog but we specialize in all things pop culture, okay? Mickey and Minnie As much as we’re listening to the EPCOT atmospheric music that plays throughout the parks, we’re also listening to Folklore, Evermore, and Red (Taylor’s Version). That’s right, baby. We’re a team of Disney-loving Swifties. And you best believe that we’ve been keeping up with her new relationship with Mr. Travis Kelce. We can’t wait for new songs about a 6’5″ tight end in red. Anyway, we got to thinking. Which RIDES would Travis and Taylor be if they were Disney World rides? (This is where our tired brains go after Disney drops a bunch of news on us.) We came up with the most perfect list. There will be no discussion, thanks! Alright, let’s just jump right into it. As A Couple — Journey of the Little Mermaid Taylor’s whole brand is “unlikely love story featuring a girl who writes wistful songs about boy who is so different from her that it wouldn’t make sense for them to fall in love but the stars align and they fall in love anyway.” Well, Taylor’s Version always involves some heartbreak while Disney’s version typically has a happy ending, BUT — that doesn’t matter. Journey of the Little Mermaid Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift? Unlikely love story. However, they’re iconic as a couple and I mean, they look pretty darn happy. Journey of the Little Mermaid highlights an unlikely love story AND a girl who sings probably way too much about her trauma. We’re sold! Travis — Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy He looks suspiciously, uncannily like Lightning McQueen. Lightning McQueen Kachow. Travis — Big Thunder Mountain Railroad He looks big and scary. He looks rough and tough around the edges. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad However, at the end of the day, he’s a pretty cute and fun kind of guy! Yep, Travis Kelce is Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Taylor — Frozen Ever After Frozen Ever After is sing-songy and sparkly. Frozen Ever After in Disney World That’s it. No other explanation is needed. Taylor Swift is Frozen Ever After. Taylor Swift — Haunted Mansion SHE LITERALLY HAS A SONG CALLED ‘HAUNTED’. Haunted Mansion That’s really all we have for this one. She’d probably end up falling in love with Ghost Host or something and writing a song about him though. It’d be called, like, “in the stretch room” or something and would feature Noah Kahan. OH! Also, the 13 reference? Yeah, Taylor is definitely Haunted Mansion. And there you have it!

The legacy of support for military service members and their families is a huge part of our 100-year history at Disney. From Walt’s desire to enlist in World War I to our daily tradition of the flag retreat at Magic Kingdom Park honoring all branches of the armed forces, it’s no surprise that veterans of […]View the full article

As many of you probably already know, Monday, October 16th marks the 100th Anniversary of the Walt Disney Company. Disney100 Celebration Disney fans are headed to the parks to celebrate, and of course, Disney World is included! Speaking of Disney World, the Disney100 Celebration will take place at EPCOT. We figured that EPCOT’s park pass reservations might fill up as the hosting park for all the fun. However, we were wrong based on how things are currently looking! Annual Passholder reservations are still available in every park EXCEPT forMagic Kingdom on Monday, October 16th. Yep, EPCOT reservations are still good to go, though. ©Disney There is something strange about this, though. When we checked this morning, Annual Pass reservations for Magic Kingdom on Monday were GONE. A few minutes later, there were more reservations available. Now, several hours later, the reservations are gone again. Mickey and Minnie We’re not sure if folks are booking these reservations in hopes that Magic Kingdom will end up having some sort of celebratory hoorah that night, or what the situation may be. It could have nothing to do with Disney100 at all! … But we’re gonna guess it probably has something to do with the Anniversary Further, Disney could be adding more reservations as they fill up, which they have done occasionally in the past. We’re not sure! Our advice is that if you’re hoping to visit Magic Kingdom that evening, just park hop! There’s also a good possibility that more reservations will open up.

A Disney World stay involves a lot of planning. There are dining reservations, park tickets and reservations that must align, transportation options, and booking where you’ll call “home” for your next visit. Art of Animation But just because you book a certain resort doesn’t mean you can’t visit the other resorts too! Keep reading to avoid this BIG mistake in 2024. If you’re like us, we could spend full days just hanging at the resorts. In fact, we resort hop to check out what each Disney hotel has to offer. Better yet: Resort hopping is FREE, and you can use Disney Transportation to get there. Time to resort hop! This includes exploring different restaurants, gift shop merchandise, and special events exclusive to certain resorts. One of our favorite gift shops to check out is at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort called Moana Mercantile. A tip many guests might not know is that not all merchandise locations offer the same souvenirs. A specific pin may only be found in a limited amount of resort gift shops before ever being found at the Magic Kingdom’s Emporium. Moana Mercantile Dining Reservations Guests are not limited to only eat at the resort they stay at. In fact, limiting yourself is a HUGE mistake. How else are we supposed to try the famous beignets at Scat Cat’s Club – Café if we’re staying over at Disney’s Pop Century Resort? Or dare we say you’d miss out on Ohana noodles if you weren’t staying at the Polynesian! *gasp* Grand Floridian Lobby Restaurants on property are typically on theme with the resort. Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort = ‘Ohana. Disney’s Wilderness Lodge = Geyser Point. If you have a cuisine you’re craving, chances are Disney World offers it, but not all will be found in just one resort. That’s why it’s such a big mistake to not explore the 25+ resorts on Disney property. ‘Ohana Using your My Disney Experience app, you can reserve your party to eat at any of the resort dining options. Advanced Dining Reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance. If staying on property, you can book your entire stay 60 days in advance. This is a huge perk for guests that book Disney resorts for their vacation! This means you get priority reservations over guests not staying on property. ©Disney Special Sites The dining and food are one thing you don’t want to miss, but the resorts also host some magical spectacles at certain times in the year. Some offer daily viewings of Disney Parks’ entertainment, and all you have to do is resort hop to get a good spot. Disney Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter! If you plan a Disney vacation sometime around the holidays, the resorts are full of hidden secrets. For instance, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is home to the well-known, life-like gingerbread house. While Disney’s Wilderness Lodge has a 5-story high Christmas tree display in the center of their Yellowstone inspired lobby. Grand Floridian Lobby at Christmastime (2022) Not only can you marvel at its beauty in the glamorous Grand Floridian lobby, but you can pay to buy and eat a gingerbread shingle! Don’t just take our word for it. Add this to your Disney World bucket list stat! Ahh the smell of cinnamon and spices fill the air while live piano music plays in the lobby. Oh and that massive Christmas tree! And that’s just one resort experience. Each resort offers something special during the holiday season. Gingerbread House Shingle But what if you don’t visit around the holidays? Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge offers guests three 11-acre savannas for animal watching their permanent residents, including, but not limited to, giraffes, okapi, and zebras. The resort even offers a “Wildlife Spotting Guide” for guests to spot from their guest room or common observation areas. And while you’re checking out this mini safari adventure, make a reservation for Boma Flavors Africa to indulge in the legendary Zebra Domes. These bite size pieces of heaven are addicting. Don’t say we didn’t warn you! Okapi at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge! Looking for a new view of the park’s firework shows? Hop over to the Polynesian Resort, grab a Dole Whip at Pineapple Lanai, and head to their beach to get a front row seat of “Happily Ever After.” Maybe you prefer a birds eye view of fireworks? The Dahlia Lounge at the top of Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort’s Gran Destino Tower offers a beautiful view of both EPCOT and Hollywood Studios nighttime spectacles. Outdoor seating with a VIEW Resort hopping can be a full day, half day or even just an evening outing. Where you stay is only a tiny part of the Walt Disney World Resort experience. Guests are more than welcome to explore the different hotels on property, eat at their restaurants, and shop. In fact, if you don’t take advantage, you’ll be making a big mistake!

We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again. (And we’ll keep sayin’ it ’til something changes!) Pinocchio Village Haus Magic Kingdom is just not on the tippy top of our list of favorite Disney Parks to grab food from. We apologize to all the Magic Kingdom food lovers of the world. The food here is okay, it’s not horrible, but it’s really just a bit bland. One of the top dining choices in Magic Kingdom (but what we’ve referred to in the past as a sad story for pizza everywhere) is Pinocchio Village Haus. Located right next to “it’s a small world,” this eatery serves up Italian food, flatbreads, and salads. We’re braving it and headed there again today to try something we’ve never had before, and of course — review it for you all. The Buffalo Chicken Flatbread is available at Pinocchio Village Haus for $12.79. It’s a flatbread that’s been topped with shredded cheese, chicken, and of course — buffalo sauce. Not even gonna lie, y’all, we were nervous to try this. This situation could go really well or really horribly. When we first received the food it definitely didn’t look appetizing. Buffalo Chicken Flatbread But then again — how much can we expect from a quick service pizza joint in a theme park? We took a deep breath and found our seat so that we could try out this flatbread. Unbiased. Forgetting the ways we were hurt in the past. Yum… We’re being dramatic. Once we were where we could properly see our food it looked fine. We could see that the chicken looks nicely cooked, and that the buffalo sauce looked much less like runny strawberry jelly. It looks like a pretty solid slice of flatbread! Okay, now we’re talking! After we took a bite of this pizza, we promptly put our foot in our mouth along with it. This pizza is the perfect choice for someone seeking a good, quick flatbread option — especially if you enjoy some SPICE. It reminded us of that guilty pleasure school cafeteria pizza from back in the day. The cheese was perfectly melty and stringy and definitely complimented the flavor of both the chicken AND the buffalo sauce — as buffalo sauce tends to kind of have that acidic flavor. Close up The chicken was perfectly tender and easy to bite through. It wasn’t chewy or dry at all. The spice of the buffalo isn’t noticeable in every single bite, so we almost wish that there was MORE of it. Another pic from before we absolutely destroyed this pizza… because it was that GOOD. So… should you go to Pinocchio’s and try this? Well, if you love flatbreads, chicken, and miss that old school cafeteria pizza, you’ll probably like this. However, if you don’t like buffalo, steer clear, even though it isn’t present in every bite. You could honestly request the buffalo sauce on the side so that you can avoid it completely or experiment at your own pace with the spice. Before we wrap up, it’s safe to say that this pizza has redeemed all pizzas everywhere since our last review. Yay!

Although Disney World’s historic closure and reopening was over three years ago, there are still some things that haven’t yet returned. Grand Floridian Resort Now, don’t get us wrong — we were VERY happy to hear about the return of the Disney Dining Plan, as well as the end of park hopping restrictions in 2024. But we’ve been disappointed that some restaurants remain closed, including one we just found reopened today — well, sort of. After Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa reopened in 2020 after Disney World’s closure, the Garden View Tea Room has remained closed. This was once a spot where you could enjoy morning or afternoon tea, including the Disney Perfectly Princess Tea Party, a special princess-themed tea party. Afternoon Tea Well, we recently visited the Grand Floridian and saw that the Garden View Tea Room was open again! It’s open! But it’s not open for tea. Instead, the area was opened up as a space for games, activities, and movies. There wasn’t a teapot in sight. It’s not open for tea, though. A Cast Member told us this restaurant is opened up every once in a while if the hotel needs space. The day we visited, it was stormy out, meaning the pool was closed, so everyone was directed to come inside and play a game in the Tea Room. Board games We don’t have any confirmation on if or when the tea experiences here will return, although we do know that ANOTHER afternoon tea will be available soon on Disney’s BoardWalk when The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers opens.

Let’s face it. Magic Kingdom Magic Kingdom at Disney World isn’t exactly known for its irresistibly delicious food or gourmet cuisine. It’s theme park food with a handful of comfort food options. It’s fine. But it definitely hasn’t received any MICHELIN Stars. HOWEVER… we think that some folks are just a tad bit dramatic when it comes to these restaurants. There’s one restaurant in particular that people love to diss on, but it’s really not that bad. Tony’s Town Square Restaurant is located at the very front of Magic Kingdom on Main Street, U.S.A.. It’s themed to Lady and the Tramp, and you’ll find references to the classic movie throughout the restaurant. This is everyone’s least-favorite Magic Kingdom restaurant, but we’re here to tell you that it ain’t half bad. Hear us out! The food is FINE. In the past, we really didn’t like the food here. Like… our favorite menu item was the dessert, which is never a good sign. However, the restaurant got a whole new menu back in 2022, and we actually enjoyed some of the items we had. Our favorite item on the menu was the GARLIC BREAD. Tony’s Garlic Bread Seriously, things have been on the up and up over at Tony’s. It isn’t bad. It’s also not stellar, but it’s edible, and the other perks throughout the restaurant might make it worth it. GREAT theming for classic Disney fans. As we said, this restaurant is intricately themed to Lady and the Tramp. Throughout the restaurant, you’ll find nods to the film as well as vintage American flair. It’s just a cozy little Italian restaurant! Lady and the Tramp Tribute in Tony’s Town Square Classic Disney fans and those who love Lady and the Tramp will have a good time just checking out the atmosphere and all the theming. Disney Dining Plan! In case you didn’t already know, the Disney Dining Plan will make its return on January 9th, 2024. After that, Tony’s will once again be Dining Plan eligible! Seating at Tony’s This is a great way to preplan and budget your meals. The convenience is what wins every time for a lot of folks. You can watch the parades. Remember when we said that Tony’s Town Square is conveniently located on Main Street, U.S.A.? Yeah, well that offers you a GREAT view of the parades. Plus, you won’t have to fight tooth and nail for a viewing spot because your table at Tony’s will provide that for you! A parade? Don’t mind if we do! Even when there aren’t parades actively happening, you’ll still be able to take in the sights of Main Street, U.S.A.. There are almost always open reservations. People don’t like this restaurant. It falls very low on the list of beloved Disney World restaurants. In fact, it probably doesn’t make the list for most. Tony’s Town Square Restaurant PERFECT! That means there are usually open reservations online, and sometimes you can even walk up and join the wait list. That makes this place even MORE convenient. So… what do you think? Will you give Tony’s Town Square a try? We’ll be sure to keep you all updated with more Disney news, so make sure to follow along so that you never miss a thing.

The EPCOT transformation is only a couple of months from completion. 100th Anniversary Spaceship Earth Light Show The 100th Anniversary Celebration is under way in the park and the Food and Wine Festival is still going strong. EPCOT is the park to be at this fall! As we keep getting closer and closer to December (when Disney has said the transformation will be completed), we see projects continuing to be completed. We recently noticed another project done on one of our trips to the park! EPCOT is known for its fantastic food and drink options. You can find so many varieties as you circumvent the park. From all the World Showcase restaurants to the festival booths and even some great spots in The Land, you are sure to find something you’ll enjoy. But sometimes you just need a typical theme-park option, which is why we’re happy to see this snack stand finally re-open! The snack stand has reopened! This snack stand is located near the entrance to Creations and Connections. If you’re familiar with the Disney Vacation Club booth there, you’ll find this snack stand right next to it. Snack stand near Creations We noticed the menu is still the same as it was previously. The big update to this snack stand was the re-theming and paint job to match the theme of the area it’s in. You’ll still find tasty treats here like hot dogs, Mickey ice cream, Mickey pretzels, and churros!

It’s almost time to open up the gates! ©Disney The World of Frozen will officially be opening in 38 days! Inside this new land coming to Hong Kong Disneyland, you’ll be able to meet Anna and Elsa, sled through the forest with Olaf and Sven, and get a ‘big summer blowout’ at the two shopping locations. But we’re not here to talk about all of that. We’re here to talk about what really matters, the FOOD. At the World of Frozen, you’ll find three different food locations.

Well, we recently learned that Disney World is about to get more expensive in a LOT of different ways. Annual Pass card Thousands of price increases have arrived at Disney World restaurants. Special tours got more expensive. The price of Memory Maker has gone up. Parking is now higher. Even the price of Disney World Annual Passes have gone up — and as a result, some Disney World fans are saying “enough is enough.” The new prices for Disney World Annual Passholders have gone up as follows: Incredi-Pass: $1449 (was $1399) Sorcerer Pass: $999 (was $969) Pirate Pass: $799 (was $749) Pixie Dust Pass: $439 (was $399) ©Disney Depending on the pass, that’s an increase of $30 to $50 per year. ©Disney We decided to ask our DFB readers if this price increase would affect whether they would renew their passes or not. 27 percent of you told us you would not be renewing your passes for the year because it’s become too expensive. Will you renew your Annual Pass? Although 35% still told us that they would renew their Annual Passes and that it was a priority, the majority of our readers are still trying to make a decision on whether the price increases are worth it or not. A whopping 38% of you told us that you haven’t made a decision about it yet. Oswald Magnet for Passholders Passholders will begin to get “Good to Go” days in January 2024, which are select dates that they can enter the parks without a park pass reservation (park pass reservations are going away for many Disney World visitors in 2024). Oswald Cookies and Cream Shake for Annual Passholders Disney stated that “the theme park reservation calendar will be updated periodically and will show Passholders select days when they may visit a Disney World theme park without needing a park pass reservation.” That means that these “Good To Go” dates will be shown on a rolling basis to Passholders and not all at once. Plus blockout dates will still apply. We’ll keep an eye out for more Disney World Annual Passholder news, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

For the first time in… ever… we are awaiting the official opening of Hong Kong Disneyland’s World of Frozen! ©Disney We are so excited for this new addition to the Disney Parks and honestly, we’re just a tad bit jealous. The new addition to Hong Kong Disneyland will officially open to visitors on November 20th, 2023, and Disney is getting folks EXCITED by sharing all the details you need to know regarding the park, from attractions and characters, to restaurants and shops. In case you’ve got a trip to Hong Kong on the horizon, or in case you really want to be jealous, we’re here to share with you a COMPLETE GUIDE to this new land. Alright, grab your coat and mittens, because we’re about to get FROZEN! Let’s go! What does World of Frozen consist of? World of Frozen is made up of two sections: Arendelle Village and Arendelle Forest. The village is, of course, where most of the citizens live! So, that’s where you can find Frozen Ever After, Tick Tock Toys & Collectibles, Golden Crocus Inn, and Northern Delights. Here, you’ll also be able to find Arendelle Castle, Friendship Fountain, Clock Tower Square, and the North Mountain which features ELSA’S ICE PALACE!! ©Disney King Agnarr Bridge (named after Elsa and Anna’s father) connects Arendelle Village to Arendelle Forest. In the forest, you’ll find Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs, Playhouse in the Woods, Forest Fare, and Traveling Traders. What RIDES are available? What a lot of folks are MOST excited about are the RIDES!! We’ll briefly highlight each of those: Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs This family-friendly coaster is the FIRST Frozen-themed coaster, exclusive to Hong Kong Disneyland. ©Disney You’ll enter via the iconic Trading Post and will even get to see Oaken himself! You’ll then load into a sleigh that resembles Kristoff’s, and then you’ll be off on your journey over the mountain and through the forest with the help of Olaf and Sven. Frozen Ever After Yep, this is Hong Kong Disneyland’s version of the iconic Frozen boat ride that you can find in EPCOT. You’ll go on a journey through the North Mountain to see Elsa’s Ice Palace, Troll Valley, and MORE. ©Disney Disney says that the characters in this ride re the most technologically advanced Audio-Animatronics EVER! Okay, but what can I EAT? Don’t worry, friend! There are a few options if you’re hoping to grub. Golden Crocus Inn Golden Crocus Inn is where you can enjoy a hearty, quick service meal while surrounded by nautical theming. The menu will feature offerings inspired by Norwegian comfort foods. ©Disney That’s right, you’ll be able to dine on eats from seafood to pasta. Northern Delights Northern Delights is going to act as your hub for SWEETS. You’ll be able to head inside and shop in this “upscale neighborhood sweets shop” that features desserts, packaged gift confectionery, and cooking goods. Coronation Sundae ©Disney If you need me, you know where I’ll be. Forest Fare Forest Fare is the spot for a quick bite to eat! Seriously, it’s just a food cart. ©Disney A small, but mighty joint! You can grab churros, cookies, shaved ice, and more! Where can I meet Anna and Elsa? It wouldn’t be World of Frozen without the stars of the show! Playhouse in the Woods This playhouse is meant to serve as Elsa’s secret childhood hideaway! This is a first-of-its-kind theatrical experience found in Arendelle Forest where you can meet Anna, Elsa, AND Olaf! ©Disney This show will feature singing, projection mapped content, special effects, and sensory elements. You’ll also be able to meet Elsa and Anna throughout the land as well, and even Oaken and Kristoff! Where can I shop? You can’t visit the all-new land without some souvenirs to prove it! Tick Tock Toys & Collectibles This is a “centuries-old shop” that has Olaf-themed headbands to Nordic-inspiired sweaters. ©Disney You’ll also be able to visit the “Royal Post of Arendelle” right next to the shop to send some magical mail home to friends and family.

The Walt Disney Company announced a donation of $2 million to organizations that are providing humanitarian relief in the region following the deadly Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel. ©Disney | Walt Disney Company Headquarters Disney CEO Bob Iger released a statement on the attacks. Iger shared, “In the wake of the horrific terrorist attacks targeting Jews in Israel this past weekend, we must all do what we can to support the innocent people experiencing so much pain, violence, and uncertainty – particularly children. We condemn these attacks, the hate that motivated them, and all acts of terrorism, and we will continue working to find more ways to provide support in the region, and to honor the victims, their families, and all those affected by this war.” ©Disney Disney will be donating $1 million to Magen David Adom, an organization affiliated with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies that provides emergency medical and blood banking services in Israel. Disney is also donating $1 million to other nonprofit organizations working in the region, primarily those that focus on providing aid to children. ©Disney In addition, employees have been participating in Disney’s Matching Gifts program that matches eligible charitable donations made by employees up to $25,000.

It’s time to settle the debate once and for all — what are REALLY the BEST quick service restaurants in Disney’s Hollywood Studios? Disney’s Hollywood Studios When you think about great food in Disney World, Hollywood Studios is rarely the park that comes to mind. Sorry, but it’s the truth. Sure, there are some iconic classics like the famous Cobb Salad at the Hollywood Brown Derby, and the comfort food at 50s Prime Time Café is certainly nothing to scoff at. But both of those are TABLE service spots…so what if you want something FAST? Don’t worry — there are still some excellent options! You just have to know where to look. There are four restaurants that we think could qualify as the BEST quick service spots in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. They’re all great for different reasons! Let’s dive in. Ronto Roasters Ronto Roasters is one of the best fast food spots in Hollywood Studios, even despite its limited menu. There are only a couple of options available, but what’s there is GOOD. Ronto Wrap The classic Ronto Wrap is one of our favorite things to eat in Hollywood Studios, but many people actually prefer the Ronto Morning Wrap, which features eggs, grilled sausage, and cheese. Ronto Morning Wrap And there’s even a very tasty Zuchii Wrap for those who follow a plant-based diet! Zuchii Wrap Seating at this restaurant is all outdoors, although most of it is under a roof to keep you safe from the rain or sun. The dining room is pretty small, so it could be tricky to find a seat if you’re visiting during peak meal times. Ronto Roasters Seating Don’t forget to say hello to the pitmaster droid, who’s hard at work turning a mechanical spit to cook up your meal! Ronto Roasters in Galaxy’s Edge Ronto Roasters might not be the best spot for picky eaters, but if you’re looking for unique and delicious eats, it’s one of our favorite places to grab a snack or light meal. Check out our latest review of Ronto Roasters here! Woody’s Lunch Box Woody’s Lunch Box is popular for a reason! It has adorable theming and some solid options on the menu. Woody’s Lunch Box Like Ronto Roasters, the seating is all outdoors at Woody’s Lunch Box. Most of the tables have umbrellas, so you can usually still find a spot in the shade. And if you’re lucky, you might get to sit on a giant Babybel cheese! Cheese tables One of the most popular things on the menu here is the Totchos, which are nachos but with tater tots instead of chips. “Totchos” If you’re more of a breakfast food person, go for the Breakfast Bowl, which has tater tots smothered in smoked brisket country gravy, scrambled eggs, and green onions. The breakfast bowl! We also love the BBQ Brisket Melt, or if it’s a little bit chilly outside, you can’t go wrong with a plain Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup. BBQ Brisket Melt Those Lunch Box Tarts are super fun! They might just look like fancy pop tarts (and OK, maybe that’s exactly what they are), but we love ’em all the same. Raspberry Lunch Box Tart You can usually find different seasonal flavors of those Lunch Box Tarts on the menu. Check out our latest review of Woody’s Lunch Box here! Docking Bay 7 We’re going back to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge for the next restaurant on our list: Docking Bay 7 is another quick service spot with plenty of tasty eats on the menu. Docking Bay 7 This restaurant is run by Proprietor Chef Strono “Cookie” Tuggs, who honed his skills in the kitchen of Maz Kanata. Dining room There’s some indoor seating here, and you’ll likely not have trouble finding a spot as long as you don’t go during peak meal times. Try visiting right at 11AM or between 3PM and 5PM for the best results. There’s also some outdoor seating if you can’t find a table inside. Outdoor seating One of our favorite things about this place is that, after 3PM, it serves Ronto Wraps! Yep, after Ronto Roasters closes at 3PM, you can still get those delicious wraps by heading to Docking Bay 7 instead. Ronto Wrap at Docking Bay 7 However, that doesn’t mean that Docking Bay 7 doesn’t have some of its own tasty and unique dishes. We like the Fried Endorian Chicken Tip Yip, and we’ve really enjoyed the Topato Stir-Fry and Roasted Endorian Chicken Salad in the past. Fried Endorian Tip-Yip This is a great spot for Star Wars fans to feel immersed in the theming (without having to fight tooth and nail for a reservation at Oga’s Cantina), and we like that it embraces the fun Batuu backstory. Full Spread at Docking Bay 7 There aren’t tons of options for pickier eaters, though, as even the more familiar eats are presented in a way to make them seem “Star Wars-y” and unique. Check out our latest review of Docking Bay 7 here! Backlot Express One of the best places for an easy, familiar meal is Backlot Express. This “warehouse of good eating” is themed as a film production warehouse, so make sure to walk around and look at all the props and decorations when you stop by. Backlot Express The food isn’t super incredible — it’s mostly burgers, sandwiches, and salads — but pretty much everything is tasty and filling. You can get a Smoked BBQ Pulled Pork Burger, a Teriyaki Chicken Bowl, or a Cuban Sandwich, or opt for the lighter Southwest Salad or Teriyaki Tofu Bowl. Menu items at Backlot Express! Possibly the best thing about this restaurant is that there’s a TON of indoor seating available, so on rainy or hot days, you’re almost guaranteed to get a table inside and out of the weather. Backlot Express Another great thing about Backlot Express is free refills on your soda! You fill your own drinks here, and you can go back for refills as much as you want. Soda refill station One of our favorite things to order is the Wookie Cookie, which is two oatmeal cookies sandwiched together with vanilla buttercream. Wookie Cookie If you’re traveling with kids or picky eaters, Backlot Express is going to be the best choice for lunch in Hollywood Studios. Check out our latest review of Backlot Express here! Honorable Mention: ABC Commissary We know we said we’d only mention four restaurants, but we have to talk really quickly about ABC Commissary. This restaurant definitely won “most improved” over the last few years. ABC Commissary ABC Commissary used to be a definite “pass” for us, but they re-vamped their menu in the last year, and the new eats have made all the difference. Abc Commissary Eats We loved the Pork Carnitas Tacos, Curry Rice Bowl with Shrimp, and Watermelon Margarita, but our team’s FAVORITE new item is the Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese The theming in ABC Commissary is also fun — it’s staged to look like a production studio cafeteria, with props and posters for current TV shows all around. ABC Commissary There’s also LOTS of indoor seating here, which is a huge bonus if the weather isn’t nice outside. Plus you get to fill your own soda cups here, which means free refills! Check out our latest review of ABC Commissary here! With DOZENS of places to eat at Disney World, we know it can be tough to plan your meals.
