You know what can RUIN a Disney vacation when you don’t see it coming? An unexpected refurbishment! Haunted Mansion in Disneyland It’s always a bummer to arrive in Disney World or Disneyland Resort only to find out that your favorite ride or attraction is closed for extended maintenance. Thankfully, you can check ahead of your trip online to see which attractions will be unavailable. But as an extra precaution, we’re here to warn you about two upcoming closures! Space Mountain has been closed temporarily in Disneyland for a little while to get a refurbishment. This is one of the park’s most popular rides, so if you’re planning on visiting soon, make sure to put this update on your radar. Space Mountain in Disneyland The ride was previously scheduled to reopen on October 26th, but that date has now been pushed back to October 27th. If you were hoping to ride on the 27th, you may need to rearrange your plans. Ready to Go? The other update that Disneyland Resort visitors need to know about is a closure for the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail. This walkthrough attraction in California Adventure will be closed starting November 1st, and there’s currently no reopening date listed. Redwood Creek Challenge Trail The Redwood Creek Challenge Trail typically closes shortly around that time to get a holiday makeover, so it’s likely that we could see it reopen on or around November 10th when the holiday festivities begin. We’ll keep you updated if we get official details.

At our core, we are simple humans. We love silly little cat videos on the internet. We make up stories about miniature train villages to amuse ourselves. We load up on condiments whenever possible. We ride “it’s a small world” in Disney World for the nostalgia of it all. It’s who we are. We love sauces! So, when the internet goes wild with a ranch-based joke, you know we’re going to talk about it. If you know what we’re hinting at, you’re officially a pop culture expert. For everyone else, we’re here to introduce you to social media’s latest shenanigans. It’ll be a blast. What you see below is seemingly a cup of ranch, right? Looks like ranch, contextually makes sense as ranch — it’s probably ranch. When we hold a cup of seemingly ranch, it doesn’t seem like a very big deal. But, when a certain pop ICON is pictured with what looks like ranch dip, well, the internet does what the internet does best. Seemingly ranch A few days ago, Taylor Swift managed to capture the attention of the NFL itself when she attended a Kansas City Chiefs football game. For context, fans recently learned that Taylor Swift is dating Travis Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs. A Taylor Swift fan account on Twitter shared this tweet, with Swift posed by a plate of chicken and two dipping sauces. From there, a meme was born. And that’s just another day on the internet. Who would’ve thought that a silly little comment about what may or may not be ranch dipping sauce could end up going viral? If you asked us if we ever thought we’d be talking about ranch, the NFL, and Taylor Swift all at the same time, we’d never believe it. Now, go and enjoy some carrots and seemingly ranch on this fine day — it’s what Taylor Swift would want. Stay tuned for more pop culture news and internet mischief.

A lot of change is happening in Disney World. Gyro at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort A new attraction is set to open soon in EPCOT. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom is under construction. New DVC villas are being built at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. Restaurants are changing in Disney World, too, and, well, some of those most recent changes include price increases. We will admit that we’re not surprised about the first round of price increases we’ve seen at Disney World resort — it is, after all, that time of year we start seeing increases. Right now, most of the dining price increases are at Disney World hotels, but some of those changes include items found across Disney World, like Mickey bars.

“What do you want for dinner?” It’s a seemingly mundane and innocent question, but if you’re like us, you know just how difficult that decision really can be. Here’s the thing: It only gets WORSE when you’re at Disney World! Brown Derby Lounge Spread In Disney’s Hollywood Studios alone, there are THIRTY restaurants. How in the world are you supposed to decide where to eat?? Luckily, we’ve been to every single one of them several times and tried a ton of the menu items at each one, so we can tell you exactly which ones are worth your time, stomach space, and money. At Disney World, there are a few different kinds of restaurants. You’ve got table service (sit-down) restaurants, which are typically more expensive, but the food is fancier and you’ll probably get a nice long break inside with some air conditioning. The Hollywood Brown Derby Then there are quick service (fast food) spots, which are faster and cheaper, but sometimes the seating situation isn’t ideal — especially when it’s super hot outside. Good luck finding a seat here Finally, there are snack stands, which offer fun bites but frequently have limited menus. Epic Eats Snack Stand In this post, we’re going to take a look at each kind of restaurant and tell you exactly where to go during your Hollywood Studios day. Table Service Hollywood Brown Derby Our choice for the best table service meal in Hollywood Studios goes to the iconic Hollywood Brown Derby. This is one of the most delicious and historic dining experiences in all of Disney World. It’s a replica of the famous Hollywood restaurant, and it’s also the signature restaurant of Hollywood Studios. Reservations fill up quickly for this spot, so get yours as soona as possible if you want ’em! The Hollywood Brown Derby As a signature restaurant, Hollywood Brown Derby is on the pricier side. It’s also a fairly heavy meal, which might be a mistake if you’re planning to ride a bunch of roller coasters right after. However, it’s a fancy and romantic restaurant with old Hollywood vibes, and the food is consistently top-notch. Braised Short Rib Note that the Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge is a good option if you can’t get those reservations — it accepts walk-up guests and has many of the same classic menu items as the full restaurant. The famous Cobb Salad Some of our favorite eats here include the Famous Cobb Salad, Free-Range Chicken à la King, and Grapefruit Cake. Check out our recent reviews of the Hollywood Brown Derby here! Honorable Mention: 50’s Prime Time This restaurant didn’t make our top spot because the food isn’t quite as good as Hollywood Brown Derby, but it’s still decent and the atmosphere is super fun! 50’s Prime Time Cafe You know when you’re home for a family reunion and you’re surrounded by cousins and relatives and your mom and grandma are both shouting at you to eat your veggies and get your elbows off the table? Those are the vibes that 50’s Prime Time Café strives for. The dining rooms at this spot sets of 1950s-style kitchens, complete with little black-and-white TVs that show mid-century shows. 50’s Prime Time Cafe The menu consists of comfort food like fried chicken, meatloaf, and pot roast. The food is good and reasonably priced, and the unique atmosphere makes this a great choice for lunch or dinner. However, the meal can take a long time (you may not want to sacrifice your time in the park for it), and the interactive environment could be an introvert’s nightmare. Our Spread from 50s Prime Time Cafe If you do come here, GET A MILKSHAKE. You won’t regret it. Check out our recent reviews of 50’s Prime Time Café here! Honorable Mention: Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater There’s another uniquely themed restaurant in Hollywood Studios: the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater! This restaurant’s dining room is designed to look like a drive-in theater. Sci-Fi Dine In You’ll sit in a car-shaped booth while you watch short (and cheesy) sci-fi clips on the big screen. Don’t worry about the rain — this drive-in is indoors. Sci Fi Dine-In at Disney’s Hollywood Studios The food here is mostly burgers, shakes, and fries (think diner food), and it’s decent. You also get pretty hearty portions, which is great if you’re hungry but not-so-great if you’re going to ride lots of roller coasters right after. Feature Film Burger — Surf and Turf at Sci-Fi Dine-InTheater The main reason for visiting is definitely the unique theming, and we think kids especially will love it! Check out our recent reviews of Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater here! Counter Service Woody’s Lunch Box (Mobile Order Available) There’s just one quick service restaurant in Toy Story Land: Woody’s Lunch Box. (Now there’s a table service restaurant as well, called Roundup Rodeo BBQ, which also has decent food and really fun theming!) Woody’s Lunch Box Woody’s Lunch Box literally looks like a giant lunch box (go figure), and the only options for seating are outdoor tables with umbrellas. If you’re lucky, you might get to sit on a giant Babybel cheese! (Disney partnered with Mini Babybel for this restaurant.) It can be tricky finding a seat here Some good options on the menu here are the Totchos (nachos but with tater tots), BBQ Brisket Melt, and Lunch Box Tarts. “Totchos” Those tarts might just look like fancy pop tarts (and OK, maybe that’s exactly what they are), but lots of people love ’em all the same! On a cool day, you can’t go wrong with a grilled cheese and tomato soup here, either. Check out our recent reviews of Woody’s Lunch Box here! Ronto Roasters (Mobile Order Available) Now introducing Ronto Roasters! When you walk into the restaurant area, you’ll see a pitmaster droid busy at work turning a mechanical spit to cook up your meal. Ronto Roasters Seating is all outdoors here (the whole restaurant is open-air), and there aren’t a ton of tables, so it can be tricky to get a seat during busy times. However, most of the tables are under a roof to keep the rain or sun off. Ronto Roasters Seating Ronto Roasters has very few menu options, but what’s on there is GOOD. The Ronto Wrap is one of our favorite things to eat in this park, and the breakfast version (the Ronto Morning Wrap) is super popular as well. And don’t ignore the plant-based Zuchii Wrap either! Ronto Wrap This might not be the best place for very picky eaters or little kids (as there isn’t much to choose from on the menu besides those wraps), but the eats aren’t so bizarre that they would scare off most eaters. Check out our recent reviews of Ronto Roasters here! Honorable Mention: Docking Bay 7 (Mobile Order Available) We’d be lying to you if we didn’t admit that a significant reason for our mentioning Docking Bay 7 is because this is where you can get a Ronto Wrap after Ronto Roasters closes at 3PM. They’re not available here before 3PM, but once Ronto Roasters is closed, they’re on the menu. Docking Bay 7 However, this spot has some unique and tasty eats, too! The Fried Endorian Chicken Tip Yip is a safe option (it’s just fried chicken), and we also enjoy the Topato Stir-Fry and Roasted Endorian Chicken Salad. Full Spread Another pro is that there’s a lot of indoor seating available, so it’s great for a particularly hot day. Check out our recent reviews of Docking Bay 7 here! Snacks Oga’s Cantina OK, so here’s the thing. We have to admit right off the bat that Oga’s Cantina just might be a *little bit* overrated. Although the drinks and eats leave something to be desired, we have to include it on this list because the theming is INCREDIBLE and, for Star Wars fans, it’s just an iconic location. The bar at Oga’s Cantina You’ll need a reservation to dine here, and you’re under a 45-minute time limit once you go inside. Reservations can be hard to get, so make sure you’re ready to book as soon as they become available (60 days before your trip). Fuzzy TaunTaun Make sure to try the Fuzzy Tauntaun (for the 21+ crowd) and the non-alcoholic Blue Bantha! We recommend skipping the eats here — there are only a couple of snack options, and neither has impressed us in the past. Check out our recent reviews of Oga’s Cantina here! BaseLine Tap House BaseLine Tap House is another bar/lounge in Hollywood Studios, but it’s very different from Oga’s Cantina. For one thing, the theming here isn’t quite so in-your-face. And for another, the snacks on the menu are WAY better. (We like to give you both options — Oga’s Cantina is great for Star Wars fans and anyone looking for fun theming, but you should pick BaseLine if you want legitimately incredible snacks and drinks.) BaseLine Tap House This is a good place to grab a beer, and don’t forget to try the charcuterie board or the Bavarian Pretzel (with beer cheese fondue!). That pretzel tastes 10x better than a Mickey Pretzel. There. We said it. The full spread There’s some indoor seating, but there’s quite a bit more outside.

Change can be hard, especially when it comes to your favorite snacks and drinks. Swan and Dolphin Hotels Disney World has a long-standing partnership with Coca-Cola, which you can see at several places throughout the theme parks, especially at one of our favorite EPCOT stops, Club Cool. There’s also a whole multi-story building dedicated to having the ultimate Coca-Cola experience at Disney Springs, sipping sodas from a scenic rooftop. So if you’re a Pepsi products fan visiting Disney World, surrounded by Coca-Cola everywhere, is there any hope for getting Pepsi anywhere? Asking for a soda around the Disney World theme parks, water parks, and most of the hotels will only ever return you flavors from the lineup of Coca-Cola products. While it’s fun to taste the different flavors of “Coke” from other countries when visiting EPCOT, that’s about as adventurous as Disney gets when deviating from the standard flavors that typically include Coke, Coke Zero, Diet Coke, Sprite, and Fanta. Drinks But if you’re a big soda drinker (let’s face it, there’s a lot of us), you’re also probably brand loyal. If your preferred soda comes from the Pepsi lineup in your daily life, being offered the option of a Coke over a Pepsi is almost like offering Monopoly money in exchange for real currency… sometimes it just isn’t a fair shake. But we’ve found the best solution for you and you don’t even have to leave Disney World to get your Pepsi fix! Fuel If you’ve never ventured over to the Swan and Dolphin resorts we’ve now just given you potentially the biggest reason to make it a priority on your next Disney trip. Most people don’t realize this but these hotels actually serve Pepsi products! And for fans of Dr Pepper, this is one of the only places to find that soda in all of Disney World. Dr. Pepper! The Swan and Dolphin hotels are also some of the only places that serve Red Bull if you need an energy drink to keep you going throughout your vacation. (You can find other energy drinks like Monster elsewhere in the parks.) ©Amazon So the next time you find yourself fading fast and needing to lift your spirits with the familiar hiss of opening a bottle of your favorite flavor of soda to gulp down, consider making the trek over to the Swan and Dolphin resorts to get you through. As always, be sure to check back in with us at Disney Food Blog for the latest in Disney food and drink news!

If you consider yourself a Disney Adult or Disney Parks fanatic, you’ve probably heard of “drinking around the world” at EPCOT. EPCOT Drinking around the world is when EPCOT visitors grab an alcoholic drink in each of the 11 countries represented in World Showcase. While some folks prefer to treat themselves to fun beverages, we’re choosing to grab all the best SNACKS on this adventure. So, if you’re interested in what we feel are the BEST snacks from each of the countries, then come along with us as we eat around the world! Today, we will be starting on the left side of World Showcase, in Mexico. Eating around the world does not have as much controversy as drinking around the world, as there isn’t tequila to knock us off our feet right off the bat when we’re eating around the world. Let’s go! Mexico Mexico is home to some GREAT margaritas and some small bites. While the better drinks can be found at La Cava del Tequila inside the pyramid, the Empanada de Barbacoa is our favorite snack in Mexico that can be found at Choza de Margarita. Empanada de Barbacoa for $13 — Choza de Margarita The Empanada de Barbacoa is a plate of Empanadas filled with Barbacoa Beef, topped with Chipotle Sauce, Crema Mexicana and Queso Fresco. Served with a side of Corn Esquites. Empanada de Barbacoa It’s tasty, it’s filling, and it’s perfect to share if you’re hoping for a lighter snack, or great to eat alone if you’re wanting something more filling. It’s our favorite quick option if we’re dining in Mexico. Norway Next up, let’s head to Norway! School Bread for $4.49 — Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe School Bread is a fan-favorite option in Norway. This treat is a sweet roll that’s been filled with custard and then rolled in coconut. School Bread We like this treat because it kicks our sweet tooth without being too heavy! China Over in China, we’re headed to a snack stand! Pork Eggrolls for $5.25 — Joy of Tea Kiosk The Pork Eggrolls at Joy of Tea are one of our favorite quick snacks to grab as we’re walking around the park. This snack is two pork and cabbage egg rolls. Pork Eggrolls They’re crispy and light, and they have a great balance of meat and veggies. We also feel that $5.25 is a great price for these bad boys. Germany Pretzel Bread Pudding for $4.79 — Sommerfest The Pretzel Bread Pudding at Sommerfest is made with what we think is leftover pretzels (like traditional bread pudding is made with leftover bread). It’s then topped with Caramel Butterscotch and a White Cream Sauce. Pretzel Bread Pudding It’s absolutely delicious, and we think it’s a great snack to grab for less than $5. It’s very sweet, decadent, and caramel-y. Italy Ciao, bella! Let’s go to Italy! Coppa del Nonno for $12.75 — Gelateria Toscana The Coppa del Nonno, which translates to Grandpa’s cup/Grandpa’s gelato, is a sort of sundae made with Vanilla, Chocolate, and Cookies & Cream gelato, which is then topped with Chocolate Sauce, Whipped Cream, and Amaretto Cookies. Coppa del Nonno It’s definitely big enough to share, but it’s good enough that you WON’T want to. America Just like home, right? Let’s get a taste of classic American dishes! Loaded Burnt Ends Fries for $12.99 — Regal Eagle Smokehouse The Loaded Burnt Ends Fries are a relatively new dish at Regal Eagle and is a plate of Seasoned French Fries with Burnt Ends, Macaroni & Cheese, and Beer-battered Onion Rings. Loaded Burnt Ends Fries These are DELICIOUS. They’re also super filling, so they’re great to share or have as a whole meal if you’re eating alone. Japan Japan is home to quite a few of our favorite quick bites. Kakigori for $6.50 — Kabuki Cafe If you’re looking for something cold and refreshing, the Kakigori at Kabuki Cafe is a great option. It’s Japanese shaved ice! Rainbow Kakigori We love the rainbow flavor! It’s light and refreshing but also packed with flavor. Morocco Next up, we’re headed to Morocco! Moroccan Pastry (Pistachio Baklava) for $2.75 — Oasis Sweets and Sips Here, you can choose from an assortment of Saragli, Ghriba-Kourabiedes, Pistachio Baklava, Almond Crescent Cookie, Flogeres, Sesame Koulouria, Melomakarona, Marble Koulouria, Ergolavos, Anise Fekkas, Kataifi, and Almond Briwat. Pistachio Baklava We tried the Pistachio Baklava on this trip, and it was DELICIOUS. It’s packed with flavor and is also light enough of a sweet treat to leave you satisfied but not feeling icky. France Bonjour! Let’s go to France! Ratatouille Galette for $10.25 — Le Creperie De Paris The Ratatouille Galette is a tomato, zucchini, and eggplant galette, and it is DELISH. A galette is just a savory crepe. Ratatouille Galette We’d recommend this for a light lunch if you’re not wanting a sweet treat from France. UK Now, it’s time to head to the United Kingdom! Fish and Chips for $12.99 —Yorkshire County Fish and Chips Shop This is THE iconic dish served up in the UK pavilion! This is flaky, crispy, white fish served up with steak fries and some tartar sauce. Fish and Chips If you love fried fish, this dish might be a must-get for you. Canada Last but not least, we have made it to Canada! Maple Popcorn for $6.50 — Canada Popcorn Cart In Canada, we head straight to the popcorn stand for some good ol’ maple popcorn. Sometimes, simplicity is best! Maple Popcorn It’s sweet, it’s salty, it’s everything we could want from popcorn. It’s so good, and we get it nearly every time we’re in Canada! Well folks, there you have it! We ended this day with a happy heart and a VERY full tummy. Consider both our sweet AND salty tooths KICKED.

In the last few months of 2023, EPCOT is BUSY. Crowds in EPCOT With new character meet and greets, Disney100 celebrations, the Food & Wine Festival, and a brand-new attraction opening, there are plenty of reasons to visit the parks. Right now, Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana is drawing in quite a few guests because Annual Passholder and Disney Vacation Club previews are in progress. And if you were hoping to stop by the park this upcoming weekend, we have a warning for you! When we checked early in the morning on September 29th, Disney Park Passes for EPCOT were sold out for both today (Friday) and the upcoming Sunday — October 1st. Around 10AM, Park Passes were refilled for both of those days, but we’ve seen availability come and go frequently over the past week. EPCOT Annual Passholder previews for Journey of Water began on September 24th and run through today. There will be no previews tomorrow, September 30th, but they’ll pick back up next week and run from October 1st to 4th. On the first day of previews, which was a Sunday, we experienced an incredibly crowded EPCOT, with lines so long to get into Journey of Water that Disney had to open a virtual queue. Journey of Water preview The virtual queue hasn’t been necessary every day of previews, but we noticed it in use again on the morning of Friday, September 29th. Boarding groups were getting called back fairly quickly (almost immediately, in fact), but Passholders were still required to enter the queue in order to experience Journey of Water. Annual Passholder preview crowds If you are an Annual Passholder and you would like to check out the new attraction, you’re required to have a Disney Park Pass for EPCOT on the day of your visit. Guests who enter the park after 2PM without a reservation or those who are Park Hopping from another park will not be allowed to do a preview. So if you want to visit today or Sunday, make sure to snag a Park Pass quickly before they sell out again! ©Disney We’ll keep you updated with more information about these previews and the crowds in EPCOT in the coming days, so stay tuned to DFB.

A popular Disney World hotel perk is finally RETURNING! Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Disney World hotels have lots of great perks that guests can take advantage of, like free transportation between the parks and hotels, Early Entry at all four theme parks every day, and fun activities like campfires and crafts. However, one perk has been MISSING for a while now. We’re happy to announce that it’s finally coming back super soon! We recently reminded y’all that boat service between Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campgrounds and Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is currently not available. That transportation perk has been missing for quite a while now, but it will finally RETURN on October 1st! Boat Starting on the 1st, the “blue route” will take guests across Bay Lake between Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campgrounds, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, and Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Note that this service will not begin until 3PM each day. Disney’s Contemporary Resort If you want to get between these resorts earlier in the day, you have a few options: The easiest option to get between Fort Wilderness and Wilderness Lodge is to take the bus instead. Yes, there is a bus that runs directly between these resorts (which is pretty unique for Disney World — other hotels aren’t connected to each other via bus). The Yellow Line bus runs between Fort Wilderness and Wilderness Lodge. It’ll take you between the front entrance of Wilderness Lodge and the Settlement at Fort Wilderness. (Disney has said that they anticipate this route will continue, although they can’t be sure it won’t change in the future — we’ll keep an eye out for more updates.) You can also take a boat from one resort to Magic Kingdom, disembark, and then board another boat to your destination (e.g., sail from Wilderness Lodge to Magic Kingdom, disembark, and board the Contemporary Resort boat). This could definitely take a while — likely at least an hour — so keep that in mind if you’re on a time crunch and need to be somewhere quickly, such as if you have restaurant reservations. Take the boat! A while back, there was one boat route that sailed between Wilderness Lodge, Fort Wilderness, and Magic Kingdom. However, those routes will continue to remain separate for now, with one boat between Wilderness Lodge and Magic Kingdom and a different route between Fort Wilderness and Magic Kingdom. The only route that connects the two will be the returning blue route. Fort Wilderness With the blue route, you can more easily get between the hotels. That means you can enjoy even more restaurants during your trip, like Steakhouse 71 at the Contemporary, Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue at Fort Wilderness, and Whispering Canyon Café at Wilderness Lodge, just to name a few. Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue Dinner Show With DOZENS of places to eat at Disney World, we know it can be tough to plan your meals. That’s why we wrote the DFB Guide to Dining at Walt Disney World.

Today, Sept. 28, Disney Vacation Club officially opened The Villas at Disneyland Hotel at the Disneyland Resort.View the full article

The Disneyland Hotel is a popular choice for many folks over on the West Coast, and it’s about to become even more popular for some! Disneyland Hotel On September 28th, the Villas at Disneyland Hotel opened its doors — providing 12 stories worth of Disney Vacation Club villas to the hotel. These brand-new rooms will provide an updated space for Disneyland regulars and new visitors alike to relax while they’re away from the parks. The best part? We got to check them out, and believe us when we say that they are STUNNING. The Villas at Disneyland Hotel have rooms themed to different Disney classics like The Jungle Book, Sleeping Beauty, The Princess and the Frog, Fantasia, and more. Of course, we’re taking you along so that you can check them out, too. Are you ready? Let’s go! First, let’s talk about some of your options here. There are a variety of room types at the Disneyland Hotel, ranging from a duo studio to a three-bedroom Grand Villa. Here’s a peek at the grand exterior. How exciting! Inside the lobby, guests will enter a bright, colorful space full of Disney details. Before we even step inside, we’re already spotting some nods to a few classic Disney attractions. See those Haunted Mansion portraits straight ahead? Let’s head inside! The sign located out front gives you a good idea of what to expect. Look out for pretty colors, beautiful art, and lots of Disney details! Here’s another look at the entrance First up, let’s check out the lobby. The lobby There’s lots of art, sketches, and models all around! We love seeing the concept art for some of Disney’s classic movies. We love all this artwork! Every good lobby needs some comfortable seating, right? It’s so bright! This may be our favorite part — look at this mural! It’s got all our favorite Disney characters. WOW! Need to get in a workout? They’ve got you covered! The gym Now, let’s check out the Two-bedroom Villa. These rooms are inspired by Disney’s Fantasia. 2-Bedroom Villa The bathroom is clean and bright — and we love the tilework! Look at this gorgeous shower! Can we all take a moment to appreciate this MOSAIC?! Look at this! Here’s a look at the other bedroom. The headboards are so whimsical! There’s plenty of space in this room! The kitchen is stocked with plenty of glasses and dishes, plus a few nods to Fantasia. Do you see the little Sorcerer Mickey? The kitchen Here’s the view from the living room area. The Fantasia room is stunning When the murphy bed is pulled down, a cute picture of Mickey is revealed! This is the Murphy Bed! Moving on, let’s explore the new Deluxe Studio rooms. These are Sleeping Beauty-themed, and you’ll find lots of dreamy details around this room. They sleep four and are about 340 square feet. Look at all the little details! The bathroom here has plenty of light for those who are doing hair and makeup before a night out in Disneyland! Deluxe Studio Bathroom Of course, we must show off the bed with that beautiful castle artwork! Check out the Sleeping Beauty inspiration! As you can see, there are tons of Sleeping Beauty details here. More stunning art! Up next, we toured the One-bedroom Villa, which is inspired by The Princess and the Frog movie! 1-Bedroom room Princess Tiana looks STUNNING in this portrait! Gorgeous! Don’t forget to look UP! Even the ceiling looks good. Even the ceiling is beautiful! The shower is nice and large! Here’s a peek at the shower In the living room, the couch has a murphy bed tucked away. This is the living room If you’re looking for a smaller room, consider the Duo Studio. Can you guess the theme? Can you guess the theme? Yep, Disney went with some colorful Jungle Book themeing here! This was a tiny little room The artwork features a soft color palette while the textiles are bright and colorful! Here’s a closer look at the art Here’s a look at the TV, fridge, and counter area. The TV has a nice glow going on! Finally, on to the Three-bedroom Villa. As you can expect, this room was large, luxurious, and elegant. Welcome to the three-bedroom villa The room features a full-size kitchen, complete with all the amenities you may need during your vacation. The kitchen is gorgeous. In keeping with the theme, we spotted lots of nods to Disney movies, like Frozen and Moana. Look at that wall detail! There was lots of beautiful art all around. There’s lots of ‘Frozen’ art here! The Moana room was quite large, so there’s plenty of room to spread out. This room is so spacious As you can see, even the staircase was filled with subtle Disney touches. Even the staircase is themed to perfection! The windows were HUGE — imagine all the natural light that pours through this room. Here’s the view from above Of course, we had to see the view from the balcony. We could stay out here alllll day. The balcony is gigantic! OK, on to the next area! Of course, no Disney hotel is complete without a POOL! Right near the new tower, you’ll find the brand-new Palette Pool area. Off to the pool! We had to include a shout-out to this comically large sign warning guests about the pool water. Don’t drink it. They wanted to be VERY clear here. The pool deck has lots of seating and a good amount of umbrellas for a little shade. There’s lots of seats! The new pool is nice and large here! Check out the pool!

We’ve had our fair share of Disney snacks, but every once in a while something comes along that really wows us. Atomic Pretzel Mickey pretzels and churros are great, but when you’re searching for something special they just won’t hit the spot. We’ve tried plenty of new snacks around the parks and hotels lately, but we think we may have found one that is really something. We hopped on over to Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel to stop by GCH Craftsman Grill for one reason and one reason only: The Gordita Dog. What exactly is a gordita dog? We’re so glad you asked. The gordita dog is a cheese-crusted flatbread filled with a black bean spread, stuffed with an all-beef hot dog, and topped with pico de gallo, chipotle aioli, and fresh cilantro served with a side. We picked fries! You can get this dog for $13.75. Gordita dog We’ve tried a lot of hot dogs of the month at Craftsman Grill, and this one is definitely one of the most interesting. The cheese-crusted flatbread was our favorite part and really elevated the hot dog, which is not really something we ever thought we’d say. It was warm and cheesy with a little spice from the aioli, and there was a nice crunch on the outside despite it being light and fluffy on the inside. On the inside The pico de gallo went well with the flatbread and added a welcome acidity to an otherwise pretty savory, salty snack. The beans provided an earthy, sweet flavor that helped to fully round the flavors out. The hot dog itself is definitely overpowered by everything else going on here, but we certainly didn’t mind. Unfortunately, our fries were served more cold and crunchy than hot and fluffy, and there wasn’t a whole lot of actual potato on the inside — as if someone left them in the fryer for too long. Our fries were cold If you’ve ever had a Sonoran hot dog, this is kind of reminiscent of that. Fans of tacos, Mexican flavors, and hot dogs would likely get a kick out of this. We loved this inventive and fun take on a normally standard snack and think it should be added to the permanent menu! If you’re not a hot dog person, or fan of tacos or similar flavors, you might not like this as much as we did.

Sometimes, breakups can be hard… and messy. Breaking up with your Disney World annual pass could be one of the most heartwrenching decisions to make. Annual Pass Even with hotel stay promotions, complimentary souvenir magnets, and merchandise discounts offered to Disney World annual passholders, sometimes those just aren’t benefits that are enough to keep renewing your annual pass year after year. And for several of our readers, it’s time to move on from the days of calling themselves annual passholders for many different reasons. Disney World annual passes seem to be a divisive topic as of late with some very vocal about their intent to not renew them. Disney World We recently asked our readers on Facebook why they were not renewing their Disney World annual passes and we had lots of opinions that really seemed to have merit to their responses. Price When we asked our readers why they weren’t renewing their Disney annual pass, the overwhelming majority sent out one answer … the price. Our reader, Sherry D.G. wrote, “Prices are getting out of control,” and others like Carey M. said, “Ours expires Nov 11. We want to renew as usual, we just can’t afford to this time round . I hope we can get them back in the near future.” Disney World Annual Pass Rising prices have been a big topic surrounding the Disney parks for quite some time. If you consider the rising costs of the passes and factor in perks that were once offered free with them like Fastpass+ and PhotoPass downloads, some of our readers say they’re just not worth it anymore. Paula W. explained “You’re paying more and getting less. Constantly. I also hate that bc everything is on your phone— there’s no escape from reality anymore.” Not Able to Visit as Often Some readers like, Deborah T. said, “I’m not sure we will be able to visit for enough days to make it worthwhile,” and that also seemed to be a common response. Annual Passholder Lounge at EPCOT If you don’t live close to Disney World, paying for travel to Orlando and hotels for a few days multiple times a year can really add up quickly. Our reader JJ S. also pointed out “We make two trips down a year, would take at least another trip to break even,” so depending on how far you’re traveling, your travel costs alone could cancel out the value in the annual pass. Desire to Travel to Other Destinations Revenge travel — the pent-up demand for a vacation that many people felt after staying home during the pandemic — created a huge surge in Disney World travel in 2021 and 2022. Now, readers like Charles F. are saying “We have decided to travel more to other places in the world.” ©Disney Many of our readers cited places like Disneyland, Hawaii, National Parks, and even other theme park destinations like Dollywood and Universal Studios down the road from Disney World as places they would like to visit soon. Reader Jenny M. said just as much in her comment “We want to prioritize other places to visit – Disneyland, Dollywood, National Parks, etc.” and who could blame someone for wanting to switch up their travel plans for a while. Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland Additionally, with Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe on the horizon for 2025, it seems like some annual passholders plan to spend at least some of their theme park dollars at other parks. Catherine S. said she has plans for “Universal Nintendo World + other financial obligations. It’s very pricey, even as an AP.” Shift In Priorities That last reader comment made another interesting point about “other financial obligations.” Sometimes, travel and recreation just has to take a back seat in your budget. Annual Passholder preview crowds Jennifer B. said, “$$$$. Had to buy a new car and move this year. Add 2 college tuitions and we just can’t afford it.” Others like Andrew J. raised their own questions like “Do some realistic accounting: how often do you visit, how much do you spend on food, hotels, transportation, etc. Does having a very expensive pass offset that cost?” All of these things like college tuition, raising families, finding or building new homes, and weighing the expense versus the experience all seem like decisions grown-ups have to make at one point or another in their own lives. Family is everything We also heard from a few of our readers that they intended to just take a break for a while, but had plans to be back. Rick L. said, “We let it lapse a couple months ago because we weren’t planning any extended stays for a year or so. Not worth spending 2k if we weren’t going to use it.” Is an Annual Pass the Same Value Anymore? If you’re looking for the short answer to that, well… no, at least according to several of our readers like Dawn H. explained “Too many “extra” costs (genie + etc) not happy about making reservations for the parks. When I do go it’s still magical because of the family memories. Going to sit back and see what changes are coming and reassess for the coming years.” ©Disney Our reader, Brianna Q., echoed similar sentiments saying “I didn’t renew mine Platinum passes in 2021 because of cost and the fact that fast passes were done away with. I miss going but I’m not paying extra for things that used to be included with the passes I had🫤” It seems that for several people who are not renewing or not planning to renew their annual passes once they expire, it really came down to the benefits. We ask for feedback about Disney topics often from our readers and it was interesting to read so many varying reasons why people are stepping away from Disney World annual passes!

We are no strangers to the Disney snack hack. We LOVE a snack hack! Whether we are putting ice cream on our Mickey waffles or creating our very own Chili Cheese Nachos, we love it when we can put a fun twist on an already great item. But did you know there is an iconic snack hack gaining popularity at McDonald’s? Yep, there’s a new twist on some of our favorites, but you have to time it out just right to get it! If you’re anything like us, getting to McDonald’s at 10:35 can be a bit of a disappointment, since most McDonald’s in the U.S. stop serving breakfast at 10:30AM. But, according to Today, a new trend taking over TikTok right now might make 10:35 the perfect time to be there. McDonald’s Apparently, the “McBrunch Burger” combines a few ingredients from the restaurant’s breakfast menu with their rest-of-the-day staples. It’s made up of two cheeseburger patties, bacon, eggs, and a hash brown on top of a sesame seed bun — and you can only get it right in between the chain’s two dining periods. TikTok user Tommy Winkler shared his experience in the video below. While this sounds like an amazing combo — it does require some cooperation on the staff’s end. Some TikTokers have had to order both a breakfast item and a Double Cheeseburger and then build the McBrunch burger themselves. But keep in mind that it might not be possible at all locations. Sometimes, stores are very strict about not serving any breakfast items after 10:30, and we definitely don’t want to make any trouble with employees.

Theme park food is good and all, but sometimes you just need a break from the popcorn, pretzels, and chicken tenders. Sometimes, Mickey Pretzels and Plastic Cheese just don’t cut it! (Rare but true) Magic Kingdom is one of those parks where it can seem that typical theme park food is the ONLY option available. Magic Kingdom isn’t exactly known for its gourmet cuisine, so one thing we recommend to Magic Kingdom visitors who are looking for a quick bite to eat that’s a bit tastier than the quick service options in the park is to venture beyond the gates and to the Monorail Resorts. Those looking for delicious sandwiches are pointed in the direction of Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Today, we’re reviewing a new sandwich that you can find there. Let’s go! Located just a short walk away from Magic Kingdom’s Entrance is the Contemporary, which boasts one of our favorite quick service eateries on property — Contempo Cafe. Here, you can indulge in an impressive variety of sandwiches, flatbreads, small bites, and even a few desserts. Contempo Cafe Today, we’re heading to Contempo Cafe to try out the Barbecued Beef and Cheddar Sub, which is Barbecued Beef, White Cheddar, and Country Slaw on a Baguette for $12.99. Y’all, we were impressed from the moment this was placed into our hands. LOOK AT IT. This sammie came LOADED with lots of slaw, sauce, and of course — these fries came piping hot. YUM. Before we even tried this, we realized that this sub is messy and MEATY. We were genuinely shocked by the amount of beef in this, especially for the price. The large amount of slaw is also interesting, but we’ll see if it enhances the taste at all before we diss on that. Holy SLAW. So, it’s time to taste. First thoughts? BARBECUE SAUCE. Holy wow, it was so sweet and delicious, despite there being a LOT of it. At the same time, there is a lot of beef on this sandwich, so it makes sense. The cheddar flavor is definitely there, but compared to how much beef and slaw there is, it doesn’t come through a whole lot. A beef and sauce shot! Now, we can talk about the slaw. It’s fresh, crunchy, slightly sweet, and it WORKS. We really thought that it was going to be too overwhelming. Combined with the sweet barbecue sauce and all that meat, it really balances out the dish well and provides a fresh crunch and flavor that we appreciate. It’s so good, y’all! As for the bread, we LOVED it. It’s soft with a crispy exterior, just like a good baguette should be. It was easy to bite off and chew, and it paired well with this type of sandwich. Oh, and those fries? Piping hot and perfectly salted. A great choice to accompany the sammie. It’s so good! If there was one thing we could change about this sandwich, we’re going to be a bit picky about the beef. It was tender. It was delicious. However, it would have been even better on this sandwich if it had a bit more of a developed flavor — maybe if it had a saltier, smokier flavor to accompany the sweet barbecue sauce. If the flavor of the beef was just a liiiiiittle more developed, this would be a perfect sandwich. So… Should YOU try the Barbecued Beef and Cheddar Sub? Well, if you love barbecue sauce, have a big appetite after your trek around the park, and don’t mind a messier meal, then this is the sandwich for you. If you’re looking for something light, on the other hand, maybe skip this one. You should also probably choose something else if you don’t like slaw. Yum! We’ll continue to keep you updated with more Disney news, reviews, and advice, so make sure to follow along so that you’re always in the loop and NEVER hungry.
