Would you live in a house that was built by Disney? ©Disney Believe it or not, you actually can. Storyliving by Disney’s Cotino is a master-planned community that will bring some of the joys of the parks right into the neighborhood with specially designed spaces — and we just got another look and more details about what we can expect! Storyliving by Disney has shared a new look at what we can expect from Cotino, the new master-planned community coming to California’s Coachella Valley. We’ve seen some of the concept art before, but now we have a better idea of what this entire community will look like. This first “chapter” of the new community will feature more than 300 homes, one-third of which will be designated for ages 55 and up. ©Disney Cotino will feature a range of homes and lot sizes that reflect the history of the surrounding Palm Springs area under the creative image of Imagineering. There will be three different single-family home collections: The Cottage Collection will be built on home sites approximately 50 feet wide; the Grand Collection on home sites approximately 60 and 70 feet wide; and the Estate Collection on home sites approximately 90, 120, and 135 feet wide. The initial phase will be built on Gerald Ford Drive and Bob Hope Drive in Rancho Mirage. Those who are 55+ can enjoy an area dedicated to them known as Longtable Park residences, seen below. The name is “inspired by Walt Disney and the experiences that originally drew him to the Coachella Valley.” ©Disney Pre-sales appointments are expected to start later this year, and you’ll be able to learn more about the parks coming to the neighborhood. Laughing Place Ranch will be an equestrian-themed dog park where “residents of all ages and their four-legged friends can gather.” The overall layout of the community will “promote connectivity with picturesque promenades where residents can spend time together while taking in stunning views of Cotino Bay, which will feature the clearest turquoise waters with Crystal Lagoons technology, and the surrounding mountains.” Along Cotino Bay, there will be a “lively town center” that features “sensational shopping and delectable dining.” If this sounds like a place you want to live, you can visit the Storyliving by Disney website to learn more. ©Disney We’ll be keeping an eye on more updates from this community and other Disney news, so stay tuned to DFB for the latest!

It seems like every time we turned around this summer, ANOTHER Disney movie was hitting the theaters. ©Disney With events like National Cinema Day and discounted summer tickets, it was more tempting than ever to come out and watch these movies… maybe even more than once. But don’t worry, if you may have missed your chance to see them in theaters, you’ll be able to see a few of them on Disney+ very soon! It wasn’t too long ago this year that films like Elemental and The Little Mermaid dominated the big screen. Since then, we’ve been antsy to watch (or rewatch) these, plus some other new Disney titles, from the comfort of our own homes. ©Disney But that’s not ALL that is releasing soon on Disney+! We’ve got a few new series AND new shows that will soon be joining the Disney+ service. Let’s take a look at when you can anticipate watching these new titles! New Goosebumps Series On Friday, October 13th, Disney+ and Hulu are releasing the newly reimagined Goosebumps series. Goosebumps will be presented as a chilling new series inspired by R.L. Stine’s worldwide bestselling book series of the same name and will debut on both Disney+ and Hulu simultaneously. ©Disney The new 10-part series will launch with a five-episode drop as part of Disney+’s “Hallowstream” and Hulu’s “Huluween” celebrations and will subsequently have new episodes streaming weekly. The first two episodes will also air on October 13th on Freeform as part of its “31 Nights of Halloween” event. Marvel Studios Legends ©Marvel The Disney+ Original Marvel Studios Legends joins the lineup of new Marvel content for Disney+ with the release of two episodes on September 29th. These initial episodes will answer some burning questions like “What exactly is a Variant?” and will explore the mysterious origins of the Time Variance Authority. Disney’s Launchpad ©Disney Rounding out the month, 6 episodes of the second season of Disney’s Launchpad, live-action shorts that feature the adventures of teens and children, are set to debut on September 29th. Star Wars: Ahsoka ©Disney Disney+ will also air episode 5 on September 13th of Star Wars: Ahsoka, which follows the trials and tribulations of Ahsoka Tano as she investigates a threat to the galaxy. New episodes will be available every Wednesday, with episodes 4 through 7 airing in late September. Ahsoka Additionally, on September 15th, 2023, audiences can continue their quest for more of Star Wars’ legacy with Master & Apprentice: A Special Look at Ahsoka. Toy Story Funday Football ©Disney/ ESPN Disney+ will present a fully animated, real-time alternate telecast of the October 1st game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Atlanta Falcons. The game is one of the league’s yearly London matchups and is ESPN’s first regular season game that’s exclusive to ESPN+, where it will also air. The animated version will take place in Pixar’s Toy Story universe, with the field laid out on the floor of Andy’s room. Haunted Mansion ©Disney Disney’s Haunted Mansion film, inspired by the classic Disney parks attraction, will make its debut on Disney+ on October 4th. This spooky but comedic story follows a mother and son as they attempt to rid their new home of the ghostly ghouls within, but not everyone has such evil intent! The newly reimagined live-action film will join the ranks of other live-action movies that have recently hit the streaming platform, like Mulan, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and more. Marvel’s Loki – Season 2 – Episode 1 ©Disney Loki quickly swept us off our feet with the first season that hit Disney+ in the summer of 2021. Since then, fans have been very vocal about their wishes for a quick release of a second season featuring the wisecracking, mischievous Loki and his variant forms. Marvel fans will be able to rejoice again when Loki Season 2 drops on Disney+ on October 6th, 2023. And there you have it!

Could one Disney rumor become a reality soon? And if it does, what would it mean for Disney and its fans? ©Disney Some Disney rumors have come true — like the hushed whispers about a potential return of Bob Iger as CEO — while others have simply kept circulating within the rumor mill. One big rumor that has been going around for a while and has recently picked up some more steam is the possibility of Disney being sold to Apple. In fact, it’s something Iger speculated might have occurred if Steve Jobs was still alive. To some, selling Disney to Apple might seem like a great idea, but it will come with its own set of complicated challenges… In August of 2023, Iger was asked whether Disney could be sold to a larger tech company. Apple may not have been directly mentioned, but the implications were pretty clear given the recent rumors of such a sale being considered. Iger did not give a straightforward “no” but instead said, “I just am not going to speculate about the potential for Disney to be acquired by any company.” He went on to say that the “global regulatory environment” needs to be considered and that a potential acquisition is “not something we obsess about.” Iger concluded, “I’ll say no more than that.” ©Disney But, as we noted above, it is something Iger has certainly considered, at least in the past. In his memoir, Iger wrote, “I believe that if Steve [Jobs] were still alive, we would have combined our companies, or at least discussed the possibility very seriously.” According to The Hollywood Reporter, Needham & Co. analyst Laura Martin has predicted that Disney “will be purchased during the next three years.” And some of the statements Iger has made recently — particularly about Disney’s cable networks not being “core” to the Company, indicating a potential openness to a future sale of some of those assets — have only fueled rumors of a Disney sale ©Disney Let’s assume the rumors of a Disney sale become reality, what could happen to the Disney Company we know today? Let’s take a look. 1 — The Disney Company Would Drastically CHANGE First, to enable a sale, the Walt Disney Company we know today would likely have to change dramatically and would look very different by the time it ended up being acquired by Apple. Mainly, pieces (potentially large chunks) of the Company would likely be sold off to slim things down. According to The Hollywood Reporter, one observer previously shared that they don’t think Apple would buy Disney in its current state, “But if you see Bob start to divest things…that feels like he’s prepping for a sale. And there’s clearly no buyer like Apple.” ©Disney Soon after that statement was made is when Iger went on a CNBC interview and discussed how ABC and Disney’s cable networks may not be “core” to Disney, that the business model for those businesses is broken, and that Disney would be “expansive” and “objective” about the future of those businesses. Many took this as Iger’s way of hanging a “for sale” sign on those businesses — which could be the first step in getting Disney ready for an acquisition by Apple. CNBC points out that Apple likely wouldn’t “want to be in the dying cable television business.” Selling off those assets could make a sale more enticing. Tropical Tart The Hollywood Reporter points out that things like Disney Channel and Disney Junior “would seem to be of minimal value without the larger company’s content and backing.” That’s why one observer has predicted that Disney could “load those assets with debt and sell to private equity.” Some, like Michael Nathanson of MoffettNathanson — have speculated about the potential creation of 2 Disney companies — one focused on parks, consumer products, and Disney+, and another for everything else — suggesting a “clean break.” (Earnings Call Transcript Q3 FY 2023 — Motley Fool) Cinderella Castle ESPN, however, could be of interest to Apple since it has “dabbled in owning sports rights” (CNBC) and acquiring some media rights to big sporting events. Perhaps a Disney company that has relieved itself of the “dying” cable networks but has retained ESPN would be something Apple would look at with interest. Could Disney consider breaking up its businesses in a similar way to make an Apple acquisition more likely? It’s certainly possible. But it seems that if Disney does want to be bought by Apple, it’s likely that some significant changes for Disney as a Company and its assets could be on the way. Click here to see what one analyst has said about Disney being sold 2 — The Sale Would Face Heavy Scrutiny Another thing that would likely happen if an acquisition of Disney by Apple is announced is heavy scrutiny from the U.S. Government. The Hollywood Reporter points out that President Joe Biden’s administration has been “aggressive in suing to prevent significant deals from being completed.” The Federal Trade Commission points out that the law forbids mergers when the effect “may be substantially to lessen competition or to tend to create a monopoly.” The merger of these two HUGE companies — Apple and Disney — would likely raise a lot of concerns. ©Apple Anthony Sabino, an attorney and professor at St. John’s University, has said that “it’s an absolute certainty that if there was some talk of Disney merging with somebody else, that would be scrutinized to the nth degree by the FTC.” On the one hand, the overlap between Apple and Disney is not all that big. However, the enormous size of each company and their combined power is what could cause some issues. CNBC says that it is “ambiguous at best, and unlikely at worst, whether regulators would allow a deal to proceed.” Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, CA If they were determined to make it happen, Disney and Apple could potentially sue to win approval, but that would be a time-consuming process, adding a lot of uncertainty to their businesses. Some recent FTC and Department of Justice cases could provide Disney and Apple with ideas as to how to handle the situation, and certain terms that could encourage regulators to approve an acquisition, but whether it would all work is not clear. ©Apple Is Disney willing to take that risk, particularly at a time when stock values are so low and the Company has other battles to face (like drops in theme park attendance at some locations)? Is Apple willing to get itself into a potentially lengthy regulatory battle — are Disney’s assets worth the potential hassle to them? Those are some key questions that would need to be answered before anything moves forward. 3 — An Uproar Could Ensue Let’s say Apple decides to buy Disney, what will the fans think? Well, things could go well…or they could go spectacularly wrong. The Hollywood Reporter warns, “Loyal Disney fans, many of whom are shareholders, would be wary of a tech company’s commitment to Disney’s core entertainment and theme park businesses.” As CNBC points out, “Apple has no core competency running theme parks or selling the kinds of consumer products Disney offers.” That may cause people to be extremely worried about the future of the parks and whether those could be sold off to others in the future, seriously impacting their quality. What will the fans think? That could result in some big problems. Sabino cautions, “The uproar from Disney shareholders would be insane.” But considering the fact that there are over 1 billion shares of Disney stock outstanding, and more than 60% of shares are owned by institutional investors, the shareholder fans “may not have what it takes to block a deal.” Click here to see what our readers had to say about Disney selling off some assets and whether they should (or should NOT) do it 4 — Practical Changes Aside from an uproar from fans, the division of the existing Walt Disney Company, and heavy government scrutiny, there are some more practical implications that could result from an acquisition of Disney by Apple. For example, in the Disney theme parks, we could see Apple technology integrated a LOT more. You can already use your Apple Watch to scan your park ticket with MagicMobile and if you have an iPhone, you may have already used Apple Pay to purchase some items in the parks too. But we could see Apple products integrated into the parks in much more purposeful and imaginative ways. Baymax Apple Watch band Perhaps Apple will push for its watches to become treated much more like MagicBands and have interactive features in the parks. We could also see Apple technology implemented on rides, in photo ops, in stores, or in other experiences. Combining the technological advancements from Apple and Walt Disney Imagineering could change how rides, animatronics, and more are developed in the future and the type of software or hardware they use. Hey, Dok! We could also see new or improved Disney-related apps on the Apple app store (whether those are for the parks or for Disney content in general). We know those who have experienced tech-related issues with the My Disney Experience app would probably be thrilled about that! In terms of more company-related changes, the acquisition would likely lead to big executive changes. Some leaders would likely leave or be let go in the transition process, and there could be major reorganizations in terms of company divisions to make it better fit whatever structure Apple uses or wants to use. Slinky Dog Dash From a technology standpoint on Apple’s side, the acquisition could mean that we’ll see greater integration of Disney products, shows, and content on Apple technology — from its computers to things like the Apple Vision Pro headset. Apple also owns its own streaming service — Apple TV+. If the acquisition gives Apple access to Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu, we could see some of the streaming services merged or perhaps bundled in unique ways. Miss Minutes is super creepy! Right now, Apple’s streaming service is so small they haven’t really “bothered to tell investors the number of Apple TV+ subscribers” per CNBC. But buying Disney could “supercharge those fledging businesses.” ESPN would be a particularly interesting thing to watch. Iger has indicated that there’s an “inevitability” to ESPN becoming largely a streaming service (Business Insider) and, as we mentioned above, Apple has at times become more interested in getting into broadcast sports and sports streaming. So that could provide Apple with some unique opportunities. ©ESPN At this time, what might happen with the future of Disney remains a mystery. They could sell off pieces of the Company to streamline things and make an Apple acquisition more likely. Or they could take an entirely different path. And with more immediate problems to deal with like dropping stock prices, the search for a new CEO, and the ongoing legal battles in Florida, a sale of the Company might not be the first priority. But we’ll be sure to watch for updates and let you know what we find. Stay tuned for all the latest. Disney CEO Bob Iger — Savior or Saboteur?

Dining in Disney World can be an experience all on its own. Color-changing mousse dessert at Topolino’s Terrace There are so many great restaurants within the parks, the hotels, and at Disney Springs. But we know there are a few restaurants that just don’t hit the mark, if you know what we mean. They look amazing, but then you try the food and realize it might not have been worth your time or money. So we’ve put together a list of a few restaurants that, in our experiences, all around weren’t great but had one thing that we would always go back for. We understand that everyone has different tastes and someone might like something that others don’t. But, for us, these are the worst restaurants in Disney World that you should go to anyway. And while we’re talking here about some of the WORST things in Disney World, we love to talk about the best stuff! You can watch our video about some of the awesome things in Disney World right here! Now, on to our list! Big River Grille & Brewing Works – Beer Cheese Soup Big River Brewing is a grill and brewery located at Disney’s Boardwalk Hotel. They offer outdoor and indoor seating. The outdoor seating atmosphere is pretty nice and indoor it doesn’t feel a whole like a brewery other than in one small part of the restaurant. Big River Grille & Brewing Works Most of the food on the menu seems a little overpriced and just pretty okay as far as flavor goes. It really isn’t a restaurant we would ever rave over. But the Beer Cheese Soup here is a complete game changer. You know us — if it’s cheese, we’re in. Beer Cheese Soup Their Beer Cheese Soup is nice and creamy with just the right amount of beer flavor added in. The croutons on top were a quite tasty addition! So while this restaurant is certainly not in the top 10 in Disney World, we continue to go back for this delicious beer cheese soup. You can get a bowl for $8! Rosie’s All-American-Cafe – Toasted Lobster Roll Rosie’s All-American-Cafe is a quick-service restaurant located at Sunset Ranch Market in Hollywood Studios. It’s right along Sunset Boulevard as you walk toward the Tower of Terror. Rosie’s All-American Cafe Rosie’s is nothing to write home about. The seating is all outside and shared with the other places in Sunshine Ranch Market, so on many days, it’s going to be hot while you sit outside and eat your food. The food here is just as you would guess, all-American. It’s got hotdogs, cheeseburgers, and chili-cheese dogs. But there is one special option on this menu that makes us keep wanting to go back to this basic cafe. The plant-based Toasted “Lobster” Roll. “Lobster” Roll Yep, there is no real lobster in this lobster roll, and we still loved it. It tastes a lot like a yummy, lemon and dill salad on a roll. This is anything but basic like most of the other options at Rosie’s. This sandwich is a great option for any vegan, plant-based eaters out there or for anyone else, really! Rosie’s is certainly nothing special, but we say go anyway and try the “lobster” roll! Try it for $10.49. Chef Mickey’s/Hollywood & Vine – Character Dining Okay, so we’re lumping two into one here for the same reason, character dining. Both Chef Mickey’s and Hollywood & Vine have okay food. This might be an unpopular opinion, but we had to say it. Both of these restaurants offer buffet-style, table-service meals. There are certainly better buffets in Disney World (we see you Boma). Chef Mickey’s! However, we see these restaurants booking up all the time and it’s because, at both of these places, you can dine with characters and BIG name characters! Over at Chef Mickey’s, you get to eat with Mickey and the gang and at Hollywood & Vine, it’s either Disney Jr. stars or Minnie and her friends (depending on which meal you go for!). The food here is lacking, honestly, but the atmosphere is top-notch! We would definitely say try them both out just to hang out with some characters! Tony’s Town Square Restaurant – Garlic Bread Tony’s Town Square Restaurant has probably never been anyone’s go-to restaurant. Tony’s is located in Magic Kingdom and is themed to Lady and the Tramp. So if you could guess, it serves up Italian food options. It’s left us pretty salty in the past (literally). The food here is really not that great. Tony’s Town Square But just like all the other restaurants on this list, it has one saving grace. It’s garlic bread. The appetizer Tony’s Garlic Bread For The Table is fantastic. This is top-tier garlic bread, and we are really telling you that you should go here even if everything else is bad just for the garlic bread. Trust us. It’s good. You can get it for $11. If some of these restaurants are some of your favorites, we hope you continue to enjoy them! For us, these are probably our least favorite in Disney World. But we think they each have one thing that makes it totally worth going back to them. They might be the worst, but we think they’re worth giving a try for each of their own reasons!

The new Disney Treasure cruise ship will have several different options for luxurious staterooms, but the FANCIEST room on board has to be the Tomorrow Tower Suite, which is themed after EPCOT! ©Disney This suite is meant to “capture the same forward-thinking mindset” that inspired the park, especially the World Discovery neighborhood (which is the one that has Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, Test Track, and Mission: SPACE). Now, Disney has revealed an awesome new detail about this room! Disney shared recently that there will be hidden FIGMENTS throughout the Tomorrow Tower Suite! You’ve seen hidden Mickeys, but we can’t wait to look for the adorable purple dragon throughout the suite. Figment Specifically, Disney said that “guests will encounter Figment posing in various hiding places” within the Tomorrow Tower Suite. Tomorrow Tower Suite ©Disney It was also announced that there will be a special sculpture at the base of the suite’s spiral staircase “that honors the iconic EPCOT landmark, Spaceship Earth.” Disney said that “the sculpture will bring the spirit of EPCOT to life when guests enter the suite through music and lighting effects.” Spaceship Earth Disney will also use “dynamic art pieces, molten metal accents and futuristic, colorful glass accents” to bring the EPCOT theme to life. Tomorrow Tower Suite Stateroom Of course, one of the best perks of staying in this suite is the VIEWS! The rooms overlook the top deck of the ship (they’re located inside the ship’s forward funnel!) and present an opportunity for guests to “glimpse the open horizon through an expansive two-story window.” The Disney Treasure, the newest ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet expansion, will set sail in December 2024, embarking on its inaugural season of seven-night itineraries to the Eastern and Western Caribbean from Port Canaveral, Florida. Adventure will serve as the architectural and thematic foundation of the ship, in honor of Walt Disney’s legendary passion for travel and exploration. (Disney) The suite is almost 2,000 square feet and comfortably sleeps eight guests. It has a full kitchen and its own private ensuite elevator. ©Disney Of course, the Tomorrow Tower Suite is just one of LOTS of amazing features on the Disney Treasure… and we’ll be right here happily sharing them all with you, so thanks for sticking with us.

NEW characters could be coming to Disneyland soon! Disneyland Disney is in the process of adding several characters to the parks — we recently saw a casting call for Luisa from Encanto, and Figment just made his debut in EPCOT. Now, Disney is looking to cast several character look-alikes from a popular Pixar movie. On Disney’s auditions website, they just posted several casting calls for Turning Red character look-alikes! Not TOO excited, though, Mei! Some of the characters that they’re looking for include members of the 4*Town boy band, Jin Lee (Meilin’s father), and Meilin’s friends. Turning Red is on Disney+ too! Disney noted that these roles are for “upcoming special events and appearances at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim CA.” 4*Town Forever! Here’s a full list of the characters Disney is casting roles for: Robaire (5’6”-5’9”) is the Leader of 4*Town for a reason. He will eventually have a successful solo career, but until then, he’s content to jam on the tour bus with his four best friends. Tae Young (5’5”-5’7”) is the youngest member of 4*Town and known as the “Cute One.” A lover of animals, Tae Young is dedicated to wildlife rehabilitation and has personally fostered injured doves between tours. Jesse (5’9”-5’11”) is the oldest member of 4*Town. Jesse was in art school studying a degree in ceramics before the band took off. When fame starts getting to his head, throwing clay on his potter’s wheel and spending time with his two kids brings him back down to earth. Jesse is the “Artistic One.” Aaron Z (5’9”-5’11”) is the athlete of 4*Town and the strongest dancer. Aaron Z coordinates a lot of the band’s moves and chills out by shooting hoops. Stoic and a little shy, he’s known as the “Lone Wolf” of the group. Aaron T (5’6”-5’9”) is fast-talking and a natural comedian. “T” is always there to break the tension when life on the road gets tense. He’s a fun-loving prankster who remains happy and laidback, even after facing interviews. Jin Lee (5’7”-5’10”) is the quiet, steady presence in the Lee family. Jin works hard and aspires to a life of simple pleasures. Devoted to family, Jin is a necessary balance to his strong-willed wife Ming and is a doting father to their daughter Meilin. Even though an ancient phenomenon has thrown his family into chaos, Jin remains trusting, supportive and loving. Miriam (5’5”-5’7”) is loyal, easygoing and a total goof who can make her besties laugh when they need it most. Miriam regularly rocks a flannel and she shares her friends’ obsession with the epic boy band 4*Town. Miriam would do anything for the people she cares about, especially when their best friend Meilin transforms into a giant red panda. Priya (5’3”-5’5”) is meticulous yet artsy, passionate yet stoic. She cares deeply for the well-being of her friends. Priya’s effortlessly chill and deadpan sense of humor make her a wildcard. She takes a calm and collected approach to school, friendship and just about anything – except 4*Town. Even Priya can’t contain her love of 4*Town. Abby (4’11”-5’1”) is a stick of dynamite. The opposite of shy, Abby is not afraid to be heard. Fierce and passionate, she’s a tiny ball of energy who never hesitates to stand up and support her friends. Yet this tough cookie can’t help but show her soft side for Red Panda Mei. (All that extreme fluff is just too hard not to hug!) ‘Turning Red’ Dolls Disney’s casting call didn’t include a Meilin look-alike, so maybe she’ll be present in her giant red panda form! It’s not clear yet whether these characters will have meet-and-greets or be part of a parade or special event, so we’ll be watching for more updates from Disney.

There’s just something special about walking down Main Street, U.S.A. with a cup of Starbucks in hand. Starbucks Is it us, or does coffee taste better in front of Cinderella Castle? Whether you’re rope-dropping that seasonal latte or grabbing a mid-day coffee pick-me-up, there’s one thing you have to know about getting your Starbucks in Disney World. If you’ve ever used the Starbucks app, you’ve probably noticed that there’s a fun way to earn rewards while you get your coffee fix. Every time you make a purchase, you can earn Stars that can be redeemed for discounts or free items at select locations. ©Starbucks Unfortunately, the full use of this reward system is typically only available at actual Starbucks storefronts (think stand-alone locations, not those inside of Target, grocery stores, or bookstores.) That means that while you can take full advantage of this perk at Starbucks stores inside Disney Springs, it gets a little complicated when you visit the Starbucks locations inside the parks. But, don’t worry! There is still a way for you to earn Stars when you’re on your Disney trip. Starbucks in Disney Springs First, make sure you have the Starbucks app, and load up a digital gift card. You can do this by purchasing a physical gift card and transferring it into the app, or by sending yourself a digital gift card through the Starbucks website. Keep in mind that Starbucks locations inside the parks don’t sell gift cards, so you’ll have to have them prepared ahead of time. Once you have an account set up, you can start earning rewards! Main Street Bakery The simplest way to use this system is by paying for your Starbucks purchase with a digital gift card in the app, where you will earn 2 Stars for every dollar spent. If you prefer, you can also link a credit or debit card to the app and pay that way. When you use this payment method, you’ll earn 1 Star for every dollar spent. Both methods work in the parks, but you earn double the stars if you use a digital gift card. ©Starbucks Oftentimes, however, Starbucks will run a challenge where you can earn even more Bonus Stars. For example, here the app gives me a way to earn an additional 50 Stars (on top of the base Stars that I earn for every dollar I spend) by making specific purchases within a certain time frame. At a typical Starbucks, you would “Start” a challenge, and every time you made a qualifying purchase, the app would track it and give you credit toward the challenge. ©Starbucks Unfortunately, you won’t get credit for challenges with purchases made in the parks. To illustrate, I started off with 50 Stars in my account when I opted for the “Order any Cold Brew 2 times” challenge. ©Starbucks I then went to Main Street Bakery in Magic Kingdom and ordered a Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, paying with the digital gift card in my app. This totaled to $5.10, so I should get 10 Bonus Stars (2 for every dollar spent), and also get credit in the challenge for buying a Cold Brew. ©Starbucks However, since this was inside of the parks, I didn’t get the full credit. While I now have 60 Bonus Stars (an additional 10 Stars from the $5 spent), the app does not recognize that I purchased a Cold Brew. ©Starbucks Also, if I wanted to redeem these Stars for something, I would not be able to at the Starbucks locations inside of the parks — but I could redeem them at the ones inside of Disney Springs. Starbucks on the West Side of Disney Springs So, if you will be heading to a Starbucks location inside the parks, make sure you have your app prepared to start earning rewards! You can still scan and pay that way and earn rewards inside the parks, you just won’t get credit for challenges. But, if you’re buying a coffee every day, you just might save up enough stars to get something for free on your trip home. How do you like your coffee?

Have you heard about Disney’s new Jungle Cruise-themed lounge? Jungle Cruise The Disney Treasure is one of Disney’s NEW cruise ships, with a maiden voyage scheduled for December 21st, 2024. On board the ship will be several brand-new entertainment and dining options, including a Coco-themed restaurant with characters and a 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea bar. But one of the spots that Disney fans are MOST excited to see is the Jungle Cruise lounge! Now, Disney has announced NEW details about this spot. Planning a Disney Cruise? We’re here to help! From packing tips to insider secrets, we know ALL the secrets to help you have a successful vacation. Now, let’s get into the new details! Disney previously announced that Skipper Society would debut aboard the Disney Treasure as the FIRST Jungle Cruise-themed bar and lounge. This punny lounge will be located just off the grand hall aboard the ship. We already knew that you’ll be able to get drinks and snacks here, which will be served by Cast Members who truly take on the role of Skipper and provide comical entertainment. In the concept art, you can see the low-hanging canvas ceilings, which makes the space feel more intimate. ©Disney Disney just shared more details about the creation of this lounge. They noted that the decor is inspired by the Jungle Cruise attractions at both Disney World and Disneyland. From the Disneyland ride, Imagineers gained inspiration from the “flora and fauna sprouting around Jungle Cruise,” which “gives guests the sense that they are sailing in waterways around the globe.” As a nod to this, the Skipper Society will be full of plants that are the same foliage species as those in Disneyland. Jungle Cruise at Disneyland Imagineers also took inspiration from the green and red architecture of the Jungle Cruise in Magic Kingdom. Those colorful tones will be found throughout the lounge, especially depicted on the walls, which are painted “the exact color” to match the Jungle Cruise attraction marquee in Disney World. Jungle Cruise Disney said you should pay close attention to the travel stickers on the vintage-style luggage behind the bar — the stickers will represent various locations depicted inside the Jungle Cruise attraction, including that 8th wonder of the world, the Backside of Water! ©Disney Another important feature of the lounge is the music. Disney stated that “guests will hear familiar music playing in the venue, including spiels from the Jungle Cruise attractions around the world!” They said, “You’ll hear Skipper voices from across the globe and in various languages such as English, Dutch, French, Cantonese, and more.” ©Disney You know how all the Jungle Cruise boats have names, like Congo Connie? Jungle Cruise Well, Skipper Society is going to have “a jungle boat name of its own,” according to Disney! The lounge’s boat name is “Ems Empress,” named after the Ems River “where the Disney Treasure will make her first voyage to sea.” You’ll be able to spot the “Ems Empress” sign inside the lounge. Skipper Society Wow! We can’t WAIT to check out this new lounge. If you’re a fan of the Jungle Cruise attraction, we have a feeling you might already be wanting to book a cruise aboard the Disney Treasure. If that’s the case, booking opens on September 20th, 2023, and if you’re a member of Disney Cruise Line’s Castaway Club, you’ll be able to book as early as September 12th.

Are you already counting down the days until your next Disney World vacation? Disney World We talk a lot about what to bring to the parks. We have told you about the embarrassing items you might need on your trip. We’ve shared the items you’ll never regret putting in your park bag. Now, we’re begging you to NOT bring these things into Magic Kingdom. Before we dive into what not to bring to Magic Kingdom if you have a trip to the Kingdom planned soon, you’ll want to download our FREE Magic Kingdom Checklist. Just click below and a free downloadable checklist will be sent to you so you won’t miss a thing at the park. Poor Walking Shoes We are passionate about our park shoes, people. We have shared the best shoes to bring to Disney World, and that’s because you walk a lot. It’s honestly an abnormal amount of walking and standing. The last thing you should be bringing into Magic Kingdom is uncomfortable shoes. It’s a lot of walking Don’t be the person who has to hobble around all day because you insisted on wearing those brand-new sandals. Stroller Wagons Did you know there are certain strollers that you cannot bring to Disney World? According to Disney, Strollers that are greater than 31″ (79 cm) in width and 52″ (132 cm) in length are prohibited. Stroller Wagons are also prohibited. Double-check before you leave for vacation that your stroller will be accepted. Stroller parking You don’t want to have to find that out at the gates. Toys That Appear to be Weapons According to Disney’s website, objects or toys that appear to be firearms or weapons are not allowed. This might seem like a no-brainer, but this really comes into play around Halloween. Some kids may have a toy as a part of their costume, but it might not be allowed. So many swords! We recommend leaving that at home so that you don’t have to throw it away or take it all the way back to your car. Costumes Costumes may not be worn in Disney theme parks by Guests ages 14 or older UNLESS it is for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. Masks are not allowed for adults and when worn by younger guests, masks may not cover the entire face. Pooh and Friends in their Halloween costumes Of course, Disneybounding is acceptable as long as it is not a full costume. Selfie Sticks If you still have a selfie stick lying around and you think the perfect time to bust it out is for Disney World, think again. Selfie sticks are prohibited in Disney World. When you go through security, they could be taken. No Selfie Sticks! Make sure to leave yours at home. Instead, ask a PhotoPass Cast Member to snap your photo. Metal Glasses Case This one is to save you some annoyance. Metal glasses cases set off the security metal detector. This can become frustrating when you’re park hopping or are headed to a reservation, then suddenly you’re being stopped so they can search your bag. Security Line at TTC We recommend ordering a fabric or plastic glasses container ahead of time to save you some hassle. Germs We’re kidding — kind of. If you aren’t feeling well, you should probably stay home. There are so many people at Disney World, and it can be easy to pick something up here after touching everything. Disney World Plus, if you are sick, walking around in the heat will not help you feel better. Unrealistic Expectations Finally, you’ll want to leave any unrealistic expectations you have at home. You aren’t going to be able to do EVERYTHING in Magic Kingdom in one day. You probably aren’t going to be able to eat everything in one day, either. There are a lot of variables that play into how your day will go. You can’t control the weather, the wait times, or a ride closing. But you can control your expectations. Going in with a good attitude will help you have a great day. Magic Kingdom For more Disney tips and tricks, be sure you’re following us at DFB.

Sleeping Beauty Whether you want to feel like you’re on an African savanna or in an upscale lodge in the Pacific Northwest, Disney has a hotel for you. But what if you want to feel like royalty? Disney is currently in the process of completely reimagining one of its properties, and soon guests will be able to stay in a 5-star hotel dedicated to its regal stories. The best part? There are exclusive rooms within the hotel with a range of VIP benefits that are fit for a king or queen. The Disneyland Hotel at Disneyland Paris has undergone a multi-year refurbishment where every inch has been transformed with Disney storytelling and luxury in mind. On January 25th, 2024, the hotel will reopen its doors with new rooms and suites, gourmet dining, and more. ©Disney For those looking for the highest level of service and immersion, the Castle Club is described as an exclusive hotel within the hotel with VIP benefits and services.

While the hotel buses, Monorail, boats, and Skyliner are all great ways to get to EPCOT, sometimes the only option for folks is ride share. EPCOT If you’re planning to utilize ride share and visit EPCOT soon, then you’ll want to keep reading! There’s a NEW ride share area at the park entrance, and it might trip you up if you’re not familiar with it. Previously, folks could be dropped off or picked up close to entrance — at the front of the parking lot. Now, the designated area has moved. It’s now located at a freshly-paved area that we thought was going to serve as a tram stop. New ride share area Now, we know that it’s a ride share area! There are 10 different drop off and pick up “slots” that make it easy for drivers to communicate where they are. Different slots to be picked up near It also forms a sort of loop with two different lanes so that drivers aren’t dealing with unnecessary traffic. Rideshare area It’s only about a 4-minute walk from the front park entrance. There’s a special area where pedestrians can safely walk to the front of the park. Walkway to the park Here’s a shot of where it is relative to park entrance! From the Monorail What do you think? Do you think the ride share process is made easier by this addition? We sure do! We’ll continue to keep you updated with more Disney news, so follow along so that you’re always in the loop. Looking for more exciting things at EPCOT? Click here!

The Monorail in Disney World is SO cool. Monorail in EPCOT Even now, it still has the sense of retro-futurism that reminds us of the idea of the future Walt Disney had. It’s almost an attraction in and of itself, but not ALL is perfect about what could be everyone’s favorite mode of transportation in Disney World. So let’s have a chat about what we don’t love about the Monorail. Yes, we said it — the Monorail isn’t perfect. But now, we’re going to tell you why. It can get crowded Have you ever tried to take the Monorail at Magic Kingdom after the fireworks? If you haven’t, you might be surprised when you do and realize that it feels like EVERYONE in the park is trying to take the Monorail at the same time (and it’s almost EXACTLY like that). It gets very crowded in the evenings, particularly when Magic Kingdom closes. The monorail line can get pretty long when Magic Kingdom closes However, on busy park days, the Monorail can also be very crowded in the mornings, too, and you might end up facing long lines at the Ticket and Transportation Center if you’re driving to Magic Kingdom (because you can’t actually park AT Magic Kingdom). So then you’re dealing with more crowds. Be Prepared for these Big Disney World Monorail Surprises You might have to transfer If you’re new to the Monorail, you may think it’s just one line going around the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT area, but that’s not the case. You might have to transfer to another Monorail line, depending on where you’re headed. Monorail to Magic Kingdom The Monorail has two different routes. The first stops at Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Transportation and Ticket Center, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. The second route goes to and from the Ticket and Transportation Center and EPCOT. Monorail at the Contemporary Resort So if you’re traveling from a Monorail hotel, you’ll have to transfer at the Ticket and Transportation Center to get to EPCOT. Should You Take the Monorail to Rope Drop EPCOT? Here’s What We Experienced! You might have to wait on the Monorail In some locations, there’s only one Monorail track for both lines, so if one line is being used, another Monorail can’t use it. That means you might find yourself waiting on the Monorail for a little while as the first Monorail clears that track. If you’re in a hurry (like maybe running late for an advance dining reservation), this could slow you down. Boarding the Monorail at the Ticket and Transportation Center Of course, a way around this is to give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination, just in case there is a delay like this during your Monorail trip. What To Do When the Worst Case Scenario Happens on the Disney World Monorail It doesn’t go everywhere If you haven’t been to Disney World before, you might think the Monorail goes everywhere throughout the resort, but it doesn’t. It actually only covers a small part of the resort. You’ll only find Monorail stations at the Ticket and Transportation Center, the three Monorail hotels, Magic Kingdom, and EPCOT. That’s it. The Monorail More than likely, you’ll need to take other Disney World transportation during your trip, including Disney buses, boats, and the Skyliner. The good news is that you’ll almost always have a way to get to where you’re going in Disney World. 4 Hotel Transportation PROBLEMS You’ll Run Into at Disney World Smells Okay, we’re going to try to put this delicately, but there are some SMELLS on the Monorail, especially when it’s crowded and especially when it’s been a super hot day in Florida. Those Monorail cars are not that big and when people are packed into them like sardines, well…you get the picture (or the odor, we suppose). It can get a little smelly It’s also particularly stinky if someone brings certain foods with them. Imagine a Monorail that smells like fish because someone wanted to snack on their Fish and Chips from EPCOT’s U.K. Pavilion while they go back to their hotel. You get the idea, right? What to Do When the Magic Kingdom Monorail Isn’t Running So although the Monorail is probably the most ICONIC mode of Disney World transportation, it isn’t always the BEST. However, we still recommend hopping on the Monorail if you get a chance because it is a VERY Disney experience. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news!

Staying at a Disney hotel can be just as fun as going to the parks. Disneyland Paris Disney properties are full of theming and perks that make the experience, and soon a fully reimagined Disney hotel will be opening its doors again. The five-star Disneyland Hotel at Disneyland Paris has been closed for refurbishment for a few years, but the transformation is almost complete. On January 25th, 2024, Disneyland Hotel at Disneyland Paris will reopen! The entire hotel has been completely reimagined, with luxury rooms, gourmet dining, and more — all inspired by Disney’s “royal stories.” ©Disney With references to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Sword in the Stone, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Princess and the Frog, Tangled, Frozen, Moana, and Raya and the Last Dragon, details from Disney storytelling can be seen throughout the decor. The grand lobby, which was inspired by European castles, features a Bohemian crystal chandelier that represents the park’s iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle. ©Disney Guests can choose from Superior, Deluxe, and Castle Club rooms or Signature Suites, which all have unique design elements inspired by those royal stories. ©Disney The most immersive rooms, however, are the Princely and Royal Suites, which are directly inspired by classics such as Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Beauty and the Beast, and Frozen. In these suites, you’ll find details like Aurora’s color-changing dress and Queen Elsa’s Ice Castle. ©Disney Even the hotels restaurants, bars, and lounges got a royal makeover. At Royal Banquet, you can dine among “a gallery of paintings featuring Disney Animation’s royal families,” such as King Triton and his seven daughters from The Little Mermaid and Kronk from The Emperor’s New Groove. The dishes are inspired by the homes of Disney Princesses, like a Spicy Cajun Shrimp dish inspired by Tiana. Here, you can also meet Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and their friends in regal attire exclusive to the hotel. ©Disney La Table de Lumière, which is inspired by the Hall 0f Mirrors at Versailles, pays tribute to the Beauty and the Beast ballroom. At this French, fine dining table service location, you can dine on local, gourmet eats such as “roses from Provins and sea treasures like lobster, monkfish, and sole fished off the coast of France.” There is even a cake inspired by Belle’s rose. Here, you’ll be able to dine with “Royal Disney Couples including Belle and her Prince, Aurora and Philip, Tiana and Naveen, or Jasmine and Aladdin in all-new, exclusive regalia.” ©Disney At Fleur de Lys Bar, guests can take in a view of the hotel’s Fantasia Gardens while they sip on flower-themed signature cocktails and a selection of quality wines. Here, you’ll also be able to take part in an afternoon tea or a Champagne experience. Disneyland Hotel Spa by Clarins and Health Club provides both classic and signature treatments, and the “Crystal Pool invites guests of all ages for a leisurely dip beneath the spectacular glass and metal roof that was inspired by the Laeken Royal Greenhouses in Brussels.” ©Disney At the Royal Kids Club, which is designed as a royal library, kids can take part in “interactive and augmented reality experiences,” stepping into their favorite stories. ©Disney Kids — and adults (!!) — can get a royal makeover with a variety of packages at the Royal Collection Boutique, with a professional portrait session add-on available as well. ©Disney This newly reimagined hotel reopens soon!

The DFB team is made up of a LOT of Disney World experts (and even some former Disney Cast Members!), so it’s safe to say we know a lot about how Disney World operates. Ever wonder why Disney makes some of those seemingly random decisions? (Like, what were they thinking when they started putting spikes in the World Showcase lagoon?!) Well, there’s probably an answer to your question. Cinderella Castle Ever wonder why Disney brings out seemingly RANDOM characters in EPCOT? We love Captain Hook and Smee as much as the next person, but they don’t quite seem to fit the whole “World Showcase” vibe, do they? Well, there’s a reason those characters are in EPCOT, so let’s talk about it! We see it all. the. time. A surprising number of Disney guests probably don’t recognize a good portion of the characters in Disney World. In fact, poor Pluto has been called everything from “Goofy” to “Scooby Doo” (yes, really.). Hey, unless you’ve seen a Disney movie in the past few years, it’s not easy to keep track of all those characters! Sorry, Pluto! Speaking of the characters, you may encounter what’s called a “Character Palooza” in EPCOT or Disney’s Hollywood Studios (or a Disney hotel, if you’re lucky!). These Character Palooza events happen at random and normally don’t last long, so it’s all about being at the right place at the right time. In EPCOT, Character Palooza normally happens over by the gate at the American Adventure pavilion. You may see a variety of Disney characters — sometimes as many as eight all at once! Hey, Mr. Smee! So, why does Disney bring these obscure characters to EPCOT every once in a while? Well, ever noticed that every Disney character has a Cast Member wearing a blue polo standing nearby? Those Cast Members are Character Attendants, and before they “graduate” to working one-on-one with the Disney characters, they need a little training. Ever wonder who this guy is? Character Paloozas are a place for Character Attendants to put their training to the test in a smaller-scale environment. Since these random pop-up events are not advertised, they normally don’t attract large crowds. Yep, we met Wendell at EPCOT, NOT Magic Kingdom! Plus, by using less recognizable characters, it’s a little easier to handle the crowds that stop by for a photo. Imagine if they brought out a popular character like Figment — that would be like throwing those poor newbie Character Attendants right into the deep end of the pool without a flotation device. It would be CHAOS! You never know who you might meet! If you’re not a Disney expert, you might not recognize some of these “rare” characters, but there’s a reason they still visit the parks every once in a while! A Character Palooza event in action! Oh, and if you happen to find a Character Palooza event happening during your visit, make sure to show those Cast Members some extra kindness. They’re learning! (And trust us, it’s not an easy job!) In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more. 18 Disney World Secrets Even Locals Don’t Know Planning a Trip to Disney World?
