Know what the best part of fall is? The fact that you can celebrate one holiday — HALLOWEEN — for approximately three full months. At least in Disney World, anyway. Over in Magic Kingdom, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is already in full swing! Happy Halloween! Plus, we get to enjoy alllll the festive Halloween decorations and special merchandise in the parks and resorts. But wanna know what’s even better? All the spooky Halloween treats that are available in Disney World! There are a TON of spooky snacks available this year, and of course, we couldn’t wait to try a few! Come with us to Disney Springs to try some NEW treats at Swirls on the Water. Swirls on the Water has THREE new desserts this fall! The new Halloween-themed menu items are available from September 1st through October 31st, so you have plenty of time this fall season to indulge in some festive treats. Swirls on the Water Let’s start with the new Haunted Mansion Cone. It’s a pistachio and purple cheesecake soft-serve swirled in a black vanilla cone with a Hitchhiking Ghosts chocolate medallion. You can try it for $6.49. First, take a look at it — this is a treat you’ll want to get just for your Instagram photos. Haunted Mansion Cone Okay, so our reporter isn’t a big fan of pistachios, but we still thought that the flavors in this cone were well-balanced. Granted, you definitely get that pistachio flavor, but it doesn’t overpower the other flavors in the cone. The sprinkles add a nice crunch (who doesn’t love sprinkles?). It’s definitely a looker! We also decided to check out the new DOLE Whip Sampler, consisting of 1.) DOLE Whip and vanilla soft-serve with pineapple wedge, 2.) pumpkin and salted caramel soft-serve with caramel sauce and caramel crisp pearls, and 3.) pistachio soft-serve and purple cheesecake soft-serve with roasted salted pistachios. Whew! There’s a lot going on there. It’s available for $7.49. Dole Whip Sampler So first, the DOLE Whip with vanilla soft-serve and pineapple wedge is a nice break from the other two flavors. It’s just a standard Dole Whip, but the other two treats are SO sweet that the tartness of this is a nice way to break up that. Classic Dole Whip FTW Our absolute FAVORITE, though, was #2 — the pumpkin and salted caramel soft-serve. Y’all, this is what fall tastes like. The salted caramel also adds a nice flavor to the pumpkin and you get some crunch from the pearls for texture. Our FAVORITE Now, the pistachio soft-serve and purple cheesecake soft-serve with roasted salted pistachios is almost identical to the Haunted Mansion Cone flavors, so we pretty much felt the same way about this one as we did the cone. It’s the same as in the Haunted Mansion Cone Of course, we couldn’t forget the new Apple Cider Slush with Pumpkin Soft Serve! For $5.99, you can try an apple cider and pumpkin soft-serve slush served with an apple slice. This is a non-alcoholic drink, BUT you can also get the alcoholic version available with Fireball Cinnamon Whisky. Pumpkin AND apple together at last This was another treat that made us think of cool autumn days. The pumpkin soft serve reminded us a LOT of the pumpkin ice cream from Trader Joe’s. It’s not like a pumpkin spice flavor, but more like a true creamy subtle pumpkin flavor. Adding the sweet apple cider is a GREAT way to combine two of fall’s best treats into one. This one was another win! We do have a word of warning about ALL these treats: they melt fast. So you’ll have to keep plenty of napkins on hand and eat them quickly! We’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more. See ALL the new fall treats coming to Disney World! IT'S SPOOK-TACULAR!

The wait is over! Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana The new Moana-inspired attraction in EPCOT — Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana — is set to open in the fall of 2023. We’ve been not-so-patiently waiting for it to arrive, but today — we were lucky enough to attend a Cast Member preview! We had a ton of fun walking through this exploration trail and playing with the living water — you can read all about our experience here. But, there was one thing that didn’t quite go according to plan. Throughout this walking path, visitors will see signage at the start of each section, with educational information about the water cycle. The sections — Rain, Stream, Wetland, Spring, Land, Lake, River, Ocean, and Sky — each have a component that teaches you something while also allowing you to interact with the water in a unique way. The Water Cycle For example, in Rain, guests can touch “strings” of water that play musical notes as they pass their hands through. Unfortunately, while we were there, one of the sections wasn’t functioning. The Spring section of the attraction was temporarily closed, so we didn’t get to see details of how that particular water feature worked. Spring Now, this was a Cast Member preview, so they are working out the kinks. Things should run more smoothly by the time the attraction opens in the Fall. However, it’s a good idea to be prepared for this to happen occasionally. Just like how rides have temporary malfunctions every so often throughout the parks, these water features could see similar closures. Temporarily closed The good news is, even without this one water feature, we were still blown away with everything that we did get to experience. The attraction was beautiful and had a wonderful old-EPCOT, educational feel. Pretty! We’ll be back once this attraction opens so stay tuned to DFB for more!

Quick! Name your favorite Disney princess. Did you say Princess Belle? Or maybe your #1 pick is Ariel. Maybe you’re old-school and like Snow White best. No matter which Disney princess you like best, we can tell a lot about a person based on their favorite Disney characters. (For example, if you love Olaf, Genie, or Flynn Rider, you have excellent taste.) Belle in France Now listen, we may not have an official degree in personality assessments, but we know a thing or two about Disney fans (trust us — we have a LOT of experience), so come with us to find out what your favorite Disney princess says about YOU. Of course, we HAVE to start with Snow White. If Snow White is your favorite princess, you probably like spending quality time with others. Whether you’re planning a vacation with all your favorite people, hosting a party (with some of the BEST food!), or making time for movie night, you value time spent with friends and family. There’s no princess more sweet and compassionate than Snow White, and like her, you are warm, kind, and friendly! Snow White Speaking of Snow White, you can rep your favorite princess with our very own Show White-inspired wine glass shirt from the DFB Store! ©DFB If Cinderella is your favorite princess, you’re a hopeless romantic. How can you watch the famous Cinderella dress transformation scene and NOT get a little emotional? You appreciate kindness and courage — even when things get hard. Cinderella is one of Disney’s most iconic princesses for a reason; she’s the embodiment of a true princess. Cinderella If Princess Tiana is your favorite princess, you like a character with a little grit. Princess Tiana taught little ones to work hard to make their dreams come true, and that message of perseverance and independence stuck with you ever since the first time you saw the Princess and the Frog movie. (Oh, and you probably love southern cooking, too) Princess Tiana Looking for a new shirt inspired by your favorite princess? Check out our new DFB Princess and the Frog tee! ©DFB Speaking of princesses with a little spunk, if Princess Jasmine is your favorite princess, you are always down for an adventure with your friends. You know how to find good friends and have some of the BEST friendships. Jasmine Good news, Jasmine fans! We’ve got a NEW Jasmine-inspired t-shirt just for you! ©DFB OK, technically, Anna is a queen, but we’ll count her on the list since she used to be a princess. If Anna is your favorite, you would buy an Ordinary Barbie if such a thing existed. You don’t care about elegance or refinement — you’re more interested in having a good time with those you love. Anna On the other hand, if Elsa is your #1 pick, you know what it feels like to protect the ones you love. Whether it’s a close friend or your family (for some, these are one and the same), you’ll do anything for those closest to you. You admire Elsa’s strength and independence, and you probably see a little of her in yourself. Elsa If Rapunzel is your favorite princess, you can see past what’s on the outside. You’re really good at reading people, and you are willing to give people a chance, or even sometimes, a second chance. You’re secretly a really deep, sensitive person, but only those closest to you may know the real you. Rapunzel Need a new tank? This Rapunzel tank might be the perfect addition to your wardrobe! Grab this DFB-exclusive design! And for those of you who can’t pick just ONE Disney princess, we have a shirt featuring FOUR classic Disney characters! Princess Wine graphic tees available now!

Although we still don’t have an official opening date for Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana in EPCOT, we got to attend a Cast Member preview of the attraction today! Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana So here’s the thing — the attraction is GORGEOUS and definitely has that whole EPCOT fun, yet educational, vibe. But there was one thing about the attraction that surprised us the most — its bathroom. Yep, we’re going to have to add a NEW bathroom to the list of best bathrooms in Disney World because this one is UH-Mazing. So you’ll find the bathroom in Journey of Water about halfway through the attraction, just before you reach Te-Fiti. Bathroom sign You’ll see a sign for the bathroom, and when you walk down that path you’re going to be very unimpressed with the outside of these bathrooms. BUT JUST WAIT. When you open that simple door, you will be transported into a room that feels worthy of a seafarer like Moana. Pictures don’t really do those gorgeous, blue, ocean-like tiles on the walls any justice. We feel like we’re in the ocean. It’s just a single stall with a toilet and urinal, but it fits into the area with its chill water-like vibe. It just goes to show how Disney Imagineers consider ALL the details for everything. We love this bathroom Okay, Moana, we SEE YOU and your beautiful bathroom! Dare we say that this bathroom could contend with the Tangled bathrooms in Magic Kingdom? Probably not since the Moana bathroom is literally just the one room and Tangled has a lot more decor and theming inside, but we’re still very impressed. Tangled bathrooms So when you get a chance to check out Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana, be sure to take time to appreciate even the smallest details, including the bathrooms. We’ll be showing you a FULL walkthrough of the attraction soon, so be sure to stay tuned to DFB for more. Entering When are you headed to Disney World next?

A new restaurant announcement at Disney World is like Christmas for us here at Disney Food Blog! Magic Kingdom And just like kids who sneak around in the weeks before Christmas, trying to discover where their mom and dad hid the presents, we cannot wait for the big day to know what the new restaurant will be like! We scour the internet for clues about the new restaurant’s atmostphere, potential menu items, and prices. When it was announced that celebrity chef Maneet Chauhan would be opening a restaurant at Disney Springs, it touched off our newest investigation, and luckily we didn’t have to go far! Chauhan’s restaurant in Nashville, TN — Chauhan Ale and Masala House — is considered one of the city’s best, so I traveled there recently to check it out! In July, we found out that Maneet Chauhan and her business partner and husband Vivek Deora would be opening EET by Maneet Chauhan! The restaurant will serve the couples’ “famed Indian cuisine,” according to Disney’s announcement. We don’t have an opening date yet, but Disney says the restaurant will open “later this year.” ©Disney via Instagram Chauhan is a James Beard-award winning chef and Food Network Star — you may have seen her as a judge on the competition cooking show Chopped, or competing herself in the Food Network Tournament of Champions, which she won in 2021. ©Janet Rhodes, 2012, Television Food Network, G.P. (via Food Network) I even got to see her Tournament of Champions championship belt on display in her Nashville restaurant! Maneet Chauhan’s Food Network Tournament of Champions belt is on display at Chauhan Ale and Masala House. Let’s check out more of the Nashville restaurant! Chauhan Ale & Masala House is located in a former brick garage building, close to the city’s famed Broadway entertainment district. Chauhan Ale and Masala House in Nashville This is a popular restaurant, and reservations are recommended. I made a reservation about 2 weeks in advance and had no trouble getting the time I wanted. Chauhan Ale and Masala House in Nashville Inside, the space is long and narrow, and tables are laid out in two corridors. A series of projectors play Bollywood movies on the brick wall at the back of the dining space. Inside Chauhan Ale and Masala House in Nashville The decor is eclectic and colorful, with a mix of patterns and prints. Colorful curtain and garlands separate dining areas. The atmosphere at Chauhan Ale and Masala House I arrived a bit early and received a warm greeting. I was told I would receive a text when my table was available, and it was ready right on time. The table was set simply with a cloth napkin, small plate and flatware. Place setting at Chauhan Ale and Masala House The menu includes an extensive appetizer selection, breads, the restaurant’s “design your own dish” entree selections, sides, and the resturant’s Tournament of Champions Thali — a “large plate” meal that includes a tandoor roasted ribeye, saag mac and cheese, the vegetable of the day, daal (lentil stew), and garlic achaar (a pickled condiment). Chauhan Ale and Masala House Menu The back side of the menu includes specialty cocktails, mocktails, draft and bottled beers, and wines. Chauhan Ale and Masala House Cocktail Menu This restaurant opened in 2014, and in looking at older information about it, the menu used to include some Indian/Southern Food fusion items like burgers, but the current menu — with the exception of some appetizers and cocktails — seems to be centered more on traditional Indian cuisine. Cocktails I opted to start the evening with an Ol’ Chauhan — the restaurant’s version of an Old Fashioned. The $16 drink was made with rye whiskey (an interesting choice over bourbon in the south), amaro, vanilla, and orange bitters. It was garnished with an orange peel and served over a large ice cube. Ol’ Chauhan cocktail I really enjoyed this drink. Some old fashioneds can be cloyingly sweet, especially with a syrupy cherry garnish, but this one was well balanced, with an herbal quality from the amaro. Vanilla was a prominent aroma and flavor here — an unusual note for an old fashioned — a variety I appreciated. If you like whiskey cocktails, I think you will love this one! Appetizers It was SO hard to choose an appetizer from the extensive menu here! Nashville’s influence is most evident on the appetizer section of the menu, and I was tempted by the Nashville Hot Cauliflower with chow chow, ghost pepper aioli, and raita ranch, the Cremini Mushroom Toast with tandoori roasted cremini mushrooms, garlic whipped paneer, and masala sourdough, and the Desi Walking Taco with kurkure, vindaloo pork keema, queso fresco, kachumber, and tamarind chutney. Ultimately, I opted for the Tandoori Chicken Poutine for $18, because … POUTINE, amirite?! Tandoori Chicken Poutine at Chauhan Ale and Masala House This poutine is masala-spiced french fries topped with tandoori chicken, makhani sauce (the same sauce you would expect on butter chicken), and cheese curds. It is broiled and served in a cast iron skillet on a wood coaster. This is most definitely fork food. The chicken was chopped small, making it much easier to eat with the fries, the sauce was ample, and well, just look at the perfect broil on that cheese. Sexxxxyyy cheese pull The fries here stayed impossibly crispy under the heavy load of toppings — I don’t know what kind of sorcery was involved in that, but I’m 100% in favor. You know how when you order a stacked appetizer — like a poutine, nachos, or loaded fries — the toppings don’t last to the bottom of the dish and you end up with plain fries or chips? That’s not an issue with this dish — at all. You will have plenty of toppings in every bite. If you are not a fan of spicy food, do not be concerned about this dish — it is mild and would be enjoyed by just about everyone. The acid in the tomato-based sauce is well balanced by the richness of the cream and cheese, and the variety of textures here — crispy fries, tender chicken, buttery sauce, rubbery cheese — all combine for a great bite. This is rich, infinitely splittable, or could be a meal all in itself. I had to make myself stop eating this because there was more food on the way! My only appetizer regret is that I didn’t bring a crowd with me so that I could have sampled all the things. Entrees As I mentioned above, with the exception of the Tournament of Champions Thali, the entree section of the menu is a “design your own dish” affair. You choose your protein and sauce, and your entree is served with rice. Proteins include: Braised Pork Shank Tamarind Lamb Chops Steak Kabab Braised Chicken Fresh Fish of the Day Ginger Garlic Shrimp Chicken Kababs Paneer Cheese Local Farm Vegetables On the night I visited, there was a second paneer cheese choice — paneer napoleon. It was paneer cheese layered with chutney and mushrooms. My server compared it to a lasagna. The proteins range in price from $19-$42. Sauce choices include Tikka Masala (tomato cream sauce), Saag (fresh green creamed spinach sauce), Moilee (plant-based coconut milk curry), Korma (saffron cashew sauce), Bhunna (plant-based tomato-onion curry), or Vindaloo (spicy tomato sauce). Chicken Tikka Masala at Chauhan Ale and Masala House I ordered the Braised Chicken ($25) with Tikka Masala Sauce ($2) because it is a popular entree that many people enjoy. But I’ll be honest, I was again wishing I had brought a crowd with me so that we could all have ordered something different and shared. My server said the chicken tikka masala and lamb korma were the most popular entrees here. I was brought a large plate before my entree was served to me in metal bowls with spoons to serve myself — one with my protein and sauce, and a second with my rice. The set-up here makes it super easy to share several different entrees at the table. The Chicken Tikka Masala was high quality — with tender, meaty braised chicken and a silky, creamy, richly flavored sauce. The portion here was HUGE and would be easily split among two people. I wound up with plenty to take home for a meal the next day. Even if you are not familiar with Indian cuisine, this dish is a “safe” one to order — there is no heat in the sauce, and the flavors are warm and comforting. Bread What would a meal be without bread service? Trust me — you will want some bread to soak up the sauce with your meal. Choices here include roti (grilled flatbread), papadum (Indian crackers), chili cheese kulcha (a stuffed roll), and naan. At my server’s recommendation, I opted for the garlic parmesan naan ($6). I did take note of another interesting choice — the Short Rib French Onion Naan ($12), which was described to me as a “naan quesadilla” stuffed with beef short rib, with an au jus-style dipping sauce. This sounded DELICIOUS to me, but I only have one stomach, and knew I had already ordered way too much food! Garlic Parmesan Naan This was a huge piece of Naan, cut into fourths, and could have easily been shared with the table. It was perfectly cooked — soft but not doughy, brushed with butter, and topped with a salty, sharp parmesan and garlic topping, served in a metal bowl. It was delicious eaten out of hand, and perfect for soaking up the tikka masala on my plate. Unless you do not like garlic or parmesan, you will enjoy this bread choice. Sides Oh yeah, there are SIDES. Now, do you NEED a side to get full at Chauhan Ale and Masala House? Um, the answer to that question is a decisive no. But did I try a side because, well, the sides sounded delicious? Yes. Yes, I did. The sides included Brussel Sprouts or Spicy Quinoa, but being the well-established cheese lovers we are here at the Disney Food Blog, I ordered the Saag Mac and Cheese for $12. Saag Mac and Cheese at Chauhan Ale and Masala House And, well, sorry not sorry. This side is spinach pasta with a creamy chili-spiced cheddar cheese sauce with fenugreek, topped with bread crumbs for that slight bit of crunch. Now, this dish threw me a bit — the slight sweetness of the fenugreek felt unusual in a mac and cheese. After a second and third bite, though, I decided it was a flavor that balanced the sharpness of the cheese and contributed to the dish — it was just unexpected at first taste. If you’re not familiar with fenugreek, the flavor is often compared to maple syrup. My only complaint with this dish is that the texture felt a bit off — the pasta was soft and lacked the chew I prefer, though I can’t tell whether it was the texture of the particular spinach pasta used in the dish, or whether the pasta was overcooked. That said, if you like trying unusual mac and cheese dishes — give this one a try. Desserts Choices here included a Mango Icebox Cake, a Layered Chocolate Cake with garam masala spiced ganache, and a Gulab Jaman Cheese Cake. I opted for the cheese cake for $12. Gulab Juman Cheese Cake at Chauhan Ale and Masala House What are Gulab Jamun, you ask? They are balls of fried, sweet dough — a donut hole, if you will. This dessert was a New York-style cheese cake with gulab jamun inside, served with a blackberry coulis and a gulab jamun on the side. I am a cheese cake lover, and this one did not disappoint. It was a solid, classic New York cheesecake, and the gulab jamun inside was a playful addition that added an injection of soft texture to the firm dessert, as well as pops of sweetness. The blackberry coulis was good, and while I generally think a fruity sauce elevates a cheese cake, this one had so much going on with the fried dough inside that the flavor of the coulis was lost and probably not needed. I loved having the single gulab jamun on the side of the plate, too, to be able to taste it without the cheesecake. This dessert was an unusual combo, and I appreciated the variety. It’s definitely something I would recommend! Overall I understand why Chauhan Ale & Masala House is such a popular fixture in Nashville’s restaurant scene. The atmosphere is eclectic and fun, the food is flavorful, rich and comforting, and the restaurant is a good spot for a large group or a more intimate, small table for 2. Service here was excellent throughout my meal. I was dining alone, and every staff member who stopped at my table was warm and willing to make conversation. But I believe that this restaurant is best for large parties because of the sharable nature of the appetizers and entrees here. You’re going to want to try it all, and the only way to do that is to bring friends! Gulab Jamun Cheesecake at Chauhan Ale and Masala House If this restaurant provides clues to what we’ll experience when EET by Maneet Chauhan comes to Disney Springs, we are in for a treat. Indian cuisine will be a new addition to the Disney dining scene, and a menu suited to large groups is a great fit for Disney travelers. And a note for gluten-free and plant-based eaters, the menu here is clearly marked with gluten free and vegan dishes! Nosh or Not Visit Chauhan Ale and Masala House in Nashville, and try the new EET by Maneet Chauhan in Disney Springs when it opens if: You’re looking for a spot with sharable dishes to feed a crowd. You love Indian cuisine. You’re looking for warm, comfort food with big flavors. You have plant-based or gluten-free eaters in your party.

Disney World is changing all the time — just take a walk around the parks and you’ll see that pretty clearly. ©D23 But that means there are a lot of exciting changes on the horizon, and we’re hoping to hear a lot of updates at “Disney’s Biggest Fan Event of the year“. Destination D23 will take place in Walt Disney World at Disney’s Contemporary Resort from September 8th to 10th, and we’re expecting some big news — but there’s one announcement we’re really hoping Disney makes. Disney’s ultimate fan event is coming up soon, and we’ve been speculating about what sort of announcements and news we might hear! At the D23 Expo, we learned about attraction opening timelines, new meet and greets, movie news, and more, so we can only hope this year’s event is just as exciting. But, there’s one announcement we’re crossing our fingers Disney makes — and that’s the end of park hopping restrictions. Welcome to Disney World! In case it’s been a while for you, Disney introduced the Park Pass Reservation System in Disney World and Disneyland in response to the global pandemic and the need to control overall park capacity. Park hopping wasn’t brought back right away, and when it eventually did come back, Disney put a staunch rule in place. After COVID-19 restrictions began lifting, many fans thought that park passes and park hopping rules would go away, but that wasn’t quite the case. EPCOT Park hopping in Disney World isn’t as easy as it used to be — in the before times, you could park hop at any point during the day no matter want (as long as you had the proper ticket to do so). Want to have breakfast in Magic Kingdom and then immediately go to EPCOT? No problem. But after the closures, Disney introduced a time restriction that meant guests couldn’t hop to their second park until 2PM or later. Tower of Terror Things have gotten a bit better in Disneyland. When park hopping first returned, folks had to wait until 1PM to switch to another park, but Disney updated that time to be a bit earlier and it’s now 11AM. Pixar Pier at California Adventure We know that park pass reservations will be going away for select Disney World guests in 2024, and we’ve seen updates made to park passes for Annual Passholders too. However, Disney executives have mentioned not wanting the system to go away entirely as it’s a way for them to track guests and manage the overall capacity in the parks on any given day. As far as park hopping goes, though, Disney hasn’t really mentioned anything about getting rid of the time constraints. It’s certainly a big complaint among fans though, who miss the old days of being able to hop from one park to another willy-nilly. Whether or not we actually hear something at Destination D23 remains to be seen — but we’ll be looking out for updates. Disneyland We can’t wait to see what sort of news and announcements Disney makes at Destination D23, and we’ll be there for it all.

Lean in close — we’re about to let you in on a HUGE secret about the Orlando International Airport! There’s a LOT to Do You might already be planning a visit to this airport as your way to get to/from your home and Walt Disney World, but there’s a lot to do in the airport aside from stressfully walking to/from your gate and running to the restroom before your flight takes off. There are some seriously incredible restaurants here (including ones run by folks at or coming to Disney Springs!), theme park stores you won’t want to miss, and more. There’s just one problem — a bunch of that is PAST security. And you can’t get through security and into the rest of the airport without a booked flight and boarding pass right? WRONG! Introducing the “Experience MCO Visitor Pass Program!” This new program officially kicks off today — September 1st — and it’s about to let you break ALLLLLLLLL the rules (okay, some of the rules) when it comes to going past the security checkpoint at the Orlando Airport! We were actually able to get a sneak peek at this experience, and we’re sharing ALL of our thoughts with you. How It Works First, let’s go over how this program works. Essentially, with Experience MCO, you’ll get to apply for a visitor pass through the website. You’ll put some basic information — when you want to visit, what terminal you want to visit (Terminal C is the only one available right now), your full legal name (as it appears on your TSA-approved photo ID), and other information. Then TSA will review your information. If you’re approved, you’ll be able to go into Terminal C and PAST security WITHOUT a booked flight or boarding pass. You’ll be sent a digital visitor pass via email which will be what you’ll use for entry. Digital Pass DO NOT print this out. Printed passes will not be accepted. You’ll need to use a digital version to get past the Terminal C TSA screening checkpoint. On your approved date and at your approved arrival time, you’ll visit Terminal C and go to the TSA security checkpoint. Then, you’ll be screened like any other passenger. Be sure to bring a TSA-approved photo ID. You will need to enter the general screening line. Entry is allowed between 10AM and 4PM. You will be required to leave Terminal C by 8PM. Security All screening requirements and regulations will be the same as regular passengers (that includes liquid requirements, etc.). And you’ll only be allowed one personal item (like a purse or backpack). Keep in mind that the visitor pass is only valid during the approved day and time and only at the approved terminal. In our experience, going through security was just the same as going through it for a regular flight. You do have the option to add the visitor pass to your Apple Wallet, so that is a nice feature. Orlando International Airport Terminal C When we visited, there was no line to go through security, but you should be prepared to wait if you’ll be visiting on a busier day or at a busier time. We were provided with a 1-hour arrival window, which we expect will be the same for most other guests. But once you’re past security, it’s time to HAVE FUN. What Is There To Do? You might be wondering, “Why should I go to the airport when I don’t have a flight? What is there to do?” Well, visiting airports without a flight booked is actually a trend called “terminal tourism.” According to Bloomberg, airports are adopting programs to allow people past the security points so they can hang out. For some, the safety of an airport, coupled with the amount of things to do inside and the draw of seeing airplanes taking off could be the recipe for a unique date night, experience with the grandkids, or little escape. Inside Terminal C So what did we do during our visitor pass day at Terminal C in the Orlando Airport? Well…a LOT! Restaurants Let’s start with a tour of some of the restaurants you can check out here. Barnie’s Coffee and Tea Co. is actually just before security, so you technically don’t need a visitor pass to experience this — but it’s well worth a stop! Barnie’s Inside, you’ll find a variety of coffee options available (we had to grab one — of course!). Get yourself a Santa’s White Christmas cold brew — you can thank us later! Barnie’s You can also get some packaged coffee… Coffee …mugs… Mug …and even Wondermade Marshmallows (which you can also find at Disney Springs!). Marshmallows Looking for more of a meal? There are tons of options! One of those is Wine Bar George (yes, as in a restaurant created by the same folks behind the oh-so-amazing Wine Bar George in Disney Springs). Wine Bar George It is in the middle of a walkway so it’s not quite as elaborate as some of the other spots — just keep that in mind. Note that this restaurant (along with some of the other ones we’ll discuss below) is licensed and not necessarily operated by the same exact company as the one in Disney Springs. But you’ll still find unique eats and drinks to try. What Will You Try? In Terminal C, you’ll also find Sunshine Diner from Chef Art Smith (the same chef behind Homecomin‘ in Disney Springs). Sunshine Diner There are some grab-and-go options here… Sunshine Diner …and an option to get some more sit-down eats in a diner environment. Sunshine Diner Another spot you might want to check out is Summer House Santa Monica, which is from the same folks behind Summer House on the Lake — a new restaurant opening in Disney Springs in 2023. Summer House In some ways, this can serve as a good preview of what could be coming once Summer House on the Lake opens in Disney Springs. Summer House The menu here features salads, sandwiches, starters, burgers, pizza, and more. Summer House Plus, there are wines and beers to choose from… Menu …and a breakfast menu if you time your visit right! Menu This spot was especially cool. It had a full dining room and bar upstairs and felt the most like a spot we would want to just sit and hang out in. Summer House Looking for more eats? Stop by Olde Hearth Bread Company — it’s a local bakery, which was licensed and brought to Terminal C by MCA. Olde Hearth The menu includes soups, salads, wraps… Menu …breakfast options (served all day!), fresh baked goods, coffees… Menu …and more. More Order a sandwich here, and it’ll be made on bread baked in the original bakery in Orlando — unique! What Bread Would You Pick? Other dining options include Desano Pizzeria… More FOOD! …and greenbeat. Greenbeat At greenbeat, you can make a custom bowl with all kinds of toppings… Greenbeat …or opt for some pre-set selections. Greenbeat We grabbed a salad from here and it was alright, though we would have preferred something a little more fun and glamorous. Our reporter eats a plant-based diet, though, so the options felt much more restrictive. Overall, the roasted portobello and Brussels sprouts add-ons were the best part of the dish, we just wish there was a warm option (instead of a cold salad) that they could be a part of. Salad Another spot you can stop by is Auntie Anne’s Pretzels — a solid choice for some snacks! Auntie Anne’s But wait…there’s MORE! Experiences and Stores While eating at one of these spots in the airport might be fun enough, there are other things to check out too! If you want to do some shopping, check out the Universal Orlando Resort Store. Universal Store Snap a fun photo… Fun! …and pick from the MANY wands available to fulfill your wizard dreams. What Wand Will You Get? Plus, be sure to look up at the second floor where you’ll find a truly impressive effect. Dragon There’s a screen here with a dragon that blows “fire” every few minutes and it is AMAZING. WOW! This is a must-visit for Harry Potter fans! Check It Out! Disney fans can stop by the Disney World store for a taste of the magic. Store Inside, you’ll find a model castle… Castle …and some chandeliers on top that look like fireworks. They even form a hidden Mickey! Cute! While it might not necessarily be a must-do for park fans, it is a great spot to pick up some Disney merchandise and stroll around. Grab Some Merch Another thing you’ll want to take some time to see is The Moment Vault. This is meant to capture your attention with unique displays. WOW It’s a series of “digital interactive multimedia experiences” presented in 15k imagery, meant to make YOU feel like you’re really in the middle of it all. This is basically to the level of being an attraction in its own right. It uses technology to capture your movements and allow you to impact the movement of the display (and even puts you INTO it sometimes!). How Cool Is That? It includes immersive sound and is unlike anything we’ve really seen at an airport before. Take Some Time Our advice? Take some time to really stand and enjoy this! It’s Really Unique And that’s just a peek at some of the fun things you can do in Terminal C if you come and visit with a Visitor Pass (or if you’ll be in the airport as you go to your next flight). Would you apply for a visitor pass to spend the day at the airport without a ticket? Tell us in the comments! And stay tuned for all the latest news.

Limited Edition cookies But of course, we can’t forget about Stuart’s cookie. Stuart has brought us an Orange Pecan Chocolate Chip cookie.

Did you know that a Disney World hotel is closing permanently this month? Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser Disney World has all kinds of hotels on property, ranging from the value All-Star Resorts to the incredibly luxurious Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. But there’s one hotel that’s been open for less than two years — and it’s going to be permanently closing its doors in just a couple of weeks. The Star Wars: Galactic Starcrusier hotel opened in March 2022. This hotel is really more of an immersive experience, which lasts two days and two nights. While you’re there, you can take part in the Star Wars-themed story by interacting with characters, joining in on activities like droid racing and lightsaber training, and dining in the Crown of Corellia dining room. Star Wars Hotel Atrium The Starcruiser is sort of like a cruise, as the food and activities are included in the cost of your stay. There’s also an outing to Batuu (Disney’s Hollywood Studios) on one of the days. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Disney announced in May 2023 that, after just over a year of being in operation, the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser will be permanently closing. The final “voyage” is September 28th through the 30th. Starcruiser cabin So what went wrong with this experience? The biggest issue was the cost. This hotel is NOT cheap — prices are more comparable to a cruise vacation than a hotel room, with stays costing in the thousands. Many people just couldn’t justify the cost, and we saw lots of availability at the hotel even just a few months after it opened, which indicates that demand was slowing down. Dining on the Galactic Starcruiser Disney still has to run the entire production even if a “voyage” isn’t sold out, so if they’re not selling enough rooms to justify the cost of running the Starcruiser, it quickly becomes a problem. Characters on the Starcruiser While we’re sad to see the Galactic Starcruiser go, we’re not totally surprised that it wasn’t sustainable. While the final reservations did sell out, the price was just too high for many people. Disney hasn’t announced yet what will happen to the building once the Starcruiser closes. Lightsaber battle So if you’ve got a reservation for the last few voyages, be sure to take it all in.

From time to time, we get a little FOMO when we learn about all the cool new stuff coming to the international Disney parks and resorts. For example, over in Hong Kong Disneyland, there’s a whole NEW World of Frozen land coming soon! Plus, there are some incredible developments happening at Tokyo Disneyland that have us ready to book a whole trip to Tokyo. ©Disney Parks Well, this time, we’re daydreaming about the new expansion happening at Shanghai Disney. Let’s take a look! Shanghai Disney Resort just announced a NEW hotel expansion! According to a press release from Shanghai Disney, construction on Shanghai Disney Resort’s third Disney-themed hotel has started. ©Shanghai Disneyland Resort This expansion is set to bring a NEW deluxe hotel to the area, complete with 400 rooms. Currently, there are two other resorts on property — Shanghai Disneyland Hotel and the Toy Story Hotel. ©Shanghai Disney Resort According to Disney, “The new hotel will immerse guests in spaces and activities which showcase Disney characters and stories, introduce new dining, shopping, and entertainment experiences, and provide more options for guests planning multi-day visits to the resort.” ©Shanghai Disney Resort Disney revealed that the theme is influenced by “Art Nouveau architecture and design – and infused with Disney storytelling and whimsy.” The hotel is set to pay homage to “Shanghai’s unique early 20th-century architectural legacy, while staying true to Shanghai Disney Resort’s overall planning principle of being ‘authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese.'” ©Shanghai Disney Resort The hotel is located on the shores of Wishing Star Lake and will offer special experiences, including both indoor and outdoor recreational amenities and more.

EVERYBODY STAY CALM! This is NOT a drill! Mint Julep Bar!! One of our favorite snack spots in Disneyland — the Mint Julep Bar — has been closed for a while as Disney renovates French Market Restaurant to become Tiana’s Palace. We got a sneak peek at the new Tiana’s Palace Restaurant recently, but it’s not expected to officially open until September 7th. We thought that would be when Mint Julep Bar also reopens, but now it looks like our beloved snack spot has opened EARLY! We noticed today that the Mint Julep Bar was showing opening hours once again, from 8AM to 11PM. Mobile Order was also available on the app! We placed a Mobile Order just to be sure this wasn’t a glitch, but sure enough, it went through! ©Disney According to the menu on the app, the prices for our beloved Mickey beignets have NOT increased. The offerings also have not changed. You can get a 3-pack of Mickey beignets for $5.49 or a 6-pack of Mickey beignets for $8.99. ©Disney We hurried over to get our beignets! Mint Julep Bar Unfortunately, you can’t really see inside Tiana’s Palace yet — there are construction walls blocking that area. Construction walls But the pathway over to the Mobile Order window was open, so we’re just happy we could get our beignets! Menu Reunited, and it feels so good!! Mickey Beignet According to Disneyland’s website, the Mint Julep Bar is going to be open daily from 8AM to 11PM. ©Disney You can head in now to get those amazing beignets! Love those beignets Don’t forget that you’ll be able to get beignets inside Tiana’s Palace Restaurant too, but they won’t be Mickey-shaped. However, the ones there are modeled after a lemon icebox pie, with a tart filling and lemon glaze, so it’s a bit of a trade-off! Beignet at Tiana’s Palace We’ll be watching for more updates from Disney, so stay tuned to DFB for all the latest news.

So we know you all probably subscribe to Disney+, but do you also subscribe to Hulu? ©Hulu You might not think of Hulu as being the place to watch a show about classic fairy tales, but if you love Disney princesses and Disney movies, you may need to subscribe ASAP. That’s because one of Disney’s most underrated shows will be arriving on the streaming platform soon! That show is Once Upon A Time, which originally aired on the Disney-owned network ABC. The series follows Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison), who learns that she’s the daughter of Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin). However, Snow, along with MANY other famous fairy tale characters, are trapped in the town of Storybrooke, their memories erased by a curse put on them by the Evil Queen (fabulously portrayed by Lana Parilla). ©ABC That’s right. You’ve got princesses, pirates, villains, curses, and a whole lot more. The series aired for a total of seven seasons and expanded the stories of some of the most iconic characters from fairy tales and Disney movies, including characters from Beauty and the Beast, Merida, Cruella deVil, Anna and Elsa, and even Captain Hook (but this dashing version of Hook is unlike any you’ve seen before). Oh, did we mention there’s even a musical episode? According to Entertainment Weekly, You’ll be able to watch all seven seasons — that’s 155 episodes — on Hulu as of Friday, September 1st. If you’ve already seen the season, now might be the PERFECT time for a re-watch (we know we’ll be there). ©ABC Don’t have Hulu? Well, if you have Disney+, you can bundle the two streaming services together with ads for just $9.99/month. A Duo Bundle version without ads will be available soon for $19.99/month.

Disney Popcorn Buckets are a WHOLE thing — we would know because we have our fair share of them. We love seeing all the different popcorn buckets Disney comes out with We’ve seen some REALLY cool ones, too. Yes, that includes the Figment Popcorn Bucket that everyone lost their minds over. And that EPCOT Food and Wine Festival Popcorn Bucket that looked like a picnic basket. Then there was the Cinderella Carriage Popcorn Bucket that was released for Disney’s 100th Anniversary. Here’s the thing. Many of the popcorn buckets are very cool, but they’re not very functional — that won’t stop us from buying them, though! So let’s take a look at popcorn buckets that were kinda’ useless, but we still HAD to have them anyway. We know our fellow popcorn bucket fans understand! Mr. Toad Popcorn Bucket Okay, first, we didn’t care if the Mr. Toad Popcorn Bucket we saw last year was useful or not because it was MR. TOAD. Considering that Disney World no longer has a Mr. Toad attraction (at least Disneyland still does), we’re going to scoop up anything Mr. Toad-related. Mr. Toad Popcorn Bucket Still, this is more home decor than an actual popcorn bucket. The popcorn goes into the truck of Mr. Toad’s vehicle, and it’s just not a great vessel for holding popcorn. Popcorn inside! Again, though, we don’t care — this popcorn bucket was EVERYTHING when it was released. We know we’re not alone in thinking this because when this popcorn bucket came out, the lines were HUGE. See More Photos of the Mr. Toad Popcorn Bucket The Nightmare Before Christmas Mayor’s Car Popcorn Bucket When Disney announced ON THE DAY of the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween party that there would be an exclusive Nightmare Before Christmas Car Popcorn Bucket, we rearranged our plans for the evening just to get our hands on it. Who cares if it isn’t actually super practical? Not actually a popcorn bucket, but WE STILL BOUGHT IT Yep, that’s right, the popcorn bucket just has a spot on top that holds a small box or bag of popcorn. So it’s not really a popcorn bucket at all (more of a bucket for your other popcorn bucket), but hey, that’s just semantics. See More Photos of the Mayor’s Car Popcorn Bucket Mickey Train Popcorn Bucket Let’s head on over to the West Coast, where we found the Mickey Train Popcorn Bucket, which was designed the same way as the Nightmare Before Christmas One. It’s NOT a popcorn bucket, but a popcorn box holder, but again, we won’t argue with Disney on this one. Still, we can’t use either of these for popcorn at home, but we didn’t buy them for that anyway. Mickey Train Why? Because this was one of the coolest popcorn buckets we’d seen in a while. It’s probably one of the most DISNEY popcorn buckets ever, too, because it showcases Walt’s love for trains. See More Photos of the Mickey Train Popcorn Bucket Zero Popcorn Bucket At least the Zero Light-Up Popcorn Bucket has a small compartment for popcorn, but it’s still not very useful if you’re just wanting something to hold your popcorn in at home while you’re watching your favorite movie on Disney+. Who cares, though, when it looks like this? Zero Popcorn Bucket And, as we said, it even lights up, so this is more a fun Halloween/Christmas decoration than a popcorn bucket. See More Photos of the Zero Popcorn Bucket Pumbaa Popcorn Bucket The Pumbaa Popcorn Bucket was a MUST-BUY when it first came out. Just LOOK AT HIM. The Simba popcorn bucket has been around Disney’s Animal Kingdom FOREVER, so Pumbaa was a breath of fresh air (unless you stand downwind of him…or at least that’s what Timon says). Pumbaa Popcorn Bucket Well, Pumbaa has a little problem. Our reporter mentioned that his legs kept falling off! Reportedly, folks were accidentally dropping him and his little legs were flying everywhere. Poor Pumbaa! Still, he’s sitting on our mantle and we have no regrets. Hakuna Matata! See More Photos of the Pumbaa Popcorn Bucket Millennium Falcon Popcorn Bucket The Millennium Falcon is cool. The Millennium Falcon Popcorn Bucket is cool. It’s also kinda’ flat in shape, which means it looks like there isn’t even a place ON IT to put the popcorn. But, hey, was it meant to do that anyway? Millennium Falcon Popcorn Bucket Anyway, you CAN put popcorn in it, but it’s awkward. Part of the top pops open like a little door and you can put a TEENY bit of popcorn inside it, but really, would anyone do that? We’ll just hang on to the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy that says it’s a popcorn bucket when it isn’t. See More Photos of the Millennium Falcon Popcorn Bucket Seriously, though, does anyone grab one of these popcorn buckets, take it home, and actually use it for popcorn? It’s a collectible, and that’s something Disney knows very well, which means Disney is going to keep on making them, practical or not. And here’s the thing — we’ll probably keep on buying them.
