A BIG addition is coming to Disneyland Park! Disneyland We’ve been watching the construction of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure for months now, and after the opening of the same ride in Magic Kingdom, we’re even more eager to check out the Disneyland version. It’s opening soon, and now we’ve got a FIRST LOOK inside the ride! Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disneyland is set to open on November 15th, 2024. The ride features a storyline set after the finale of The Princess and the Frog, with Tiana, Naveen, and Louis planning a massive bayou celebration. As part of a media event, we got to set foot on the ride a little bit early. Let’s go to the bayou! However, there’s one big problem — the party needs musicians! Tiana and Louis head into the bayou to search for some talented critters to play at the party and find some surprises along the way. The ride features several songs from the film, as well as an all-new tune in the finale. Tiana animatronic We’ve already gotten the chance to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure several times in Disney World, but now we’re eager to check out the Disneyland version. Starting with the queue, you enter the attraction area and you’re immediately greeted by the office and kitchen area of Tiana’s Foods. Where the magic happens There are plenty of hidden details throughout the queue, including photos of Tiana and her family. Photo wall We even spotted the recipe for the gumbo that Tiana’s dad makes. She framed it along with his signature gumbo spoon — how sweet! A recipe Before you get to the loading area, you’ll spot a small screen that shows the safety video. Let’s ride! Safety presentation Once you board the log, you’re off on a bayou adventure! Here, the ride was very similar to the Magic Kingdom version, except it seems to have a little less “dead space” throughout. Up the hill You first take a lap outside of the mountain and ride through the garden area. Such a pretty view! We could see the Sailing Ship Columbia from up here! Then, it’s time to head down into the bayou and search for some critters. There are several animatronics of Tiana and Louis throughout. Hey Louis! We spotted some musical critters — let’s take them to the party! Critters Of course, one of the most stunning scenes is the room with all the fireflies. Ray’s whole family showed up to party with us. Fireflies After that, it was time to dig a little deeper with Mama Odie. Who’s ready for the big drop?! Gotta dig a little deeper! We took a short lap around the base of the mountain and then headed to Tiana and Naveen’s party. It’s a Mardi Gras celebration! Heading to the party Here we spotted Lottie and Eudora in their finest party clothes… Amazing animatronics …as well as Tiana, Naveen, and Louis. This scene features a brand-new song, written for the ride! The whole gang is here! And that’s a wrap on our visit to the bayou! Stay tuned to DFB for more updates about this new attraction.

You said you were looking for a bite at a place that was out of this world, right? Sci-Fi Dine-In Theatre Restaurant The Sci-Fi Dine-In Theatre Restaurant in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is a one-of-a-kind eatery that transports you to a retro drive-in movie experience, complete with classic sci-fi films, B-movie trailers, and seating in car-shaped booths, and right now, we’re taking you with us to check out some NEW eats! Atmosphere The atmosphere at Sci-Fi Dine-In is 100% its main attraction. As soon as you enter, you’re greeted by a hostess who leads you into a “drive-in” under the stars. The tables are arranged in rows of classic ‘50s-style convertibles, all facing a massive screen. Sci-Fi Dine-In Theatre Restaurant Each car has its own row of seats, so you’re lined up like you’re at an actual drive-in, which gives it a fun and intimate vibe. You can almost forget you’re indoors! Sci-Fi Dine-In Theatre Restaurant The restaurant is dimly lit to create a nighttime drive-in feel. While the dining setup can be a bit quirky, you can’t deny that the immersive theme is charming, unique, and perfect for anyone looking to be transported to another time. Menu When it comes to the menu, you’ll find that it features your typical all-American cuisine. Think things like burgers, sandwiches, wings, salads, and a handful of appetizers. ©Disney Now, don’t sleep on those drink and dessert options too. Okay, moving on to the main reason you’re here — the food and drinks. Eats We were on a mission to try two NEW items: the Beamed-Up Burger and the Prime Rib Sandwich. Let’s start with the Beamed-Up Burger which is a double-patty smash burger featuring American cheese, shredded lettuce, jalapeño-bourbon-bacon jam, and house-made burger sauce on a brioche bun for $23. Beamed-Up Burger If you’re a burger lover, this one doesn’t disappoint. The double smash patties are flavorful and juicy, and the quality of the beef is surprisingly good for theme park fare. The brioche bun holds up well without overpowering the ingredients, giving each bite a great balance of flavor. Beamed-Up Burger But the real standout here is the jalapeño-bourbon-bacon jam. It’s smoky, spicy, and just sweet enough to make this burger feel more unique. Bits of crispy bacon in the jam add texture, and the spice is mild but satisfying. As for the toppings, the shredded lettuce adds a crisp freshness that you might not expect but definitely appreciate. Beamed-Up Burger Is it worth $23? Well, in the world of Disney prices, it’s on par with what you’d expect, and at least you’re getting a high-quality burger in a memorable setting. This might be one of the better burger options in the park if you’re willing to splurge. Next up, let’s talk about the Prime Rib Sandwich, which was a bit more of a mixed experience. It features shaved prime rib, provolone cheese, house-made giardiniera (a pickled veggie mix), arugula, and a side of au jus on a toasted hoagie roll for $24. Prime Rib Sandwich It certainly looks impressive, with a good amount of beef and fresh arugula peeking out from the toasted bread. But when it comes to flavor, here’s where it falls a bit short of expectations. The prime rib, unfortunately, was on the colder side and lacked that melt-in-your-mouth quality you’d hope for. There’s a cafeteria-like blandness to the beef, which is surprising for a “prime rib” item. Prime Rib Sandwich On the positive side, the provolone adds a delicious creaminess, and the au jus is flavorful, with a savory depth. The pickled veggies add a pop of flavor that elevates each bite. But overall, the sandwich felt like it needed something more. Would we get it again? Probably not, but it’s still a good option for anyone who isn’t in the mood for a burger. So, what’s our verdict on the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theatre Restaurant?! Overall All in all, the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theatre Restaurant is a destination that’s worth visiting for the experience, even if it’s just once. It may not be the best place for those seeking culinary highs, but the fun factor and atmosphere make up for the price of entry. Full Spread If you’re planning a visit, we’d recommend sticking with the burger or other classic options to avoid any disappointments. Otherwise, just buckle up, sit back, and let the Sci-Fi Dine-In transport you to a world of retro-futuristic fun! Nosh or Not Make a stop at the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theatre Restaurant if… You’re looking for a spot that’s got a completely unique vibe. You want a solid burger option that’s a bit elevated from a standard theme park cheeseburger. You’re looking for a one-of-a-kind, retro, immersive dining experience. Consider going elsewhere if… You’re looking for a less expensive option. You want to choose from a large menu of truly standout eats. You’re looking for the most comfortable seating arrangements.

Christmas has started at Disney World and we are here for it! Christmas is here! We love seeing all of the Christmas decor in the parks. From the classic wreaths on Main Street USA to the floating ornaments in Echo Lake at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, it just gives us all the vibes. We’ve been on the hunt for our own Christmas decor to add to our home and we recently tried the cutest night light that is sure to spread some holiday cheer. DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. Santa Night Light Isn’t he adorable? We brought the Santa night light with us to Disney to test it out. First, can we just appreciate how adorable Santa is? We wanted to share what we liked about the light. It’s not too big, it’s got a soft plastic body to it (the bottom is a harder plastic) but if you’ve got a little one that really likes it and wants to snuggle with it to sleep it’s not a harsh light. It is rechargeable. But we also wanted to share what we would change able it. It’s rechargable which is a blessing and a curse. You don’t have to buy batteries for it, but remembering to charge it intermittently will be the trick. We can see where if you forgot to recharge it from the night before you could have a disappointed kid at bedtime when the light isn’t charged. Here’s how bright it can be We love how the light is dimmable. The above show’s how bright Santa can get. Lower setting We also like the lower setting for little ones to actually sleep with. The light can last up to 6-8 hours and has a 30-minute timer feature that you can use to help kids fall asleep. It is a nice decoration to bring with you on trips that’s small enough to fit into your suitcase, and for home, it would be adorable in your kids’ room. For the price, we think it is so cute. It’s a fun festive light for regular home decor or for your kiddos who might have forgotten to leave those cookies and glass of milk out for Santa and need to sneak down to the kitchen in the middle of the night.

Disneyland is BUSY right now — a lot of stuff is going on in the parks and at Downtown Disney. Disneyland Downtown Disney is getting LOADS of new restaurants plus a newly revamped sweets shop (YES!!!). California Adventure is getting a new Avatar-themed land and a new Coco ride. Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is getting ready to open SOON in Disneyland. Haunted Mansion is getting a new queue and dedicated gift shop. Well, we just got our first look at the new gift shop because the construction walls are DOWN. As we mentioned, Haunted Mansion (which is currently running as Haunted Mansion Holiday) is getting a new queue and gift shop. Because of all the construction around the ride, it’s currently only running with a virtual queue. However, many of the construction walls around the gift shop came down today, so we’ve got a first look at it! It looks like an old carriage house, which perfectly fits in with the New Orleans aesthetic you’ll find at Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion in New Orleans Square. The shop is said to be owned by Madame Leota, of course. New gift shop! Most interesting may be the enigmatic sign above the doors. What does it mean? Is this some kind of way that Madame Leota will commune with spirits while we’re innocently shopping inside? Mysterious sign There’s also some new concept art of the gift shop and the updates to the ride on one of the remaining construction walls. Concept art Then there’s the note from Madame Leota, who promises to return soon with haunting treasures and wonders galore with her official seal. We can’t wait! We guess this will be a lot like Memento Mori in Disney World, with a lot of Haunted Mansion theming and fun details inside. Note from Madame Leota We can’t wait until the shop’s doors open and we can check it out. We’ll let you know when that happens and take you along with us for the ride (no Doom Buggy required).

It’s no secret that the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is one of Disney World’s biggest events of the year. Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin With dozens of food booths serving cuisine from around the globe, this festival is MASSIVE and draws in countless visitors each year. But did you know that there’s a SECOND Food & Wine event in Disney World? And you don’t even need a park ticket to attend! It’s almost time for the annual Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic — it takes place November 15th and 16th, 2024. Each year, this event highlights the best of the best when it comes to culinary offerings at the Swan, Dolphin, and Swan Reserve hotels with a mini food festival. The 2023 event’s booths To participate in the Food & Wine Classic, you’ll need to purchase tickets ahead of time. You can go either Friday or Saturday night for $195 per person, or you can get a 2-night pass for $330 per person. That may seem pricey, but here’s the kicker — unlike the festivals at EPCOT, your food and beverages are INCLUDED with your ticket! Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic Yep, for this event, you’ll just need to buy your tickets and then you can show up to the Food & Wine Classic and enjoy unlimited food and beverages from the various booths. All along the Causeway, there will be tents set up with eats inspired by the Swan and Dolphin restaurants, as well as various types of cuisine. We got to sample a few of the eats ahead of time at a media event, and we were eating GOOD. Rosa Mexicana food booth There are quite literally dozens of dishes to try, all served in small plate portions so you can taste as many things as possible. In addition to the eats and drinks, the Food & Wine Classic offers entertainment throughout the night in the form of various bands and artists. The pamphlet from 2023 This event is one of our favorites because of its laid-back nature, delicious eats, and general atmosphere. It’s a great option for a date night or an evening out with your friends, and it doesn’t require nearly as much work as walking all the way around EPCOT’s World Showcase. Plus, the idea of paying a flat rate and then eating to your heart’s content is appealing to many people.

Disneyland is gearing up to go down the bayou with Tiana and all her friends! Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is set to officially open in Bayou Country on November 15th. In order to ride this new attraction, just like Disney World, you will need to obtain a Virtual Queue or purchase a Lightning Lane Multi Pass. The good news is you will have three attempts to join the Virtual Queue at 7 AM, 12 PM, and now at 4 PM. Along with the new attraction, Bayou Country has two new gift shops, and one of them opened today! Ray’s Berets, which has replaced The Briar Patch and has already opened! Starting on November 21st, you will be able to find select Tiana merchandise there. For the time being, there is just general Disneyland merchandise in this shop. The second shop, Louis’s Critter Club, took over part of Pooh Corner. Don’t worry, though; you can still find Disney treats and Winnie the Pooh merchandise on the Pooh Corner side of the store. Louis’ Crtitter Club If you did not know, Louis is the trumpet-playing alligator from The Princess and the Frog , and he now has his own “critter club” where friends of the bayou can hang out and hear live music. This gift shop will be a go-to spot for all your Tiana’s Bayou Adventure apparel and other merchandise. We got to take a first look at Louis’ Critter Club, which opened TODAY, November 13th! Let’s take a look inside! Louis’ Critter Club The lighting of the store makes it feel like we are in the bayou! Louis Cuddleez There is no shortage of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure merchandise! It is all in the details! We want to go to the Lily Pad Lounge, grab a drink, and watch the show on the stage behind the register! A Closer look at the Lily Pad Lounge We love the stage behind the register, along with everyone’s dressing rooms! The Register A closer look at the stage behind the register. Behind the register There are so many details in this new shop! Louis’ Critter Club There is a nod to some of the band members, who you can hear playing when the attraction opens on November 15th. The Band As we mentioned, this store took over the second half of Pooh Corner, so you will see the transition when you enter the second room. Welcome to Louis’ Critter Club! Outside of the Critter Club are posters for some of the acts that are performed in the club as well as at the attraction! Posters outside These posters are so fun that they make us wish Louis’ Critter Club was actually a lounge and not a gift shop. More posters We are so excited for the transformation of Bayou Country to be complete when Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opens later this week! For now, you can check out both Ray’s Berets and Louis’ Critter Club and grab a bite to eat at the newly re-imagined Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree!

Well, a lot is happening in Magic Kingdom right now. Magic Kingdom Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opened earlier this year, but Big Thunder Mountain Railroad will be closed in 2025 for almost an entire year for a refurbishment. We’re already starting to see some construction happening around that ride. On top of that, a new Cars expansion is coming to Frontierland, which will permanently close Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island. Also, an entire new Villains land is set for the park at some point. Now, MORE change is on the way. A classic Disney World attraction will be closing soon for refurbishment. If you’ll be visiting Magic Kingdom soon, we’ve got a closure in Adventureland to warn you about: Swiss Family Treehouse is not showing any hours for November 18th on the Disney World website. This generally means that an attraction will be closed on that date and beyond. ©Disney The good news is that this closure is a relatively short one — the attraction is showing hours again on December 20th. So it looks like it will only be closed for a little over a month. Swiss Family Treehouse The Swiss Family Treehouse is a walkthrough attraction that takes inspiration from the 1960 Disney movie, Swiss Family Robinson. It originally debuted in Disneyland in 1962, but was an opening day attraction in Adventureland in Disney World in 1971. If you haven’t had a chance to experience it yet (trust us, KIDS love this one), you’ll want to add it to your must-do Disney World list. Reach the summit of the 6-story-high treehouse, and you’ll be rewarded with spectacular views of Adventureland and the rest of Magic Kingdom.

Instead of the “open seating” policy that the company has used for decades, Southwest will be turning to the same type of assigned seating process that the rest of the industry has used for years. The decision has led to a split reaction from longtime flyers. ©Southwest Southwest Airlines is offering massive deals as part of their Holiday Travel Sale, but you’ll need to act fast as the discounts are only available through November 14th.

Happy National Bread Pudding Day! Bread pudding combines my two favorite courses – bread and dessert. Since I love anything with coconut, the Coconut-Pineapple Bread Pudding from Sebastian’s Bistro at Walt Disney World Resort is the perfect way to celebrate National Bread Pudding Day! Our talented culinary team at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort was kind enough to share two variations of their popular Coconut-Pineapple Bread Pudding – the traditional recipe and a delicious plant-based version. After testing both recipes, I couldn’t choose a favorite – so today we’re sharing both recipes. Both bread pudding recipes are served with vanilla ice cream and a homemade caramel sauce for the perfect balance of salty and sweet! Remember to mix up the bread pudding early so the bread has enough time to soak up all the delicious custard. All this talk of bread pudding is making me hungry. Let’s get to the recipes! Coconut-Pineapple Bread Pudding Recipe Sebastian’s Bistro Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort Serves 12 Pineapple Topping Ingredients 1/2 cup apricot jelly 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained 1 cup shredded coconut Caramel Sauce Ingredients 2 tablespoons light corn syrup 1 cup sugar 2/3 cup heavy cream 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 cup unsalted butter 3/4 teaspoon coarse salt Coconut-Pineapple Bread Pudding Ingredients 2 1/2 cups heavy cream 7 eggs 2 1/2 cups whole milk 1 tablespoon vanilla paste 1 tablespoon coconut extract 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 (1 pound) loaf challah, cut into 1-inch cubes 1 (1 pound) loaf sourdough, cut into 1-inch cubes 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained 1 cup shredded coconut Pineapple Topping Toppings Vanilla ice cream Pineapple Topping Instructions Whisk apricot jelly, crushed pineapple, and shredded coconut in a medium bowl until combined.

Stir until sugar is melted before adding each additional 1/4 cup. Cook sugar stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, until amber in color. Slowly add cream and vanilla, stirring to combine. Cook, stirring constantly, until caramel reaches 225°F. Pour into medium bowl. Cut butter into cubes and whisk into caramel until combined. Refrigerate up to 2 days. Warm before serving.

There are quite a few hidden secrets in Disney World. Spaceship Earth From tunnels underneath Cinderella Castle to shortcuts around the resorts, we’ve uncovered quite a few fun details in Disney World over the years. But one of the best hidden secrets is tucked away in EPCOT! Did you know that there’s an abandoned ride in EPCOT? Back when the park was first constructed, the goal was to build not only Biergarten but a ride in the Germany Pavilion castle as well! Germany Pavilion The attraction was supposed to be a Rhine River Cruise, with a trip down the Rhine, the Tauber, the Ruhr, and the Isar. Along the way, you would learn about German history and culture, and the ride would even highlight today’s technology in the country. It was a similar concept to Maelstrom that was built in the Norway Pavilion. Germany Pavilion Along the Rhine River Cruise, riders would have been treated to sights like Black Forest, Oktoberfest, Heidelberg, Cologne Cathedral, and the industrial Ruhr Valley. Sadly, the attraction never came to be due to budget cuts when EPCOT was built. However, part of the attraction’s structure was indeed constructed in the back of the pavilion. Sommerfest To this day, you can walk into the back of Germany and knock on the wall next to Biergarten — you’ll be able to hear that it’s hollow! When the ride got canceled, they simply covered it up with a wall and some lovely artwork. But it stands as a homage to the ride that never was. Currently, the space where the ride was supposed to go is used for storage and rehearsal area. And now, if we want to celebrate German culture, we have to plan a visit to Biergarten instead! This could have been a ride! Sadly, the Germany Pavilion still doesn’t have its own ride, but we can still hope for the future. In the meantime, we’ll drown our sorrows in caramel corn and stroll through the shops! Click Here to See 50 Amazing Things You Never Knew Were in EPCOT!

Happy merry holly jolly seasons greetings here! Animal Kingdom Christmas tree Yes friends, it’s THAT time of year, according to Olaf! We’ve been running all around Disney World (but not literally running because that’s against the rules) to check out all the holiday celebrations taking place this year. We’ve already been to two holiday parties and eaten dozens of snacks, but now it’s time for one of the most important Christmas traditions…meeting Santa Claus! This year, you can meet Santa Claus in a variety of spots around Disney World, including all four parks and Disney Springs (if he can travel the whole world in one night, we shouldn’t be surprised that he can pop around Disney World just as fast!). And if you’re hoping to see him in Animal Kingdom this year, you should know that he’s in a NEW location. Santa’s new setup For the past few years, we’ve been able to see Santa Claus on a flotilla, riding along the Discovery River. But this year, he has a traditional meet and greet on the front porch of Restaurantosaurus. The meet and greet area. The meet and greet area is decked out in dino-inspired Christmas decor, and people who love the decorating style of Chester & Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures gift shop will be absolutely delighted with the kitschy and chaotic vibe. THIS is “maximalist” Christmas, right here. It’s cheesy in the best way Santa himself sits on a bench, and you can pop a squat down right next to him to say what you want for Christmas, then snap a photo. Of course, he’s as friendly and holly jolly as ever. Make sure to stop and say hi! If you want to stop by and see Santa, you should probably check his showtimes in the My Disney Experience app. If you search “Greet Santa Claus near Restaurantosaurus” a list of available times will pop up for that particular day. He’ll be in the park every day from now until December 24th — he’s got a job to do that evening, after all.

Okay, so there is a LOT of new stuff coming to Disney World, and we’re honestly having a time keeping up with EVERYTHING. Island Tower construction We’re getting a new expansion and land in Magic Kingdom. We’re getting a new land and a new show in Hollywood Studios. We’re getting a new land in Animal Kingdom. EPCOT is getting an updated ride. IT IS SO MUCH. However, something else that’s new that’s coming SOON is the Polynesian Village Resort’s new Disney Vacation Club (DVC) tower, Island Tower. Island Tower will feature a new restaurant, Wailulu Bar & Grill, and now we’ve got another look inside that dining spot. Wailulu Bar & Grill will open on December 17th, 2024 with Island Tower. This casual pool bar and grill will feature an all-day menu for lunch and dinner, as well as coffee and pastries for breakfast.
