Bright Suns! Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Food at Disney Parks is always changing. On the one hand, this is great as it leads to a diverse and ever-evolving selection of options across the company’s resorts. Unfortunately, it can also mean that a favorite treat can disappear, sometimes forever. Recently though, one of our favorite treats RETURNED to Disneyland. Back when Galaxy’s Edge first opened at Disneyland in 2019, we sampled — and loved — the Chocolate Popcorn with Crait Red Salt from Kat Saka’s Kettle. At the time, we gushed “We are here for the idea of chocolate-flavored popcorn! I mean, it’s a little-known secret that chocolate can pair well with salt, and we found the flavor balance in this popcorn to be spot-on. It was almost like biting into salty Cocoa Puffs, in the best way possible. Some pieces were coated with Red Salt, of course, mined from the planet Crait.” Form a Galaxy far, far away… At some point though, the chocolate popcorn disappeared from Kat Saka Kettle. The flavor was still available from time to time at another kiosk in the land, but it was absent from the Kat Saka’s menu… UNTIL NOW. We’re happy to report that the Chocolate Popcorn with Crait Red Salt is BACK at Kat Saka’s Kettle, and we sampled some firsthand recently at Disneyland. It was just as good as we remembered! Delicious You can grab some now for $7.29. The chocolate flavor is way more subtle than our reporter who grabbed it this time was expecting, but it’s a really good amount as it only enhances the sweetness with a soft chocolate tone and never overpowers the snack. It’s a fun snack and one you won’t find anywhere else at Disneyland! Yum One of our favorite Galaxy’s Edge treats, Chocolate Popcorn with Crait Red Salt has returned to Kat Saka’s Kettle.

Yes, we’re eating our way around Disney World…again. And with today’s adventure came an unexpected change of “course”! The food spread of doom While poking around at the latest menu updates around Disney World’s restaurants, we stumbled across an interesting find that not only piqued our interest but set off our sense of adventure at the same time! Hang on to your hats because we’re taking a trip to Jock Lindsey’s Hanger Bar to try out their new eats. Jock Lindsey’s Hanger Bar is a lounge style restaurant tucked away into the corner of the Landing at Disney Springs. This seems fitting because if you’re scratching your head and asking “Who’s Jock?” well, he’s the trusty pilot and good friend of someone you may be more familiar with, Indiana Jones. Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar While it’s anything but sleepy, this spot has made quite the name for itself thanks to its appropriately punny named drinks and tapas-style light bites. They’ve recently made a few changes to their menu offerings here, so we knew what we had to do! Atmosphere At face value, Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar might just look like a cool airplane hanger style bar and lounge, but it’s so much more to that when you dive into the restaurant’s backstory! For those who aren’t as well versed about Jock Lindsey and his travels (read that as trials and tribulations) alongside Indiana Jones, allow us to fill in a few gaps for you. You see, Jock found this waterfront hangout while searching for the Fountain of Youth with Dr. Jones himself! Welcome! Additionally, if you know anything about Indiana Jones you’re probably familiar with how much he hates snakes, so it may seem like an odd pairing of the two when you realize that Jock’s pet is actually a snake named Reggie — more on that later! The outside looks like the beginnings of what you might expect to see out of a rounded metal airplane hanger that admittedly, probably has gotten a bit rusty with age! Just look for the sign You can already spot some fun details like an airplane propeller… Airplane propeller …and a few dirty glass panels where you would expect to see a plane housed. Front entrance As you step inside, you’ll be treated to uniquely themed decor that tells tales of the travels that Jock and Indiana Jones have blazed together! Hung pictures There’s a large bar with seating to the right-hand side… Bar …while over toward the middle and the left you’ll have seating options between small tables and chairs… Tables and chairs …a few booths (appropriately made of out old airplane materials)… Booth seating …and a couple of hightop tables, if you prefer! In the back right-hand corner is an old Dive Bell, and it’s one of the most sought-after spots in this joint. At busier times you’ll wait to be seated and texted when your table is ready, but since we were coming in so early, we had the chance to choose where we wanted to be seated and that was where we bee-lined for! Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar When you’re visiting, spend some time looking around, you might just spot a few notable artifacts from the films! Look all around you Seriously this place is so dense with details you could spend hours pouring over all of the decor, spotting even the tiniest references, and reading through the artwork and framed notes. Menu Alright, we’re getting on a tangent here, but it’s time to focus! We’re here to eat and check out the new bites in this place. Several new appetizers had just hit this restaurant’s menu but the front side outlines their signature libations… Drinks! …while the back is where you can find their light bites, draft beers, hard ciders, and wines. Eats! And of course, you can always ask your server about recommendations based on your preferences if you’re unsure of what to order. It’s like being able to fly a plane blindfolded! Drinks We opted to try out the Shorty’s Singapore Sling for starters! It’s made of Plymouth Gin, Heering Cherry Liqueur, Bénédictine, Cointreau, fresh lime juice, pineapple juice, and grenadine for $16. Shorty’s Singapore Sling This drink was bubbly, and you could definitely tell the grenadine was there! You’re immediately hit with the cherry flavor. You’ll get the hints of the lime and pineapple juice to follow but that cherry liqueur is the commanding presence in this drink. If you’re not a fan of stronger drinks, this one might not be the best for you because we thought it tasted like a liquified version of a cough drop with a little fizz. Eats We hope you packed your appetite because we’re really gonna need your help getting through everything we ordered for this meal! We ended up ordering the Snakebite Bao Buns, Air Tours Bacon and Waffles, Mine Car Meatballs, and the Shrimp Fried Rice Bites…whew that was a huge undertaking! Our whole order The Mine Car Meatballs were the first to arrive! This dish is made of pork and beef meatballs, sweet-and-sour BBQ, and chimichurri on potato hay and will cost you $13. You can also substitute the pork and beef meatballs for Impossible meatballs if you prefer! They’re served to you on a litteral mine car and we cackled with laughter when we saw it. Mine Car Meatballs This dish was interesting because the meatballs are rolled in the sweet-and-sour BBQ sauce. Now if your mind relates meatballs to marinara sauce, your taste buds are met with instant alert when you get those sweeter BBQ notes. They’re savory and soft but a little juicy once you get past the sauce and break into the inside. Inside the meatball And there’s an added crunch from those potato sticks. You’ll really have to get a good amount of chimichurri to taste it and it’s only found at the top. If you’re someone who really enjoys that flavor in your foods, you might have to swirl the meatball around to get more of that sauce coverage on more than just one spot of the meatball. Next to arrive were the lovely Snakebite Bao Buns! Remember when we said earlier we’d come back around to Reggie, well, that time is now. These little guys come served in Reggie the snake’s pet cage (name tag and all). They’re made of a pair of bao buns stuffed with smoked brisket, ají amarillo mustard, peppadew relish, pickled onion, and tomato which will cost you $15. Snakebite Bao Buns These little guys have just the right amount of smoked and chewy brisket to accompany the crisp veggies between the relish and pickled onion. Altogether, they create a nice, low heat to really turn up the flavor. Uncaged! The aji amarillo mustard gave it an interesting flavor and against the smoky brisket meat, it almost tasted like a burger slider. We thought these were excellent but the sad part is there’s only two of them to enjoy so if you’re really after value, one of the other light bites might be the better pick for you (because we’re not sharing the next time we order these things)! Cross section of the bao bun Now we’re soaring right on into our next appetizer, the Air Tours Bacon and Waffles. These little guys were even more “on the nose” than the last few presentations. This is made of spiced candied bacon, chorizo waffles, and honey balsamic syrup in a syringe and will run you $14. They’re all served on a wooden airplane post where the candied bacon strips look like they’re hung up with clips to dry out. Truly we can’t get enough of this place and how it doesn’t take itself too seriously! Air Tours Bacon & Waffles The candied bacon here is perfected down to a science! It’s well cooked, crisp to the touch and crunches when you break off a piece or bite into it. It’s thoroughly coated in that candied coating. Candied bacon But, don’t get us wrong, there’s a little bit of a low heat to these little guys too! They’re a low to medium spicy heat but the waffles have bits of chorizo cooked into them that gives it an interesting savory flavor against the fluffy waffle. See the chorizo? Watch out though because your tastebuds are really in for a treat after you squeeze some of the honey balsamic syrup over it. Waffle with the syrup Our only complaint here was that the syringe for the syrup is fairly small so we found ourselves rationing the syrup between the two to give the maximum efficiency of sweet to savory ration in our two waffle bites. Last but certainly not least it was time for the Shrimp Fried Rice Bites! These were some of what we were most excited to try and we’re happy to report they were worth the wait. They’re made of breaded rice bites accompanied by shishito peppers and sweet-and-sour sauce to dip or drizzle over your bites. These will set you back $14. Shrimp Fried Rice Bites These were DIVINE. Our reporter doesn’t even typically like rice bites but said she couldn’t get enough of these! The outer crust of the rice bite may appear similar to a hushpuppy but once you break into the center of it, the rice is soft and tender. Bites with the peppers We were served 6 of these bites with our order and they were quite large! If you find you can’t get enough of the sweet-and-sour sauce to dip your rice bites into… Side of sweet-and-sour sauce …there’s a bit more included at the top of the cone that’s served to you (you know, for extra backup just hanging around). More at the top! There’s a low heat to these as well, but not nearly as much as was in the chorizo waffles — its more of a flash of heat that’s fleeting when you get more of the sweet and sour sauce. Inside look at the rice bite! If you’re really wanting to keep that heat going though, we suggest taking small bites of the shishito peppers along to really amp up the flavor! Overall This restaurant is a great option to come to alone, for an intimate date night filled with fun and laughter, or even a small group gathering. While it’s a cozier restaurant in size compared to others around Disney Springs, it’s definitely marching to the beat of its own drum and it’s got quite the menu to back it up. Menu outside of sharable plates We highly recommend making space in your next Disney World visit to pop by for some light bites and drinks — we don’t think you’ll be disappointed! Nosh or Not? Venture on out to Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar if… You’re a fan of sharable eats with storytelling settings. This entire place feels like you’ve stepped through the movie set of a classic film franchise, and some folks just love being wrapped up in the atmosphere of it all. It’s a prime spot for anyone whether you’re dining alone or with a group of friends and family! You don’t mind a spicy kick to your meals. While not everything is spicy here, we did have several dishes that had a low or medium heat to them with each bite. If this sounds right up your alley, then hop aboard! You’re a huge movie buff and love all things Indiana Jones! You truly can’t escape being enveloped into such an immersive setting, and like we said before, the right person could entertain themselves for hours simply by looking around. Hit the road if… This entire theming is just not your style. While you don’t have to know a lot about Indiana Jones to appreciate a good meal here, the theming is everywhere. If you’re looking for something a little less dramatic, you might find solice dining elsewhere. Bars and lounges aren’t your ideal restaurant. If you’re looking for an entree-style table service meal, this restaurant simply isn’t built for that so you’re better served elsewhere. You’re just not willing to do the crowds. As we mentioned before this is a smaller dining spot and at certain times of the year and days of the week, Disney Springs is known to get a little, well… peopley. If crowds just aren’t for you, then we could totally understand you looking for somewhere else to eat. We’re updating our reviews of EVERYWHERE you can eat in Disney World all the time!

Being a TV show on a streaming subscription service is HARD. That’s because we’re in an era when very few shows even make it past their first season. ©Netflix Although TV networks are also guilty of canceling TV shows, streaming seems to be canceling even more. We’ve even seen shows we thought were successful, like Amazon’s My Lady Jane, get the axe after just one season. Honestly, it’s hard to commit to a TV show these days because you just don’t know if it’s going to get renewed. Netflix is just as bad about canceling shows as everyone else, and we’re going to look at why it recently canceled eight shows. Obliterated According to Variety, Netflix canceled Obliterated after just one season back in February. The comedy from Cobra Kai creators Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald, followed a special forces team celebrating a victory after thinking they’d stopped a deadly threat in Las Vegas. As they’re partying, they realize that the threat remains, and must overcome their drunkenness and personal issues to find the real bomb and save the city. ©Netflix Let’s be honest: Have you even heard of this series? We don’t think Netflix even promoted it, so its fate might have been decided pretty early on. However, The Hollywood Reporter states that the series cracked Netflix’s Top 10 for six weeks, but reviews were not great for it: The series only scored a 45 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Ratched You might think a Sarah Paulson-helmed thriller/horror series would be a no-brainer, but according to Deadline, Netflix canceled Ratched after one season in February. This Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story)-helmed series was inspired by the terrifying Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. It followed the nurse’s early days in her journey to become a head nurse, leaving bodies in her wake. ©Netflix The series received four Emmy nominations, but even that wasn’t enough to save it. Break Point It’s no secret that Netflix isn’t necessarily known for its sports-related programming, so that could be why the streamer canceled Break Point, a docuseries that followed pro tennis players as they prepped and prepared for major tournaments. The series did get two seasons before Deadline reported its cancellation in March. ©Netflix Deadline reported that producers became frustrated with what it took to feature tennis’ biggest names on the show and it failed to cover one of the biggest stories of the last few years when Novak Djokovic failed to enter the Australian Open after refusing the COVID vaccine. Viewing figures were also reportedly slow. The Brothers Sun The Brothers Sun certainly had a star-studded cast going for it with Michelle Yeoh, Justin Chien, and Sam Song Li. However, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix still decided to cancel the series after one season. The series followed a Taipei gangster who moves to Los Angeles to protect his mother and younger brother after his father is shot by an assassin. The Brothers Sun The show premiered well on the Nielsen streaming charts and in its second week, even grew by 38 percent. It also spent five weeks in Netflix’s Top 10. The reason for its cancellation isn’t known. It’s just one of those things. Buying Beverly Hills Buying Beverly Hills, a reality real estate show, got two seasons before Netflix decided to can it. According to Deadline, Netflix decided not to renew the series back in April. The unscripted series premiered in 2022 and followed real estate agent Mauricio Umansky and his staff at The Agency, which included two of his family members. ©Netflix Deadline reported that sources confirmed that the cancellation was because of viewing numbers versus how expensive the show was to produce. Sometimes, those are just the breaks. Everything Now According to Tech Radar, Netflix canceled Everything Now back in April. The teen drama show was praised by critics and viewers, and there were even reports that a writer’s room was in place for season 2, but Netflix canceled after its first season. ©Netflix According to one of the show’s stars, Dylan Brady, the show didn’t have the numbers Netflix wanted to see. “We had some great ideas,” Brady said. “But we are at the mercy of the algorithm, I’m afraid.” At the time, Brady shared thoughts about this kind of numbers-driven system, saying that TV had historically worked differently with a slow, consistent growth over several seasons as opposed to this kind of mentality we see now where it’s like, ‘if it doesn’t get 16 million views in the first 28 days, it’s not worth anyone’s while.” My Dad the Bounty Hunter The animated series My Dad the Bounty Hunter was also canceled by Netflix after just two seasons. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix quietly canceled it in June. The series was co-created by Pixar veteran Everett Downing, Jr., and followed two children who stow away on their father’s business trip only to discover he’s an intergalactic bounty hunter. ©Netflix Although the series had “decent” numbers for Netflix and made the top 10 the week after its second season premiered, Netflix still decided to pull the plug. The Hollywood Reporter did suggest that Netflix has been slowly pulling back on original programming for kids and families over the past few years. Dead Boy Detectives Perhaps the most shocking cancellation to come from Netflix was when the streamer canceled Dead Boy Detectives after just one season. The series, which followed two ghosts who run a detective agency for other ghosts, spent three weeks on Netflix’s top 10 and ranked among Nielsen’s top 10 original streaming series twice after it premiered. The reasoning behind this cancellation, though, could be more nuanced. ©Netflix Recently, show creator Neil Gaiman has come under fire after sexual assault allegations surfaced, according to Rolling Stone. Since then, Variety reported that Disney+ has halted production on his movie The Graveyard Book. Another Gaiman-led show, Good Omens, which is on Amazon, has also had its third season pre-production paused, although Gaimam has since reportedly offered to step back from the series, according to Deadline. It’s unclear if Netflix canceled the series due to the allegations, especially with the second season of the Gaiman-led Sandman still in production for the streamer. It just goes to show that you don’t know what’s happening behind the scenes with shows that get cancellations, but, as viewers, it does make it hard to commit to a show unless it already has a few seasons under its belt. It might be time that streaming services handle shows in a different way because otherwise, we’ll just end up with a rotating door of shows that no one wants to watch. Stay tuned to DFB for more.

Some pretty massive changes are coming to Magic Kingdom. Villains Land Concept Art ©Disney Disney has confirmed two new lands are coming to Magic Kingdom — a Villains Land and a Cars Land! These new lands will undoubtedly include multiple new attractions, restaurants, and tons of new merch. Now, even though they’ve confirmed a TON, there is one attraction we’d love come to these new expansions as well! As we were saying, at the Destination D23 event in September 2023, Josh D’Amaro, the president of Disney Experiences, confirmed that Disney would be bringing both a Villains Land and a Cars Land to Magic Kingdom. So, let’s look at what has already been confirmed for these lands and then we can get into what we’re hoping Disney will bring to the park too! About the Villains Land, Disney has shared that TWO major attractions, along with new dining and shopping experiences will be presented “on an incredibly twisted grand scale.” ©Disney — Will this be where the new dining and shopping experiences will be? We’re still waiting for all the official deets on the new attractions, restaurants, gift shops, and more, but that didn’t stop us from trying to do a deep dive into the concept art for all the tasty tidbits we could find. Now as to where it’ll be located, Disney shared that “guests will be able to venture Beyond Big Thunder Mountain into an all-new land dedicated to Disney Villains.” RCID Comprehensive Plan map and map of Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland So, yes! We finally got confirmation that it’ll be past Big Thunder Mountain Railroad! Now, let’s go over what’s confirmed about the Cars Land. ©Disney This new land will bring with it two NEW Cars attractions! For the first attraction, we’re going to race through the mountains on wild terrain along mountain trails as we dodge geysers and splash through mud holes. The second ride will be geared toward “smaller racers” and will be fun for the whole family! As to where this land is going to go, Disney shared that this new land will be replacing Tom Sawyer Island and the Rivers of America in Frontierland. Map of where the new Cars area will be While we don’t have an official timeline for when the Cars expansion will open, Disney has already confirmed that work on the area will begin in early 2025, and we saw that the first permits were filed in August 2024 to start the process. Now, both of these lands sound great and all, but let’s talk about what we’re dreaming of for Magic Kingdom: A proper villains dark ride. Let’s go over some of the ideas we had for this ride: A “Fantasia” Villains Dark Ride: Could you imagine stepping into the swirling, mysterious world of Fantasia’s dark elements? Picture the Night on Bald Mountain scene, with Chernabog towering over you, summoning spirits and flames. The whole thing could be this eerie, orchestral experience with stunning visuals and immersive special effects. In our opinion, Fantasia is iconic, and honestly, it deserves to get its time in the spotlight. ©Disney A Trip to the Underworld with Hades: We need a ride that lets us take a trip to the Underworld, guided by none other than Hades himself, right?? Can you imagine his sarcastic one-liners as he takes you on a wild, fiery adventure through the realm of the dead? The humor, the fire effects, the possibility of run-ins with some of the most iconic Disney villains? Yes, please! ©Disney Maleficent’s Lair: Let’s not forget about the queen of all Disney villains — Maleficent. What if there was a ride that took us deep into her forbidden fortress, with thorns, fire-breathing dragons, and, of course, that iconic transformation scene? We’re all here for it, right? ©Disney These baddies aside, these new lands are really going to change the look and feel of Magic Kingdom forever! Until then, stay tuned to Disney Food Blog, where we will continue to monitor any news about the construction that will happen in Magic Kingdom. When Is Villains Land Opening in Disney World?

Get ready because something BIG is on the horizon at Disney World! ©Disney We’ve been tracking the progress of the latest expansion to Disney World hotel offerings and the Disney Vacation Club community for months. Our excitement grew even more when Disney gave us a sneak peek at what these rooms will look like inside and they’ve already announced when this new addition will officially open! However, one big question we were left with was WHEN current and potential DVC members would be able to purchase and book this new tower addition and it seems as if finally have some answers! The Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Villas and Bungalows will be the latest in Disney World to join the DVC line of hotels. Ever since the first concepts of the plans for this new tower addition were rolled out, we’ve been excitedly tracking its construction progress looking for any details we could find! Now that the construction is beginning to wind down, Disney’s released more information on burning questions we still had left unanswered about when we will be able to visit this new hotel expansion. Artist Rendering — Wailulu Bar & Grill © Disney The new tower will sit adjacent to the current buildings for Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, however, it will certainly be the tallest addition for the hotel to date. Its rooms will be filled with hidden details (and Mickeys), beautiful flowing decor, and calming neutral and blue hues inspired by the South Pacific Islands! If you’re looking to claim this as your next vacation home when visiting Disney World, the first day of the tower’s opening will be December 17th, 2024. Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort construction Although Disney already gave us a peek into what we can expect to see inside each of the rooms, we had yet to learn when current and potential DVC members will be able to purchase contracts for the new tower and use their vacation points to book their first stay here — until now. ©Disney Disney has just announced the timeline of when these purchases and bookings will begin — let’s break it down together! Sales for contracts to current Disney Vacation Club members will begin starting October 1st. Starting October 15th, Disney Vacation Club current owners with existing and active contracts at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Villas and Bungalows AND those who have added-on a contract for this hotel will be able to use their DVC points to book. October 29th is when the public will be able to book these new rooms. New DVC members at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resorts Villas & Bungalows will be able to book with their points starting November 5th, followed by all current DVC members open to booking with their DVC points as of November 19th. ©Disney Disney has released the points chart for the Island Tower as well, which you can check out below! ©Disney We’re really excited to book our first stay here and take a look at all this new addition has to offer to the Seven Seas Lagoon hotels, and check out the Happily Ever After fireworks from its surely stunning views!

Have you been keeping up with all the announcements of things to come to Disney World in the near future?? Magic Kingdom If you have, you’ve probably probably heard the massive transformation they’re planning for Magic Kingdom. In typical Disney fashion, they’re planning big with new lands, new attractions, and fresh experiences for the next generation of Disney fans. On the face of it, all of these things sound amazing, right? Well, not everyone thinks so. Let’s talk about it! As we were saying, there’s a TON that’ll be coming to Magic Kingdom like a new nighttime parade and two whole new lands — a Cars Land and a Villains Land!! Villains Land Concept Art ©Disney Now, while we can’t wait to tromp about these new spaces and enjoy all they have to offer, these announcements have definitely sparked some serious debates among Disney lovers. ©Disney On one side, we’ve got the group of fans who are pumped for the changes, and they’re hyping themselves up for the new rides and lands. But on the flip side, some longtime Disney fans are absolutely heartbroken about what they’ll have to give up — specifically, Tom Sawyer Island and Rivers of America. Concept Art It’s nostalgia vs. new standoff, and it’s absolutely got the fandom split. The Excitement for the New Let’s start with the folks who are ready and raring to embrace the future. For them, Disney has a solid track record for creating immersive new lands that make guests feel like they’ve stepped straight into the movies they love. They’re referencing the mind-blowing detail of Galaxy’s Edge and the enchantment of Pandora — The World of Avatar. You can see why they’re imagining a Cars Land where you can race with your favorite Cars characters, and a Villains Land where you finally get to meet the baddies in a dark and thrilling atmosphere. Coming Coming to Frontierland at Magic Kingdom, a new area themed to Pixar Animation Studios’ “Cars” will leave Radiator Springs and head to the wilderness with two new attractions including an off-road race. These are the people who can’t wait and are speculating how Disney will use next-level technology to create new jaw-dropping attractions for these lands. So, all in all, for them, these announcements have been a dream come true. At the same time, however, they may have some fond memories of Tom Sawyer Island, but they’re all about trading that nostalgia for something brand new straight from the minds of Imagineers. The Nostalgia for the Old As we said, there’s another side to this — all the fans who are devastated about what Disney is choosing to leave behind. For many of them, Tom Sawyer Island and Rivers of America are irreplaceable pieces of Disney history. These aren’t just attractions, they’re memories. The slower pace of these areas offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the park, and to some, losing them feels like a betrayal of Disney’s roots. Map of where the new Cars area will be These fans feel like Disney could have easily built the new attractions somewhere else — maybe in another part of the park or, better yet, in a fifth park altogether. They feel that there’s plenty of space around Disney World, so why get rid of beloved classics? For them, the idea of losing these slower, more peaceful areas in favor of another high-energy land feels like the park is losing some of its unique charm. A Divided Fandom Like we said, if nothing else, these announcements has definitely left the Disney fan community divided. While some are eagerly counting down the days to run around the new Cars and Villains Lands, we’ve got others who are mourning the loss of some simpler and more nostalgic parts of the park. Ultimately it’s the battle of out with the old, and in with the new. Villains Land coming to Magic Kingdom ©Disney What are your thoughts on the matter? Are you ready for the new lands, or are you holding onto the magic of the older ones? Sound off in the comments below!

We are headed to Disney Springs to try out some NEW snacks for Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month! ©Disney This year there are OVER 30 new snacks coming to the Disney Parks. We think these were incredible and a great value for the price. You get lots of DELICIOUS food! The Tostones Nachos have a great amount of Indian spice to them, but they also have lots of Latin flair in them. eet by Maneet Chauhan Now, let’s head over to The Polite Pig to try out their Blueberry Margarita Churros. You can get these churros for $7 and they are cream cheese-filled churros dusted with cinnamon and sugar, drizzled with a blueberry margarita syrup. Blueberry Margarita Churros These are some of the crunchiest churros we have probably ever had. They are very well baked! Soft on the inside, yet super crunchy on the outside. We were so impressed with the texture. However, we were disappointed in the flavors of the churro itself. Blueberry Margarita Churros The churros are cream filled on the inside, but we didn’t get much beyond a slight cream cheese flavor. The blueberry margarita flavor is mostly in the blueberries that are scattered around the churros. The blueberries taste like they have been soaking in the margarita syrup and almost all the flavor comes from them. They are a little tart and have wonderful flavor. To really enjoy the flavor of this dish, make sure you are eating the blueberries and the churro all in one bite! Blueberry Margarita Churros Finally, we are headed to the Cilantro Food Truck to try the Mexican Street Corn. The Mexican Street Corn is elote on the cob, lime, mayo, cotija cheese, chile-lime seasoning, and cilantro and you can get it for $7. Mexican Street Corn We saved one of the best for last (although we are also still thinking about those Tostones Nachos from eet by Maneet Chauhan). This Mexican Street Corn was amazing. You can taste the lime, the Tajin, and the cotija cheese. All on top of the creamy mayonnaise. It was delicious and some of the best Mexican Street Corn we have had in Orlando. Mexican Street Corn It wasn’t super runny or buttery to where everything ran off. All the ingredients stayed on the corn, and it was completely coated. We can’t give enough compliments to how well coated this Mexican Street Corn was. This snack hit it out of the park, and we would definitely come back for another one. While it is a bit pricey at $7, it was REALLY tasty! Mexican Street Corn We had a successful day trying some new snacks at Disney Springs! The Tostones Nachos from eet by Maneet Chauhan and the Mexican Street Corn from the Cilantro Food Truck definitely topped our list. Stay tuned to DFB for even more Disney food reviews!

Are you planning a Disney World trip for 2025? Well, you don’t have much longer to plan because 2025 will be here before you know it. Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Maybe you’ve worked out your budget and thought about how long you want to stay at Disney World. But have you put a lot of thought into where you’ll stay? Picking out the right hotel for you and your group could be the most important decision you make. If you plan on staying on Disney World property, though, some hotels are clear winners over others for 2025, and we’re going to tell you why. Before we get to our list of the best hotels for 2025, we’ll tell you how we came up with these choices. First, we looked at hotels that will have construction happening in or around them in 2025 so we could delete them from the list. Then, we looked at our readers’ most popular personal preferences, including some fan-favorite Disney World hotels, as well as anything NEW coming to Disney World hotels in 2025. So, let’s get on with it, shall we? Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort We’re starting with a deluxe hotel because you might want to stay at a deluxe resort that’s just a quick Monorail ride away from Magic Kingdom and EPCOT. Our pick is the Polynesian because the theming is ON POINT, and the new Disney Vacation Club villas will be opening at the end of 2024, so you can book them for 2025. The Island Tower at the Polynesian will offer rooms with plenty of space if you have a larger group. Island Tower Not only can you book duo studios, but you’ll also be able to book one- and two-bedroom villas that will feature a full kitchen, outdoor patio, and even your own washer and dryer. The new tower will also have two-bedroom penthouse villas with views of Seven Seas Lagoon and Magic Kingdom. SEE INSIDE the NEW Rooms at Disney’s Polynesian Tower in Disney World Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa If money is no object, then we say book the YOLO hotel, the Grand Floridian, one of the most expensive hotels on Disney World property. This hotel is LUSH and even has its own spa if you want to treat yourself even better during your Disney World vacation. It’s also on the Monorail and features Mary Poppins-themed rooms—what’s not to love? Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa Also, 1900 Park Fare just recently reopened, so if you want an elevated character dining experience (and strawberry soup), you’ll have it right there. There’s also some excellent fine dining here, including Narcoossee’s and the Michelin-starred Victoria & Albert’s. FULL REVIEW: The Changes at 1900 Park Fare Are DIVISIVE, but This Updated Disney World Restaurant Won Us Over! The Cabins at Fort Wilderness Disney’s The Cabins at Fort Wilderness have officially opened, and they’re perfect for a 2025 stay if you have a group you’re bringing along with you. Each cabin can sleep up to six adults and include one bedroom, one bathroom, a living room, a full kitchen, and a private patio. NEW Fort Wilderness Cabins! Even better? If you’re bringing a furry companion with you, some cabins are even dog-friendly. The cabins also feature a lot of fun rustic detailing that makes you feel like you’re camping but with a roof over your head. FULL TOUR: We Got an Exclusive Look at the NEW Fort Wilderness Cabins in Disney World! Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin The Swan and Dolphin is pretty much our fave hotel NOT owned by Disney on Disney World property. First, you get the same perks (Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours) that you would get at a Disney-owned deluxe hotel at prices that are generally lower than what you would pay at a Disney World deluxe hotel. Oh, and it’s also a Marriott property, meaning you can earn Marriott Bonvoy rewards points, as well as use them on stays (which could lower your cost even more). Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin The location of this hotel is also one of the best in Disney World. It’s in the EPCOT area, meaning you can walk to all the other hotels in the EPCOT area, as well as EPCOT and the EPCOT Skyliner station. You have access to a lot of great dining at the Swan and Dolphin, but you can also eat at the numerous other restaurants in the area or on the Skyliner route. It’s a win-win! 3 Reasons Why We Stay at the Swan and Dolphin Hotel Again and Again in Disney World Disney’s Pop Century Resort We love being close to the Skyliner in Disney World, so why not stay at a hotel with Skyliner access? The good news is that you can stay at a value resort and get that. Granted, the Skyliner DOES usually temporarily close in January for a few days for refurbishment, but you should have access to it (weather permitting) through the rest of the year. We also love Pop Century for its fun over-the-top decades theming, but something NEW is coming to Pop Century soon, too. Pop Century is such a fun resort The food court at Pop Century is under renovation, which means it will be freshly updated in 2025. Now, we don’t know if that means you’ll have new menu options (we can only hope), but the renovations could mean this is the value resort to stay at next year! This is also one of the few Disney World hotels that still has its own special themed dessert, the Tie-Dye Cheesecake. Why Disney Adults Can’t Stay Away From Pop Century Hotel Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort Let’s say you’re on a serious budget or just don’t want to spend a lot of money on your hotel room. Disney’s cheapest resorts are the All-Star Resorts, but we have a favorite. That’s Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort. Why is this our favorite? Because we think it has the best theming when compared to the other All-Star Resorts. It’s all about Disney movies? What’s not to love about that? Toy Story at Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort Disney’s All-Star Movies features sections devoted to Fantasia (plus a Fantasia-inspired pool), Toy Story, 101 Dalmations, The Love Bug, and The Mighty Ducks. The rooms are identical to Disney’s other value resorts, but the theming is where this hotel wins our hearts. FULL TOUR of an All-Star Movies Standard Hotel Room in Disney World!

The Jungle Cruise and “it’s a small world” are both now closed in Disneyland Park for refurbishment. Jungle Cruise will reopen on October 4th, before “it’s a small world.” This means that as of today, both Jungle Cruises on either U.S. coast are currently closed for maintenance.

One thing The Walt Disney Company does is embrace other industries, especially fashion. Disneyland Paris 30th anniversary fireworks show Disney is always teaming up with fashion designers for clothing, accessories, shoes, and more. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Disney is teaming up with a big fashion designer to bring fashion design directly to its parks in a brand new way known as “fashiontainment.” Yep, there’s a new made-up word for the experience and everything. Basically, you’ll soon be able to experience a fashion runway IN a Disney theme park, because why not? According to The New York Times, fashiontainment is a new thing where fashion leaves the runway and makes its way into entertainment spaces. This is the time of year when designers usually hit up the runways for Fashion Week, but this year, they’re taking their fashion to other spaces. For example, designer Ralph Lauren recently held a show in the Hamptons at Khalily Stables. CFDA has teamed up with New York’s Rockefeller Center to build a storied ice rink that will show off its fashion to everyone. The Apollo Theater is hosting Colm Dillane’s new collection in a night of comedy. ©Ralph Lauren Disney is also jumping on the fashiontainment train, though. Fashion label Coperni is bringing a fashion show on October 1st to Disneyland Paris. It’s likely there will be a Cinderella theme. It’s also likely a lot of celebrities will be on hand to check out the collection. ©Disney So could we expect to see fashion shows come to Orlando or Anaheim? Well, it’s doubtful. Disneyland Paris makes sense as Paris is considered the fashion capital of the world. So don’t expect to see Mickey or Minnie strutting down the catwalk anytime soon in the U.S. parks (although we would argue that Clarabelle and Daisy were MADE to be runway models).

Are you an EXTREME Disney fan? ©Disney If you’ve always dreamed of living in a house from a Disney movie, now’s your chance! Disney is in the process of constructing multiple Storyliving by Disney communities with homes designed in part by Imagineers. Each house has plenty of magical touches…but some buildings in the communities are a little extra special! Cotino, a Storyliving by Disney Community, is set to open in 2025. We’ve seen some glimpses at the houses coming to the community, but now we’ve got a closer look at the Artisan Club, which takes inspiration from a Disney family! ©Disney Part of the Artisan Club, the Parr House, is inspired by the mid-century modern home from Pixar’s Incredibles 2. According to Disney, “The two-story house will be a multi-functional space where club members can attend events, celebrate milestones, and even enjoy an occasional overnight stay.” The Artisan Club will be a go-to gathering place for members of the community and their guests, with spaces dedicated to dining, creative pursuits, working out, water recreation, and unique programs. ©Disney The Parr House is constructed in the mid-century modern style and features a “rich mix of textures and colors.” Imagineers have even planned to add in a few props inspired by Incredibles 2 that Disney fans will appreciate. The color palette matches the characters and settings from the film — each of the bedrooms will feature the signature style of the characters, including Edna Mode, Lucius Best aka “Frozone,” and the Parr kids Jack-Jack, Violet, and Dash. The first floor of the home even features an art studio! ©Disney The Parr House’s massive windows will give an excellent view of Cotino Bay, and an elevated patio will have stunning views of the surrounding mountains. It’ll be the perfect place to gather and celebrate special occasions with your family! ©Disney We’ll make sure to keep you updated with any more information about Cotino and its many special features.

Single rider lines in Disney World are a fantastic way to skip a (usually) long standby line. Single Rider lines can save you the wait! There’s a caveat, though — you have to be willing to be split up from your party because, as the name suggests, there’s only one person needed to fill in the empty seat in the ride vehicle. Not every ride has a single-rider line either (although we would love to see more in the parks), and while we appreciate the ones we have, there’s one particular single-rider line that can be both a blessing and a curse at the same time. To start off, we feel we need to list all the rides with single-rider lines in each of the parks: Expedition Everest (Animal Kingdom) Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster (Hollywood Studios) Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run (Hollywood Studios) Soarin’ (EPCOT; only sometimes!) Rise of the Resistance (Hollywood Studios; being tested periodically) Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge We were really excited to see a single-rider option for Millennium Falcon offered right off the bat when the ride opened, and we’ve used it many, many times since. It’s rare to see a long wait for single riders — in fact, we’ve had more times where we walk right up and only wait a few minutes until we’re boarding! Single Rider Sign So why do so many families and groups of friends choose to wait in that long standby line or purchase Lightning Lane Multi Pass and book a return time? Well, for one, this ride is REALLY fun to do with your group since you’re all working together to complete the mission, and what you do really affects your outcome! If you hop in the single rider line, you’ll be placed with a group of strangers. It doesn’t take away from the fun, but it’s just a different experience. Millennium Falcon Single Rider Line One of the biggest draws of this ride is getting to pilot the Millennium Falcon — almost every Star Wars fan’s dream. When the Cast Members assign who is doing each job on the ship, they assign it front to back, which goes 2 Pilots, 2 Gunners, and 2 Engineers. This means that since Single Riders are typically put in last, you’ll almost always be an Engineer. Inside the Millennium Falcon! There’s nothing wrong with being an Engineer, especially if you’re not a huge Star Wars fan, or you’d rather watch the chaos unfold in front of you, being an Engineer may be perfect. However, suppose it’s been your dream to pilot the Millennium Falcon or at least be a Gunner. In that case, you’ll likely be very unhappy with the single-rider line, and it’ll be more worth waiting in the regular queue or booking that Lighting Lane Multi Pass return time. Millennium Falcon It’s always possible that other members of the group you’re put with will want to switch with you, and you’ll get to be one of the other positions (which is allowed!), but if we’re being honest, that’s pretty rare. Now, since the single-rider line usually doesn’t take any time at all, you can just get in line over and over again in the hopes that you’ll eventually get to be a Pilot or Gunner if you’re really against waiting in line or don’t want to spend any more money, but it may take a little while!
