Have a FREE Trial: First Up, the Frogg Togg Poncho! FROGG TOGGS Poncho We have tried A LOT of ponchos at Walt Disney World over the years, and this is BY FAR our favorite. This poncho — available on Amazon in multiple colors, including this striking hot pink — had several features that we simply adored. The material allowed the rain to slip right off, and between that and the lack of sleeves, we didn’t feel steamed or hot underneath. On top of that, the poncho was large enough that our backpack was able to fit underneath it comfortably, while still keeping the bag and our back completely covered from the rain. Packing bag If all that wasn’t enough, the poncho even came with a waterproof storage bag, meaning we were able to quickly pack it up and throw it in our backpack as soon as the storm ended without worrying about anything in there getting wet.

It’s Halloween season in Disney World, and we’re eating a LOT of treats! Mickey pumpkin wreath in Magic Kingdom From snacks available during the daytime in the parks to treats from Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, we’ve been pretty busy with trying a LOT of special eats. And during a recent visit to Magic Kingdom, we added another to that list! We stopped by The Lunching Pad recently to try out the seasonal Jalapeño Popper Dog! For a limited time, this treat is joining the other specialty hot dogs at The Lunching Pad. It’s on the menu for a limited time! For $14.79 you get an all-beef hot dog topped with sriracha cream cheese, crispy onions, bacon, and Hades relish. It’s quite the creation! It comes with a bag of chips on the side. Hot dog and chips As far as the taste goes, it has a decent low heat to it. If you’re a fan of a mild salsa or a jalapeño heat, you’ll enjoy the relish, because it’s the hottest part of the hot dog. The sriracha cream cheese is SO creamy, which adds a nice texture, and it was probably our favorite of the toppings. It’s a beauty! The bacon bits and crispy onions add a nice crunch to the mix. Honestly, this was pretty delicious and we’d try it again! If you’re a hot dog fan and don’t mind a little heat, we’d recommend you try it out.

If driving to Disney World is how you get to the Most Magical Place on Earth, then you know just how important it is to find CHEAP gas prices before you hit the road. Disney World Gas prices fluctuate like the wind, which can make it difficult to budget ahead of your trip. And, depending on where it is you’re coming from, sometimes driving can be just as expensive as flying. But, we have good news for Floridians and those planning on driving to Disney World soon! Good news for Floridians and those who drive to Disney World! After briefly rising 7 cents last week, gas prices have now dropped to their lowest point in two months, according to AAA. Gas is getting expensive! The state average on Sunday, August 18th was $3.31 per gallon — 2 cents less than last week, and 12 cents less than one month ago. Not only that, but it’s also 53 cents less than the same time last year. In addition, the state average is 33 cents below the overall high of $3.64 per gallon so far this year. Gas Station in Hollywood Studios AAA spokesperson Mark Jenkins said, “The price of crude continues to influence prices at the pump…Oil prices increased early last week on renewed optimism about the U.S. economy after a July domestic consumer spending report was better than analysts expected. By the end of the week, however, weak economic data from China caused oil prices to soften.” West Palm Beach and Boca Raton have the highest gas prices at $3.49 per gallon, while the current Orlando average was hovering around $3.25 on Monday afternoon. Speedway Gas Station Outside of Magic Kingdom This is likely welcome news for many, as back in April, gas prices reached $3.62 across the state. This was 11 cents more per gallon than Florida gas pumps saw this time last year. The springtime high for 2023, however, was $3.72. Prices have slowly been falling, with a $3.36/gallon average throughout July, and prices even lower at the pumps now. Disney World gas station in March 2022 Ultimately, though, it’s a good idea to check average gas prices before you head out on your trip so you know what to expect. And, if you’ll be driving to Disney World soon, you might want to consider budgeting some extra dough for gas — you never know when those prices might creep back up! ©Spectrum News Don’t forget that once you arrive at Disney World, you can drive yourself around or opt to take Disney’s free transportation services. There are buses, boats, the iconic monorail, and the Skyliner as well! Disney World’s Skyliner is a ride!

It’s almost time! Time to eat and drink around the world and enjoy the BEST food EPCOT has to offer. 2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival Yep, the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival starts soon: it begins on August 29th and runs through November 23rd. During the festival, you’ll have a chance to sample food and drinks from a TON of food booths all over World Showcase, as well as some new special festival foods at existing EPCOT eateries. Then there’s the Eat to the Beat concert series, where you can jam out with your favorite band while you wine and dine. If you’re attending the 2024 festival, we’ve got the best tips you may not know about! So whether you’ve been to the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival before or if this is your first time at the festival, we’re sharing our best tips to guarantee you have a great time. Plan ahead We cannot stress the importance of planning ahead — yes, pick out what foods you want to eat BEFORE you get to the festival. Trust us, there are a TON of choices, and if you wait until you get to EPCOT and just try to wing it, you’re going to get overwhelmed fast AND you might miss out on things you really wanted to try. There are SO many foods to choose from The best way to make a game plan for the festival? Be sure to grab the DFB Food & Wine Festival Guide, which has everything you need to plan your time at the festival. We’ve got all the food booths listed out, and you can choose your priorities before you ever set foot in the park. FULL LIST of Eats on the Cheese Crawl at EPCOT’s 2024 Food and Wine Festival BYOT (Bring Your Own Tray)+ If you’re planning on ordering multiple items from a food booth, you’re going to need a tray to carry them all. You can get inexpensive trays from Amazon, and trust us — this is a LIFESAVER. Unless you have extra helping hands, a tray will let you carry all the food and drinks you order. But it’s not the ONLY thing you need. Get a Tray! You’ll probably also want to bring your own reusable silverware. Why? Well, although plastic silverware is generally available around each booth, the dispensers occasionally run out (although they are refilled often). You’ll also just save time by bringing your own. We also highly recommend bringing reusable straws, too — Disney is doing away with plastic straws and if you don’t like drinking out of cardboard straws or the agave straws (that we think add a strange flavor to drinks), bring your own. The Internet HATED These EPCOT Food and Wine Festival Dishes, but They Are Returning in 2024 Anyway Stay hydrated Yes, we’re going to tell you to stay hydrated — are you surprised? This is always our biggest piece of advice when it comes to visiting Disney World. The Florida heat and humidity is NO JOKE — and you can start feeling the effects of it pretty fast. Drinking water will help you deal with the heat. Water Fountain Refill Station This is especially true, though, for the festival, especially if you’re drinking alcohol. If you’re drinking around the festival, you’ll dehydrate even faster, so it’s important to keep drinking water every chance you get. Bring a water bottle to the parks, fill it up at the water refill stations, and ask for that free cup of water at quick service locations. The ONLY Shirt You Need For the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival Is HERE Buy Disney gift cards You can get Disney gift cards before your trip or you can buy scannable gift cards on wristbands at the festival. If you buy a gift card for a certain amount, you can stick to that amount for your festival budget. This is a great way to make sure you don’t overspend (because it is VERY easy). Food and Wine Festival Wristlet Gift Card 2023 We particularly like the little gift cards on the wristbands because they are so convenient to use at the festival. An ICONIC Booth Is MISSING from the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival This Year…Sort Of Bring cash Okay, so now that we’ve told you to bring a gift card, we’re also going to suggest you have some cash on hand…just in case. We’ve seen some of the credit card and gift card readers go down…usually during storms. During these times, cash is king for making those food and drink purchases. Cashier at food booth Sure, you’ll find an ATM in the parks, but you’ll pay a hefty fee to use them. If you DO need an ATM, though, there are two in EPCOT: one near the World Showcase bridge (that bridge that leads to World Showcase from World Celebration) and one near the main EPCOT entrance. Why We’re Getting Worried About the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival Don’t make reservations for dining Yes, EPCOT has some incredible restaurants, but you do NOT want to eat at any of them during the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. Why? Because then you’ll fill up and not be able to check out all the food booths you might want to visit. So we always suggest skipping the advance dining reservations and just eating around the festival instead. Le Cellier There is SO much to eat at the festival, and you honestly don’t want to miss out on it by filling up at a restaurant. Le Cellier, Biergarten, and all those other great World Showcase restaurants will just have to wait. The 5 NEW Booths Coming to the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival Don’t go on weekends Whatever you do, try not to visit the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival on the weekends. This is when the locals go to the festival, meaning EPCOT will be extra crowded and chaotic. You’ll find yourself standing in long lines for food, and, yes, things have even been known to get a little rowdier than normal, particularly on weekend nights. Avoid crowds by avoiding weekends Visit the festival during the week instead — trust us, you’ll have a much more pleasant time with fewer crowds and shorter lines.

There is nothing quite like the feeling when you first arrive to Orlando for your Disney World vacation! You have your whole trip ahead of you and you can’t wait to get to the parks. Orlando Airport While there are a couple of options to get to Orlando, a popular choice is flying into the Orlando International Airport. As a result, you can probably guess that the Orlando International Airport sees quite a few passengers traveling through it, but just how many may surprise you! If you fly to Disney World, you may be very familiar with the Orlando International Airport. While it is one of two airports that are within a somewhat close proximity to Disney World, it has definitely become the most popular choice for getting to the theme parks. A report was just released that details just how BUSY the Orlando International Airport has become. Orlando International Airport The Airports Council International North America (ACI-NA) recently released their 2023 Traffic Summary. This report summarizes data about “passenger, cargo, and aircraft operations data from 275 North American airports.” In this report, Orlando International Airport (MCO) was ranked as the 7th busiest airport in the United States for passenger traffic. MCO over a 15% increase in passenger traffic which was the largest growth for U.S. airports. Globally, Orlando International Airport ranks 18th among international traffic totals. ©ACI-NA In 2023, Orlando International Airport had a total of over 57 million passengers. That is a whole lot of people going through one spot! While the Orlando International Airport is the seventh busiest airport in the United States, we have lots of tips to make your trip through the airport easier. First, make sure to utilize the 3-2-1- rule. The 3-2-1 rule asks that passengers arrive to the airport at least three hours before their flight, head to security at least two hours before their flight, and arrive at the gate at least one hour prior to departure. Terminal C at Orlando International Airport Additionally, you can take advantage of a reserved spot in security. To reserve your spot, you can use a FREE service called MCO Reserve powered by CLEAR. The service is available from 5AM-5PM, so you can use this service if your flight is set to depart between 6:30AM and 8:30PM. You can make reservations for MCO Reserve up to three days before your flight departs. Orlando Airport TSA Lines You can also take advantage of reserved parking. You can reserve your spot on the airport’s website or on the airport’s mobile app. To reserve a spot, you just need to log-in, put in your vehicle information, and pay for the spot. You will receive a QR code that will give you access to level 4 of Parking Garage C. Orlando International Airport Finally, make sure you have two apps downloaded ahead of your trip. We suggest having the Orlando International Airport app and the app for the airline you are flying on. On the Orlando International Airport app you can save your parking location, get current security wait times, see any airport updates, and find dining and shopping locations. On your airline’s app you can check on any delays or cancellations through the app, as well as see up-to-date gate information. Be prepared for your flight! Be prepared and make sure you leave yourself plenty of time to navigate the Orlando International Airport. Plus, having additional time means you can also spend time exploring the airport and not having to rush around. Stay tuned to DFB for all your Disney World news! We have the solutions for two frustrating Orlando Airport problems! Read more right here!

Well, let’s just say that a WHOLE lot of EVERYTHING is going on in Magic Kingdom right now. Jungle Cruise A new ride, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, just opened. Country Bear Jamboree just reopened with a brand new show. Tom Sawyer Island and the Rivers of America are about to get replaced with a new Cars land. A new Villains land will be coming soon behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. A new Pirates of the Caribbean tavern is on the way! Whew! Like we said, it’s a lot! Well, something else is happening in Magic Kingdom soon, too: a classic attraction will be temporarily closing. As we previously told you, the classic attraction Jungle Cruise in Adventureland will be closing temporarily on August 26th for refurbishment. The ride will reopen towards the end of the Halloween season on October 17th. World Famous Jungle Cruise We have noticed though, that Jungle Cruise is not currently on the list of rides open during both Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. It’s unclear if the ride will be available at the parties after it reopens in October, but there will be some parties after its reopening date. We’re also expecting the ride to get its annual holiday overlay, Jingle Cruise, in November. Jingle Cruise Just a few years ago, the Jungle Cruise had some BIG ride changes with updated scenes and storylines. This is likely just routine maintenance to make sure that the ride is ready for the busy holiday season. Jungle Cruise If you find yourself missing the Jungle Cruise puns during this time, be sure to make a dining reservation for Skipper Canteen, a HIGHLY underrated restaurant that’s Jungle Cruise-themed. The servers there (along with the food names) are sure to give you all the fun and groan-worthy puns you need to tide you over while the ride is closed. Skipper Canteen We’ll be keeping an eye out for more ride updates, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

We’re not-so-patiently waiting for TWO new dining locations at one Disney World hotel! Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Disney’s BoardWalk has been working on both The Cake Bake Shop and Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs for a while now, and we’ve been following the construction closely. Now, one of those locations has made significant progress! Is Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs coming soon? Well, during a recent visit to the BoardWalk, we noticed that the construction hedges had been removed from the site! These were briefly removed back in June, but they went back up shortly after. Walls are down, baby! Now that those hedges have been removed again, we can see the full stand with its signage, ordering windows, and pickup spots. There seem to be two places for pickup — one on the front of the building and one on the side. The side pickup window The same is true for the ordering locations — there looks to be one on the side and one on the front. But the real kicker is that the side ordering window has a first glimpse at the MENU! The ordering window and the menu! The menu listed on the building currently has a variety of options, including everything from classic corn dogs to lemonade to cotton candy. You can even order a full meal! For corn dog options, you can get the Classic Dog, the Pickle Dog, the Kids Dog, the Mexican Street Dog, or the Golden Dragon. For beverages, they have regular lemonade and strawberry lemonade, and then you can order either pink vanilla or pineapple cotton candy. Yum, yum, and YUM That looks like a pretty full menu! If you want to make it a meal, you can add lemonade to any corn dog for $2 off. They also sell other drink options and chips. But those of you who are Disneyland Resort fans know that this isn’t the first Disney location of Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs! In Anaheim, you’ll also find a Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs at Downtown Disney. Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs The Downtown Disney menu also offers the classic, the Kid Dog, the Golden Dragon, and the Pickle Corn Dog. However, they don’t have the specialty lemonade or the Mexican Street Dog. This location does offer many specialty flavors that rotate throughout the year, so we wonder if we’ll get the same in Disney World. Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs menu in Disneyland Resort We can’t wait to stop by this spot when it officially opens — we’ll be on the lookout for any indication of that date, so stay tuned to DFB for the latest!

After all the announcements at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, we’re gearing up for some BIG changes coming to Disney World. Spaceship Earth With additions like a Villains Land and a Monsters, Inc. Land on the horizon, there’s going to be quite a bit to explore in the future. Unfortunately, it’ll likely take some time for these projects to be completed. The good news is that one of Disney World’s big updates is already underway, and it’s set to open next year! Test Track in EPCOT closed in June of this year to receive a major overhaul. This isn’t your regular ride refurbishment — nope, the attraction will be getting a new storyline and new ride vehicles before its reopening in 2025. Test Track During the Disney Experiences showcase at D23, we got a little more information about the changes coming to the ride. The updated version of Test Track “will celebrate today’s innovation while highlighting the past, present, and future.” The queue is getting six different exhibits that celebrate the vehicles (and the people behind the vehicles) that “push the envelope and help get people to our next chapter in our motion journey.” Reimagining concept art ©Disney New show scenes will be added throughout the ride to celebrate transportation technology and how this age of mobility connects everyone. Disney says we will, “Enjoy a joy ride through scenes focusing on onboard technology, customization and personalization.” At the end of the ride, you’ll take a trip through a “scenic outdoor route reminding us all of the joys of driving, taking in the world around us, and spending quality time with friends and family.” ©Disney It’s that last description that has fans of the old version of Test Track getting worried. If you’ll recall, the ride used to take visitors on a “sim car test” where you would design a car and then go through a course to test things like the capability and efficiency of your vehicle. The ride ended with a climactic “power test” where you’d reach top speed as you did a lap around the outside of the ride building. Power Test launch But with this new description of a “scenic outdoor route” where we’re reminded of the “joys of driving,” it doesn’t exactly sound like a high-speed thrill ride. In fact, it sounds more like Disney’s describing a Sunday afternoon drive. You know, the kind where you roll slowly through your hometown with the windows down on a nice day? Yeah, that’s not really the same vibe as the old Test Track. On the Power Test Ultimately, Disney hasn’t given specifics yet on the top speed of the ride or what EXACTLY will happen during that final lap around the building. We’ve got our fingers crossed that we’ll get to keep the speed element, but we’ll have to wait and see. And maybe one of those “joys of driving” is going 65 mph in an open-top car? We sure think so!

Where do you go when you need that midday caffeine pick-me-up or the morning cup of Joe? Fun fact: Coffee tastes BETTER by a Castle! For Disney World fans, you typically have two choices — either Joffrey’s or Starbucks. And if you’re one of those Starbucks fanatics, we’ve got some exciting teasers about seasonal drinks coming soon. Bring on the falltime treats! Starbucks has been posting some rather cryptic things on Instagram that we think need decoding! Three different videos have appeared in recent days that seem to tease fall flavors. Starbucks on the West Side of Disney Springs First up, we’ve got this strange video of two people grilling corn…except it turns into candy corn? People in the comments are very intrigued by the possibility of candy corn-flavored beverages coming to Starbucks. Alas, Starbucks hasn’t yet released details about when these new fall drinks could drop or what they will be. We can’t wait to check out the lineup! Typically, these seasonal beverages will also be offered at Starbucks locations in the Disney parks — what’s more magical than a delicious coffee on Main Street, U.S.A.? We’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for an official announcement from the company, so stay tuned to DFB. Click Here to Check Out One of Our Starbucks Reviews!

Hey, friends! Are you looking to take your little on to Disney? Do you feel like you have 1000 questions and 2000 worries about what to do and what could go wrong? Disneyland Don’t worry — I’ve been in your shoes, and I’m here to HELP! Not only have I been working here at DFB for over 5 years but I also used to be a Cast Member. So, I happen to know Disney like the back of my hand. BUT I don’t live right next door to Disney. I actually live all the way in Texas. So, I only get to go to the parks every now and then. Because of that, I have to pack and prepare for a Disney trip like most of you likely have to do as well. SO, when I took my then 10 month old to Disneyland for the first time, I had so many questions and stresses. And honestly, I learned quite a few lessons the hard way. I’m here to share some of those struggles so you can avoid then when you take your little(s) to Disney! Expect the Unexpected If you’re a parent, then you obviously know that babies and children can be pretty unpredictable, especially when they are in a new place. Will they want to ride in the stroller? Who knows. Will they want to be held? Who knows. Will they want to crawl or walk around? Probably because that happens to be pretty darn stressful for us parents at Disney. Going in with the mindset that things might not go as planned and knowing that your little is going to have plans of their own is the best way to set yourself up for success! So sleepy I seriously wasn’t prepared for Emmitt, my son, to want to be down trying to explore at Disneyland as much as he did. He wasn’t walking at the time but was a very quick crawler. He also loved pulling up on things and standing as much as he could. For some reason, I thought he was going to be so chill and just would want to snuggle in the stroller and look around at all of the pretty scenery. Well, I was WRONG. Very wrong. And if you know Disney, you know there aren’t too many areas where it’s easy for a baby to crawl around. This lead to quite a bit of frustration and was something that I wish I would have planned for a bit more. He loved the castle so much! Lesson: Expect your littles to really want to get down and explore. This is all so new to them. They will want to look but they might want to touch and feel as well. What I learned: If I were to take an infant to Disney again, I’d bring a few more pairs of shoes/socks so they aren’t caught barefoot when they want to explore. I’d also bring a travel blanket or picnic blanket so there’s a nice cozy spot for them to explore. We spent a lot of time in Toon Town on the grassy area but in the mornings, the turf was really wet and Emmitt would end up soaking wet! Clean Those Hands! So, on the last day of our trip, Emmitt became really fussy. I thought he was likely just exhausted from all the go, go, go. But NOPE. When we woke up to head home the next day, we figured out that he had actually caught a really bad tummy bug that had my entire family sick for a week after we got back home. He had been touching all kinds of stuff throughout our trip, and I honestly hadn’t done the best job at making sure his paci and hands were squeaky clean. See those hands! Gotta touch it all lol The next time we go to the parks, I plan on washing my hands and Emmitt’s every time someone in our group stops for the bathroom, even if we don’t need to go. I am also going to set a few little alarms to remind me to clean his paci and to put on some hand sanitizer just to add an extra layer of caution. The days are so fast paced, so I’m hoping little alarms will really help remind me to clean his paci and will help keep those germs away! Lesson: Germs exist, even at the Happiest Place on Earth. (No duh, I know. But my baby getting sick was the last worry I had on my mind when taking him to the parks.) What I learned: Overdo it when it comes to keeping your babies hands and paci clean! You might spend a lot of time at the Baby Care Center I expected to be at the Baby Care Center every now and then but I truly felt like I lived at the Baby Care Centers on my trip. This was OK because the Baby Care Centers truly are nice but I got pretty lonely. Of course, I could have nursed and changed Emmitt elsewhere but this was just the most private and cleanest spot to do it. Also, at Disneyland, you don’t feel like you’re walking forever and ever to get the Baby Care Centers since the parks aren’t insanely huge. But if you are planning to feed and change your baby at the Baby Care Center, maybe download a few Disney movies on your phone or something. Then you can still feel connected to the magic while you’re having to step away for a bit! Baby Care Center What I didn’t realize and wanted to share for any moms that are needing to pump while in the parks is that Disney cannot store your milk. So if you are needing to keep milk cool, you’re going to need to find a way to preserve it on your own! Lesson: Bringing a baby to the parks can feel kinda of lonely. Lesson I learned: Find other ways to feel connected to the magic while you’re feeding your little. Listen to some Disney tunes or watch a Disney movie on your phone. Oh, and if you’re a pumping mama, have a plan for your milk! These are just a few of the lessons I learned about taking my little to Disney for the first time. I’m taking him to Disney World for the very first time this fall, so I can’t wait to come back to share all my takes and all the lessons I learn!

As you can imagine, the D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event dropped some massive Disney parks news and left us shook! Magic Kingdom I mean, we were all “ready” and waiting for the Horizons — Disney Experiences Showcase on August 10th, but truthfully, we weren’t ready. But instead of recapping everything that went down, we want to focus on Magic Kingdom right now as it got a LOT of announcements. We found out about projects like the new nighttime parade, Villains Land, and even Cars Land and they’re all coming to Magic Kingdom sooner than you think! Speaking of the Cars Land, once we found out about where it would be located, you could say that Disney fans are quite divided on the HUGE Frontierland overhaul that’s a coming! So, just to catch us all up to speed, Disney did officially announce where the brand-news Cars land will be located in Magic Kingdom. ©Disney Tom Sawyer Island and the Rivers of America and will be transformed into this brand-new land coming to the park. That means that Cars land will be located in Frontierland and that makes sense as Disney will, and I quote, “put our guests in the driver’s seat as we—quite literally—explore a new frontier in Frontierland.” We tried to figure out the exact location by zooming into current Magic Kingdom map and comparing it to the concept art released by Disney. We circled with a red line where we expect the new Cars area to be. Map of where the new Cars area will be As further confirmation, there is this one building near the bottom of the concept art that looks a lot like the current Liberty Square Riverboat building. Concept Art Moving right along, the new Cars Land in Magic Kingdom will include have two Cars attractions. The first one will have us racing through the mountains and along wild terrains, all while trying to dodge geysers and splashing through mud holes. Cars is coming to Magic Kingdom! ©Disney And the second attraction will be more family-friendly (more appropriate for our smaller racers). ©Disney So, as we were saying, all these announcements have DEFINITELY sparked some emotions in Disney fans and left many divided. For example, DFB reader @masenmotivates shared, “Turning Tomorrowland Speedway into a Cars themed space makes a lot more sense to me.” There is nothing exciting about this @dradisney shared the same sentiments and expanded them with, “So many problems. First: Cars theme doesn’t fit at Frontierland TIMELINE. Second: With so many land available, why not beyond Thunder Mountain? Third: why not place the cars rally at tomorrow land, where tomorrow land speed way is? Don’t tell me we will get a new brand rally attraction but speedway will still remain on TOMORROW land? Tomorrow land wasn’t suppose to bring the freshness of tomorrow? Why place race cars in a time where there were horses, wagons and nostalgia? Where is the Magic Kingdom that doesn’t mix storylines and has an underground tunnel made initially to don’t mess with the immersion? Why not place this in Hollywood Studios?” Tomorrowland Speedway @vincent_devecchis agreed with, “This is gonna ruin a thematic cohesion of the land. You’re gonna walk out of haunted mansion and boom there’s gonna be talking cars plus the river area kind of cools down the park. If it’s just cement it’s gonna get super hot.” I’m sure that is something that Disney will have to consider as that river does naturally help cool down that side of the park. Tom Sawyer Island Then @letsplayschool shared, “Super sad about what’s being replaced and taken away. Excited for the new – just wish it wasn’t taking away such classics…. ”. That’s always the unfortunate thing about projects like this — something old tends to give way for something new. Tom Sawyer Island Lastly, we have @anthonynunzioviscuse who shared, “This is horrible. Walt not only enjoyed but intended for areas of the park to be passive enjoyment. He loved the west. He loved the stories of America. Tom Sawyer island is a much needed “respite” from the crowds and stimulation of the works themselves. It’s a quiet reflection and place to spend some family time. It’s also a huge piece of living history in the Magic Kingdom. That matters. It isn’t just an add on to the Disney World experience, it IS Disney world. On a personal note, my wife and I said our vows in a cavern of Tom Sawyer island and it means so much to us to be able to take our children to a beautiful, nature filled nostalgic area that I myself grew up visiting with my father. I’m so sad about this.” Dead Man’s Grotto on Tom Sawyer Island We do know that the construction on this new land is to begin in early 2025, so if you would like to take one more trip on The Rivers of America or explore all the goodness of Tom Sawyer Island one last time, the clock is ticking! We’ll be watching for more details as this new project begins at Magic Kingdom and all the other new projects around the Disney World parks. Keep following DFB for all the latest Disney news!

As we were making our way around Magic Kingdom this morning, we spotted something mysterious… Liberty Square We want to make sure you have the most up-to-date and useful information about Disney World, so we are in the parks EVERY single day! We want to make sure you know about all the latest treats, but we are also here to give you a heads-up when something is a bit amiss. While we were in Magic Kingdom today, we noticed something a bit mysterious while we were checking out merchandise inside of Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe. Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe Walls have appeared! Yep, walls have sprouted inside of Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe! Walls were put up inside of the shop, closing off half of the store. Some of the merchandise that was located in that part of the store has been moved to other parts of the shop, while other merchandise like The Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise has been scattered around the park for now. We spoke with Cast Members inside of the store and they did not know why that part of the store was closed or how long to expect it to be walled off. We weren’t expecting to see this… Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe is a merchandise store located in Liberty Square at Magic Kingdom. Inside, you can find a large selection of ornaments, stockings, holiday decor, and more. The store has holiday cheer year-round, and also offers personalization! Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe We were definitely surprised to see a bunch of walls inside of Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe; however, this store is definitely no stranger to construction. Back in February, work was being done on one of the store’s entrances. This construction is now complete, but it looks like more work may be getting done inside of the shop. It could also be a temporary wall to clean up or fix something quickly on that side of the store. Construction going on here! If you happen to be in Magic Kingdom at night, you can also spot a special character in a window of Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe! If you look closely, you might just see the shadow of Ichabod Crane! Mr. Crane We will continue to keep an eye on Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe, and we will update you when we see more progress! You can still check out half of this store and find a huge selection of ornaments and more.

We say it all the time, and we won’t stop because it’s SO true — choosing where to eat in Disney World is BEYOND hard. Cinderella’s Royal Table First, you’ve gotta figure out what your budget for the trip is, and how much of it is allocated to dining, and THEN you need to decide what table service restaurants to book (up to 60 days before your trip begins) and what meals you’ll stop at quick service restaurants for. On the Disney World website and My Disney Experience App, you’ll find that each restaurant has a number of dollar signs that can help you get a quick picture of how much it costs. However, it’s easy to make a mistake at a select few of these restaurants, and we’re BEGGING you not to fall victim to it! There are a select few Disney World restaurants that are EXTREMELY expensive. While the Disney World website and My Disney Experience app only go up to saying “Over $60 per adult” when it shows 4 dollar signs (looking like “$$$$”), there are other restaurants that aren’t just a little over $60 like Cinderella’s Royal Table or Be Our Guest Restaurant (which are still expensive, but are at $69-$84 per adult and $70 per adult, respectively). No, there are other restaurants on property that cost HUNDREDS of dollars per adult. Be Our Guest Takumi-Tei, located in EPCOT’s Japan Pavilion, is one of these. While upon first glance you’ll see that the restaurant has 4 dollar signs and says over $60 per adult, just like all other Disney World restaurants listed on the website and app, you need to click ON the menu to see what the actual price is. And if you don’t? Well, unfortunately, it seems many people have booked a reservation here and been VERY unpleasantly surprised by their bill. Takumi-Tei Instead of clicking on the menu and seeing that Takumi-Tei is $250 PER ADULT (and starts at $100 per child), guests have apparently been assuming the meal will be closer to $60 due to the Disney World app and website not having an option above the listing. In a recent email we were sent by the restaurant, they wrote at the bottom, “sorry about confusion over the price, Disney website will only go up to “over $60.'” The Sushi Platter YIKES. We can only imagine how many times this mistake has been made by guests in the park to warrant Takumi-Tei sending out an email partly regarding their pricing. That’s why it’s SO important to do all your research on the Disney World restaurants you’re looking at dining at and remembering that “OVER $60” could really mean ANY price above $60. By just taking one extra step and clicking on the menu to see what’s offered, you’ll also see the exact price per person. Takumi-Tei Additionally, we feel it’s important to mention that Takumi-Tei’s plant-based meal option USED to be cheaper than the traditional $250 per adult, however that has since changed. Now, the plant-based option is the exact same price as the non-plant-based menus. Takumi-Tei also verified with guests that they do not participate in the Disney Dining Plan, and as of September 1st, 2024, Annual Pass and DVC discounts will not longer be valid. Takumi-Tei offers one of the best dining experiences anywhere on Disney World property, but it’s important to know that you are paying up for this meal — and you’ll need to budget correctly for it! With DOZENS of places to eat at Disney World, we know it can be tough to plan your meals. That’s why we wrote the DFB Guide to Dining at Walt Disney World.

Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando! Recently, an interesting pattern of wait times has developed, and we need to discuss it. It’s Halloween in Disney World! Disney World is now officially celebrating the Halloween season in Magic Kingdom. A new skip-the-line Genie+ replacement called Lighting Lane Multi Pass is now in effect. So, with these factors in mind, what are the average wait times looking like in Disney World for the first week of August? Let’s take a look! Take a look at this week’s average wait times! Magic Kingdom Wait Times The Magic Kingdom had a pretty great week — the average wait times ALL stayed under 60 minutes. What does that tell us? Well, for one thing, it seems like the Magic Kingdom isn’t too crowded, or the new Lightning Lane system is doing a pretty good job at keeping those wait times evenly distributed. Either way, spending a day in Magic Kingdom right about now is the way to go! (REMINDER: Tron Lightcycle / Run does not currently use a standby queue; it’s not included here, and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure does not have a standby queue yet.) Spooky Space Mountain Seven Dwarfs Mine Train — 56 minutes Space Mountain — 43 minutes Jungle Cruise — 38 minutes Big Thunder Mountain Railroad — 32 minutes Haunted Mansion — 32 minutes Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh — 32 minutes Pirates of the Caribbean Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin — 25 minutes Astro Orbiter — 26 minutes Enchanted Tales with Belle — 21 minutes Tomorrowland Speedway — 19 minutes Pirates of the Caribbean — 19 minutes “it’s a small world” — 17 minutes Barnstormer featuring the Great Goofini — 15 minutes Dumbo Dumbo the Flying Elephant — 11 minutes Mickey’s PhilharMagic — 19 minutes Country Bear Musical Jamboree — 0 minutes Liberty Square Riverboat — 12 minutes Magic Carpets of Aladdin — 10 minutes Mad Tea Party — 9 minutes Carousel of Progress Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover — 9 minutes Prince Charming Regal Carrousel — 7 minutes Tom Sawyer Island — 6 minutes Carousel of Progress — 5 minutes Enchanted Tiki Room — 10 minutes Hall of Presidents — 4 minutes Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse — 4 minutes NEWS: A Classic Magic Kingdom Ride Is Reopening EARLY EPCOT Wait Times EPCOT continued the trend that started in Magic Kingdom, with all of its average waits under an hour. Even the largely popular Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure attraction only saw a 57-minute average wait. Not bad at all! (NOTE: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind does not currently use a standby queue, so it’s not included here.) Mission Space Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure — 57 minutes Frozen Ever After — 48 minutes Soarin’ — 29 minutes Mission: SPACE — 19 minutes EPCOT Turtle Talk with Crush — 15 minutes Spaceship Earth — 13 minutes The Seas with Nemo and Friends — 12 minutes Journey into Imagination — 10 minutes Gran Fiesta Tour — 8 minutes Living with the Land — 10 minutes Test Track, Awesome Planet, Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along, Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival, Impressions de France, and Reflections of China had no wait times this week. The Perfect Escape From EPCOT Doesn’t Exi… Animal Kingdom Wait Times Animal Kingdom’s Flight of Passage holds the record for the highest average wait time in all of Disney World this week. You’ll probably sit with strangers on Kali River Rapids Avatar Flight of Passage — 85 minutes Na’vi River Journey — 54 minutes Kali River Rapids — 48 minutes Expedition Everest — 36 minutes TriceraTop Spin Kilimanjaro Safaris — 33 minutes Dinosaur — 25 minutes It’s Tough to Be a Bug — 10 minutes TriceraTop Spin — 5 minutes The Boneyard — 0 minutes 50 AMAZING Things You Never Knew Were in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Hollywood Studios Wait Times Hollywood Studios reported some pretty high average wait times, too, with Slinky Dog Dash, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, Rise of the Resistance, and Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run all sitting at nearly a 60-minute average wait. Rise of the Resistance Slinky Dog Dash — 67 minutes Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster — 59 minutes Rise of the Resistance — 54 minutes Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run — 50 minutes Tower of Terror Tower of Terror — 45 minutes Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway — 47 minutes Toy Story Mania — 42 minutes Alien Swirling Saucers — 26 minutes Kermit!

Attention, Disney dads! If you’re planning to visit Disney World soon, you might want to take a hard look at your closet and decide if you’ve got the right shoes for the job.

When it comes to food, things are changing ALL the time in Disneyland. Goofy’s Kitchen A TON of new Halloween treats will be arriving in the parks, at Downtown Disney, and hotel restaurants soon. Several new restaurants have opened recently in Downtown Disney. We just got an opening timeline for yet ANOTHER new restaurant coming to Downtown Disney. We also learned about a fun Halloween character dining experience coming soon at Goofy’s Kitchen, but we’ve got a word of warning: the price of that dining experience has gone up. Character dining at Goofy’s Kitchen at the Disneyland Hotel used to be $55 per adult and $33 per child (3-9) for breakfast and $64 per adult and $36 per child for lunch and dinner. As of August 23rd, that price will be $65 per adult and $36 per child for breakfast and $75 per adult and $39 per child for lunch and dinner. Goofy’s Kitchen spread This price increase starts just as the new Halloween dining experience at Goofy’s Kitchen begins. This experience starts on August 23rd and runs through October 31st. During that time, characters will appear in their Halloween costumes, and special seasonal offerings will be available on the buffet, like prosciutto and arugula eggs benedict with sun-dried tomato hollandaise and orange Mickey waffles for breakfast and cheese ravioli with pumpkin cream sauce and BBQ pork spare ribs for dinner. Pluto at Goofy’s Kitchen We’re not sure if this price increase is permanent or if Disney just implemented it for the Halloween dining experience, but if something changes, we’ll be keeping an eye out for it. Reservations are open now for the Halloween character dining experience at Goofy’s Kitchen, so if you’re interested, make that booking now! Goofy’s Kitchen Meanwhile, Storytellers Cafe at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel is also having a fall character dining experience for breakfasts this Halloween season, so if you can’t grab reservations at Goofy’s Kitchen, that could be a good backup. Those reservations are also open. Stay tuned to DFB for more. Disneyland Is Getting 6 New Rides! Want to Learn More About Disneyland? Check Out the Links Below!

Okay, is it just us, or is it always the TV shows you’re JUST getting into suddenly get canceled? ©Amazon We’ve had some pretty surprising cancelations recently. For example, the entertaining Renegade Nell was canceled on Disney+ after just one season (which is a SHAME, y’all). We recently learned that the seventh season of The Good Doctor will be its last. Well, another show that we THOUGHT was super popular just got the axe — and we’re not entirely happy about it. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Amazon has canceled My Lady Jane after just one season. The period drama was set to become the next Bridgerton…but with a fantasy twist. The show is based on a novel by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows and offers an alternate world and fantasy retelling of the saga of England’s Lady Jane Grey, who was VERY briefly the Queen of England. ©Amazon The story begins by introducing Lady Jane (Emily Bader) as a headstrong, smart young woman who wants to do anything but get married but somehow ends up getting married anyway and then goes on to become Queen of England. Set in 16th-century England, the series also introduces shapeshifters called Ethians, who can take the form of people or animals. Jane sympathizes with Ethians, which causes problems once she rises to power. ©Amazon The series was set up to be Amazon’s period drama answer to Bridgerton and received mostly favorable reviews. However, it seems viewers didn’t catch on to the show: it didn’t break into Nielsen’s top 10 streaming charts a month after its release. ©Amazon Of course, this could highlight a big problem with new shows on streaming services: viewers often feel burned by these cancelations and won’t commit to a series unless it has more than one season. This results in shows getting canceled before they have a chance to hit their stride. So, as they say, another one bites the dust. Stay tuned to DFB for more.
