We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: not all Disney World restaurants are created equally. Some are worth singing about from the rooftops, while others are more of a one-and-done. Planet Hollywood This brings us to Planet Hollywood at Disney Springs — a restaurant we find generally so upsetting, that even the Terminator himself couldn’t save it (okay, that might be dramatic — but you get it). While there are some redeemable dishes on the menu at this spot, the most recent meal we tried certainly wasn’t one of them. Located in Downtown Disney’s West Side, Planet Hollywood is a three-tiered observatory full of dining. And, while it’s certainly not our favorite restaurant at Disney Springs, there is a large menu with a wide variety of options that will likely please even the pickiest of eaters. We recently stopped by and grabbed the Bird is the Word chicken sandwich for $18.99 and are bringing you our thoughts! Planet Hollywood Menu This sandwich is made with a crispy fried all-natural chicken breast, buttermilk ranch dressing, pickles, cheddar, slaw & honey hot sauce on a brioche bun served with seasoned fries. This sounds like a pretty classic — and delicious — chicken sandwich, so what could go wrong? Bird is the Word sandwich This was… not good. The chicken was not seasoned and the sandwich itself lacked flavor overall. Not only that, but the selling point for us, which was the hot honey sauce, was not even hot honey. It tasted and looked and smelled exactly like buffalo sauce (OUTRAGEOUS). Very disappointing. We did like the one pickle spear the sandwich was served with, but for $18.99, we don’t think this sandwich is worth getting again. Not our favorite We’ve had better chicken sandwiches at Disney World — and even at Disney Springs! If you’re after a really delicious chicken sandwich, you’ll want to head to Chicken Guy! instead. We also really enjoy the fried chicken sandwiches from Connections Eatery at EPCOT. This just goes to show that there are plenty of good eats in Disney World — as long as you know where to look!

Disney’s iconic Napa Rose restaurant, which is located at the Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and serves “refined California cuisine,” is set to get a makeover! Napa Rose at the Grand Californian Hotel Disney dropped a TON of announcements about some upcoming changes at its hotels, and we’re expecting some fun new dining options along with a whole new look to this space. An official closing date for this renovation has not yet been revealed, but we think we may have spotted a hint on the Disneyland calendar! Soon, Napa Rose will temporarily close while Disney updates the restaurant — we just don’t officially know when yet. Disney revealed that Napa Rose will be remodeled with a new interior and patio, and based on what we recently spotted on the Disneyland website, it could be closing as soon as April 5th! ©Disney We spotted this update on the calendar listing for Napa Rose, which appears to show no availability beginning on April 5th, and continuing as far as the calendar goes out, which is 60 days. Disney has still not made an official announcement about when exactly Napa Rose will close, but this might be a pretty safe bet. Of course, we’ll let you know once things have been confirmed by Disney. ©Disney Disney previously explained that the restaurant “will have a rustic elegance and will be a tapestry of California’s storied history of wine and winemaking, using natural textures such as reclaimed French oak flooring and columns (a type of wood used to make wine barrels), hand-pinged artisan metals, leathers, deep colors of cabernet, and an eye-catching chandelier inspired by California’s Mission grapevines.” Napa Rose Dining Room Imagineers will expand the counters where guests can watch the action at the restaurant’s exhibition kitchen. Additionally, the patio will be updated to add more seating, and two new fireplaces will be installed. That way, you can dine outside even when it’s a little chilly out! How cute! The restaurant is expected to reopen in fall 2025. Look out for a new menu, too! Luckily, Disney confirmed Napa Rose will still serve fan favorites like the Smiling Tiger Salad and will still offer an impressive wine collection of more than 1,500 labels. Smiling Tiger Salad Disney also noted, “To make way for these enhancements, there will be temporary updates to dining offerings at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa.” In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more.

If you are headed to Disney World for a longer trip or want to save some money on food, ordering grocery delivery to your Disney World resort is a great idea! Kroger Delivery! Don’t end up paying high prices in the small grocery section at your Disney World resort gift shop; instead, utilize Kroger’s Grocery Delivery! Kroger has tons of experience in delivery to Disney World resorts, so you can trust that your groceries will be delivered safely! Although we love this service, there is one problem that you may run into on the last day of your trip. Ordering groceries through Kroger Grocery Delivery is super convenient, especially if you don’t have your own car to shop off-property. We especially like ordering easy, on-the-go breakfast foods for early morning rope drop days. We like to have snacks for late-night cravings and even order water bottles and soda to have in our room. Groceries Step-by-Step Guide to Ordering Kroger Grocery Delivery to Disney World You can get all of this and more conveniently delivered right to your resort, and you can watch your delivery process through the Kroger app. Don’t worry if you can’t be there right as your groceries are delivered. They can be held at your hotel’s front desk or Bell Services desk for a small additional fee. Kroger Delivery Sounds easy enough, right? Well, while you are enjoying your Disney World vacation, you may end up wanting to eat more in the parks and try all the delicious snacks around the property. Don’t worry; we totally get it; we love Disney food here at the Disney Food Blog! The problem is that toward the end of your trip, you may notice you have a ton of groceries to get through, which is totally normal! This happens all the time! Kroger Delivery Rather than worry about what to do with all your leftover groceries as the clock ticks to 11 AM on your checkout day, plan ahead before you order your groceries. Think about all your dining reservations, your park days, and how much time you will spend away from your room. Kroger Delivery Those staying at a Disney Vacation Club Villa may get more use out of their groceries as some rooms have a full kitchen. Just make a game plan of what will work best for you and your party, and think about a realistic amount of groceries that you will go through beforehand to avoid leftovers on your checkout day. Kitchen at Copper Creek Kroger Delivery is a great tool and super helpful while you are on vacation, so the next time you visit Disney World, make sure to download the Kroger app before you arrive and make a game plan for what groceries you need to order. And if you have unopened snacks you can’t take home with you, maybe you can find a family still at the resort who would appreciate them!

All the Single Riders, all the Single Riders, all the Single Riders, now put your hands UP! Single Rider lines can save you the wait! Okay, sorry, I literally couldn’t help myself. ANYWAY, if you’re a fan of using the Single Rider lines to beat the standby lines at Disney World rides, we’ve got an exciting update to share. Disney has officially added Single Rider options and information to the My Disney Experience app! Disney World has officially added Single Rider information to in-park wait time boards and the My Disney Experience app! Information about Single Rider lines was previously available in the app, but now it’s listed — along with a new logo — on individual rides depending on when the Single Rider line is available. ©Disney As of now, six Disney World rides use the Single Rider line, and just because it’s an option sometimes doesn’t mean it’s always available. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster (Hollywood Studios), Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run (Hollywood Studios), Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance (Hollywood Studios), Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure (Epcot), Soarin’ (Epcot), and Expedition Everest (Animal Kingdom) all have Single Rider line options. ©Disney When we were playing around in the app this morning, we spotted Single Rider options for Expedition Everest and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster… ©Disney …Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run… ©Disney …and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure. Keep in mind that the Single Rider line may not always be available — Disney will open or close the Single Rider option at various rides depending on demand and availability. Your best bet is to check the My Disney Experience app or the wait time boards located throughout the parks for the most up-to-date information. ©Disney In the meantime, we’ll be on the lookout for more updates on Single Rider lines and the My Disney Experience app. Make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for the latest Disney news and more!

Epic Universe opens on May 22nd, 2025, and we couldn’t be more excited! ©Universal We’ve already gotten a sneak peek inside the park and we have so many thoughts! There is so much to see and do and it seems like we aren’t the only one with things to say about the brand-new Universal theme park. Let’s break down what the internet is saying about how they plan on getting into the park before it’s open. Epic Universe recently began Team Member previews for the park! Team Members, what Universal calls their employees, have been able to test the park for the last few weeks but they can’t take any photo or video inside just yet. For those of us on the outside looking in, we are hearing lots of thoughts but still waiting to see what it all looks like (which is what we really want!) ©Universal It seems we aren’t the only ones itching to get inside the park though! Over on Facebook inside a Universal Annual Passholder group, someone posed the question “How do you get into Epic before it opens?” The responses couldn’t be better! Starting off, one user suggested needing “The cow white as milk, the cape as red as blood, the hair as yellow as corn, and the slipper as pure as gold.” Is anyone else as obsessed with this Into the Woods reference as we are? ©Universal Another comment suggested we just have to say pretty please! Technically, we haven’t tried that just yet so may be worth a shot. One suggestion said we need to find the right wrap pipe and we’ll pop up in Super Nintendo World! ©bioreconstruct Trust us when we say we’re still searching for the right wrap pipe! One real way to get in without being a Team Member is to consider marrying a Team Member. Is a lifelong commitment worth one day in the theme park a bit early? Maybe! It’s how our lovely reporter was able to check out the park early (she was really playing the long game with this one!) ©Universal One user suggested a simple airdrop from a helicopter and we appreciate the dedication. Make sure to pack your parachute if you’re going to attempt this. (Don’t actually attempt this.) ©Universal A few of the group members posed teleporting as an option. If anyone knows how to do that, let us know! Finally, you could try a few ways that are themed to some of the lands. Grab your floor powder for The Wizarding World, hop on a Dragon for the Isle of Berk, or grab a power-up mushroom for Super Nintendo World. ©Universal In all seriousness, the park opens on May 22nd for the general public and we are eagerly awaiting our chance to head back inside the park. The new park features 5 new lands, tons of new rides, and so many snacks we can’t keep count. Tickets are on sale now! As always, make sure you stay tuned into DFB for all of your Universal news and updates. Everything We Know About Epic Universe Here!

The one thing we don’t want you to do is waste your time in Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom can be a LOT to plan for. That’s because there’s just so much to do in that park, especially when compared to Disney World’s other three parks. Magic Kingdom Magic Kingdom also has the most rides, so you really have to prioritize and plan your day carefully to make sure you ride everything you want to. So here’s the thing…some rides in Magic Kingdom are 100% worth your time. However, others might be skippable (especially if they’re not your priority). Now, we’re not trying to tell you what you should and should not ride, but we can give you an idea of what you can skip and what you could ride instead to save you time and, possibly, money. Skip TRON Lightcycle / Run Okay, so TRON Lightcycle / Run is the ride with the highest wait times in Disney World. Even at rope drop, you’ll be waiting at LEAST an hour just to ride what is essentially a pretty short ride. During other times of the day, we’ve seen multi-hour waits for this ride. TRON also still has that “newness” to it, so demand for it is high. Now, you can pay extra for Lightning Lane Single Pass to bypass the long standby lines for the lightning lane, or you can ride something else instead. You don’t have to ride TRON Lightcycle / Run to enjoy Disney World If we had a choice, we’d just hop on over to Space Mountain and ride that instead. Is it the same? No, not really? But the vibes are similar and you’re bound to wait in a shorter line over at Space Mountain. Plus, if you have Lightning Lane Multi Pass, Space Mountain is included with that so you could even get a shorter wait. NOBODY Expected This To Happen on TRON in Magic Kingdom Skip Dumbo We get it. Your kids are going to want to ride Dumbo. It’s iconic. It’s a flying ride that goes up and down and around in circles. It was MADE with kids in mind. Well, guess what? Everyone else’s kid ALSO wants to ride Dumbo, so you can often encounter long lines there. SKIP IT. Dumbo Why? Well, Aladdin’s Magic Carpets in Adventureland is the EXACT same ride — the only difference is the theme. Instead of riding on an elephant, you’re riding on a Magic Carpet. Kids will enjoy it the same PLUS the lines here tend to be shorter. 7 Rides Disney World Pros SKIP in Magic Kingdom Skip The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Okay, let’s talk dark rides. You will often find some long lines at The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh in Fantasyland. Yes, Pooh is always going to be popular with visitors, so this ride will be popular, too. Now, if the line is short, go for it, ride it. But if it’s a long line, walk away… The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh …and visit Under The Sea — Journey of the Little Mermaid instead. This ride tends to load faster, meaning the line generally moves faster. Both rides are so similar in experience, although their stories are different. But it’s a great alternative if the Pooh ride has a longer line. It’s Rare That Anything Shocks Me Anymore, but This Magic Kingdom Ride Revelation Was Upsetting Skip “it’s a small world” OR Pirates of the Caribbean Okay, not everyone loves “it’s a small world” to begin with, but if lines are long, then just leave Fantasyland and head on over to Pirates of the Caribbean in Adventureland (personal opinion, but Pirates IS the better ride). Okay, so both of these rides have their charms, so you might want to try to fit BOTH of them in. Pirates of the Caribbean However, if your time is limited and you have to choose, go for the one with the shorter line. Or Pirates of the Caribbean (which is what we’d always do). We’re WORRIED About Magic Kingdom Lightning Lane Rules in Disney World So here’s the thing, rides with long lines just might not be worth your time, especially if you only have a day in Magic Kingdom. You might do better to visit other rides with shorter wait times so that you can do more in the limited time that you’ve got in the park. If you must ride the more popular rides, you’ll want to consider purchasing Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass.

Heads up Disney streaming service subscribers! A couple of long in-the-works rule changes are being fully enforced today, March 24th, across Disney’s streaming platforms, including Disney+ and Hulu. ©Disney These changes to the terms of service have actually been live for new subscribers since January 27th, and legacy subscribers have had the option to opt into them through a pop-up window since then. If they didn’t, the changes automatically take effect today, March 24th. These terms of service changes reflect several things: First off, it includes new language on Disney’s recently added Pause feature for their streaming services, which allows subscribers to “pause” their subscription for a determined amount of time. According to Disney, the pause will “effect on the first day of your next billing period, and you can continue streaming until then. Once the pause begins, you will not be charged and you will not have access to any content until the pause ends.” When the pre-selected un-pause date is reached, the account will reactivate and a new billing cycle will begin. An account can also be reactivated early through an action on the user’s Disney+ account page. ©Marvel Beyond the pause feature, the second major clarification is regarding ads. According to the new Terms of Service, due to the increase in the breadth and depth of the content available on Disney’s streamers, “circumstances may require that certain titles and types of content include ads, even in our ‘no ads’ or ‘ad free’ subscription.” Finally, there are a few smaller, housekeeping-style changes as well: The update adds Hulu’s Terms of Service to the Disney+ page, according to Disney “so that the terms of use for each of our streaming services and bundles are all in one place. “If you don’t have a Hulu subscription, some of these terms may not be relevant to you.” In addition, future notices may come in a “single, combined email” whether someone subscribes to Disney+, ESPN+, Hulu or some combination of the three. A clarification that the same arbitration agreements apply to Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu. A reminder that Disney isn’t “responsible for the content or practices of any websites or destinations outside of the Disney+, ESPN+, or Hulu sites, or for third-party ads, materials, products, or services, which may be governed by third-party terms of use.” ©Hulu These new changes to Disney+’s terms of service have been in effect for new subscribers since January, and are now in effect across the board for all subscribers.

When Disney World opened after the COVID-19 pandemic closed its doors, specific offerings were not available upon its phased reopening. We miss room service breakfast. Almost five years later, a majority of things around the resort have gone back to normal. There are a few outliers in this as two out of the three Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutiques have still yet to reopen. The same can be said about certain hotel amenities, like room service, but we just found a hack that can help you get a customized type of room service at your Disney World resort! Prior to the resort-wide closure in 2020, room service, otherwise known as in-room dining, was available to Disney World resort guests. However, when the resort reopened four months later, room service did not return to all the hotels as there were safety concerns for both guests and Cast Members. In-Room Dining at the Grand Floridian Here we are, almost five years later, and the only resort offering room service is the Grand Floridian Resort. The Grand Floridian is a Deluxe Resort, but none of the other Deluxe Resorts currently offer this service. This can be a real bummer, especially after a long day in the parks. If you want food delivered to your room, you can actually use the app DoorDash! You can choose from an array of restaurants, giving you more variety in what food you can order. That’s right — lots of folks don’t realize that even when you are in the Disney World bubble, you can order from Door Dash and get delivery to your hotel. Each Disney World hotel has different ways of allowing non-resort guests into the hotel gate, so it is a good idea to call your resort’s front desk to talk to a Cast Member to find out what the best instructions to give your delivery driver are. 8 Disney World Hotels That Will ALWAYS Crack Down on the Parking Rules ©Doordash Sometimes, you will be asked to meet your delivery driver outside the entrance, in the lobby, or at Bell Services. The best practice might change throughout the day, so it is always a good idea to check before placing your order. For privacy purposes, we would recommend meeting your driver in a common area rather than at your room. Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Lobby If you would rather order food directly from Disney, you can utilize Mobile Order in the My Disney Experience app and pick up your food to take it directly back to your room to enjoy. However, sometimes Disney World’s restaurants close earlier, so if you are looking to satisfy a late-night craving, DoorDash is a great option! Mobile Order Pick-up in Everything Pop We have not heard any news about room service returning, which is shocking since this is a typical resort benefit at resorts off-property. As always, we will keep an eye out for any news about room service changes, so make sure to continue to follow along with us here at the Disney Food Blog!

Spring at EPCOT is iconic. The sun is shining, the topiaries are in full bloom, and the Flower & Garden Festival is in full swing. Moana, Maui, HeiHei, and Pua Topiaries But there’s one tiny problem that could potentially throw a wrench in your perfect festival day… and it’s not the crowds or hitting the balance of your Disney gift card. Planning a Disney World vacation? Let our friends over at Small World Vacations help you make it as magical as can be! So what’s the potential problem? Well, we have one word for you: pollen. Lady and the Tramp Topiaries Yup, while the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival is basically a botanical dream come true, for anyone with seasonal allergies, it’s also a floral battlefield. All those gorgeous topiaries and bright blooms? They’re basically launching a full-scale attack on your sinuses. One minute, you’re snapping a picture of that stunning Figment topiary, and the next, you’re sneezing so hard you nearly drop your Toasted Pretzel Bread. Figment Topiaries So, what’s the solution? First things first — don’t forget to take your allergy medicine before you hit the park! Pop that antihistamine like you’re securing a last-minute Lightning Lane for Frozen Ever After. Trust us, your nose will thank you. Also, keep some tissues handy. You never know when a sneeze will creep up and surprise you. Phineas and Ferb Topiaries And if you start feeling the pollen overload mid-day, duck into one of EPCOT’s indoor pavilions (like The Land or the Seas) to give your sinuses a much-needed break. Another great place to sneak away and deal with the sniffles is the restrooms. Our top picks for a quick escape? The bathrooms inside the American Adventure Pavilion, the ones tucked behind Journey into Imagination with Figment, and the halfway point restrooms at Journey of Water — perfect for a little extra privacy! Imagination Pavilion Now we’re not saying you need to gear up like you’re heading into a pollen storm, but a little preparation can go a long way in keeping the sneezes at bay. So pack your allergy meds, grab some tissues, and get ready to smell the roses (without the sniffles). EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival is in full bloom from now until June 2, 2025, so be prepared to enjoy all the flowers and all the flavors!

Okay, so we have our favorite Disney World restaurants, and we often talk about them. We’ll forever sing the praises of Homecomin‘ and Wine Bar George, and we’ll tell you how underrated we think Skipper Canteen and eet by Maneet Chauhan are if you ask. Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground closed for Hurricane Milton However, we also let you know when a restaurant just isn’t…well, all that. Now, we’ve had some disappointing meals in Disney World before, but what we just had recently left us feeling outright upset. So we’re going to warn you about this restaurant so you don’t make the mistake we made by eating there. This most recent dining “experience” took us to Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. We stopped by the Meadow Snack Bar, which is a quick-service spot at the Meadow Swimmin’ Pool. Meadow Snack Bar The menu here is pretty simple with hotdogs, salads, sandwiches, and snacks, but we picked up a meal that sounded promising, the Chicken Sandwich with Blueberry Barbecue Sauce and Kale Slaw for $11.79. It’s served with chips. First up, the blueberry was non-existent for us — we couldn’t taste it AT ALL. But that’s not all we didn’t taste. This chicken was BLAND and lacked any kind of seasoning. Also, the sandwich was served COLD? Chicken Sandwich The kale was fresh and crunchy, but again, there was just no flavor to this sandwich at all. And that made us sad because there was a huge potential with that blueberry barbecue sauce — it should’ve had a whole sweet and savory thing going on. Anyway, to quote our reporter, “It was very disappointing, and I was upset.” It was disappointing Okay, so that’s strike one against this snack spot. However, we had better luck with the Banana Pudding for $5.79. It’s tasty, and although we were concerned it was pre-packaged, it tasted homemade. There were layers of soggy vanilla wafers (soggy in that good way you like in a banana pudding, though) and whipped cream. Banana pudding It tasted fresh and was really good. However, we wouldn’t make the trek out to Fort Wilderness just to get it. But if you find yourself here, that’s a solid bet (just skip the sandwich). Stay tuned to DFB for more reviews.

Disney World has it all. DOLE Whip. Baby tigers. Roller coasters. Oh, and some of the sweetest manatees you have ever seen. If you’re a sucker for gentle giants like us, prepare to say, “AWWWW.” We see a manatee; we fall in love Disney just announced that a NEW addition has joined The Seas with Nemo and Friends in EPCOT. OK, so see that manatee pictured above? Notice the tail? That’s what a manatee’s tail should look like. But the sweet new friend that just arrived in EPCOT? Well, her tail is a little different. Her name is Mermaid, and you’ll soon see why. A new manatee named Mermaid just arrived at Seas Pavilion on March 19th. During our visit, we spoke to a Cast Member who told us all about our new manatee friend. Mermaid was rescued north of Tampa from the Homosassa River last month. She was found in an “emaciated state,” so it’s up to Disney’s team to rehabilitate her over the next few months. Mermaid’s tail was injured If you look closely, you’ll notice that Mermaid’s tail is split. A Cast Member told us this was likely cut due to contact with a boat propeller (but it’s hard to be certain what happened!). Via @drmarkatdisney Over on Instagram, one of Disney’s animal care experts, @drmarkatdisney, shared a little more information about Mermaid. She weighs approximately 525 pounds, but like we said, she needs to gain weight and strength before she is released to the wild. Dr. Mark said, “This partnership and the care Mermaid will receive at The Seas is the next stop on her journey as she prepares for her eventual return to the wild.” Eat ALL the lettuce! In the past, you may have met some other manatees in EPCOT, including Lil Joe and Inigo! Earlier this year, they were relocated to the Gulfarium in the Destin-Fort Walton Beach area. Lil Joe and Inigo Disney is constantly working with experts to address the manatee crisis in Florida. Thanks to habitat loss, the effects of red tide, and watercraft accidents, manatees face a variety of threats in the wild, and hundreds are dying due to these challenges. In fact, manatees are federally protected under the Endangered Species Act. Protect these gentle giants! PLEASE go visit the manatees in EPCOT — they are so fun to watch, and the Cast Members are super knowledgable! And if you see Mermaid, tell her Disney Food Blog said hi! We love her.

There is almost always something going on with The Walt Disney Company! ©The Walt Disney Company Right now they are working on Disneyland’s 70th anniversary celebrations, major overhauls at Magic Kingdom, and more! It can be a lot to keep to keep up with so we’re doing a round-up of the 3 biggest new stories from this week right here. When it comes to Disney news, some weeks are bigger than others! This week falls into that “big week” category! Disney’s most recent Shareholder Meeting was March 20th, 2025 and it brought up two of the most exciting updates this week. The first is the major announcement that Coco 2 is finally in the works! ©Disney Disney didn’t release any of the plot details but they did confirm that the first movie’s team will be reunited including director Lee Unkrich and co-director Adrian Molina with Mark Nielsen producing. Initially, Disney shared that the movie wouldn’t be released until 2029, however, that language has since been removed from all press releases and posts. ©Disney Disney also has plans for a Coco attraction in Disney California Adventure and they included a Coco restaurant on the brand-new Disney Cruise Line ship, the Disney Treasure. While we do think the new ride will open before the movie comes out, we’re hoping we’ll get more movie news sooner rather than later! Read everything we know about Coco 2 here! The second major announcement to come out of the shareholder meeting was we finally got a new sneak peek at the new Lion King attraction! ©Disney This new attraction is coming to Disneyland Paris and is expected to open in 2026! The attraction was first announced at D23 in 2024. We got a glimpse at the model for the ride during the meeting and it has us pretty excited. The ride will take guests on Simba’s journey from the film going from lion cub to king! ©Disney The ride seems to be a long flume ride similar to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and Splash Mountain but Disney has yet to officially confirm. We’re eager to see how this attraction comes to life before it opens next year. Learn more about the new attraction! Finally, this week we said goodbye to It’s Tough To Be A Bug In Disney World. This show took place inside the Tree of Life at Animal Kingdom and was an opening-day attraction. Bye, Flik! The show was inspired by the film Bug’s Life and it followed Flik and his bug friends as they taught us just how hard it is to be a bug. The show was closed to make way for the brand new show called Zootopia: Better Zoogether. The show will follow Nick Wilde and Juddy Hopps as they take you through different biomes seen in the film Zootopia! ©Disney Disney already has removed the signage for It’s Tough To Be A Bug, taken the show off the Animal Kingdom park map, and filed permits for changes to the theater. While we’re excited about the change, we will mourn Flik and his friends! Learn more about Zootopia: Better Zoogether here! We also want to give a small shoutout to the Figment news from this week as well. During the shareholder meeting, Disney CEO Bob Iger shared that he is asking creative teams at Disney for more short form content of EPCOT’s purple dragon which we think is hilarious and exciting.

Okay, some Disney snacks are just CLASSICS and you have to get them every single trip. We’re talking about those salty Mickey Pretzels (yes, with plastic CHHHHEEEESEEE) and Corn Dug Nuggets (aka Mini Corn Dogs) from Casey’s Corner in Magic Kingdom. Mickey Pretzel However, the most ICONIC classic Disney World snack just might be the Pineapple DOLE Whip. Now, you can pick up DOLE Whip in several spots throughout Disney World, but now you can get DOLE Whip at an unexpected spot: at Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort. Yep, DOLE Whip is officially available at Disney’s All-Star Resorts! So here’s the deal. We keep an eye out for menu changes in Disney World and noticed a menu update for World Premiere Food Court at Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort. We learned that Soft-serve Cups or Cones were now available at the food court, with flavor choices being Vanilla, Chocolate, Vanilla/Chocolate Swirl, Pineapple, and Vanilla/Pineapple Swirl. Yes, PINEAPPLE. So we had to investigate. World Premiere Food Court Well, there it was on the menu: Soft-Serve in a Cup, with pineapple as one option. Now, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s DOLE Whip, right? Menu at World Premiere Food Court So we asked a Cast Member, who confirmed that YES, the Pineapple Soft-Serve is Dole Whip, meaning you can now grab a Dole Whip from the comfort of your own hotel if you’re staying at All-Star Movies. How COOL (literally) is that? So there’s yet ANOTHER spot outside of Magic Kingdom where you can grab a Dole Whip. SCORE. Note that you can also get it as a swirl with vanilla, which also sounds YUM. DOLE Whip! Stay tuned to DFB for more. WE KNOW – there are SO many great snacks at Disney World! How do you choose (we don’t want to choose but will blow our budget on Day 1 otherwise)?

Whew — it’s a lot keeping up with all the changes in Disney World these days. We’ve got entire lands closing to make way for new lands, rides getting re-themes, the Muppets taking over a roller coaster and the land we’ve all dreamed of — Villains Land — is finally on the way. Swan and Dolphin Something big is changing over at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, too. As we previously confirmed, the Picabu dining spot has permanently closed to make way for something new — a gaming room called Lagoon Games, Lanes & Eats. Now we’re going to break down everything we know about this new gaming space. Like we said, the new gaming space is called Lagoon Games, Lanes & Eats. As the name suggests, this will be a gaming room with a ton of arcade games. This will include interactive gaming, as well as “thrilling new releases to timeless classics” (okay, we need Galaga and Pac-Man!). The Swan and Dolphin promises “a dynamic, immersive experience for all ages.” We also have concept art of the new space, which features some areas to lounge on couches, as well as a slew of arcade machines and an air hockey table. We also spot a claw machine (although we doubt there are little green aliens in there to capture). You can also see some racing games in the art. ©Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin However, what makes this space even MORE unique is that it will also have some mini bowling lanes. The concept art includes four lanes. ©Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin But that’s not all because, most importantly, you’ll be able to grab some eats here, too. Lagoon’s “exclusive dining space” will offer food and drinks with a menu “designed to satisfy every palate.” There will also be gourmet snacks, as well as “mouthwatering meals.” An overview of the space shows just where everything will be located. The entrance to the space will open up into an arcade — when you walk through that, you’ll then be in a larger arcade with the bowling lanes. It doesn’t look like there will be a lot of seating inside, though, just the couches we previously mentioned. ©Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin We don’t have an opening date for Lagoon Games, but we’ll be keeping an eye out for it and will let you know, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

Universal Orlando has changed a LOT over the years, but do you know who actually owns it? Universal Orlando While it might not be as complicated as Disney’s web of acquisitions, Universal Orlando has gone through some ownership shifts since it first opened in 1990. It started as a joint venture, but today, there’s only one company in charge. Let’s break down the history of ownership and who’s calling the shots now! Universal Orlando’s Early Days Universal Orlando Resort, which began as Universal Studios Florida, was originally a partnership. When the park first opened in 1990, it was owned by MCA Universal (the predecessor to NBCUniversal) and The Blackstone Group (a private equity firm). And then, Blackstone bought a 50% stake in Universal Orlando in 2000, which helped fund the expansion that turned it into the full-fledged resort it is today. ©Orlando Informer This partnership was key in transforming Universal Orlando into a true competitor to Disney World, adding Islands of Adventure in 1999 and later CityWalk. But like any good theme park story, there was a plot twist coming. NBCUniversal Takes Full Control In early 2011, NBCUniversal made a big move – they acquired Blackstone’s entire 50% stake for approximately $1.025 billion. That meant NBCUniversal became the sole owner of Universal Orlando Resort, giving them full control over decisions, expansions, and future attractions. ©Comcast Since then, NBCUniversal has poured money into the parks, leading to major expansions like The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Volcano Bay, and the upcoming Epic Universe. Without an external partner like Blackstone, NBCUniversal has had the flexibility to invest heavily in growing the resort into what it is today. What Does This Mean for Universal Orlando? Universal Orlando is now 100% owned by NBCUniversal, which itself is a subsidiary of Comcast. So, while you won’t see a Comcast logo at the front gates, they are the ones ultimately funding and overseeing the resort’s growth. Universal Studios Florida This direct ownership has allowed Universal to aggressively expand and compete with Disney, with new attractions and hotels opening regularly. It also means that Universal Orlando is a critical piece of Comcast’s overall business strategy, making it more than just a theme park – it’s a major player in the entertainment industry. Stella Nova Resort So, next time you’re riding VelociCoaster or sipping Butterbeer in Hogsmeade, just know that Universal Orlando is entirely under the NBCUniversal umbrella. And with Epic Universe almost open to the public, you can tell they’re not going to be slowing down anytime soon! Make sure you keep checking back in for the latest Universal Orlando news! We Just Visited Epic Universe and Have SO Much To Tell You!

One of the biggest complaints we see from Disney adults is the lack of nightlife in Disney World. Jellyrolls There are only a few spots open late enough to be actually considered as nightlife, and it seems that late night entertainment options continue to disappear from the resort. Well, Disney World will soon be down one MORE nighttime entertainment spot: Jellyrolls on Disney’s BoardWalk will soon close its doors forever. However, before those doors close, the dueling piano bar is going to offer the PARTY of a lifetime. Jellyrolls will close its doors forever on April 20th, but on April 19th, you can attend the bar’s final farewell performance. Doors will open at 6 PM and the dueling pianos will start at 6:15 PM. Admission is $22 per person (and remember, you must be 21 or older to enter). No reservations will be accepted, so it’s first-come first-serve. Jellyrolls All current Jellyrolls players will be performing throughout the night, so here’s a chance to catch your favorites one last time. At the end of the evening, you’ll get the opportunity to chat with the performers and Jellyrolls crew. Jellyrolls Keep in mind that the idea is that this is a night of celebration and not closing. Jellyrolls General Manager Amber Antel said, “It’s been a great run at the Boardwalk for almost 30 years and we are so excited to share our farewell performance with our fantastic guests! We are looking forward to welcoming the next chapter of Jellyrolls in a new central Florida location!” Jellyrolls also hopes to welcome a new chapter in a new Central Florida location, so it might be gone from Disney World, but it isn’t gone for good. Jellyrolls So if you enjoyed Jellyrolls as a nighttime entertainment option in Disney World, be sure to stop by on April 19th to say goodbye and enjoy one final hurrah. Stay tuned to DFB for more.

The 2025 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival has kicked off! 2025 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival The festival runs March 5th through June 2nd this year and if you are planning on trying some of the delicious food from the outdoor kitchens, you’ll want to listen up, especially if you will have the Disney Dining Plan. Did you know that you can use snack credits from the DDP at some of the festival booths? That’s right. There are select menu items that will count towards your snack credit allotment. Of course, you’ll want to make sure it is a good value to use a credit instead of purchasing the item. We’re telling you the top snacks to use your credits on at this year’s festival! EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival First up, over in Mexico at the Jardin de Fiestas booth, you’ll find one of the pricier items at the festival for $11.50. The “Giant” Tostada de Carn is made with Oaxacan tostada, barbacoa beef, guacamole, jícama, pumpkin seeds, and salsa macha. The giant tostada is covered in barbacoa beef-style meat, but to us, the meat kind of tastes more like a pot roast. This thing is seriously huge and the price is gonna reflect that. You might gawk at the price at first, but it really is just that big — and good! It’s the perfect way to get a lot out of that snack credit. Giant Tostada de Carne Over at Lan Yuan, you can grab the House-made Cheesy Crab Wontons for a snack credit. These would cost $9.75 without using the credit so it is on the higher end. These are fried wontons filled with cream cheese, celery, and imitation crab. The wontons are also drizzled with plum-chili sauce. We look forward to this Festival favorite dish each year. It is plentiful with the cheese tucked into a crispy, golden wonton wrapper, but for only 3 wontons, it is worth just using a snack credit on. Cheesy Crab Wontons Next, over at Refreshment Port, you can grab the Provence Poutine for $9. If spending $9 on fries seems ridiculous to you, you can grab these with a snack credit. The base of the French fries is seasoned with Herbes de Provence, and the batch is topped with goat brie, lavender honey, hazelnut croquant, and fresh lavender! It is both an interesting and unique option. This dish is also on our personal Best of the Fest list! Provence Poutine For $8.75, you can buy the Primavera Cacio Pepe e Gamberi at Primavera Kitchen. If you want to try this dish, we suggest a dining credit for it, however, we found this underwhelming. It needed more sauce and we thought it was just ok. Primavera Cacio Pepe e Gamberi At Beach Grub, you can grab the Seafood Bake. It is a snack credit and it is packed with shrimp, mussels, clams, andouille sausage, red potatoes, corn on the cob, persillade butter, and a white wine broth… Oh, and it comes with grilled sourdough, too! You will get a good value for your credit here! Seafood Bake The Gnocchis Provencal at Fleur de Lys is $8.95 so it is a higher priced item. The dish is made with pulled duck confit in a rosemary sauce. While this dish may not look the most appetizing, we were amazed by how much we enjoyed it. There is lots of gravy flavor with chunky mushrooms. Gnocchis Provencal At Hanami, there are two snack credit items found here for $8.50 each. The Ramen Cup is a ramen salad shaken in a cup with fresh vegetables, grilled chicken, and dashi broth with chili oil and yuzu. Ramen Cup The Steam Bun was new last year, but is back for 2025. It’s filled with vegetables and plant-based soy meat. The Steam Bun is filled with veggies and plant-based soy meat. If that sounds tasty, use a snack credit on it! 2024 Steam Bun Our biggest tip for using dining credits while at the festival is to do your research first to see what is a good price and what you’ll actually enjoy eating.
