Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!
We’ve got more meet-and-greet reopening dates, a new restaurant is coming to Disney Springs, new show announcements, Genie+ changes, and MORE!
Out of the hundreds of snacks in Disney World, there are definitely some that have risen to the top of the popularity charts.
We’ve got classics like Dole Whip or the Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar, as well as the beloved Spring Rolls in Magic Kingdom or the Ronto Wrap in Hollywood Studios. But there are also treats out there that go completely under the radar, and today, we tried one that’s so far under the radar that you might even call it a SECRET!
We’ve seen a TON of new Disney merchandise recently!
With dozens of new items released for the opening of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and the endless flow of new 50th Anniversary products, it seems like there are new things to shop for in the Disney World parks every single day! But if you can’t make it to the parks soon, don’t despair — many of those same merch items are available online, and today we’re sharing a roundup of the newest things to hit shopDisney!
Hey, you! Yes, you! Are you looking for a recap of the latest and greatest Disney news? Want to make sure you can show off to your friends with the latest Disney knowledge? Planning a trip and worried you’ll miss something that could change your plans? We’ve got you covered!
Each week, we take a look at the biggest Disney news stories and share those with you, so you can be prepared for the trips coming in your future. This week was a big one! We got a Genie+ CHANGE that could impact your trip plans, news about a brand new restaurant, and more! So let’s dive into the biggest stories right here.
When it comes to Disney parks, things are always being changed and updated for better guest experiences.
Sometimes an attraction or dining location can close unexpectedly, but then reopen a short time later, while other times a lengthy refurbishment is what’s on the menu. Over in Disneyland, Pirates of the Caribbean has been closed for renovations, and the attached restaurant, Blue Bayou, was impacted by the closure. We weren’t too sure when we might be able to dine at this eatery again, although we had guessed it might be later this month. But now, it looks like Blue Bayou is open once again!
It’s June, which means it’s both summertime AND Pride Month in Disney World!
If you’re visiting Disney World this June, you have the opportunity to try new summer and Pride treats, which means there’s a LOT to eat (let’s be honest though, is that any different than a usual visit to Disney World?). We tried four new treats and one drink to help you narrow down your list, although we have a feeling you may want to get all of them. Don’t worry, we won’t judge!
Disney World closures do happen from time to time — in fact, not everything is even open at Disney World yet!
Several restaurants in EPCOT are still closed, like Monsieur Paul and Takumi-Tei, and Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique also remains closed in Magic Kingdom (but should be reopening sometime this year!). We keep up with all of the closures at Disney World to help you better plan your trips, and now, a restaurant at a popular Disney World hotel will be closing this summer!
We’ve really been enjoying the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival.
The festival is still going strong and runs for another month — through July 4th. We’ve told you all about the food, activities, and entertainment. We’ve even told you about the NEXT festival, the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, which starts on July 14th. Well, Disney has decided to get an early jump on getting things ready for that one!
Would you believe us if we told you we could show you a tour of one of Disney’s most popular Resort hotels without you ever having to leave your couch?
Not to mention, it won’t cost you a thing! Disney’s Contemporary Resort is a deluxe hotel that is within literal walking distance of Magic Kingdom. With perks like that, you can believe it’s just a bit on the pricier side. From new restaurants to old favorites and updated rooms, the Contemporary is loved by many Disney guests. And now, we’re taking you on a full room tour!
Are you obsessed with the U.K. and British royalty?
Have you kept up with every episode of The Crown, enjoy the occasional afternoon tea, indulge in fish and chips, and buy all the corgi merchandise in EPCOT’s U.K. Pavilion? Are you celebrating Queen Elizabeth II’s platinum jubilee? Well, there’s a NEW way to celebrate the Queen’s big milestone in Disney World!
