Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

And, we’ve got plenty of food, entertainment, and merchandise updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
Hello, friends! Today we’re dropping by Disney’s Magic Kingdom to see what’s going on!
Piglet and Rabbit
We’ve been spending a LOT of time in the parks and resorts lately! With so many people traveling for the holidays and Disney gearing up for the New Year, there’s tons of news to report and lots to see. Let’s dive right in!
Since Disney World has reopened, character experiences have looked a bit different than before. This not only includes meet-and-greets in the parks but character dining experiences too!
Chef Mickey’s
That’s why as soon as we heard Chef Mickey’s at Disney’s Contemporary Resort (one of the most iconic character dining locations in all of Disney World) would be bringing its characters back, we knew we had to check it out! While there were some issues originally trying to grab a reservation, we were lucky enough to snag one. This meal has been updated when it reopened in July, serving breakfast to your table as an all-you-care-to-eat meal, rather than the usual buffet.
Disney Cast Members have been significantly impacted by this global pandemic and the closure of the Disney parks.

Earlier this year, the Disney College Program and other programs were temporarily suspended. The 2020 Fall Disney College Program for Disney World and Disneyland were also canceled for the Fall. And now we’ve got an update in terms of the situation moving forward with some of those programs.
Welcome back to the monorail loop!
Grand Floridian Lobby
We recently made a journey around the Seven Seas Lagoon. Let’s take a look at what’s new at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
This year has been particularly challenging for the travel industry including Disney. First, the company saw the closure of its theme parks all over the world due to the global pandemic. On top of this, Disney Cruise Line sailings are completely halted for the time being.
Disney Wonder
Most recently, Disney Cruise Line canceled any sailings lasting longer than seven nights due to new guidelines by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Previously, the company had already canceled cruises through the end of February 2021.
It’s hard to believe that the longest year ever, 2020, is almost over! And we are so ready for 2021!
2021 Merchandise
We’re starting to see some 2021 merchandise turn up at the parks. We recently saw a TON of 2021 stuff at Disneyland, and now we’re starting to see 2021 merch pop up at Disney World, too!
It seems that currently, the world can’t get enough Baby Yoda and The Mandalorian merchandise!
Mandalorian Collection
It seems like we’ve been making post after post about all the new Baby Yoda items getting dropped (almost daily), and yet new merch keeps showing up — people must be buying this stuff! Even though it seems impossible to keep up with, we definitely don’t mind, because MAN that little green guy is cute, and we honestly can’t blame anyone for being obsessed with him. Today we spotted two more shirts on shopDisney, and they’re perfect for the Baby Yoda fans who want to call him by his REAL name!
If you’re a big Disney fan, then you’re probably familiar with the name Bob Iger.

Iger served as the CEO for the Walt Disney Company for several years until very recently, but still currently serves as Executive Chairman. Iger seriously considered running for President of the United States and ultimately decided not to, but it seems that he may soon be involved again in public service. Iger is reportedly a possible candidate to be a United States ambassador.
It’s no secret that we here at DFB LOVE the holiday season!
