food IS a theme park
We’ve discovered so many of our favorite treats from Disneyland’s Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe, including the totally delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Hand Pie.

During our most recent visit to The Happiest Place on Earth, we spotted something NEW at Jolly Holiday — the Apple Tart!
Hey, guys! We’re back with another DFB Video and today we’re chatting about the things that you’d totally miss at Walt Disney World if you didn’t check out this video!
Fall into Magic at Disney Springs
Walt Disney World is HUGE and there are SO many under-the-radar activities that tons of guests walk right past.
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is an iconic Disney attraction that you can find in Disney World’s Hollywood Studios, Disneyland Paris’ Walt Disney Studios Park, and Tokyo DisneySea. Disney California Adventure has a similar drop attraction, but it has been rethemed to become Guardians of the Galaxy — Mission: Breakout!

Today, Disney gave us a closer look at some thrilling new updates featured in the attraction in Paris!
Welcome to our latest roundup of What’s New at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge!
Animal Kingdom Lodge
We have a bunch of menu changes and merchandise updates to tell you about, so let’s get started!
Jambo House’s quick-service restaurant, The Mara, has updated its menu with Disney’s new plant-based logos and new vegetarian items. Safari Bobotie, a meat-free egg and sausage dish with savory mushrooms, onion and spinach served with Chakalaka sauce is now available for breakfast along with Breakfast Quinoa and Steel-cut Oatmeal.

Following the Disney World Skyliner accident last night, guests who had been stuck on Disney World’s newest transportation system for up to three hours have been tweeting their story — and direct messaging us here at DFB — about their experience.
Disney World Skyliner Rescue Vehicles Last Night
Luckily, it was evening, so the temperature wasn’t as much of a problem as it would have been had guests been stuck in the gondolas during the heat of the day. But boredom and the lack of bathrooms ended up being a real issue for many guests, as you’d expect.
Disney’s PA system announced to guests at first that the skyliner was temporarily delayed. Over and over and over again. Then announcements began that the guests should use the emergency packs found under the Skyliner’s wooden seats. These included cold packs, bathroom bags, notepads, and water.
Well here’s a look inside the emergency kit on the #Skyliner. We were just told we could open it. There’s water inside, a note pad, cups (possibly in case nature calls), light stick … hitting 90+ min @WaltDisneyWorld @WFTV pic.twitter.com/3xyvrHGyUO

Guests realized that they were seriously stuck. And may be stuck for a long, long time. Many began to post to social media about their predicament, updating the world in real time about their experience.

Finally guests began to see first responders on the scene. DFB follower @Diane_Katherine sent us photos from her experience via instagram.
First Responders on the scene
Guests weren’t sure what had happened, if anyone had been hurt, or what their rescue situation might be.
First Responder Truck Ready to Evacuate
And after up to three hours stuck on the Skyliner, some gondolas began to move very slowly toward the stations while others were evacuated from the air by emergency vehicles.
Happening now at Disney.

When guests were able to finally get off of the Skyliner, we’ve seen tweets and had guests report they were given two $50 Disney gift cards and two Disney World park hopper tickets to make up for their trouble. Disney also had cold water available and taxis and transportation ready to return guests to their homes and resorts.
Just finished talking to some @WaltDisneyWorld representatives but no one would say what happened. They took our info and gave gift cards and park hopper passes. My gondola mate was disappointed @DisneyCruise wasn’t on the table. 🙂 pic.twitter.com/IsS0OQpl2f

At this time, the Disney World Skyliner is closed until further notice.
As you may be aware, there was an incident on the Disney World Skyliner last night.
