We’re Flipping Out Over These New Disney Character Spatulas!

We found your next go-to cooking utensil during a recent visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Hollywood Boulevard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Have you noticed all the super cool kitchen merchandise Disney has come out with lately? We love these Mickey-shaped ice cube trays and this assortment of Fab Five cookware. And if that doesn’t convince you, we have just four words to say…Millennium Falcom Waffle Maker!

As we strolled through Celebrity 5 & 10 in Hollywood Studios, we got a glimpse of these magically whimsical spatulas. This Cinderella-themed spatula is just what we need to brighten up our kitchens.

It looks a little more spatula-y from the back!

Construction Update! See What the Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Ride at EPCOT Looks Like NOW!

We are really, really excited about the upcoming Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure ride.

Ratatouille Ride Vehicle

We like to check in on the France Pavilion a LOT to see what kind of work is being done to get this new attraction ready for opening. Recently, we flew over in the Skyliner and snapped some exciting pics! The France Pavilion expansion looks GOOD, y’all!

The new attraction is set to be the centerpiece of expansion for the pavilion. It will also include a brand new restaurant — La Creperie de Paris — and the areas theming looks SPECTACULAR so far!

France Pavilion Construction

We noticed plenty of construction equipment and added lights for the workers to make progress in the area. Things are looking pretty far-along, but we definitely still see some work to be done with unfinished windows and paint jobs.

France Pavilion Construction

Initially, the new attraction was supposed to open in Summer 2020. A sign saying so was recently removed but we’re not sure yet if the park closure caused a delay. You can bet we’ll be keeping an ear to the ground for ANY news about the attraction’s opening.

France Pavilion Construction

So, of course, stay tuned to DFB for all of the latest updates on Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, the France Pavilion, and La Creperie de Paris! Au revoir!
