We’re back and snackin’ on another Easter treat!
Disney Springs
We’ve been making our way through all the Easter eats in Disney World — guys, that’s a LOT of cupcakes and cookies! And so far, a ton of our treats have been bunny- (and bunny butt)-inspired. But we’re not finished just yet! We’re BACK with yet another bunny butt treat for ya.
We hopped (get it?) over to Amorette’s Patisserie at Disney Springs to snag the Bunny Mousse. You’ll get carrot cake with coconut ice cream mousse and a caramel cream cheese center. For some extra springtime flair, there’s glittery grass and chocolate bunny feet we think even Thumper would be jealous of.
Bunny Mousse
Okay, so this treat is pretty cute, right? But we’re here to EAT, people. When we dug in, we immediately noticed that the spicy carrot cake bottom complemented the sweet coconut. We enjoyed both flavors — especially because the coconut wasn’t too sugary.
ANOTHER bunny butt treat!
The caramel cream cheese center really tied the whole treat together. No complaints here! If you’re a fan of lighter flavors — think vanilla — you’ll love this dessert. It’s great for kiddos, too!
Those feet look like they’ve got Hidden Mickeys!
If you really dislike carrot cake, this probably isn’t the treat for you. But if you’re on the fence about those flavors, give it a try! You may be pleasantly surprised.
Looks tasty!
You can grab a bunny butt (ahem, Bunny Mousse) for yourself for $9 at Amorette’s Patisserie. We’ll keep trying all the other Easter treats around Disney World — and bringing ya the latest Disney news — so stay tuned to DFB!

Bright Suns, DFB friends!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios boasts some pretty unique (and tasty) eats and drinks. Besides the fact that you can eat your meal with the COOLEST utensil on the planet (of Batuu, of course), you can also find an assortment of eats like Blue Milk and the popular Ronto Wrap. And, when Disney shared that they would be adding TWO new versions of the Ronto Wrap to the menu, we knew we had to head over to give it a try!
The menu at Ronto Roasters now features two new takes on the wrap — one for breakfast and one for lunch and dinner. Here’s the kicker — they’re both vegan. We stopped by early in the day to give the new Triple Suns Breakfast Wrap a try!
Ronto Roasters Breakfast Menu
The wrap is made with plant-based “egg,” smoky chickpea onion slaw, and roasted tomato sauce wrapped in a warm pita. And, this wrap packs a bit of a SPICY punch! We thought that it almost has a curry taste to the spice, rather than a “burn your tongue, it’s so spicy” spice. We think lots of people could enjoy this level of heat, but if you’re totally averse to spice, maybe steer clear.
Welcome to the Ronto Wrap family big guy!
Other than the spice, there are a lot of different flavors going on when you bite into the wrap. But, what we enjoyed most was the smoky chickpea onion slaw. We could eat a whole TUB of that with just the pita bread and be happy!
Now THAT is a FILLED wrap!
The plant-based eggs weren’t as good as we were hoping, though they certainly didn’t prevent us from devouring the entire wrap in one sitting. They do kind of mix in with all the other fillings, so they’re certainly not the star of the show. And, speaking of eating the whole thing, this is definitely a breakfast for those who are hungry. The serving size is on the larger end and all the ingredients made for one filling meal. Truthfully, most Ronto Wrap options can be easily shared if you’re not ravenous.
The plant-based eggs were a surprising flavor
Overall, we think that this will be a winner for those looking for a filling plant-based option. Would we pick it over the regular morning wrap (that’s basically a regular Ronto Wrap with an egg omelet instead of slaw and sliced pork)? Probably not. It’s good, but the original still takes the advantage here. If you’re thinking of giving this new wrap a try, you can find it on the menu in the mornings for $11.49.
If you’re not a fan of heavily spiced foods you probably won’t enjoy this new wrap as much as others. Also, don’t let the words “plant-based” deter you. It still tastes really good. That said, we also really enjoyed the new Zuchii wrap we tried recently. If you’ve got your heart set on a plant-based wrap, we suggest waiting til lunchtime to grab that one. The grilled veggies there are topped with the same chickpea goodness as this one and the whole thing was really flavorful!

Planning to visit Disney World in April? Well, then there are quite a few things you should know about!
What a view!
From brand NEW experiences coming to the parks to BIG savings that will be expiring soon, we’ve got it all here for you. Today, we’re breaking down the 5 things that will be different in Disney World in April!
This year, Easter takes place on April 4th. We’ve already seen a whole bunch of Easter and spring-themed snacks and decorations (hello chocolate egg displays) popping up all around Disney World.
Such Cute Easter treats available at Beach Club Marketplace!
More decorations and snacks are set to be released as Easter gets closer, so you’ll want to be on the lookout for that.
What an AWESOME Easter Egg Display
There will also be a number of Easter brunches available in Disney World, so you might want to take advantage of some of those! Once Easter passes, those Easter treats and special displays will start to go away. So, be sure to check them out while they’re still available!
April is also set to bring with it a few re-openings. At Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Kali River Rapids is set to reopen.
Ready to Ride the Rapids?
And *CROSS YOUR FINGERS AND YOUR TOES* the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover is currently set to reopen on April 4th. Oh jeez — yes, we’re here once again — just days away from the potential reopening of the PeopleMover. We’ve basically gotten this close before only to have the PeopleMover’s closure extended (over and over again), so that’s certainly a possibility.
PeopleMover
But, call us crazy, we’re kind-of hopeful (maybe?) because we heard the beautiful, screeching sound of the PeopleMover’s loading platform being tested recently. Who knows?! Maybe this time our PeopleMover dreams will come true!
In April, a number of special deals and discounts for your next Disney World trip will also be ending. First Annual Passholders can save up to 40% on select rooms in Disney World for most nights through April 17th. You have until April 17th to book your room and take advantage of this offer.
Have you ever stayed at the Yacht and Beach Club?
Florida Residents can save up to 35% on select Disney World hotels as well for most nights through April 17th. Again, they have until April 17th to book the room and take advatange of the offer.
Seriously, this is one of the prettiest spots!
But, when one door closes, another one opens! Two NEW deals will also become available for stays beginning in April. First, Annual Passholders will have the chance to save up to 35% on select hotel stays most nights from April 18th through July 10th. Rooms need to be booked by July 10th to use this offer.
Check out this beautiful view at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
And all guests will have the chance to save up to 30% on Disney World hotel stays most nights from April 18th through July 10th. You’ll need to book by May 27th to receive this offer though.
Beach Club Resort in Disney World
So, if you want to take advantage of some great hotel savings, be sure to check out these deals!
Earth Day is April 22nd, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom is going ALL OUT to celebrate! From April 18th through the 24th, limited-time eats, experiences, and MORE will all be available in Animal Kingdom.
Nothing like Animal Kingdom on Earth Day!
You might catch some new characters on the flotillas, get the chance to draw some great Disney animal characters at The Animation Experience, or chow down on a few limited-time treats like the returning Honey Bee Cupcake.
Bee Cupcake
There will also be pins, plushes, and more. So, if you’re heading to Animal Kingdom in April, be sure to look for all of these limited-time items!
While this isn’t necessarily “different” than March, if you’re visiting Disney World in April, you’ll want to pay close attention to those Park Hours and Park Passes.
In terms of Park Passes, similar to March, we’ve already seen quite a few days in April filling up. We’ve also seen select Park Passes become available again for some of those days, so that’s something you’ll just want to keep an eye out for.
Theme Park Tickets Availability for Park Passes ©Disney
Our advice? Be sure to get those Park Passes as soon as you can so that at least you can be sure you’ll get into one park. Then, if more Park Passes become available, you can try to cancel and make a new reservation. Park Passes filled up a lot at the end of March especially, and they could do so again in April especially since spring breaks will still be happening.
Park hours are also changing in April. We’ve already seen Disney extend hours for early April, and now they’ve extended hours through more of mid-April as well.
Magic Kingdom Park Hours ©Disney
Park Pass availability and Park Hours can change quite a bit though, so all of this could change in the future. If you’ve got a trip planned for April, be sure to check the Disney websites often and check back with us for more updates!
And finally, while this doesn’t relate to Disney World, we couldn’t talk about things happening in April without at least mentioning Disneyland! Disneyland is currently set to reopen on April 30th after having been closed for OVER a year.
Guests Will Be Able to Visit Disneyland Soon!!
In April, the “A Touch of Disney” event will also be ending at Disney California Adventure Park as that park prepares to officially reopen. Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel will be reopening in April at the Disneyland Resort. And Premier Passholders need to call Disney to get everything arranged to keep their Disney World annual pass in April (they need to call by April 30th).
And those are the biggest things that will be different in Disney World (and a bit of Disneyland) in April. We’ll be keeping an eye out for more updates in the upcoming weeks and months and let you know about all the latest Disney news. Stay tuned for more!

Welcome back to another What’s New at Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle
We’re takin’ a trip all around the park to show ya what’s new in merchandise, construction, and more. And who knows — we may spot a few characters along the way! Let’s get this show on the road.
Main Street, U.S.A. is switchin’ up their shops! Yesterday, Main Street Confectionery closed for a months-long refurbishment. But don’t worry — you’ll still be able to get your candy fix at Main Street Cinema! You can pick up the Confectionery’s sweet treats pre-packaged there.
Main Street Confectionery is officially closed!
Disney hasn’t announced when the Confectionery will reopen, but we know the closure will last through June 12th at the earliest. That’s as far out as Disney’s released its park hours and refurbishment calendar for now! We’ll keep you posted as we learn more.
And just around the corner, The Chapeau has closed for refurb, too! You’ll still be able to get hats, ears, and more at Box Office Gifts down the street. They’re even doing embroidery over there!
The Chapeau has closed temporarily!
Disney hasn’t announced a reopening date for The Chapeau, either, but we’ll keep ya posted.
Over in Fantasyland, Prince Charming Regal Carrousel is getting some touch-ups. You can spot new gold leaf painting on the top of the carrousel, around the pictures from the movie. The sparkly paint surrounds images of Cinderella’s wedding…
Prince Charming Regal Carrousel is getting some spiffying!
…the Fairy Godmother…
Hey, Fairy Godmother!
…and more! We’ve gotta say, the ride looks pretty snazzy now.
Prince Charming Regal Carrousel Gold Leaf Painting
This little update is part of a larger makeover coming to Fantasyland this year. We’ll keep an eye out for more changes!
Okay, let’s hop over to Adventureland! We spotted a tiny change at the Jungle Cruise, where the FastPass sign has been painted over.
Goodbye, FastPass sign!
We’ve seen this happen on other rides like Space Mountain and Kilimanjaro Safaris, but we can’t be sure what this little tweak means. But we’ll keep our eye on it!
Over by Cinderella Castle, the mystery construction treks on. At the castle stage, we’re keeping an eye on the progress as what seem to be wired strips are placed over the wooden frame.
Cinderella Castle Stage Construction Progress
Disney hasn’t announced what this construction could be for, but we’ve got a sneaking suspicion it’ll be put to good use for Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration!
We spotted some new merch while out and about, too! On Main Street, U.S.A., we found a black Mickey balloon. While there’s LOTS of colors up for grabs, like sunshine yellow, orange, and green, black balloons are typically only available around Halloween.
Black balloon is doing its thing
Here’s hopin’ it lasts!
At Tomorrowland Light and Power Co. (that’s the Space Mountain gift shop!), we spotted WandaVision phone cases and magnets. These aren’t for individual sale, but you can make them using Disney’s MaDe software. There are quite a few phone case options…
WandaVision Phone Cases
…and some fun magnets, too!
WandaVision Magnets
Of course, the classic WandaVision logo is there, too.
WandaVision Magnets
If you can’t get enough of the show (just like us!), you may wanna swing by and check them out.
And at the Emporium, we saw the new Pastel Rainbow ears for the first time in Disney World! We’ve previously spotted these in Downtown Disney in Disneyland Resort (and online!), and we’re happy to see ’em on the east coast.
OoooOoooo! So Pretty!
They’re a gorgeous swirl of purples, blues, and yellows, and you can grab a pair for $29.99!
We ran into LOTS of characters as we were walkin’ around the park! On our way in, we caught the Mickey cavalcade, where the main mouse and his pals gave us a big ol’ wave.
Mickey Cavalcade
In Frontierland, we stopped to watch the Goofy cavalcade…
Hey, Panchito!
…and we ran into Anastasia in Fantasyland!
Anastasia’s posin’ for the camera!
Back at the Main Street Train Station, we saw plenty of princesses, too, like Rapunzel…
Rapunzel
…Tiana…
Tiana
…and Elena!
Elena
We had some pretty good luck spotting characters, don’t ya think?
Well, that’s it for our trip around Magic Kingdom! We’ll be back soon with some more updates from Disney World’s flagship park. In the meantime, stay tuned to DFB for plenty more Disney news!
