Easter is a little over a week away, but we’ve seen Easter all over the Disney Parks!

While we patiently (or not so patiently) wait for Disneyland to reopen at the end of April, we’ve been trying Easter treats at Disneyland Resort, like the iconic chocolate eggs. But now, there’s another place to celebrate Easter this year and it involves brunch!!!

There are lots of restaurants in Downtown Disney, and UVA Bar and Cafe is one of them. And this year, the restaurant will be offering a special Easter brunch!

Recently, Disneyland Resort announced that it would reopen its theme parks at the end of April.

Although Disney World was able to open in July of 2020, Disneyland has been unable to open until now because of the strict guidelines the state of California set for theme parks to be able to open. Now, California has released updated theme park reopening guidelines as the biggest theme parks in Southern California prepare to reopen.

Today, the state of California released their COVID-19 guidance for theme parks. One of the guidelines is that employees must develop a program that allows for optional testing on a weekly basis for any workers who may encounter other employees.

Another aspect of the guidelines is that indoor rides must be limited to no more than 15 minutes. All queues for attractions or rides must be outdoors, and there should be plexiglass installed to ensure that there is at least six feet between groups. Also regarding rides, household members should be boarded in the same vehicle if possible, and passengers from different households should continue to be at least six feet apart. Loading patterns for ride vehicles may need to be adjusted to accommodate physical distancing.

Similarly to Disney World, face coverings are mandatory unless actively eating or drinking, and guests who do not comply will be asked to leave.

There are specific guidelines for performers as well, and performers are not required to wear a face covering during their performance if it is not feasible. However, unmasked performers must be six feet away from any other people. All unmasked performers must take a COVID-19 test at least twice per week if they come into close contact with other performers who are also unmasked.

The guidelines also state that guests are only allowed to eat and drink in designated areas. Just like in Disney World, guests cannot eat or drink while waiting for an attraction.

Some of these guidelines are similar to what we have seen in Disney World, and some are brand new. We’ll be on the lookout for more information regarding the reopening of the Disneyland theme parks, so stay tuned for more information.

Here at DFB, we like to be on the lookout for new things at Disney. New flavors, new merchandise, and even new color trends. This week we saw a fan favorite at Disney Springs showing off something new that caught our eye!

Located in the Landing in Disney Springs, Wine Bar George is a restaurant featuring food and wine pairings by Master Sommelier George Miliotes. In addition to tasty dishes and a huge wine selection, they also have fun frozen drinks such as the Froscato (made with pineapple Dole Whip!) and the Friezling (made with lime Dole Whip).

If you’re snagging one of the signature frozen drinks, you might also be tempted to grab one of the branded Wine Bar George Corkcicles.

Over the years, they’ve come in several different colors. This week, Wine Bar George announced on Twitter that a NEW color of Corkcicle has arrived!

The new Corkcicle is a shiny light blue and features the Wine Bar George logo in silver. The Powder Blue Corkcicle also includes a complimentary frozen beverage with purchase! It’s available now at Disney Springs, while supplies last. We’ll be heading there ourselves to try and see it in person soon!

Need help choosing which beverage to get? Check out our review of the Dole Whip Froscato!
