It’s never a bad day to do some Disney shopping, right?

When you can’t be at Disney, you can still go Disney shopping!

Between Minnie Ears, Disney Funko Pop! Figures, and way more Disney collectibles than we can count, there’s always something new to shop for and get your Disney fix. And, we found a new t-shirt collection from Jane that combines three of our favorite things and can be customized to fit whatever style your feeling!

You know that here at DFB we love ourselves some giant donuts, ice cream, and Disney, and that’s exactly what the Magical Vacation T-Shirts Collection is all about! The tops feature three different styles, including a donut in the shape of Mickey Mouse, a 3-scoop ice-cream cone with Minnie ears, and “Home” with a castle as the “O.” And, you can even pick your color — the shirts come in lavender, mint, pink, white, and yellow.

This is a HUGE year for Disney World. The resort turns 50 years old!!! And there’s going to be a massive celebration starting in October and lasting through 2023. Now THAT’S a party!

Is something different here?

And that means that a lot of Disney World, including Magic Kingdom, is getting refreshed and updated. The Castle got a brand new paint job and some seriously glammed-up decor. Fantasyland is getting a golden touch-up. Even the gift shop Bonjour Village Gifts got a facelift! But there’s probably one update you may have not yet noticed at Magic Kingdom — maybe because it requires you to look up.

But if you do, you might notice something — the windows are looking a lot more spiffy on Main Street, U.S.A.

Refreshed!

As you can see, this is what this window looked like previously.

Windows

They’ve received some touch-ups and some of the windows have new little details!

Lookin’ good!

In fact, the windows almost look new again! So bold and bright.

Refreshed!

And it’s such a small detail that we felt the need to point it out — the windows often get overlooked as it is (and really, they shouldn’t be).

Looking great!

So be sure to check them out the next time you’re headed to Cinderella Castle.

Disney Imagineers have got them looking SO SPIFFY.

We’ll be sure to let you know about other Disney World updates, too!

Disney World still looks pretty different from the way it did prior to the 2020 park closures.

Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin

Social distancing markers are still in the queue, capacity is still restricted with Disney Park Pass reservations, and some ride experiences are still modified. Now, though, we did spot one eased health measure over in Magic Kingdom.

Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin in Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland is now loading every row. Previously, Cast Members were leaving at least one car between each party. Sometimes still you will see more cars between parties, but that depends on how quickly the Cast Member is able to load the parties.

Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin

We spoke to a Cast Member who let us know that yes, every car is being loaded but due to social distancing in line, you still might not have folks in front of you or behind you.

Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin

Since this is now loading every row, hopefully, the wait times at this attraction should go down! We will keep our eyes on it and we will let you know if we see any changes in the wait times. Today, we waited for about 20 mintues.

The post Slowing Back Down – Disney World Wait Times for Thursday, April 29, 2021 appeared first on TouringPlans.com Blog.

The Disney Wish will be completely rehauling their family dining experiences! Guests will get to experience three brand new locations, including an enchanted “Frozen” kingdom, an Avengers technology showcase and the golden age of Hollywood. These are restaurants that only Disney could cook up!

The Disney Wish will continue Disney Cruise Line’s innovative family dining concept. This allows Guests to experience one of three restaurants each night accompanied by a dedicated service team that is assigned to their family throughout the voyage. (I’m a big fan of rotational dining!)

Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure

Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure is Disney’s first “Frozen”-themed theatrical dining experience. The restaurant will bring the kingdom of Arendelle to life through immersive live entertainment and will feature favorite characters like Elsa, Anna, Kristoff and Olaf , alongside world-class cuisine infused with Nordic influences.

Families be invited to attend a royal engagement party for Queen Anna and Kristoff, picking up the story where Frozen 2 left off. Elsa and Olaf will host the celebration with catering provided by their friend Oaken’s “Hearty Party Planning Service… and Sauna” and live entertainment will be performed by “local” musicians who specialize in Nordic renditions of familiar Frozen songs.

Throughout the meal, Guests will enjoy live musical performances and will even get the opportunity to join the festivities with fun table crafts, sing-alongs and a grand finale that’ll have everyone on their feet.

This new dining establishment is designed in the style of a theater-in-the-round. It will feature dining tables situated around a small center stage and will tell the story in 360-degree glory. Invisible fiber optics will be embedded in the ceiling to resemble Elsa’s icy magic, and panoramic windows will magically transform from real-time ocean views to the colorful dancing lights of the Aurora Borealis.

Disney Cruise Line is also developing brand-new looks for Anna and Kristoff, plus an all-new way to encounter Olaf through true-to-scale using cutting-edge puppetry that can talk and interact with families as they dine.

The one-of-a-kind menu for Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure will combine traditional flavors from the Nordic region with modern, family-friendly fare. Guests will delight in seafoods, rustic game dishes and tasty nods to the Frozen story. And yes, there will be plenty of chocolate for dessert.

Worlds of Marvel

Worlds of Marvel is the first-ever Marvel cinematic dining adventure, where guests will play an interactive role in an action-packed Avengers mission that unfolds around them.

This upscale-restaurant-meets-technology-showcase will up the ante on the traditional “dinner and a show” idea. The restaurant will be outfitted with state-of-the-art Pym Tech and decked out in signature Stark-itecture style. The venue offers surprises in all shapes and sizes.

Worlds of Marvel will take families on a tour of the real and fictional settings of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with dishes inspired by legendary locales like African Wakanda, Eastern European Sokovia and the Avengers’ home base of New York City. (Who wants to bet that schwarma will be on the menu?)

Worlds of Marvel will feature an original storyline starring fan-favorite Avengers and an infamous foe. More information will be announced at a later date.

1923

Named for the year The Walt Disney Company was founded, 1923 will pay homage to the golden age of animation.  The restaurant will combine classic Hollywood glamour with a dash of Disney whimsy. 1923 will include two lavish dining rooms, named for both Walt and Roy Disney. The rooms will feature more than 1,000 drawings, props and other tools of the trade, providing an inside look at the evolution of Disney animation.

At 1923, guests will enjoy sophisticated dishes designed with families in mind. Dishes will be inspired by the fusion of cultural flavors found throughout the Golden State, blending Asian, European and South American cuisines. It will feature local ingredients like fresh produce, wild honey and earthy pistachios. All paired, of course, with a selection of world-famous Napa Valley wines

In addition to these main restaurants, the Disney Wish will offer a variety of other dining options ranging from quick bites, casual dining and 24-hour room service to specialty treats, gourmet cafes  More details about that will be released soon.
