In February, we tried a SUPER cool drink in EPCOT for National Margarita Day.
Spaceship Earth
Ever heard of a margarita with a smoke bubble on top?! They exist, and they’re AWESOME. We’ve tried quite a few in the past, but the National Margarita Day specialty sip from La Cava del Tequila was advertised as super limited edition. That is…until now.
We returned to La Cava del Tequila today to give the Alebrije another try! It’s Centinela Blanco Tequila, Chinola Passion Fruit Liqueur, Fresh Lime Juice, and a Mixed Berry Bubble. As for that souvenir cup it comes in? There were only supposed to be 100 of ’em, but 2 months later Disney’s still giving them out!
How it looked then…
There IS a big difference between this drink and the one from National Margarita Day, and it’s the presentation. Does the new version of the drink look like Spaceship Earth at night to anyone? Or is it just us?!
How it looks NOW!
The original sip was supposed to be served with that LED glowing ice cube, but they weren’t available when we stopped by that day. However, they’re here now, and they look SUPER cool! There’s also still that smoke bubble, which you can ooh and ah over before you start drinkin’.
Making the smoke bubble!
The glowing cube gives the smoke bubble a unique neon look. Like we’ve told you in the past, the smoke bubble pops SUPER easily, but when it does, you’ve got a haziness that perfect for photos. In fact, the entire process of making this drink is super Insta-worthy. You can watch the whole thing here!
We stopped by @cavadeltequila this afternoon and grabbed the Alebrije! This drink is a whole experience! pic.twitter.com/Vg4TKI3LQ4

We cannot wait to chow down on some Disneyland favorites, check out our favorite rides, and more! While you’re in Disneyland, you’ll probably want to capture ALL of those special memories, take some great PhotoPass photos, and maybe download those on-ride images. And now Disney has a NEW PhotoPass package for you to buy so you can do just that!
Disneyland has introduced its NEW PhotoPass+ One Day package. You can get PhotoPass+ One Day for $19.99 through the Disneyland app.
What is PhotoPass+ One Day you ask? Well, for that $19.99 price, you get UNLIMITED downloads of your Disney PhotoPass photos from one day, plus select attraction and dining photos as digital downloads.
Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle
This package includes any Magic Shots and Animated Magic Shots as well. It’s a limited time offering though, so if you want to take advantage of it, be sure to get it while it’s still available.

The photos will only be available to download 45 days from the date of capture, so just be sure to download them before they disappear.
You’ll find the PhotoPass+ One Day package available in the Disneyland app if you select “Buy Disney PhotoPass+.”

And Disney notes that you won’t want to miss the NEW PhotoPass location on the outer edges of the galaxy. Disney says that this special Magic Shot will include the Child. Sounds like you’ll have to head to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge for that one!

We’ve seen a special PhotoPass Magic Shot appear with Baby Yoda in Disney World’s Galaxy’s Edge, so we’ll definitely be on the lookout for the Magic Shot that ultimately appears in Disneyland. Disney says the tip here is to ask your Disney PhotoPass Photographer to “add a little magic to your shot.”

If you’ll be visiting Disneyland for a bit longer, Disney notes that the Disney PhotoPass+ One Week option is also available.
As another alternative, you should also be able to purchase some of your PhotoPass photos individually if you’d like to do so.
Disneyland Resort, here we come!
But, if you’ll be heading to Disneyland Resort and are looking to download all of your PhotoPass photos from one day, be sure to check out their new One Day option.

Okay, so… you know how we like to keep you informed of the availability for the required Disney World Park Passes to visit the theme parks in case you’re planning a Disney World vacation, right?
The Most Magical Place on Earth!
While the availability of Park Passes can fluctuate, we’ve definitely noticed that they’ve been more difficult to snag lately, so we feel like it’s extra important to keep you in the loop. Of course, we always expect holidays like the 4th of July to book up fairly early. But while we were scoping out the situation today, we noticed a date already starting to fill up that was… well, rather unexpected.
Going through the Park Pass availability calendar, we scrolled into November, and were surprised to see ONE YELLOW DATE for two groups of ticket holders. (Yellow, as a reminder, means that at least one park is FULL; Green means all four parks are open and Gray indicates all Park Passes are gone.) The first group is regular Theme Park Ticket guests.
Park Pass Calendar Screenshot
And the second group is Resort Guests.
Park Pass Calendar Screenshot
As you can see, the date in question is — are you ready for it? — Monday, November 22nd! And Disney’s Hollywood Studios is already the hard ticket to get!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Annual Passholders, by the way, are still in the green zone with availability at all four parks throughout November.
Park Pass Calendar Screenshot
I guess some folks REALLY want to ride Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance in Galaxy’s Edge when Thanksgiving week kicks off. (Thanksgiving Day wouldn’t have been as much of a surprise to see filling up as the preceding Monday, tho…) But, hey, if you’re able to book your Park Passes as early as possible, this goes to show that it’s ALWAYS best to grab ’em as early as you can!
EVERYONE. WANTS. TO. RIDE. THIS. ATTRACTION.
Another fall date you’ll want to book as soon as possible is October 1, 2021. Not only is it the official kickoff of the 50th Anniversary Celebration for Walt Disney World, it’s ALSO the day that Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure AND La Crêperie de Paris open in EPCOT!
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is coming!!
As always, Park Pass availability often gets replenished, and is always subject to change. But since you never know exactly what to expect, we’ll continue to keep you posted right here!

Another change that is rather small but just as special can be found on Cast Member’s name tags. Disneyland President Ket Potrock shared his new name tag on Instagram, which features the new tagline “Bringing Back the Magic” on the bottom.
