But we recently had a character interaction that didn’t quite go according to plan… .
While we were enjoying a simple Disney World meal, this real-life character jumped on our table and tried to steal our food! Yes, an adorable Disney squirrel decided that she must ALSO have a taste of that amazing Disney food. And we captured her hilarious antics on video!
Um…THIS HAPPENED.
The best part is DFB reporter Tina sweetly telling the intruder that she was sorry she wasn’t sharing her lunch

Now we want to reiterate that we did not feed the squirrel, and you shouldn’t feed people food to any wild animals at Disney World either (it’s not good for them). But we wanted to share this funny interaction with you in hopes it might put a smile on your face like it did ours! Here’s hopin’ this squirrel mama found some food soon thereafter. And we’ll keep you up to date on our WILD adventures in Disney World!

Rise of the Resistance’s boarding group process is showing the same unusual step pattern we saw yesterday, with a short delay every few boarding groups. It looks like some of these boarding groups are only open for about half an hour, too, so this might be some sort of technical issue either with the ride, with how MDE is reporting these data, or something else. Still, it looks like ROTR will get to boarding group 160 at this rate.

Summer is on the horizon, and Universal Orlando is bringing the flavor to a new food “festival.” Three venues have popped up around Universal Studios Florida, with a fourth reportedly on the way.

Today, we decided to Mobile Order some food from Cocina Cucamonga Mexican Grill, so that’s what we did! And once we arrived, we clicked on the “We are here, Prepare Our Food” option on the app. And then we waited…and waited…and waited…for AN HOUR. We noticed it wasn’t just us. There were TONS of people standing around waiting for their orders.
Waiting for food
The line waiting for food was backed up onto the bridge leading to Pixar Pier!
Backed up to the bridge
This also created problems with table availability — guests were at tables longer because the process of getting food took SO long. There are only certain areas designated for eating, too. We DID eventually get our food, but it took a while.
Eventually we got our food
As we typically say, we’d recommend eating at hours that aren’t popular lunch and dinner times if you’re using Mobile Order — those wait times for food will usually be lower. We’ll keep covering how Mobile Order is working at Disneyland and let you know about any other long waits, too!

So amidst our happy tears, we started to note some of the changes to the show since we last saw it. We knew it would return in a modified format, and that the new show would be called “A Celebration of the Festival of the Lion King.” But here’s how different the show is now.
Group Sizes
Currently, seating inside the theater is limited, and you MUST have your whole group together when you enter the theater.
All parties must stay together
Lines
In line, only four people maximum can stand on a social distancing marker, so larger groups will be split up. There is also no eating or drinking allowed inside the theater.
We’re going in…
Seating
Every other row inside the theater is sectioned off to allow for social distancing.
Every other row is closed
There are also certain sections of benches closed off, too. Basically, each section seats four people. So your party will be split up if it’s bigger than that.
This section is blocked
The Show
The show itself is also a little different to account for new health and safety guidelines. The choreography is now slightly different as it allows performers to be more socially distant.
There’s more space between performers
The show also no longer encourages guests to singalong. Instead, they are encouraged to wave and clap.
Singing along is no longer encouraged
The part of the show that names each section of the audience a different animal is no longer in the show and it it’s no longer referenced. We also noticed that guests don’t come out for the little parade section. The tumble monkeys are also gone.
It’s still a great show!
Also, the birds no longer fly, but they dance their feathers off!
Dancing birds!
There’s no audience participation as far as singing and walking around goes, but you can still clap and wave along with the actors! Also, all the songs are still there. And the guy with fire — he’s pretty cool! All in all, it’s still one of THE best shows on Disney World property. So even in its modified format, this show is still on our Do Not Miss List! Although it’s soft opened for now, it officially opens on May 15th.

With less than a week before its debut on Disney+, Disney Channel shared a sneak peek of the upcoming second season of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. The video features clips from the second season of the hit Disney+ series as well as interviews with members of the cast, including: Joshua Bassett Sofia Wylie […]
While we refer to Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser as a “hotel,” it’s actually more of an experience! It’s very much like a cruise in that guests will arrive and depart together for their 2-night stay. And in those 2 days, you can expect to participate in Star Wars activities and Star Wars activities only. There likely won’t be transportation over to Magic Kingdom, for example!
So WHERE will you stay? Aboard the Halcyon, of course! You’ll check-in at the Galactic Starcruiser Terminal and then enter a Launch Pod that will jump to hyperspace as you travel to your destination. And don’t forget — you’ll be able to travel straight to your “port stop”at Disney’s Hollywood Studios via another transport pod: the Chandrila StarLine!
And what’s super cool about your stay here is that it’s all connected into one big story — one that YOU have complete control of. So go forth and create your own Star Wars adventure! Every choice you make counts.
Your immersive experience touches every aspect of this adventure — including the guest cabins! And Disney’s given us a peek into one of those. On one side, you’ll have a bed, a pullout table, and a “window” looking out into space…
…while the other side features bunk beds with reading lights! Down that short hallway, you’ve got your exit to the rest of the ship and a door to what we’re assuming is the restroom.
The short answer is…Disney hasn’t announced that just yet. They also haven’t stated if you’ll be charged on a “per night” basis or for the entire experience — and if so, what, exactly, is included in that experience.
But it’s safe to say that Disney can likely charge more than they would for a typical deluxe hotel stay. When we asked our readers, they tended to think the cost would fall in the $1000-$3000 range. That seems like a safe bet to us — but we’ll wait for the official word from Disney!
You’ll be able to enjoy heavier offerings at the Crown of Corellia Dining Room, which will serve breakfast and lunch as well as a “lavish,” more formal dinner. There will even be live entertainment in the evenings!
We’ve already touched on some of the experiences aboard the Halcyon, but now we’re going to take a deeper dive! Like we mentioned, you’ll be able to interact with Star Wars characters, learn to operate the ship’s defense systems, and sneak around to have secret meetings. And Disney’s newest job descriptions give us a hint about exactly who we’ll encounter while onboard!
With the opening of Galactic Starcruiser inching closer, we’re sure we’ll hear LOTS more about what’s to come. And we’ll keep you posted with every little detail, so stay tuned to DFB!
