We’ve been reporting a lot lately on the relaxed COVID-19 safety measures around the Walt Disney World Resort, and today we spotted that the Frozen Ever After attraction at EPCOT has also had its physical distancing markers removed from the queue. Markers have been peeled up leaving a residue behind. Thankfully guests still appear to be somewhat safely distancing themselves from other parties while in the queue. Much like other attractions, the markers were removed outside, but not inside. We’re […]

When it comes to over-the-top snacks, Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew at Disney Springs knows how to truly go OVER the top.

And we’ve had some truly outrageous — and delightful — creations here. We have some seriously happy memories about trying our first Donut Grilled Cheese (don’t knock it until you try it), a donut that had a peep on it, and a coffee with tiny cookies IN it.

But today, we were here for the latest Everglazed donut creation — the B&G Burger. This is a burger with TWO Patties of ground beef, American Cheese, Ketchup, Mayo, Lettuce, Tomato, Bread and Butter Pickles on a sweet bun. But for $1 extra, you can get it on a Glazed Donut.

So yeah, we got this baby on a glazed donut because that’s how we roll. And this thing is HUGE, which means it’s easily shareable. It’s also VERY messy, but sometimes the messiest foods are the best, right?

And the burger did NOT disappoint. The saltiness of the burger ingredients combined with the donut (and we recommend getting that $1 upgrade) is the perfect combo of salty and sweet. 

The meat itself was well-cooked and juicy. And there was LOTS of cheese, and you know how we feel about that (hint: we’re here for it). It’s just OOZING with cheesy goodness.

This is one of those unique things that not everyone will want to try, but if you want to try something different and a little outrageous, we highly recommend it — it’s definitely not a regular old boring burger. And considering how big it is, it’s a good value at $14 (that includes the $1 upcharge for the donut bun upgrade).

We’ll continue to try all the goodies that Everglazed releases, so stay tuned for more reviews.

The unofficial kickoff to the summer season has arrived! With Memorial Day right around the corner, we can expect big holiday crowds at Disney World!

Park capacity is slowly increasing, but does that mean we’ll see additional Park Pass Reservation availability? Let’s take a look at that plus the park hours for the week of May 30th, 2021!

Disney World Park Hours the Week of May 30th

As far as park hours go, the week of May 30th is consistent with what we’ve seen so far this month. Next week, Magic Kingdom will be open daily from 8AM-9PM.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be open daily next week from 9AM-8PM.

Finally, Disney’s Animal Kingdom will be open each day next week from 8AM-7PM.

Remember that if you have the Park Hopper option on your tickets, you will be able to hop to as many parks as you would like after 2PM each day, as long as you have scanned into the first park for which you have a confirmed Park Pass Reservation. Speaking of reservations, let’s take a look now at next week’s reservation availability.

Disney’s new Cruella movie premieres today!

We’ve already been celebrating with plenty of merch — but Disney’s got some devilishly sweet treats in store for us, too. We shared a peek at ’em yesterday, and now we’re in Disney Springs to try one for ourselves!

At The Ganachery, you can pick up the XOXO, Cruella, which is a cookies and cream ganache pop!

You’ll get white chocolate with cookies and cream ganache, dipped in dark chocolate. And for a stylish touch, there are red fondant lips on top!

And folks, The Ganachery did it again. This was super tasty! It’s sweet, but not sickeningly so. It IS pretty rich, though, so we’re glad this is a tiny treat. We ate ours in 4-5 bites, and we wouldn’t have been able to handle much more because of that richness!

As for the cookies and cream flavor: it wasn’t overpowering at all, and that ganache had a deliciously creamy and smooth texture. If you love Oreos, you’ve gotta try this!

This is a great eat for those who like homemade chocolates or — like we mentioned — that cookies and cream flavor. If you’re into a saltier taste, try one of The Ganachery’s salted caramels instead! The XOXO, Cruella is $7 and will ONLY be available from May 28th-June 6th, so hurry up and grab one if you want to give it a try! And stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news.

The key celebrates the 55th Anniversary of the small world attraction at Disneyland. It comes in a decorative display box and is covered in adorable designs featuring the children of the world and various greetings.

It’s almost summer in Disney World!

The weather is getting toasty and Park Passes are filling up FAST as demand to visit is high. And if you’re stopping by Disney World in the next few months, you’ll want to know about some extensions to park hours!

Disney’s Hollywood Studios will have LONGER hours in June and July. For all of June, the park will be open from 9AM-8PM. Previously, the park was due to close at 7PM from June 27th-30th.

In July, park hours for the entire month have been extended from 9AM-7PM to 9AM-8PM. That’s an extra hour to hop aboard some of your favorite attractions (or chow down on some tasty treats!).

As a reminder, you’re able to Park Hop starting at 2PM each day, provided you have a valid Park Hopper ticket and the park has not reached capacity. If you’ll be swinging by Hollywood Studios this summer, enjoy that extra time in the park! And stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news.

We’ve seen some big changes to theme parks’ safety policies lately.

Today, Universal Orlando announced that they would no longer require masks indoors. This comes after both Disney and Universal have eliminated temperature checks, increased capacity, and reduced social distancing. But now, Universal Orlando is implementing yet another change.

Both Universal and Disney have recently reduced their social distancing from 6 feet to 3 feet. And now, new language on Universal’s website suggests that their social distancing policy may be eliminated altogether. When the website was edited to correspond with the new mask policy, the social distancing requirement changed from “3 feet” to “a safe distance.”

The updated safety guidelines now state, “We encourage all guests to keep a safe distance between travel parties.” There is no mention of exact measurements.

We’ll update you with how this new language is implemented in the parks — including if social distancing markers are removed. Meanwhile, Disney’s social distancing policy is still in place (and masks are still required there while indoors). We’ll keep a close eye out for any changes there.
