disney college program logo dcp

The Disney College Program is returning this summer, and for the first time will have a gender-neutral housing option. As always, participants will have the opportunity to select a roommate. However, housing will be split based on vaccination status. Walt Disney World is not requiring either guests or Cast Members to be vaccinated, but participants in the Disney College Program will be required to indicate their vaccination status. This will not affect their hiring status, only their housing. Participants will […]

PHOTOS: You Seriously NEED to See the NEW Chip & Dale Outfits in Disney World!

We love spotting Disney characters out and about in the parks!

That’s a silly, willy, nilly, ol’ bear.

Whether they’re in cavalcades or we’re waving to ’em as part of a socially distanced meet and greet, it’s always fun to see our favorite pals. And we’ve seen some pretty rare ones lately! But now, we’ve spotted 2 mischievous little icons in a brand-new look.

You can usually meet Chip ‘n’ Dale at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on the lawn right outside of The Hollywood Brown Derby. They’ll have a picnic while they show off their acorns and give you a big ol’ wave!

It’s Chip ‘n’ Dale!

But today we spotted them in a new spot and the duo was looking a little…different. They were sporting their Chip ‘n’ Dale Rescue Rangers costumes!

Hey guys!

Chip was busy with his detective work in his Hawaiian top…

Chip’s detective costume is very incognito

…and Dale was ready to do some sleuthing on their latest case in his leather jacket and hat!

Cute ‘fit Dale!

If you want to see these cuties in their new ‘fits, you can check the area where the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular used to exit by Echo Lake. We sure were happy to spot ’em! And, if you’re not familiar with Chip ‘n’ Dale Rescue Rangers you can actually watch the entire series on Disney+ and catch up with the duo as they start their own detective agency.

As always, stay tuned to DFB for even more Disney news.

These Are the CHEAPEST Days to Visit Disney World This Year!

Let’s state the obvious — Disney World is expensive!

You’ll probably be saving up for this vacation!

Thankfully, there are several ways to save money on your vacation with various discounts and deals. However, you could also save a BUNCH of money by choosing your travel dates wisely. Disney operates with a date-based ticket system, so some days are much cheaper than others. Today, we’re sharing the list of the cheapest ticket prices for the rest of 2021!

Right now, we are just sharing prices for a single day, single park tickets. So prices will vary based on add-ons and the number of days you plan to purchase tickets for.

August

While Disney World is pretty busy during most of the summer, things start to quiet down a bit towards the end of August. When you take a look at ticket prices for August, you can save significantly if you travel towards the end!

Head to Disney World at the end of August to save big!

On the dates of August 23rd-26th and 30th-31st, a single-day, one-park ticket will only cost you $109. That’s a savings of nearly $25 a day when compared to some of the other days of the month!

September

When compared to other months, September is usually one of the cheapest to visit the parks. On September 1st-2nd, 7th-9th, 13th-16th, 21st-23rd, 27th, and 29th, you’ll also be able to snag that $109 price on one-park, one-day visits.

Hit the parks in September to enjoy them before the chaos of the 50th Anniversary.

The price is only slightly higher on the 20th and the 28th, with tickets each day costing $115. If you’re coming in fall 2021, September prices will be the lowest since the 50th Anniversary begins on October 1st (and prices skyrocket from there!).

Other Cheaper Dates

While they may not be THE cheapest, there are several other dates this year where you can visit and save a significant amount — especially when compared to high-profile days like the anniversary, Thanksgiving break, Christmas break, and New Year’s.

  • $120 for a single-day, single-park ticket on June 11th, August 16th, August 27th, September 3rd, September 6th, September 10th, and September 30th
  • $126 for a single-day, single-park ticket on June 1st-2nd, June 4th-10th, June 12th-19th, July 6th-18th, July 25th-30th, August 8th-13th, August 15th, August 17th-20th, August 22nd, August 29th, September 5th, September 12th, September 17th, September 19th, September 24th, September 26th
  • $129 for a single-day, single-park ticket on July 5th

Once October hits, the parks get more expensive for the rest of the year!

To put this into perspective, the most expensive one-day tickets so far this year are $159.

So if you’re looking to save some money on your Disney World tickets, the dates listed above are the days that you should visit! Keep in mind that these prices could change and prices get cheaper based on the number of days you purchase tickets for. And if you’re planning a visit soon, stay tuned to DFB for the latest news and updates from Disney World!
