The Haunted Shack was a Knott’s Berry Farm classic from its opening in 1954, long before the theme park grew around Calico Ghost Town, to its closing in 2000. In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of Knott’s Berry Farm, the theme park has brought back a piece of The Haunted Shack. The original […]

On our most recent visit to Disney California Adventure, we noticed that the FASTPASS distribution machines were totally removed from the recently-reopened Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! From afar, nothing looked too different about the structure which normally houses the FASTPASS dispensing machines. FASTPASS has been suspended during the initial reopening of Disney California Adventure. When we approached the area, though, we noticed the devices were completely missing. Half a dozen of the machines are normally situated outside […]

After a long week, we can’t think of anything better than relaxing with our Disney favorites!
Let’s have a Disney weekend at home!
Put on your favorite Disney movie, make your favorite Disney parks recipe, and shop for some new Disney merchandise — courtesy of this week’s online merchandise update. There are tons of new items that dropped this week, and we’re here to share them all with you!
This week, The Little Mermaid Stitch Crashes Disney collection made its way online and it’s surprisingly kinda cute! (Some of these series have been pretty creepy.)
This month’s plush is HUGE.
Several of the items sold out quickly online and in the parks, but you may still be able to find what you want. Make sure to check out our post below with links to all the items!
Disney has several movies coming soon, and they’re getting us prepped for these big releases by dropping merchandise online ahead of time! The live-action Cruella is premiering next week, and there’s a brand-new collection of items for fans. BUT, you better be willing to pay a hefty price tag!

There’s also a bunch of new items to celebrate Pixar’s Luca, releasing on Disney+ this summer.

We can’t decide which one we’re more excited about!
If you’re on the hunt for the perfect Disney backpack, then stop right there! Danielle Nicole just dropped two new bags, and they’re themed to two VERY different movies.

If you’re in the mood for something tropical and laid back, then you can get the Moana backpack.
However, if you’re a more whimsical person, then maybe the Alice in Wonderland design is more your style.

They’re both quite fun and detailed!
Just because The Falcon and the Winter Soldier has drawn to a close doesn’t mean we have to quit talking about the show non-stop! Disney proved that point this week when they dropped a bunch of new tees specifically for fans of the show.

We’re really loving that sorcerer shirt! 
If you need these as much as we do, then make sure to order them before they’re gone!
If you’ve jumped on the Squishmallow trend, then you’ll be happy to know that we found two Disney designs online this week!

You’ll have a choice between the Stitch plush and the Buzz Lightyear plush.

Anyone else getting strong Tomorrowland vibes? They’re both just too cute!
Do you have a little one who’s learning how to eat on their own? Then you need to get them this Mickey Mouse First Feeding Set by Bumkins.

The sets come with a Mickey-shaped bowl and matching spoon and they’re the perfect Disney-themed tool for teaching your kiddos how to feed themselves.
And last but not least, you can start prepping for the Halloween/Christmas season with a collectible based on the hit film, The Nightmare Before Christmas.

The set is available for pre-order now, and it won’t be released until August of this year. There are only 3000 sets out there, so place your order quickly!

Disney keeps dreaming up different things to do with the ever-so-famous Dole Whip. And you can’t forget about the totally DELISH Citrus Swirl.
Citrus Swirl
You can find several Dole Whip and Citrus Swirl creations at Sunshine Tree Terrace in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland. We tried one of their more unique offerings recently and are here to tell you all about it!
The Powerade Mountain Berry Blast Float combines the famous blue sports drink with a float of your choosing! You can get it served with different Dole Whip, Citrus Swirl, or soft serve flavors. The options are all listed on Mobile Order. We chose to get ours with a Citrus Swirl!
Mobile Order
The colors and flavors SCREAM summer!
These colors are so tropical!
The berry-flavored Powerade was well balanced by the tart flavor of the citrus swirl.
So photogenic!
The drink was super refreshing and would be amazinggg on a hot day in Adventureland! A perfect cool down for those scorching Florida summer days!
There are so many options to customize your Dole Whip and Citrus Swirl to make it whatever you’re craving for that day. Just check Mobile Order when ordering and get to customizing. You can read about some of our favorite Dole Whip flavor combos here.

We’re less than one month away from June 15th, which is the date that the state of California intends to fully reopen its economy, which will end their “Blueprint for a Safer Economy.”
Tier Map as of May 11th ©COVID-19.CA.GOV
This Blueprint is the name for California’s color-coded tier system that has been used since last year in determining things like capacity restrictions, what kinds of businesses can be open, physical distancing policies, and more. With the Blueprint ending next month, many have wondered what, if any, policies will be in place after June 15th.
The California Department of Public Health released new details on what new policies will be in place on June 15th. While most industries and business sectors can resume normal operations, including no capacity restrictions or physical distancing measurements, there will be certain restrictions to both indoor and outdoor “mega events.”
Source: California Department of Public Health
What exactly is a mega event? According to the state, a mega event involves large indoor gatherings of at least 5,000 attendees, or large outdoor gatherings of at least 10,000 attendees. Examples of a large outdoor mega event include music or food festivals, concerts, marathons, parades, and sporting events.
Physical Distancing Signage at Disneyland
For indoor mega events, “verification of fully vaccinated status or pre-entry negative test result is required of all attendees” according to the California Department of Public Health. For outdoor mega events, vaccination verification or a negative COVID-19 test is strongly recommended. While theme parks are not included in the state’s list of examples of a “mega event,” it is something we’ll certainly keep our eyes on!
Sign outlining Disneyland’s face mask mandate
These requirements and recommendations will be in effect starting on June 15th and will continue through October 1st, 2021. By September 1st, the state will determine if updated requirements will be necessary beyond October 1st.

Just a few months ago, we were wondering what it would take to get watermelon DOLE whip in Disney World, and then BAM! Our wish was granted!
Watermelon Dole Whip!
We’ve already tried the secret menu Minnie Dole Whip Watermelon Cup (which didn’t exactly taste like watermelon to us…) and we grabbed a cup FULL of watermelon dole whip on its own earlier this year. But now the snack will be coming BACK in a special way!
Earlier today, Disney announced that watermelon DOLE whip is coming BACK to Disney Springs at Marketplace Snacks.
And there will even be a special DOLE Whip Watermelon Parfait with Key Lime Custard that will be available starting May 26th.

Now, we’ll be honest, the last few times we had the watermelon DOLE whip, it tasted more like bubblegum than watermelon. The flavor was a little more artificial than we had hoped for.
Will the watermelon DOLE whip taste different this time around? Will the key lime custard change the flavor of this treat and make it a new favorite for us? We’ll just have to try it to find out!

If you want to grab some watermelon DOLE whip or this DOLE Whip Watermelon Parfait with Key Lime Custard, be sure to stop by Marketplace Snacks starting May 26th. And stay tuned to DFB for more food news and reviews.

The state of California is planning on fully reopening its economy on June 15th, effectively ending most pandemic-era restrictions on businesses and in public areas.
Disneyland
While the full extent of how the Disneyland Resort could change after June 15th has yet to be shared, Orange County Register has reported about one of the big changes both guests and Cast Members can expect.
On June 15th, the Disneyland Resort will end temperature checks for both their visitors and their employees. For guests, this includes the temperature checks at the Pixar Pals parking structure, the Downtown Disney entrance, and the Harbor Boulevard entrance.
Mickey & Friends Parking Structure
According to Orange County Register, Cast Members will still be required to conduct at-home health checks before arriving for work, which includes temperature screenings. Over on the east coast, Disney World recently ended their temperature check protocol for both Cast Members and guests.
Mickey and Friends Parking
We’ll keep an eye on any additional developments coming out of the Disneyland Resort in the coming weeks as we approach June 15th! Be sure to follow along for all of the latest news.

The latest MagicBand to hit shelves at Walt Disney World has left us feeling strange… but that may just be because it features the stars of Gravity Falls! This red MagicBand features three of the stars of the cult hit TV series that ran from 2012 to 2016. On one end, Dipper’s looking a bit odd (thanks to the holes to adjust the band). And on the other side, Mabel and her pet pig, Waddles, smile happily. The MagicBand retails […]
