A Favorite Disney World Treat Gets a New Twist for Father’s Day!

Remember a couple months back when we were raving about Disney’s caramel blondie??

Caramel Blondie

Now there’s going to be a new twist on this DELICIOUS treat — just in time for Father’s Day!

We’ve seen blondies in many forms throughout the Disney World parks: the giant caramel blondie we LOVED, last year’s Fourth of July blondie pops, and the Easter carrot blondies pops…just to name a few!

4th of July Blondie

In honor of Father’s Day, a new blondie is taking center-stage! The Father’s Day Blondie looks like it will be just as good as its predecessors, with a peanut butter flavor, chocolate caramel ganache, and a peanut butter crunch! YUM!

Does this peanut butter delight sound a little familiar to you? It looks like it might be similar to the peanut butter blondie you can get at Disneyland Resort!

When the Father’s Day Blondie comes out, we’ll make sure to let you know how they compare! According to the menu, you should be able to get the Father’s Day Blondie for $5.99 at The Market at Ale & Compass at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort and at Beach Club Marketplace at Disney’s Beach Club Resort!

FIRST LOOK at Menu for Maya Grill’s Reopening at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort

We’re looking forward to another restaurant reopening in Disney World!

Gran Destino Tower at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort

We’re getting EXCITED for Tusker House and ‘Ohana to welcome guests back, but over at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, Maya Grill is preparing for a big reopening, too! And now, we’ve got a look at all the menu offerings that’ll be up for grabs.

Maya Grill serves up the tastes of “Nuevo Latino” — and the reopening menu reflects that! For starters, we’re seeing some minor changes: Shrimp Mojo instead of Tempura Rock Shrimp; empanadas topped with spicy ranchero instead of chipotle, and the absence of the Queso Fundido.

There are also 3 new salads — the Traditional Taco Salad, Fiesta Salad, and Ensalada Caesar.

©Disney

We’re also seeing new plant-based Chicken Enchiladas! And as far as entrees go, there are plenty of new dishes. There will be a new burger (the Bacon Cheddar Burger) and sandwich (the Monterey Chicken Sandwich), while your rib-eye will be served in taco form instead of hand-cut.

©Disney

For sides, you can still snag the Chipotle Brussel Sprouts, Roasted Poblano Potatoes Gratin, and Yucca Fries (with, shockingly, a price decrease) — but now you can also opt for Plantain Rice, Seasoned French Fries, or Fried Plantains! That’s a LOT of options for your group.

Lastly, for dessert, the sorbet is stickin’ around, but you can also chow down on CHURROS! We do have to say goodbye, though, to that Ancho Creme Brûlée.

The kids’ menu looks much the same

©Disney

…and you’ve got a hefty list of specialty beverages (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic). There’s also a selection of beer

©Disney

wine

©Disney

hand-crafted cocktails

…and, of course, tequila! You’ve got TONS of choice when it comes to what to sip with your meal.

©Disney

Maya Grill will be reopening on June 24th at 5PM, for dinner only. We’ll be sure to stop by then and bring you a full review! As always, stay tuned to DFB for the latest Disney news.

VIDEO: Preshow Returns to Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway had barely been open a week when Walt Disney World closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Upon reopening, the attraction’s preshow was still operating with physical distancing. But it wasn’t long before this changed, and guests skipped the preshow altogether. Finally, with the reduction of physical distancing, the preshow has returned. The preshow was not running when we visited the park this morning. A Twitter user shared a video from the functioning preshow this afternoon.
