Golden Zephyr at Disney California Adventure will reportedly reopen on this upcoming Tuesday, June 15. Like many attractions, Golden Zephyr did not reopen with the rest of the park on April 30 and has been closed for over a year. It was closed due to weather most of Disney California Adventure’s final day open before the extended closure.
So color us intrigued when we popped over to Disney Springs and saw a sign for an Orange Cream Float at the Coca-Cola Store Rooftop Beverage Bar. Now we’ve had our share of Creamsicle-like treats recently, but this one is a little different. It’s made with Coca-Cola, Vanilla Ice Cream, and a whole Orange Cream Bar. Yes, you read that right — there’s a whole Creamsicle actually in it!
Not your typical Creamsicle float
So here’s the deal — the orange and Coke flavors are both strong and they tend to fight against each other with each sip. The vanilla ice cream adds a nice balance as the “cream” part of the drink, but this is going to be one of those drinks that only fans of strong and tangy flavors are going to enjoy.
A whole Creamsicle just stuffed in there
Things got messy when we tried to pull the Creamsicle out by its stick. The orange cream bar just kinda’ melts right into the drink (it’s summer in Florida — these things happen).
Messy and melty
We found out quickly that you just can’t pull the Creamsicle out to enjoy it on its own. Instead, it chose to become one with the rest of the drink. But maybe that’s the point. One thing we also noticed is that the orange flavor doesn’t meld with the drink until you scrape it off the Creamsicle and mix it up in there. So if you don’t want so much of the orange flavor, don’t do that.
Welp
It also comes with a Souvenir Glass, as well as a Souvenir bag, so for $12, it’s a pretty good deal.
Souvenir Bag
This drink is big enough to share, so if you’ve got someone with you who loves ice cream (or kids), you might want to let them have a taste or two.
We’ll keep trying out all the summer snacks and drinks at Disney World, so stay tuned for more reviews.

We’re talking about the arcades at Disney World hotels. We were at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort today and walked by the Iguana Arcade. And for the first time since the hotel’s reopening, the arcade was OPEN. So we walked in and looked around.
Time to get our game on!
There’s a sign in the front of the arcade informing guests that they must wear masks when inside and must maintain a physical distancing of six feet from other guests. Do note that mask requirements are changing June 15th.
Signage
Guests can also help themselves to free disinfecting wipes to wipe down surfaces on games.
Disinfecting wipes are available.
A hand sanitizer station is also readily available.
Hand sanitizer
The games are still pretty much organized like they were pre-closure. Machines aren’t distanced apart.
Games
Forget the quarters, though — arcade cards are required to play these games. There’s a card station that allows guests to get cards and put play points on those cards for certain amounts. They can recharge cards here with more play points, too.
Arcade Card Machine
This particular arcade is open from 8AM to 10PM.
Operating hours
We’ll be checking at other hotels, too, to see if arcades are open there, so if they are, we’ll let you know.

This past week was a big one for Food and Wine Festival news! The 2021 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival will kick off in just over a month — on July 15th, and last through November 20th, 2021.
Disney also shared some details about a live concert series that will be available for guests to enjoy at the Food & Wine Festival. These sound very similar to the ones that have been available throughout Flower & Garden.
We waited for a WHILE (12 hours) and then got through to a Cast Member. But, the Cast Member shared that they were unable to sell tickets because the large influx of calls took down the Ticketing line!The ticketing line was expected, however, to be back up soon. If you’re calling to book your BOO BASH tickets within the next few days, just be prepared to wait a while and potentially be faced with some complications due to the influx of calls.
If you have been waiting for more restaurants to reopen in Disney World or Disneyland, then you’re in luck!! Quite a few spots (including some big fan-favorites) will be reopening soon.
Distancing Changes Are Happening Throughout the Parks
We’re noticing quite a few changes being made in Disney World, so be sure to keep an eye out for updated signs throughout your trip to make sure you’re following all of the most current procedures.
While the hotel’s Disney Vacation Club Villas had been open for quite some time, the resort’s standard rooms had not been available. Now, the resort has fully reopened.
And that’s our wrap up of the big news this week. But, of course, there’s much more news where that came from. Here’s a peek at some of the other stories we shared this week:
And that’s it for us in terms of our weekly news wrap-up! We’ll be on the lookout for more news and we’ll be sure to sure that all with you throughout the next week. Stay tuned for all the latest from us here at DFB.
