If you’re familiar with My Disney Experience, the app used to help plan and manage your Disney vacation plans, you’ll know that not all features are exactly user friendly. Now, the app has finally been updated and we love this user-friendly new option! Are you excited about the ease of this new feature? My Disney […]

We’re still not over Disney’s most recent (and EPIC) Marvel series on Disney+, Hawkeye! Poor Clint Barton was always sort of treated like a side character in the MCU, so we were happy that he finally got his time to shine. There have been SO many amazing Marvel series on Disney+, including Loki, WandaVision, and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Hawkeye was no exception. Did anyone else find themselves wishing they could shoot a bow and arrow by the time the show was over?
Who was your favorite character in Hawkeye?
But of course, no superhero story is complete without a sidekick, and that’s where actress Hailee Steinfeld’s character Kate Bishop comes in to help save the day (and the story!).
Recently, shopDisney tweeted out a preview of a NEW Kate Bishop Special Edition Doll coming soon. She’s poised and ready to shoot — watch out!

In honor of Kate Bishop, we should also take a moment to appreciate her costume. Everyone knows a superhero is only as good as their branding, after all! Luckily, Kate’s sporty purple jacket and black pants are both stylish and battle-ready. Not to mention that bow and arrow she’s holding are VERY cool!

Now, Disney’s new Kate Bishop doll is now available on shopDisney!

The doll is $49.99, and comes with a bow, arrow sheath, belt, and, of course, arrows!

We’re not sure how long this Special Edition doll will stick around, so make sure to check it out before it sells out!
Now, all we need is a Yelena doll… Disney, get on that, please! We’re always on the hunt for the latest Marvel merchandise and Disney news, so stay tuned for more!

If you’re heading to Disney World soon, one thing you’ll want to download ahead of time is the My Disney Experience app.
Magic Kingdom
This app is, in many ways, your “key” to the Most Magical Place on Earth. You’ll need to use this app to make Disney Genie+ Lightning Lane Selections and Individual Attraction Selections, make Mobile Orders, check wait times, and much more. And now one important part of the app just got easier!
When preparing to make Disney Genie+ Lightning Lane selections or Individual Attraction Selections (or virtual queue selections back when those were around), it’s critically important to connect your account with the accounts of all of your friends and family members that will be on the trip with you. If you’re not connected and all of your tickets are not connected, you won’t be able to let 1 person make the selections for all of you as a group, making things much more complicated.

Even if you’re just planning a trip with friends and won’t be using Genie+, connecting to each other’s accounts can make it easier to share plans and coordinate.
But just how do you connect to the accounts of friends and family members? Well previously you would go to your friends and family list, add a guest, and then you could send a request to connect. Now things got a little bit easier!
Animal Kingdom
Now, Disney has introduced a new feature called a Linking Code. To find your own Linking Code, tap on the 3 horizontal lines on the bottom right-hand side of the My Disney Experience app. Then hit “My Profile.”
©Disney
Once you’re there, go to “Show My Linking Code.” Disney will then prompt you with a warning explaining what the linking code is. Essentially it is a QR code. Once someone scans your Linking Code, you’ll be added to their Friends & Family list.
©Disney
Once you’re ready to see your code, you’ll hit “Show My Linking Code.” The app then creates a unique linking code — there’s a QR version as well as a manual code that your friends and family can type in. That code expires in 30 minutes.
©Disney | Note that the QR Code and Manual Code Would Show Up Here
If your friend or family wants to scan a linking code to connect to you (or you want to scan someone else’s linking code) here’s what you’ll do. First, tap on those three horizontal lines to the bottom right-hand side of the My Disney Experience app. Select “My Profile” and then “Friends & Family List.” You’ll then scroll down to where it says “Add a Guest.”
©Disney
After you do that it’ll ask how you want to add the guest — you’ll select “Scan their Linking Code.”
©Disney
Then you’ll scan your friend or family member’s linking code when they have it up on their phone, or you can manually enter the code.
©Disney
And then BAM, you’ should be connected!
©Disney
This could be a convenient way to quickly connect to friends and family so you can share your plans and coordinate things for your trip. If you try it, let us know your thoughts on the new offering.
We’ll continue to keep an eye out for more updates and we’ll let you know what we find. Stay tuned for more Disney news.

We’ve seen several buffets return to Disney World in the past few months.
Desserts at Biergarten
Boma at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge has breakfast and dinner buffets again, and family-style dining switched back to a buffet at The Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom. Cape May Café at Disney’s Beach Club Resort will have breakfast and dinner buffets again starting February 15th. And now, yet another buffet is back in Disney World!
Several breakfast items have returned to Ale & Compass Restaurant! The restaurant is located at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort.
Yacht Club Resort
Ale & Compass has been serving breakfast for a while, but now there are even more options to choose from. In addition to à la carte entrées, you can now “enhance” your breakfast with buffet items like pastries, fresh fruit, yogurt parfaits, and house-made cheddar biscuits with country gravy. Uh, YUM!
Let’s head in!
We headed into the restaurant to check out these returning items. When you sit down, you can choose from the normal entrées or go with the buffet option.
Table setting
The buffet is $23, and it includes seasonal fruit, assorted yogurt parfaits, chilled overnight oats, assorted breakfast pastries, house-made granola, cheddar biscuits with country sausage gravy, and warm cinnamon rolls. If you order the buffet, an entrée item and drink (coffee, tea, juice, or soft drink) are included as well.
Buffet menu
The buffet is walk-up, and you are required to wear a face covering while you’re up getting food.
Buffet
Once you have your plate full, you can head back to your table to eat. You’re welcome to revisit the buffet and grab more whenever you’re ready.
Dining room
On to what you really came here for: Let’s take a look at all of the items on the buffet!
Buffet
First of all, there are a few options for fresh fruit, including pineapple, strawberries, and grapes.
Fresh Fruit
There were also some whole fruits like apples, oranges, and bananas.

Then there are some parfaits, including blueberry and vanilla yogurt…

…and strawberry yogurt.

There was also a bowl of house-made granola that you could add to your parfait to make it a build-your-own treat.
Granola
The granola does contain nuts, and there was a sign next to it so that you can avoid those if you have an allergy.

Next up were some pastries, including croissants…
Croissants
…assorted muffins (which were blueberry and chocolate chip when we visited)…

Our plate
Breakfast is served at Ale & Compass from 7:30AM to 11AM every day. Ale & Compass Restaurant will also begin serving lunch again today, so if you can’t make it in the morning, pop over for a midday meal! Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news and updates.
