First Look at Exclusive Disney Wish Dooney & Bourke Tote, Loungefly Backpack, and Ear Headband

Disney Cruise Line has announced some of the shops that will be on the Disney Wish and gave a first look at the exclusive merchandise that will be available onboard.

Treasures Untold will be one of the stores in the shopping district of the ship between the Grand Hall and Walt Disney Theatre on deck 3.

Treasures Untold will be the go-to destination for signature Disney Cruise Line collectibles, including their largest selection of Pandora Jewelry ever, plus limited-time Artist Spotlight collections and guest-favorite Dooney & Bourke handbags.

In a new location on deck 5, returning Disney cruisers will find a familiar sight: Mickey’s Mainsail, a fleet mainstay filled with Disney Cruise Line-themed souvenirs and gifts, plus even more Disney Wish exclusives — like the special-edition Loungefly mini-backpack and headband above. And on the upper decks, Dory’s Forget-Me-Knots will feature swimwear, water-play gear, and fun graphic tees inspired by favorite Disney stories.

PHOTOS & VIDEOS: Tons of Fun Shenanigans Have RETURNED to a Popular Disney World Restaurant!

You can have all kinds of different experiences at Disney World restaurants, from character sightings to your food being lit on fire (yeah, really!).

Mickey!

There are even some restaurants where the servers are a bit sassy, like 50s Prime Time Cafe and Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen. Another spot where you could find this was Whispering Canyon Cafe in Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, but we haven’t seen all of the fun shenanigans from servers since before the pandemic began — UNTIL NOW!

The awesome antics are BACK at Whispering Canyon Cafe!

Let’s go!

If you don’t know, this restaurant traditionally has some hilarious servers who will liven up your dining experience with some jokes, jabs, and just all around over-the-top interactions. Most of this was dialed back though when the restaurant reopened after Disney World’s initial closures for the global pandemic. The servers were still being fun and sassy, but we didn’t see the full-scale antics that Whispering Canyon is known for.

But, when we visited today, more of the fun has returned!! When we asked for some ketchup at breakfast, we got a TON of bottles from other people eating in the restaurant!

The server also threw down a bunch of straws on our table when we only asked for one!

Do you think we have enough?

When one guest near us was on their phone when the server brought their drinks to the table, the server yelled for everyone to be quiet in the restaurant because they were on the phone. Then another server yelled to order them a pizza before they hung up and another said to put it on speaker so everyone could say hello!

One of the other great things that’s back is the comical sizes of drink refills they’ll give you. Sometimes they’ll give you a teeny tiny mason jar of your drink as a refill or an ENTIRE GALLON of your drink in a giant mason jar! Our server brought us both. 😂

The servers just generally love to give everyone a hard time at Whispering Canyon, in the most fun way! If you drop your fork on the ground, they’ll go grab you another one, and bring out a HUGE fork — they’re really into some ridiculously sized dining items over here!

That’s a LOT of soda!

We also witnessed one server singing a lovely version of “So Long, Farewell” from The Sound of Music to guests as they were leaving! All of this fun is in addition to the delicious food here, like the Burnt End Nachos.

We’re so happy almost all of the fun is back at Whispering Canyon Cafe! We still didn’t see any of the famous pony rides around the restaurant (yep, like on the toy stick ponies), but here’s to hoping they’ll come back again, too. If you like to be entertained while eating your meal, or just want a more unique dining experience, go on over to Wilderness Lodge to check this spot out. And, stay tuned to DFB for more Disney World food news and updates!

REVIEW: Fresh Breakfast Arepas and Delicious Dulce de Leche Cocoa Coffee Debut for New Morning Menu at La Isla Fresca During 2022 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival

The Caribbean-inspired outdoor kitchen, La Isla Fresca, at the 2022 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is now offering a special breakfast menu from park opening until 10:30 a.m. each day. The park is currently opening at 8:30 a.m. for all guests, with early entry at 8:00 a.m. After 10:30 a.m., the booth returns to its normal menu.

Breakfast Menu for La Isla Fresca at the 2022 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival

Food:

  • 🆕 Arepas with Egg and Cheese – $5.75
  • 🆕 Arepas with Chorizo, Egg and Cheese – $6.25

Beverages:

  • Tropical Breeze: Lemonade, Grapefruit and Simple Syrup – $4.50
  • 🆕 Dulce de Leche Cocoa Coffee – $5.00
  • Tropical Breeze with Don Q Límon Rum ($14/bottle) – $11.00

The Tropical Breeze is available all day. Read our review.

Photos of Menu Items from La Isla Fresca at the 2022 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival

*NEW* Arepas with Egg and Cheese – $5.75

These arepas are much better and fresher than what we had from the normal La Isla Fresca menu. We got the corn taste straight away.

It has a standard egg and cheese with queso fresco.

This is nothing outstanding but would be a decent snack during the early hours at EPCOT.

*NEW* Arepas with Chorizo, Egg and Cheese – $6.25

This is also an improvement from the regular options. It is the same as the basic egg and cheese but with added chorizo.

The chorizo adds a bit more flavor. The basic egg and cheese arepas are only seasoned with salt and paper.

It’s still nothing outstanding but will get the job done if you need a decent grab and go.

*NEW* Dulce de Leche Cocoa Coffee – $5.00

This is delicious. You get the notes of cocoa and sweet dulce de leche with a hint of cinnamon, thanks to a cinnamon stick dropped into the drink.

We thought it would be cold but it was served hot, which brings out the flavor notes better. You get a good balance of coffee and flavoring.

This feels more suitable for winter than summer, but we would get it again.

Overall

These are decent breakfast options. The sandwiches are nothing to write home about but there aren’t many grab-and-go breakfast options at EPCOT, so it’s great that they are now offering these. The coffee is the winner here but the sandwiches are fine too.

Location of La Isla Fresca at the 2022 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival

La Isla Fresca is located between the Morocco Pavilion and the France Pavilion on World Showcase Promenade. You can find it at number 10 on the map below.

With an entirely new menu, there are so many items to try! Be sure to head out to EPCOT anytime between March 2 to July 4 so you can check them out.

Walt Disney World Railroad Tunnel Expands Beneath TRON Lightcycle Run at Magic Kingdom

The Walter E. Disney locomotive has been testing new track of the Walt Disney World Railroad at Magic Kingdom, but the attraction is not yet able to open due to the construction of TRON Lightcycle / Run. However, the tunnel for the train beneath the new coaster is coming together.

On the Tomorrowland side of the coaster, the walls leading out from under the canopy are now fully shaped and encased in concrete.

Some rebar sticks out of the end of one wall.

A curved wall juts out from the tunnel. The tunnel walls have some square windows.

A rounded roof has been installed atop the other side of the tunnel, but this side is still open-air.

Crew members were working inside the tunnel, which doesn’t have track yet.

TRON Lightcycle Run concept art

Above is concept art for TRON Lightcycle/ Run, which shows the tunnel beneath the canopy.
