New stills featuring the Grand Inquisitor and Obi-Wan Kenobi in “Obi-Wan Kenobi” have been released by Total Film.
This one features the Grand Inquisitor with his double-bladed lightsaber extended.
This image features Obi-Wan walking a busy, bright city.
Finally, this still has Obi-Wan presumably in a Tatooine town, wearing a brown cape.
Obi-Wan and his lightsaber grace the covers of the upcoming Total Film issue, which will be available on Thursday, April 28. The first two episodes of “Obi-Wan Kenobi” will be available on Disney+ on May 27. Watch the first trailer for the new “Star Wars” series.
Another popular item people collect are Wishables! We’ve seen so many different Wishables collections, from the Disney Princesses to The Lion King to The Incredibles. And now, one popular collection has made its way over to Disney World!
Over in Magic Kingdom inside The Emporium, we found the mystery pack of Wishables.
Mystery packs
You have a chance of getting Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, or Sam Eagle in this pack, which was ringing up for $14.99 through the My Disney Experience app.

It’s hard to believe but we’ve reached the halfway point to Halloween and this year we’re celebrating like never before with a series of wickedly wonderful surprises leading up to a full day of #HalfwaytoHalloween fun and spellbinding Disney Parks announcements on Thursday, April 28!
Thursday, April 28, is the official halfway mark to Halloween, and Disney Parks has announced several offerings for the day.
Soon, Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort will reveal limited-time Halloween-inspired treats for #HalfwayToHalloween.
On Wednesday, April 27, Disney Parks will host a watch party on Twitter of a fan-favorite Halloween film (“Hocus Pocus” based on the Disney Parks Blog video). This will begin at 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT.
Halloween-inspired digital wallpaper art will be available on Wednesday, too.
On Thursday, Disney Parks will share Halloween announcements. There will also be a first-of-its-kind TikTok Live beginning at 10:00 p.m. ET / 7:00 p.m. PT. It will be the first time they are live from multiple Disney Parks locations and Disney Cruise Line.
By now you probably know that the FastPass system has been replaced with Disney Genie+in Disney World.
Disney Genie has launched!
We’ve been using Genie+ since its introduction in October 2021, and this new service can be a bit confusing! If you use it right, though, it could mean skipping a LOT of time in line in Disney World. So, if you’re considering the $15 to hop into the Lightning Lanes, you might want to check out five of the MOST important Disney Genie tips!
1. The value of Genie+ depends on your party and the day.
Alright, our first tip: The value of Genie+ depends on your party, your park, and the day. On an average day, you don’t NEED Genie+ to get through your must-dos and you won’t necessarily get through them any faster than someone with a solid park strategy will. It just gives you a little more downtime and less time in line.
Splash Mountain
That’s the key though, you DO need a solid park strategy to keep up with your must-dos if you don’t have Genie+ (and even with it sometimes!). Keep up with DFB for all the tips you need to make sure you hit EVERYTHING you want to during your Disney day.
Lightning Lane Entrance
On a crowded day though, Genie+ might save you a lot more time. If standby lines are longer, Genie+ could be more worth it. But keep in mind that there also might be more people using the service — making it harder to get the Lightning Lane times that you want.
Guest Experience Lines
Beyond that, we have to consider the price. $15 might feel like a small fee for one person, but if you’re a family of four it might not fit in your budget. $60 per day really starts to add up! And remember, there are Individual Attraction Selections in each park that are not included in Genie+ (Hint: These are the newest and most popular attractions). You will still have to book and pay extra for these pay-per-ride attractions if you want to skip the lines — even if you have already paid for Genie+. But also note that you don’t NEED Genie+ to purchase those attractions either. Individual Attraction Selection is its own beast.
2. Genie+ is more worth it in some parks than others.
Keep in mind that Genie+ is also more worth it in some parks than others. You may want to take it day by day versus adding Genie+ to your whole trip. You don’t want to spend the $15 per person to find that every line in EPCOT is under 15 minutes all day!
3. Book your next Lightning Lane as soon as you can!
You can book one Lightning Lane at a time with Genie+. You can book another immediately after you use your first OR after a 120-minute cool down — whichever comes first.
Genie
To make the most of your purchase, make sure you’re booking ASAP all day! After you scan through two turnstiles to get on a ride, you will be able to book a new Lightning Lane, so go ahead and do it! That way, you’re getting the earliest time possible.
If your window is more than 120 minutes out, set a timer on your phone for 120 minutes from your booking time. If you booked that Lightning Lane at 12:10PM, then you can book another (Even if you haven’t been able to scan in yet!) at 2:10PM. This is a great tool for those higher-demand rides.
Don’t forget you can totally look for earlier Lightning Lane times! If there are only far-out Lightning Lane times and you’re hoping for something more immediate, keep refreshing the page.
5. You CAN actually have more than one Lightning Lane at a time.
As we mentioned above, you can actually book more than one Lightning Lane at once if your day works out a certain way. Remember, you can book a new Lightning Lane when you use your last one OR after a 120-minute cooldown.
For example, if you book Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run for 6:30PM at 12:32PM, you’ll be able to make a new selection at 2:32PM — even if you haven’t used your Millennium Falcon one yet.
Millennium Falcon
So, if you make a Soarin’ Lightning Lane reservation at 2:32PM and use it immediately, then you can book another immediately without waiting two hours again. Your Millennium Falcon booking stays valid through all of this.
In the queue for Rise of the Resistance
Note! You can hold two Individual Attraction Selections at the same time, so you could hold those Lightning Lane reservations PLUS however many you can book with the 120-minute cooldown.
These five tips should be YOUR toolkit when using Genie+ in Disney World. As always, keep an eye on DFB to make sure you’re in the loop on all the latest and greatest updates.
Starting your day off in Disney World with a good breakfast is so underrated.
Mornings in Magic Kingdom are magical!
Nothing beats strolling through the parks with a full stomach after a delicious meal. NOTHING. (Well, at least according to us.) And why not go for a deliciously indulgent breakfast? It’s a vacation, after all! That’s why we like trying the massive Tonga Toast from Capt. Cook’s at Disney’s Polynesian Resort. We’ve tried it before, but we felt like it was time to check on this tasty meal again. So keep reading to see if this breakfast option is right for you!
The Tonga Toast from Capt. Cook’s is a pretty popular breakfast, and it’s not hard to see why. The Tonga Toast, which costs $10.49, is a banana-stuffed sourdough bread that’s deep-fried and dusted with cinnamon sugar. Just look at how HUGE this breakfast is!
Look how massive this thing is!
The outside crust is hard and slightly crunchy both from frying it and from that cinnamon-sugar coating. But the inside is gooey and fluffy, and the banana gives it perfect moistness (sorry, we had to use that word) to compensate for the hard exterior. The banana does give it a slightly sour taste, but overall we thought the Tonga Toast was as delicious as we remembered!
This meal also comes with your choice of bacon or sausage. We chose bacon! (Our philosophy is when in doubt…always choose bacon.) Big surprise…we loved the bacon, which provided even more crunch to our breakfast! And the savory side helped to balance out the very sweet toast.
We told you it’s massive!
With a critical eye, we can see a downside to this dish. The hard outside of the toast is a little tough to eat — especially if you have sensitive teeth. We also think that those who are looking for a more traditional breakfast (eggs, bacon, plain pancakes, etc.) might not enjoy this dish. Other than that, we really don’t see anything else that’s bad about the dish. It’s sugar, cinnamon, fried bread, and bananas…what could be better?!
LOOK AT THIS!
We think this dish is a great value for the price as well. If you’re just looking for a quick snack, the large size also makes it very shareable. As always, check back here for the latest Disney news!
