The post A Popular Fast Food Promotion Is BACK! first appeared on the disney food blog.

Walt Disney Imagineering has released a slew of exciting images for the newly refurbished rooms available in the Toy Story Hotel at Shanghai Disney Resort.

Buzz Lightyear Exploration Room

According to the official release, the Buzz Lightyear Exploration Room “is designed to look like a spaceship playset.”

The room features a vibrant color palette and an image of Buzz Lightyear flying over two beds. The nightstand is modeled to look like a Rubik’s Cube.

The carpeting has a star and planet pattern in the bold yellow and green hues, and a sliding block puzzle with a Little Green Man hangs on the wall. A green and blue table with two chairs outfits this room as well.

The wall mural depicts a spaceship control center. Even the light fixture hanging above the table fits the color palette for this room.

The closet mural depicts a spare Space Ranger uniform as well as hangers, slippers, and a luggage rack. There is also a shelf at the top of the closet for additional storage. The ceiling is a vibrant purple with “vents” on the back wall.

The Toy Box Suite

The Toy Box Suite is set up to accommodate up to five guests. While just as well-themed as the Buzz Lightyear Exploration Room, it has a slightly softer color palette featuring orange and pale blue as the main colors.

The illustrated cloud pattern originally featured in Andy’s room in “Toy Story” not only papers the wall, but is also featured as the design inspiration for the primary light fixture in this room. A dark blue couch with a Woody’s Roundup coffee table are both placed in front of a cleverly-themed television with a child’s bed hidden behind it.

The electronics cabinet is modeled to look like blocks, and spells out “TOY” on one side. There is also storage beneath the television.

A door leads to an adjoining room, showing off a Rubik’s cube nightstand and more of the “Toy Story” cloud wallpaper.

Several playing cards featuring Woody, Jesse, and Bullseye are on the back wall over the couch. Striped floor-to-ceiling curtains cover a large window.

The television cabinet doubles as a hidden bed! Stairs rise along the left-hand side and a child’s bed is behind the divider.

The room also features a height chart with both imperial and metric measurements along each side. A counter with hotel amenities, such as paper cups, can be seen just around the corner.

A Little Green Man bean bag chair smiles from one corner of the room.

Guests will certainly feel they have flown to “infinity and beyond” with the intense attention to detail in the theming of these rooms. More details on the “Toy Story” Hotel and booking options can be found on the Shanghai Disneyland Resort site.

EPCOT truly is ever-changing.

From newer rides to construction updates and much more, there is a lot to see. If you are missing EPCOT, this is the post to help you feel like you’re there! Let’s see what’s new in this popular park.

Food

Creations Shop

We spotted Powerlimes at EPCOT, which first appeared as a gag in the queue for Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Disneyland. This Sour Lime Taffy is a reference to the Powerline pop star from A Goofy Movie, and we were SO excited to get our hands on these.

As of March 24th, these were sold out in EPCOT and the Cast Member we spoke to wasn’t sure when they’d get more in so be sure to check and see what things are like when you visit.

Construction

On the monorail we had a great view of the construction happening at Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana. Things are really coming along here.

We also got a peek at the Communicore Hall construction…

…and the construction happening near Guest Relations.

Speaking of construction, a new walkway has opened up between Spaceship Earth and The Seas with Nemo & Friends.

It connects World Celebration to World Nature and will hopefully help to alleviate some crowding in other walkways.

The post What’s New at EPCOT: A Colorful Loungefly Backpack You Don’t Want to Miss first appeared on the disney food blog.

Disney has access to so many different intellectual properties, from Fox to Star Wars, Pixar to Marvel, it’s easy to lose track of them all.

Perhaps one of the most overlooked and underappreciated, and dare we say, hidden gems of the Disney IP portfolio is The Muppets.

The Muppets have 10 feature films, five seasons of a variety show, an animated series, and some exclusive Disney+ features. And that doesn’t include the expanded Muppet family, like Sesame Street, Bear in the Big Blue House, and Dinosaurs.

The Muppets are an ensemble cast of puppet characters known for corny, sketch-style comedy. Created by Jim Henson in 1955, the Muppets have infiltrated American pop culture through television, film, and music. The Jim Henson Company sold the rights of the Muppets to the Walt Disney Company in 2004 under CEO Michael Eisner.

Throughout their almost seven decades in the entertainment industry, we’ve laughed with them, cried with them (mostly from laughing too hard), and even been inspired by them. So, we’ve compiled some of the best Muppet quotes throughout their long and illustrious career.

Miss Piggy

“I don’t care what you think of me, unless you think I’m awesome. In which case, you are right.”

“Beauty is all about loving who you are. And if you have a problem with that, may I suggest you try loving who I am?”

“There’s only one Miss Piggy, and she is moi!”

“I’m a pig, and as a pig, I have always stood out.”

“Express your feelings all of the time unless you’re trying to hide something.”

Kermit the Frog

“Life’s like a movie. Write your own ending.”

“Just because you haven’t found your talent yet, doesn’t mean you don’t have one.”

“It’s nice to be important, but it’s important to be nice.”

“Forget the map, roll down the windows, and whenever you can, pull over and have a picnic with a pig.”

“Here’s some simple advice: always be yourself. Never take yourself too seriously. And beware the advice from experts, pigs, and members of Parliament.”

“I’ve got a dream too, but it’s about singing and dancing and making people happy. That’s the kind of dream that gets better the more people you share it with.”

“Never worry about failure. It’s gonna happen. But that’s OK: Go ahead, take chances… and you might just find that what feels like failure isn’t failure at all, it’s what inspires you to dream even bigger.”

“He’s one of us. And no matter what happens, no matter what obstacles we face, we never forget one of our own.”

“Movin’ right along, footloose and fancy-free. Getting there is half the fun, come share it with me.”

“We were hugging because that’s what friends do! Friends do not spy!”

Sam Eagle

“It seems the words on my coffee mug are right: ‘It is hard to soar with Eagles when you work with turkeys.’”

“It’s called ‘A Salute to All Nations, But Mostly America.’”

“It’s a glorious three-hour finale!”

“Upon entering the theater, please move as far to the end of the row as possible. Stopping in the middle is distinctly unpatriotic.”

“You will love business. It’s the American way.”

Fozzie Bear

“What should you do if someone gives you a large boulder as a present? Take it for granite! Wocka! Wocka!”

“Patriotism swells in the heart of the American bear.”

“Ahh, a bear in his natural habitat – a Studebaker.”

Gonzo

©Disney

“There’s not a word yet for old friends who’ve just met.”

“Maybe we should add more special effects like exploding socks.”

Rowlf the Dog

©Disney

“When you’ve been tickling the ivories as long as I have, you’ve seen a broken heart for every drop of rain, a shattered dream for every falling star.”

“Why does everyone always blame dogs?”

“You can’t live with ’em, you can’t live without ’em. There’s something irresistible-ish about ’em. We grin and bear it ’cause the nights are long. I hope that something better comes along.”

Muppet Ensemble

“Si, and I’m so gosh darn sexy it hurts!” — Pepe the King Prawn

“Bork, bork” — The Swedish Chef

“Light the lamp, not the rat! Light the lamp, not the rat!” — Rizzo the Rat

“I don’t take my clothes off for anybody, even if it is artistic.” — Janice

“Thee lovers, thee dreamers, and cheeeeese… Nailed it.” — Constantine

“Keep believing, keep pretending; we’ve done just what we’ve set out to do, thanks to the lovers, the dreamers, and you!” — Muppet Ensemble

“Waldorf, you old fool! We’re Heroes! We saved the pig and the frog!” “Well, it was too late to save the movie.” –Waldorf & Statler

Muppets Fans! You HAVE to See Disney World’s New MagicBand!

Whether you looking for inspiration, a little chuckle, some poignant insight, or a witty comeback, the Muppets may have just the quote for the moment! And if you’re looking for more Muppet fun to infuse your day-to-day with, check out the extensive Muppets collection on Disney+, and don’t forget to pop by the Muppet Courtyard and watch Muppet*Vision 3D in Hollywood Studios during your next Disney World vacation. There are so many fun easter eggs and little hidden secrets in that corner of the park that you’ll reinvigorate your “Wocka-Wicka” and “Borking” in no time!

Are you the type of person to start planning your next Disney vacation while you’re already on a Disney vacation? Do you feel like it’s never too early to get excited about your next trip? Then we’ve got some exciting news for you!

Have you ever planned a trip on the Disney Cruise Line? Disney has released their itineraries for the 2024 summer season, along with important booking information, and you might just be tempted to book one once you hear the destinations. Here’s what you need to know.

Disney has released their summer 2024 itineraries and there are some exciting choices! Let’s take a look.

First, as part of the new bookings available for the summer 2024 season, you’ll be able to visit Disney’s NEW private island in The Bahamas — Lighthouse Point.

You’ll be able to check out this new beach retreat starting in June 2024 aboard the Disney Magic, which sets sail from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, or aboard the Disney Fantasy, which sets sail from Port Canaveral, Florida.

There will be an inaugural cruise on the Fantasy on June 8th. But there will also be a preview cruise on June 6th on the Magic. Just note that the preview cruise will only give you a “sneak peek” of the new private island with “limited access to some areas.” After the inaugural cruise, you’ll get to visit Lighthouse Point on certain 3, 4, and 5-night cruises.

There are also some new European destinations to choose from in the summer of 2024. The Disney Dream will be returning to locations in the Mediterranean, Greek Isles, British Isles, the Norwegian Fjords, and Iceland.

These options will feature some new ports of call, including Valencia, Spain; Haugesund, Norway; and Hamburg, Germany, along with some returning Mediterranean destinations that Disney hasn’t visited since 2014.

Disney Cruise Line will also be returning to Alaska next summer, aboard the Disney Wonder from May through September 2024.

Plus, the Disney Fantasy and Disney Wish will set sail to islands throughout the Caribbean and The Bahamas. All of the sailings on those ships (which are based in Port Canaveral) will visit Castaway Cay.

If any of these summer 2024 trips sound like your ideal vacation, you’ll be able to reserve your spot soon! Bookings open to the general public on March 30th, 2023. They do open a bit earlier if you’re a Platinum, Gold, or Silver Castaway Club Member, or if you’re a Golden Oak Member, Disney Vacation Club Member, or Adventure Insider.

Stay tuned to DFB for all the latest Disney news!
