Learn To Draw Five of Our Favorite Disney Princesses

World Princess Week was fun, but sadly, the festivities have come to an end. Luckily you can find Princesses celebrated in the Disney Parks every day. For more details on where you can find your favorite Princess characters, check out our guides for each park here. As a last activity to celebrate our royal friends, I thought we might take a few moments to learn how to draw some of our favorite Princesses from the Disney Princess YouTube channel. Choose from Moana, Rapunzel, Ariel, Jasmine, and Belle, and try these out with your family. You might even discover a hidden talent for drawing.

Disney Lorcana shopDisney Launch Time Announced, Tournament Guidelines Coming Soon

We now know exactly what time Disney Lorcana will be available for purchase on shopDisney, and more rules have recently been revealed. Ravensburger’s first-ever trading card game was available to Gen Con 2023 guests and then released at local game stores on August 18 with dauntingly limited supplies. It will have a wide release on September 1.

shopDisney Release

Disney Lorcana will be available on shopDisney at 12:00 a.m. PT on September 1. A Disney Lorcana landing page features the game’s first story teaser and a list of products that will be available:

disney lorcana starter decks 1

Starter Decks
To play Disney Lorcana, each player will need a deck of 60 cards. Ready-to-play starter decks contain a preconstructed deck with a specific card list. If you’re new to trading card games, or if you want to experience the game with a deck designed and tested by Team Lorcana, this is a good place to start.

Gift Set

Playmats
Each playmat features striking artwork of Disney characters. A fabric top prevents damage during gameplay and can also be used as a desk mat or mouse pad, while the anti-slip bottom keeps the mat in place during use. The first Disney Lorcana playmats will feature Maleficent, Maui and Mickey Mouse.

Portfolios
Players can safeguard their collection with portable card portfolios, which hold 64 standard cards as well as eight oversized cards. The first Disney Lorcana card portfolios will feature Stitch and The Queen.

Disney Lorcana will also be available at stores like Best Buy, where pre-orders are already open.

When Ravensburger chose to give the game first to local game shops, it withheld Lorcana stock from mass markets like Target, Walmart, and Best Buy; however, to hit shelves on September 1st, shipments to these big box retailers have to arrive to the stores prior to that date to be stocked. Whether intentional or not, Florida, Idaho, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Louisiana have Disney Lorcana product for sale at big box stores.

Lorcana: The First Chapter starter decks and booster packs were spotted at a South Carolina Walmart store. The booster packs (MSRP $5.99) were being sold for $7, and the starter decks (MSRP $16.99) were being sold for $20 each.

In addition to releasing several days before the approved September 1 date, the image from BSquared24 on X above shows the gift set price below the product as $34.98 in Ruston, Louisiana. This is a markup from the MSRP of $29.99.

Disney Lorcana Match Guidelines

The Enlightened Illumineers host Trey (@Cabled on Twitter) shared end-of-time rules they learned from the Disney Lorcana HQ Discord.

Here is their message in full:

We finally have confirmation how to handle end of time for Lorcana. No matter what type of tournament (swiss or top cut elimination) after the 50 mins are up you do +5 turns. Meaning current player is at turn 0, then next is turn 1, then turn 2, etc.. until you get to 5. Making it so each player has 3 turns.

If you are playing regular swiss rounds, Lore total is not used at all for any game. This may result into ties a lot.

If you are in single elimination top cut. You will use Lore total for Games 1 and Game 3. However for Game 2 if no one out right wins that game then the winner of Game 1 wins, you don’t use Lore Total to see who wins for Game 2.

What does using Lore Total mean?
If a player is at 19 Lore and the other is at 18 at the end of +5. The player at 19 Lore will win that game

Disney Lorcana also said tournament guidelines would be available soon on a resources page.

Two Shows Were Just Canceled on Disney+

Are you a Disney+ subscriber?

©Disney

If you’re here, that means you’re probably a Disney fan, so we’re guessing the answer is probably “yes.” Disney+ has some pretty awesome original content, including NEW Star Wars shows (have y’all SEEN Ahsoka? SO GOOD), Marvel shows, and some fun kid’s programming. Plus, there are so MANY shows on the way, although one of those just got canceled before it ever even premiered. 

Back in 2021, Disney announced that it was working on adapting the popular Spiderwick Chronicles book series into a show on Disney+. Disney even shared concept art to get fans excited.

©Disney

Well, Disney has since decided not to move forward with that series on Disney+, according to Deadline. This comes after all eight episodes of the series have been filmed. But don’t worry — the series is being shopped around to other streamers. According to Deadline, Disney is going to focus more on its own IPs for upcoming series on the streaming service.

©Disney

But that’s not the only series getting the axe at Disney+. According to Variety, Disney has also announced that its Doogie Howser reboot, Doogie Kamealoha, M.D., will be canceled after just two seasons. That series, which was set in Hawaii, followed a 16-year-old prodigy building a medical career, just like in the original Doogie Howser series.

©Disney

Disney announced earlier this year that it had plans to cut its spending by $5.5 billion, including a whopping $3 billion in non-sports content. So it’s likely that this is all part of Disney’s current cost-cutting plan to help CEO Bob Iger achieve his goals with streaming, which he has previously said is his #1 priority at the company.

©Disney

We’ve also recently seen some shows and movies on Disney+ disappear from the subscription service in an effort to trim costs. We’ll have to see if more disappear from the service and see if any other original series get canceled. We’ll keep an eye on the situation, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

A BRAND-NEW Disney World Restaurant Officially Opens This Week!

There are several new restaurants opening this year in Disney World, including The Cake Bake Shop at Disney’s BoardWalk and Summer House on the Lake in Disney Springs.

EPCOT

Those are likely going to open in a few months, but there’s one new EPCOT restaurant that’s opening THIS WEEK!

Technically, Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya is already open…sort of. Let us explain.

Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya

This new spot in the Japan pavilion in EPCOT’s World Showcase “soft-opened” several days early and has been open for walk-ins from 12PM to 9PM daily. However, it’s going to OFFICIALLY open soon!

Inside Shiki-Sai

Shiki-Sai is officially opening on August 28th, 2023. Reservations are open now, so you can book your spot ASAP! Although you can walk in to dine here now, there are no reservation spots available until the 28th.

Dining at Shiki-Sai

We already stopped in to try out the new eats, so you can check out our FULL REVIEW to decide whether you want to make reservations.

Click here to read our Shiki-Sai restaurant review!

The menu at this restaurant features Japanese cuisine such as sushi and teppan items, plus an open sushi bar and grill. The style of dining is Japanese Izakaya — a type of casual pub-style experience that puts an emphasis on drinks and conversations with friends.

Violet Yuzu Lemonade

Izakaya menus typically feature small dishes, and that is the case at Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya, too. Karaage Chicken, Salmon Misoyaki, and Tomato Salad with Avocado are among the Izakaya (sharable) plates.

Grilled Wagyu Gyoza

At the open sushi bar, you’ll find highlights like the Kobore Sushi, the Tokyo Negi Roll, a Monster Roll, and the Funamori (sushi boat with a presentation of sashimi and sushi).

Fune Boat at Shiki-Sai

Shiki-Sai also celebrates seasonal Japanese festivals with changing menu items and decor at different times of the year “from hanging tanzaku to celebrate Tanabata in July to savoring moon-viewing dumplings in September.”

Tanabata tree

The restaurant is located in the Japan Pavilion, on the second floor — above the Mitsukoshi Department Store (in the location of the former Tokyo Dining restaurant), providing views of World Showcase Lagoon and — when the timing is right — fireworks!

Look at that view!

There are some cool details to check out inside the restaurant, like the fake windows that put on a fireworks display of their very own.

Another great “view”

RUMOR: Will Taylor Swift Appear as Dazzler in Deadpool 3?

The latest rumor regarding the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s “Deadpool 3” film is revolving around the notion that Taylor Swift may portray Dazzler, a superheroine often in assocation with the X-Men.

Taylor Swift as Dazzler?

Erik Davis of Rotten Tomatoes and Fandango took to X (Twitter) and shared he had a conversation many years ago with the director of “Deadpool 3,” Kevin Feige, where Feige revealed that he is a big fan of Dazzler. He stated that, if he were to ever direct a Marvel movie, he would want to focus on the character.

This rumor originated back in the X-Men era, when Taylor Swift was seen spending time with several members of the main cast working on “X-Men: Apocalypse;” the original rumor began with a post by Simon Kinberg, writer for “X-Men: Apocalypse,” seen below:

The pop superstar appeared here with James McAvoy (Professor X), Sophie Turner (Jean Grey), and Kinberg. When rumors began circulating back in 2015 after this photo was posted, MTV News directly spoke to Kinberg, who said that Swift was never been involved with “X-Men: Apocalypse” and the photo was taken backstage at a Taylor Swift concert.

In the same interview, however, Kinberg commented on the rumors, saying, “After I saw those things I was like oh, that’s kind of interesting, but no, we were actually just there for her concert.” With Kinberg writing for “Deadpool 3,” Davis’s assertion that Feige would like to focus on Dazzler has reignited this particular rumor.

Earlier in August, Screen Rant shared some fan art from Instagram user defendisinart depicting Swift as the character.

Taylor Swift is friends with “Deadpool” star Ryan Reynolds, too, who famously loaned his costume to her during Halloween in 2016.

Deadpool 3

“Deadpool 3” will be the first of the series that is officially part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It will also be the MCU’s first R-rated film. It was announced last fall that Hugh Jackman would return as Wolverine in this third entry. Jackman originally ended his time as Wolverine after “Logan” in 2017.

In April, the return of Morena Baccarin and Stefan Kapicic was also announced, portraying Vanessa and Colossus, respectively. Ryan Reynolds then proclaimed reprisals for Karan Soni as Dopinder and Leslie Uggams as Blind Al.

Filming for “Deadpool 3” was halted in July as part of the SAG-AFTRA strike. The film is still slated to premiere on May 3, 2024, though this could now be delayed.

Jollywood Nights Is Selling Out in Disney World

Yes, we’re in the middle of spooky season at Disney World, but we are already looking forward to the holidays.

Hollywood Studios Christmas tree

Although it seems so far away, it won’t be much longer before we’re knee-deep in Disney World’s holiday season, eating our way around the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, visiting with Santa, and buying holiday merchandise. This year, though, something NEW is coming to Disney World: a new After Hours party in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Now, that event already has its first sold-out date.

That separate ticketed event is Jollywood Nights, a brand new After Hours party scheduled for select nights in Hollywood Studios from November 11th through December 20th. Well, the FIRST Jollywood Nights party is officially sold out for November 11th.

©Disney

However, other dates are still available, but as this party is NEW, we may begin to see more dates sell out as we get closer to the holiday season. The event includes special fireworks and projections, exclusive treats, rare characters, unique entertainment, a LIVE Muppets holiday special, and more!

©Disney

There will also be access to rides, live music, and a Nightmare Before Christmas sing-along with Jack Skellington. Meanwhile, the Hollywood Brown Derby will transform into a speakeasy-inspired jazz lounge, while The Hollywood Tower Hotel Courtyard will host an “other-worldly soiree” with a ghostly band.

Jollywood Nights

Tickets range in price from $159 to $179 per person, depending on the date. Like we said, if you’re interested in going, it’s best to get those tickets SOON!

Tickets are also still available for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom, so if that’s more your speed, check that After Hours event out, too.

We’ll be keeping an eye on ticket availability for both events, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

Ranking EVERY Menu Item at Les Halles in EPCOT

EPCOT is known for some great food, beverages, and festival concerts, but do you really know what to grab when you’re looking for a super quick bite?

France Pavilion

It’s hard to ignore the eats at Connections Eatery and the festival booths that vary depending on when you visit, but if you find yourself wandering the World Showcase in search of another quick bite, we’ve got just the place for you to stop by!

Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie is the counter service restaurant located toward the back of the France pavilion in EPCOT. Unless you’ve found yourself strolling the pavilion or catching the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along, chances are you’ve strolled right past it!  This patisserie offers an extensive menu of sandwiches, pastries, desserts, and more, so we can see why it’s so well-loved!

Les Halls

When you step inside you can see all the things to eat in the display cases, from savory sandwiches, cheeses, and bowls…

Sandwiches

… to sweet, warm pastries and treats! So if you’re wondering how could you possibly choose just one thing you’re not alone! However, if you’re only looking to grab one or a few things to try out and are wondering which are the best, don’t worry we’ve taken the guesswork out for you.

MORE treats

We’re ranking EVERYTHING at Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie, now let’s dig in!

Jambon Beurre

The Jambon Beurre (which literally means ham and butter) is a sandwich made with Ham, Cheese, and Dijon Mustard Butter on a Demi Baguette. You can have this sandwich served to you toasted or cold, but we have preferred this one served to us cold.

Jambon Beurre Sandwich

It’s a fairly simple sandwich, which is why we keep coming back for it. We like that this sandwich is dressed with butter rather than mayo, and that it features thickly sliced ham, and Gruyère cheese. If you’re looking for a complex array of flavors, you’ll get your money’s worth in this sandwich.

Brie au Pommes

The Brie au Pommes  (which translates to brie with apples) sandwich is made with Brie, Apples, and Cranberries on Multi-Grain Bread. This is the sandwich that evokes a true Parisian experience.

Brie au Pommes

The sliced brie combined with the sliced apples is a winning combination for us. If you’re really looking to plus up your experience, try it heated! The soft brie really gets to melt with the sweet apples and it’s nothing short of delicious.

Croque Monsieur

The Croque Monsieur sandwich is a French take on a toasted ham and cheese. It’s made with a bechamel sauce and extra toasted Gruyere cheese on top, which makes it equally filling and delicious!

Croque Monsieur

As a heads-up, this is one sandwich you’ll want to try warm, and then come back and tell us how well you liked it, too.

Baguette

Baguettes are served in a full or half-cut and are the epitome of French breads at Les Halles. You can count on them always being fresh, and they are one of the cheapest snacks you can find in all of Disney World.

Baguette

This is a reliable fan favorite that has kept people flocking to Les Halles for a savory snack any time of the day.

Viennoiserie Pomme

The Viennoiserie Pomme is an apple pastry in a fluffy, buttery croissant with an apple pie-like filling. The filling also has cinnamon and contains walnuts and almonds.

Viennoiserie Pomme

The top crumble portion tastes like a sort of oat crumble with cinnamon. Inside the pastry, you’ll find really BIG chunks of cooked apple. The last time we tried this treat it was served to us at room temperature, but we can imagine the flavors (and smells) really developing when warmed up!

Pissaladiere

This savory snack is like France’s version of a pizza. It’s made out of focaccia-like bread topped with cheese, fresh tomatoes, olives, and herbs.

Pissaladiere

We recommend you ask for this to be toasted, as it really helps raise the flavor. The focaccia-style bread makes this snack feel like a personal pan pizza with less sauce.

Tartine Aux Fromages

This beauty is tomato sauce, basil, and cheese (including a whole round of goat cheese) piled on French bread and toasted. The sauce tastes fresh and slightly sweet, and the basil shines through in each bite.

Cheese Tartine

If you’re a goat cheese lover, you’ll really enjoy the giant slice on the top, and if you’re not, it’s easily removed should you wish to enjoy the Tartine without it.

Croissant Jambon Fromage

The savory Croissant Jambon Fromage (croissant with ham and cheese) is another ssnack with stellar value — all the more so because it’s has creamy bechamel sauce, too, just like the Croque Monsieur! The ingredients here are as high quality as we expect from Les Halles — and this sandwich is super cheesy!

Croissant Jambon Fromage

This one is a meal in itself.

Quiche Lorraine

The Quiche Lorraine is made with ham and gruyere cheese, as well as the eggs and cream you typically find in a quiche.

Quiche Lorraine

We think this one is simply delicious as a breakfast option and beg you to try it for yourself.

Florentine Quiche

This spinach and egg custard is topped with a generous pat of creamy goat cheese and then baked in a buttery crust.

Quiche Florentine

If a cast member asks you if you’d like to have it toasted we highly recommend that as it will help bring those cheesy flavors to the forefront.

Croissant Salé

The Croissant Salé is a combination of Eggs, Cheese, and Bacon served on a buttery Croissant. You can have it toasted or served cold, but we’ve preferred to have ours toasted.

Croissant Sale

Inside the flaky croissant, you’ll find the stacked Swiss cheese, egg, and multiple slices of bacon — which is basically a whole breakfast meal wrapped up in a bite, so yummy.

Pain Lard Fromage

This bacon and cheese roll has changed names a few times at Les Halles, but most recently has been dubbed the Pain Lard & Fromage. You may also remember it in a different shape with significantly less bacon… but we’re happy to report that has changed.

Pain Lard au Fromage

This entire snack is made of bacon, cheese, and bread so what’s not to love here? When Disney answered our collective cry for more bacon and delivered that significantly catapulted its ranking in this list.

Bisque de Homard

The Bisque de Homard, or Lobster Bisque in a Bread Bowl, is fairly reasonably priced for a filling and savory meal. On a cooler day, this hearty meal is like a warm hug and knows just how to hit the spot.

Bisque de Homard

If you’re a fan of bread bowls and lobster bisque we think you will love this dish!

Poulet au Pistou

Pesto lovers this one’s for you!  The Poulet au Pistou (aka pesto chicken) is made with Chicken Breast, Cheese, Tomato, Red Onion, and Pesto. This sandwich comes in around a whopping six inches in diameter!

Poulet au Pistou

Not only is it a fully stuffed sandwich, it can be easily shared and is a real value if you plan on picking up a treat for dessert too!

Croissant

The classic pastry, the Croissant, is about as delicious as you can imagine. It’s got all the right buttery flavor mixed into each flaky bite. You can opt to have toasted or eat it as it is.

Croissant

It’s just the right size (and price) to help you feel satisfied with a snack and still leave some room for dessert!

Eclair Chocolate

If you opt to pick up one of the chocolate eclairs you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

Eclair Chocolate

The dough on these are fresh, tender, and light. You can also really tell there’s a lot of eggs and butter put into these from the overall yumminess of the pastry itself.  The chocolate topping hints at the sweetness that awaits you, but when you take a bite you’re hit with an incredibly deep, rich, chocolate filling.

Chocolate Caramel Tarte

This treat is a mini-pie filled with caramel cream and topped with chocolate mousse and chocolate decoration.

Chocolate Caramel Tarte

You would think that the star of this one would be the chocolate mousse but it’s really the caramel cream. It closely resembles a custard, and the golden, buttery flavor of both the caramel and the crust paired with the mousse gives that bite of something sweet with just a hint of salt, all wrapped up in a fun presentation.

Beignet

Most people don’t realize that you can get a Beignet in EPCOT’s France, but it’s true! The Beignets here are filled with chocolate and hazelnut, making a perfect mixture of sweet flavor.

Beignet from Les Halles

These pastries are fresh and light and just melt in your mouth. The only reason this one ranks where it does on the list is because it is really sweet, like a filled donut, and may be best enjoyed splitting it with someone else.

Pain au Chocolat

The Pain au Chocolat, also known as a chocolate croissant, is another crowd-pleaser. It’s pretty straightforward in its description and won’t give you any surprises if you’re looking for a reliable snack.

Pain au Chocolat

Just as the name suggests, this is a flaky croissant with chocolate pieces inside!

Brioche Au Chocolat

The Brioche Au Chocolat is exactly what it claims to be — a chocolate chip brioche. This large sweet roll is stuffed with large chocolate chunks inside.

Brioche Au Chocolat

If you’re a big fan of the brioche texture and don’t mind mixing in some chocolatey sweetness, this is just your style!

Parfait aux Fruits

The Parfait aux Fruits is made with yogurt, berries, and mousse, but it’s not your typical fruit parfait. Along with the fresh, ripe berries, you’ll find a sweet berry glaze in the middle. The mousse has a yogurt base but is softened as it’s sweetened, so the yogurt tang is still noticeable without the bitterness of traditional yogurt.

Parfait aux Fruits

This is a perfect snack for someone looking to get a lighter sweet treat, as opposed to some of the heavier sweet pastries at this location.

Duo Au Chocolat

Chocolate fans will really love the Duo Au Chocolat, which is a chocolate mousse cake. This chocolate treat is served in a dome shape with a small chocolate decoration at the top and almonds around the base. What you’re really looking for with this treat is what you’ll find in the center though, which is made of white and dark chocolate mousse layered over a chocolate cake base.

Duo au Chocolat

The mousse is light and fluffy and the white chocolate balances nicely with the rich dark chocolate flavor.

Croissant Amandes

The Croissant Amandes is a chocolate croissant with almond filling.  This croissant is topped with powdered sugar as well as candied and regular almonds.

Croissant Amandes

This is a VERY sweet treat! The center is a healthy mixture of chocolate in the croissant and crunchy almonds, which is why we love it so much!

Fromages

This cheese plate has been upgraded to include five kinds of cheese: blue, goat, brie, gouda, and gruyere.

Fromages

Each of these flavors is really great on its own but could be so much more if you pair them with another savory snack like a baguette.

Macaron Lime Raspberry

The Macaron Lime Raspberry is made with raspberries and lime cream in the center of a macaron. Inside the macaron, you’ll taste the tangy raspberry jam and sweet lime cream that balances out the tart raspberries.

Raspberry Lime Macaron

While they’re no true authentic Parisian macaron, they’re the next best thing we have in EPCOT.

Creme Brulee

This Creme Brulee is exactly as you would imagine it should be with its flame-heated, crunchy layer of sugar sitting over top of the fluffy brulee.

Creme Brulee

This is a great treat but just hits about average on the creme brulee scale for us. It’s certainly not anything to turn your nose away from, but not the most exciting thing to choose when visiting France.

Napoleon

The Napoleon is a puff pastry with cream. There is a glazed sugar fondant top with a light cream interior. This pastry has also been changed over the years, eventually landing its current form in this more traditional presentation of a French Napoleon.

Napoleon

We also caution that the filling in this pastry can get a bit messy — like a cheesecake. You’ll probably want to grab some napkins before taking your first bite!

Fraises

This decadent treat is a tart made with vanilla cream topped with strawberries.

Fraises

If you’re a huge strawberry fan, it’s really hard to pass this one up, and for the price!

Biscuit Chocolat

The Biscuit Chocolat is a doughy cookie absolutely stuffed with chunks of chocolate. This one is also fairly priced for the size of this cookie and matches in deliciousness.

Biscuit Chocolat

If you’re not up to tackling this whole cookie on your own, it’s a great treat to share that’s nice and thick and beautifully baked. This one ranked on our list where it is solely because it is just a chocolate chip cookie after all up against all these adventurous sweet and savory options.

Mousse au Chocolat

The Mousse Au Chocolat is, well… chocolate mousse. This version of chocolate mousse is rich, but at the same time, it’s also light and creamy. It’s a bit light of a taste for chocolate lovers, which is good if you’re looking for something sweet but not too filling!

Mousse au Chocolat

The crunchy pearls at the top add great texture to the mousse to give it an extra edge, but this one ranks a bit lower because we’ve got several versions of chocolate mousse in EPCOT, and it feels a bit redundant against so many other exciting flavors.

Macarons Collection

The Macarons Collection is super portable which is the advantage of this treat. The collection includes six different macarons in flavors like pistachio, vanilla, and chocolate.

Macaron Collection

While the macarons are solid, they aren’t super special. We do adore their packaging and the fact that if you’re saving some for later, they won’t be smushed easily.

Dinde B.L.T.

The Dinde B.L.T. is a sandwich featuring Turkey, Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato, and Garlic Aioli.

Dinde B.L.T.

This one was good, but not super memorable to us, so it’s ranked lower than some of the other sandwiches offered here.

Something NEW May Be Coming to Disney Springs Soon!

A LOT is changing in Disney World, especially at Disney Springs.

Disney Springs

A new restaurant, Summer House on the Lake is coming soon (along with a new connected dessert spot). A LOT of stores have been closing recently. One store recently got a makeover. Well, now, we can report that a NEW store is on its way and we think it’s one to get excited about.

So we got a hint that this new store was coming to Disney Springs, thanks to a job listing on ZipRecruiter for a Rothy’s Store Manager in Disney Springs. Well, Disney Springs doesn’t yet have a Rothy’s, so that’s a good indicator that it will be getting a store soon! The job was also listed on the Rothy’s website.

©ZipRecruiter

Rothy’s is a popular retail store that makes washable shoes and bags out of recyclable materials. The company is particularly known for its comfy flats. Although the shoes are kind of pricey (around $130 per pair), there are many folks who swear by them for both style and comfort. The company also makes handbags and totes.

Souvenir Alert🚨A POPULAR Disney World Hotel Has $10 CUSTOM Minnie Ears

Can you really go to Disney World without wearing a pair of Minnie ears? Or without buying a new pair of ears?

Gotta have those ears

Minnie ears are a pretty iconic souvenir, after all — wearing them is part of the fun of visiting Disney World. Plus, so many awesome pairs are available right now, including some gorgeous new Coco Ears, those incredible Chip ‘n’ Dale Rescue Rangers ears that gave us nostalgic feels, and the spooky Minnie Mouse Vampire Bat Ears. But those ears can get expensive. What if we told you there was a way to get a UNIQUE pair of ears in Disney World for just $10?

Well, there’s a fun activity happening over at Disney’s Grand Floridian Hotel, where you can custom-make your own ears! You can choose between Mickey Ears for just $8 or Minnie Ears for $10 (these come with a bow). You start by deciding if your ears will have a bow or not.

Choose your ears

Then you can choose what you want to add to them — it’s entirely up to you. So you can create a pair of ears that are unlike anyone else’s. How fun is that? You can choose from all kinds of fun things to add to your ears, like stars, cowboy boots, flowers, animals, and more.

Add your details

Once you’re done, you have a brand new pair of ears that cost less than HALF of what those ears cost in stores.

Finished Ears

This is why we always tell you to check those Disney World hotel schedules because you never know what kind of fun activities you might be missing out on. There are movies under the stars, campfires to make s’mores, arts and crafts, and more!

Always check your hotel’s schedule for activities
