I Was Embarrassed Doing THIS in Disney World But It Was Still Worth It

We go to Disney World every day.

Welcome to Disney World!

This means we know when an attraction is temporarily closed and when things change. We share this all with you so that you stay in the loop and have the best Disney trip you can. But being in the parks so much, also means that we’ve had some embarrassing moments too.

We asked our team what embarrassing things have they done in Disney World that they would do again, and here are our answers. We are aware we may be judged for them, but we feel like you’ve probably done a few of these too.

1. Acting Like A Kid

At Disney World, sometimes we act like a kid. Even though we’re all adults here, something comes over us while we’re in the Disney Parks. We have danced along during the parades or sung out loud during “Frozen” Sing-Along at Hollywood Studios.

For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Singalong at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

We’ve danced during a downpour of rain, because what else is there to do? We do the warthog noises during the Festival of the Lion King, and we speed walk to our favorite ride. While these are things that we probably would not do outside of Disney, we think it’s 100% worth doing in the parks.

Festival of the Lion King

2. Crying During Fireworks

A lot of our team gets emotional at Disney World, especially while watching Happily Ever After. There’s something about hearing “Ready to Begin” that just opens up the floodgates for us. Seeing Tinker Bell fly over us and the huge fireworks behind the beautiful castle is just what dreams are made of.

Happily Ever After

While at the time, it can feel embarrassing to cry over a show, it’s worth it to be swept up in the moment of experiencing the magic of Disney World. So if you cry during the fireworks, just know you aren’t the only one in the hub shedding some tears.

Happily Ever After

3. The Things We Do To Stay Cool

It’s hot here, okay? There are days when the heat index is over 100 degrees, and the humidity is just terrible. We do what we have to so we can keep cool. This includes a few embarrassing things like wearing a neck fan. While we may look silly, being in the park all day when it’s hot is no joke. We have absolutely worn a neck fan to keep a breeze on us.

Magic Kingdom

A few of our team members may also go in the bathrooms just to cool off. What? It’s shaded, usually has good AC and we can wipe ourselves down with a paper towel. While it may feel weird to hide from the sun in the bathroom, sometimes you’ve just got to do it to survive this Florida heat.

Bathrooms

4. Pin Trading

Outside of Disney, it may seem weird to carry around a bag of pins to trade, but here, it’s normal. Pin trading is a time-honored tradition in Disney World. You can trade with Cast Members, who usually have pin boards.

Pin Trading Board

For some, it’s just for fun, while for others it’s a serious hobby. It can also get expensive if you are buying new pins or mystery packs to try to complete a collection. So, maybe we’re a little embarrassed about the amount we’ve spent on this hobby? Either way, it’s very popular at Disney parks and if it makes you happy — who cares?

How much do you spend on Pin Trading?

5. Meeting Characters As Adults

We have gone to character meals as adults solely to meet some of our favorite pals. Giving Mickey a high five or dancing with Donald just brings us joy. Some may think of the characters as something fun for kids to do, but we’ve had great interactions with them, too.

Mickey Mouse

Characters like Anastasia and Drizella make us laugh. There’s nothing like getting a hug from Winnie the Pooh. While interacting with characters might not be everyone’s thing, if you enjoy it — do it! There’s nothing to be embarrassed about.

Anastasia and Drizella

6. Matching T-Shirts 

So you want to match with the other people in your party? Matching shirts are popular at Disney. Maybe you are having a Food and Wine Festival day and want to celebrate with shirts. We actually sell Disney-themed shirts, and we love this trend!

DFB Exclusive Food & Wine Merch!

You can go with the classic “Family Vacation 2023” shirts or even find something more specific to your group. Maybe you’re going for the holidays and want something more themed like this What Fun It Is To Ride Sweatshirt. So if you want to do matching shirts, you will not be the only family to do it!

Oh What Fun It Is To Ride Sweatshirt

See More of our T-Shirts Here

7. Purchasing Items Out of Need

So there’s nothing embarrassing about buying some Disney souvenirs. However, we may have had to purchase some out of pure need and our poor planning. One of our team members confessed to having to buy Crocs at Disney World because they wore uncomfortable shoes.

Disney100 Special Moments Crocs

We have also had a few of our reporters be caught in a bind and have to purchase a poncho. While we are in the parks every day and we know it rains, sometimes we like to gamble and leave our umbrellas at home. So while buying and wearing a poncho might feel embarrassing, it’s better to be comfortable and dry!

Sometimes a poncho is essential

We’ve spilled our embarrassing moments at Disney World, and we hope this helps you feel better about your embarrassing moments too. For more Disney tips and tricks, keep following DFB.

New Baymax Bread Coming to Disney’s California Adventure

I first fell in love with Boudin Bread in San Fransisco as a child. At a time when artisan-style bread wasn’t common in Australia, enjoying the delicious treat when we came to Northern California is a memory that will never leave me. When it was introduced into Disney’s California Adventure Park at opening in 2001, I was thrilled and now love the extra opportunity to enjoy this sourdough every time I am there.

You can imagine how my face lit up when I saw that there is about to be a new Baymax Bread coming to San Fransokyo Square in Disney’s California Adventure Park. This special new loaf will be available from August 31st at the Boudin Bread Cart with a limit of two per guest. San Fransokyo Square is the newly reimagined area of California’s second Disney Park, formally known as Pacific Wharf.

New Items Added to The Plaza Restaurant Menu Include Specialty Milkshakes, Crab Cake Sandwich, and More

Further adding to the classic Americana allure of Main Street, U.S.A. at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World is a slew of new items recently added to the menu at the Plaza Restaurant. New takes on classic American dishes like the crab cake, milkshake, and cheesecake are now available at the location.

New Items Added to The Plaza Restaurant Menu

plaza restaurant reopening 3 sca

These items are available at the Plaza Restaurant, a table-service restaurant located toward the end of Main Street, U.S.A. in Magic Kingdom as you approach Cinderella Castle. It’s located next to the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor.

All of these new options are available as both lunch and dinner items.

Specialty Milkshakes – $8.25

new plaza restaurant offerings 2

Chocolate Pecan Brownie, Key Lime, and Strawberry Shortcake milkshakes have been added to the menu. The restaurant also offers Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, and Mint Chocolate Chip milkshakes, with all of these costing $7. Since the new shakes are considered “specialty,” they cost an additional $1.25.

The Chocolate Pecan Brownie milkshake, according to the Plaza Restaurant menu, includes “hand-dipped chocolate ice cream blended with spiced pecans, brownies, and chocolate sauce.” The Key Lime shake contains “hand-dipped vanilla ice cream blended with key lime curd and graham cracker crumbs,” while the Strawberry Shortcake milkshake includes “hand-dipped strawberry ice cream blended with vanilla cake and strawberries.”

Each milkshake is topped with a whipped topping that contains an additional sweet treat; brownies top the Chocolate Pecan Brownie shake, the Strawberry Shortcake milkshake comes with a strawberry, and a graham cracker sticks out of the whipped topping on the Key Lime shake.

Chocolate Layer Cake – $10.00

new plaza restaurant offerings 3

The Plaza Restaurant menu simply describes this dessert as a “Chocolate Layer Cake with caramel popcorn mousse.” The chocolate cake has three layers, and each cake is separated by a thick layer of mousse. Edible decorations sit atop the cake, and each slice is served with caramel popcorn.

Cotton Candy Cheesecake – $10.00

new plaza restaurant offerings 4

The menu is again light on details regarding this dish, only describing it as a “Cotton Candy Cheesecake with fresh berries.” It matches the bright and inviting color of traditional pink cotton candy and, like the Strawberry Shortcake milkshake, is served with strawberries.

Pot Roast Stack – $24.00

new plaza restaurant offerings 5

This creative take on an American homestyle classic features “slow-roasted beef piled high on thick-cut toast with mashed potatoes, caramelized onion gravy, and onion rings.” It’s a combination of comfort foods that blends various textures and flavor profiles, resulting in a dish that’s wholeheartedly American.

Crab Cake Sandwich – $26.00

new plaza restaurant offerings 1

The Crab Cake Sandwich features a crab cake “griddled and served with lettuce, tomato, and rémoulade sauce on a potato roll.” Between the bed of lettuce and tomatoes the crab cake rests upon, the vivid yellow appearance of the rémoulade sauce, and the french fries and sliced pickles the dish is served with, the Crab Cake Sandwich almost emulates the appearance a traditional cheeseburger.

The Plaza Restaurant
