CALLING ALL TANGLED FANS — get ready to book your next Disney trip!

You can see Rapunzel in Disney World during the Festival of Fantasy Parade, say “hello” to her at Rapunzel’s Royal Table on the Disney Magic cruise ship, and see her in a few other spots at various Disney parks. But soon, an entire Tangled-themed area will be coming to one Disney park and it’ll even have a TANGLED RESTAURANT!

Tokyo DisneySea is working on a major park expansion with Fantasy Springs — a new land set to open in 2024. And let us tell you something folks, this spot looks pretty epic!

Fantasy Springs will have FOUR (count ’em — FOUR) new rides, various new restaurants, and MUCH more.

The land will feature areas themed to Frozen, Tangled, and Peter Pan which you can read about here. But right now, we HAVE to talk about one specific part of the land — the Tangled area!

Within this space, you’ll find a NEW water ride called Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival which Disney says will take guests on a “romantic boat trip to the annual Lantern Festival and visit various locations featured in the Walt Disney Animation Studios film Tangled while experiencing Rapunzel’s ‘best day ever’ as she falls in love with Flynn Rider.”

But on top of that, this area will also have a brand NEW restaurant called The Snuggly Duckling! That’s right folks — we’re getting a brand new Snuggly Duckling restaurant!!!!!!!!!!!

According to Disney, it’ll be “reminiscent of the establishment by the same name from the film.”

Disney says that at The Snuggling Duckling restaurant, “where the local rough-and-tumble crowd gathers, guests can enjoy a meal in a variety of atmospheric dining areas.”

Okay, so there are some things to break down here. First, Disney says that this is where the “rough-and-tumble crowd gathers,” so we’re really hoping that there are a lot of references to the loveable ruffians from the bar in the movie!

Disney also notes that people will be able to eat in a “variety of atmospheric dining areas,” so it sounds like there could be a few different seating areas with some (hopefully!) elaborate theming.

The spot will be a Counter Service restaurant so you should be able to grab your items relatively quickly here without the need for a reservation, making it even easier to access.

That’s basically what has been shared so far but we CANNOT wait to learn more about this space and all it will have to offer.

Gideon’s Bakehouse at Disney Springs is closed today, August 31, due to an issue with the shop’s air conditioning.

Gideon’s Bakehouse Closed

Gideon’s shared on their Instagram story yesterday that they were having “some technical issues effecting [sic] the AC” and apologized for the inconvenience.

In an update shared Thursday morning, they stated the bakery is “temporarily closed until we can get a handle on the AC issue.”

“It’s a rough scene, friends,” they added, “and we are sorry. I’ll update you here as we try and move mountains to fix it quickly!”

Gideon’s Bakehouse is a popular quick-service cookie and coffee shop in The Landing section of Disney Springs. It’s usually open from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. with long lines of guests hoping to try their unique and giant cookies.

Each month, Gideon’s offers a limited-edition cookie and collectible menu. This month’s cookie was the Peanut Butter Cold Brew Cookie. The Key Lime Chocolate Chip Cookie was also available in early August for the Flavors of Florida celebration.

Hopefully, Gideon’s Bakehouse won’t have to close for too long. If you’re desperate for one of their cookies, they have another location at East End Market in Orlando.

Star Wars: Unlimited, a new “Star Wars” trading card game from Fantasy Flight Games, is coming to game tables in 2024 but we got to play it early at Gen Con 2023.

Star Wars: Unlimited

Here is how Fantasy Flight Games describes Star Wars: Unlimited.

This is a fast-paced, strategic card game for everyone, whether you are a hardcore Star Wars fan, a longtime player of trading card games (TCGs), or anywhere in between! In this game, you build a deck using cards you acquire from randomized booster packs, and each of those cards has different strengths, weaknesses, and abilities. The game is called “Unlimited” for a reason; with over 200 cards in the first set—Spark of Rebellion—alone, there are countless strategies and combinations just waiting to be discovered. Choose your leader, build your deck, expand your collection, and launch yourself into a galaxy of unlimited potential!
