Yep, Roast Beef Popcorn is a snack that will be available inside the Peter Pan-themed land at Fantasy Springs. This snack will be on the menu at the Popcorn Wagon, which is designed to look like “a boat pieced together from colorful slabs of old wood.”
What exactly IS Roast Beef Popcorn, you might ask? Disney said that it has a “robust flavor seasoned with salt and black pepper, and aromas of roasted meat and gravy.“ This is the first time that this unique popcorn flavor will be available at Tokyo Disney Resort.
Rrrrroast beef??!
Although this is the newest unique popcorn flavor coming to Tokyo Disney Resort, it’s definitely not the first time that Disney has released a fun popcorn flavor at this park that’s not what you’d expect for the savory snack! In the past, we’ve seen flavors like Soy Sauce and Butter, Honey Popcorn, Curry Popcorn, Milk Tea Popcorn, Strawberry Popcorn, Corn Potage (Corn Soup) Popcorn, Orange Marmalade Popcorn, and so many more.
Aside from the Popcorn Wagon, Peter Pan’s Never Land will also have two new attractions: Peter Pan’s Never Land Adventure (where you’ll join the Lost Kids on an epic adventure through Never Land to rescue John from Captain Hook) and Fairy Tinker Bell’s Busy Buggies in Pixie Hollow (when you’ll ride in a buggy made by Tinker Bell herself!).
There will be a quick service restaurant, too, called Lookout Cookout, which can seat about 200 guests.
This is a “hideout created by the Lost Kids,” made out of “parts of a shipwreck that had washed ashore in Never Land.” The restaurant is stocked full of items that the Lost Kids discovered and added to their collection. You’ll get a glimpse of the Lost Kids’ daily lives, too, including their hammocks and pajamas!
Lookout Cookout in Fantasy Springs
The menu is full of food inspired by the Lost Kids, like the Lost Kids’ Snack Box (with chicken tenders, seaweed fritters, banana chips, and shrimp chips)…
…and the Pixie Dust Soda (Kiwi), which has “a star-shaped topping that dissolves into the drink, creating a silver sparkling effect inspired by Tinker Bell’s magical pixie dust.”
It’s pixie dusted!
Lookout Cookout will accept Mobile Order.

Disney fans everywhere are SO excited for the newest Disney theme park expansion: Fantasy Springs at Tokyo DisneySea Park. The new land will have three immersive areas themed to Frozen, Tangled, and Peter Pan. Now, we’ve got a first look at some of the SOUVENIRS you’ll be able to buy once the land opens!
We got a little sneak peek at the souvenirs previously, but now we’ve got a lot of pictures and way more information about all the new merch! Disney released a new press release with specific details about new collections coming to the themed lands.
There will be two gift shops inside Fantasy Springs: Fantasy Springs Gifts and Springs Treasures. Fantasy Springs Gifts is located on the first floor of the Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs Hotel and can only be accessed from Tokyo DisneySea. The design of the store is inspired by fairy tales, the Springs, and the surrounding wildlife and natural landscapes.
Springs Treasures is “a wagon-style kiosk located along the pathway leading from Arabian Coast to Fantasy Springs.”
The new merchandise will be themed to Fantasy Springs in general, and there will also be specific merchandise for each of the themed lands: Frozen Kingdom, Rapunzel’s Forest, and Peter Pan’s Never Land.
The “Disney Monthly Dreams” Fantasy Springs Art Collection is a sort of subscription box that “will send one package a month for three months that includes panels with Fantasy Springs concept artwork, and other grand opening merchandise.” It can only be shipped to addresses in Japan.
Up first, we saw merchandise themed to the Fantasy Springs logo, along with posters of the attractions at the various lands:
We’re sure there will be more new merchandise available in the new themed lands, so stay tuned to DFB for more updates on the merchandise and the entire Fantasy Springs theme park expansion!

Disney Dining Plans
Walt Disney World dining plans are returning for 2025!!!
For 2025, Walt Disney World will offer two different dining plans. Disney has decided, for the time being, not to offer the Disney Dining Plan Plus nor the Disney Deluxe Dining Plan for 2025.

2025 Walt Disney Vacation Package Perks
Throughout 2025, guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel can enjoy admission to one of the two Walt Disney World water parks on their check-in day – included with their stay. Disney water parks have something for everyone: big thrills, lazy rivers, wave pools, interactive play areas for younger kids and even water slides the whole family can enjoy together. The fun can start on day one at a Disney water park! More information will be available later this year on this special perk! Be sure to check the water park operating hours closer to 2025 arrivals.
In addition to the free day at a Disney water park, there are many other perks for staying in a Walt Disney World Resort:
Proximity to the theme parks: If visiting the Walt Disney World theme parks, nothing beats the convenience of staying at a Disney Resort hotel. Many resorts are just a hop, a skip and a jump to a theme park!
Complimentary transportation: Not only are the theme parks near the resorts, but they’re easy to get to. With several complimentary transportation options, such as buses, boats, monorails and Disney Skyliner, guests can get anywhere they need to go.
Extra time in the theme parks: Disney Resort hotel guests can get extra time in the theme parks with 30 minutes of early theme park entry. And guests staying at Disney Deluxe Resorts or Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts can maximize their time with extended evening hours at select parks. Both will continue through 2025!
Early access to dining reservations: Don’t forget, Disney Resort hotel guests can make dining reservations for their entire stay (up to a 10-night stay) 60 days before the first day of their vacation.
Recreation & fitness activities: Even during a vacation, wellness is one of our top priorities. Our Disney Resort hotels offer several wellness activities through Disney Family Wellness. Some favorites include dancing to Disney songs, family fun walks and, yes, even pickleball!
Walt Disney World no longer mails complimentary MagicBands to Walt Disney World Resort guests. MagicBands will be available to purchase at a discounted rate prior to your arrival. Guests who prefer not to purchase a discounted MagicBand will be able to use the My Disney Experience app or a Key to the World card (free once you arrive at Disney) during their visit. Walt Disney World will still offer MagicBands in retail locations and on shopDisney.com, and guests will be able to continue using the wearables throughout Walt Disney World Resort.
Disney’s Magical Express
Walt Disney World no longer offers Disney’s Magical Express airport transportation. Several paid options are now available, your Mouseketrips agent will be able to find the best option for you.
Disney Genie +
It is no longer an option to purchase Genie + in advance as part of your stay. Genie + must be purchased on a daily basis each morning during your stay. So, Genie + is currently not a ticket option on any 2025 Walt Disney World package or advance ticket purchase. We have heard rumor that this may change sometime in 2025, but currently, it is not an option.

Fantasy Springs is opening June 6th, 2024, at Tokyo DisneySea, and we are just getting more excited every time we see more of this amazing new port!! Today we’re bring you INSIDE the Snuggly Duckling restaurant coming to Fantasy Springs!
Tokyo DisneySea just released NEW videos with looks inside the Tangled, Frozen, and Peter Pan lands coming to Fantasy Springs. Take a look at the Tangled land video right here!
Of course, we are super excited to try all the new restaurants coming to Fantasy Springs but ONE in particular has us on the edge of our seats — a REAL LIFE Snuggly Duckling! Here’s a first look inside the new counter-service location where the “rough-and-tumble crowd gathers,” Disney says.
First off — look at that sign!
The Snuggly Duckling sign at Tokyo DisneySea
This looks exactly like the Snuggly Duckling sign in Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure!
And the exterior of the restaurant looks VERY similar to the animated version, too — though it’s not quite at the “severely slanted floor” angle — of the imaginary version.
Here it is!!
And here’s another look at the exterior.
The Snuggly Duckling in Tokyo DisneySea
Inside, the restaurant looks appropriately rustic for that rough crowd the Snuggly Duckling tends to draw!

Check out this cool helmet lamp!

Disney’s NEWEST theme park expansion, Fantasy Springs at Tokyo DisneySea Park, is opening on June 6th, 2024, with three AMAZING immersive lands. Now, we’ve got a first look inside one of the new restaurants coming to the Frozen-themed land!
Fantasy Springs is made up of three kingdoms: Rapunzel’s Forest, Peter Pan’s Never Land, and Frozen Kingdom. There’s also a new hotel, the Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs Hotel. Inside the new lands, there are new rides, attractions, and restaurants. Let’s go inside the Royal Banquet of Arendelle for the FIRST TIME!
According to a new press release from Disney, Fantasy Springs is located between the Lost River Delta and the Arabian Coast lands in Tokyo DisneySea. The Fantasy Springs entryway will have an archway featuring characters like Peter Pan, Rapunzel, Anna, and Elsa.
Inside Frozen Kingdom, guests will find a new ride called Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey, which takes visitors on a boat ride through the Frozen story. This sounds very similar to the Frozen Ever After ride in EPCOT.
It looks like there are a few different dining rooms inside, with one that looks like the Great Hall and another that looks like the art gallery (where Anna sings “For the First Time in Forever” in the movie).
Disney said, “Guests who visit this restaurant will be able to join the celebratory banquet and enjoy an offering called ‘Arendelle’s Royal Set.’” This meal is served to guests in a basket and has a full spread of appetizers, entrées, and dessert.
At Oaken’s OK Foods, you can grab Oaken’s Yoo-Hoo Bread (Cardamom & Meat), which is “a variation on the cardamom rolls, a Scandinavian specialty.” The bread is filled with spiced meat and lingonberry jam.
