Walt Disney World guests can now participate in the create your own headband experience featuring their favorite characters in plush form. This experience was introduced at Disneyland Resort earlier this year.

Create Your Own Headband

The experience is in the remodeled Disney Ever After store at Disney Springs.

To build your own headband, pick up a base headband and then start adding plush characters. They attach by sliding on.

There is currently a limit of two headbands per guest. The plush are limited to three per item, per guest.

Example headbands are on display. The base headband is $9.99, while each mini plush accessory is $11.99. Cast Member discount does not apply.

The outside of the headband is covered in black fabric. The inside is blue.

The plush characters are all just heads. They’re round so they look kind of like Mickey ears.

Among the characters are Chip and Dale.

Stitch is an option.

Of course, Mickey and Minnie are also available.

Minnie is depicted with her red and white polka-dot bow.

If you prefer Winnie the Pooh characters, Pooh and Tigger are both available.

Make a duck headband with Donald and Daisy. Daisy wears a pink bow.

Donald has his sailor hat.

There’s Lotso from “Toy Story 3.”

There are also Green Aliens as seen across the franchise.

And Buzz Lightyear to complete your “Toy Story”-themed headband.

Here’s a look at a headband we made when the experience first debuted at Disneyland Resort. We chose three Green Aliens.

After closing earlier this month, Disney Ever After at Disney Springs has reopened with a new cute look. Instead of selling designer bags and jewelry, the store now mainly sells character plush. It’s also home to a new build-your-own headband experience.

Disney Ever After at Disney Springs

The store is located in Town Center. The exterior is mostly the same but “Jewelry Co. & Accessories” has been removed from the sign. It’s possible that “Disney” could be added to the sign later, or it could stay the same as it is currently.

The create-your-own headband experience debuted at Disneyland Resort earlier this year. A sign outside Disney Ever After advertises it.

Inside, the displays are now decorated with brightly-colored awnings inspired by Disney characters. Much of the store’s character artwork is inspired by Disney Emojis. The store is playing the San Fransokyo Square music loop, including the Happy Ride with Baymax songs.

A pink display showcases plush of Marie from “The Aristocats.” There’s a giant pink bow on the striped awning. A wall decoration above reads “Cute.” There are emoji images of Anna, Tinker Bell, and Marie.

An Edna Mode emoji is mounted above one of the headband stations. There are green dots above a green awning. More giant emojis represent the Beast and Baymax.

Light strings hang down from the center of the ceiling. Cinderella Castle is above the emergency exit door.

Another striped awning covers the headband station at the front of the store.

Stay tuned for more coverage of the new experience.

In the center of the store is a throne made out of Disney plush.

The back of the throne is also a mirror so you can check your headband style.

There are still some Loungefly bags available at Disney Ever After. The Figment Loungefly backpack is on a purple display case alongside Figment plush.

Stitch merchandise is under a sign reading “Besties.”

To celebrate the opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, three desserts have returned to Magic Kingdom for a limited time. The Peach Cobbler and Butter Pecan Praline Sundae were first introduced for Celebrate Soulfully in February. Tiana’s Chantilly Cake was previously available for Women’s History Month. All three are available from June 28 through September 6.

Peach Cobbler – $5.49

Cinnamon Panna Cotta, Peach Cobbler, Brown Sugar Streusel, and Whipped Cream with a Tiana Chocolate Piece

The Peach Cobbler is at Pinocchio Village Haus. There seemed to be some lack of communication with the Cast Members because most of them were unaware they had Peach Cobbler. Our serving of the treat also didn’t come with the advertised Tiana chocolate piece.

As for the taste — this is nothing close to a traditional peach cobbler. The cinnamon panna cotta on the bottom was not very solid. It also didn’t have a lot of flavor and didn’t taste at all like cinnamon. The peaches weren’t fresh. The brown sugar streusel was perhaps the best part of the dessert. The whipped cream was good, too. However, all of the ingredients combined weren’t enough to save this.

Tiana’s Chantilly Cake – $9.99

Vanilla Chiffon Cake, Lemon Chantilly, and Fresh Strawberries topped with a Fondant Flower and a Tiana Chocolate Piece

At The Plaza Restaurant is Tiana’s Chantilly Cake, featuring a chocolate picture of Tiana in her lilypad dress. The fresh strawberries were almost nonexistent but the cake was delicious either way.

The lemon flavor is strong, giving it a tart and sweet profile. We would get this again.

Butter Pecan Praline Sundae – $8.79

Butter Pecan Ice Cream topped with Praline Sauce, Spiced Pecans, and Whipped Cream

The Butter Pecan Praline Sundae is at the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor. It’s pretty underwhelming. Some people really love butter pecan ice cream and will probably like this more than our group did. We’re more neutral on the dish.

The promised spicy pecans weren’t bad but didn’t deliver. Nothing stood out about this sundae.

Magic Kingdom custodial Cast Members have added “The Princess and the Frog” characters to their water drawing repertoire in honor of the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opening.

‘The Princess and the Frog’ Water Drawings

Custodians draw characters on the streets and sidewalks of Disney Parks using a wet broom. The drawings then disappear as the water dries. Cast Members were showing off their new drawings on Main Street on the opening day of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. First up is Prince Naveen in frog form.

They also now draw Mama Odie, complete with her turban, glasses, and giant earrings.

You might see a Louis the alligator drawing.

They also draw Ray the firefly.

Cast Members said guests will see these water drawings on Main Street, U.S.A., and by Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Frontierland.
