New Texas Chainsaw Massacre House Announced for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is returning to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood in a new house.

Promotional poster for Universal Studios Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights featuring "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Legacy of Leatherface" with chilling images of Leatherface wielding a chainsaw.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Legacy of Leatherface was just announced for this year’s event.

”Fall victim to Leatherface and his cannibalistic kin as they lure you into their gore-filled slaughterhouse in a gruesome original story.”

Texas Chainsaw Massacre has been featured at the event before, but this house will feature a story created exclusively for the event rather than following the events of one of the franchise’s films. It’s most recent appearance was in 2021 with a house based on the original 1974 film.

New Maleficent Dragon and Cruella de Vil Ear Headbands at Disneyland Resort

If you’re planning a Maleficent or Cruella de Vil outfit for Oogie Boogie Bash this year, you might want to pick up one of these new ear headbands. We found new Maleficent dragon ears at the Newsstand of Disneyland and the Cruella de Vil ears at Pin Traders in Downtown Disney District.

Maleficent Dragon Ear Headband – $34.99

Maleficent’s dragon form may be gone from “Fantasmic!” but Murphy can live on atop your head thanks to these ears. The headband is covered in black pleather and lined with purple velour. The fronts of the black pleather ears are decorated with textured green fire patches. Instead of a Minnie bow, the dragon’s head with green eyes and nostrils is in the center. Bat-like purple and black wings are spread out to the sides.

The backs of the ears are plain black. They have green around the edges.

Cruella de Vil Ear Headband – $34.99

The right ear atop this headband is a big black puffball and the left is a white puffball, inspired by Cruella’s two-tone hair and the dogs she hunts. The bow is made of a white pleather with black spots. The same pleather is on the outside of the headband.

A hand holding a Disney-themed headband with white and black fluffy ears and a white polka-dot bow. Nearby shelves display colorful stuffed toys and accessories.

There are no designs on the back. The headband is lined with red velour.

We have also seen the Cruella de Vil ear headband at Walt Disney World.

FULL REVIEW of Lumiere’s on the Disney Magic Cruise Ship

Is it time for you to set sail on a Disney Cruise? We’re BIG fans of the Disney Cruise Line, so if you’re asking us, our answer is YES!

The Disney Magic

We recently sailed on the Disney Magic cruise ship, and since we love a nice, filling meal onboard a Disney cruise, we wanted to bring you our review of Lumiere’s. Let’s dive right in!

Click here to subscribe

One of the best parts of a Disney cruise is the food (amirite?). Also, you’ll notice that on each of Disney’s cruise ships, there are three main dining rooms. That means that while you’re on board, you’ll get to enjoy “rotational dining.” What that means is that for each night of your cruise, you and your serving team will rotate restaurants. It’s definitely a unique way to have different dining experiences on your cruise, and it’s a lot of fun!

The Disney Magic

Let’s set the scene: We hopped on a cruise aboard the Disney Magic recently. Now, its three dining rooms are Animator’s Palate (on deck four aft), Lumiere’s (in the lobby atrium on deck three), and Rapunzel’s Royal Table (on deck three aft). They’re all uniquely themed and have menus that match the individual vibes to the T. For this post, we’re focusing on our time at Lumiere’s.

Atmosphere

First up, Lumiere’s is the Disney Magic’s “fancy” restaurant. Can you guess what the theme is? It’s themed after Beauty and the Beast. There are plenty of references to the film all throughout the restaurant such as a mural of Belle and the Beast. Side note: this restaurant’s menu can also be found at Royal Palace on the Disney Dream, Royal Court on the Disney Fantasy, and Triton’s on the Disney Wonder.

Lumiere’s

Now, let’s dive into the full course of offerings we tried there — the Warm French Country Bread with an Olive Spread, Iced Lobster and Jumbo Shrimp, Breaded and Deep-Fried Brie, Gaston’s Escargot Gratinée, French Onion Soup, Potato and Leek Soup, Chateaubriand-Roasted Filet Steak, Oven-Baked Salmon Royale, Conchiglie Pasta, Crispy Roasted Duck Breast, Wild Mushroom-Stuffed Pasta, Grand Marnier Souffle, Signature Dessert, the Classic Opera Gâteau, and the Apple Tart Tatin. 

Eats

First up, our dinner started with a bread service which means we got to partake in Warm French Country Bread with an Olive Spread (this has to be our least favorite bread service on a Disney cruise). This bread was a bit too crusty on the outside, but confusingly it wasn’t very crunchy, which wasn’t the most pleasant of experiences.

Warm French Country Bread with an Olive Spread

Moving on from there, we tried the Iced Lobster and Jumbo Shrimp. Wow, this was a great dish! Even though it is only a chilled, tiny piece of lobster, it has a punch of flavor. The creamy and buttery tang of the pink sauce perfectly paired with the lobster.

Iced Lobster and Jumbo Shrimp

Also, it’s a decently large shrimp that was perfectly cooked. It might have been a bit heavy on the dill, but we still enjoyed it. If you’re looking for a light portion, this is your app!

Iced Lobster and Jumbo Shrimp

For our next appetizer, we tried the Breaded and Deep-Fried Brie. It had a nice and crispy breading, and the brie was subtle and creamy.

Breaded and Deep-Fried Brie

Overall, the dish was a bit greasy. The dipping sauce had a great combo of tartness and sweetness that wasn’t overpowering. Again, it was a nice and light way to start our dining experience!

Breaded and Deep-Fried Brie

Next, let’s talk about Gaston’s Escargot Gratinée. It is lightly salty and mushroomy. Hands down, it is one of the best appetizers aboard Disney Cruise Line (and that’s saying a lot since we normally don’t go for a dish with this type of flavor). Everyone raves over its chewiness and juiciness. You’ll be served bread with it to help soak up all the butter. Our bread was a bit tough, though.

Gaston’s Escargot Gratinée

Moving on from the appetizers to the soups and salads, the first thing we tried was the French Onion Soup, and we’re so happy we did! It was quite a tasty dish! The broth packed a lot of flavor, and the cheese pull was textbook amazing. In our opinion, we could have done with a bit more onion to balance out the bread and broth. Overall, it was a solid soup.

French Onion Soup

Our next soup was the Potato and Leek Soup. If you’re looking for those “comfort” vibes, this warm and savory soup has your name all over it. It’s got everything you need when it comes to a typical potato soup. It’s quite delicious, albeit a bit heavy, for a summer vacation. It could also be considered an app because of how light it is.

Potato and Leek Soup

Disney Cruise Tshirt

Onto the main course, people! For our first entree, we had the Chateaubriand-Roasted Filet Steak. Our first thought is that this was, overall, a pretty nice dish. We really had no complaints with the steak as it was salty, well-cooked, moist, and flavorful.

Chateaubriand-Roasted Filet Steak

The light and tangy Bearnaise sauce elevated the steak. The well-seasoned green beans could have been a bit less firm, though,  in our opinion. Overall, this dish was straight to the point — a simple meal that fills you up.

Chateaubriand-Roasted Filet Steak

Next, we should talk about the Oven-Baked Salmon Royale. You’ll be pleased to know that the salmon was salty and fresh with a buttery hint to it. The panko crust was a nice addition because it provided the needed texture and crunch.

Oven-Baked Salmon Royale

If you’re not a fan of horseradish, you’ll want to steer clear of this one (even though it wasn’t overpowering). The white wine blanc is a nice addition to the dish as well. What we enjoyed about this one is that it’s a tasty meal that isn’t going to weigh you down. (It looks like our theme for the night was “nice and light.”)

Oven-Baked Salmon Royale

Next, we tried the Conchiglie Pasta. Interestingly, this one came with a warning from our server. Apparently, many people don’t enjoy it all that much. He offered to bring us another entree if we didn’t enjoy this, and we asked for a backup just in case.

Conchiglie Pasta

This pasta comes right out of the gate with quite a strange flavor, not one we enjoyed. Perhaps it was the Brandy flavor that came off almost starchy in a way. This isn’t a dish that we can recommend. The amount of lobster in the pasta was lacking, and the sauce wrecked the flavor. Let’s just say we’d skip this one every single time.

Conchiglie Pasta

Next, we had a go at the Crispy Roasted Duck Breast. What a tender and juicy piece of meat! It also had such a lovely crispy skin on top of it. The honey parsnip puree was delicious and wonderfully smooth. Overall, it was slightly sweet and quite hearty.

Crispy Roasted Duck Breast

For our last entree, we ordered from the vegetarian side of the menu. We wanted to give the Wild Mushroom-Stuffed Pasta a try. While this one had a lot of mushrooms, it really lacked any overall flavor or other interesting qualities. If only this one had been creamy instead of brothy it would have rated much higher in our books.

Wild Mushroom-Stuffed Pasta

Now for the moment you’ve all been waiting for — dessert! We kicked things off with the Grand Marnier Souffle, and we’re so happy we did. Speaking of souffles, they’re quite a challenge for most to make at home and it doesn’t appear on many restaurant menus, which is why we prioritize getting a souffle on a cruise when possible because of its uniqueness. Now, this one wasn’t the greatest ever (a bit eggy), but overall, we’re still happy with this pick. The creme anglaise and the citrusy Grand Marnier flavors were definite favorites of ours.

Grand Marnier Souffle

Next, we had a go at the Classic Opera Gâteau (the Signature Dessert here). What a rich and decadent dessert! If you LOVE chocolate, you’ll love this. It’s heavy, spongey, most, and the chocolate ganache is something else! We like chocolate and all, but we might have enjoyed a classic Tiramisu a bit more since it’s got a similar flavor profile and not quite as heavy.

Classic Opera Gâteau

Last but certainly not least, we had the Apple Tart Tatin. This one is almost exactly what you’d expect — a caramelized baked apple with vanilla ice cream. We loved it!

Apple Tart Tatin

The apples weren’t too soggy or overbaked and were spiced perfectly with cinnamon. Also, can we take a moment to appreciate how lovely a nice dollop of ice cream is for cooling a dish down and offering a balance to the caramelized apple? Overall, 10 out of 10.

Apple Tart Tatin

The apples were spiced with cinnamon and perfectly tender without being too soggy or overbaked. The ice cream was a nice addition to cool things down and balance out the richness of the caramelized apple.

Nosh or not…

Check out Lumiere’s if…

  • You’re a little adventurous and don’t mind skipping out on tenders and fries.
  • You love dining that’s themed to Beauty and the Beast particularly.
  • You’re a duck connoisseur because it was a solid entree.

Skip out on Lumiere’s if…

  • You’re not a fan of themed dining experiences.
  • You’re looking for a steak entree that just wows you when it comes to flavor.
  • You’re looking for nothing but the most basic of options.

Overall

Overall, we enjoyed these meals and we think you would too. There are some misses, but there are also some solid options.

REVIEW: When Princess Jasmine Recommends Food in Disney World, We Listen

One of our favorite things to do at Disney World is eat (yeah, we know, you must be SO surprised!).

EPCOT Morocco Pavilion

More importantly, though, we love finding those lesser-known snacks that have since become our favorites. We also love to revisit our favorite underrated restaurants to be reminded ALL OVER AGAIN of why we will recommend them. We recently revisited a restaurant in EPCOT, and you know what? It still SLAPS. So come with us as we take a trip to Morocco.

Click here to subscribe

That’s right, we’re headed to the Morocco Pavilion in EPCOT, where a HIDDEN GEM of a restaurant is hiding. We’re referring to Spice Road Table, which we’ve loved pretty much FOREVER. Recently, we dropped by the restaurant again and were reminded of why we love it so much. Yes, it’s a table service restaurant, but because you can often get a table without an advance dining reservation, we often like to drop in to order a snack or two from the tapas-style menu.

Spice Road Table

So before our visit, we met with Princess Jasmine, who meets with folks at the Morocco Pavilion. She told us that Aladdin has a favorite food item here, the Hummus Fries. Um, how can we not appreciate a food rec from Jasmine? So we ordered them, and let’s just say Jasmine was right! They’re served with a citrus-chipotle sauce and preserved lemon for $10.

Hummus Fries

We’ve had these before, but we think they’re even better now. The fries are so flavorful, but when you dip them in the sauce, you get a nice intensity (and, yes, heat) that isn’t easily found in Disney World. This place IS called SPICE Road Table, after all. We will warn you that the spiciness could be a bit much for some folks, though. But we like it SPICY.

SO flavorful

We also ordered one of our favorite things at Spice Road Table, the Pomegranate-Chili Crispy Cauliflower with red pepper sauce for $11. It’s savory AND sweet and is anything but boring old cauliflower. The flavor just sinks into the cauliflower that’s been breaded and covered in this delightful sauce.

Pomegranate-Chili Crispy Cauliflower

One thing to love about this restaurant is that the food tastes decadent, although it’s made with healthy ingredients. But again, we will warn you that this also still lives up to the “spice” in the restaurant’s name. Both of these items reminded us of why we should stop by Spice Road Table more often.

Bringing some heat

So, if you want to get into a table-service restaurant without needing a reservation and you aren’t averse to spice, head straight to Morocco and do not pass go.

Another August Date for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Sold Out

Another August 2024 date of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Magic Kingdom is sold out for most guests.

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Dates Sold Out So Far

Calendar for August 2024 showing available ticket prices. Ticket prices are $149 on August 9 and $119 on August 13, 16, 20, 23, 27, and 30. All other dates are sold out.

Halloween night (October 31) was the first event to sell out, followed by August 13 — the second party of the season. Now Tuesday, August 20 is sold out for most guests. Annual Passholders can still purchase tickets for the event, but likely not for much longer.

Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members can save $10 on Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party tickets in August and September. Before the discount, prices vary from $119 to $199.

The first two Tuesdays selling out before most other dates is unusual. The first date of the year would usually be gone by now but it coincides with D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event in California, which may affect sales. Guests would also usually prefer Fridays but these all remain available.

Last year, all dates had passed or sold out by late September. This was only the second year Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party sold out. In 2022, all tickets were gone by September 11.
