Spooky season is here, and if you’re setting sail on Disney Cruise Line soon, you may be getting ready for Halloween on the High Seas.

Halloween on Disney cruise ships is SO much fun. You’ll get a chance to see some cool decor during the season, as well as eat some special Halloween snacks, meet characters in their Halloween costumes, attend a costume party, and more. If you’re wanting to make things EXTRA spooky, though, you might be interested in getting a fun in-room decoration package: and Disney just revealed a Halloween one!

Disney Cruise Line just revealed a new In-Room Decor package for those sailing on Disney cruise ships that will let you make your room Halloween-themed just in time for the spooky season. The BOO in the High Seas package includes a “Happy Halloween” plush throw, a Mickey-shaped Halloween pillow, a drawstring backpack with Stitch on it, a “BOO” felt banner, and two vertical hanging danglers with felt pumpkins and ghosts.

You can order this package right now for your next cruise for $95. Just visit the Disney Cruise Line Onboard Gifts website. You can also order a fun Halloween snacks package to be delivered to your room, too, for $30. This fun treat package comes with seven Halloween-themed Krispie treats.

You’ll need to order these before your cruise, though, so be sure to head on over to the Disney Cruise Line Onboard Gifts website to get those ready to go to your room when you arrive.

If you are taking a Halloween on the High Seas cruise, here’s a guide as to what to expect.

Stay tuned to DFB for more.

Have you ever wanted to ride an attraction at Disney World but been too scared or nervous, too?

Picture this: You finally hyped yourself up to ride an attraction like Tower or Terror or Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. You get to the front of the line when, all of a sudden, the panic kicks in, and you want to back out. Well, we have good news for you: Disney plans for this and has “Chicken Exits” (these exits are used for other reasons as well) to allow you to back out of an attraction at the last minute. 

These chicken exits are sometimes not always well known, but they can be great for many reasons, more than just chickening out. Let’s say you don’t want to ride an attraction but still want to hang out with your party. Chicken exits are great because they allow you to wait in the queue and then wait for your party at the end of the attraction. 

On certain attractions, the chicken exit is also used for Rider Switch, which allows families to switch riders in and out if a child is too young, too scared, or does not meet height requirements. 

Some queues are themed extensively, especially the Tower of Terror in Hollywood Studios. If you have ever wanted to take a look around the hotel lobby without riding the attraction, you can go through the queue and then exit at the chicken exit. 

We asked our amazing readers to find out what they think about chicken exits at Disney World and whether they use them themselves. 

One reader told us that they do not ride most thrill rides due to motion sickness, but they like to see the queue on rides like Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.

Another reader shared that they can’t do projection rides like Star Tours, so they are very familiar with the chicken exit. Regardless, they still find the line experience fun. 

As mentioned before, you can wait with your party in line, use the chicken exit, and then wait to rejoin your group once they are off the attraction. This is the case for one of our readers. They shared that one of their children does not enjoy thrill rides, so they use every chicken door and then meet back with the rest of their group at the end of the ride.

Sometimes, riding an attraction you are nervous or scared of does not go according to plan. One of our readers shared that while they were waiting in line for Flight of Passage, they started to get anxious, which is normal when you have a lot of time on your hands while waiting in a long queue. This reader does not like heights and decided while in the queue that they better not ride and be sorry later. They did not want to risk the ride being too intense for them.

If you ever do not feel comfortable riding an attraction, knowing that a chicken exit exists can help give you peace of mind. These exits are also a great way to accommodate different people in your party, allowing some to ride the attraction and some to wait at the end for their party. As always, stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for all the latest Disney news, tips, and updates!

It’s that time of the year when we have to keep an eye on hurricanes forming in the Atlantic Ocean. That’s because hurricanes can and have, in fact, impacted Disney World in the past.

Yes, the 2024 hurricane season is here, and it’s expected to be a very busy “potentially explosive” one. We’ve already seen a Cat 5 hurricane, Hurricane Beryl, in the U.S., that seriously impacted Texas. We’re keeping an eye out for storms that could impact Disney World, and we now have an update about a storm system that could affect Florida.

According to the National Hurricane Center, meteorologists are watching for a potential tropical depression that will form near the Leeward Islands, Greater Antilles, or southwestern Atlantic area. This storm would put most of Florida directly in its path.

The NHC is monitoring the storm, which is currently “an area of disturbed weather” that is expected to interact with an approaching tropical wave. This disturbance has a 40% chance of forming into a tropical depression over the next seven days. Of course, there is a chance that no storm forms, but 40% is a high enough percentage to cause some concern.

If the storm does develop into something stronger, and you have plans to be in Disney World, you could not only run into some seriously rainy weather during your visit (which could close down some rides and entertainment), but you could also see the parks briefly closed until the storm passes. In this case, Disney will likely suggest you stay at your hotel, but don’t worry — Cast Members are prepared to make sure you stay fed and entertained in the event that happens.

Granted, if you know a hurricane is headed to Disney World before you leave for your trip, you may be able to cancel and reschedule it for later. You’ll need to contact Disney World, though, for your options. Disney generally relaxes its cancellation policy in the event of a hurricane, so you might have some leeway if that’s what you decide to do.

We’ll continue to keep an eye out for more news about this potential storm system, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

We can’t believe just how much Disney Cruise Line has in store for us!

The Disney Treasure sets sail later this year, and we already know that not one, but TWO other cruise ships are coming in 2025. The Disney Destiny will be inspired by Disney heroes and villains and will even have passengers choose a side, while the Disney Adventure is inspired after, well, Disney adventures! But what does that really mean? Now we’ve gotten a little more information!

Disney just released a video revealing a little more information about this new cruise ship! Check it out!

A post shared by Disney Cruise Line Singapore (@disneycruiselinesg)

While the caption of the video shares that there will be seven uniquely-themed areas on board inspired by some of your favorite Pixar, Marvel, and Disney stories, from the video itself, we think this map hints at what some of those areas may be!

The beginning of the video shows a young boy playing with some of the characters from Toy Story, hinting at the Toy Story-themed area on board! So far, we know that Toy Story Place will be a spot for kids to hang out with friends from Andy’s Room in an interactive water play area with different themed food spots.

Next, we see some people posing in front of an Iron Man mural, which matches the fact that we’ve known we’re getting a Marvel area — but maybe we’ll see a focus on Iron Man! Disney previously shared that the Marvel Landing on the ship will offer an “Avengers-level adventure featuring thrilling attractions” and an all-new experience. Yes, Disney said ATTRACTIONS. New Marvel attractions on a ship, people!

The last clear clue shows a little girl in an Elsa dress looking up as it snows, so we’re expecting to see an area dedicated to Frozen, too!

We do know the names of the new areas that will be on board, though, which is incredibly exciting!

• Disney Imagination Garden
• Disney Discovery Reef
• San Fransokyo Street
• Marvel Landing
• Toy Story Place
• Town Square
• Wayfinder Bay

“Deadpool & Wolverine” continues to break records. After grossing $38.5 million on just its Thursday night previews, the film has raked in $205 million domestically.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Opening Weekend Records

“Deadpool & Wolverine” is one of only nine films to have crossed $200 million in its opening weekend, passing “Black Panther” ($202M) to become the eighth-biggest opening of all time. It’s just behind “The Avengers”, which made $207M.

The film had the highest-grossing preview day for any R-rated film and now has the biggest R-rated opening weekend ever, breaking the record set by the first “Deadpool,” which made $132M in its first weekend.

The film also has the biggest opening of the year, passing “Inside Out 2,” which had a $155M debut and ultimately became the highest-grossing animated film of all time.

“Deadpool & Wolverine” has made $233.3M internationally for a total of $438 billion. It’s already the sixth-highest-grossing film of 2024 and is likely to rocket to the top of the list. It ensured the MCU was the first franchise to make over $30 billion globally. The film’s trailer earned the Guinness World Record for “most viewed movie trailer in 24 hours.”

Shawn Levy directed “Deadpool & Wolverine,” which stars Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. It was announced in 2022 after a long and difficult development process complicated by Disney’s 2019 acquisition of 21st Century Fox. It’s the MCU’s first R-rated film.
