Something new AND spooky is coming soon to Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar!

A nightmare-ish treat is making its way to this unique lounge at the Disneyland Hotel, and you need to see it!

Starting October 1st, you will be able to grab a Nightmare Grog from Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar at the Disneyland Hotel. This treat is made with DOLE Whip Mango and Pineapple with a hint of Gorilla Grog, served in a The Nightmare Before Christmas souvenir cup. There is SO much to love about this treat and we are already making space on our shelves to hold this new souvenir cup.

The souvenir cup features Jack Skellington and his dog, Zero. On the other side you will find the Trader Sam’s logo and the cup is decorated with skeleton reindeer and snowflakes. Not only is the cup amazing looking, but look at the COLOR of that DOLE Whip!

While black isn’t usually a color of food that looks appetizing, we think the color works perfect with this treat. The dark gray DOLE Whip is highlighted with green stripes and looks just the right amount of spooky inside the souvenir cup. We have a feeling this treat is going to be popular! We know this treat will be available beginning October 1st, but Disney hasn’t announced how long it will be sticking around for.

Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar is already a crowded destination at the Disneyland Hotel. You can likely expect a line to get in during busy seasons, but we think the atmosphere and drinks are worth it. If you know you want to make a stop by Trader Sam’s, you can also use check for Advance Dining Reservations for this lounge!

Disneyland is full of lots of great food and drinks, and while we love Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar, there are SO many great places to dine in Disneyland. If you are feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the choices make sure you check out our ultimate guide to the best food in Disneyland:

If you happen to be a fan of a certain mischievous blue alien named Stitch, we’ve got some big news for you.

So, yes, 626 day has come and gone (and we celebrated with some fun Stitch-themed snacks), but we’ve also LOVED some of the new Stitch Halloween souvenirs we’ve seen in the parks and online. We’re still a little…well…we’re not sure HOW we feel about the live-action Stitch we’ll be seeing in movie theaters soon. But we love Stitch, and because of that, we’ve created the PERFECT Stitch Tee to celebrate that love.

Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter has been getting some updates recently, and we are excited to take you along to see some of the changes!

This New Orleans inspired resort is full of Mardi Gras spirit year-round, and we are taking you all along with us as we stay in a newly renovated room!

Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter has been getting some upgrades to its rooms recently. Construction began in May 2024 and is expected to conclude in November 2024. Buildings 1 and 2 are now officially refurbished and we are fortunate to be able to get to stay in one of these BRAND-NEW rooms!

Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter is a moderate resort hotel that is inspired by New Orleans’s historic French Quater. The hotel is loaded with Mardi Gras spirit all year long and features a Mardi Gras-themed pool, jazz club, and even horse-drawn carriage rides! You can also stroll along the Sassagoula River to its sister resort, Port Orleans Resort — Riverside or enjoy a boat ride to Disney Springs.

The resort has been working on upgrading some of its rooms for the past few months, and we are excited to be able to give you a first look at the new rooms. So far, just Buildings 1 and 2 have completed their refurb, with Building 2 just opening to guests yesterday, September 29th. So, let’s take a look inside these new rooms!

Our room had two beds in it, and we love the gorgeous detailing above the beds and on the bathroom door. The beds are made with white sheets and a pop of orange from the throw pillows. We even got our very own Mickey towel to welcome us into the room!

The beds have a gorgeous pattern above them, and we love the calming green color. The pattern features instruments such as drums and a trumpet. The throw pillow adds the perfect pop of color. On either side of the bed, there is also a personal light.

Here is a closer look at the light! We love this added feature so you can have a light if you want to read or something else before bed without needing to have on a room light.

On the other side of the room, there is a small seating area and a dresser. Above the dresser is the TV. There were two pieces of gorgeous artwork featuring Princess Tiana, Prince Naveen, and Louis. 

We loved the artwork scattered throughout the room, including this beautiful art featuring Charlotte La Bouff dancing to a band.

We loved seeing a new plug on the dresser as well. This plug has two normal outlets, as well as a HDMI port, USB-C, and USB plug. There are lots of things to charge nowadays, so it was nice to see a large plug on the dresser.

The room also comes with “Hey Disney!” which is a voice assistant experience that has been created specifically for guests of Disney World hotels. “Hey Disney!” can help with all sorts of things including ordering you more towels, telling jokes, and waking you up with a message from Mickey Mouse and pals.

At the far end of the dresser, you will find a drink station where you can make your tea and coffee. This is also where the ice bucket is stored. The drink area is decorated with a fun background of brick and wrought iron, with Mardi Gras beads draped over. 

You will also find a mini fridge below the drink station which can be stocked with your favorite drinks and snacks.

These rooms also have an updated thermostat that is easy to read and adjust so you can select the perfect temperature.

Now let’s take a look inside the bathroom! We were excited to see lots of storage space in the bathroom and double sinks. We also loved the tiling details in the bathroom!

There is a door that can be closed that separates the shower and toilet area from the sink area of the bathroom. The shower is a walk-in shower.

You will also find shampoo, conditioner, and body wash available inside the shower.

The toilet is located right next to the shower. It is a little tight in this area, but there is still plenty of space to move around!

The main bathroom area has a wonderful mirror that can be moved around to help you get ready.

There is more storage available next to the sink area too! 

So far, we are really liking the newly refurbished room at Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter. While only two buildings are completed so far, we are hoping to see even more rooms get renovated.

Something dark and foreboding is coming to Magic Kingdom in Disney World, and we must give you fair warning…

Those dastardly Disney Villains are moving in! In August 2024, Disney officially announced that Magic Kingdom is expanding the theme park with a brand new Villains Land! In order for you to be fully prepared for this wicked new addition, we’re chatting about exactly where their new lair — I mean, Land — is going to be located in Disney World’s original theme park.

But first, we’re going back in time… AAAALLLL the way back to September 2022. It was then that Disney shared some ideas behind a “blue sky” project — “Beyond Big Thunder Mountain” — that would potentially bring a NEW land (or possibly lands) to Magic Kingdom. Then, in April of 2024, Disney shared that the first steps had been taken to begin this massive expansion. Finally, in August 2024, Disney confirmed that a previously-hinted-about Villains Land is indeed becoming a reality!

That’s right! Apparently someone has decided that “it’s time Ursula took matters into her own tentacles” and set up shop in Magic Kingdom!

According to Disney, “guests will be able to venture Beyond Big Thunder Mountain into an all-new land dedicated to Disney Villains” and also stated that “Walt Disney Imagineering is pushing creative boundaries to dark and mysterious levels to bring this new, first-of-its-kind land to life.”

There is some land, you see, literally past Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland that has been deemed suitable for new construction. And that is where the Disney Villains will find their home in Villains Land… right beyond “The Wildest Ride in the Wilderness!”

What will fill this space beyond Big Thunder Mountain? Disney has shared that TWO major attractions, along with new dining and shopping experiences will be presented “on an incredibly twisted grand scale.”

When we zoom into the concept art (as seen above), we believe one of the things we are seeing are tracks for a potential roller coaster in the land.

This massive new Villains-themed land, together with the also-announced Cars expansion coming to Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland, will make up the largest expansion in the history of Disney World’s original theme park. And, believe it or not, there is SO MUCH MORE where that came from… and you can hear about every single major Disney park project and expansion announced at this year’s D23 Event in our DFBGuide YouTube video below!

We’re less than 100 days from Christmas! We can’t believe it, can you?!

We might not be decorating our trees yet (but no judgment if you are!), but we are getting our wish lists and shopping lists started! We’re getting ready to buy goodies for all our loved ones, as well as some treats for ourselves (because you deserve it). Luckily, Disney just opened its Holiday Shop online, and we know exactly what we’re adding to our cart before it sells out.

Grab the NEW Holiday Starbucks Tumbler

Starbucks tumblers are SUPER popular, especially the seasonal ones. Luckily, the new holiday tumbler hasn’t sold out — yet! This fancy green tumbler has strands of Mickey Mouse lights decorating it and a fun candy cane-style straw. It’s perfect for the upcoming Christmas and holiday season. However, if you love this new design, you’ll probably want to grab it ASAP because seasonal tumblers are known to sell out.

Get It Here!

Don’t miss out on all the new holiday goodies on the Disney Store! And keep following DFB for more Disney news!
