Why Disney's Star Wars hotel failed, plus DVC Steamboat Willie and more
<p>As predicted, it's the end of the line for Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, the ill-fated Disney immersive experience. The three reasons why this failed, plus magical Steamboat Willie at the new Disneyland Hotel DVC tower and a tempting new menu for Hollywood Brown Derby at Hollywood Studios.</p><p><strong>As Predicted, Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser is Done<br></strong><br></p><p>It was doomed to fail before it ever sailed, which we discussed at length most recently in Episodes 163 and 168</p><p>We now know the final voyage for Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser will take place Sept. 28-30, 2023.</p><p><br>While Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser was one of our most creative projects Disney has ever implemented at Walt Disney World, there were a number of epic fails that have led to its demise.</p><p>· Bad marketing that pandered to "influencers" and turned off their upscale target guest demographic</p><p>· An immersive experience that wasn't truly immersive, a ban on mobile devices should have been number one</p><p>· Guest accommodations that were not of the stature they should have been. This could have been remedied while staying on theme.</p><p><br>Disney is currently contacting guests who had booked voyages to sort out how they will manage this in the time remaining</p><p>All is not lost, however. We shared several ideas for what we believe are workable solutions for this space. So we will see how things evolve over the coming months.</p><p><br>--</p><p> </p><p><strong>Steamboat Willie at the Upcoming Villas at Disneyland Hotel</strong></p><p><br>Classic Disney animation is at the heart of the theming for the upcoming Disney Vacation Club property at Disneyland Hotel (opening in September).</p><p><br>As part of this, the new Palette Pool, Palm Breeze Bar, and themed splash pad will incorporate elements from Steamboat Willie.</p><p>A large model of the Steamboat Willie boat will be captained by Mickey Mouse as it comes to life with fun water play features. From the boat’s cascading waterfall, misty fog effects rising from the boat’s funnels and the variety of pop jets and fountains, it promises to be an instant classic for your little ones.</p><p><br>Thanks to a little Disney magic, after dark the Steamboat Willie splash pad will transform from black and white to vivid colors with the help of some artistic lighting.</p><p><br>For us older kids, the artist-palette-shaped pool anchored by rainbow glow of multi-colored lounge areas will be a place to relax and unwind.</p><p>Drinks and snacks will be available at the Palm Breeze Bar. This outdoor venue will feature modern decor inspired by the imaginative artistry of Disney Legend, Mary Blair (who also worked on <em>it’s a small world </em>and the murals in the Grand Canyon Concourse at Walt Disney World’s Contemporary Resort Hotel).</p><p><br>--</p><p> </p><p><strong>New Seasonal Menu at The Hollywood Brown Derby</strong></p><p><br>Hollywood Brown Derby at Disney’s Hollywood Studios recently launched a new seasonal menu. Will this help to elevate this Signature Dining to a level that it has never really reached?</p><p><br>New starters include the Crab Louie, which features crispy olive bread, citrus blend, fried capers and Louie sauce. There's also Shrimp Cocktail topped with shaved fennel cucumbers and a traditional cocktail sauce.</p><p><br>For cheese lovers, the Heirloom Tomato and Burrata Salad combines shaved onions, Thai basil, gremolata, and a delicious citrus vinaigrette, while the Charcuterie Board features the Chef’s selection of cured meats, cheeses, and accompaniments.</p><p><br>An Escargot app is accompanied by roasted garlic béchamel and crispy prosciutto and the Roasted Bone Marrow is composed of braised beef, pickled mustard seeds and a fig bread crostini. </p><p>The entrée menu includes a classic Filet Mignon with glazed carrots, potato pave, horseradish cream and a peppercorn sauce. The Lamb Shank comes with summer vegetables, harissa vinaigrette, and nasturtium chermoula.</p><p> </p><p>The new Free-Range Chicken and Dumplings dish features a lemon-ricotta Gnudi, shishito cream, and a gooseberry jus. If pork is your thing, the recently added Grilled Pork comes with a lavender-sage polenta and local corn salsa, complete with a huckleberry barbecue sauce.</p><p> </p><p>On the seafood side, the Sustainable Fish dish has a white bean ragout, derby summer vegetables, and roasted tomato emulsion. The Seafood Cioppino brings together shrimp, sea scallops, seasonal fish, mussels, a toasted baguette and aromatic tomato broth.</p><p> </p><p>Finally, there's even a classic comfort dish in the Shepherd’s Pie. This combines roasted garlic mashed potatoes, mushrooms, peas, corn, and carrot Romesco and it's plant-based.</p><p>Disney notes that the Cobb Salad and Grapefruit Cake are both still on the menu.</p><p><br>--</p><p><strong>Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Podcast<br></strong><br>Thank you very much for listening to this episode, Amelia and I hope that you enjoyed it.

The Long Awaited News from Disney World: Who Wins and Who Loses
<p>Disney just announced major changes for Park Pass, Genie+, Lightning Lane, Disney Dining Plan and more for Walt Disney World 2024. We discuss who wins and who loses among Disney travelers at Walt Disney World in 2024 (and even some good news for right now). Plus, this week we cover what it all means for you, including Guardians of the Galaxy movie tie-ins, new Adventures by Disney options and more from Star Wars, Encanto, Soul and beyond.</p><p><strong>2024 is Going to Be a Good Year at Walt Disney World (for most travelers, but not all)<br></strong><br>You can start booking 2023 Disney World vacations on May 31, 2023 and there's a lot to look forward to next year. Here's a sneak peek at what to expect:</p><p><strong><em>No More Theme Park Reservations!</em></strong><strong><br></strong>As of January 9, 2024, if you have a date-based ticket, you won't need to make theme park reservations.</p><p><strong><em>Annual Passholders will Still Need Park Reservations...but not always.</em></strong><strong><br></strong>It gets more complicated for Disney World Annual Passholders. Disney plans to offer what they're calling "good-to-go" days with means AP holders won't need park reservations for select days. This will be in addition to the recent update that offers Passholders the opportunity to visit the theme parks after 2:00 p.m. without needing a park reservation, except on Saturdays and Sundays at Magic Kingdom Park. “Good-to-go” days may vary by park, and pass block out dates and capacity limitations continue to apply like they do today. Please stay tuned for more details on “good-to-go” days. This is a step in the right direction for local AP holders, but doesn't help you much at all if you are an out-of-state WDW AP holder who books weekly vacations multiple times a year. It looks like those of us in this boat will be stuck with Park Pass for the foreseeable future.<br> <br><strong><em>The Disney Dining Plan is Back</em></strong><strong><br></strong>Disney dining plans will be coming back as an option for guests staying at Walt Disney World Resort hotels who purchase a vacation package with Disney for stays starting January 9, 2024.</p><p><strong><em>Genie+ Bookings Will Be Bookable in Advance</em></strong><br>No details yet, but Disney has announced they're working on allowing us to make Genie+ and Lightning Lane bookings in advance of the day of. It might now be 60 days out like FastPass, but any advance booking potential is a good thing in our view.</p><p><strong><em>Deluxe Resort Room Categories will Be Simplified</em></strong><br>To make it easier to book Walt Disney World Deluxe Resort Rooms, there will be a consistent three categories across all hotels: Resort View, Water View, Theme Park View. Not sure what will be the water view at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge...maybe only two categories there.</p><p>--</p><p><strong>‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ Coming to Disney Parks<br></strong><br></p><p>With the release of GOTG Volume 3, there are a few limited-time experiences coming toa Disney parks</p><p><br><strong>Disney California Adventure Park </strong></p><p>For a limited time, Mantis is joining Star-Lord at Avengers Campus for “Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Dance Off!” The celestial siblings will get their groove on in front of Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!, as they recruit those of you with the right skills to join their band of heroes.</p><p><br><strong>EPCOT</strong></p><p>Connections Café is offering Perfect Sovereign Waffle Bites topped with a red berry dipping sauce. You can also try a Guardians of the Galaxy Cookie at the Mission: SPACE Popcorn Cart, next to Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.</p><p><br>--</p><p><br><strong>Adventures by Disney is heading to Colombia for a little Encanto inspiration</strong></p><p><br><strong>A New Adventure to Bogota, the Coffee Region, Cocora Valley and Cartagena </strong></p><p>Highlights of this eight-day, seven-night itinerary in 2024 include: </p><ul>

Select Image Scanners (known on our planet as Disney PhotoPass photographers) can offer a holopuck that will reveal the details of your next target.</p><p><strong>BB-8 Magic Shot</strong></p><p>You may just find BB8 showing up in your PhotoPass image.</p><p><strong>Darksaber </strong></p><p>Created more than a thousand years ago by Tarre Vizsla (the first Mandalorian to become a Jedi Knight), the Darksaber is an ancient weapon with a long and legendary history. It has been wielded by many beings over the years. This blade can be found across from Oga’s Cantina after dark. </p><p><strong>BD-1 Magic Shot </strong></p><p>Never underestimate droids, especially those that beep in the face of danger.

During the show, you can experience a true taste of South America thanks to a selection of local Colombian beers, cocktails and sodas, along with film-inspired mocktails.</p><p><br><strong>New Soul Cat Lounge Hits the Right Note for Evening Entertainment</strong></p><p>The story of “Soul” was the inspiration for the brand-new Soul Cat Lounge designed to look like Joe Gardner’s favorite music spot in the movie: the Half Note Lounge. The space is located on deck three near Rapunzel’s Royal Table restaurant.

Fort Wilderness Goes DVC, plus 2023 Halloween Party News and Tips
<p>Disney is converting the Cabins at Fort Wilderness to Disney Vacation Club (DVC) Villas. What will this mean for DVC Members and Fort Wilderness guests? This story, plus the first look at the the 2023 edition of Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (including some insider tips).</p><p><strong>Fort Wilderness Cabins being re-imagined and converted to DVC Resort Offering<br></strong><br></p><p>In an unexpected move, Walt Disney World Resort announced plans to refresh the cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground and convert them into DVC properties.</p><p><br>The proposed plans call for more than 350 new cabins across all 750 acres to replace the existing cabins. The new cabins would use the existing footprint and take advantage of energy-efficient features.</p><p>There is a lot to unpack in this story. We discuss many questions, including how will Disney manage having a Moderate property as a Deluxe Villa? Will additional amenities be added to keep in line with DVC standards? Will the cabins located close to the Settlement Trading Post remain, or will they be removed and only the cabin neighborhoods be converted? This and more in this episode of the show.</p><p><br>Design concepts shared by Disney show what Disney calls "a fresh take on the current cabin experience ... while also paying homage to the resort’s unique culture and heritage through the magic of Disney storytelling." The design has received mixed reviews. The one-bedroom cabins sleep up to six adults, and feature a bathroom, living room, full kitchen and private patio. A select number of cabins are also expected to be dog-friendly. </p><p>In our view, the design concepts shared by Disney do not fill well in Fort Wilderness. They look more like sheds than cabins and are far too modern for the theming of this property.</p><p>As with all Disney Vacation Club resorts, the cabins would continue to be open for reservations to all guests, based on availability.</p><p>The planned cabins are part of a collection of improvement projects underway at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground that are designed to enhance the guest experience. Examples include proposed pool and walking trail enhancements as well as new expanded dining experiences at Trail’s End Restaurant and Crockett’s Tavern, with more exciting news to come.</p><p>The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort – A Disney Vacation Club Resort is projected to open in 2024 and would be the 17th Disney Vacation Club resort. As always, more details will follow and we will share them here at that time. </p><p><strong>Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Returns to Walt Disney World from August 11 to November 1<br></strong><br></p><p>Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will return to Magic Kingdom Park on August 11 -- one of its earliest kick-offs yet. </p><p>MNSSHP features Halloween entertainment, Disney characters dressed in their Halloween best and more. This is a limited capacity, ticketed nighttime event that starts at 7 p.m. and allows guests to experience potentially shorter wait times on attractions, themed food and drinks and more. </p><p>When Do <strong>Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Tickets Go on Sale?<br></strong><br></p><p>If you have a reservation booked at one of the select Walt Disney World Resort hotels, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels, or Shades of Green, you can buy tickets starting April 27, 2023. Tickets for everyone else will go on sale on May 2. </p><p><br><strong>Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party </strong>Dates are:</p><p>August: 11, 15, 18, 22, 25, 29</p><p>September: 1, 4, 8, 10, 12, 15, 17, 19, 22, 24, 26, 28, 29</p><p>October: 1, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19, 20, 22, 24, 26, 27, 29, 31</p><p>November: 1</p><p><strong>Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Ticket Prices and Discounts<br></strong><br></p><p>Tickets for MNSSHP range in price from <strong>$109.00 to $199.00 for adults</strong> and from <strong>$99.00 to $189.00 for kids aged 3-9, depending on the night</strong>. It is generally more expensive closer to Halloween. Disney Vacation Club (DVC) Members and Annual Passholders will get a $10.00 per ticket discount on select nights.</p><p><strong>Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade <br></strong><br></p><p>Mickey's Boo-To-You Halloween Parade is an event highlight where Disney villains stride down Main Street, U.S.A. (alongside Disney heroes) and other Disney characters. Disney has hinted at some new faces this year.</p><p><strong>The Nighttime Fireworks Show is Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular<br></strong><br></p><p>Jack Skellington hosts Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular, which features projections, special effects and lighting paired with fireworks, music and Disney characters.</p><p><strong>Trick-or-Treat for Bags of Candy and Sweets<br></strong><br></p><p>Trick-or-treat locations are located throughout Magic Kingdom Park and you can load up on name brand candy and chocolate. Disney supplies the bag (but you may want a bigger one if you plan to go all out). </p><p><strong>The Sanderson Sisters are Back<br></strong><br></p><p>The Sanderson Sisters from Hocus Pocus are back for an adventure to summon the ultimate Hocus Pocus Party Potion during the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular stage show at Cinderella Castle.</p><p>During the party, you will have the opportunity to experience attractions including Haunted Mansion, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and TRON Lightcycle / Run. In a new move, TRON Lightcycle / Run will use a virtual queue* during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, allowing guests to enjoy all the festivities while they wait to enter the Grid. More details to follow on that. </p><p>*V<em>irtual queues are limited and subject to availability, times are subject to change, and joining a virtual queue does not guarantee entrance to any experience.</em></p><p>---</p><p><strong>Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Podcast<br></strong><br>Thank you very much for listening to this episode, Amelia and I hope that you enjoyed it.

Check for more festival news any time at <a href="https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/events-tours/epcot/epcot-international-food-and-wine-festival/">TasteEPCOT.com</a>. </p><p>--</p><p><br><strong>NEW Capture Your Moment Photo Sessions Coming to Magic Kingdom</strong></p><p><br>Capture Your Moment is a Disney PhotoPass product that offers a 20-minute personalized photo session with a Disney PhotoPass photographer in any Disney World Park you choose. </p><p><br>Magic Kingdom photo session locations have included Main Street, U.S.A. and around Cinderella Castle. Now they've added a new Capture Your Moment experience in Fantasyland, starting on May 1.</p><p><br>New locations include the back of Cinderella Castle, Prince Charming Regal Carousel, Rapunzel’s tower, Prince Eric’s castle, Storybook Circus, Belle and Maurice’s cottage, outside of Beast’s castle, around Mad Tea Party and more. Entrance to the rides or attractions in any of these locations is not part of the photo service. You are guaranteed one photo location per session, but if you act quickly, it is possible to visit a few locations to take photos within your time slot. Check-in for this experience is at Sir Mickey’s (just behind Cinderella Castle) where a photographer will help you choose a photo prop and the location(s) you want to use. </p><p>Disney also noted you may even be able to visit a location beyond Fantasyland to capture photos, such as the Haunted Mansion or other spots in Liberty Square. Ask your photographer about available options and how long they'd have to capture photos at these locations.</p><p>Each Capture Your Moment session is $99.00 and can include a maximum of eight guests. Photos are not included in the price of a session. If you have a Disney PhotoPass entitlement such as Memory Maker or Memory Maker One Day, as well as qualifying Annual Passholders with a Disney PhotoPass download benefit, can download the photos taken during Capture Your Moment at no extra cost. You can also opt to purchase photos individually.</p><p>Bookings for Capture Your Moment in Fantasyland will open on April 24, with sessions offered daily starting May 1. Bookings can be made up to 60 days in advance, and advance reservations are strongly recommended. A limited number of same-day reservations may be available; so check the My Disney Experience app for availability.</p><p>If you want to do Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique before a Capture Your Moment session in Fantasyland, Disney recommends booking a photo session to begin at least two hours after the start of the boutique time.</p><p>--</p><p><br></p><p><strong>‘Rogers: The Musical’ to Premiere June 30 for a Limited Time at Disney California Adventure Park<br></strong><br></p><p>In the first episode of “Hawkeye,” viewers saw a Broadway musical featuring the life of Steve Rogers, Captain America. Disney has now officially announced that a real-life one-act musical theater production of “Rogers: The Musical” will hit the stage at the Hyperion Theater at Disney California Adventure Park for a limited-time engagement, starting June 30, 2023. </p><p>The production features a cast of singers and dancers telling the story of Steve Rogers joined by Peggy Carter, Nick Fury and select members of the Avengers. The musical will take us on a journey from Steve’s humble beginnings during World War II to becoming Captain America, leading the Avengers and beyond. </p><p>Music will include “Save the City,” from the Disney+ series “Hawkeye”; “Star Spangled Man” from the film “Captain America: The First Avenger”; plus, five new original songs written just for “Rogers: The Musical” at the Disneyland Resort.</p><p>“Rogers: The Musical” is a 30 minute show that will take place from Tuesday through Saturday most weeks. More details as the date draws closer.</p><p>--</p><p><strong>Mama Odie to Make a Big Appearance in Tiana’s Bayou Adventure<br></strong><br></p><p>New ride renderings released by Disney show Mama Odie joking with guests along the journey after a special display of her magic. The two-hundred-year-old Bayou Fairy Godmother, with her eccentric belongings and “seeing eye snake” Juju, is comically eccentric (yet wise and all-knowing) throughout the adventure. Actress Jenifer Lewis, who voiced Mama Odie in “The Princess and the Frog,<em>”</em> is returning to her role for the attraction.</p><p> </p><p>To make room for this new magic, Splash Mountain at Disneyland park will be closed starting May 31, 2023, so we can begin the next phase of development for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.</p><p><br>--</p><p><strong>Star Tours Sets Course for New Adventures in 2024<br></strong><br></p><p>In 2024, Disney will (finally) be adding more stories and characters to Star Tours at both Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida and Disneyland Park in California. It has been awhile since significant updates have occurred. Will we now see the Mandalorian and Baby Yoda (aka Grogu) onboard?</p><p>--</p><p><br><strong>Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Podcast<br></strong><br>Thank you very much for listening to this episode, Amelia and I hope that you enjoyed it.

The Walt Disney World Annual Pass Episode: Is a Pass Worth it?
<p>The complete guide to Walt Disney World Annual Passes, including real-life costs and break-even points so you can decider whether it's worth it to buy a Disney World Annual Pass. This story plus DisneyBand+ versus MagicBand+ and what's the difference?</p><p><strong>The Walt Disney World Annual Pass Episode </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Everything you Want to Know About Annual Passes Before AP Sales Return to Walt Disney World<br></strong><br></p><p>New sales of the Disney Incredi-Pass, Disney Sorcerer Pass and Disney Pirate Pass start on April 20. Quantities will be limited and passes may become unavailable at any time.</p><p><br>Eligible DVC Members will have the opportunity to purchase the DVC Disney Sorcerer Pass starting April 13 as part of DVC Membership Magic benefits.</p><p><br>Passholder benefits: Passholders get access to select Disney PhotoPass benefits (age restrictions apply) and (as of April 18) can visit the parks after 2:00 p.m. without needing a park reservation -- except on Saturdays and Sundays at Magic Kingdom Park. Pass blockout dates continue to apply for certain passes.</p><p><br>This is the first time Walt Disney World annual passes will be available for general purchase since sales of all but the Florida residents pass were suspended in November 2021.</p><p><br>Prices for the Walt Disney World Annual Passes are:</p><ul>
<li>
<strong>Incredi-Pass:</strong> $1,399</li>

Let's Do the Math</strong></p><p><br>Using our real-life example from Spring 2023, the cost of Disney Parks Tickets (Park Hopper Plus) ages 10+ and valid any 8 days was <strong>$800.66. </strong>Looking at the costs above, that means that if you generally travel to Walt Disney World for approximately 10 days in a year (or more), then the Disney Sorcerer Pass is worth it (if you qualify). If you generally travel to Walt Disney World for approximately 14 days in a year (or more), then the Disney Incredi-Pass is worth it.</p><p>--</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>DisneyBand+ Wearable Technology is coming to Disney Cruise Line: Is this Just a DCL-branded MagicBand+?<br></strong><br></p><p>DisneyBand+ is coming to Disney Cruise Line, starting with a preview on select Disney Wish sailings before it officially debuts.</p><p>With DisneyBand+, you will be able to take advantage of hands-free conveniences for the first time on a Disney cruise. With three Disney Cruise Line-exclusive designs to choose from, DisneyBand+ is a new accessory for a Disney cruise vacation.</p><p><br><em>What Does DisneyBand+ Do?</em></p><p>DisneyBand+ will allow you to unlock your stateroom door and charge to your payment card on your stateroom folio. </p><p> </p><p>Children aged 3 and up can use their bands (instead of the Oceaneer Club Band) to access kids’ clubs while onboard the ship and at Scuttle’s Cove, Castaway Cay.</p><p> </p><p>Onboard photographers around the ship will tap your DisneyBand+ to link photos to your stateroom, making it easier to view and purchase photos during their cruise.</p><p>DisneyBand+ will also allow you to uncover surprises throughout the cruise, so watch for extra moments of magic. </p><p>The big question is, isn't this just a MagicBand+ with Disney Cruise Line designs?</p><p> </p><p>While we don't know for certain, the answer appears to be yet. </p><p> </p><p>In the FAQ, DIsney states: "Your Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort MagicBand+ can be used as a DisneyBand+ during select Disney Cruise Line sailings." Plus, Disney also notes that you can use a DisneyBand+ for Walt Disney World and Disneyland hotels and theme parks.</p><p><strong>Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Podcast<br></strong><br>Thank you very much for listening to this episode, Amelia and I hope that you enjoyed it.

Is Disneyland Paris following Walt Disney World's Lead with APs?
<p>Is Disneyland Paris following Walt Disney World's lead with annual passes? Plus, Disney Cruise Line sets up port in Singapore and Disney World tells you why you should visit this summer.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Disneyland Paris is Pausing Annual Pass Sales</strong></p><p> </p><p>In a familiar trend at other resorts, Disneyland Paris is now the latest to apparently pause the sale of annual passes. Stories are circulating that an entirely new annual pass sales offering may be coming.</p><p> </p><p>At Walt Disney World, Disney continues to defy the odds with no new sales of annual passes. Meanwhile, Annual Pass park entry lanes sit empty; leading us to believe that they are nowhere annual pass sales capacity, but instead are purposely not selling annual passes because guests (like us) continue to pay full rack rate for park admission.</p><p> </p><p>Will annual pass sales ever resume at Walt Disney World or is something else coming our way?</p><p><br><strong>--</strong></p><p><br><strong>Disney Cruise Line to New Cruise Ship to Southeast Asia</strong></p><p><br>Disney Cruise Line and the Singapore Tourism Board have agreed to collaborate to have a brand-new Disney cruise ship exclusively port in Singapore for at least five years, starting in 2025. More details about the maiden voyage, itineraries and onboard experiences will be announced at a later date.</p><p><br>The new ship will feature "innovative Disney experiences" along with the Disney Cruise style of entertainment, dining and more.</p><p><br>--</p><p><br><strong>Disney has Released its Three Reasons to Be Excited for Walt Disney World this Summer (but these may not be the best reasons)</strong></p><p><br><strong>1. Special Discounted Resort Pricing: Limited Offer</strong></p><p>Walt Disney World is offering summer travel deals with savings up to 25% on stays at select Disney Resort hotels. </p><p><br><strong>2. Exclusive Early Morning Entry and Late Night Hours</strong></p><p>One of the best benefits of staying at a Disney Resort hotel is the option to take advantage of 30-minute early entry into the theme parks every day. Guests of Disney Deluxe Resort Hotels or Deluxe Villas can also enjoy extended evening hours, in select parks, on select nights. </p><p><br><strong>3. Complimentary Overnight Self-Parking at Disney Hotels</strong></p><p>Disney World recently brought back complimentary overnight self-parking for guests of Disney Resorts hotels. Disney Resort hotel guests also get complimentary standard parking at Walt Disney World theme parks. </p><p>--</p><p><br><strong>Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Podcast<br></strong><br>Thank you very much for listening to this episode, Amelia and I hope that you enjoyed it.

When NOT to pay For Genie+ and is Disney After Hours worth it?
<p>In our latest Walt Disney World Trip Report for Spring 2023, we ran several real-life Disney travel tests and you may be surprised by what we found.

Should Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser Become a Dinner Theater?
<p>It's becoming more apparent that Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser is in trouble. Voyages have been scaled back and the financial media are calling it Disney's first Star Wars blunder. We discuss ways Disney could reimagine Galactic Starcruiser to turn it profitable and make it more accessible to guests. This story plus news about the new Disneyland Hotel DVC villas.</p><p><strong>Recent Changes to Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Signal this Experience is Not Sustainable</strong></p><p><br>New dates for <em>Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser</em> voyages are now on sale for dates from October through December 2023. </p><p>So will anything change with how the experience is run? The modified schedule has been reduced to only two voyages per week. Holiday weeks may have three voyages. Disney noted that they have been "learning a lot during our first year of operation and have adjusted voyage dates to meet the needs of our guests." But the fact is that something is wrong with this model and it is likely not financially sustainable unless something changes.</p><p>It remains to be seen what will happen with this experience in the long-term as the only certainty is that Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is not working out as Disney had planned or hoped.</p><p> </p><p>Should Disney reimagine this into a dinner theater with no overnight component, or convert the entire Starcruiser into a restaurant/dining experience? We discuss the options in this week's episode of the Disney Travel News Podcast at 1923 Main Street.</p><p> </p><p>One thing is for sure, Disney is keenly aware that they cannot sustain this experience in its current form and demand for only two sailings per week is not likely profitable, nor what Disney had in mind. The financial media have taken notice and this will not bode well for the company unless some significant changes are made.</p><p><br>--</p><p><strong>The Villas at Disneyland Hotel will open on September 28, 2023</strong></p><p> </p><p>The Villas at Disneyland Hotel will have 344 themed rooms, including duo studios, deluxe studios, one- and two-bedroom villas and grand villas. Each includes modern just-like-home amenities with Disney magic sprinkled throughout. Room themes include The Jungle Book, Sleeping Beauty, The Princess and the Frog, Fantasia and more.</p><p>Booking dates to keep in mind:</p><ul>

A Hot New Disney Parks Collectible is Coming to Disneyland Toontown
<p>We just learned a little more about what's coming with the reopening of Mickey's Toontown (and if you love Disney Parks collectibles, this one's for you). This story, plus freebies you'll love at Disney Aulani in Hawaii and how (and where) to celebrate the Oscars at Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort.</p><p><strong>Mickey’s Toontown has More to Offer than You May Think<br></strong><br></p><p>Mickey’s Toontown at Disneyland Resort is set to reopen on March 19, 2023 and there are a few extra surprises that may just steal the show.</p><p>This week we share a first look at the huge array of tempting snacks and drinks to discover (plus a special new Disney collectible). There are two new food locations: Café Daisy and Good Boy! Grocers. </p><p><br>Café Daisy is a brand new eatery where Daisy Duck will be showing off her expert culinary skills with the help of our talented Disney culinary teams. </p><p><br>Daisy’s Dressed-up Dog is an all-beef foot-long hot dog, with chili-cheese sauce, mac & cheese, and Parmesan potato crispies with house-made chips. Want a simpler hot dog, The Daisy Dog is an all-beef foot-long hot dog with house-made chips and you get the option of adding chili-cheese sauce.</p><p> </p><p>The Cheesy Pizza Flop-Over features mozzarella and provolone with tomato sauce while the Pepperoni Pizza Flop-Over has pepperoni, mozzarella, and provolone with tomato sauce. </p><p> </p><p>The Spring Garden Wrap is plant-based and combines romaine and quinoa in a wrap with a creamy lemon dressing and toasted pumpkin seeds served with house-made chips.</p><p> </p><p>Your little ones can enjoy the Cheese Please! Pizza (cheese and tomato sauce) or the Pepperoni Please! Pizza (pepperoni, cheese, and tomato sauce). There are also bite-size Minnie’s Mini Corn Dogs and a Mini Mac and Cheesy.</p><p> </p><p>Toontown ‘Tater Chips are house-made chips with chili-cheese sauce to add on to any meal. For dessert, Daisy’s Goody-Goody Donuts with cinnamon sugar are an option for a sweet finish to your meal.</p><p>Let's not forget the new drinks! The Picnic Time Watermelon Lemonade is a refreshing choice with Minute Maid Zero Sugar Lemonade, watermelon premium syrup, and watermelon gummies. If you like coffee, the Specialty Cold Brrr-ew is made with Joffrey's Caramel Mudslide Cold Brew plus sea salt and whipped topping.</p><p>Over at the Toontown Farmers Market there's Good Boy! Grocers. This is a roadside stand with grab-and-go drinks and treats. You'll find pickles, Mini Babybel snack cheese, Coke drinks, water bottles, Topo Chico Sparkling Mineral Water, gluten allergy-friendly cookies, fruit bars, and whole fruit.</p><p>The star of the show here is the Perfect Picnic Basket novelty item. After you pick up your basket, you choose three snack-sized items such as Cuties Mandarin Orange, yogurt smoothie, applesauce, granola bar, gluten allergy-friendly fig bar and more. You also pick between a small DASANI water or Minute Maid Juice Box. And if you want the full experiences, get the Perfect Picnic Blanket to go with their basket.</p><p>---</p><p><strong>‘Ohana Summer Fun at Disney’s Aulani Resort in Hawaii<br></strong><br></p><p>Summer holidays aren't that far away so if you are planning a Hawaiian vacation including Disney's Aulani Resort, Disney released a summer holiday resort overview.</p><p>Here's a look at some of what Aulani offers so you can start planning now.</p><p>A guided <em>Māka‘ika‘i</em> (tour or sightsee) is a great way to explore Aulani and get lots inside info on the resort. There are several different free tour options:</p><ul>

<strong>Māka‘ika‘i, the Nature and Wildlife of Aulani Resort:</strong> This tour takes you on a walking tour of Aulani with an in-depth look at the perfectly curated balance of manmade structures and natural surroundings. An entertaining guide will also highlight the broad canopy of the Waikolohe Valley, the lush space full of “mischievous waters” between the two towers, and the other beautiful natural spaces that call Aulani home.</li>
<li>
<strong>Māka‘ika‘i, The Art of Aulani Resort: </strong>When designing Aulani, Disney Imagineers reached out to local artists to help tell the stories of Hawai‘i throughout the resort. This tour how island inspiration helped bring the resort to life. Along the way, a guide will showcase unique interior design aspects, dramatic storytelling murals and one of the largest collections of contemporary Hawaiian artwork on the islands.</li>
</ul><p>The Daily <em>‘Iwa</em> (aka Aulani’s daily activities schedule) will show available tour times and much more.</p><p><strong><em>Forget Hidden Mickeys...Aulani has something much more Hawaiian</em></strong></p><p><br>The Menehune are mischievous, shy and maybe even a little magical beings of Hawai‘i.

The Menehune Adventure Trail will take you on a high-tech, interactive scavenger hunt for fun surprises. Armed with a special Aulani tablet, you will solve riddles, discover hidden wonders and learn about Hawaiian history and culture along the way. Best of all this is a free adventure and great for kids and adults alike. </p><p><strong><em><br>Learn the ‘ukulele</em></strong></p><p><br>Music is a beautiful and meaningful part of Hawaiian culture. Ukulele sounds are everywhere at Aulani and you can learn to play with fun classes by Aulani cast members in the Pau Hana Room.</p><p>It's a 45-minute interactive experience, you'll learn a little Hawaiian instrument history and learn to play a few chords on the ‘ukulele. By the end of the class, you'll be able to play along with some of today’s popular songs.</p><p>--</p><p><strong>Oscar Treats and Special Photo Opportunities at Disneyland and Walt Disney World</strong></p><p>Watch for special treats and photo opps at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland in celebration of this year's Oscars.

Trail's End Reaches the End, plus EPCOT Flower Garden Food Top Picks
<p>The closings and openings coming up at Walt Disney World, including one that will upset a lot of guests. This plus EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival top food picks, more Disney After Hours events, new DVC villas and more Disney travel news.</p><p><strong>Openings and Closings at Walt Disney World</strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>Trail's End is Closing at Fort Wilderness</strong><br>It looks like Trail's End has Reached the End of the Trail. For anyone who loved the buffet-style all-you-care-to-enjoy dining experience at Disney's Fort Wilderness Campground, you won't have that unlimited dessert bar anymore.</p><p>Trail's End will be closing in April and converted into a quick service marketplace. No more table service at Trail's End Fort Wilderness.</p><p><br><strong>Disney's BoardWalk Inn Club Level Concierge Lounge is Closing</strong></p><p>The Concierge Lounge at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn is closing for refurbishment on March 11 until at least the end of April. How this might affect you even if you hadn't booked Club Level there.</p><p><br><strong>Narcoossee’s is Reopening at Disney's Grand Floridian on April 1</strong></p><p>After a seven-month closure, Narcoossee's is reopening with a new design concept of land and sea. Will the new enhancements mean for a better dining experience? We're hoping it will, but the signs are not all positive that Disney has addressed past issues at Narcoossee's.</p><p> </p><p>As far as the menu is concerned, it's not entirely new--which is disappointing, as the menu was a big issue.</p><p>The Bisque is back, but with a new tableside presentation. There are also two new starters: the Beef and Ricotta Tortelloni (with brown butter, parsnip puree, and sultanta raisins) and the Ocean-inspired Charcuterie Board featuring ahi tuna pastrami, charred octopus, and house-made sausage from the sea. </p><p> </p><p>For the main course, Chef Noah’s signature dish is the Blackened Redfish. This is served with a crispy chorizo-sunchoke hash with hominy, Florida sweet corn, and red pepper rouille. </p><p>Plant-based dishes include a Roasted Vegetable Paella featuring market vegetables, cannellini beans, and preserved artichoke finished with charred Meyer lemon. Land-based fare includes a new Dry-Aged Pork Ribeye Chop served with creamy goat cheese-potatoes and turnips with onion jam and a touch of fig jus.</p><p><br>Chefs have kept Narcoossee’s staples like the Plancha-seared Scallops with Parisian Gnocchi and Surf and Turf featuring filet mignon and butter-poached lobster tail.</p><p>The dessert course kept their trademark Almond-crusted Cheesecake with Lambert cherry sauce and Chantilly cream. New dessert items include The Berry Pavlova -- artfully crafted with Florida fresh berries and citrus delicately placed over meringue and yuzu crémeux and finished with a tableside pour of anglaise. And the Pineapple Bavarois (roasted-pineapple house-made blackberry-buttermilk ice cream). </p><p><br>The wine list has been refreshed with pairings for each dish and the bar team has anew cocktail program, inspired by the Victorian era. Disney is touting a signature Empress Lime Gimlet, a modern twist on a classic gimlet with Empress Gin, Rockey’s Botanical Liqueur, and cold-pressed lime. There are non-alcoholic cocktails as well.</p><p>--</p><p><br><strong>San Fransokyo Square appears at Disney California Adventure Park in Summer 2023</strong></p><p><br>Pacific Wharf in Disney California Adventure park is transforming into San Fransokyo from Big Hero 6. It's a fictional mash-up of San Francisco and Tokyo. The story goes that ss the tech industry began to emerge and the local fishing trade fell on hard times, entrepreneurs came together to reinvent the seaside canneries into a vibrant, multicultural district of neighborhood restaurants and local shops.</p><p> </p><p>An iconic landmark of the area will be the San Fransokyo Gate Bridge, which will span the tide pools linking San Fransokyo Square to the Paradise Gardens Park obelisk. </p><p>When the transformation is completed this summer, you'll find familiar favorites like soups in freshly baked bread bowls, plus many new Asian-inspired selections. The new Port of San Fransokyo Cervecería draws inspiration from its tri-cultural influences with signage in English, Japanese and Spanish. Outside will be a beer garden decorated with festoon lights and papel picado.</p><p><br>--</p><p><br><strong>A New Theme Park and New Dates Added for Disney After Hours Events</strong></p><p><br>EPCOT has been added to Disney After Hours starting on June 1 and the price does include ice cream novelties, popcorn and select beverages available at carts throughout the park.</p><p>When Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park reopens this spring, H2O Glow After Hours will be back as of May 20.</p><p>Disney’s Hollywood Studios is adding more dates for Disney After Hours as well, starting May 3.</p><p>Tickets are now on sale and the usual discounts for DVC members and annual passholders will apply.</p><p>---</p><p><strong>The Villas at Disneyland Hotel Reveal First Look at Guest Rooms<br></strong><br></p><p>The 12-story Villas at Disneyland® Hotel tower will open this September and Disney released a first look at the room themes.</p><p>You'll find room themes including The Jungle Book, Sleeping Beauty and The Princess and the Frog.</p><p> </p><p>The one- and two-bedroom villas feature Fantasia and Princess and the Frog themes.</p><p> </p><p>The multilevel three-bedroom Grand Villa is the showstopper. It sleeps up to 12 and has Disney artistry sprinkled throughout the space. The first floor has a full kitchen, large dining area, and a double-sided fireplace connecting the living area to a private outdoor balcony. The first floor is also home to the primary suite, inspired by Bambi.</p><p>Walk up the spiral staircase to the second floor, which features two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms inspired by Frozen and Moana, plus the washer and dryer room.</p><p>Disney Vacation Club Members will have early access to cash rental reservations starting March 15, 2023, by calling Member Services at (800) 800-9800.</p><p>Disneyland Resort Magic Key holders can start booking on the following day, March 16, 2023, by contacting (714) 956-6425.</p><p>Bookings open to the public on March 17, 2023, subject to availability.</p><p>--</p><p><strong>No New Annual Pass Sales Yet, but</strong> <strong>Walt Disney World Annual Passholders Get More Perks</strong></p><ul>

Where to Find the Secret Tangled Photo Spots at Walt Disney World
<p>From where to find several secret photo opportunities based on Disney's Tangled, to exciting new Disney Weddings and ticketed event additions coming to Disneyland Resort this year, there's a lot to celebrate in this week's Disney travel news.</p><p><strong>Where to Find the Best Tangled Photo Opportunities at Walt Disney World<br></strong><br></p><p>This week, Disney went about untangling the Tangled PhotoPass opportunities at Walt Disney World. Disney PhotoPass has lots of Tangled-themed photo ops and you may not know them all. So here's where to find them.</p><p><br><strong><em>Disney PhotoPass Studio at Disney Springs</em></strong></p><p>Get photos in front of Tangled virtual backdrops. The trick is to let the photographer know that you want the Tangled photos and they'll set it up. Special bonus here: there’s a frying pan prop you can use in your photos to channel your inner Rapunzel.</p><p> </p><p><strong><em>Disney's Animal Kingdom Park</em></strong></p><p>Get Tangled at Animal Kingdom by finding the Disney PhotoPass photographer stationed at the bridge leading from the entrance of the park into Discovery Island. There's a Pascal Magic Shot to be had here, so be sure to check with the photographer to get the Tangled magic.</p><p> </p><p><strong><em>Magic Kingdom Park </em></strong></p><p>And of course, in Corona inside the Magic Kingdom, the always-alluring lantern prop photo is a classic. This one is located near Rapunzel's tower in the restroom courtyard. It's very popular and a line is pretty much standard fare.</p><p> </p><p>--</p><p> </p><p><strong>Cinderella's Carriage is Finally Coming to Disneyland</strong></p><p> </p><p>It's hard to believe it took this long but Disneyland Resort is finally launching a Cinderella Horse-Drawn Carriage to offer unique Disney celebrations for couples. Word is that the carriage will launch later this year as part of 100 Years of Wonder. <br> <br>The new Coach will be available for both Theme Park and Resort Hotel ceremonies. Walt Disney World guests have had this option for many years and now Disneyland guests will as well.</p><p> </p><p>--</p><p><br><strong>Disneyland After Dark Brings Two More Themed “Nites” To Disneyland Resort This Spring</strong></p><p><br>Disneyland After Dark is adding two more themed nights: Disneyland After Dark: Throwback Nite and Disneyland After Dark: <em>Star Wars</em> Nite. These nights typically have a three-hour pre-party mix-in from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and then the private party runs from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. </p><p><br><strong>Disneyland After Dark: Throwback Nite</strong><br> <strong>April 18 & 20, 2023, at Disneyland Park</strong></p><p><br>Grab your flashback fashions for Disneyland After Dark: Throwback Nite. inspired by the ‘50s and ‘60s, you can relive Disney’s classic past with music and entertainment that pay tribute to the first decade of Disneyland park. Mickey Mouse and his friends will be in retro outfits, along with visits from nostalgic characters. Highlights include:</p><ul>
<li>Fantasy in the Sky, a nighttime spectacular, will give a nod to the same-named fireworks display that first lit up the night at Disneyland park in 1957.</li>
<li>Retro dance parties around Disneyland park with bands and deejays playing tunes from the era.</li>
<li>Treats inspired by the park’s early days, made once again just for this event.</li>
<li>Vintage photo backdrops of attractions and posters from yesteryear like Skyway and Autopia, and from old-school Disney films shots by Disney PhotoPass photographers.</li>
</ul><p><strong>Disneyland After Dark: </strong><strong><em>Star Wars</em></strong><strong> Nite<br> May 2, 4, 8 & 11, 2023, at Disneyland Park</strong></p><p><br>Highlights include:</p><ul>
<li>Watch “<em>Star Wars:</em> Celebrate the Nite” with fireworks illuminating the skies above Disneyland park and big pyrotechnics set to the Star Wars music</li>
<li>Captain Phasma and her Stormtroopers in the March of the First Order in Tomorrowland.</li>
<li>Tuskan Raiders and Jawas will be out and about looking for trouble.</li>
<li>Lightsaber Instructional demonstrations, where you can learn to handle a lightsaber through a series of elite moves.</li>

<li>Themed snacks, such as intergalactic churros and other out-of-this-world sweets.</li>

Will Frontierland as We Know it Disappear from Walt Disney World?
<p>Will Frontierland disappear forever at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom? New details about Tiana's upcoming attraction and restaurant hint at some big changes for the area currently known as Frontierland.</p><p>This story, plus construction delays at Disneyland and construction inconveniences at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort.</p><p><strong>Not So Fast! Mickey’s Toontown Pushes Back Opening Date at Disneyland Park<br></strong><br></p><p>If you were counting down the days until March 8 for the opening of the all-new Mickey's ToonTown at Disneyland, you'll have to count a little longer. <em>According to Disney, the </em>heavy winter rain storms affecting parts of California have impacted their construction timelines, setting them back. As a result Disney has pushed back reopening date of Mickey’s Toontown to March 19, 2023. </p><p><br>This will most affect guests who have vacations planned between March 8 and March 19 and who may have been looking forward to visiting.</p><p><br><strong>--</strong></p><p><br><strong>It's Going to be Harder to Get Those Steps at Disney Grand Floridian Resort</strong></p><p><br>As we have reported in the past, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is in the midst of a fairly significant refurbishment project, which will see refreshed rooms and an updated main lobby. It's a big project that's lasting well over a year and will now be affecting the walking path between the Grand Floridian and Magic Kingdom Park. As of<strong> </strong>February 13 the pathway is closed and won't reopen until "late Spring" (whatever that means).</p><p><br>--</p><p><br><strong>There's a New Storyline Reveal for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and it May Give Some Hints of the Bigger Picture for Magic Kingdom that's Ahead<br></strong><br></p><p>Everyone knows Tiana loves cooking and the restaurant Tiana’s Palace coming to Disneyland is part of that.</p><p>But Walt Disney Imagineering is creating more to the story. It starts in the queue for Tiana's Bayou Adventure. Tiana has transformed an aging salt mine and built a much-loved brand.</p><p><br>The entire project includes a boutique farm and both a working and teaching kitchen. Tiana’s Foods is where Tiana creates all sorts of new products, including a line of original hot sauces.</p><p><br>Tiana wants to thank her family and friends and the entire community their support by throwing a big Mardi Gras party. When it turns out there’s been a bit of a mix–up with the party preparations, Tiana invites us to meet her at Tiana’s Foods to help with the missing ingredient for the party.</p><p><br>There's much more to this story, but reading into it sounds like be could see new Tiana Hot Sauces, a Magic Kingdom Mardi Gras party and Pecos Bill's transforming into Tiana's Kitchen. They may even offer food classes for kids. </p><p><br>Many people are concerned about what's happening to Frontierland, but when you factor in Beyond Big Thunder Mountain, there may be a much bigger picture about to unfold.</p><p>We'll keep you posted as Disney releases more details about what's to come at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort in 2024.</p><p>--</p><p><strong>Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Podcast<br></strong><br>Thank you very much for listening to this episode, Amelia and I hope that you enjoyed it.

Disney has a Big Problem at Star Wars Galaxy's Edge and No Solution
<p>Walt Disney World has a serious problem in Star Wars Galaxy's Edge and there's no easy solution. Our take on this, plus the Garden Rocks concert line-up, a lengthy Disney pool closure and top picks for Valentine's goodies at Disneyland and Walt Disney World.</p><p><strong>Do Disney Parks Have a Star Wars Problem?</strong></p><p> </p><p>There's trouble brewing in Galaxy's Edge and it's not coming from the Dark Side. After months of persistent rumors and speculation about the value and experience of Disney's Galactic Starcruiser, Disney has announced that it was forced to cancel several Galactic Starcruiser dates in the summer and fall months due to low occupancy, which could be a troubling sign for the hotel's future. People who had booked were offered half-off to book again on a future date. </p><p> </p><p>Speculation has been everything from the cost, to the characters involved to the repeatability of the experience. For me, it's also an issue of the guest experience, or rather the pricey and intended immersive experience being ruined by obnoxious and other annoying guests who typically ruin things for others on virtually any Disney attraction. This type of behavior has gotten worse since Covid as the entitled few have been frequently ruining it for all--so much so that Disney has changed its acceptable guest behavior policies and publicized the fact.</p><p> </p><p>No matter what the reason, is there any way to fix the problem? For us, it's not the price alone: it's the experience. If you're paying that kind of money for an immersive experience, the risk of having it jeopardized by someone filming all the time and not taking part, is a no-go. In my opinion, Disney should ban all guests from bringing phones or any kind of devices, except in your room. Anyone acting out of accepted standards should be jettisoned through the airlock. Make this clear up front. </p><p> </p><p>--</p><p><strong>Garden Rocks Concert Lineup for the 2023 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival<br></strong><br></p><p>The Garden Rocks Concert Series Line-up is coming into view for the upcoming EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival in March.

Disney Announces a Big New Freebie at Walt Disney World
<p>Disney has announced a new free entertainment option outside the parks at Walt Disney World. This story, plus what you need to know before riding Tron and a sneak peek at the Roundup Rodeo BBQ coming to Hollywood Studios.</p><p><strong>Disney has Announced a New Free Family Entertainment Option at Walt Disney World<br></strong><br></p><p>There's a new free entertainment option at Walt Disney World taking place Saturday mornings at Disney Springs. The Disney Springs Kids Club is a brand-new entertainment offering designed for the whole family to enjoy together. It takes place at Waterview Park at 10:30 a.m. every Saturday morning.</p><p><br>Unique, family-friendly acts and entertainment will be on-hand to entertain. Wassalou, the Afropop band from Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park, kicked things off at Disney Springs Kids Club. You can play bongos and maracas or just dance along in the drum circle. Not your style? How about Flight Crew Jump Rope a high-energy dance party featuring fast-paced jump-rope routines acrobatics. And yes, you can join in the fun with this one as well. Finally, DJ KD Queen will take to the stage, hosting games, singalongs and more.</p><p><br>--</p><p><br><strong>Disney Builds Anticipation with Four Key Things to Know in Advance of Tron Lightcycle Run Opening Day</strong></p><p>Riding Tron Lightcycle Run isn't going to be just a matter of lining up and getting on the ride. Before you board when the ride opens on April 4 there are four things you need to know:</p><p><strong>1. A Virtual Queue for Team Blue at Tron</strong></p><p>TRON will use a virtual queue when it opens and a standby queue will not be available.</p><p><br><strong>2. Riding Tron through Individual Lightning Lane</strong></p><p>Looking for an option to pay to play? Tron will offer a paid ILL option, so get ready to reserve your time first thing in the morning.</p><p><br><strong>3. New Locker System</strong></p><p>Tron will offer digitized lockers to store bags and loose items while you ride. The lockers are free and located within the line. Your locker will pair directly with your MagicBand, MagicBand+ or park ticket so you can easily lock and reopen your locker with a tap. If you don't have any of those, Cast Members will give you a card for your locker. There will also be small pouches in the ride cars, but it sounds like Disney isn't messing around with guests who have extra baggage.</p><p><strong>4. Disney PhotoPass Tron Ride Photo and Video </strong></p><p>Not surprisingly there will be an onboard photo and video automatically linked to your My Disney Experience account. It's important to note the following if you want your photo and video:</p><ul>
<li>Enable Bluetooth for the My Disney Experience app on your mobile device before riding. Make sure you're logged into the My Disney Experience app and keep the device out of low power mode. Your device will need to ride with you, so keep it secure. </li>
<li>The easier option is to wear a MagicBand or MagicBand+ that’s linked to a My Disney Experience account.</li>

How to Ride Tron Lightcycle Run Before it Opens to the Public
<p><strong>How to Ride TRON Lightcycle Run Before it Opens to the Public on April 4 </strong></p><p><br>Disney travelers are anticipating the opening of TRON Lightcycle / Run, which is scheduled to officially open on Tuesday, April 4, 2023 at Disney's Magic Kingdom Park.</p><p>But did you know that before the attraction officially opens there will likely be an opportunity for certain guests to get a ride? Cast members always get this perk (understandably) but Disney has basically said that Annual Passholders and eligible Disney Vacation Club Members will also be given an opportunity to throw their hats in the ring for this major perk.</p><p><br>We don't know the details yet, but there will likely be a rush to get a spot once details are announced.</p><p><br>The story of the ride is that it picks up after the “TRON: Legacy” story where Kevin’s son, Sam Flynn, has opened a second gateway into a digital world called the Grid. The first portal to this world was built at Shanghai Disneyland with the original TRON Lightcycle Power Run. So it's fun how Disney has worked to continue the story and didn't just make this a copy of the Shanghai version.</p><p>As the ride goes, you will be Team Blue against the Grid’s menacing Programs, Team Orange. Your goal is to be the first to race through eight Energy Gates and secure victory. How this all pans out remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Tron Lightcycle Run will be one of the fastest coasters at any Disney theme park in the world.</p><p>---</p><p><strong>The Positive Changes at Walt Disney World Resort:</strong></p><ol>
<li>If you're a Walt Disney World Annual Passholder you'll soon be able to visit the theme parks after 2:00 p.m. without needing a park pass reservation. The only exclusions are Saturdays and Sundays at Magic Kingdom Park and pass blackout dates.</li>
<li>You can once again self-park at Walt Disney World hotels at no cost when you are a guest staying there.</li>
<li>When you buy Disney Genie+ you'll also get free digital downloads of Disney PhotoPass attraction photos taken in the park on the day of your purchase.</li>
</ol><p>---</p><p> </p><p><strong>The Positive Changes at Disneyland </strong></p><ol>
<li>Starting February 4, 2023, if you have a Disneyland theme park ticket with a Magic Key pass or a Park Hopper ticket you can start hopping two hours earlier – starting at 11:00 a.m. </li>
<li>Disneyland will offer nearly two-months-worth of $104 park ticket dates throughout 2023, which means more opportunities to enjoy the lowest price one-day, one-park tickets.</li>
<li>Disney PhotoPass digital photo downloads taken on any Disney PhotoPass attraction during a park visit will be complimentary for ticketed park guests on the Disneyland app starting February 4 and lasting for the Disney 100 celebration.</li>
<li>Disneyland Resort will make select Magic Key passes available for new sales from time to time throughout 2023 as pass inventory becomes available. </li>
</ol><p>--</p><p><strong>Tiana’s Palace Coming to Disneyland Park in 2023<br></strong><br></p><p>Just as Tiana transformed an old sugar mill into her dream restaurant in “The Princess and the Frog,” Disney is transforming the French Market Restaurant in New Orleans Square at Disneyland Park into a news restaurant called Tiana’s Palace.</p><p>Tiana’s Palace will feature peach-colored walls and green wrought-iron balconies with elegant fixtures and appointments reminiscent of Tiana’s film life. This should fit nicely into the current vibe of New Orleans Square. The new quick-service restaurant will offer guests an authentic New Orleans menu and expand on the current items served at the location.</p><p>To make the change, the French Market Restaurant (and Mint Julep Bar) will be closed as of February 17, 2023, and will reopen as Tiana’s Palace (alongside the Mint Julep Bar with its famous mint juleps and Mickey beignets) later in 2023.</p><p>---</p><p> </p><p><strong>Moonlight Magic is Back 2023</strong></p><p> </p><p>Disney Vacation Club members, mark your calendars:</p><p> </p><p>Disney California Adventure - February 1, 2023</p><p>EPCOT - February 8 and 15, 2023</p><p>Disney's Hollywood Studios - May 11 and September 13, 2023</p><p>Disney's Animal Kingdom Park - July 11 and August 2, 2023</p><p>Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park - May 23 and August 23, 2023</p><p> </p><p>--</p><p> </p><p><strong>Pool Closures at Disney Aulani in Early 2023<br></strong><br></p><p>Aulani's two popular water slide pool areas are closing for refurbishment.</p><ul>
<li>The Volcanic Vertical body slide will be unavailable from January 16 – February 3, 2023.</li>
<li>The Tubestone Curl tube slide will be unavailable from February 20 to March 10, 2023 and </li>
</ul><p>Aulani's other water features will be open during the closures, including Waikolohe Pool and Stream, Ka Maka Pool & Grotto, the multiple whirlpool spas, Keiki Cove splash zone, and Wailana Pool.</p><p><br><strong>Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Podcast<br></strong><br>Thank you very much for listening to this episode, Amelia and I hope that you enjoyed it.

The Rides Closing Temporarily (and Forever) at Walt Disney World
<p><strong>What's the Future of Rock'n'Roller Coaster?<br></strong><br>Is Aerosmith done at Walt Disney World? That's what Disney travelers want to know.</p><p>With the New Year upon us, we know of a number of new rides and attractions coming our way at Walt Disney World and Disneyland.</p><p> </p><p>But there are also several that are closing for good or that have a future that's simply up in air with more questions than answers.</p><p> </p><p>Permanently closing or already closed at Disney's Hollywood Studios:</p><ul>
<li>Jedi Training Academy: Trials of the Temple, </li>
<li>Star Wars: Galactic Spectacular and </li>
<li>Voyage of the Little Mermaid.</li>
</ul><p>At Disney's Animal Kingdom Park:</p><ul>
<li>Kali River Rapids will close on January 9, 2023 for refurbishment (with no estimated completion date) and </li>
<li>the demolition of Primeval Whirl will soon be completed.</li>
</ul><p>At Disney's Magic Kingdom Park:</p><ul>
<li>Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is closing for a short refurbishment in January, </li>
<li>while Splash Mountain will close on January 23, 2023 for the Tiana ride overhaul. </li>
</ul><p>Most of the talk now is focused on Rock'n'Roller Coaster, which is closing for a long refurbishment on February 20, 2023. Disney has said it will be reopening in the summer of 2023.</p><p> </p><p>With the Aerosmith agreement now expired (in 2022), will the refurbishment also become a full ride re-theming of Rock'n'Roller Coaster? </p><p> </p><p>At Disneyland Paris the ride was re-themed into an Avengers ride. But this probably wouldn't be a Marvel re-theme due to agreements in place between Universal Studios Florida and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.</p><p> </p><p>So what would be a likely re-theme? Keep it as Rock'n'Roller Coaster and just update the band to a younger and newer artist or group? Or would they do what they have done in so many other cases at Walt Disney World and re-theme the ride into a Disney character property?</p><p><br><strong>Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Podcast<br></strong><br>Thank you very much for listening to this episode, Amelia and I hope that you enjoyed it.

10 New Attractions Coming to Disney World and Disneyland in 2023
<p><strong>Walt Disney World Railroad is Back...with an All-New Voiceover<br></strong><br></p><p>The WDW railroad was an original opening-day attraction in 1971 and it's back with a completely refreshed track and another new surprise...one you may or may not like.</p><p><br>Walt Disney Imagineering introduced a new voice to share stories as the train circles Magic Kingdom Park. </p><p><br>Disney's release stated that the narration is "a voice our guests can envision and resonate with. Someone who grew up on Main Street, U.S.A., dreaming of the day they’d be on the railroad. They’ve now achieved that dream, and they know everyone and everything at Magic Kingdom … an unofficial mayor of sorts." For us, the jury's still out on whether or not this was a good thing as my initial reaction is that I don't care for the PeopleMover vibe on Walt Disney World Railroad.</p><p><br>So what do you think? Is the new voiceover a great addition or an unnecessary distraction?</p><p><br>--</p><p><br><strong>Chef Mickey’s transitions back to buffet-style dining March 1</strong></p><p><br>Starting March 1, 2023 Chef Mickey’s will go back to buffet-style dining, something many fans have been waiting for as they enjoy either breakfast or dinner at this popular character dining location in Disney's Contemporary Resort.</p><p><br>--</p><p> </p><p><strong>So What's Ahead for 2023?

Is Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party worth it?</p><p>Also, an update on EPCOT Festival of the Holidays and the Candlelight Processional 2022 edition. Is the dining package worth doing?</p><p><br>Our thoughts on this and the current state of Club Level at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and more in our latest Walt Disney World trip report.</p><p><strong>--<br></strong><br></p><p><strong>Disney's Grand Floridian Resort Will Get Some Updates in 2023<br></strong><br></p><p>The resort has been receiving some <em>grand</em> touches that weave familiar storybook charm into the Victorian elegance of this flagship resort. Guest rooms are currently being updated as we speak with more to come as the beloved Grand Floridian ushers in its 35th year of magic. The ongoing renovation will also include an upcoming refurbishment of the lobby, which will maintain the classic theming guests know and love with some fresh new enhancements.</p><p>--</p><p><strong>What’s Cooking at Disney’s BoardWalk</strong></p><p>There's a new coffee shop opening soon on the BoardWalk called Carousel Coffee. This new location will be good spot for Joffrey's coffee beverages, tea options, and indulgent pastries.</p><p>The menu will include a Dark Cherry Mocha Frozen Blended Coffee with Whipped Cream. This iconic cherry flavor is known in seaside getaways and is a staple of coffee shops, delis, and ice cream parlors.</p><p>There will be seasonal coffees as well, such as a Cinnamon Bun Frozen Blended Coffee with Whipped Cream. </p><p>The Nitro Cold Brew Coffee is a freshly batched, extra smooth, dark-roasted cold brew coffee infused with nitro. This one aims to capitalize on the popular nitro craze of cold brews.</p><p>For tea lovers, Carousel Coffee has a Pomegranate-Green Tea Lemonade featuring fresh-squeezed lemon juice blended with pomegranate green tea and a touch of agave. This is naturally sweetened and served over ice.</p><p> </p><p>For sweet treats the Crunchy Raspberry Danish is a must-try. This features crispy sugar dough layers with hibiscus fondant and raspberry. Think of a cross between a croissant and muffin. There are plenty of classics as well, like the Vintage Mickey & Minnie Sugar Cookie, Banana Bread, Croissants, Blueberry Muffins, Chocolate Muffins, NJ Crumb Cake and Bagels. And, of course, a Mickey Brownie.</p><p>Nearby is The Cake Bake Shop at Disney’s BoardWalk, which we covered in a recent episode. Not only will there be table-service offerings, but also a quick-service bakery to pick up sweet treats on-the-go.</p><p>There aren’t just cakes here. The restaurant and bakery will serve cookies, French macarons, brownies, dessert bars, pies, and cheesecakes in addition to the handmade cakes.</p><p><strong>--<br></strong><br></p><p><strong>Disney’s DuckTales World Showcase Adventure is Now Ready to Play<br></strong><br></p><p>Join Scrooge McDuck, his nephews and friends as they travel EPCOT World Showcase on a quest to find the Seven Plunders of the World —and return them to their rightful owners. For this expedition there are treasures are hidden in each country pavilion:</p><ul>
<li>Mexico</li>
<li>Norway</li>
<li>China</li>
<li>Germany</li>
<li>Japan</li>
<li>France</li>
<li>United Kingdom</li>
</ul><p>Each country has three assignments and one finale; so each mission takes 25-30 minutes to complete. You can even replay countries if you want because there are variables in missions (you might not always get the same one). When a country is completed, you'll unlock an achievement in the Disney Play App. Once all countries have been completed, you'll unlock the finale mission, which is playable within the app itself.</p><p>To play you'll need to create an account for the Play Disney Parks app if you don't already have one.</p><p><br>--</p><p><strong>The Princesses are Coming Back to Cinderella's Royal Table<br></strong><br>As of Tuesday, February 28, 2023, Cinderella and her Disney Princess friends will once again be back for character dining at Cinderella's Royal Table in Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World.</p><p>--</p><p><strong>Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Podcast<br></strong><br>Thank you very much for listening to this episode, Amelia and I hope that you enjoyed it.

The Genie+ Change that Should Never Have Been Needed
<p><strong>Genie+ Adds a Minor Improvement Allowing You to Modify Lightning Lane Selections<br></strong><br></p><p>To make it easier to change plans on the fly, you can now modify<strong> </strong>Lightning Lane<em> </em>selections made with Disney Genie+ without having to cancel and rebook your selection. This should have been included from day one and it's hard to believe it took this long to add, but at least it's there now. </p><p>To make a change select the three dots on your current Lightning Lane selection from the <em>Tip Board </em>or <em>My Day </em>tab of Disney Genie, and then select “Modify Plan” from the menu that appears.</p><p>After selecting “Modify Plan,” available Lightning Lane experiences from the same park will appear.

The pork vindaloo is prepared with paprika, garlic, tomato, vinegar, and a house-made spice blend.</p><p>The Short Rib Grilled Cheese has slow cooked short ribs with a house-made spice blend, tamarind, and red wine until tender. It's on buttery brioche bread with gouda cheese and pickled onions.</p><p>The Mara also has new items. There's a Marinated Sun-dried Tomato and Herbed Ricotta Flatbread with fresh herb ricotta, tomato sauce, four-cheese blend, and arugula.</p><p> </p><p>There are three new bowls: The Chermoula-spiced Shrimp Bowl has grilled shrimp, pilau rice, kale slaw, cucumber-tomato salad, and chermoula sour cream. The Oak-grilled Chicken Bowl has marinated chicken thighs, slow-roasted over an oak fire.</p><p> </p><p>Rounding out the new additions is the plant-based South African Vegetable Bowl, a perfect balance of curried vegetable stew, pilau rice, kale slaw, dried fruit achar, and avocado-tahini sauce.</p><p>At Jiko: The Cooking Place there's a new appetizer to try – Sweet Potato-Groundnut Soup. This soup features spiced groundnuts, finger lime, pickled red chilies, and sorrel. Groundnuts are actually peanuts.</p><p>Finally, to celebrate Avatar: The Way of Water, Animal Kingdom Lodge has a new signature cocktail at Boma: Flavors of Africa, Sanaa, and Victoria Falls Lounge.

Some Big News for Walt Disney World that You Might Have Missed
<p><strong>Disney Plans to Make a Major Theme Park Investment at Walt Disney World to Respond Universal's Epic Universe</strong></p><p> </p><p>It looks like Bob Iger's return may mean that Disney will be seriously upping its game when it comes to theme park enhancements and new builds. Several media outlets have reported an SEC filing by the Walt Disney Company that calls for spending $6.3 billion on capital expenditures in the parks in 2023. That means new builds and infrastructure and it's a huge increase over the spend in the past for building Galaxy's Edge.</p><p> </p><p>We may not know Bob Iger's vision just yet, but remember all of those great things we saw at D23 Fan Expo -- like the new Villains land in Magic Kingdom Park? It's beginning to look a lot like some big news may be just around the corner</p><p> </p><p>--</p><p> </p><p><strong>Florida Changes Course on Punishing Walt Disney World for Don't Say Gay Stance</strong></p><p> </p><p>In a story by the Financial Times, it looks like Florida lawmakers may be looking to reverse their plans to strip Disney of its right to operate a private government around its theme parks. And it appears that Bob Iger may be the reason why, at least in part.</p><p> </p><p>Bob Iger made a comment that is seen to have calmed tensions between Disney and the Florida state government. He said: “What I can say [is] the state of Florida has been important to us for a long time and we have been very important to the state of Florida. That is something I’m extremely mindful of and will articulate if I get the chance.”</p><p> </p><p>All in all this is good for the Disney traveler, as any negative impacts from the original plan to strip Disney World of its current rights would likely have trickled down to all of us who visit.</p><p><br>--</p><p><strong>A New Scene and New Critters Are Introduced for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure</strong></p><p><br>We now know a little bit more about Tiana's Bayou Adventure including a new scene for the ride and some of the brand-new characters being created for the attraction. The new scene is said to be a "thrilling moment" when you first drop into the bayou and encounter bayou friends both new and familiar.</p><p><br>Fireflies will light up the night and invite us all deeper into the bayou. With all of the fuss Disney is making about this we can only assume that it will be a pretty cool new effect.</p><p><br>Once the ride gets going we'll meet the full group of critters, including an otter, a rabbit, a racoon, a beaver, a turtle and others. Disney has hinted that they'll all play a bigger role later on in the ride, but they haven't tipped their hand on that just yet.</p><p>Splash Mountain at Walt Disney World Resort will close on January 23, 2023. The closing date for Splash Mountain at Disneyland has not yet been released.</p><p>The opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at both Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort is still 2024, with no specific dates as it is a bit far off.</p><p><br><strong>Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Podcast<br></strong><br>Thank you very much for listening to this episode, Amelia and I hope that you enjoyed it.

The Essential Guide to Disney's Festival of the Holidays at EPCOT 2022
<p><strong>EPCOT Festival of the Holidays 2022 is Here and Runs Through December 30</strong></p><p><br>In <a href="https://share.transistor.fm/s/2bcbf4a8">last week's episode</a> we shared the complete Foodie Guide for the 2022 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays (including our top picks), this week we share everything else you need to know for EPCOT Festival of the Holidays...</p><p><br>Disney rides are getting into the holiday spirit at EPCOT. Living with the Land – Glimmering Greenhouses is a holiday overlay version of this popular ride, featuring Christmas light displays throughout (and a few other Christmas surprises). While over at Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind get ready for an all-new holiday remix with a Guardians twist.</p><p>The Candlelight Processional is nightly at America Gardens Theatre. It features celebrity narrators retelling the Christmas story accompanied by the Voices of Liberty a capella ensemble, a 50-piece live orchestra with herald trumpets, and choirs that include Disney cast members and local community groups.</p><p><br>Celebrity narrators making their debut this year include Gloria Estefan, Josh Gad, Simu Liu, Mariska Hargitay, Raúl Esparza and Daymond John. See the <a href="https://www.1923mainstreet.com/main-street-news/disney-after-hours-is-coming-back-to-walt-disney-world-in-2023">full line-up of Candlelight Processional celebrity narrators and performance dates on our previous post</a>.</p><p><br>Other Festival of the Holidays highlights include:</p><ul>
<li>“JOYFUL! A Celebration of the Season” is an uplifting performance of music celebrating Christmas and Kwanzaa on the World Showcase Plaza Stage, with multiple performances daily.</li>
<li>Global holiday traditions come to life in World Showcase with storytellers, musicians and more. Watch for Las Posadas Celebration featuring Mariachi Cobre at the Mexico pavilion, the Canadian Holiday Voyageurs in the Canada pavilion, a Hanukkah storyteller on the promenade between Morocco and France and more storytellers in France, Italy, Japan, Norway and UK.</li>
<li>Holiday Kitchens offer festive recipes and drinks—from spiced pumpkin punch and cranberry mimosas to slow-roasted turkey with stuffing and pork schnitzel with braised red cabbage. Treats are everywhere, from linzer cookies and maple bûche de noël to chocolate-peppermint donuts.</li>
<li>Latin-American heritage is celebrated at the all-new Nochebuena Cocina Holiday Kitchen, featuring traditional dishes served during the holiday season. </li>
<li>The Holiday Cookie Stroll gives you the opportunity to embark on a sweet adventure. Buy any five cookies from the official Cookie Stroll locations and collect matching stamps in your Festival Passport. Then bring it to Holiday Sweets & Treats and you'll get a specialty cookie.</li>
<li>Olaf’s Holiday Tradition Expedition Scavenger Hunt is on to search for holiday traditions Olaf has gathered from around the world.</li>
<li>You can Christmas shop at EPCOT with unique shopping from around the globe. </li>
<li>And finally, no holiday celebration is complete without visiting Santa. Now through Deceber 24, Santa Claus pays a visit to The Odyssey, giving you the opportunity to say hello, pose for a photo and ask for some items from your Christmas wish list.</li>
</ul><p>--</p><p><br><strong>Lunar New Year Celebration and Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival are back in 2023</strong></p><p><br>Two festivals return to Disney California Adventure in 2023. The Lunar New Year celebration from January 20 to February 15, 2023, and Disney California Food & Wine Festival from March 3 to April 25, 2023. </p><p><br><strong>Lunar New Year, January 20 – February 15, 2023</strong></p><p>Disney California Adventure will ring in the Lunar New Year with a tribute to Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese cultures with a multicultural celebration. 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit. In Chinese culture, the rabbit has the unique characteristic of waiting for an opportune moment and then leaping into action. The rabbit symbolizes luck. Disney will also be recognizing the Vietnamese zodiac calendar during the Lunar New Year celebration, which marks 2023 as the Year of the Cat.</p><p>Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse will be there in their festive attire, plus Mulan and Mushu from Mulan.</p><p><br>The centerpiece will be “Mulan’s Lunar New Year Procession,” a vibrant performance hosted by Mulan and Mushu, that features dozens of spirited parade performers as they honor family, friendship, and the potential for a fortune-filled new year. For 2023, the procession will be extended throughout all of California Adventure with the parade route from Paradise Gardens through Hollywood Land.</p><p><br>The culinary landscape will expand with two new Lunar New Year marketplaces: Bamboo Blessings and Wrapped with Love. They will join the returning marketplaces, including Lucky 8 Lantern, Prosperity Bao & Buns, Red Spice Traders, and Longevity Noodle Co. With the Sip and Savor pass you can taste you way through six food & non-alcoholic drink selections from participating marketplaces and dining locations.</p><p>World of Color's “Hurry Home – Lunar New Year Celebration” is the heartwarming nighttime water show that tells the tale of a little lantern’s quest to reunite with family for the annual celebration of good luck and fortune. Check the Disneyland app for showtimes.</p><p><br>More fun includes crafts, Chinese calligraphy demos and the Lucky Wishes Wall, where you can write your hopes for 2023. More festival items will be at Paradise Garden Grill and Lucky Fortune Cookery. </p><p>Beginning January 20, Raya will be there. Under a forest canopy deep in the heart of Redwood Creek Challenge Trail, you may find Raya for a meet and greet.</p><p><strong>Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival, March 3 – April 25, 2023</strong></p><p>For 2023 the festival includes 12 marketplaces that feature sweet and savory foods along with cocktails, beer, wine and non-alcoholic drinks. The Sip and Savor pass will be available for purchase at the festival.</p><p>Entertainment includes the Jammin’ Chefs, Chef Goofy, and the Alice’s Wonderland Bakery Unbirthday Party show. There will be more entertainment on the Palisades Stage and the Paradise Gardens bandstand. Plus there are crafts, free weekend culinary demonstrations, and artist events and signings.</p><p><br>Soarin’ Over California will return for a limited time during the festival. </p><p><br>There are signature events where you can expand your knowledge on wine, beer and spirits. These include the Carthay Circle Winemaker Receptions, Trader Sam’s Mixology Seminars, a Craftsman Grill mixology seminar and a Grand Tasting event at the Disneyland Hotel.</p><p><br>--</p><p><strong>Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa Refurbishment Update: Ka Maka Pool</strong></p><p><br>Ka Maka Pool and Grotto, including Ka Maka whirlpool spa, will be unavailable from December 5 - 9, 2022. Other water features will still be available, including Waikolohe Pool and Stream, the two water slides, multiple whirlpool spas, Keiki Cove splash zone, and Wailana Pool.</p><p><br>--</p><p><strong>Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Podcast<br></strong><br>Thank you very much for listening to this episode, Amelia and I hope that you enjoyed it.

Top Picks: 2022 Disney World & Disneyland Christmas Foodie Guide
<p><strong>Disneyland Adventureland Treehouse will Return with a New Look in 2023<br></strong><br></p><p>There are more details about the future of the treehouse in Adventureland at Disneyland park.</p><p><br>When it reopens in 2023 the Adventureland Treehouse will be themed after Walt Disney’s Swiss Family Robinson tree house--just as it is in Walt Disney World. This is likely because Disney is working on a remake of the 1960 movie as a new Swiss Family series on Disney+.</p><p><br>The renewed treehouse will have new environments created among the branches of the giant tree on the shores of the Jungle River. From the mother’s music den to the young sons’ nature room to the teenage daughter’s astronomer’s loft, everything is created from found objects, natural resources, and pure ingenuity (just like the Disney fairies do). More news to come as it's released</p><p><br><strong>--</strong></p><p><br><strong>Walt Disney World Pool Closure </strong></p><p><br>The Oak Manor leisure pool in Magnolia Bend at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort Riverside was recently closed for a brief refurbishment.</p><p>Ol’ Man Island and other leisure pools around the resort will remain open and available. The Oak Manor pool will reopen at some point in mid-December.</p><p><strong>--<br></strong><br></p><p><strong>Festive Foodie Guide to Resorts at Walt Disney World</strong></p><p><strong>Available at Various Resorts </strong></p><ul>

Gingerbread Guide to Christmas Holidays at Disney World and Disneyland
<p><strong>Foodie Guide to Disney Holiday Gingerbread Treats and Displays 2022<br></strong><br></p><p>If you've ever been to Disneyland or Walt Disney World during the holidays, you know that the sights and smells of Disney gingerbread displays are the true showstopper. </p><p><br>So Disney pastry teams have been hard at work bringing gingerbread holiday traditions to life for 2022. </p><p>Here is everything you need to know about Disney Christmas gingerbread for this holiday season.</p><p><br><strong><em>At Walt Disney World<br></em></strong><br></p><p>As always there are multiple gingerbread displays to discover at Disney resort hotels. The biggest and most famous of all is the gingerbread house at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. This life size gingerbread creation features clouds of cinnamon smoke puffing out of its chimney. The gingerbread for this storybook gingerbread house is made from a classic Austrian recipe. The Grand Floridian gingerbread house decked out with white chocolate, candy canes, edible snowflakes, sugar poinsettias, and 25 hidden Mickeys! On the porches surrounding the house, you’ll find an 85-pound chocolate Santa, nutcrackers, toy soldiers, and snowmen that have all been hand-painted by the Grand Floridian Bakery team.</p><p>This year, for the 50th Anniversary celebration at Walt Disney World Resort, the gingerbread displays feature extra colors and accents inspired by the signature EARidescent look.

Since 1999, this resort has been home to the life-sized carousel (and it actually turns). This carousel and its horses are created with chocolate, sugar, and fondant along with hand-painted characters and hand-crafted gingerbread shingles and snowflakes decorating the display.

All five ships will continue the yearly tradition of having the pastry teams onboard build a unique atrium display on the ships. The Disney Wish will join for its inaugural holiday season with an 8-foot-tall, eight-layer masterpiece. Each gingerbread house is unique for each ship and the Disney pastry teams compete to see which Disney ship has the best house!</p><p><strong><em>At Disneyland<br></em></strong><br></p><p>Inside the Haunted Mansion, Disneyland guests will uncover the Haunted Mansion Gingerbread House.

Blizzard Beach will Reopen with a Twist, plus Thanksgiving at Disney World
<p><strong>Blizzard Beach Water Park Reopens November 13 at Walt Disney World (But you Might Not Like Some of the New Additions)</strong></p><p><br>Just in time for Winter, Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park is set to reopen for the holiday season. Following a lengthy refurbishment, Blizzard Beach has a few surprises in store -- most notably that is has been rethemed with elements from Frozen. </p><p>Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Here's what's in store in the new Blizzard Beach.</p><p><br><strong>Frozen friends at Tike’s Peak</strong></p><p>Tike’s Peak is the kids' area and it now features Frozen fun for the little ones. Mini slides and attractions, an Anna and Elsa igloo castle, a wading pool area with Olaf and friends, there's Frozen fun for every kid.</p><p><strong>Blizzard Beach for the Holiday Season</strong></p><p>Feel the holidays there are limited-time food and beverage offerings such as Orange Bird DOLE Whip cone and Peppermint Milkshake. Through December 31, there will be a merry atmosphere with daily snowfall, holiday music, festive inner tubes and even a tropical-dressed Santa.</p><p><strong>Take the Plunge Down Summit Plummet</strong></p><p>Did you know that Summit Plummet is the fastest attraction and scariest ride at Walt Disney World? Descend Mount Gushmore in a near-vertical drop on the tallest and fastest freefall body slide in town.</p><p><strong>New and Old Favorite Food and Drink Creations</strong></p><p>New food at Blizzard Beach includes Cajun Shrimp and Grits, and Watta-Melon Passion Lemonade from Lottawatta Lounge. Returning favorite flavors include seasonal DOLE Whip offerings, a Double Bacon Cheeseburger and the iconic 50th Ice Dream Sand Pail Sundae.</p><p><strong>Polar Patios are the Way to Go for Upscale Blizzard Beach</strong></p><p>You can rent a private patio at Blizzard Beach complete with polar perks like comfortable seating options and refillable drink mugs for a relaxing break from the action.</p><p><strong>Toboggan Runners, the Race is On</strong></p><p>Get in the holiday spirit and zoom down a water slide toboggan style. The course is full of dips, hills and fierce competition as you race against friends and family to see who will win.</p><p><strong>Family Fun at Teamboat Springs</strong></p><p>Teamboat Springs is one of the longest whitewater raft adventures in the world. There are twists and turns, unpredictable rapids and drenching sprays of water as these oversized inner-tube rafts venture down the waterslide.</p><p><strong>The Ski-riffic Way to the Top of Mount Gushmore</strong></p><p>Take in the view of the snowy setting and embark on a leisurely journey to the top of Mount Gushmore on the Blizzard Beach chairlift. The chairlift goes to Summit Plummet, Slush Gusher and Teamboat Springs.</p><p><strong>Runoff Rapids</strong></p><p>Speed down Mount Gushmore on three unique slides with twists and turns along the way, ending in a huge splashdown at the bottom.</p><p> </p><p>--</p><p><strong>Colorful Bursts of Flavor and Fun Coming to EPCOT International Festival of the Arts Jan. 13 - Feb. 20, 2023<br></strong><br></p><p>The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts returns January 13, 2023 and runs through February 20, 2023. The festival is a global celebration of visual, culinary and performing arts.</p><p>16 Food Studios will serve up art-inspired menus appealing to a variety of palates. The creations are not just delicious, but true works of art.</p><p>And this just in: The EPCOT Festival culinary team is putting finishing touches on two new Food Studios. Moderne, located near Test Track, will feature new avant-garde menu items. The other new Food Studio, Figment’s Inspiration Station at the Odyssey: <em>Art, Food, and Little Sparks of Magic, </em>promises to deliver treats and beverages bursting with vibrant colors and flavors. </p><p>During the festival, more than 100 Disney and visiting artists will showcase their art. You can also learn to draw a Disney character at Animation Academy, and leave yourcreative mark at Expression Section: A Paint by Number Mural. Or help Figment learn about art on a scavenger hunt around World Showcase.</p><p>Each evening, the DISNEY ON BROADWAY Concert Series will feature talented entertainers performing Disney songs live at America Gardens Theatre. Full list of entertainers coming soon.</p><p>--</p><p> </p><p><strong>Walt Disney World Thanksgiving Foodie Guide 2022<br></strong><br></p><p><strong>Walt Disney World Resort <br></strong><br></p><p><strong><em>Resorts <br></em></strong><br></p><p><strong>Available at Multiple Resorts </strong></p><ul>

But in our experience, this is not always the case -- so don't bank on that. "Limited" is a vague descriptor and we have routinely seen wait times of 30 to 45 minutes for popular rides. So that's a big chunk of your three hours.</p><p>With Disney After Hours tickets, you can enter the park as early as 7:00 p.m., which gives you a little extra bang for your buck. You won't get the free snacks until the event begins at park closing, but at least you can get in a little earlier if you like.</p><p>Disney After Hours event tickets for Magic Kingdom Park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios can be purchased by starting October 7, 2022. Prices range from $129 to $159 (plus tax). Guests of select Walt Disney World Resort hotels can begin purchasing Disney After Hours tickets as early as October 4. The advance-purchase window is available to Guests of Disney Resort hotels, Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels as well as Shades of Green at Walt Disney World Resort. </p><p>Disney Vacation Club members and Walt Disney World Annual Passholders can also purchase specially priced tickets for select dates.</p><p>Disney After Hours events at Disney’s Hollywood Studios are scheduled for select nights from January 4 through April 19, 2023. Disney After Hours events at Magic Kingdom Park are scheduled for select nights, January 9 through March 27, 2023. For the full list of events, dates and times, and to purchase tickets, visit the Disney After Hours page of DisneyWorld.com. </p><p>--</p><p><strong>EPCOT ‘Candlelight Processional’ Celebrity Narrators<br></strong><br></p><p>The popular, festive and very moving “Candlelight Processional” is returning to the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays starting November 25, 2022. This tradition has been a part of the holiday season at Walt Disney World since its opening in 1971. If you have never been and you love the holiday season, it's something worth considering. </p><p>You will experience a heart warming retelling of the traditional Christmas story featuring celebrity narrators, the Voices of Liberty acapella ensemble, and a 50-piece live orchestra with large choirs.</p><p>The 2022 line-up of celebrity narrators features new and returning favorites, including actors from some of your favorite movies, TV shows, world-renowned singers, and other talented artists. </p><p>Here is the list of narrators for the 2022 Candlelight Processional at EPCOT:</p><ul>
<li>11/25 – 11/26: Simu Liu</li>
<li>11/27 – 11/29: Edward James Olmos</li>

EPCOT 40th Anniversary Celebrations plus MagicBand+ at Disneyland
<p><strong>EPCOT Turns 40 on October 1, 2022</strong></p><p><br>EPCOT wasn't always a park that was slated for success.

This commemorative merchandise will be available at Creations Shop in EPCOT at Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Select items will also be available on shopDisney.com.</p><p>--</p><p><strong>Foodie Guide to EPCOT 40th Anniversary Celebrations<br></strong><br></p><p>From the very beginning, EPCOT has always had a food component through World Showcase.</p><p>So it's only fitting that there's a foodie guide to accompany EPCOT 40th Anniversary Celebrations (including our top picks).</p><p><strong>Connections Café </strong><em>(Available Sept. 29 through Oct. 3) </em></p><ul><li>EPCOT 40th Liege Waffle: Brioche dough with pearl sugar <strong><em>> Amelia's Pick</em></strong>

</ul><p>--</p><p><strong>MagicBand+ Coming to Disneyland Resort this Fall<br></strong><br></p><p>While MagicBand+ offers very little in terms of innovative new experiences, Disney fans have still been snapping them up to try them out at Walt Disney World.</p><p>With MagicBand+ launching soon at Disneyland, will there be anything different or better in terms of features and experiences? The answer is, unfortunately, no. Here's what you can expect once MagicBand+ launches at Disneyland.</p><p>At launch, you'll be able to connect your MagicBand+ to theme park tickets or a Magic Key pass in the Disneyland and use it for Lightning Lane entrances. Disney PhotoPass photographers will also accept a tap of your band to link photos to your Disney account. All pretty basic and standard MagicBand functionality.</p><p>MagicBand+ will also offer its glow-with-the-show capability at Disneyland. Again, nothing special.</p><p>The <em>Star Wars: Batuu Bounty Hunters</em> interactive quest has vibrations and lights from MagicBand+. This feature has, in our opinion, ruined the landscape of Galaxy's Edge by inserting very non-immersive screens throughout the land. Plus, users have encountered problems with this activity, particularly in terms of rapidly draining the MagicBand+ battery (rendering it useless as far as completing the mission).</p><p>Should you buy a MagicBand+ at Disneyland? The basic functionality of a MagicBand is good, but the enhancements are nothing special at all and not worth it in our opinion.</p><p><br>--</p><p><strong>Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Podcast<br></strong><br>Thank you very much for listening to this episode, Amelia and I hope that you enjoyed it.

D23 Expo: All the Disney Travel News (You Won't Believe What's Coming)
<p><strong>Everything New for Disney Parks and Resorts from D23 Expo 2022</strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>So What's Next for Disney Parks?</strong></p><p><strong><em>You won't believe what's coming behind Big Thunder Mountain at Walt Disney World</em></strong></p><p> </p><p>This is Disney's Blue Sky sneak peak of what's coming down the road for Disney Parks. This portion of the D23 Expo had the biggest cheer of anything announced in 2022.</p><p><br></p><p>First though, Josh D'Amaro announced what's happening with Dinoland at Disney's Animal Kingdom Park. It has been languishing and looks forgotten so the announcement of a big transformation coming was welcome. Zootopia and Moana will share the space currently occupied by Dinoland. </p><p>But the biggest news of all...</p><p> <br><strong><em>Disney Villains are Finally Getting a Place to Call their Own</em></strong></p><p>Magic Kingdom will feature new frontiers and it's all hiding on the other side of BTM. The little town of Santa Cecilia will come to life as Coco gets a Magic Kingdom presence. And if you do want to talk about Bruno, you're in luck because you may be able to walk right into the Madrigal's casita. But all is not fun and flowers in this new land...as what if the Disney villains took up residence there as well...beyond Big Thunder Mountain.</p><p>This was presented as conceptual and would likely be 10 years down the road, but Disney would not share it in this way if it weren't going to happen. Big news for Walt Disney World and Magic Kingdom.</p><p> </p><p>--</p><p> </p><p><strong>There's More Coming to Walt Disney World<br></strong><br></p><p>A new nighttime show for EPCOT will debut in late 2023 to kick-off the 100th Anniversary of the Walt Disney Company.</p><p> </p><p>Moana's Journey of Water and the rest of the World Celebration area at EPCOT will open in late 2023. So we'll have to bear with those construction walls for another year it seems.</p><p><br></p><p>Figment is returning in a brand new form for a meet and greet at EPCOT. That will be in place by the end of 2023.</p><p> </p><p>In Magic Kingdom, the perennial favorite Hatbox Ghost will materialize once again in the Haunted Mansion.</p><p> </p><p>And we now know that Tron Lightcycle Run at Magic Kingdom will debut in Spring 2023. We were hoping it would be sooner, but apparently they are working on finishing touches right now. No specific date, just "spring." </p><p> </p><p>Finally, in 2023, a new version of Happily Ever After will return as part of a new Magic Kingdom nighttime show. This received a good amount of applause.</p><p> <br><strong>What's New and Coming to Disneyland Resort</strong></p><p> </p><p>The DVC Villas at Disneyland Hotel will be called the Villas at Disneyland Hotel. How creative.</p><p> </p><p>On October 16, 2023 Disney 100 kicks-off and it promises to be the biggest celebration ever for Disney.</p><p> </p><p><em>Under the theme of a Boundless Future the following announcements were made:</em></p><p> </p><p>The Mandalorian and Grogu (aka Baby Yoda) will be onsite starting in Mid November 2022 at Disneyland Galaxy's Edge</p><p> </p><p>Over at the Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure Park, Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios, noted "we're just getting started." A new giant Hulk will be at Avengers Campus in California "next week." </p><p> </p><p>Plus, they're bringing the Multiverse to Avengers Campus. Disney is expanding the campus to include a new attraction. In the new attraction you will battle alongside all the Avengers against all the foes from anywhere. You will fight King Thanos. This is a new Thanos -- a Thanos who won. And the Avengers are not too happy about that and you have to help them. More news to come.</p><p> </p><p>Also new to Disney California Adventure, they are reimagining Pacific Wharf into San Fransokyo from Big Hero Six. You'll be able to meet Baymax there. </p><p> </p><p>Finally, they are reimagining Paradise Pier Hotel, as it will become Pixar Place Hotel. It will feature a Finding Nemo splash pad and more characters. All in all, Disney promises that the hotel will feel completely new.</p><p> </p><p>Over at Downtown Disney more than a dozen new or reimagined locations are in the works. More announcements coming over the next year. But the big news locally is a that SoCal favorite bakery Porto's is coming to Downtown Disney. </p><p> </p><p>RunDisney at Disneyland is coming back in 2024. More details coming soon. It's been awhile for Run Disney as the last one took place in 2017.</p><p> </p><p>Mickey's ToonTown Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway are coming along. It was good to hear that it will be a slightly different version of Runaway Railway than the WDW edition, to fit into the Disneyland ToonTown story. It's all opening in 2023.</p><p> </p><p>Tiana's Bayou Adventure will open in late 2024 in both Walt Disney World and Disneyland. The story for the ride is that it picks up where the film (Princess and the Frog) left off. In the new story, Princess Tiana is an entrepreneur and community leader in the year 1927. She is hosting a party for the community and we need to help Tiana to find a special ingredient that she's missing. </p><p> </p><p>Disney promises that the latest tech is being implemented to really enhance the outside of the whole area at night. Mist will be used like a painter's canvas. "True bayou magic." The attraction is to be a love letter to New Orleans. Guests should feel the story is authentic to the city. Another great piece of news is that the original cast will be lending their voices to the new attraction. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>--<br></strong><br></p><p><strong>What's new at</strong> <strong>Disney Cruise Line</strong></p><p> </p><p>The sixth ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet is all about adventure...celebrating Walt's love for exploration. The new Disney Cruise ship is called Disney Treasure.</p><p> </p><p>The Disney Wonder is heading to Australia and New Zealand late 2023.</p><p> </p><p>The island of Eleuthera and Lighthouse Point will be the new Bahamas port for Disney Cruise. 90% of the power will come from solar.</p><p><strong>What's Coming to Disney Parks Around the Globe</strong></p><p> </p><p>Zootopia is opening at Shanghai Disneyland. </p><p> </p><p>World of Frozen at Hong Kong Disneyland will open in the second half of 2023, featuring a Wandering Oaken sleigh coaster.</p><p> </p><p>Disneyland Paris' Frozen Arendelle land is coming along and Disneyland Hotel is being fully reimagined -- opening in 2024</p><p> </p><p>At Tokyo Disneyland, Disney Fantasy Spring will feature Peter Pan, Tangled and Frozen. Plus a totally reimagined Space Mountain will open by 2027 at Tokyo Disney.</p><p> </p><p>Pixar <em>We Belong Together</em> will be debuting at Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris next year. The DLP 30th Anniversary celebrations will be continuing until September 2023.</p><p><br>--</p><p><strong>Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Podcast<br></strong><br>Thank you very much for listening to this episode, Amelia and I hope that you enjoyed it.

Disneyland Halloween Foodie Guide, Plus a New DVC Lounge
<p><strong>There's a New DVC Lounge Coming to Disneyland</strong></p><p><br>Disney Vacation Club announced the first Member Lounge coming to Disneyland Resort in California and it is expected to open in the first half of 2023. The lounge will be located in Tomorrowland and be called “Disney Vacation Club Star View Station.” </p><p>Located on the second floor of the Star Wars: Launch Bay building, the space-themed lounge will be home to a dedicated Disney Vacation Club Member Services team, plus lots of casual seating, complimentary Wi-Fi, device-charging stations and more.</p><p>Similar to the DVC lounge at EPCOT, the Disneyland lounge will be available to eligible Disney Vacation Club Members with valid park tickets and reservations to Disneyland Park, space permitting. </p><p>--</p><p> </p><p><strong>Is Disney Really Launching a Membership Program Like Amazon Prime<br></strong><br></p><p>Disney is reportedly planning to launch a new membership program loosely modeled after Amazon Prime that would offer discounts and perks for combining streaming services, theme park visits, resort hotel stays, merchandise purchases and more.</p><p>The Wall Street Journal reported on this, so there is some sense of reality behind it. The idea is that Disney would use the membership program to make it more attractive for guests and customers to increase spending on all its products and services. For Disney, it would give more consumer data as to your spending habits and more.</p><p>So would this mean the retirement of programs like D23?

A Disney World Park Pass Upgrade, No Mountain for Moana and More
<p><strong>Walt Disney World Park Pass Reservation System gets an Improvement<br></strong><br></p><p>One of the biggest pains of the Disney World Park Pass system -- other than the fact that it still exists at all -- has been fixed. You can now modify a park reservation, including date, park and party members (subject to availability), rather than having to cancel and re-book.</p><p>You can also book theme park reservations with different admission types – so whether you’re an Annual Passholder, date-based ticket holder or visiting with a Cast Member, you can all make your reservations at one time. </p><p>The question still remains though: for nearly 50 years we got along just fine without Park Pass. It came into effect during the Walt Disney World reopening stages of covid to limit and monitor crowd sizes. But that need has now passed. So why is Park Pass still here? It's an annoyance and yet another thing requiring advance booking for no good reason at all.</p><p>--</p><p><br><strong>New Details about Moana's attraction at EPCOT: Journey of Water</strong></p><p><br>If you're wondering what's behind those unsightly construction walls at EPCOT, here's the scoop.</p><p>Journey of Water is an upcoming Moana attraction that will allow you to explore and engage with water as it travels from sky to ocean and back again: the natural cycle of water. </p><p>Fans Disney's Moana will see familiar shapes and characters carved into the rocks and waterways throughout Journey of Water. A great example of this is Moana herself, who will be positioned proudly – celebrating water’s arrival at the ocean.</p><p>So while we would still prefer the often rumored fourth mountain Moana attraction in Disney's Magic Kingdom Park, Journey of Water at least gives Moana a small nod at EPCOT.</p><p>--</p><p><strong>Traditional Character Greetings Return Onboard at Disney Cruise Line<br></strong><br></p><p>Traditional character greetings, up-close character greetings, including autographs, are now resuming across the entire <em>Disney Cruise Line</em> fleet.</p><p>--</p><p><strong>New Dates for Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser Sailings<br></strong><br>New on sale dates have been released for <em>Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser</em>. See below for the booking cadence for voyages through September 2023:</p><ul>
<li>August 25: Club 33 and Golden Oak</li>
<li>August 26: Invited Star Wars affinity groups</li>
<li>August 30: Disney Vacation Club Members</li>
<li>August 31: Annual Passholders</li>
<li>September 1: Open to the general public</li>

Is Disney World Considering Adding a Scary Halloween Party?
<p><strong>Should Walt Disney World Have a Scary Halloween Party?</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>100 episodes ago -- all the way back in episode 38 -- we talked about what we would do if we were in charge of Walt Disney World. One of the things we'd both love to see is a fifth park that has a villains theme. Disney Villains need a place to call their own.</p><p> </p><p>A villains park -- including our Maleficent-themed coaster called Villified -- would be the ideal location for a truly scary Disney-inspired Halloween party. So what would that be like and would you like to see Disney get a bit edgier with Halloween?</p><p> </p><p>--</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Early Entry and Package Delivery are Now Available at Disneyland<br></strong><br></p><p>Everyone staying at a Disneyland Resort Hotel can now take advantage of both Early Entry to the parks and Package Delivery to your room. Overnight Guests at The Happiest Place on Earth can experience these perks and more, including:</p><ul>
<li>Proximity and direct Theme Park access</li>
<li>Hotel activities like learning to draw Disney characters</li>
<li>Direct-to-Room Service</li>
<li>Dining Delivery to a Disneyland Resort Hotel lobby from select restaurants in the Downtown Disney District</li>
<li>And coming soon, Preferred Dine Access to a limited number of reservations at select hotel table service restaurants during the dates of their hotel stay</li>
</ul><p>--</p><p> </p><p><strong>Disney World Hotel Pool Closure Update<br></strong><br></p><p>Pool upgrades are ongoing at Walt Disney World and the latest one began on Sunday, August 14. The Ranchos leisure pool at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort is now closed for routine refurbishment. The pool is expected to reopen in late September, so bear that in mind if you plan to stay there anytime soon.</p><p>During the refurbishment, the Dig Site Feature Pool and the Casitas and Cabanas leisure pools will remain open and available to guests.</p><p><br>--</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Podcast<br></strong><br>Thank you very much for listening to this episode, Amelia and I hope that you enjoyed it.

Even More Dining is Coming Back to Walt Disney World and Aulani
<p><strong>A Sneak Peek at the New Menu at Disney's BoardWalk Deli (Opening Soon!)</strong></p><p> </p><p>Opening later this summer (it's already August, so we're not sure when it will be), the BoardWalk Deli is the reimagined version of the former BoardWalk Bakery. Here's a sneak peek of some of the new deli offerings coming to the BoardWalk Deli with inspiration coming from New York and the Jersey Shore. Everything will be baked in house.</p><p> </p><p>For breakfast there's everything from a bagel with eggs, sausage and cheddar to a plant-based ciabatta breakfast sandwich. </p><p> </p><p>For lunch and dinner there are hot and cold deli sandwiches, a classic pastrami reuben and a signature Italian sub. Or go for a roast chicken sandwich or grilled cheese with tomato soup. For dessert, there are cannolis, scones, crumbcake and much more.</p><p> </p><p>--</p><p> </p><p><strong>New Offerings at Victoria and Albert's at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort</strong></p><p> </p><p>As always, there is an impressive array of multiple courses, now including dishes like Glacier 51 Toothfish with charred mushroom and sambal, Heirloom Tomatoes with gazpacho and 100 Year Balsamico, and Carrot Tikka Masala with cilantro and puri bread. For a sweet, the Spectrum of Chocolate is back and now features four specialty sourced chocolates and a tableside presentation of sabayon with notes of Madagascar vanilla bean, Champagne, and Grand Marnier.</p><p> </p><p>Finally, a new zero-proof cocktail pairing will be available as a regular offering for anyone wanting to experience unique non-alcoholic beverages crafted to complement each course. One new offering is the Guajillo Spice, which is smoked tableside to highlight the rich flavors of roasted guajillo chilis, charred jalapeños, and black peppercorn, as well as a touch of caramelized sweetness from turbinado sugar and fresh lime.</p><p> </p><p>The newly renovated interior has crystal chandeliers, custom murals and new wall coverings that modernize what has always been a lavish location. There are still three dining options, including the main Dining Room serves a tasting menu that highlights seasonal flavors. </p><p> </p><p>The Queen Victoria Room offers a menu created by the chef de cuisine just for you in a setting "fit for royalty," and includes tableside presentations. </p><p> </p><p>The Chef’s Table is the premium one-of-a-kind experience where the culinary team creates a custom tasting menu. If you want to interact with the chefs, this is the one for you.</p><p> </p><p>--</p><p> </p><p><strong>Ama Ama Reopening at Disney Aulani, Hawaii</strong></p><p> </p><p>Over at Disney Aulani, Ama Ama will be reopening this fall with a new dinner-only dining experience.</p><p> </p><p>The restaurant has been reimagined and we will share more details about the menu when it's released.</p><p> </p><p>--</p><p> </p><p><strong>Upcoming Walt Disney World Pool Closures</strong></p><p> </p><p>From approximately January through April 2024 routine maintenance will be happening at the following Walt Disney World Resort hotel pools (meaning these pools will be closed, so plan accordingly):</p><ul>

Disney MagicBand+ How it Works and is it Worth it?
<p><strong>MagicBand+ is Here<br>Is it worth the hype and money?</strong></p><p> </p><p>You can now get a brand new Disney MagicBand+ for your Walt Disney World vacation. </p><p> </p><p>Is it worth getting? Do you plan to get one? Is it worth the upgrade from MagicBand 2? </p><p>Maybe, but we think Disney really dropped the ball here. MagicBand+ has questionable value. What Disney really should have done was release a Disney smart watch. We predict that a Disney MagicBand Watch will be the next (and a better) version of this tech -- especially if it works along with Hey Disney.</p><p>In the meantime, here are the minor benefits of a Disney MagicBand+</p><p> </p><p><strong>MagicBand+ does everything your old MagicBand does:</strong></p><ul>
<li>Unlock the door of your Walt Disney World Resort hotel room</li>
<li>Enter any of the Disney World theme parks and water parks</li>
<li>Redeem Disney Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lane reservations</li>
<li>Charge items, including food/beverages and merchandise, to your resort room (only if staying onsite)</li>
<li>Redeem Disney Dining Plan credits</li>
<li>Link PhotoPass images to your account</li>
</ul><p><strong>How is MagicBand+ different than a regular MagicBand?</strong></p><ul>
<li>MagicBand+ costs more than a MagicBand</li>
<li>MagicBand+ has some limited park interactions</li>
<li>MagicBand+ has to be charged frequently </li>
</ul><p><strong>How to set-up a new MagicBand+ and link it to your Disney account </strong></p><ol>
<li>Press the button on the back MagicBand+ to turn it on and tap the band to your phone.</li>
<li>Open (or set-up) the My Disney Experience app.</li>
<li>Follow the app instructions to link the MagicBand+ to your Disney account, assign it to a guest and pair it to your mobile device. App will show the band charge level and software status.</li>
<li>Link your park tickets, reservations and more as required.</li>
</ol><p><strong>How to manage multiple MagicBands from one Disney account</strong></p><ol>
<li>In the MDE app go to MagicBands and More.</li>
<li>View your managed guests.</li>
<li>Adjust everyone's MagicBand+ settings and options.</li>
</ol><p><strong>How to Customize your MagicBand+</strong></p><ol>
<li>Find "MagicBands and More" and select “Customize Your MagicBand+”.</li>
<li>Check that your MagicBand+ is fully charged and the software is up to date.</li>
<li>Pick a custom light up theme.</li>
<li>Change the vibration and motion recognition settings to what you want.</li>
</ol><p><strong>--</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>The Red Trolley Car is Back on the Rails at Disney California Adventure Park</strong></p><p> </p><p>It's the small things and the tiny details that hold some of the best Disney magic for those who care about Walt Disney and park history.</p><p>This summer, you can ride the trolley and enjoy views of Buena Vista Street, Carthay Circle Restaurant, Hollywood Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard while learning about Walt Disney's journey as he arrived in Hollywood. If you like Walt stories and fun facts, you will love this one. </p><p>Here's a fun fact, number 623 on the trolley stands for June 1923 when Walt first came to California. Number 717 stands for July 17, which was the opening day of Disneyland.</p><p><strong>Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Podcast<br></strong><br>Thank you very much for listening to this episode, Amelia and I hope that you enjoyed it.

Dole Whip is Having Its Disney Day, All the Fun Facts About Dole Whip
<p><strong>DOLE Whip Now Has its Own Disney Day of Celebration<br></strong><br></p><p><strong>Fun Facts About Dole Whip</strong></p><p><br><strong>Dole Whip is a soft-serve dairy free and gluten free frozen dessert created by the Dole Food Company in 1984.</strong> </p><p>Since 2013 it has been fully vegan. It first appeared as an attraction in the Disneyland Enchanted Tiki Room. According to the official Dole website, a 2/3 cup serving of Dole Whip contains 110 calories and 25-27 carbs (depending on the flavor).</p><p> </p><p>Remember, the make-at-home Dole Whip recipe that Disney published in 2020 during lockdown is not the real Dole Whip recipe. The real one is made with powder from Dole, plus water and the machine that combines the two into frozen goodness.</p><p> </p><p>Dole Whip used to be somewhat exclusive and very much a Disney thing to many people, but that's now changed and you can get official Dole Whip in more and more places outside of Disney Parks -- including our local movie theatre in Oakville, Ontario, Canada.</p><p>Dole Whip Day is officially July 21, but the Dole Whip flavor extravaganza will continue through July 24. Going forward Disney plans to hold Dole Whip Day on the third Thursday in July – so if you want to plan your WDW vacation around Dole Whip, you now know which dates to book.</p><p><strong>Walt Disney World Resort <br></strong><br></p><p><strong>Magic Kingdom Park <br></strong><br></p><p><strong>Aloha Isle </strong><em>(Located in Adventureland)</em></p><ul>

Victoria and Albert's, Hoop Dee Doo and More Dates You Need to Know
<p><strong>When is Victoria & Albert’s Reopening at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort?</strong></p><p><br>Victoria & Albert's at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort is reopening on Thursday, July 28, 2022 and you can make reservations starting June 20. </p><p><br>The reopening has "enhanced flavors" and a newly reimagined Victorian-style dining room complete with murals & wall coverings that showcase timeless elegance and subtle inspiration of a whimsical garden.</p><p><br>If you want to up your experience even further, the private Queen Victoria’s Room or the upscale Chef’s Table (with a front-row seat to the chefs at work) are other options. The world-class wine collection has over 500 options in the wine cellar and is perfectly paired with the dishes by V&A sommeliers. There are also delicious non-alcoholic cocktails that can be paired as well. </p><p>Dishes on the tasting menu are continually evolving. When it reopens, you will be able to sample dishes such as Colorado Lamb with pickled blueberry and violet mustard, and line-caught turbot with fennel fondue, and Pernod beurre blanc. If the finest of beef is your thing, you can experience the Wagyu A-5 Miyazaki with sauce romesco and potato rösti. Chocolate lovers will enjoy the Spectrum of Chocolate, an ombré featuring specialty sourced chocolates with accents of buttermilk, Grand Mariner, and vanilla.</p><p>A reminder about Victoria & Albert’s dress code. This is an upscale and intimate dining experience and the culinary crown jewel of Walt Disney World. Guests are required to dress accordingly for the upscale experience with semi-formal to formal attire that respects the restaurant’s elegance and opulence. There is also a minimum age limit of 10.</p><p>--</p><p><strong>What's on the Menu when Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue Reopens on June 23, 2022<br></strong><br></p><p>The long-running classic Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue will be reopening its doors on Thursday, June 23, 2022 with an updated version of this fan favorite musical extravaganza accompanied by a family-style feast. The show takes place at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, inside Pioneer Hall. The Pioneer Hall Players are ready to dance and sing as they do best.</p><p>The Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue has historically had some of the best comfort food at Walt Disney World. It’s all-you-care-to-enjoy feast with bottomless fountain drinks and for those over 21, red and white sangria, draft beer, and wine are included.</p><p>The Hoop Salad is a simple but satisfying starter with the signature “hoop” vinaigrette topped with sharp white cheddar, cucumbers, and tomatoes. The House-made Cornbread with delicious honey butter is legendary. There's also some very tasty Creamy Coleslaw before the main course arrives at your table. </p><p>For the main course there's Pecan-smoked BBQ Pork Ribs with BBQ sauce. The other main plate is the one, the only – the Legendary Fried Chicken – and it tastes just like how it sounds … legendary. </p><p>And what about those side dishes?

Big News from Disney Aulani, Plus More Reopenings at Disneyland
<p><strong>Aunty’s Beach House at Disney Aulani will Reopen on May 25<br></strong><br></p><p>Aunty's Beach House at Aulani will reopen May 25 giving keiki (kids) aged 5-12 access to the fun and adventure once again. Plus, there's something new: Aunty's Beach house will offer evening activities for the whole family for the very first time.</p><p>Aunty's Beach House is designed as a typical hale (or house) where kids might visit their "aunty." The beach house is a Hawaiian kids club where the focus is on holiday fun. Each of the six rooms is dedicated to different activities - from a movie room to computer lab, arts and crafts studio to a game room.</p><p><br>Parents can reserve a playtime in Aunty’s Beach House between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. daily for secured and supervised children’s programming. During these hours, parents choose 1.5 hours of playtime for complimentary themed activities on "Uncle's Side" of the house or 2 hours on "Aunty's Side" of the house for premium activities. This is typically a hot ticket and reservations are required.</p><p>Complimentary activities include interactive games and arts and crafts based on the theme of the day. Premium activities include Surf’s Up, A Surfin’, Fishin’ and Dancin’ Party with Disney friends. Children will learn about the ocean, catch a wave on carpet surfboards with Max and get the scoop on fishing Hawai‘i waters with Goofy.</p><p><br>NEW! Now the whole family can get in on the fun with "after hours" activities from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. when Aunty's Beach House turns into an evening entertainment venue. Families can choose from an assortment of complimentary and premium activities where they can learn to play the ‘ukulele, get together for a lesson in animation, or make lasting memories with photo opportunities in front of surfing scenes and other colorful backdrops.</p><p>These activities used to take place in the community hall, but it sounds like they've now made them paid activities and moved them to Aunty's Beach House.</p><p>Aunty's Beach House will reopen with new operations, safety and health protocols in place. Among them: face covering requirements, capacity limits, physical distancing, spacing between craft benches and play areas and temperature checks.</p><p>Reservations for Aunty's Beach House can be made up to two weeks in advance by calling (808) 674-6943 from 7:00 a.m. – 9:30 p.m. daily. Programs are subject to change.</p><p>--</p><p><strong>“Tale of the Lion King” Debuts May 28 at Disneyland Park<br></strong><br></p><p>Starting May 28, 2022, Disneyland Park will welcome “Tale of the Lion King” to its new home at the Fantasyland Theatre, where this original-story theatre adaptation of “The Lion King” will be staged in an all-new presentation. At the heart of the production is a traveling troupe known as The Storytellers of the Pride Lands who weave the tale of how a cub becomes a king through dialogue, song, dance and percussion. From the scenic and costume designs to the new original music arrangements and choreography, “Tale of the Lion King” honors and is inspired by the cultural roots of this timeless story.</p><p>Also on May 28, Troubadour Tavern will reopen with new menu items inspired by the show.</p><p>--</p><p><strong>‘Fantasmic!’ is now 30 and is Returning to Disneyland Park on May 28<br></strong><br></p><p>If you have never seen “Fantasmic!” this is definitely a must-do (at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World, although we prefer the Disneyland version). Fantasmic is an emotional extravaganza of colorful Disney-animated story scenes, choreographed to an exciting musical score. At Disneyland, the waters of the Rivers of America come alive as Mickey Mouse dreams he is the Sorcerer’s Apprentice and faces several villains, using the power of his imagination to save the day. Along the way, fantastic events and images appear from stories including “Fantasia,” “The Jungle Book.” Fantasmic features live performers, character appearances, enhanced special effects and pyrotechnics.</p><p>--</p><p><strong>A Sneak Peek at Disney Cruise Line Disney Wish Inaugural Merchandise <br></strong><br></p><p>WIth the Disney Wish setting sail this summer, Disney is teasing a little more with a preview of some of the merch that you can take home with you from the exclusive Disney Wish merchandise collection. </p><p>Inspired by the Grand Hall on the ship, the first release of merch reflects the enchantment of the Disney Wish with details that include rhinestones and rich fabrication.</p><p>There is something for everyone, from T-shirts, blouses and long sleeve shirts to pullovers and accessories. </p><p> </p><p>A Pandora charm set features Rapunzel (the Wish's bow character) and Captain Minnie Mouse. </p><p> </p><p>You'll also find a new pair of Minnie Mouse ear headbands to add to your collection and even a matching Loungefly backpack.</p><p>Dooney & Bourke has a tote that's part of the collection, which will be available at retail shops on the Disney Wish.</p><p><br>--</p><p><strong>Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Podcast<br></strong><br>Thank you very much for listening to this episode, Amelia and I hope that you enjoyed it.

How to Claim Your Spot on Cinderella Castle, plus Cosmic Rewind News
<p><strong>Claim Your Own Unique Place on Cinderella Castle as it transforms with Disney PhotoPass Photos<br></strong><br></p><p>Disney PhotoPass Service is introducing a unique new offer called “Cinderella Castle Mural of Memories.” It will let you transform Cinderella Castle with your PhotoPass photos using augmented reality technology, brought to life through Disney’s collaboration with Snap.</p><p><br>Here's how it works:</p><p><br><strong>Step 1: Claim Your Place on Cinderella Castle</strong><br>While in <a href="https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/destinations/magic-kingdom/">Magic Kingdom park</a>, go to Cinderella Castle and open the My Disney Experience app to see available areas where you can pin a photo. Then select an available area on Cinderella Castle.</p><p><strong>Step 2: Select Your Disney PhotoPass Photo</strong><br>Choose one of your eligible photos (to be eligible, the photo must be taken by a Disney PhotoPass photographer in a picturesque theme park location). Or, use an iconic Disney photo for your memory.</p><p><strong>Step 3: Explore Memories and Share Your Own</strong><br>See the memories of family, friends and other park Guests. You can also download your memory and share it, too! <br> <br>There's a one-time fee of $9.99 per memory and includes the download of your memory photo.</p><p>Here's what you get for $9.99:</p><ul>
<li>A spot on Cinderella Castle to digitally pin a photo, which will be waiting for you (and all guests) to view during visits to Magic Kingdom Park throughout the 50th celebration and beyond (for at least three years).</li>
<li>A video of your PhotoPass photos photos flying from the castle for downloading and sharing.</li>
<li>The ability to download a high-resolution version of the pinned photo from your Disney PhotoPass gallery (a $16.95 value) both in its original form and a version with a special border that includes your first name. If you’re a Disney cast member, Annual Passholder, Disney Vacation Club Member, or Club 33 Member you’ll get a personalized border fora your affiliation.</li>
</ul><p>Over time, new sections of the castle will be released, so they'll be new spots to pin your memories. </p><p><br>--</p><p><strong>Final Playlist and a Villain are Revealed for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT<br></strong><br></p><p>Not surprisingly when <em>Guardians of the Galaxy</em>: Cosmic Rewind launches on May 27 it will have its own playlist to power your journey.</p><p>Disney Imagineers came up with a list of more than 100 potential songs for the Starjumpers’ onboard sound system. How did they narrow it down to six? The team rode the attraction over and over again testing how various tracks fit with the spirit and the movement of the coaster. They finally settled on the following six songs in their original classic versions:</p><ul>
<li>“September”</li>
<li>“Disco Inferno”</li>
<li>“Conga”</li>
<li>“Everybody Wants to Rule the World”</li>
<li>“I Ran”</li>
<li>“One Way or Another”</li>
</ul><p>You won’t know which track you're going to hear until you blast off. Plus we now know that the theme of the ride is to help stop Eson, the Celestial villain who is trying to complete an evil plan. </p><p>--</p><p><br><strong>Connections Café & Eatery is Now Open at EPCOT<br></strong><br></p><p>Connections Café & Eatery is open and ready to serve in the World Celebration neighborhood.</p><p><br>The restaurant’s design includes nods to Walt Disney’s original plans for EPCOT. There are two experiences – an eatery on one side serving lunch and dinner menus, and a café and pastry shop on the other open all day long. </p><p><br>When walking past Spaceship Earth on the way into the park, Connections Café and Eatery is on the left. Floor-to-ceiling windows give a full view of the open space featuring modern décor and tempting smells of pastries baking, fresh coffee brewing and burgers on the grill. Since World Celebration is located in the center of the park, Connections Café & Eatery offers some great views as well.</p><p>A colorful mural called “Global Gathering” covers one wall and reflects the heart of the restaurant – people from around the world gathering around food. It’s one of the biggest murals Walt Disney Imagineering has ever created. Take note how the scenes blend seamlessly from sunrise to sunset.</p><p><br>You can also see chefs at work in three show kitchens. Watch them grilling, sautéing and baking everything from burgers to pizzas and sprinkling pixie dust on fun desserts from milkshakes to waffles.</p><p>Whether it's coffee or tea, you'll find it here showcasing how various cultures enjoy their favorite drinks.</p><p>As always at WDW, don’t forget to look down. There are three original floor inlays inspired by Walt’s 1966 “Florida Project” site plans, where EPCOT was to serve as the “center” of Walt Disney World. These details honor Walt's original dream of EPCOT. </p><p>--</p><p><strong>‘Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond!’ Opening Summer 2022 at Animal Kingdom Park<br></strong><br></p><p>The Nemo show is getting an update: “Finding Nemo: The Big Blue… and Beyond!” – opens this summer at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park.</p><p>The fully updated, 25-minute show incorporates live performers and puppets, along with many of the favorite songs from the original “Finding Nemo: The Musical.”</p><p>In addition to a new script, the show features new set pieces and a new LED video wall designed to visually extend the world created by the physical sets on stage. We aren’t talking small set pieces either. Watch for a 32-foot-long sunken submarine and a fish tank volcano standing nearly 15 feet tall.</p><p>--</p><p><strong>How to Treat Mom for Mother's Day at Disneyland and Walt Disney World<br></strong><br></p><p>Mother’s Day May 8 is almost here and Disney chefs have put their best creations forward to celebrate. </p><p><strong><em>Disneyland Resort</em></strong><strong><br></strong><br></p><p><strong>Disneyland Park<br></strong><br></p><p><strong>Plaza Inn </strong></p><ul><li>Mother’s Day Brunch: Drop “inn” to enjoy a meal with family on Main Street, U.S.A. with classic American fare joined by Minnie Mouse and her friends.

The Longest Running Show at Walt Disney World is Coming Back
<p><strong>Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue Returns Summer 2022<br></strong><br></p><p>Get ready to welcome back another old favorite as the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue returns this summer to Walt Disney World. Reservations will be available starting May 26 for showtimes beginning June 23.</p><p><br>The Pioneer Hall Players lead the way on this frontier-style family fun dining experience in Pioneer Hall at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground. First debuting in 1974, Hoop-Dee-Doo is a rousing Wild West performance, featuring singing, old style comedy with lots of fun (including audience participation). The food is also great, featuring fried chicken, smoked BBQ ribs, a variety of savory sides and even strawberry shortcake for dessert.</p><p><br>This show is the longest running performance at Walt Disney World. When it returns, Hoop-Dee-Doo will have a few updates to its script and scenery, while staying true to the treasured experience that it’s been known for all these years.</p><p>-- </p><p> </p><p><strong>Olaf Will be Pleased, as Hugs are Back across the Disney travel universe<br></strong><br></p><p>As early as April 18, Disney will start reintroducing traditional character greetings at Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts, as well as aboard Disney Cruise Line and at Disney Aulani Resort in Hawaii. What does this mean? You will once again be able to hug Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and more friends, and get an autograph from your favorite Disney Princess (or villain). </p><p>To manage expectations, Disney notes that not all locations will be available immediately for character interaction, but they are planning to reopen in phases throughout the spring and early summer of 2022.</p><p>--</p><p><strong><em>Late-Breaking News:</em></strong><br><strong>Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind Roller Coaster Debuts on May 27</strong></p><p>In an early gift of summer, Disney announced that the Cosmic Rewind coaster at EPCOT will officially debut on May 27, 2022. </p><p>While the coaster itself promises to have elements of Crush's Coaster from Disneyland Paris, there is also a pre-show. As the story goes, Xandarians are coming to Earth and building the first “other-world” showcase pavilion at EPCOT, called the Wonders of Xandar pavilion. Guests will learn more about their technology and culture as they move through the pavilion, and discover how our two cultures are similar in so many ways.</p><p>We will report more details as they emerge in future episodes. So stay tuned to 1923 Main Street as the news comes in.</p><p>--</p><p><strong>2022 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival Begins July 14<br></strong><br></p><p>The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is returning to Walt Disney World Resort this summer, from July 14 through November 19, 2022.</p><p>It will be back with everything that you know and love about the festival and we will share full details on the event as it draws nearer. But if you plan to attend, you now know the dates!</p><p>--</p><p><strong>Connections Café and Eatery Opening Soon<br></strong><br></p><p>Connections Café and Eatery will soon open its doors at EPCOT. This new dining experience embraces cultures from around the world and will bring them to life in true EPCOT fashion. </p><p>Here is a preview of the menu for this highly anticipated restaurant. It's a casual quick-service restaurant with a global culinary feel.</p><p>If you love burgers, there's the <strong>French Bistro Burger</strong> with caramelized onions, bacon and brie, or the <strong>Southwestern Burger</strong> featuring a roasted chipotle-corn salsa and guacamole spread. That's not all, you can also enjoy the Vietnamese-inspired <strong>Banh Mi Burger</strong> or the Greek-inspired <strong>Mediterranean Burger</strong>.</p><p>For a lighter option, there are salads inspired by French and Chinese cuisines. The <strong>Niçoise-style Salad</strong> is packed with potatoes, white and green beans and olives drizzled with a delicious Dijon vinaigrette. For an Asian flare, the <strong>General Tso Chicken Salad </strong>features ingredients like broccoli slaw, red bell pepper, mandarin oranges and crispy wontons.</p><p>There are four types of pizza as well, including a classic <strong>Meatball Pizza</strong> and a plant-based <strong>Curry Spice Pizza </strong>topped with carrots, potato, peas and lime “yogurt.”</p><p>And for the little ones there's a <strong>Grilled Chicken Bao</strong> or classics like the <strong>Chicken Nuggets Basket</strong> or <strong>Cheeseburger</strong>.</p><p>Connections Eatery will also have a dessert-style dish: the <strong>Liege Waffle</strong>. This treat is made with brioche yeast dough stuffed with pearl sugar and finished with tasty toppings.</p><p>For the milkshake lover, there are two options: A <strong>Mango-Coconut Milk Shake</strong> topped off with a pomegranate molasses drizzle, and the delectable <strong>Apple Pie Gelato Shake</strong>.</p><p>Both adults and kids can enjoy specialty beverages at Connections Eatery. The <strong>Watermelon-Mint Agua Fresca</strong> is alcohol-free. For adults there are multiple wines and draft beers available, along with the <strong>Cucumber and Thai Basil Cooler</strong>, a specialty cocktail filled with freshness and flavor.</p><p><br>As a reminder, Connections Café is the future home of Starbucks at EPCOT.</p><p>--</p><p><strong>Exclusive Merchandise and Enchanting Memories Await Aboard the Disney Wish<br></strong><br></p><p>The Disney Wish will feature an elegant retail district that runs between the Grand Hall and the Walt Disney Theatre on deck 3. On either side of this shop-lined promenade, five distinct outlets will offer exclusive Disney merchandise and luxury gifts like jewelry, watches and accessories.</p><p>One of these shops, Treasures Untold, will be the go-to destination for signature Disney Cruise Line collectibles, including the largest selection of Pandora Jewelry ever, plus limited-time Artist Spotlight collections and guest-favorite Dooney & Bourke handbags.</p><p>In a new location on deck 5, returning Disney cruisers will find a familiar sight: Mickey’s Mainsail, a fleet mainstay filled with Disney Cruise Line themed souvenirs and gifts, plus even more Disney Wish exclusives — like the special-edition Loungefly mini-backpack and headband above. And on the upper decks, Dory’s Forget-Me-Knots will feature swimwear, water-play gear and fun graphic tees inspired by favorite Disney stories.</p><p><br>--</p><p><strong>Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Podcast<br></strong><br>Thank you very much for listening to this episode, Amelia and I hope that you enjoyed it.

Walt Disney World Trip Report Spring 2022, Plus Disney Travel News
<p><strong>What's it Like to Visit Walt Disney World Right Now?<br></strong><br>Walt Disney World is pretty much back to normal in many ways. Masks are a thing of the past. In fact, we felt like the only guests wearing masks at all. We still required a negative Covid test to board a plane home, so we had to be extra careful (although this mandate for Canada is set to expire on April 1, 2022). It's very rare to see a mask on guests at Walt Disney World, except on monorails and buses, where they are still required (although we feel that this mandate won't be here for much longer.</p><p>As Walt Disney World continues to emerge from the pandemic, there are still some things that are catching up. For example, there are not boats running from Disney's Contemporary Resort. This is because Disney World lost a large number of boat captains over the pandemic and they are currently trying to hire and train new captains as quickly as possible. On a related note, we were told that the SeaRaycer mini speedboats would not be back. Apparently, the boats sat around for too long over the pandemic and simply got gummed up and required too much service to make the fleet worth keeping. We don't believe they will be replaced based on our discussions with Disney Cast Members.</p><p><strong>Is Lightning Lane Better than FastPass+?</strong></p><p>In short, no.</p><p>Disney's Genie + and Lightning Lane make visiting the parks at Walt Disney World much more challenging and frustrating versus previous methods of FastPass and FastPass+. We share full details in the episode, along with some tips and tricks for how to make the most of the current Lightning Lane and Individual Lightning Lane.</p><p><strong>Disney World Rides and Attractions Continue to Experience Downtime</strong></p><p>Consistent with what we had been hearing before this visit, many Disney rides and attractions continue to experience more downtime than was previously "normal" for Walt Disney World. Once again, we believe that this is due to staffing challenges and hopefully this will be remedied once Walt Disney World returns to more robust Cast Member staffing levels. </p><p>This was particularly noticeable on things like the Disney Vacation Club Moonlight Magic Special Event. When you only have three hours in a park (in this case, Epcot), having Ratatouille down and Spaceship Earth down and Frozen Ever After experiencing issues etc., it's not a good thing. It led to longer lines at the few attractions that were open and overall was a poor experience as a result.</p><p><strong><em>In other Disney Travel News...</em></strong></p><p><strong>Connections Café Will Be the New Home of Starbucks at EPCOT</strong></p><p><br>This spring, Connections Café will become the new home of Starbucks at EPCOT. Like other Starbucks locations throughout Walt Disney World Resort, this Starbucks will be designed to fit the theme of its surroundings.</p><p>To make way for Starbucks to move to its new location in World Celebration, Traveler’s Café in World Showcase will close this spring. </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Facemask Requirement Dropped for Disney Skyliner</strong></p><p><br>As of March 16, face coverings are now optional for fully vaccinated guests on the Disney Skyliner. Face coverings will also be optional for fully vaccinated guests on Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser.</p><p>At this time, face coverings remain required by all Guests (ages 2 and up) on monorails and Disney buses.</p><p><br><strong>Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Podcast<br></strong><br>Thank you very much for listening to this episode, Amelia and I hope that you enjoyed it.

What's New and What's Coming Back Soon at Walt Disney World
<p><strong>A Look at the Newest Entertainment at Magic Kingdom Park<br></strong><br></p><p>Magic Kingdom Park has more favorites returning, plus new entertainment filling the streets and the castle stage as part of the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebration.</p><p>“Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire” is newly enhanced that features characters from “Frozen,” “The Princess and the Frog” and more as they join Mickey Mouse and all his friends in a musical extravaganza on the Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage. </p><p>The opening and finale of the show feature a new song and sparkling EARidescent fashions designed exclusively for the 50th. </p><p>The Festival of Fantasy parade is now back – with not one, but two runs each day! Of course the show features the fire-breathing Maleficent dragon – along with just about every major Disney character favorite.</p><p>And sharing the same parade route is the recently launched Adventure Friends Cavalcade. It takes over the Magic Kingdom streets several times a day with nearly 30 of your favorite Disney and Pixar friends including Moana, Nick and Judy from “Zootopia” and Miguel from “Coco.”</p><p>--</p><p><strong>More Experiences Added to Disney Genie+ Service<br></strong><br></p><p><strong>Two new experiences are now available in</strong> <strong>Disney Genie+ :</strong></p><ul>
<li>Magic Kingdom: <strong>Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade</strong>
</li>
<li>Disney’s Hollywood Studios: <strong>See Disney Stars at Red Carpet Dreams</strong>
</li>
</ul><p><strong>--<br></strong><br></p><p><strong>Connections Café and Eatery Opens This Spring at EPCOT</strong></p><p>Connections Café and Eatery recently celebrated a new milestone, with the installation of the first of five marquees. While no date has been announced, the restaurant will open at some point this spring giving EPCOT visitors a new fast-casual restaurant and adjoining café. </p><p>It is in the World Celebration neighborhood of EPCOT.</p><p>The name Connections Cafe was inspired by the core EPCOT idea of “connecting”– by the common bond we share over food and the gathering of people across cultures.</p><p>--</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Update on Hawai‘i’s Safe Travels Program & Safe Access Oahu Program</strong></p><p>Starting March 26, 2022, Hawaii's Safe Travels program will end, meaning passengers arriving from within the U.S. will no longer have to show proof of a COVID-19 vaccination or a pre-travel negative test result upon arrival to Hawaii in order to avoid quarantine. </p><p>However, international passengers still have to follow the travel requirements put in place by the federal government, so testing is still required. If you are traveling from outside the U.S., remember to check before flying.</p><p><br>Also, Honolulu’s Safe Access Oahu program has also ended, and visitors no longer have to provide proof of full vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test to dine on property.</p><p>What hasn't changed: the State of Hawaii still has a face covering mandate for all indoor locations. </p><p><br>At Disney Aulani Resort, face coverings are required for each Guest age 2 and up, and must be worn in all indoor locations, including Laniwai - A Disney Spa, except when actively eating or drinking while stationary and maintaining appropriate physical distancing. Face coverings are optional in outdoor common areas at Aulani Resort.</p><p>--</p><p><strong>Thank You for Listening to the Disney Travel Podcast<br></strong><br>Thank you very much for listening to this episode, Amelia and I hope that you enjoyed it.
