Happy Thursday! We’re back with another DFB Video today, and we’re discussing the pros and cons of Disney World transportation.
Catch that Monorail!
There is much more to Disney World than four theme parks. It’s a huge property with several Resorts, a shopping and dining district (that’s Disney Springs), two water parks, and more. So something every guest needs to consider is how to get around all of it! And this is an especially big topic these days in light of the recent addition of parking fees for guests staying at Disney World resorts. We’re discussing that topic and also how to get around if you choose to rely on Disney transportation at some point (or for all) of your vacation. [Read more…]
Things are always changing quickly in Disney Springs, and we’ve got the What’s New scoop on everyone’s favorite Disney-fied shopping district! Let’s go!

You’ll be getting JUNGLE JUICE, spiked with Meyer’s Dark Rum: it’s the new Ngumu Jungle Juice!
Now, you may know Jungle Juice — served around Animal Kingdom and also Animal Kingdom Lodge in spots like Boma — by one or more of its other names. It’s know as Moonshine for breakfast at Trail’s End, and Liliko’i Juice at ‘Ohana’s Best Friend’s Breakfast and Kona Cafe. Of course, it’s also known as POG Juice at those locations, which stand for the ingredients used in the drink no matter the name: Passion Fruit, Orange, and Guava juices! [Read more…]
We know, we know…. the new talk of the town when it comes to hues is turning towards Millennial Pink. But the Rose Gold craze is still going strong! And if you’re in Disneyland Resort sporting your Rose Gold Minnie Ears and Rose Gold Spirit Jersey, you can grab a new color-coordinating snack: the Rose Gold Macaron!
Rose Gold Macaron in DISNEYLAND!!!
Walt Disney World released a whole bunch of Rose Gold treats a little while back (and several are still available). And the Rose Gold Churro made waves in Disneyland recently.
But the Rose Gold Macaron is — so far — unique to Disneyland Resort… and our friend Heather (@diningindisney on Instagram) snagged one!

This construction, of course, requires space. And that space will come with the closure of several restaurants and businesses in Downtown Disney. According to the ocregister.com, the following spots will close by June 30th (with some spots possibly closing earlier) to make way for construction:
