Welcome back to Backlot Express!
This counter service option is quite possibly the most popular in Disney’s Hollywood Studios (with the exception of the relatively new Woody’s Lunch Box). Known for its highly detailed movie warehouse setting and classic dishes like chicken nuggets, burgers, and salads, it’s a spot which appeals to many guests.
The past couple of years, Backlot Express has also been known as the spot to find some Star Wars themed eats among the offerings. The Royal Guard Burger and Dark Side Chicken and Waffles (with said waffles emblazoned with Darth Vader) were found as entrees in front of Star Wars cupcakes for dessert options featuring an array of characters ranging over the years from Darth Vader and Yoda to Chewbacca and BB-8 and beyond.

We’re here today, though, to check out the newly revamped menu and to discover what’s changed and what’s remained the same on the menu at Backlot Express! [Read more…]

Hi, there! We’re back with another DFB Video on this Monday morning, and we’re discussing how Disney gets you to spend more money on your vacation.

wants to celebrate breakfast all day — in cupcake form! — and we are totally here for it! Sprinkles locations in Disney Springs at Walt Disney World and in Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort (as well as locations everywhere else!) will serve up Cereal Cupcakes every week through early February!
Cereal Cupcakes in January!
These might look a little familiar because Sprinkles crafted these tasty, crunch cupcakes last January, too! Three of this year’s cupcakes — Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Fruity Pebbles, and Lucky Charms — are returning!
Disneyland guests and annual passholders
were treated to a not-so-pleasant surprise this morning. Whether showing up at the park to buy a one day ticket or annual pass, everyone was greeted with a major price increase — including on the MaxPass service and daily parking as well.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
That’s right, if you’re planning a trip to Disneyland you’ll need to save more than a few more pennies to purchase your park tickets or annual passes with this price increase. Some prices went up as much as 25% overnight.
Greetings from Hollywood Studios! As Christmas winds down in the parks we found some changes in the park (Slinky Dog, where’s your tail?) as well as some new additions, and of course some new merchandise to welcome in 2019!
Hello from Hollywood Studios!
We’ll start this week’s tour out in Animation Courtyard where there’s a brand new Disney Junior Dance Party that is pretty fun!
Our next adventure in the parks took us to Animal Kingdom on the search for new food, new merchandise and any updates for you!
Animal Kingdom’s Tree of Life
We were excited to see and say “welcome back” to a cupcake friend featuring Lion King‘s Simba as our day in the park started at Creature Comforts.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
