Recently we shared new concept art for Jaleo by Chef José Andrés which will open this winter in Disney Springs. And on a stroll through Disney Springs, we checked the latest progress at the upcoming restaurant in person, which includes the Jaleo sign well in place!

So many great merch items are popping up in Disney World! Check out this awesome find, thanks to Instagram friend @emkaybeck. This shirt honors the dearly departed Great Movie Ride.
The Great Movie Ride Sweatshirt
Emily found it at Disney Style in Disney Springs!
And there’s lots happening in Hollywood Studios as well! Thanks to our Instagram friend @aleyafromdisney, we’ve got even more news and merchandise to share with you!
New Star Wars Shirt
Declare your allegiance with this new short sleeve spirit jersey found in Tatooine Traders! Or, if you are a Jedi Master, there’s a new sweatshirt for you too!
The new year has begun, and what better way to start the year than with lunch at one of our favorite Walt Disney World table service restaurants: Liberty Tree Tavern! You know this colonial-esque spot as the premier place to get a turkey dinner in Magic Kingdom, but the lunch menu also offers a la carte options, so I got into that for ya, too!
Liberty Tree Tavern
Liberty Tree Tavern takes its colonial roots seriously, and diners can see that in the decor. Each room is packed to the gills with details from the time period, and if you look closely, you’ll see that rooms are themed to colonial figures. George Washington gets a place of prominence over the mantle in his room.
We just got a sneak peek at the brand new “Move It! Shake It! MousekeDance It! Street Party” starting in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom this Friday, January 18 — and we can’t wait to see the parade in person now!

In previous announcements we learned this would be a high-energy, interactive parade celebrating all things Mickey and Minnie Mouse in a Main Street, U.S.A. street party. A new video just posted by Disney gives a behind the scenes look at the prep for this parade, the redecorated floats, and more!
Happy Monday to you! We’re back with another DFB Video today, and we’re telling you to LOOK DOWN in Walt Disney World!
What Will You Find on the Paths in Toy Story Land?
Why? Because there are a TON of cool “Easter Eggs” (hidden little touches you can usually only find if you take time to look for them) on the ground all over Disney World! We’re taking you on a trip through all four parks (and even a Resort or two) to show you 20 of our favorites. We hope you’ll join us in looking down in our latest DFB YouTube Video!

at Walt Disney World’s Polynesian Village Resort is an oasis of creative drinks and tiki decor. Truly: grabbing a drink here is always a fun time.

You never really know what’s going to happen around here…
Antics in the Grog Grotto
And our Disney pal Daniel (hi, @WanderDisney!) recently visited with Trader Sam and shared his thoughts on some of the bar’s drink options.
Drinks at Trader Sam’s
The Tropical Snowstorm is listed on the menu’s limited time, seasonsl insert, but Daniel notes that all the drinks on this page are available to order all year. (So long as the bar has the ingredients, you can get one!) The Tropical Snowstorm is Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey, Parrot Bay Coconut Rum, Coconut Cream, Cinnamon, and Nutmeg!
