Raglan Road re-opened its dining room earlier this month along with its outdoor patio bar.

But more recently, the restaurant began offering its special weekend brunch menu once more, so you know we had to stop by and check it out!
Packing for a trip to Disney World looks a bit different now than it did a few years ago. Face masks are no longer required on enclosed transportation at Disney World, but you may still be required to wear one in select areas of first aid centers, or you may choose to wear one simply because you want to!
Cast Members
Disney also notes, “It is recommended Guests who are not fully vaccinated continue wearing face coverings in all indoor locations, including indoor attractions and theaters and on enclosed transportation.” We’ve talked about actually wearing face masks in Disney World, but just HOW MANY masks should you plan on bringing with you? We have a series of questions you need to ask yourself to find out!
It’s been quite the past few weeks as we’ve headed back to Disney World to check out all the Character Cavalcades, reopened restaurants in the parks, and what the crowds have looked like during the reopenings!

The Disney Parks have also reopened with new health and safety guidelines. Along with temperature checks and distancing measures, Disney World is also putting mask requirements in place for guests and Cast Members.
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here again with another What’s New at Disney Springs!

And, we’ve got plenty of merchandise and food to share with you, so let’s dive right on in!
It’s been too long since we got our Tonga Toast fix! We headed back to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort for a special breakfast at Kona Cafe.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Lobby
On our last adventure to Kona Cafe, we shared what the dining experience is like since it re-opened. We indulged in crispy pork and vegetable potstickers and washed it down with a giant pineapple filled with Lapu Lapu. Now we’re BACK and stuffin’ our faces with one of the most popular breakfast classics at Walt Disney World.
Although the Fourth of July was the beginning of this month, we’ve been feeling extra patriotic watching Hamilton on repeat at home!

While we’ve been toting around the Fourth of July Loungefly Backpack and wearing star spangled shirts, we can’t help but want to put on the newest pair of sparkly ears in Disney World!
Now that Disney World has re-opened, the parks are testing new health and safety guidelines and adjusting protocol around limited park capacity to ensure guest and Cast Member safety.
Magic Kingdom Balloons
While we’ve known that Disney would be implementing a mandatory mask requirement for everyone on property, we’ve also noticed that they are required at all times on attractions. The only place guests are able to take them off are when they are swimming, visiting a relaxation station, or dining.
It’s been quite the journey heading back to Disney World (especially since the Skippers aboard the Jungle Cruise keep taking us on wild adventures to the backside of water).

While we’ve already seen the Jungle Cruise Dress, Funko Pop, Backpack, and more, we’re taking you with us to spy shirts that are perfect for a trek through Adventureland!
If you’re spending a whole day in Disney World, using your phone all day long can drain your battery pretty quickly in the parks.
Cinderella Castle
Although you can bring your own portable charger from home, one of the best tools in the park is the FuelRod option for guests. The stations located all throughout the parks and resorts allow guests to purchase a portable charger and swap it out once it has been drained of power.
Now that EPCOT has officially reopened, we’ve been checking out the park to see what’s new!
EPCOT
Upon reopening, the park also kicked off A Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! Of course, we visited all the booths to see what they’re serving up this year! But let’s take a look at what ELSE is new in EPCOT!
