Umm…We’re FREAKING Out Over the Characters That Just Rode By Us On a HORSE in Disney World!

Before Disney World reopened, they told us parades and character greetings weren’t going to happen right away and would return at a later date. But fret NOT! We gotta say — things are interesting at Magic Kingdom with these new Character Cavalcades they’ve replaced their normal entertainment offerings with instead!

We’ve probably seen just as many Disney characters today with these new experiences than we would on an ordinary day at Magic Kingdom — we might have even seen more! We also saw something else pretty interesting!

By Janelle Sheetz Leave a Comment

With a name like the “Five Dozen Eggs Slush” — we didn’t quite know EXACTLY what we were in for at the Villains After Hours!

Villains Unite the Night

But we DID know where to find it, of course! After all, Gaston is the only Disney Villain we know of who eats five dozen eggs on the reg, so it’s off to his Fantasyland watering hole we go!

News: Menu and Opening Date Revealed for Beauty and the Beast Red Rose Taverne in Disneyland!

By AJ and the DFB Team 6 Comments

Recently we let you in on an upcoming Disneyland special dining experience: for a limited time, Village Haus in Disneyland is being transformed into the Beauty and the Beast-inspired Red Rose Taverne. And now we know: it’s opening THIS FRIDAY!!!! February 24!

Village Haus Restaurant

Don’t worry: Village Haus isn’t being permanently evicted (just locked in the East Wing for a while). The Red Rose Taverne overlay is a limited time affair. In the meantime, we are so, so, so excited that the March 17 release of the live-action BATB is prompting so many cool tie-ins (like the gorgeous Belle-inspired cupcake that’s made an appearance on both coasts)! If you need us, we’ll be tying our napkins ’round our necks, cherie.

So when Disney Parks Blog released the menu for Red Rose Taverne, we just had to take a glance. It’s our duty. And we take it very seriously. Mrs. Potts-making-tea-for-her-guests seriously.
