Anyone who’s been following DisneyFoodBlog on social media — especially instagram — for a while knows how much I. LOVE. JELLYROLLS.

Jellyrolls

This stripe-y location on the Disney World BoardWalk is where incredible dueling pianists play YOUR requests night after night. Anything from Gaga to Gangnam Style, Billy Joel to Billy Idol. Whatever YOU request is what’s on the playlist for the evening.

Me? I’m usually the weirdo sitting in the back, nursing a Tito’s and soda and editing hundreds of food pictures on my macbook until 2AM. But the music is so great, why would I want to be anywhere else??

36 Things You Didn’t Know You Could Do at Walt Disney World!

By AJ and the DFB Team 8 Comments

One of the most exciting things about visiting Walt Disney World Resort is that there is always something new to experience — even if you’ve been hundreds of times. Here we’ve gathered 36 Things You Didn’t Know You Could Do at Walt Disney World — so let’s all go try something new!

Cinderella Castle

1. Experience the Magic Kingdom Flag Retreat

This moving Magic Kingdom experience requires no Fastpass+ — just a desire to participate in a formal flag lowering ceremony held at the Magic Kingdom flagpole in front of the Walt Disney Railroad Station. The ceremony includes fanfare by trumpets, the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, and the singing of God Bless America and the Star Spangled Banner accompanied by the philharmonic.

Main Street, U.S.A., Flag

After the lowering and folding of the flag, a guest veteran is handed the flag and a short procession up Main Street, U.S.A., is accompanied by a medley of U.S. military songs. This event takes place daily, so check with Guest Services or the Times Guide to find out when to watch!
