DFB Video: Which Disney World Dessert Party Should YOU Do?
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video today, and we’re helping you answer a question you may be asking: “Which Disney Dessert Party should YOU do?”
Happily Ever After Dessert Party in Magic Kingdom
Each Disney World park has its own nighttime show offering everything from stunning fireworks displays to beautiful projections and more, all set to memorable music. Dessert Parties offer guests a chance to pair a dessert buffet with a reserved viewing area for the evening’s production. And, since scoring a viewing area for these incredibly popular shows can be a time-consuming challenge, the dessert parties have been quite successful. If you’ve become interested in attending a Dessert Party during your Disney World vacation, the next thing you have to figure out is: which one?! And that’s what we’re here to help you with today!

Pandora’s Pongu Pongu No Longer Serving Signature Snack, Pongu Lumpia
Animal Kingdom’s Pandora — The World of AVATAR is known for a few of its more unique eats almost as much as it’s well known for the land’s headliner attractions and remarkable atmosphere.
Pongu Pongu
For instance, the Night Blossom at Pongu Pongu — Pandora’s beverage and snack stop — has been a huge hit. So much so, that this drink has also received a spiked makeover with a recently added Rum Blossom version.
Night Blossom
The drinks have been such a huge hit that perhaps they’ve overshadowed what was supposed to be Pongu Pongu’s signature snack: the Pongu Lumpia. Because on our visit to Pongu Pongu today, we realized that the Pongu Lumpia is no longer listed on the menu. [Read more…]

Disneyland Resort Eliminating Plastic Straws, Lids, and Bags Starting This Week
If you’ve been following along, you may already be well aware of Disney’s conservation efforts which were announced in late July. Measures to eliminate plastic waste in Disney destinations worldwide include refillable amenities in Resort rooms and the reduction of plastic shopping bags as well as the reduction of plastic straws used at the resorts and restaurants. It was announced that these efforts were to be in place by mid-2019.
Single-Use Plastic Straws to be Eliminated
However, implementations have already begun in earnest. We just reported that plastic straws are now available only by request at several restaurants in Walt Disney World. And now, we’ve learned that Disneyland Resort is set to eliminate single-use plastic straws, lids, and shopping bags across property this week.
According to Mouse Mail (an official Disneyland publication) plastic straws are to be available only by request. And plastic lids for adult iced beverages will no longer be offered. (Currently in Disney World, kids will continue to get plastic straws in the kids’ cups.) Please note that guests with disabilities who may require a straw or lid for their beverage will be accommodated with alternative options, and the Services for Guests with Disabilities team will be available before and during visits.
Plastic shopping bags will only be available by request in merchandise locations as well. [Read more…]

We can’t wait to try it again!

Mimosa Bar
The Shimmering Sips Mimosa Bar is brand new this year, and the offerings sound incredible! Mimosas include varieties like the Tropical Mimosa and the Madras Mimosa (which we have tried!), and there’s a tasty-sounding, kid-friendly drink called Frozen Apple Pie!
Madras Mimosa
