Everything New Coming To Disney World In 2022

Happy New Years! Now that it is officially 2022, we have to talk about everything new coming to Disney World!

A new cavalcade called “Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade” is coming to Disney World in early 2022. It will have more characters than any other cavalcade.

Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Resort will be opening on March 1, 2022. It will be two nights long and you will get to build your own lightsaber, eat at Crown of Corellia, meet characters from Star Wars, and so much more! It will be near Hollywood Studios.

Epcot will be opening a a ride called Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. This ride will be in Epcot in the summer. Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will be Disney’s first thrill ride that has a reverse launch. The ride will be one of the longest completely closed coasters in the entire world.

Tron Lightcycle Power Run will open in Magic Kingdom in 2022. Tron Lightcycle Run will take you on an epic adventure on a lightcycle. This ride was inspired by a similar ride located in Shanghai Disneyland.

The new Epcot entrance is still under construction. The new entrance will have greenery, winding paths, and the Leave a Legacy photos will be relocated.

Disney announced a new quick service restaurant in Epcot will be opening, but we don’t know when. We do know it will be called Connections Cafe and Eatery. It will replace Electric Umbrella, which is currently closed.

A new Walt Disney statue is supposed to be coming to Epcot, Dreamers Point is going to be part of the World Celebration neighborhood, and a wishing tree will be coming. Also, a story fountain will be coming. This story fountain will celebrate iconic Disney story telling. We do not know when this all will be happening.

A new play pavilion is coming to Epcot. It will be called Wonders of Life Pavilion. Disney said it will,”Build on the power of play, [the new pavilion] introduces an immersive and interactive ‘city’ where you can explore, create, interact with some of your favorite Disney characters.” We do not know when Wonders of Life Pavilion will open.

Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana will connect you to Moana and water in a walk-through experience. We do not know when Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana will open.

Back on June 25, 2020, Disney announced Splash Mountain would be rethemed to a Princess and the Frog ride. The ride will be about Tiana and Louis as they prepare for their first Mardi Gras performance. Construction hasn’t started yet, so we do not know when the ride will be ready.

The China pavilion is getting an updated 360 degree show. This show will be called Wondrous China. Disney has not said yet when this show will open.

Roundup Rodeo BBQ will be a full service restaurant in Toy Story Land. This restaurant will make you feel like you are in Toy Story. Construction has started, but we don’t know when this restaurant will be finished.

We have a lot to look forward to in 2022!

Hawkeye Review

Hawkeye ended on Disney+ and I really enjoyed it!

Before we get deep into the review, I would like to inform you that this review HAS SPOILERS for the Hawkeye series and the Marvel movies.

Hawkeye takes place during Christmas time where Clint Barton (Hawkeye) and his family are visiting New York for the holidays. Meanwhile, Kate Bishop, who has looked up to Hawkeye since she was a little girl, gets caught up in a murder mystery that involves the Ronin. This makes Hawkeye take his family home and help Kate Bishop.

This series was really well done and I really liked how this series took place during Christmas time. This gave the series a very magical effect.

This series was very intriguing because every episode you come closer and closer to finding out who the murder is.

I also loved Rogers The Musical! I was so happy that the entire song was at the end of the last episode!

I was happy that we got to see Yelena again. I think one of the best parts of the show was just watching Yelena and Kate Bishop interact. They both were really funny together.

I would give Hawkeye 5 Mickey Bars because I honestly don’t have any complaints! The show was interesting and drew me in. I think I also enjoyed this show a lot because everything took place on Earth, so everything made logical sense.

Magic Kingdom’s Spring Roll Cart Review

Did you know that there is a Spring Roll Cart in Magic Kingdom?

The Spring Roll Cart is located just outside of the entrance to Adventureland. There are two types of spring rolls: Cheeseburger Spring Rolls and Buffalo Chicken Spring Rolls. We tried both.

The Cheeseburger Spring Roll was really good! What I really loved about these spring rolls is that they are still hot when you buy them.

The Cheeseburger Spring Roll has a couple pickles inside it too, which gives this spring roll more flavor.

I was not a big fan of the Buffalo Chicken Spring Rolls. It was too spicy for me, but if you like spicy food then you will enjoy this spring roll.

I give Magic Kingdom’s Spring Roll Cart 4 Mickey Bars! Next time you are in Magic Kingdom, I would really recommend trying the Spring Roll Cart!

Spider Man: No Way Home Review

I saw Spider Man: No Way Home in the movie theaters and am excited to be reviewing it for you!

Before we get into the review, I would like to warn you that this review HAS SPOILERS for Spider Man: No Way Home.

Spider Man: No Way Home starts off right where Spider Man: Far From Home leaves of with Mysterio revealing that Spider Man is Peter Parker.

Peter Parker then goes to see Doctor Strange and asks him if it is possible to do a spell where everyone forgets that Peter Parker is Spider Man. While Doctor Strange is working on the spell, Peter Parker messes everything up by saying that he still wants certain people to remember that he is Spider Man. This ruins the spell and creates the Multiverse of Madness.

I did really like seeing all three Spider Mans together in the movie. I think the other two Spider Mans brought a lot of comedy relief which was definitely needed.

I also liked seeing all the different villains from the other Spider Man movies and seeing things from their perspective. Most of the villains in this movie never wanted to become villains, just the evil parts of themselves took over.

I am going to be completely honest with you. This movie made me so sad. When Aunt May died, I cried. The saddest part for me was when Doctor Strange finally is able to do the spell where everyone forgets that Peter Parker is Spider Man. Everyone also forgets who Peter Parker is. Now, Peter Parker lives by himself and nobody knows him. Isn’t that so sad?!

I give Spider Man: No Way Home 4 Mickey Bars.

Sanaa Review

Sanaa is one of the restaurants located inside of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.

When we went to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge in July, we went to Sanaa for the first time!

Sanaa is a very popular restaurant that serves African and Indian inspired dishes.

We first had the Indian-style Bread Service. That is five breads that come with many different types of sauces. Sanaa is known for its bread service, so when you eat at Sanaa, I would really recommend that you get the Indian-style Bread Service.

It was so good that we wanted more bread!

I had the African-inspired Biryani with Shrimp. This dish comes with vegetables, rice, and shrimp. I love shrimp, so I enjoyed this meal.

My dad had the African-inspired Biryani with Chicken. He thought it was really good.

My mom had the Samosas which are appetizers. She thought the Samosas were pretty good.

For dessert, I had the African Triple Chocolate Mousse. That is dark chocolate from Ghana, milk chocolate from Madagascar, Orelys Blond Chocolate, chocolate almond biscuits, and strawberries. It was DELICIOUS!

Al had the Pumbaa’s Dessert Grub. He thought his dessert tasted really good.

I give Sanaa 5 Mickey Bars!

50th Anniversary Treats!

A friend of ours just came back from Disney World and she gave us some 50th Anniversary popcorn!

The popcorn is many different colors and it tastes delicious! Some of the popcorn even has little pieces of candy on it.

I really like the packaging on the outside. It’s a nice blue color and has Mickey Mouse standing outside of Cinderella’s Castle. The top of the package has a golden ribbon.

We also received coffee. (The coffee is for my parents not me, but I still wanted to show you the festive box.)

I like the little Mickey Heads all over the box and I love how the popcorn and the coffee box both use the same colors, blue and gold.

While you are in Disney World, don’t forget to try some of the 50th Anniversary treats that are in the parks!

New Year’s Eve Fireworks Are Coming Back To Disney World

Last year, there were no fireworks in Disney World due to the pandemic.

The Fantasy in the Sky fireworks will happen on December 30th and 31st at 11:50 pm in Magic Kingdom. Enchantment will take place in Magic Kingdom at 6:30 pm.

In Epcot, the New Year’s Eve Countdown Fireworks will begin at 11:54 pm on December 31st. Harmonious will still happen on December 31st, just it will start at 6:30 pm.

This is very exciting news!

Columbia Harbor House Review

Columbia Harbor House reopened on August 5th and we were lucky enough to be at Columbia Harbor House the day it reopened!

Columbia Harbor House is a quick service restaurant that serves seafood. It was my first time eating there and I can’t wait to review it for you!

Here are some pictures from inside the restaurant:

We had the Lemonade Slushy. It was really refreshing!

I had the Grilled Shrimp Skewer that comes with rice and green beans. It was great! The shrimp had a nice flavor to them.

Al had the chicken strips that came with French fries from the kids menu. He really enjoyed his meal.

My parents had the Trio Platter. The Trio Platter is fried shrimp, chicken strips, fish, and hushpuppies. They loved their food!

For dessert, we had the Minnie Mouse Chocolate Lava Cookie. It was so GOOD! I loved how the cookie had a lot of chocolate in it.

I give Columbia Harbor House 5 Mickey Bars!

Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Review

Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is a ride located in Hollywood Studios that opened on March 4, 2020.

In August, I rode this ride for the very first time and I am going to be telling you all about it.

Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is located in the Chinese Theater. The Chinese Theater is really pretty, so be sure to take pictures and look at all the different posters on the walls.

Before you start the ride, you watch a Mickey Short called Perfect Picnic. Goofy pops out off the screen and invites you to join him on a train trip. You spend the entire ride with Goofy on his train.

This ride also has A LOT of Hidden Mickeys, so be sure to keep on the look out!

I really enjoyed this ride, but my only complaint is that everything on this ride went by so fast that I was struggling to keep up.

Besides that, I really enjoyed this ride!

Is The Coconut Dole Whip Better Than The Classic Pineapple Dole Whip?

On my last trip to Disney World, we went to Aloha Isle Refreshments.

Aloha Isle Refreshments has a must get snack. Can you guess what it is? It’s the Dole Whip! Every time we go to Disney World, we always get the Pineapple Dole Whip. We bought it again this trip.

The Pineapple Dole Whip isn’t the only type of Dole Whip you can get. There are many different types of Dole Whips to choose from. We also got a Raspberry and Pineapple Dole Whip Swirl. It was really good! The Raspberry and the Pineapple go really well together.

I decided to try the Coconut Dole Whip because I LOVE coconut! The Coconut Dole Whip was delicious! If you love coconut like me, then this is your Dole Whip. You can taste the coconut in every bite.

I actually like the Coconut Dole Whip more than the Pineapple Dole Whip. I know what your thinking. How?! I actually do not like Pineapple, so that is why I like the Coconut Dole Whip better.
