2021 Has Already Brought Changes To Disney World

2021 is bringing some changes to Disney World and today let’s talk about the changes that have already begun.

Cinderella’s Castle up close.

Park Hopping returned on January 1, 2021. If you purchase a ticket or annual pass with Park Hopper benefits you can visit more than one park in one day. 

You can once again visit as many parks as you want depending on the capacity. You can also only Park Hop after 2:00 pm. Disney will soon change the time for Park Hopping. You can read more about park hopping here!

Disney is now not giving guests free MagicBands . In the past, you could choose a MagicBand and the MagicBand would be shipped to your house before you went to Disney World. Now, if you have a hotel reservation you can get a discount MagicBand or link MagicBands from another Disney World trip.

MagicBands.

In the past, if you had a Disney World reservation you would get free reusable luggage tags and a Magical Extras discount card. These would be given to you before you go to Disney World.

Now, you will not get a free reusable luggage tag or Magical Extras discount card. Instead, you will get the reusable luggage tags and Magical Extras discount card at the front desk of your Disney World resort.

I will continue to keep you updated with changes happening in Disney World!

My Top Five Favorite Things About Be Our Guest Restaurant

It has been a long time since I have done a blog article for My Top Five Favorite Things Series, so today I will be sharing my top five favorite things about Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom.

5. Be Our Guest has different menus for lunch and dinner. If you are going to Be Our Guest for lunch I think you should try the Croque Monsieur. A Croque Monsieur is a ham and cheese sandwich. I had it when I went to Be Our Guest for lunch two years ago and I thought it was delicious!

The Croque Monsieur.

4. For dinner at Be Our Guest I had the Filet Mignon.  It comes with green beans, carrots, and potatoes. This is delicious and I would recommend trying this if you are going to eat dinner at Be Our Guest.

3. I love how if you are eating in the ballroom it looks like it is snowing outside!

It’s hard to tell in this picture, but it looks like it’s snowing.

2. Last time I went to Be Our Guest I absolutely loved my dessert! For dessert you always get the Dessert Trio Platter. The Dessert Trio Platter includes a macaron filled with raspberries inside, white chocolate cup (it’s edible!) filled with the grey stuff with crisp pearls, and dark chocolate truffle that is filled with dark chocolate ganache.

You even get a picture of a rose and “paint” to color the picture. Except it’s not paint, it’s actually frosting that you can eat! You can eat the picture when you are done painting it.

The “paint”.
  1. The best part about Be Our Guest is how you can choose to eat from three themed rooms. You can eat in the ballroom, the Beast’s room, or the library. This is really cool because you feel like you are actually eating in Beauty and the Beast’s castle.
This is in the library.

Be Our Guest is my favorite restaurant in Magic Kingdom so if you are looking for a place to eat in Magic Kingdom for lunch or dinner, then you should go to Be Our Guest.

You Should Watch These Movies On Disney+ For Christmas

Merry Christmas! Are you looking for something Christmas themed to watch for Christmas? Well, I have a whole list for you!

First is The Muppet Christmas Carol. The Muppets retell the story of A Christmas Carol with the Muppets acting as characters from the book. The Muppet Christmas Carol gets 5 Mickey Bars! If you are looking for a classic Christmas movie, then watch this!

Noelle is about Kris Kringle’s daughter Noelle. She is the daughter of Santa Claus and this year her brother is training to become the next Santa Claus. The only problem is Noelle’s brother is really stressed out from all the pressure, so Noelle says he should take a break. When he doesn’t return, Noelle goes on a mission to find her brother. This movie gets 5 Mickey Bars! The ending really surprised me.

Lego Star Wars Holiday Special follows Rey as she prepares to celebrate Life Day. Rey and BB-8 go to a Jedi Temple so Rey can become a better Jedi teacher, but she finds this portal that brings her to different time periods in Star Wars history. I would give Lego Star Wars Holiday Special 4 Mickey Bars! I did like seeing all the different scenes from the Star Wars movies, but it was a little too silly for me. Lego Star Wars Holiday Special is not related to Christmas but you can still watch it during Christmas.

I hope that you find a Christmas movie that you and your family will enjoy on Disney+!

Izzy’s Top Five Must Get Snacks At Disney World

Disney World is home to some amazing snacks! Here is a list of five snacks in Disney World I think you should definitely try. All of these snacks are 5 Mickey Bars.

5. I really enjoyed the Tiger Tail Chocolate Twist at Isle of Java. As soon as you bite into this treat you get a mouthful of chocolate. The outside has orange and brown frosting. I think you should try the Tiger Tail Twist while you are in Animal Kingdom.

4. The crepes in the France pavilion are really good! What is really cool about these crepes is as soon as you order your crepes they start making them. Last time I went to Disney World, I had the chocolate crepe. When I bit into it, it was still hot. You can get different flavor crepes at Crêpes des Chefs de France .

3. School Bread is a delicious snack in the Norway pavilion. School Bread is a sweet roll with a custard filling and dipped in coconut. School Bread is amazing! You can find this treat at Kringla Bakeri og Kafe .

2. You should get the Dole Whip! A Dole Whip is a pineapple soft serve ice cream. I don’t like pineapple, but somehow I think the Dole Whip is delicious. You can get the Dole Whip at Aloha Isle in Magic Kingdom.

  1. I of course recommend getting the Mickey Bar! A Mickey Bar is a frozen vanilla ice cream with a hard chocolate shell on the outside shaped like Mickey’s face and ears. This is a very popular snack at Disney World and you can buy it at any ice cream cart in Disney World.

I hope this list helped you find snacks to buy on your Disney World trip.

My Disney (And Universal) Christmas Ornaments!

Christmas is right around the corner and I wanted to share with you guys my Disney and Universal Christmas Ornaments that are currently hanging on our Christmas tree!

My favorite Christmas ornament is this Pooh Bear ornament. Pooh Bear is hanging from a blue balloon.

This ornament has Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Donald Duck. The top of the ornament has a cute green ribbon.

This ornament has Woody and Buzz Lightyear next to Christmas presents.

This ornament is a little creepy. It’s an ornament of Baby Yoda.

Every time I see this Darth Vader ornament, I feel like he’s watching me.

This ornament is of BB8. It’s my favorite Star Wars ornament.

This ornament is a Universal ornament, not a Disney ornament. It’s a minion holding a stocking with the name Dave written on it.

This is a globe with Mickey and Minnie Mouse inside it. They both are holding candy canes.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my Disney and Universal ornaments as well as my globe with Mickey and Minnie in it!

New Marvel Shows Are Coming To Disney+

First, we talked about the new Star Wars shows coming to Disney+  and now it is time to talk about the Marvel shows coming to Disney+ soon!

WandaVision will be about Wanda and Vision as a married couple. This series takes place after Avengers: Endgame and using her powers, Wanda and Vision will be in different time periods such as the 1950s, 1970s, and 1990s. This series will be on Disney+ on January 15, 2021.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier also takes place after Avengers: Endgame. Falcon now has Captain America’s shield and the bad guy from Avengers: Civil War, Helmut Zemo, will be back. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier will be on Disney+ on March 19, 2021.

Loki is getting his own show called Loki. In Avengers: Endgame, the Avengers traveled back to New York City and Loki grabs the Tesseract and vanishes. That is where this series begins. I am excited for this series because Loki is one of my favorite Marvel characters. Loki will be on Disney+ in May 2021.

What If? will be about what would have happened if things had gone differently in the Marvel movies. What if Peggy Carter had taken the Super Soldier serum? What if Loki had wielded Mjolnir? This interesting series will be on Disney+ in the summer of 2021.

Hawkeye will take place after Avengers: Endgame where Hawkeye is teaching his daughter who will become the next Hawkeye. Hawkeye will be on Disney+ in 2022.

Ms. Marvel will be about a teenage Pakistani American girl with shape shifting abilities. This show will be on Disney+ in late 2021.

Moon Night will be about a formal criminal that changes personalities. We don’t know when this show is coming out yet.

She-Hulk will be about Bruce Banner’s cousin who becomes She-Hulk. We do not know when this show will be on Disney+ yet.

Secret Invasion will be about Nick Fury and how several Marvel superheros are being replaced by the Skrulls. We do not have a release date for this series yet.

Ironheart will be about an engineer who creates an advanced suit of armor and then she becomes a super hero. We do not have a release date for this series yet.

Armor Wars will follow War Machine having to stop a villain after Tony Stark’s technology is stolen. We don’t know when this show is coming out yet.

I Am Groot will be about Baby Groot. We do not know when this show is coming out yet.

That means twelve Marvel shows will be coming to Disney+! I guess we all will be busy watching Disney+!

New Star Wars Shows Are Coming To Disney+

Season three of The Mandalorian will be coming to Disney+ during Christmas of 2021.

Lucasfilm announced two Mandalorian spin offs called Ahsoka and Rangers of the New Republic. Both shows will take place at the same time as The Mandalorian.

The Bad Batch is a Clone Wars spin off that will be on Disney+ in 2021.

We’re also getting a show staring Cassian from Rogue One! It’s called Andor and will be on Disney+ in 2022. This show will take place before Rogue One.

Obi Wan Kenobi is getting his own show called Obi Wan Kenobi. This show will start ten years after Revenge of the Sith. We also know that Darth Vader will be in this series!

Star Wars: Visions will be on Disney+ in 2021. This show will be about Star Wars stories told by Japanese anime.

Lando will teach us more about Lando Calrissian. This is all we know about this show so far.

The Acolyte will be set during the end of the High Republic. We do not know when this show will be coming out yet.

A Droid Story will be about R2 D2 and C3PO. They will be going on a new adventure.

That was a long list! Which Star Wars show are you most looking forward to? I am most looking forward to the Obi Wan Kenobi show because it takes place after Revenge of the Sith and Revenge of the Sith is my favorite Star Wars movie.

Disney+ has announced plans about a lot of shows coming to Disney+ and I promise to tell you about more shows in different blog articles. Keep on the look out for those blog articles!

You Can Watch Last Year’s Candlelight Processional While At Home

During Candlelight Processional, a celebrity would host the event and tell the story of Christmas with a choir and fifty piece orchestra. This year, unfortunately, Candlelight Processional had to be canceled.

That doesn’t mean that you can’t see Candlelight Processional this year though! You can watch last year’s Candlelight Processional on the Disney Parks Blog website. The Candlelight Processional in the video, on the Disney Parks Blog, was filmed in 2019 and the narrator is Neil Patrick Harris. Becky Cline from the Walt Disney World Archives will be sharing the history of Candlelight Processional and why so many people love it.

I have never seen Candlelight Processional before, so I am excited to be seeing it for the first time!
