Recent Disney World news

  • Innoventions West and part of Innoventions East will be closing in late April
  • Tomorrowland Terrace Dessert Party is being rebranded as Wishes Dessert Party which will begin on July 5 and include much higher prices
  • Be Our Guest breakfast is now available through June 18
  • Frozen events are returning to Hollywood Studios from June 17-September 7 and include fireworks, a dance party, a twice-a-day cavalcade, and a stage show featuring Olaf. The Frozen Sing-Along will also continue to be available, but it’s moving to the former American Idol Experience theater (which will now be called the Hyperion Theater).
  • A new Jungle Cruise-themed restaurant is rumored to be coming to Magic Kingdom

Quick tip of the day

Many/most Quick Service restaurants at Hollywood Studios offer specialty cupcakes that are usually delicious and count as a snack credit (or as a dessert on your Quick Service meal) if you’re on the Disney Dining Plan, or they cost you around $5 if you’re not.

    I was soooo disappointed in the Tomorrowland Terrace Dessert Party. Everyone rushed the rail. I booked it because I wanted a chance to sit and enjoy fireworks after a long day, and if we had to stand up anyway, we might as well have saved $97 for a family of 4 and eaten Mickey Bars on Main Street. I complained to the manager and he was obnoxious about it.

    • Kristy June 17, 2015

      i was wondering about this? So this isn’t part of the dining plan? I was contemplating doing this.

  2. Alex Lubeck March 27, 2015 Reply

    Do you know if they are taking reservations for breakfast at Be Our Guest? When I put any of the days that we will be there in May into the reservation system, it says that no times are available? Is it that popular??? I can get lunch reservations but my picky kids will do better there with breakfast.

  3. Bek March 27, 2015 Reply

    Is the Be My Guest Breakfast a character dining experience?

  4. Robyn March 23, 2015 Reply

    Thanks for the information on Be Our Guest for breakfast. We’re going to WDW for a week in the fall and I’m wondering if I can book a reservation there on two separate days of our trip or if I’m only allowed one reservation per trip/dining plan package?

    • Robyn March 23, 2015

      Nevermind, just now remembering that you said this is a test, so it might not be around come fall.

  5. Erin March 23, 2015 Reply

    I heard you mentioned the Epcot Dessert Party… do you have to call to book that party or can you do it online? I think I’d rather have the desserts from Epcot than the ones from MK!

    • Shannon Albert March 23, 2015

      You can book that by calling 407-WDW-PLAY. Here’s more info on that party – https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/epcot/illuminations-sparkling-dessert-party/

    • Erin March 23, 2015

      Thank you! I was absentmindedly looking up “Epcot Dessert Party”… Can’t wait to try it out for our trip in September!

    • Erin March 23, 2015

      Nevermind… I just read where you don’t really recommend it! hah, I’ll save my money for other things =)

    Regarding the Frozen fireworks shows at Hollywood Studios – are those in addition to, or in place of the Fantasmic fireworks show?

    • Shannon Albert March 23, 2015

      In addition to Fantasmic. Fantasmic is shown in its own outdoor amphitheater and the fireworks are shown in the middle of the park.

    • Jewel March 23, 2015

      Awesome! We booked the Fantasmic dinner package so I hope we are able to watch both shows, my kids love fireworks.

    • Shannon Albert March 23, 2015

      If fireworks happen to be scheduled right after Fantasmic, I suggest exiting Fantasmic using the upper right exit (as you face the stage) which should put you at the front of the park which is a good spot to watch the fireworks.

  7. Amanda March 23, 2015 Reply

    We will be there May 31-June 4. Will the Frozen sing along be going on or is it closed until June 17?

    • Shannon Albert March 23, 2015

      Be sure to listen to the episode because I discuss that.

    • Amanda March 30, 2015

      I have listened and it sounds like it will continue to be open and just move to the new theater June 17. I am able to book Fast passes tomorrow. I was planning to do the Fast pass for the Frozen Sing Along. It still doesn’t show up on the Hollywood Studios schedule for the 1st week of June. So I guess my question should have been: Do you think it will be closed for a short time (early June) in order to move into the new theater?

    • Jen March 30, 2015

      I just listened and didn’t hear you address if it will be closed and for how long?

I just got back from a five night stay at Coronado Springs and had the best time! Even though I went during the busy season I barely waited in any lines and was able to do everything I wanted!
