Lion King Serengeti Sangria
This is just one of many new offerings that Disney has released in celebration of The Lion King! A few others include the Simba Ice Cream Sandwich and the Simba Sunset Dole Whip.
Though you may not realize it, Blizzard Beach is always a fun place to find new and yummy treats. And, seeing as this Disney World Water Park is custom-made for lots of fun in the sun, several of the snacks are custom-made for keeping cool.
Salted Caramel Milkshake
And that’s what we’re doing right now. It’s time to dive into the Salted Caramel Milkshake at Lottawatta Lodge!
It certainly looks like Alien Pizza Planet is here to stay in Disneyland’s Tomorrowland.
Pizza Planet Rocket
This spot, which was once Redd Rockett’s Pizza Port, was originally announced as a temporary dining experience during last year’s Pixar Fest… but the theming has stuck around far beyond the Fest.

And from January 8-12, 2020…Disney’s throwing it back with retro-inspired race themes.
Last month, the spitting camel which stands in front of The Magic Carpets of Aladdin in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland had suddenly gone missing. We were pretty sure that it was just being taken back for a little renovation.

And that must’ve been the case, because POOF! The camel has returned to its original spot! But, oddly enough, it seems to be acting a little strange…
We know that many of you planned your Disney World vacation BEFORE the Galaxy’s Edge dates were released, so we want to do our best to help you navigate and alleviate the stress of some of those crowds! If you’re a morning person then you’re in for a treat with new EXTRA Extra Magic Hours! Not sure what that means? No problemo — we’re gonna tell you all about it!
Regular Extra Magic Hours allow Disney World hotel guests to access the parks with low crowds first thing in the morning to enjoy the cooler temps, shorter lines, cool photos with fewer guests, etc. Now…you HAVE to be staying at a Disney resort in order to have access to these Extra Magic Hours. This is one of the many perks that Disney puts in place to get you to stay at one of their hotels over off-property hotels.

So, what are Extra Extra Magic Hours and why were they created? Well, Disney often has Extra Magic Hours, but these are typically just an hour or two in the morning or evening at the parks. Extra Extra Magic Hours are additional park hours that have been added for resort guests DAILY.
Our guess is that Disney has done this to try to alleviate some of the Galaxy’s Edge crowds since an insane amount of guests will be heading to the parks for the opening of the new land this fall. Galaxy’s Edge is set to open on August 29th, which is why the Extra Extra Magic Hours will be offered every day starting September 1. They will continue until November 2, 2019, at the following theme parks and times.
Here’s a friendly reminder in hopes that it helps save some of our DFB readers a bit of money…

We love when new frozen treats make their way into the parks, especially when the inevitable summer heat is drawing near.
