While some folks have gone full speed ahead in developing their culinary skills over the last few months, the rest of us have embraced the cereal diet.
With the new ‘Baby Yoda’ cereal coming to grocery stores, we decided to take a trip down memory lane and look back on six Disney cereals that we wish were still around! ‘The Child’ is hardly the first Disney character to grace the cover of a cereal box!
Mickey’s Magix
We’re starting off with a cereal you’ll possibly recognize. Who can forget Mickey’s Magix? It turned your cereal milk blue! We were all sipping on ‘blue milk’ before we ever stepped up to any Milk Stand in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge!
You can check out the commercial for Mickey’s Magix Cereal here!
Chocolate Mud & Bugs
If you ever wondered what it was actually like to eat bugs like Timon & Pumbaa, you probably grabbed a box of Chocolate Mud & Bugs from the grocery store back in the day! This chocolatey cereal came with marshmallows in the shape of — you guessed it — bugs.
While you didn’t ACTUALLY eat any bugs, this chocolatey way to start your morning was a fun way to imagine your breakfast was “slimy, yet satisfying!” Watch the commercial here:
Buzz Blasts
This colorful cereal was a staple of every Toy Story fan’s breakfast! Buzz Blasts was introduced in 2002, a few years after the release of Toy Story 2.
We dug up the commercial for this cereal, too! Check it out here:
Hunny B’s
The next cereal we wish Disney would bring back takes us to the Hundred Acre Wood. Hunny B’s was released around the same time as Mickey’s Magix and Buzz Blasts. The honey-graham cereal had cute little pieces in the shape of Winnie the Pooh, honey jars, and bumblebees!
Lilo & Stitch has a HUGE following. So it should come as no surprise that they had their very own cereal! Lilo & Stich was a chocolate cereal with marshmallows in the shape of Lilo, Stitch, Jumba, and Pleakley.
Last but not least, we’re sure princess fans were well stocked on Princess Cereal. Not the most imaginative of names, but this limited-edition cereal was a colorful, strawberry-flavored breakfast that was revived in 2017. Marshmallows came in the shape of wands, roses, and crowns!
If we had these cereals in our pantry, we wouldn’t mind having cereal for every meal! And, for all your snacking needs, you could even make some trail mix or Puppy Chow with these cereals for an extra treat while you’re watching Disney+!
Did you use to purchase any of these Disney cereals? Which one would you buy again in a heartbeat? Let us know in the comments!

Walt Disney World continues the “Voices From Home” campaign with a new special music video of Epcot’s Mariachi Cobre. Many Epcot visitors enjoy seeing Mariachi Cobre each year as the band entertains those who travel through World Showcase. Now the members of Mariachi Cobre return to perform a hit song taken from Pixar’s Coco.
The band worked together to produce a fantastic rendition of “Remember Me.” If you’ve seen the movie, you’ll recognize this familiar melody. You can watch Mariachi Cobre perform the song in the video below.
Mariachi Cobre has been entertaining Walt Disney
World guests since 1982. Their voices and instruments are the reason so many enjoy seeing them entertain in the Mexico Pavilion. They perform warm melodies and world-famous folk music from Jalisco, Mexico. In addition to their traditional songs, the band also plays music from Pixar’s Coco in special seasonal offerings. The vibrant dancers and storytellers who accompany them enhance the experience for those who watch their show!
We have been enjoying these virtual musical performances so far. The music found at Disney World is truly one of the highlights of a Disney vacation. Will you go watch them play at Epcot in the future? Let us know in the comments!

Take a trip to the Atlantic seashore with a touch of Disney magic. Disney’s Beach Club and Yacht Club Resorts are wonderfully seaside-themed resorts that neighbor each other, and share some amenities. Disney’s Beach Club has a bright, cheerful atmosphere with relaxed, but polished decor reminiscent of upscale beach cottages that families flock to in the summer. With one of the best pools on Disney property and a long list of great features, Disney’s Beach Club is like finding buried treasure along the seashore.
Location
The Yacht and Beach Club Resorts are part of the EPCOT Resorts area. It is smack dab in between EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. You can walk to either theme park, walk to neighboring resorts, and over 15 restaurants. Disney’s Fantasia Gardens mini golf is a reasonable walk from this resort too. This resort area is one of the most loved areas in which to stay at Walt Disney World. It can be hard to pick a favorite out of the hotels in this neighborhood.
Yacht and Beach Club
Rooms
Disney’s Beach Club has regular hotel rooms, suites, and Disney Vacation Club deluxe villas. The interior of the rooms and suites evoke the seaside and the beach itself. The furniture and walls are soft tan and sandy tones. The linens, curtains, and accent pillows are soft blue hues. Bright polished metal furnishings add a modern touch, and there is quite a bit of shelving and storage throughout the rooms.
The balconies are great for a morning cup of coffee or an afternoon session of reading – if your room indeed has a full balcony. Some rooms have a small, standing-room-only balconette. Most rooms have two queen beds, though one king bed is available in select rooms. Some rooms also have a daybed in them. The rooms are very elegant with wall art inspired by the sea. There’s just a pinch of Disney touches in the decor, which include a framed art piece featuring Mickey and Minnie, and hidden Mickeys in the shower curtain.
There are three view types: Standard, Garden, and Water / Pool views. Speaking of views, you can use the awesome TouringPlans Room Finder to help you narrow down the exact room location you would like. You can plug in your preferences and find rooms that match your needs. Then when you make your reservations and check in you can request your desired rooms. This tool is free to use.

Tour a standard room, that is literally right next to EPCOT, in our video:
Club Level
The Stone Harbor Club Lounge at Beach Club is casual, yet elegant, with soft colors and beach decor throughout. A small balcony adds to the amenities of the lounge itself. Regular rooms, as well as suites, are available to stay in as part of the Club Level experience. Club Level rooms include: evening turndown, secured key access to the Club Level lounge (serving refreshments 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily), complimentary newspapers in Club Level lounge, and health club access.
Disney Vacation Club
This resort is a favorite among Disney Vacation Club members. The villas building has its own pool with a nice beach theme. Plus, there are two large sitting rooms that are a great place to relax, maybe even read a book, or to simply enjoy a change of scenery. The DVC wing is also very close to EPCOT itself. Each villa has its own spacious balcony – you won’t find any tiny balconettes here.
Enjoy Deluxe Studios all the way to Two Bedroom Villas. Deluxe Studios were recently refurbished and now offer a pull-down bed in addition to the queen bed and double-size sleeper sofa. The One Bedroom Villas are interesting here at Beach Club. Each has a king bed in the master bedroom, but some have a queen sleeper sofa, while others only have a double-size sleeper sofa. Then the Two Bedroom Villas have a king bed in the master bedroom then either two queen beds plus a double-size pull-down or a queen-size sleeper sofa. A little confusing, right?
Disney’s Beach Club Villas
Dining
One of the biggest advantages of Disney’s Beach Club and the EPCOT Resorts area is the variety of dining options. Not only does Beach Club has its own variety of dining, but right next door Yacht Club does as well. Plus, you can easily get to the dining at Disney’s Boardwalk as well as the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin hotels. At Beach Club itself you can enjoy breakfast or brunch with beloved Disney characters at Cape May Cafe. Cape May Cafe also offers a clambake-themed dinner without characters. For a casual lunch or dinner, reminiscent of the classic soda fountain and ice cream shops in a bygone era, visit Beaches and Cream Soda Shop.
Inside the merchandise shop, just off the lobby is Beach Club Marketplace, which is open in the early morning and well into the late evening. Made-to-order sandwiches and other eats are available for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and a variety of grab-and-go items are available too. When you’re splashing the day away at Stormalong Bay, you can visit Hurricane Hanna’s Grill for great food and poolside drinks. Hurricane Hanna’s is popular with many Disney fans thanks to its beautiful views and great menu. Finally, Martha’s Vineyard is a lovely lounge that has gone through multiple changes through the years. It isn’t very remarkable, but if you’re looking for a relaxing lounge for a cocktail or glass of wine it is a nice choice. In-room dining is also available.
Securing dining reservations at popular full service restaurants like Cape May Cafe can be frustrating and time consuming. You can use the TouringPlans Reservation Finder to help you secure dining reservations and save time. Simply select your desired restaurant, then plug in your desired date and time or meal period, select to be notified either via email or text message, and voila! This incredible tool is available with or without a TouringPlans paid subscription, but you do need to create, or have, a TouringPlans login.
Pools
This seaside-themed resort is home to three pools – one at the DVC Villas side, one quiet pool, and one feature pool that is the envy of all other Disney resort pools. The themed feature pool is Stormalong Bay and it has three great features that make it the most sought-after pool experience at a Disney resort. First, there’s the sandy beach that leads into the water itself. Then, there’s the waterslide that starts off at the top of a shipwreck. But arguably best of all is the lazy river. This feature pool sits right in between Beach and Yacht Club, and is available to guests of both hotels, and absolutely no one else.

Recreation
Being a beach-themed resort, there are lots of ways to have fun here. Go for a blissful run, jog, or walk around the entire boardwalk and even up to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Head over to Disney’s Yacht Club marina to rent a variety of watercraft and enjoy Crescent Lake. There’s even volleyball and tennis courts, fishing excursions, nightly campfires, and movies under the stars. And don’t forget, Disney’s Fantasia Minigolf is within walking distance too. There’s so much to do!
Transportation
There are three modes of transportation at this resort. Being so close to EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, there is a delightful boat transportation that is shared with the neighboring resorts. It takes less time to walk to the theme parks, but if you’re looking to save your energy and rest your legs then the boat transportation is a very attractive feature. You can also walk to the EPCOT Disney Skyliner station just outside the park gate and head to Disney’s Caribbean Beach station then transfer to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Beach Club is mere steps from the Skyliner station. For the other theme parks, water parks, and Disney Springs there is continuous bus transportation. One main bus station is located out front of the lobby.
Convention Center
Disney’s Beach Club Resort offers meeting and event space. You’ll often find conventions and weddings at this resort.

Ahoy! Disney Springs celebrated its first phase of reopening to the public last week, so The Boathouse is now open once more. The Boathouse is well-known for its waterfront views, seafood, oyster bar, and cocktails. One of their iconic cocktail drinks is the Duck Duck Razz, which is equally beautiful and delicious. It even comes with a rubber duck to take home, too! Today, we’ll teach you how to make the Duck Duck Razz drink at home.
Duck Duck Razz – Drink Recipe
2 parts Raspberry vodka
2 parts peach schnapps
1 part blue curacao
Lemon juice
Simple syrup
Of course, you have the option to add a cute rubber duck as a garnish to the drink!
The Boathouse has opened its reservation book and all reservations will be guaranteed indoor seating. Reservations are limited since they’re seating the indoor dining restaurant at 25% capacity. However, they do encourage walk-in parties in the event guests don’t have a reservation. Those who walk-in will be offered outdoor seating on the patio. Of course, seating space is limited.
Besides dining, guests at Disney Springs can also visit the Boathouse Boatique and ride the Amphicars. They are complying with CDC guidelines in regards to table spacing. All guests visiting will be asked to follow sanitation guidelines at Disney Springs.
Let us know your favorite memories of The Boathouse if you’ve been there in the past. Also, consider ordering a Duck Duck Razz while enjoying the waterfront view!
