Fall program participants are being advised to complete a form that will keep them in line for future programs. Disney has said that there will be modifications to eligibility requirements for those accepted, which will allow them to reapply in the future even if they’ve since graduated.

Here at Disney Food Blog, we like to say “we gotchu” A LOT! That’s because we don’t want you to worry or struggle with any of the major challenges planning a Disney vacation can sometimes impose on having FUN!

Since we’re all getting our gear ready to head back to the Disney parks, we want you to be PREPARED! That’s why we’ve decided to expand our t-shirt store into a t-shirt AND face mask one-stop-shop!

That’s right — many of your favorite DFB t-shirt designs are now available to wear on yo’ face! 

Our cloth masks cost $14 and some are even customizable! They’re one-size-fit-all and provide full-coverage of your nose and mouth which means you can wear them at any Disney park — or wherever you like! Even though our masks are non-medical grade, they do meet CDC requirements and each mask has two 6″ elastic straps to loop around your ears.

And the best part? For every mask you buy, we’ll donate $1 to No Kid Hungry!

So what will it be? Maybe the Sonny Eclipse GALAXY TOUR Mask in honor of our favorite Cosmic Ray’s crooner?

Or maybe you’ll want to tell the world your winning Disney World with this Winning Mask!

If you’re as stoked as us to get your Rise of the Resistance on (uh, reportedly WITHOUT a virtual queue!) this Winning Studios Mask would really suit you!

And you know we’ll be flying on the backs of some banshees while we’re winning Pandora with our Animal Kingdom Mask on!

Dole Whip! We think our Pineapple Face Masks with stylish Japanese katakana lettering and cute lil Dole Whip baby are super kawaii!

For you Disney fans who are looking to dig up some fun at Magic Kingdom when it reopens, don’t forget your MK Geological Survey Mask!

We also made a Kingdom Mask just for our Magic Kingdom peeps! We love how the graphic looks with the blue!

You know we gotta rep for one of our favorite Disney World parks with this Winning Epcot Mask especially since Spaceship Earth’s refurb has been postponed! If that isn’t winning, we don’t know what IS!

And speaking of all things grand and miraculous, how about picking up our Grand Spaceship Mask? We think the Phoenicians will really get a kick out of this one!

We also made this similar-looking World of Tomorrow Mask with a little Japanese Kanji thrown into the mix!

Let us know if there’s a style you’d like to see in our shop and we’ll try to come up with some exciting new styles for you! Until then, make sure you read our 7 tips for wearing a face mask all day and everything you need to know about wearing a face mask at Disney World here!

Calling all cupcake lovers! Sprinkles is BACK with another limited-time cupcake that is making sparks fly!

Remember the Pineapple Upside Down Cupcake we showed you back in June? How could we forget! The gourmet cupcake shop in Disney Springs released another specialty cupcake that is downright patriotic. We made a special trip for the NEW July 4th Red Velvet cupcake released just today.

This sweet treat is only available between now and July 5th and costs $5.99. The cupcake is fairly simple made with a red velvet cake, cream cheese frosting, and topped with patriotic sprinkles. While the recipe may not be incredibly innovative, it tasted SO GOOD. Let us explain.

The cake is one of the best red velvet cakes we’ve tasted at Disney in a while! It was incredibly moist and chocolatey, but not too sweet. This was the perfect complement to the cream cheese frosting, which was definitely sweet.

The sprinkles were actually a cute surprise! Although they look a little dull on the menu pictures, they were really bright and sparkly in the sun. Making it the perfect cupcake for an Instagram pic.

This cuppy cake delight is beautiful on the outside and the inside! You can see the frosting isn’t layered on too thick. Which honestly, is totally fine because it’s so sweet you shouldn’t need any more than what you get!

If you happen to be at Disney Springs this Fourth of July weekend, we think this cupcake is definitely worth a stop. But, don’t worry if you can’t make it out to Sprinkles! They are releasing a few more specialties this July like the ooey-gooey S’mores cupcake and a Caramel Chocolate Chip cupcake.

Can’t make it to Disney Springs for dessert? Try making your own with this Mermaid Tail Cookie Recipe from Disney Cruise Line! 

Will you be at Disney Springs this weekend? Let us know if you’re picking up a 4th of July cupcake!

As you can imagine, Cast Members have been significantly affected by the closure of the Disney parks.

One such group are students participating in the Disney College Program. When the parks closed, Disney announced that the college program would be suspended in Disney World and Disneyland and it is still unclear when students will return. Well, it seems it will be a little bit longer; College Program participants have started to receive notification that their fall programs have been canceled.

Thanks to a reader, we can share the email that the college program participants are receiving. In it, Disney explains that due to the nature of the reopening process, the Disney World College Program will continue to remain suspended.

This particular readers program was supposed to run from August 17th through January 7th, thus meaning that Disney has canceled the Fall College Program.

The email goes on to note that Disney is working on revising the eligibility requirements for the College Program. When the program is welcomed back, students who were affected by the cancellations may be able to apply again.

The same is true for the participants who were expected to have their program at Disneyland. Disney Programs on Twitter shared both the statements for Disney World and for Disneyland.

So, at this time, it looks like Disney will not have College Programs assisting in the parks for the remainder of the year. We’ll be keeping an eye out for more updates about the College Program and other programs in Disney World and Disneyland. Stay tuned to DFB for all of the latest news.
