Speaking of Pizza Planet, the zipper features a keychain with the restaurant’s logo attached, so you can daydream about all the pizza slices you could ever want. (The Aliens are obviously just as excited as we are about pizza!)

Our Favorite Star Wars Bounty Hunter Finally Shines In This New Kitchenware Collection!

With Baby Yoda taking over the world (no seriously, he’s everywhere), it’s sometimes hard to remember that there are other characters in the Star Wars universe!

Boba Fett in Star Wars Weekends Parade

While it’s hard to step away from “The Child,” it’s about time Boba Fett got some love, too!

A new collection from Toynk has dropped featuring the infamous bounty hunter. This four piece set is super durable (hello stoneware!) and a fun way to add even MORE Star Wars into your life.

This collection includes a mug, a large bowl, a smaller dessert plate, and a larger dinner plate that could house some pretty scrumptious bites.

The color is similar to Boba Fett’s iconic armor, and the manufactured wear and tear on these items is a nice touch. The Boba Fett Stoneware Collection is $49.99 and you can head over to Toynk to grab yours now!

This is a fun collection for anyone who is looking to add some more Star Wars to their meals. There has been some crazy adorable merch that has hit the market since The Mandalorian launched, and we can’t wait to see what else drops from the Star Wars universe while we wait for season two!

Still obsessed with Baby Yoda? See what other items you can add to your collection!

What do you think about this new collection? Let us know in the comments!

NEWS! The NBA APPROVES Plan to Resume Season at Walt Disney World!

We’ve been waiting to hear official confirmation that the NBA will likely be finishing the season at Disney World.

ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex

Yesterday, we found out more about the potential dates and arrangements for the NBA at Disney and what teams would likely be joining the league at the Orlando resort. The plan was pending approval until it was just announced that the National Basketball Players Association has approved the 22-team format for the NBA to finish the season.

According to ESPN, the NBA and the NBPA have officially decided on and approved the plan to finish the season in Walt Disney World. The coming weeks will have the two organizations working out some details as they move towards a July 31st resumption of the season.

NBA Experience

The NBPA does note that “Various details remain to be negotiated and the acceptance of the scenario would still require that all parties reach agreement on all issues relevant to resuming play.” Starting dates for next season will be discussed in the coming weeks as well.

NBA Experience

We’ll be following along with developments pertaining to the NBA at Disney so keep an eye on DFB for all the latest updates!

Guests Can Now MODIFY Disney World Reservations From Now to June 21st But There’s A BIG Catch

With the reopening of Disney World parks set for July 11th, a lot of folks with June reservations have been left in limbo.

Polynesian Resort Lobby

Shortly after the official announcement of a reopening date, Disney’s hotel reservations and ticket sales systems went dark so Disney could begin to implement their new reservation system. That meant no new reservations and no modifications to existing reservations. For many folks who just wanted to reschedule their June reservations, that was frustrating. Well, now Disney is allowing guests with check-in dates prior to June 21st to call and modify their reservations.

As of right now, anyone with existing reservations between now and June 21st can call Guest Services at (407) 934-7639 to modify their reservation. The ONLY locations that you can currently rebook for are Disney Vacation Club Deluxe Villas and Fort Wilderness Cabins.

Bay Lake Tower

Wherever your original reservation was, you can reschedule for one of these locations but you will need to pay the difference in price if you choose to do so. If you take no action to modify at this time, your reservations prior to June 22nd will be automatically canceled.

We know this is a big change, so if you have any questions please let us know and we will do our best to get those answers for you! We’ll be keeping a close eye on developments with the reservation system at Disney so keep up with DFB for all the latest updates.

Creepy or Very Cool? Disney Just Filed a Patent for More Realistic and Advanced Skin for Robots and Animatronics!

Disney is always working on some crazy new tech, and WE’RE always looking out for their newest innovations!

Hondo Ohnaka

Imagineers have been doing a lot of work on tech for the parks and a LOT of that has to do with robotics. Disney is at the forefront of animatronic and entertainment robotics engineering, so they come up with crazy new inventions ALL THE TIME. Recently, we’ve spotted a realistic robot handshake and a patent for an autonomous park-roaming robot. Today, we spotted a NEW patent and this one focuses on a robot’s…skin? You read that right! Take a look!

Disney cranks out patents like nobodies business, but they don’t all apply to the parks. Sometimes they’re coming up with a neat consumer product or a new way to innovate in the film industry. Today though, we spotted a patent for a “Robotics Skin System with Integral Elastomeric Links to Complete Mechanical Linkages.”

Now we know what you’re thinking: “What the HECK does that mean???” Essentially, Disney has developed a new skin (yes, like people skin) for their animatronics and robots. The “new” aspect is that this skin system can be used to connect moving parts of the robot instead of with a frame and joints underneath. The best way to visualize this is to think of a robotic octopus tentacle that has no mechanical bones.

©Disney

We apologize for the following illustration because it IS horrifying, but it’s a pretty good explanation of how this tech could be used. In a humanoid robot, the skin system could be used as a face made of latex (or similar material) with stiffened areas to connect to the motorized and robotic aspects, rather than the more traditional “robot skeleton” with a rubber skin stretched over it.

©Disney

We’re not sure if that’s cool or creepy, but we are leaning towards the cool side. This is definitely the kind of tech that Disney could apply with new animatronics in their theme parks so it will be interesting to see what sort of bots are developed in the coming years!

We’ll be keeping a close eye on new Disney tech, so follow along with us to make sure you know all about the new innovations!
