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!

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!

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

Post author By disneyfoodblog.com
Post date June 5, 2020

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!

NEWS: Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney World Just Raised Their Alcohol Prices

Post author By disneyfoodblog.com
Post date June 5, 2020

Just moments ago we reported that Amorette’s Patisserie had officially reopened in Disney Springs!

Amorette’s

And while they only have a limited menu right now (they hope to be fully operational by Sunday), we noticed they’ve made few price increases on some of their alcoholic beverages!

When we stopped by Amorette’s Patisserie earlier today, we snapped this pic of their menu and we compared some of their items to their pre-closure prices, we noticed a few discrepancies!

Amorette’s Menu

While Taittinger by the bottle still costs $80 (this place is fancy FANCY!) the champagne served by the glass is now $18 instead of $17. Amorette’s other bubbly, Iron Horse Fairy Tale Celebration, is still $38 by the bottle but has gone up to $18 from $15 by the glass.

Wine Slushy Machines at Amorette’s Patisserie

Banfi Rosa Regale Sparkling Red is still $31 by the bottle, but now costs $16 by the glass instead of its former $13. Nino Franco Rustico Prosecco is also still $28 by the bottle but $12 by the glass — a dollar extra. Lastly, their Wilson Creek Almond Sparkling Wine has gone up from $39 to $45 by the bottle and from $9 to $11 by the glass.

Amorette’s Patisserie

Those are all the items Amorette’s Patisserie has raised its prices on so far — we’ll be sure to let you know if we spot any more increases!

One of our favorite Disney Springs just reopened! Find out which one here!

Here’s How We Snagged a FREE One-Time Express Pass in Universal Orlando Today

Post author By disneyfoodblog.com
Post date June 5, 2020

It has been an exciting day at Universal Studios now the theme parks are open to the general public!

Hogsmeade

And believe it or not, the crowds haven’t been too bad today! We’re not sure what sort of wizardry is at work, but we’ll take all the extra elbow room we can get in Hogsmeade right about now!

The line for Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure was noticeably more subdued as we waited for our chance to ride! We had reserved a spot in the virtual line this morning using the Universal app, but there was still a short wait!

Line for Hagrids’ Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure

But alas! Just as it was almost time to embark on our adventure, the ride broke down! Since no one knew when the attraction would be up, the crowd dispersed.

Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure

But just when all hope seemed lost, we received a push notification…and WHAT WAS THIS?! Universal sent us a one-time use Express Pass for our troubles!

Screenshot of Universal App

That’s right — the QR Code for a single-use Express Pass (which is a feature Universal guests usually have to pay for) magically showed up on our device. Similar to Disney’s Multi-Experience Fast Passes (which Cast Members sometimes issue to guests when things don’t work out quite right) this was Universal’s way of saying, “Sorry for the trouble!”

Unfortunately, the Express Pass wasn’t available for every attraction, but it was awesome to be able to walk up to any ride at any time and use it whenever we wanted!

Screenshot of Universal App

We can’t guarantee Univeral is giving out these one-time Express Passes every time a ride breaks down or if we just got lucky today! Either way, we wanted to share this little tip with you so you could be prepared just in case this happens to you!

Check out 6 things we learned from attending Universal’s reopening here!

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

Post author By disneyfoodblog.com
Post date June 5, 2020

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.
