Sweet vs. savory — the ultimate battle foodie palettes must undergo when deciding what to eat next. When at Disney Springs, Guests are often able to have their pick of the litter when it comes to a sugary treat or a salty snack! But what if you crave both, at the same time? Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew is one of the newer food locations to have opened in Disney Springs and offers a multitude of caffeine-inducing cold brews and sugar coma donuts that can make a sweet tooth salivate. The location also offers savory breakfast sandwiches as well as a concoction that combines the best of both worlds: cheese and sugar.

As someone who loves both donuts and cheese (especially in melted form), this option sounds like the perfect snack to eat between meals. But also, it sounds like it may be a huge mistake in the making. Everglazed Managing Director Mike Crave stated, “We knew we wanted a couple of savory sandwiches to compliment the sweet donuts, and what’s better than a classic grilled cheese with a twist? It’s comfort food, it’s nostalgic, and it’s the king of variations when it comes to sandwiches.” Credit: EverglazedEverglazed offers their Grilled Cheeeeeese at $6 which comes on a soft, sweet, round bun (similar to a Hawaiian roll) and is topped with 4 slices of

On January 4, 2021, Donald Duck was toppling over on the Gran Fiesta Tour. On January 5, 2021, a tree with a sombrero stood in his place. Now, nearly 20 days later, it looks like Panchito, the Mexican charro rooster, and José Carioca, the Brazilian parrot have yet to find Donald Duck. Credit: DisneyThe missing animatronic has been gone for longer than any other animatronic in the Gran Fiesta Tour as of late, and it has us wondering, what is going on with Donald Duck!? In July of 2020, Jose was down for the count and couldn’t attend the final concert for a whopping 10 days. At the time, the 10-day fix seemed quite extensive for the animatronic, however, 10 days now seem like nothing. For Donald to have been missing for 17 days and counting, there may be a serious problem with the animatronic. If we compare Donald’s animatronic to the more complex ones that Disney has to offer such as Big Toe, who can be found at Na’vi River Journey in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, some would assume an animatronic such as Donald would be an easy fix. He is a very simple animatronic with quite limited movements, after all. For Disney to be taking this long to restore Donald to his attraction in EPCOT’s Mexico pavilion could mean that there are bigger issues at hand with both the animatronic and the attraction as a whole. The article is pure speculation and Disney has not released

Yesterday, Disney World made an exciting announcement regarding one popular show at Disney’s Animal Kingdom — Festival of The Lion King. Returning this summer, this fan-favorite show is making a comeback (with modifications to keep both Cast Members and Guests safe during this time), which also allows certain performers and crew members to get back to work! In case you missed it, the Walt Disney Company had to make the difficult decision to lay off tens of thousands of Cast Members across Disney Parks and Resorts in the U.S., including employees of both Disneyland in Anaheim, California, and Walt Disney World in Central Florida (Orlando). These layoffs also included a majority of the entertainment cast at the theme parks. Credit: DisneyNot long after the entertainment layoff notices went out in October, Disney released a statement saying that they will, in fact, bring back entertainment when the time is right. Additionally, in yesterday’s statement regarding the return of Festival of The Lion King, Disney shared the following: We are thrilled to be starting the process of bringing back to work more singers, dancers, technicians and other cast members, from one of the most popular shows at Walt Disney World Resort. This statement clearly shows that Disney is anticipating bringing back even more entertainment shows as well as other Cast Members in the future — but which shows could be next? Well, with The Festival of The Lion King performers being part of the Actors’ Equity Association, let’s take a
