Disney Cookie Recipe
After releasing a cookie themed wallpaper yesterday (see that jot for details), Disney released the recipe to their chocolate crinkle cookie. Featured at Epcot’s cookie stroll as part of the International Festival of the Holidays, these chocolaty confections are one of our favorites on the trail. If you don’t want to make the cookies yourself and you’re visiting Orlando, grab some at the Feast of the Three Kings Holiday Kitchen. The special event runs through December 30th, 2019.
Disney Trading Pins
Fans of Dinsey’s Trading Pins may be happy to hear there’s a new pin coming to Animal Kingdom. According to Disney, a new commemorative Animal Kingdom 2020 pin will be available after 7 pm on December 31st. Only 1000 pins were made so don’t expect them to last. The pins are being offered as part of a special pin trading day on the 31st where visitors will have one minute to trade 2 pins off of trading boards located throughout Animal Kingdom.
Fans Still Arriving Early for ROTR
It’s been a few days since Dinsey changed its queueing system for Rise of the Resistance. Instead of allowing guests to reserve a spot in a virtual line when they enter the park, visitors must now wait until the park opens at 7 am. Despite the change, park guests are still showing up as early as 5 am to get a place in line. According to reports, and our own experiences, arriving early does not increase your chances of reserving a spot over someone entering the park just before it opens.
Disney springs Getting an M&M Store
Disney Springs just announced that a new M&M’S Orlando Store is coming to Disney Springs in Orlando sometime in 2020. The shop will open on the west side of the shopping and entertainment district and feature food, merchandise, and unique experiences. For now, details are scarce, but be sure we will report them as they emerge.
SeaWorld Stock Climb
Investors in SeaWorld have had a rocky ride over the last few years. Things seems to be stabilizing, with their stock value rising 22% since October. That’s back near its peak price in July of 2019 of over $34 a share. SeaWorld still isn’t out of the woods yet. Attendance to the park is still slightly down from previous quarters.
