The refreshed marketplace concept now includes an on-stage pizza station where you can satisfy your appetite with a slice or the entire pie. There will be two new options available. A smokehouse-style pizza topped with house-smoked brisket, sausage, and pepperoni and a delicious roasted vegetable pie. And yes, classic pepperoni and cheese are still available.

Trailโ€™s End Restaurant Homestyle Meals

In addition to these tasty offerings,ย theย Market-style Selectionsย are filled with a variety of items with all the fixins to fit your fancy. Before heading back to your campsite, mosey on up to theย Hot Grab and Goย section where you can pick from the proteins. This area features pecan-smoked whole chicken or brisket, and a rack of pork ribs. And, of course, no trip to Fort Wilderness is complete without fried chicken! Sides will be available by the pound including macaroni & cheese, plant-based cowboy beans, and mashed potatoes.ย 

These arenโ€™t the only bites to be had. You can order classics like cheeseburgers, plant-based vegetable burgers, chicken nuggets, and french fries. For some comfort food, the Homestyle Meals feature cornbread, coleslaw, and mashed potatoes with gravy and your choice of half a slab of barbecued ribs or two pieces of fried chicken.

Trailโ€™s End Restaurant Strawberry Shortcake

The true star of the show is the lineup of new and returning sweets to be featured in the market, a house-made bakery. The pastry team dusted off old favorite recipes from years past like theย Banana Pudding,ย Carrot Cake Cupcake,ย Blueberry Bread Pudding, and the legendaryย Strawberry Shortcakeย from Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue, which will be available in a single-serve portion! The plant-basedย Lemon-Blueberry Trifleย is filled with layers of lemon curd, fresh blueberries, and whipped โ€˜cream.โ€™

Trailโ€™s End Restaurant new desserts

Also new, the pastry team has created some brand-new recipes that are sure to please (and become instant favorites) like the Fort Fruity Cookie featuring fruity cereal and white chocolate chips or the Peanut Butter and Jelly Cupcake. Since no camping trip is complete without roasting marshmallows over the campfire, there will be two sweets inspired by those classic flavors โ€“ the Sโ€™more Cupcake and the Sโ€™mores Cookie.

Next, letโ€™s head over to Crockettโ€™s Tavern, which has been refreshed as a lounge with expanded seating, both indoors and outside, to give you a beautiful view of Bay Lake. Conveniently located near Trailโ€™s End Restaurant, this guest favorite has been enhanced with a collection of elevated lounge-style snacks to accompany the array of new and returning beverages and specialty cocktails.

Crockettโ€™s Tavern new menu items

This reimagined menu was designed by our talented culinary team with new bites and sips paying tribute to the heritage of the resort and its inspiration from the American frontier. But donโ€™t worry, there will still be a โ€˜to-goโ€™ window for those looking for a libation or mocktail to enjoy before experiencing the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue!

If you love trying different flavors, then youโ€™re in luck because new to the menu is A Trio of Sliders. This features a pulled pork slider with BBQ sauce and coleslaw, brisket slider with Carolina BBQ and pickled onions, and a buffalo chicken slider with house-made blue cheese dressing and dill pickles served with seasoned french fries. 

The new Chicken Bites are going to satisfy you and your taste buds. Pick your favorite sauce among buffalo, garlic-parmesan, or blueberry BBQ. These bites are also served with celery, house-made ranch, blue cheese, and seasoned french fries. Fun fact โ€“ the new blueberry BBQ sauce was developed by Chef Julie Hrywnak and the culinary team. The canโ€™t-miss Charcuterie Board addition features a selection of meats and cheeses with house-made bread and butter pickles, tomato jam, cornbread crostini, and sesame lavash. 

Crockettโ€™s Tavern new plant-based offerings

Some delicious new plant-based offerings include the Crispy Cauliflower paired with a tasty garlic aรฏoli. This fan-favorite from the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue plant-based menu is also gluten/wheat friendly! Also be sure to try the plant-based fried green tomato sliders featuring a southern remoulade and citrus greens served with seasoned french fries.

Crockettโ€™s Tavern, the Trailblazin' Dessert Trio

For a sweet finish, the Trailblazinโ€™ Dessert Trio is sure to please. This delightful dish features a sโ€™more with chocolate pudding, graham cracker crumbs, and house-made marshmallow, a strawberry shortcake with strawberries and whipped cream, and a banana pudding with vanilla wafers, whipped cream, and a banana chip. 

Crockettโ€™s Tavern moonshine

For those looking for an adult beverage to accompany their meal, Crockettโ€™s Tavern has multiple options to choose from with their heritage cocktail program curated by Guest Experience Managers Hunter Bernreuter and Eric Borgsmiller to pay homage to the resortโ€™s over 50-year history. Inspired by the Fort Wilderness Railroad that once ran throughout the resort, the All Aboard!

Collage of drinks at Crockettโ€™s Tavern

The team is pleased to be serving Uncle Nearest 1884 Small Batch Whiskey, which honors the worldโ€™s first-known African American master distiller, Nearest Green. 

If youโ€™ve ever wanted to try Americaโ€™s first spirit, Lairdโ€™s Applejack Brandy, then the Camperโ€™s Coupe is for you. This sip features Lairdโ€™s Applejack Brandy, orange and lemon juices, and a hint of maple syrup.

The summer version will be a Clementine Old Fashioned with Angelโ€™s Envy Bourbon, Hella Cocktail Co. Orange Bitters, and cane syrup garnished with a clementine wheel and Luxardo cherry. This sip is a nod to Clementine Beach at the resort. 

Tequila fans will be pleased to try two beverages on the menu.

Smoked Chili Bitters, grapefruit soda, and a chili-lime rim.

Disney officials are now warning guests not to purchase event tickets from other sites. Sites like EBay and Craigslist have Oogie Boogie Bash tickets listed for hundreds of dollars. However, Disneyโ€™s event tickets cannot be transferred or resold.

โ€œTeams at the resort have an established process for investigating resold tickets, the result of which may be voided tickets where appropriate,โ€ said a Disneyland official.

A similar message is posted on the Disneyland website as well as the confirmation page when tickets are purchased.

Magic Key Holders were able to purchase tickets on June 27. Those sold out within hours. Tickets opened to the general public on June 29 but only a limited number were sold as the site has technical issues. The tickets went up for sale again on July 11 and all sold out that same day.

If you did not secure an event ticket, do not purchase from another site as there is a good chance you will be turned away at the gate.

Labels Added to Hand Dryers in Star Wars: Galaxyโ€™s Edge Following Guest Confusion. If you are heading off the planet to Batuu in Disney’s Hollywood Studios be prepared to learn a different language, or at least keep a translator aka Disney Play app handy. Aurebesh, is everywhere around Galaxy’s Edge. You can find the writing from restrooms to Smuggler’s Run.

Not that it is a hard language to learn, but some of us do not have the time to spend learning it prior to vacation. Plus who wants to learn a whole language to enjoy a vacation?

For those who visit Batuu in Disney’s Galaxy’s Edge, and who do not understand or know what a hand dryer is (Okay, seriously? Which one of you didn’t know this?), Disney has labeled them in English.

Apparently, some people were confused by the metal device that looks like a hand dryer above the sinks in the bathrooms and did not know it was a hand dryer because it was labeled in Aurebesh.

Walls Up at the Entrance of Muppet Courtyard

Walls Up at the Entrance of Muppet Courtyard. It has been a hot minute since we got a chance to see our favorite Muppets in 3D. Since last we went Disney has started construction around the small landscaped area and walls in between the Muppet Courtyard aka Grand Ave., and Baseline Tap House.

While construction is going on, the Churro stand has been moved to the opposite side of the entrance to the Muppets, furthermore, the Guest Services has been moved across the street where Max and Goofy are doing a meet and greet.

No word yet on what Disney is working on, but we would imagine it is just a refurbishment and structural work on the walls. Nothing major. The main thing is with how far out the walls are it does shrink down the area for pedestrians walking in that area, and on a crowded day, it can get some congestion heading off the planet to Batuu.

Tiny World Magic Shot Photopass Returns to Star Tours in Hollywood Studios. Disney PhotoPass Serviceโ€™sย Tiny World Magic Shots make you feel like youโ€™re on top of the world, and thereโ€™s no better fit for a photo op like that than at Star Tours in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Back in 2019 Disney Photopass 360 was available in Batuu and unfortunately, the 360 shot disappeared during the pandemic. back in June of 2021, Disney announced the return of the 360 photopass to Hollywood Studios, this time at Star Tours.

We have not seen it in action for a few months and were told it was because Photopass was hiring more and more photographers to make sure the guests could enjoy getting photo-ops from around the parks, also, we were told it depends on how hot it is and the weather.

Well, now it has returned and you should be able to capture this memory most mornings at the old Jedi Temple, in front of the massive AT-AT next to the entrance to Star Tours.
