New Disney World Discount for Guests that Booked Free Dining

Disney recently began canceling all Walt Disney World dining reservations, FastPass+ reservations, experience reservations, and Disney Dining Plans through the end of 2020. Guests who had booked their vacation package with a Free Dining Plan are receiving emails informing them of a new discount available to them.

A portion of the email reads:

“We will be modifying your package to remove the dining plan. As an accommodation, the price of the package will be adjusted to reflect a 35% savings on the room portion. This modified package and price will be provided in a new confirmation. You will receive a refund of the difference in the package price if you have already paid in full or a reduction in amount due if you have not yet made final payment.

There’s nothing you need to do at this time. We will be contacting you shortly with more details about the process to secure new reservations, including our new dining and experience reservation window which will accommodate selections up to 60 days prior to arrival to allow for planning closer to your visit.

At this time, while systems update, we are temporarily suspending all modifications. However, you have the option of canceling your entire reservation at any time.”

All of the cancelations are due to new capacity limits Disney World will be putting in place when the parks reopen next month.

Maple Bacon Chocolate-Chip Cookie Dough: Two Delicious Favorites, One Treat

bacon cookie dough disney springs

I was walking around Disney Springs minding my own business when a sign caught my eye.  Maple Bacon Chocolate-Chip Cookie Dough!

This dessert is just what it sounds like; a scoop of refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough topped with sweet, chewy bacon.  It was an interesting combination.  The flavors all stayed on the sweeter side due to the bacon being candied.  The cookie dough was cool and creamy.

This is currently the only cookie dough option at Disney Springs with the food truck section remaining closed.  The Candied Bacon Chocolate Chip-Cookie Dough can be found at B.B. Wolf’s across from the Lego Store on the bridge at Disney Springs.  This is an unusual offering for this stand that usually features sausage sandwiches, etc.

The bacon and cookie dough combo costs $4.49.  It is one of the smaller portions found on Disney property.

Are you drooling yet? What do you think?  Do bacon and cookie dough make a delicious combination? We will let you be the judge!

J.K. Simmons Under Contract to Return in Future Spider-Man Films as J.Jonah Jameson

J.K. Simmons Under Contract to Return in Future Spider-Man Films as J. Jonah Jameson. Recently, J.K. Simmons spoke with PeopleTV about his reappearance as J. Jonah Jameson at the end of Spider-Man: Far From Home and if fans can expect to see him in the next Spider-Man film.

“I don’t know if I would use the word expect,” Simmons replied. “When we signed on for the first movie we signed a contract to do two sequels as well. Which, that’s always a one-sided, well not always but in my case, a one-sided contract where you’re committed to do it, but they’re not necessarily committed to use your character in the ensuing movies. It was great to have the opportunity as these things evolve to be one of the holdovers from the previous version.”

To keep interest in the franchise going and to celebrate the release of Spider-Man: Far From Home on Digital and with the DVD/Blu-ray, Sony Pictures created a “real life” The Daily Bugle, in the form of an online network called: thedailybugle.net. The fully functioning website shares a special video from none other than J. Jonah Jameson himself, J.K. Simmons, sharing his take on Spider-Man and Mysterio.

The website also features stories based on the incidents in Spider-Man: Far From Home, including articles about Night Monkey, the missing Hydro-Man, and even the recent “raid” on Area 51. (Yes, really)

J. K. Simmons reprised his role as J. Jonah Jameson from the original Spider-Man trilogy starring Toby Maguire and Kristen Dunst for Spider-Man: Far From Home and appeared at the end of the film to tell the world a great BIG twisted secret. The identity of Spider-Man!

You can check out the intro video of J. Jonah Jameson’s first installment on thedailybugle.net below:

We can’t wait to see more of J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson in future Spider-Man films! Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co. for all things Marvel.

Epcot’s World Showcase May be Staffed Without Cultural Representatives

It’s being reported that World Showcase in Epcot may be temporarily staffed without cultural representatives when the park first opens. Walt Disney World and Unite Here Local 362 signed a memorandum that addresses how Disney may handle staffing at World Showcase.

The agreement between Walt Disney World and the union covered particular issues such as the order of staff recall and scheduling. Most interestingly, the agreement states that, until Disney is able to resume normal staffing,

Cast Members who “do not meet the culturally authentic theming at EPCOT may be temporarily assigned to work in positions which are otherwise reserved for Cultural Representatives.”

Walt Disney World suspended its Cultural Representative program shortly after the parks closed and had those Cast Members return to their home countries. Due to current travel restrictions, it may be difficult for Cultural Representatives to return to Central Florida.

Epcot is scheduled to reopen on July 15, 2020, along with Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
