In an exclusive interview with People, Jude Law teased some Easter eggs that fans can expect in the long-awaited Disney+ series “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew.”

‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’

It’s been a long time since we’ve heard anything about “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew.” In April, the first footage from the series premiered at Star Wars Celebration in London. Since then, there has been no new information until now.

In the exclusive interview with People, Jude Law discussed the upcoming project and what fans can expect when it is released.

Law, who will play Jod Na Nawood in the coming-of-age series set in the same New Republic era as “The Mandalorian,” described the series as “joyful.” He also promises plenty of “Star Wars” Easter eggs.

It is a fun place to be, the universe of “Star Wars.” And there are great references to old films and recent episodes and series. There’s a lot of originality and I hope that will bring the feeling of fun to those who watch it. If you look carefully, [we] got some “Star Wars” tech that dates right back, I believe, to the original film. They do [Easter eggs] so well. That’s one of the joys I think of this universe for those who know there are these little details always hidden away or Easter eggs that people can find and link up.

The plethora of Easter eggs was backed by series co-creator Jon Watts who said:

Even in the first episode, there’s a couple really, really great references that certain fans will immediately recognize.

But Watts and co-creator Christopher Ford also wanted to find some deeper cuts for fans, and they promise that more challenging references will be hidden throughout the series.

Nick Frost (“Shaun of the Dead”), a newly announced addition to the cast, will play a new droid named SM 33. Watts describes the droid as “a rusty old, cranky droid that sort of reluctantly helps the kids along the way.” He also happens to be the first mate of a mysterious ship.

The series is now scheduled to premiere on December 3, 2024 on Disney+. Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, the Oscar-winning directors of “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” have directed one episode. The series is said to be an Amblin-like coming-of-age adventure.

Hello, we are DFB, and we LOVE food. Specifically, we love Disney food. And we have a lot of favorites, but beignets have to be near the top of that list.

And because we love beignets so much, it’s vital for us to know exactly where to find these indulgent pastries. And because we love our readers just as much as we love our food, we are sharing that list with YOU!

We are SO ready for the Disney Treasure to set sail! Aren’t you?!

Listen, we’re stoked about this brand-new ship that’s coming to the Disney Cruise Line fleet. We just can’t wait to experience everything like the Haunted Mansion Parlor, Jungle Cruise-inspired bar, and Aristocats-themed lounge just to name a few. But before we go and get too excited, we’ve got to talk about booking our trip so that we can make sure we’ll be able to book the stateroom we want. To that point, let’s break down which staterooms are selling out the fastest on the Disney Treasure so you don’t miss out!

Just in case you didn’t know, aboard the Disney Treasure there are four (4) stateroom types: Inside, Oceanview, Verandah, and Concierge (they go from least expensive to most expensive in that order),

During its inaugural season, the Treasure will offer seven-night sailings (7) to the Eastern and Western Caribbean. There are stops at Castaway Cay starting on December 21st, 2024. Bookings are available now through early 2026.

Now, we’ve taken the time to dive into each and every one of the itineraries currently listed so that we can give you a heads-up on which staterooms are selling out the fastest and on which particular dates.

As we said earlier, there are currently sailings starting on December 21st, 2024 all the way through June 6th, 2026. We found 11 dates (as of right now) that have staterooms that are sold out. Here they are and which staterooms are unavailable:

• December 21 – 28, 2024 (Inside and Oceanview — Sold out)
• January 11 – 18, 2025 (Inside, Verandah, and Concierge — Sold out)
• January 25 – February 1, 2025 (Inside — Sold out)
• February 1 – 8, 2025 (Concierge — Sold out)
• February 15 – 22, 2025 (Verandah and Concierge — Sold out)
• February 22 – March 1, 2025 (Concierge — Sold out)
• March 1 – 8, 2025 (Concierge — Sold out)
• April 26 – May 3, 2025 (Concierge — Sold out)
• May 17 – 24, 2025 (Inside and Oceanview — Sold out)
• May 31 – June 7, 2025 (Concierge — Sold out)
• June 7 – 14, 2025 (Concierge — Sold out)
• September 6 – 13, 2025 (Inside — Sold out)

At the moment, that means that the “Concierge” staterooms are the fastest to sell out on the Treasure since there are 8 sailings where they are sold out. The next fastest to sell out are the “Inside” staterooms with 5 total itineraries sold out.

As always, if you’re looking to book a sailing, we recommend doing so as soon as possible and it doesn’t hurt booking out as far as you can as well.

On your marks, get set, runDisney!

You can take part in numerous runDisney events throughout the year, but right now we are gearing up for the next race weekend, the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend which is coming up in just a few months. Ahead of the event, we just got a sneak peek at the medals that will be given out to finishers!

We got a sneak peek at the medals for the 2024 Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend, and we think we might just be in love! The Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend is taking place from October 31st through November 3rd, 2024. The weekend consists of three different races: a 5K, a 10K, and a half marathon.

Unfortunately, all of the races are currently sold out, but you can also participate in the festivities by purchasing a ticket to the post-race party which is held in EPCOT (no medals included though). If you are participating in the races, or just like looking at shiny things, we have a sneak peek at this year’s medals for you!

 

Starting off with the medal for the 5K race featuring the Swedish Chef. There will be lots of Muppet-y fun to be had during the 3.1-mile race and the cherry on top is that you get to celebrate with this medal.

Next up is the 10K medal featuring Tiana! This medal is gorgeous and we are already feeling hungry just looking at the plate of beignets she is carrying. This medal will help celebrate the completion of a 6.2-mile race in style. 

The half marathon race is going to be hosted by Chef Remy and Linguini, and the medal is the perfect way to celebrate the completion of this 13.1-mile race. Chef Remy is front and center on this medal and we think it is absolutely adorable! Plus, this year celebrates 15 years of the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend.

The last medal that is available during the weekend is this two course challenge medal. This medal can be earned by completing BOTH the 10K and half marathon race. You will be able to celebrate with Tiana, Remy, and Mickey Mouse with this special spinning finisher medal. The two course challenge means you have run a total of 19.3-miles!

We are loving the medals for this year’s event and we are cheering on everyone who is running in the races. Stay tuned to DFB for all your Disney World news!

Are you ready to plan your vacation for…2033?!

Believe it or not, one travel giant is already focused that far into the future — and it’s all because they’ll be undergoing a major expansion over the next decade! If you’re not already a fan of cruises, we think this latest announcement from Carnival might just change your mind.

Get ready for NEW cruises from Carnival! According to the Orlando Business Journal, Carnival Cruise Line is introducing a new class of ships — to be delivered in 2029, 2031, and 2033.

“We are doubling down on the growth of Carnival Cruise Line – our highest-returning brand – to keep up with the incredibly strong demand we continue to see for the world’s most popular cruise line,” CEO of Carnival Corp., Josh Weinstein said. “We continue to take a disciplined approach to growth, strategically directing new capacity to the areas of highest demand at a rate of one to two new ships per year.”

This expansion will allow Carnival to increase overall capacity by around 1.5% annually from 2025 to 2033. The new class will weigh nearly 230,000 gross tons with over 3,000 guest rooms that can carry nearly 8,000 passengers. Further design details and itineraries will be announced in the future!

Once the ship order is fully delivered in 2033, Carnival will have 16 liquefied natural gas vessels, making up almost 30% of the global fleet. We can’t wait to see what Carnival has in store!

In the meantime, don’t forget to stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for the latest cruise, travel, and Disney news!

A new black EPCOT logo ball cap is now available for purchase at the park, matching previously released 2019 logo merchandise.

We found this ball cap at Creations Shop in EPCOT.

EPCOT Logo Ball Cap – $29.99

This is an all-over black ball cap with white embroidered stitching.

The stitching says “EPCOT” in the new iteration of the park’s logo.

A small white and black EPCOT logo is on the back of the hat. The hat also has an adjustable velcro strap.

The EPCOT logo merchandise was originally released alongside the reveal of the new EPCOT logo and the opening of Walt Disney Imagineering presents the EPCOT Experience, which teased what was to come for the park’s reimagining. See the other recently restocked items in this collection.
