food IS a theme park
We spotted some must-have, too-cute, OMG look-at-this merchandise in Hollywood Studios this weekend! In fact, you’ll get *stuck* on this merchandise because it is a new line of magnets and sticky notes! #dadjoke 😀
Disney Snacks Sticky Notes
Of course, the first item we were drawn to was the Disney Snacks sticky notes — this is perfect for notes for the kiddos in their lunches, or makes everyday work reminders a little more fun.
That was fast!
It was just last week we updated you on the status of what we could see of the construction going on at Hollywood Studios’ Chinese Theater as it becomes home to a new ride! Now, just four short days later, the construction walls are down around the Chinese Theater!
Hollywood Studios’ Chinese Theater Construction Progress
In 2019 the Chinese Theater will be home to a brand new ride, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. We don’t know an exact opening date yet, just sometime in 2019. [Read more…]
You may already be familiar with — or perhaps have even attended — Disney After Hours in Magic Kingdom. This extra-ticket event takes place for three hours after park close on select nights, and the limited guest access means little-to-no-wait for popular attractions (with event guests allowed to enter the park as early as 7 PM). The event also includes snacks like ice cream novelties, popcorn, and select beverages.
Cinderella Castle at Night
Disney has revealed today that not only are more dates being added for After Hours for Magic Kingdom, but Disney After Hours is also being expanded to Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios!
Disney After Hours at Animal Kingdom will offer access to the Tree of Life Awakenings, Pandora attractions, and more. Select Counter Service locations will remain open throughout the night. [Read more…]
The Spring Roll Cart in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland has delivered an unexpected variety of Spring Rolls this year! First, there was the return of the Cheeseburger Spring Rolls. Next, Reuben Springs Rolls hit the scene. And now?

Well, except when they aren’t in the house… as was the case the first time we went to try them. They were all sold out within the noon hour. [Read more…]
Hey, there! We’re back with another DFB Video today, and we’re talking about how hidden Disney holidays can affect your trip!
How might a Park Anniversary play into your vacation?
Clearly, we’re already kicking off the holiday season in Disney World… Christmas trees, garlands, and wreaths can suddenly been seen in various corners throughout the Resort. (Magic Kingdom is already decorated!) But what about hidden Disney holidays? I mean, sure, you’ve heard of Halloween, but have you heard of Dapper Days? How about the four theme park anniversaries? And what takes place the day after the Super Bowl? We’re talking about the Hidden Calendar of Disney World, and how these events may affect your Disney World vacation! [Read more…]
If you’ve been keeping tabs on ALL the Holiday-themed goodies coming to Disneyland Resort for the season, then you know there is all sorts of merry snacking on the way! And with all the specialty snacks coming to Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure PLUS all of the eats and drinks for the Festival of Holidays, how can you possibly keep track of everything you’d like to try?
Festival of Holidays

Since so many DFB readers found our Printable Snack Checklist for Halloween Time in Disneyland to be helpful, we’ve got three here for you for the Holidays at Disneyland Resort! [Read more…]
Epcot’s World Showcase at Walt Disney World
is home to so many interesting restaurants serving high-quality food from around the (actual) world that it can be hard to decide which to choose.
And frankly, Nine Dragons in the China Pavilion has been one that we’ve decided to skip much of the time. The setting is lovely and worth exploring, but in the past, the food has been lackluster, no better than most of the Americanized Chinese restaurants found in strip malls around the country.
But we give second chances (and third and fourth and fifth) here at the DFB, so I made a reservation and hoped for something to love in this table service spot. And while I won’t say Nine Dragons has clawed its way up too far in the rankings of table service restaurants at Epcot, I will say that my most recent visit was the best I’ve had here.
While I encourage you to take that with a grain of salt, I also want to acknowledge that plenty of you do enjoy eating here, and I will always cling to optimism that even the least palatable of Walt Disney World dining locations will be in a constant state of flux, striving for better.
But let’s start with what we already love about Nine Dragons: its magical decor and warm atmosphere.
Welcome to Nine Dragons!
Just when we thought Disney’s Animal Kingdom might be going straight from Halloween to Christmas, they surprised us with a new cupcake perfect for the time in between the spooky season and the holiday season.

The very first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party of the season kicks off on November 8, 2018 in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. And one of the of things we look forward to the most at this extra-ticket event are the Party-exclusive treats available for guests to purchase!
