food IS a theme park
It’s almost time for guests to take to the sky with the new Disney Skyliner Gondola System!
Skyliner Gondolas
As guests prepare to take on this new birds-eye view experience, Disney is beginning to release a few fun pieces of Skyliner merch.
It’s time for another limited time cupcake at Sprinkles!!
Circus Animal Cupcake
We have already shared all of the cupcakes debuting for the month of August — but this yummy flavor took us by surprise. It’s also making us feel super nostalgic!
has been on a roll when it comes to the release of NEW Corkcicle colors. We’ve seen the Pineapple Corkcicle (which is sadly sold out!), the Neon Pink Corkcicle, the Neon Blue Corkcicle, and now they have released the new Gun Metal Silver Corkcicle!
Gun Metal Corkcicle
And the best part about these cups? Your choice of a FREE Dole Whip Frozcato, Frosé, or Freaujolais!
There’s no better way to say “good morning” than with a grand ole’ Southern breakfast!
Homecomin’
And, whether you’re an early riser or late sleeper, you don’t have to worry about missing out on this brunch in Disney World thanks to their newly extended hours! (Extra Munching Hours, please and thank you.)
Wow! Yesterday was a fun one. Not only did Galaxy’s Edge open but the Food and Wine Festival kicked off as well! Does it get any more crazy, exciting, and wonderful? Not often!
The Tree of Life
During all the madness of yesterday, we also decided to stop by Animal Kingdom as they were offering a few SECRET menu items for Annual Passholders.
It’s Labor Day Weekend! And that means you’ve got some extra time to plan that next Disney World vacation and we’re here to help!

We’ve successfully made it through the FIRST DAY of the 2019 Epcot Food and Wine Festival!
From now through November 23rd, the Festival will offer a variety of culinary events around Walt Disney World’s Epcot. Of course, the bites and sips from the Food Booths are a festival highlight. Not sure what items to sample? Here are our Best of the Fest recommendations!
2019 Epcot Food and Wine Festival Passport
If you’re planning a visit to this year’s Festival, then you’ll want to start putting together your MUST EAT list… and that’s where we come in! The DFB Team taste-tested every item at the Festival to show you the items you can’t miss!
Are you ready? Because it’s time to DIG in!
Let’s start with warm cheese at The Alps! This one is an AJ favorite!! You guys know that I lived in Switzerland for a year, and raclette (melty raclette cheese poured over bread, boiled potatoes, gherkins, and other goodies) as a staple.
Warm Raclette Swiss Cheese
And Disney’s actually done a great job with it here! The half-wheel of raclette is melted right in the booth, and shaved off beautifully onto the veggies and bread. Pungent and delicious, this one is a must-do for my cheese-fans out there.
is serving a Spanish-style Paella with Botifarra and Roasted Chicken with a little bit of heat! Flavorful and cooked to perfection!!
Spanish-style Paella with Botifarra and Roasted Chicken
If you’re looking for a larger portion, this is a great buy.
For Islands of the Caribbean, Jerk-spiced Chicken with Roasted Sweet Plantain Salad and Mango Chutney Yogurt is a stand-out!
Jerk-spiced Chicken with Roasted Sweet Plantain Salad and Mango Chutney Yogurt
While this dish hasn’t wowed us in previous years, this time around the chicken is cooked on an outdoor grill! You WILL taste the difference. It was a DFB team favorite!
For a refreshing beverage, stop by Joffrey’s for a Citrus Sunshine in Canada. Opt for this drink over the Aulani Sunrise at Hawai’i.

At the Odyssey cart by Joffrey’s, we like the Chai-quila.

At Australia, the Roasted Lamb Chop had great flavors. It’s a twist on the lamb chops of the past at this booth and we loved the update.
Roasted Lamb Chop with Sweet Potato Puree
For a not-too-sweet dessert, one member of the DFB team really enjoyed the lightness of this option.
Deconstructed Pavlova
The Spicy Hummus Fries at Morocco were delicious, as always, even with the sauce update — we needed more sauce, though!
Spicy Hummus Fries
The flatbread (it was a taco) had a really good kick to it!
NY Strip Steak Green Shermoula Flatbread
Let’s look at two returning favorites. First, The Cheese Studio is worth a visit for the Maple Bourbon Boursin Cheesecake.
Maple Bourbon Boursin Cheesecake
This creamy, decadent treat is made better-than-your-usual-cheesecake (and that’s saying something!!) thanks to that hint of bourbon in the caramel sauce.
BUT, the Sparkling Blueberry Wine by Florida Orange Groves Winery wowed us again! [Read more…]
We stopped by Oga’s Cantina this evening to give a few more drinks a try before wrapping up our Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Opening Day adventures!
Oga’s Cantina
While we were there, we started chatting with a few Cast Members to find that Oga’s Cantina has a huge, crazy, massively insane SECRET MENU ITEM!
Disneyland
makes us “un poco loco!”
Plaza de la Familia ©Disney
We’re super excited that one of our favorite celebrations — Plaza de la Familia is returning to Disney California Adventure!! After how popular the Coco-inspired fiesta was back in 2017, it’s no surprise that it’s returning, singing “Recuérdame” for all to hear.
