food IS a theme park
We love when new frozen treats make their way into the parks, especially when the inevitable summer heat is drawing near.

So, we were really jazzed when we found a new frozen treat option in Disney California Adventure made from one of our favorite candies!
The heat is on in central Florida, where summer comes early and stays late, but if you’re at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Pineapple Lanai is the place to go to stay cool. That’s because you’ll find Dole Whip here year-round — including two recent additions: Lime and Lemon. We turned these into a sweet swirl with a Dole Whip hack a couple weeks ago, and now… there’s MORE!
Raspberry Dole Whip has arrived at Pineapple Lanai! And it gets better: guests can swirl it with lime for what’s angling to be the most refreshing frozen treat in the World!

Our pal Kristen from WDWforGrownups.com gave us a peek at this treat, and let’s just say, we need to get our hot little hands on it ASAP! [Read more…]

We’ve been covering everything from Galaxy’s Edge menu options to merchandise and ride facts, and we thought we’d knew just what to expect on the planet of Batuu. But then we heard about this…
All-Star Movies seems to be rolling out lots of delicious snack options lately. I mean we literally just reviewed a SUPER yummy Peaches and Cream cupcake that happens to be the perfect summer treat.
Key Lime Cheesecake
And now, we’ve tried the NEW Key Lime Cheesecake treat as well! We’ve seen cheesecakes like this before, but this one seems to be a little different.
Okay, my fellow cupcake lovers. If you know us you know we love tasting and reviewing our way through all that Disney has to offer…but we always seem to get really excited when we find new cupcake options.
From the new Imagination Pink cupcake to the new bird cupcake at Animal Kingdom, we’ve really been getting our fill of icing lately. (But it’s never enough.)
Peaches and Cream Cupcake
And today we found another new cupcake we’re super excited about! And that icing happened to be the best part! (:
When Walt Disney World first announced a forthcoming option for guests and Annual Passholders to upgrade their MagicBands, we heard from a ton of DFB readers and followers who couldn’t wait to partake in this fun, personalized option.
But since the bands became available to order on Monday (see the announcement here!), we’ve heard a lot more about glitches than successes.

If you’re one of the many who attempted to order a Disney icon, character, or snack MagicBand and met with limited (if any!) success, you’re not alone! [Read more…]
This year marks the 25th Anniversary of “The Lion King” (and the live-action version of the film will make its debut in July!). And to celebrate, Disney’s Animal Kingdom is rolling out all the snacks — I mean, all the stops! — with a variety of treats available starting May 24th which will be available through the end of the summer!

Welcome to another What’s New from Walt Disney World’s Epcot! We’ll be strolling through Future World and World Showcase to give you a look at construction, merchandise, and FOOD! Grab your passport, and let’s stroll!

One question I am often asked is, “AJ, what do you eat in the parks when you aren’t gathering info for DFB readers?” My answer? Well, I have several favorites. And for years, one of them has been the Frangipane at Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie in Epcot’s France Pavilion.
Frangipane
Pictured above you’ll see the classic version I’ve loved ever since the first time I tried it. And I know what you’re thinking: “What’s the big deal?” But there’s always been more to this deceptively simple pastry than meets the eye.
As it turns out, though… my beloved Frangipane has been changed. The menu will still tell you that the Frangipane ($4.50 or a Disney Dining Plan snack credit) is an “almond filling between puff pastry.” [Read more…]
The next time you’re in Disneyland Resort’s Downtown Disney District, be sure to stop by the new Sugarboo & Co.!
