food IS a theme park
You may not be flying to Disney World this year due to the current health situation. So, if you’re hopping in the car to head to Disney World we have a few fun things to help keep the kiddos entertained!
Disney’s Minnie Vans Service
Although sitting in a car for a few hours (or more!) might seem boring, you don’t need Fairy Godmother’s wand to make your road trip magical!
Now that EPCOT is open, that means we’ve been spending all our time exploring a newly re-opened park (and waving hello to Pooh and his sweet butterfly net)!
Morocco Pavilion
Disney has put multiple health and safety regulations in place to keep guests and Cast Members safe during this time. While we’ve experienced temperature checks, hand sanitizer stations, and more around the parks, everyone is also required to wear face masks whenever they’re on property.
Although we’ve been grabbing as many Dole Whips and Mickey Pretzels (with plastic cheese, of course) as possible since we’ve been back to Disney World, there have been quite a few menu changes in the parks during the re-openings.
Magic Kingdom
While multiple menu items are available for guests to snack on again, we were SO sad to see treats like the Kakamora Float, I Lava You Float, and Peter Pan Float disappear from Disney World for the time being. And we’ve missed them tremendously!
Since we’ve been back in a newly re-opened EPCOT, we’ve spotted Anna and Elsa out in the Character Cavalcades, gone to the Relaxation Station at Akershus, and hopped back on Frozen Ever After back-to-back.
Norway Troll
Speaking of, while it’s well worth making a visit to the Norway Pavilion to visit Arendelle with Anna and Elsa, there’s a new pair of Mickey ears that will have you running that way! [Read more…]
Oh, hi. 👋 Did you know there’s HOCUS POCUS COOKIE DOUGH???!??!?

Yeah, we’ve seen Hocus Pocus EVERYTHING the last few Halloween seasons, and we’re even seeing these witchy sisters pop up already this year (check out this super cute mug!). But we’re so excited to share that NOW, my friends, it’s time to REALLY take your Hocus Pocus celebration to the KITCHEN! (FYI, we heard about these cookies from an awesome reader, but thanks to @candyhunting on insta we know that the original spotter of these goodies was @tamisclock!)
Downtown Disney has re-opened to guests so they can visit their favorite stores and restaurants in the district!
Downtown Disney!
Although we’ve been happy to dine at spots like Tortilla Jo’s and shop at the World of Disney for new face masks, due to Disneyland’s delayed reopening we haven’t yet been able to visit their parks and resorts. And while reservations had originally been available for select Disneyland hotels in August, it now looks like we might have to wait a little while longer before we will be able to visit!
Although we’ve been seeing our favorite characters in the parks since Disney World re-opened, we are SO hyped that the Muppets have returned to Disney+!

Now that “Muppets Now” is on the streaming service, you can catch up with Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the rest of the gang during their wacky adventures with celebrity guests.
Hurricane Isaias continues on its path toward the Florida coast.

We’re received more updates about this hurricane from the 2:00PM advisory and are sharing them with you so you can stay up to date and be prepared.
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
And, we’ve got plenty of merchandise, food, and construction updates to share with you, so let’s dive right on in!
Disney World and Disneyland have LOTS of construction planned for multiple attractions and experiences around the parks over the next few years (we can’t wait to see the new The Princess and the Frog ride).
Rey and Chewbacca
Construction has just started to pick up in the parks after the closures, with other projects being postponed until later dates. However, Disney continues to be one step ahead in planning the next big thing coming to the parks. And, there might be an entirely new line of space cocktails that could come with the creation of Disney’s next bar!
