food IS a theme park
Each week, we scour Amazon to find the latest Disney merchandise and steepest Disney deals the massive e-tailer has to offer.

From Loungeflys and home goods to decorations and clothing, this week featured Disney items for every member of the family. And get this, all of the items below are at the LOWEST prices we’ve seen in 30 days.
It’s August, which means it’s practically fall…at least in Disney World. The first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween party will be starting soon, and we’ll all be eating and drinking pumpkin and apple cider flavored food and drinks.
New Starbucks collection!
Does it feel like fall? Nope, it’s SOOOOO hot. But we think Starbucks is trying to make fall come a little early this year, ahead of the annual arrival of the Pumpkin Spice Latte. That’s because we just spotted a new fall-themed Starbucks collection in Disney World — and you HAVE to see it.
Dining at Disney World is an experience that guests need to have when they visit the park!
Old Key West
We recently stopped by Olivia’s Cafe at Old Key West Resort, a popular spot for brunch and dinner. What did we think? We’re giving you our full review here.
You think you’re getting exactly what you ordered on Amazon—but that’s not always the case.

You may not realize that the item you’re buying on Amazon might not actually come from the seller listed on the product page. In fact, Amazon uses a system that allows products from different third-party sellers to get tossed into the same inventory pile—regardless of who you clicked “Buy” from. It’s called “commingling,” and it’s one of those behind-the-scenes things we wish more people knew about. So here’s what that means for your next purchase (and why it might not be what you think you’re getting).
Disney World is, apparently, in its construction era. In Magic Kingdom, one ride is currently closed for a big refurbishment, while another one will close soon for its own update while a new expansion AND a new land are being built. In Disney’s Animal Kingdom, a whole new land is being constructed. In Disney’s Hollywood Studios, an entire part of the park is being reimagined while a new land is also under construction.
Pop Century
That construction also extends to Disney World hotels, including one of its most popular resorts. Disney’s Pop Century Resort is getting its rooms refurbished, but Disney also recently announced that the hotel is getting some work done on its lobby!
One Disney World restaurant has been closed for a while now, and we’re wondering what’s going on!
Tomorrowland Terrace seating
Over the years, we’ve seen quite a few Disney World restaurants shut down, but often, they’re quickly replaced with something new and fresh. Of course, after the pandemic in 2020, some restaurants never reopened or returned to their original form, without any kind of explanation. And today, we’re here to discuss one that’s still confusing us — Tomorrowland Terrace!
I’ve been going to Disney World for 25 years, and this one thing will be a game-changer for your next day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Fantasmic! Billboard
I’ve rope-dropped Tower of Terror more times than I can count, eaten my weight in Carrot Cake Cookies from Trolley Car Café, and yes, I remember when The Great Movie Ride was the beating heart of the park. Hollywood Studios has always held a special kind of magic for me. It’s a park that blends thrills, nostalgia, and making magic come to life in a way that hits just right. And while there’s plenty to love, from Galaxy’s Edge to Slinky Dog Dash, there’s one decision I never second-guess: booking the Fantasmic! Dining Package.
Something HUGE is happening soon: Disney Adults: Exploring (And Falling In Love With) A Magical Subculture by our very own AJ Wolfe is releasing on August 5th!
Disney Adults Wild Rosy
If you’ll be in Orlando this week, you can even attend the book launch event and meet AJ to learn more about the book. However, you can also pre-order it online RIGHT NOW. But if you’re in Disney World, you’ll want to check out the very special Disney Adults Crawl, featuring eight EXCLUSIVE Disney Adults beverages in Disney Springs and EPCOT. Well, we headed to Raglan Road in Disney Springs to try one of those drinks for ourselves, so let’s see what we thought!
We always make a beeline for Disney Springs at the start of a new month. And if you have a sweet tooth, you might want to join us!
Gideon’s Case
When it comes to sweet treats in Disney World, Gideon’s Bakehouse is one of our go-tos! The popular Disney Springs spot is known for its MASSIVE, fully loaded cookies, cake slices, and specialty coffees. And, as if this place wasn’t already enough of a dessert lover’s paradise, on top of their regular menu of classic favorites, they also regularly drop seasonal flavors that you can only snag for a limited time.
It’s a huge week for DFB and our founder, AJ Wolfe! That’s because AJ’s first book, Disney Adults: Exploring (And Falling In Love With) A Magical Subculture is releasing on August 5th — and that’s SOON.
‘Disney Adults’ by AJ Wolfe
Now, you have a chance to meet AJ in person if you happen to be in the Orlando area on August 4th (you can get details here), but you can also celebrate the book’s release by visiting Disney World and checking out the exclusive treats in the Disney Adults Crawl at select restaurants in Disney Springs and EPCOT. However, ahead of the book’s release, we’ve got BIG news: Disney Adults has made Amazon’s list of Best Books of the Month!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
