food IS a theme park
Stop what you’re doing because we’ve got some HOT souvenirs for you!
Loungefly Wall
Several new Loungefly bags dropped online recently, and if we know our readers like we think we do, you guys love Loungeflys. Let’s see what’s new on the digital shelf so you can start shopping for your next Disney trip!
We’ve seen some pretty long lines in Disney World, and they’re usually for rides like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT and Rise of the Resistance in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. But today, one of the longest lines in Disney World isn’t even in the theme parks!
World of Disney
So we recently told you about a MAJOR drop happening at World of Disney for the newest Lorcana set, Hyperia City. Well, let’s just say that the line to buy the set at World of Disney in Disney Springs is pretty long right now.
We’ve already started planning our Disney World trips for 2027, and it’s time to get those calendars out again, because a beloved event is returning next year!
Banana Ball crowd!
If you’ve been following the Disney Food Blog for a while, you know how much we love the Savanah Bananas (Jackson Olsen is basically AJ’s little brother), so you can imagine how much we freaked out when we heard that Banana Ball is returning to Disney World in 2027. Who’s ready for some more Banana Ball?! That’s rhetorical — we know you are!
Heads up Disney+ Subscribers, if you’ve been finding yourself lying on the couch lamenting that you have nothing to watch (GUILTY!), that’s likely about to change!

November is set to bring a litany of content to Disney’s streaming platform, ranging across genres with an emphasis on Holiday offerings, and we’ve gathered it all in one place. (Don’t worry, bundle subscribers, we haven’t forgotten you! Hulu premieres are here as well!)
Park icons like Cinderella Castle in Disney World or Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland are, well, iconic! Looking at them just fills you with Disney magic!
Our mini Sleeping Beauty Castle!
If you’ve ever wanted to shrink down Spaceship Earth or Pixar Pal-A-Round to fit into your pocket, now you can! Well — sort of. Now, you can get a super cute blind box figurine of park icons with adorable smiling faces!
Here at DFB, we have a Friday tradition we lovingly refer to as Furr-idays.
Binx and his banshee
On Fridays, I prompt everyone on the team to share a recent photo of their furbabies, and we “ooh” and “aah” over each and every one (or laugh, depending on what they’re up to in said photo). It’s a great way to get into the weekend spirit, but also gives us a chance to bond as a team over our love of animals. And, as you may have suspected, these furbabies really are our bosses, so I’d like to introduce some of them to you.
Southwest Airlines has been in the news a LOT recently in the past year or so, and not always for the best reasons. We’re warning you now — there’s ANOTHER change hitting this airline, but you may be happier with this one than some of the others.
Southwest Airlines at MCO
Earlier this year, it was announced that new Southwest lounges are on the way, which is great for customers who stayed loyal to them throughout the controversial changes that came before, which consisted of changing their open seating policy and getting rid of free checked bags. This new update, however, is more of a positive one, depending on how you look at it — Southwest Airlines is completely revamping their Rapid Rewards membership.
Disney World is already making plans for 2027, and one of our favorite EPCOT festivals is getting some BIG changes! The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is returning in 2027, bringing back the incredible food, Disney artwork, Broadway performances, and interactive experiences that have made this festival a favorite among Disney fans.
Festival of the Arts!
While we’re still waiting for the full menus and entertainment schedules, Disney has confirmed some interesting changes for next year’s event. One gives us MORE time to enjoy the festival, another puts a popular Disney trading card game in the spotlight, and the third makes us ask questions about our beloved Food Studios. Let’s take a look at what’s changing!

We’ve got the inside scoop on the restaurants, the lounges, the suites, and the BRAND NEW show — all coming to the Disney Believe.
We talk a lot about how rainy spring and summer are in Disney World, and how it’s always important to bring a poncho, an umbrella, or both to keep yourself dry. Well, we hope you haven’t packed those away just yet, because you’re about to need them BIG TIME for this winter.
Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom
El Niño is a weather event that happens every two to seven years, and has to do with weather patterns that have happened throughout the rest of the year. This year, we’re looking at an El Niño weather event that will absolutely affect the United States between December 2026 to February 2027, and it’s looking like it’s about to be a lot rainier than usual.
