food IS a theme park
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!
Tropical Serenade Churro
Deviled eggs ice cream? A good churro in Magic Kingdom?? $150 for a t-shirt?? Disney World are you okay?
Here at Disney Food Blog, we love trying new food, if that wasn’t already obvious by our name.
Trying new food is our favorite thing!
We recently tried the completely REVAMPED menu at 50’s Prime Time Cafe in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, a Supernova Pretzel from the Tomorrowland Pretzel Cart in Disneyland, and seven new snacks and treats from all over Disneyland that arrived for the summer. And today, we’re heading to Disney California Adventure to try another dish!
Although many Disney World experiences have returned to normal since the parks reopened, not everything has come back.
Main Street Train Station at Magic Kingdom
Guests have been missing the Walt Disney World Railroad in Magic Kingdom since it was forced to close due to construction on TRON: Lightcycle Run ride back in 2018. Of course, construction was delayed because of the park closures, but slowly the TRON ride has been coming together. And we’ve seen some updates on the train too, including some railroad testing taking place! So what’s going on with the Walt Disney World Railroad now, and when will it open? Here’s what we know.
Bob Chapek, the CEO of Disney, has been at the center of a lot of news lately.
Disney CEO Bob Chapek in Disney World on its 50th Anniversary
In the past few months, Chapek has been involved in the controversy surrounding Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Bill, which critics have called the “Don’t Say Gay Bill”, a decrease in Disney’s stock value, and the firing of a top Disney executive. However, it seems that CEO Bob Chapek isn’t going anywhere in the near future.
To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.
COVID-19 regulations have continued to change, both at the Disney parks and throughout the world. Currently, face masks are not required anywhere in Disney World, except inside First Aid stations. The Disney Cruise Line has also updated its policy, although the cruises still require passengers to show proof of vaccination and a negative COVID-19 test before boarding.
Travel requirements are changing
Requirements are changing on a broader scale as well. For example, masks are no longer required on some airlines or in certain airports. Now, the Biden administration has made another major change to COVID-19 requirements, this one having to do with international travel. [Read more…]
Disney sells a TON of merchandise!
There’s SO much popular merchandise!
Whether its Minnie ears, Loungefly backpacks, limited edition collections, or Starbucks tumblers, the stores in the theme parks are filled to the brim with hundreds, nay, THOUSANDS of souvenirs. However, you don’t have to spend the big bucks to visit the parks to buy many of those things — you can order them online! And this week, Disney dropped a BUNCH of new merchandise online that we want to share with you.
Sometimes our favorite snacks disappear from the menus in Disney World and there’s nothing we can do about it.
We miss you, Kakamora Float
This has happened to us with the Citrus Swirl, the Kakamora Float, the Monte Cristo Sandwich, and more. It can be due to supply issues or for reasons unknown, but it’s definitely a sad day when snacks that we love aren’t around anymore. However, that just makes it SO MUCH SWEETER when they return — and one of our favorite desserts has shown up again in Disney World!
Disney has been killing it with the Star Wars merch lately!
There are three new ‘Star Wars’ Been There mugs!
We just spotted these Fuzzy Ewok Minnie Ears in Disney World, a ton of new collectibles online including Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Lightsaber, and these super popular Starbucks Been There Series Mugs that sold out super fast online! If you missed out on those Starbucks mugs, then you’re in luck, because they just restocked!
We love many things here at DFB, but one of them is FOOD!
Look at all those goodies!
We’ve already seen new treats in the parks for summer, to celebrate Pride Month, and some limited-time eats! If you’re also a lover of food, or enjoy watching those cooking shows on your TV, then you’ll love hearing that 4 new food series are coming to Hulu!
