food IS a theme park
Howdy from Magic Kingdom!
Churro time!
Disney World decided to release three new menu items in Frontierland, so we’re donning our cowboy hats and boots to check out new chicken tenders, burgers, and CHURROS!
We’re going to confess something: we’re obsessed with anything with Mickey (or Minnie) ears. We know it’s simple, but we just love seeing those circles represent those magical mice!

We’ve been in love with our Touchland Hand Sanitizer that looks like Mickey Mouse, but they just added a Minnie Mouse one to Amazon, and we can’t get enough of it.
A year-long refurbishment is coming to Disney World!
Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
If you’ve had a convention at Disney World, you might have been to the Convention Center at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort. Well, conventions might look a little different because of this massive refurbishment.
Mobile Ordering is one of the best ways to save time in Disney World. Instead of waiting in line at the counter of a quick service restaurant, you can order on your phone, choose a time, and when you get close, hit “I’m here” and pick up your food. If there’s an option to Mobile Order, we’re probably going to do it.
The Aloha Pork Sandwich
While there are locations throughout the parks, you can also do it at some quick service locations at the hotels. For a bit, we couldn’t Mobile Order unless we were on property near the restaurant, but a new change has hit, and we couldn’t be happier.
According to Deadline, Disney has cut several hundred jobs, with Pixar and National Geographic being the most affected.

This report comes shortly after ESPN let go of staffers as a result of a deal with the NFL. A person familiar with the situation told Deadline that staffers at Disney Entertainment Television and Studios have been notified of the layoffs.
We love Disney World…but we also love Disneyland. Oh, and Six Flags. And Dollywood. And definitely Universal. If you’re making us pick the best theme park, we’re probably going to struggle because every theme park has its pros and cons, and honestly, it will depend on your own personal preference at the end of the day.
Cinderella Castle
TripAdvisor does a yearly ranking of the best theme parks and water parks in the United States, and the survey results recently came out. Number one is probably not what you’re guessing!
If there’s one thing you can’t miss in Epic Universe, we’d probably say it’s The Untrainable Dragon show. This show lets you enter the world of dragons with Hiccup, and you get to actually see Toothless fly over you. It’s insanely magical, and many of our DFB team members have cried when watching it for the first time.
Toothless
Well, this show is going under a short refurbishment, and you might not be able to see it at all!
According to the National Hurricane Center, Tropical Storm Bertha is forming in the Gulf and may bring flooding.
Rainy day at Animal Kingdom
The tropical storm was “stationary” on the night of July 20th, and forecasters warned it could bring tropical storm conditions, like heavy rainfall and coastal flooding, to parts of the northern Gulf Coast in the next few days.
Get ready to get scared! Passes for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando are officially for sale, which means if you’re someone who needs to see the houses again and again, now is your time.

This also means we’re getting a good look at the prices for the passes, which might be worth screaming about.
LEVEL99 recently opened in Disney Springs, and we’ve been having a blast playing all the games and collecting points. Disney Springs needed a space like this, so we’re glad it’s here, and the internet seems to be raving about the experience.
LEVEL99
Something super cool about LEVEL99 is that it’s decked out in amazing artwork. Seriously, it feels like every wall is filled with bright colors, and we couldn’t help but stop and admire them while waiting for our next game. Just wait till you see the art!
