food IS a theme park
We’re back with another DFB video covering the latest in Disney news!
You’ll soon get to meet Minnie in her 50th anniversary outfit!
Encanto‘s Mirabel is coming to Disney World, more character meet and greets are returning to the parks, AND we’ve got ALL the details about the holidays at Disney World this year.
Okay, so who collects Starbucks cups?
Starbucks Tumblers
Believe us, we won’t judge, because we have CABINETS of cups, including a few of the 50th anniversary tumblers, some of those “You Are Here” mugs, and even the Ornaments that look like Starbucks cups. But we just found what might be the COOLEST Starbucks cup we’ve seen yet!
There are plenty of unique dining spots at Disney World.
House of Blues
But if you’re a fan of music, you might just find yourself dining at House of Blues in Disney Springs. Sure, it IS a chain restaurant, but it’s a chain restaurant with loads of atmosphere and live music in the evenings, and sometimes that’s all you want. So we revisited House of Blues for the first time in a while to see if the food is as rockin’ as the music.
At Disney World, things are constantly changing.
Chefs De France
That’s true even in Disney World restaurants. New foods are always appearing, special snacks pop up for holidays and other occasions, and even menus sometimes get a complete overhaul. Today, we’ve got some menu changes to share with you at an EPCOT restaurant.
Change is inevitable in Disney World.
The BOATHOUSE
Attractions and experiences close, new attractions open, parks get makeovers, and menus change. Over the past few years, many of the menu changes we’ve seen, however, have come in the form of price increases. Now, ANOTHER Disney World restaurant will cost a bit more the next time you eat there.
Traditional meet and greets have returned to Disney World!
Mickey and Minnie
That’s right! You can now meet and greet — and HUG — many characters in the parks again. We’re also seeing more meet and greets return every day — most recently, Mickey and Minnie started greeting guests again at Adventurer’s Outpost in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Now, Minnie will be joining Mickey in another spot to greet guests!
Can you believe it? We’re on Round 3 of our Magic Kingdom ride throwdown!
Did your favorite ride survive round 3 of our Magic Kingdom rankings throwdown?
We’ve done our best to rank the attractions based on what our team has said, but we’ve now opened the debate up to you. You’ve already selected which rides made it through round 2 of the rankings, but now, we’ve got the results from round 3! Are you ready? Did your favorite ride make the cut? Let’s find out!
Disney World hotels can be like theme parks in and of themselves.
Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort
From their elaborate theming to their great restaurants to fun activities, there’s just so much to do! This is why we always recommend having a resort day to make sure you’re getting EVERYTHING out of your Disney World hotel because, hey, you’re paying for that, too! There’s always something new, too, which is why we’re here — to keep you updated on what’s new.
A BIG change happened when Disney World reopened in 2020 and guests were introduced to the park pass reservation system.
If you want to visit Animal Kingdom, you have to book a park pass reservation
That system has stayed in place, and it seems like it’s going to be around for at least a while longer. So Disney World guests now must have a valid ticket PLUS a reservation for a park for a specific day (although they can hop to another park later without a reservation for THAT park). Now, how that reservation is made looks a little different on the My Disney Experience app.
Happy Father’s Day! Did you know that Disney World celebrates the day with LOADS of special snacks?
Contempo Cafe
Well, it does — so in addition to all the Lightyear snacks and all the Pride snacks, we’re trying to dig into some of Father’s Day snacks! It’s…a LOT. Some of these treats are a lot, too — we just recently tried a chocolate tart topped with potato chips, bacon, snickers, M&Ms, and more! NOW, we’re back with another over-the-top treat for dad.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
