food IS a theme park
Greetings from the West Coast, DFBers!
We love this view!
We’ve been hanging around Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, and Downtown Disney, checking out all the new food, merchandise, and more. And we’re here with ALL the updates!
There’s just something amazing about classic Southern food.
The Polite Pig at Disney Springs
We’re talking BBQ, grits, and collard greens, and we’re just getting started. Throw in a few biscuits and we’re in our Southern comfort food heaven. Now, there’s a new Chef’s Special at Disney Springs that’s got us saying, “Hey, ‘y’all!”
It seems like almost everything at Disney World is under construction.

If something at Disney World isn’t getting repainted, it’s probably getting refurbished, decked out, and more. And it’s all to make the parks look spectacular for the upcoming 50th anniversary celebration!
We’ve been enjoying this year’s EPCOT Food and Wine Festival (well, we enjoy it EVERY year)!
Refreshment Outpost
While we’ve been busy snacking on an Apple Crumble Tart, a Sriracha Chicken Donut, and Schinkennudeln, we’ve been missing one festival staple — the almighty Dole Whip. When the festival first started, Dole Whip at EPCOT was nowhere to be found! Until now… .
Hello from the 2021 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival!
EPCOT Food and Wine
We’ve been here since day one, trying out all the amazing food booths that opened with the festival, including the Australia booth, Hops and Barley, The Noodle Exchange, and The Swanky Saucy Swine! But nine booths aren’t set to open until October 1st…except..
Hello to all our DFB friends!
Ah. Peaceful… .
It’s been a busy week! Halloween is OFFICIALLY on at Disney World (and we attended the first-ever After Hours Boo Bash). And the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is still going on, too (and we’ve got some more food booths opening soon). But what else is happening at EPCOT? Well, here are the latest updates!
If you’ve ever dreamed of working at Disney World, here’s your chance!
GARWSH!
Sure, if you’re a student, you could sign up for the Disney College Program, which recently resumed. Or you could scour the Disney jobs website for an opening. But if you’ve got some culinary skills, you could attend a special job fair AND score a $1000 bonus if you’re hired!
If there are two things we love a LOT, it’s cookies and ice cream.
Hot Cookie Hour
And well, we won’t complain if the two get combined — we’ve love our yummy ice cream sandwiches from Plaza Ice Cream Parlor at Magic Kingdom, as well as the Hot Fudge Cookie Sundae at Storybook Treats and the Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich from Dino-Bite Snacks at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. So, of course, we’re big fans of the Hot Cookie Hour at Gideon’s Bakehouse, which features a Gideon’s cookie fresh out of the oven with a scoop of locally-made malt vanilla ice cream. Can you say “yum?” But there’s a big problem with the Hot Cookie Hour — it’s ONLY ONE HOUR. NOT ANYMORE!
Who’s ready for the 50th anniversary celebration at Disney World? There’s so much to look forward to!
The 50th is almost here!
Not only will the parks be transformed with new decor and lighting, but we’re also getting new fireworks, new golden character statues, new snacks, and more! But there will also be LOADS of new merchandise including a new limited-time Pre-Celebration Collection — and it’s available starting TODAY at Disney World.
There is SO much going on at Disney World and Disneyland — we’re seeing new attractions being built at Disney World, and we just witnessed the grand opening of Avengers Campus at Disneyland.
When will we get to see this re-themed?
We’ve even been able to enjoy a re-theme of the Jungle Cruise at both parks (which is complete at Disneyland). But we’re still wondering, what is going on with the Splash Mountain re-theme project?
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
