food IS a theme park
The Pineapple-Whip Swirl Cupcake — or, as we’ve been referring to it, the Dole Whip Cupcake — at Intermission Food Court at Disney World’s All Star Music is something of a two-for-one treat.

locations in Walt Disney World and Disneyland have two returning cupcakes, and for one, the cupcake wizards of Sprinkles have found inspiration in the most important meal of the day! This isn’t the first time breakfast flavors have found their way onto (and into!) a Sprinkles Cupcake. Back in January the bakery offered four cereal cupcake options! (See our post about the cereal cupcakes here!)

But this first returning flavor is a little more subtle. It’s the Stuffed French Toast Cupcake featuring a raspberry-filled yellow cake topped with cinnamon cream cheese frosting dusted with cinnamon sugar! [Read more…]
It wasn’t too long ago that we showed you the Castle Cupcake, a sweet treat straight out of the Main Street Bakery at Walt Disney World. (Learn more about the Castle Cupcake here!) In one of those lovely promo shots from Disney, we spied with our hungry eyes a pair of ears we just had to have. The only problem? They weren’t for sale… yet!

Finally, the Castle Minnie Ears can be ours — in Disneyland. That’s right: the Disney merch goddesses have released a pair of Castle Minnie Ears featuring Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland Park! [Read more…]
Just a few days ago we let you in on the newest undead mug gracing the shelves of Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar at Disneyland (click here to read all about it!), and now our Insta-pal @mugs_of_disney has given us a detailed look at the latest Shrunken Head Zombie Mug — available now at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto in Walt Disney World!
Trader Sam’s Zombie Mug
This is a delightfully gory design, with stitched eyes and mouth, lots of hairy-looking marks on the face, and decorative piercings on the front and back. [Read more…]

guests looking to pick up the adorable and festive Mickey Sipper last week were disappointed to discover that it was sold out at locations in Magic Kingdom. If you recall, this expressive vessel arrived on the scene to celebrate Mickey’s 90th birthday back in November, and it stuck around for the celebration into the new year!

Now we’ve got some good news and some bad news. The good: the Mickey Sipper is back! [Read more…]
We can’t tell you how excited we are that Disney Parks food is showing up on all kinds of merchandise these days. We fell hard for the Pizza and Mickey Donut bags we spotted last month (click here to check them out!)… and for the entire line of Disney snacks bags from LoungeFly (you gotta look at them again!)… and for the Dole Whip-patterned merch we found in the Magic Kingdom (seriously: look!).
And now Disneyland has introduced several sweet (and savory) tee shirts that come in boxes as cool as the shirts themselves! Note that you can find several of these at Disney World as well!

How fun are these displays? [Read more…]
in the Canada Pavilion in Epcot’s World Showcase at Walt Disney World is a signature dining spot for lunch and dinner.
It’s tucked low in the side of the pavilion, and entering this popular restaurant is like stepping into an elegant wine cave cellar.
We’ve dined at Le Cellier many times, starting back before the Disney Dining Plan even existed, and then when it was still a one-credit meal for both lunch and dinner. That changed in 2012, when dinner became a signature dining experience requiring two Disney Dining Plan table service credits. Then, in 2013, lunch at Le Cellier also went signature, and lots of readers wanted to know if it was still worth a visit.
The short answer is yes… if you can spare the credits or bite the budget bullet out of pocket. Le Cellier crafts high-quality meals with thoughtful components and incorporates Canadian ingredients in subtle ways.
But I’m always re-trying old favorites to ensure that DFB can still endorse them, so I journeyed back to the Great White North to confirm Le Cellier’s place among the great restaurants of Walt Disney World.

The dining room at Le Cellier creates a distinctive dining atmosphere — and it’s one that I love. [Read more…]
It’s time to celebrate Valentine’s Day, and what better way to do that than with some Italian comfort food and good drinks? At Disney Springs, Maria and Enzo have your back with special menu items this week.
Maria & Enzo’s Main Dining Room
At Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante, enjoy their Love at First Bite menu of imported Italian meats and cheeses, oysters, New York strip steak, and roasted vegetable lasagna! [Read more…]
When you decide to purchase the Disney Dining Plan (or if you snag it during the yearly Free Dining offer!), you want to make sure you maximize your dining credits at every opportunity. With so many one-credit table service restaurants from which to choose, it can be tough to know where to go in order to get the best value for your credits. That’s where the DFB comes in.
, located at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, recently changed its menu, and now there’s a lunch and dinner item that makes this table service spot the biggest bang for your DDP buck! So if you’re a fan of a 20-oz. Bone-In Black Angus Rib-Eye, prepare to be the master of the DDP! On top of the $55 steak, add a $14 Lapu-Lapu and a dessert selection (up to $9), and you’ve got a $78 value for your table service credit!
