food IS a theme park
Today’s the day! We’re LIVE at the Epcot International Festival of the Arts — a celebration of the Visual, Performing, and Culinary Arts!!
2019 Festival of the Arts Passport
And you know what that means…
You know how we at the DFB feel about poutine. We love it so much we created a poutine crawl last year. We visit The Daily Poutine in Disney Springs often to sample their limited time offerings. And if we spot poutine on a menu, we pretty much can’t help ourselves. So secret menu poutine at Le Cellier? Yeah, we gotta tell you about this one!
Le Cellier Steakhouse
It’s called Annual Passholder Poutine — but you don’t need to have an Annual Pass to get it! [Read more…]
We found so much to buy in Disney Springs on our last trip! There’s Disney Snack themed clothing, housewares, new Celebrate Mickey merchandise, new Dooney and Bourkes, restaurant merchandise, and even more!
Mickey Through the Years Dooney and Bourke Tote
There’s a new Dooney and Bourke tote to celebrate Mickey Through the Years. Mickey fans are going to love this.
Epcot is busy with the International Festival of the Arts starting this Friday — we’ll be reporting live from opening day — but we still found new must-have food-themed merchandise being added to the shops as well as new drinks, sweet eats, teas, and construction progress — we’ve got it all covered!
Hello from Epcot
Let’s jump in with that brand new space-themed restaurant near Mission: Space opening in 2020!
Ever since Epcot’s Kringla Bakeri og Kafe reopened in August 2018, we’ve been keeping an eye on the pastry case to see what old favorites returned and what new treats await. Just a few days ago, we told you that Troll Horns (finally!) made a comeback! And just yesterday we let you know about the Troll Kreme Spiked Slush that’s perfect for fortifying the spirit before jumping in line for Frozen Ever After.

And now we’re bringing you a sweet treat that’s reindeer approved (because, after all, reindeer are better than people). It’s Sven’s Apple Cheesecake, and it’s lovely in its simplicity.
Epcot’s International Festival of the Arts begins on Friday
, and today DFB popped into a media preview to give you the scoop on some can’t miss merch — including Figment Ears that are absolutely a must buy! We also got to try several of the eats and see a lot of the other fun secrets coming to Festival of the Arts, so stay tuned for that post later today!
But first say hello to the boss. I love his new short pants so much. FYI, this new “Celebration Mickey” will be seen everywhere coming this Friday when the parks start fully celebrating his 90th birthday with new shows, new food, and new experiences! Stay tuned for that — we’ll be reporting on all of it!
Hello, Celebration Mickey!
And now ears. Beloved Figment — star of the updated and oft-maligned Journey Into Imagination in Epcot’s Future World — has finally gotten his due in Mickey ear form. And you’ve just got to see them.
Just last week we let you know your snack life is about to change: Mickey Premium Bars are coming to grocery stores for a limited time to celebrate Mickey’s 90th birthday!

Well the bars are starting to show up in grocery stores, and now we have a few more details to share! According to the Miami Herald, Mickey Premium Bars “will be sold at most major grocery stores“, and Publix‘s spokesperson confirmed they will be carrying the frozen treat!
A trip to the Disney Parks just isn’t complete without ice cream, if you ask us. And Disney California Adventure Park’s Pacific Wharf is home to the mecca of chocolatey ice cream treats: Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop!

And now this location is serving up Create Your Own Quake Shakes for a limited time. The Quake Shake is basically your choice of Ghirardelli chocolate squares mixed into a milkshake, and some standard options have been available for years.
Disney Style opened its doors in Disney Springs last May, and the merchandise at this shop on the West Side has been wowing us since!
