food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
And, we’ve got plenty of merchandise, food, and entertainment updates to share with you, so let’s dive right on in!
Disney movies are our favorite, and they’ve expanded EVERYWHERE — especially theme parks and merchandise.

When Disney+ was released, many fans were excited to be able to watch EVERYTHING Disney in one place. While we’ve gotten to see old classics and discover new series, there are still so many films that are missing from the streaming service.
The original content on Disney+ makes for great viewing AND listening!

And if you’re a fan of the Disney+ series, The Imagineering Story, we have some great news — Disney has now released the original soundtrack from the show!
Ever wanted to sip a Mai Tai with one of your favorite Golden Girls?? The only correct answer is, “YES, PLEASE. How and where?”

Earlier, we revealed the 16 oz tiki mugs featuring Rose, Blanche, Dorothy, and Sophia from Toynk. Well, get the cheesecake ready and put on the coffee because summer is HERE. And what better way to celebrate than by drinking out of the most ADORABLE Golden Girl mini mugs this side of Miami?!
Can you believe the Disney World theme parks have officially reopened?
Welcome Home!!
Disney has put a lot of work into the modifications made for the reopening. Disney World has already seen changes like face mask requirements and distancing measures, but a few of these updates might actually become a part of everyday park life.
We’ve seen some wild things over the years in Disney World (remember when Cinderella Castle was turned into a giant pink birthday cake for the 25th anniversary?).
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Although there have been so many sights that we will never forget in the parks, there’s Disney entertainment that has been lost to time. With all the new lands and the giant EPCOT Transformation, many guests don’t realize that Disney has hosted some delightfully strange shows and attractions over the years.
While Disney World has already confirmed some of the musical groups that will be returning when the parks reopen, we just learned about another performer you’ll get to enjoy at Epcot soon!
Rose and Crown Pub
Carol Stein is a singer and pianist you’ve probably heard tickling the ivories at the UK pavilion’s Rose and Crown Pub if you’ve ever wandered in for a pint! And while she won’t be returning to the restaurant right away, her fans will still have a chance to watch her perform!
Frozen fans will soon have even more new content to enjoy!

If you’re still obsessing over Frozen 2 and you just can’t let it go, we have some great news — Disney+ is releasing Into the Unknown: Making Frozen 2 later this week!
Last week, we told you guys a large union comprised of many food and beverage Cast Members were being called back to work at Disney World’s restaurants.
Remy Topiary at Ecpot’s Flower and Garden Festival
At first, we were a little confused why Epcot was recalling its Festival food handlers — which, of course, we later found out only hours later was because Food and Wine Festival was returning on July 15th! And now we’ve just learned some of Disney World’s equity performers are being asked back.
The Disney Parks have slowly started to re-open around the world.
Disneyland Paris
While Shanghai Disneyland and Hong Kong Disneyland have reopened to guests, Walt Disney World theme parks will be welcoming guests again on July 11th and July 15th (and Disneyland Resort has a proposed reopening timeline as well). Although Tokyo Disneyland has yet to announce its re-opening timeline, Disneyland Paris will be opening back up to guests soon!
