food IS a theme park
When we hear the words “new snacks” in relation to Disney World, our mouths almost immediately start watering — especially when those new snacks are coming to Animal Kingdom!
@Disney
Animal Kingdom is known for having some of the best food in all the Disney World parks, whether it’s full meals or snacks. So hearing that NEW snacks are coming to the park to celebrate the opening of Zootopia: Better Zoogether! was EXACTLY the news we wanted to wake up to this morning!
If you’re a big fan of collecting special Disney merchandise, especially FREE Disney merchandise, you won’t want to miss this new Magic Key offer!

Magic Key holders are Disneyland’s version of Annual Passholders, and similar to Disney World’s annual pass system, Magic Key holders often get access to special deals, discounts, events, and more that regular guests aren’t eligible for. If you’re a collector AND a Magic Key holder, there are new collectible cards you can begin snagging THIS week, but from what we’re seeing, many passholders are NOT happy about it.
Have you ever been surprised by some activity that occasionally happens in Disney World? We’re always coming across something new, and sometimes, it surprises us.

We’re still surprised, though, when these things turn up. Today, we were surprised to see a sign at EPCOT indicating that America’s Funniest Videos is looking for audience members to vote on some funny videos today in the park. NICE!
Well, it’s happened. We’ve said goodbye to spooky season in Disney World, and hello to the holiday season (the first decorations have started popping up!).
Stuffed pretzel!
We’ll soon be eating ALL the festive holiday food and drinking all the fun holiday drinks. We’re counting down the days to the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights, too. In the meantime, though, Disney World restaurants are changing their menus, including Homecomin’ and Yak & Yeti, so let’s see what’s been updated.
Are you ready to get freaky? Well, we know a lot of our DFB Readers our BIG fans of Freaky Friday, and you’ve probably already seen the sequel, Freakier Friday, which landed in theaters in August. But we bet you’ve been wondering when the movie drops on Disney+ so you can watch it over and over?

Well, we finally have an answer to that! You’ll be able to watch Freakier Friday on Disney+ on November 12th!
Okay, we’ve been there. You plan a trip to Disneyland, only to discover that one of your favorite rides is closed for refurbishment. Granted, we sometimes have a little heads up when Disneyland closes rides, but we’re never entirely sure of when they’ll reopen. Well, that’s not the case with Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

Disneyland’s Big Thunder Mountain Railroad closed in September for a months-long refurbishment. Well, it looks like as of today, the ride has officially reopened.
Alright, we’re calling all Disney Adults right now, because there’s something coming up next week that you CANNOT miss.
Disney Adults!
No, it’s not in Disney World OR Disneyland, believe it or not. In fact, you’ll want to head to the northeast for this event — New York City, to be exact. If you’ve been waiting for the opportunity to meet AJ Wolfe, the creator of DisneyFoodBlog, you’ll want to head to the book signing happening in NYC next week!
Okay, so we know there are a lot of unique foods and snacks you can have in Disney World, not to mention all the fun Mickey-shaped treats. But sometimes, you know, you just want a really good burger.
Smash Burger
Now, not all burgers in Disney World are made equally, and let’s just say that the ones in the parks haven’t always done much to wow us. But in Disney Springs, you can find some pretty good burgers in several restaurants, but one of our favorite burgers has just returned…and we’re STOKED.
Happy November, DFB friends. Well, one of the things you might know about the beginning of each month is that we often see some Disney World restaurants change up their menus and offer new specials. That includes one of our favorite spots to get cookies, Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs.
Stuffed Sugar Cookie
Gideon’s Bakehouse is going ALL IN on November and bringing back their limited Stuffed Sugar Cookies, which have previously only been available for a weekend here, a weekend there. Well, in November, you’ll be able to get those cookies ALL MONTH LONG.
You know, one thing I feel that is missing from EPCOT’s World Showcase, particularly in the China Pavilion, is a spot to grab dim sum.
We’re ready for some apps!
Well, y’all, that has officially changed…at least for now. That’s because Nine Dragons Restaurant in the China Pavilion is now offering a limited-time dim sum menu for lunch. DIM SUM HAS COME TO DISNEY WORLD, Y’ALL.
