food IS a theme park

Thank goodness for social media, because that means we can check in on all of the NBA players to see what they’ve been up to at the Most Magical Place on Earth! Let’s recap what has been going on inside the NBA “bubble” at Disney World this week.
Due to the ongoing global health crisis, The Walt Disney Company has had to pivot and adapt on the fly to the ever-changing circumstances of our new environment.
Magic Kingdom
Consisting of many segments pertaining to the entertainment industry including Disney Cruise Line and Walt Disney Studios namely, just about every facet of The Walt Disney Company has been financially impacted from the shutdown, with Disney’s theme parks taking the biggest hit. Now, the Walt Disney Company has just held its Q3 earnings call to discuss the results of its third fiscal quarter of 2020.
Have you been wishing for more Disney Wishables? Looks like a certain Disney Parks favorite is providing the inspiration for a new collection…
Jungle Cruise
Here at DFB, we sure are fond of our Disney Wishables. We love to see collections inspired by some of our favorite characters like these Woody Wishables. But we also think it’s SUPER fun when these adorable keepsakes honor Disney attractions, like the Monsters, Inc. Mike and Sulley to the Rescue Wishables or these Country Bear Jamboree Wishables.

Along with Disney’s theme parks, the Disney Cruise Line has been experiencing major delays due to the global health crisis.
Disney Cruise Line

Ah, Rise of the Resistance — we see you’re making news again!
Rise of the Resistance
We were reporting in Hollywood Studios today when we spotted something a little bit different about the way that Boarding Groups look in the My Disney Experience app. That’s right, we’re joining Rise of the Resistance’s Virtual Queue to check out a new update!
Although Walt Disney World has officially reopened, not all attractions and shows have reopened along with it.
Fish are Friends NOT Food
Recently we’ve seen some experiences reopen that were not initially available. Other offerings, however, like the classic live shows at Disney’s Animal Kingdom like Finding Nemo: The Musical and Festival of the Lion King still remain closed. Now, we’ve got some new somewhat balanced news about entertainment offerings at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It seems one show is temporarily going away, but another performance will be temporarily appearing in its place!

But the most recent collection has been extra difficult to buy! Typically, we have to contend with quick sales both in-store and online (plus some technical difficulties!). Now, with major merchandise releases happening online only and the introduction of the shopDisney MerchPass, you’d need to get PRETTY lucky to snag the already-delayed Peter Pan’s Flight line.
Weirdly enough, we just GOT lucky as Disney released an UNANNOUNCED second round of MerchPass selections. What?! Take a look!
We’re always looking for tasty snacks to squeeze in between mealtime for our kids and tbh, ourselves.

So far, we’ve enjoyed new Disney and Pixar ice cream flavors, Mickey ice cream bars (the at-home version), and we can’t wait to buy the new Toll House Hocus Pocus cookie dough when it comes out SOON!
We are in a constant state of anticipation for the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy rollercoaster in EPCOT.
Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is a new coaster that’s set to open sometime before Disney World’s 50th Anniversary next year. We were pumped to see progress recently, and now we know what they might be working on!
Here at DFB, we are intrepid world travelers (well, World Showcase travelers anyway!). On our way, we happened to spot some super cute Disney apparel.
Spaceship Earth in EPCOT
We’ve seen a lot of cool finds at EPCOT recently, like this great-for-self-care skin masks and a BUNCH of Canada Pavilion merchandise. And did you hear the news?? The new Viking Mickey Ears we were so excited about already sold out!
