food IS a theme park
The new Spider-Man Coaster coming to Shanghai Disney is going through a HUGE part of the testing process right now, one that will take Imagineers through each millimeter of the attraction.

Yes, you heard us right: every millimeter! This is called Push-Pull testing, and let’s see exactly what this means and what it tests on the attraction. [Read more…]
If you’re a big fan of Pirates of the Caribbean (the ride, the movie, or just the general pirates theme of it all), you’ve probably already paid a visit to The Beak and Barrel in Magic Kingdom (and yes, we’ve been a few times ourselves). This lounge is themed around Pirates, after all, and is the perfect place to kick up your feet and drink some ale and have some snacks.
The Beak and Barrel
So this is for all of you obsessed with pirates and The Beak & Barrel...a brand new mug and drink are coming to the lounge soon, and we can guarantee you’ll want to grab it.
Want to know how much to budget for Lightning Lanes for your Disney World trip?
Lighting Lane
It can be challenging to know how much money to plan to spend if you’re a while out from your trip, because Disney doesn’t release prices until a few weeks ahead of time. But don’t worry — we’ve been tracking Lightning Lane prices for years, and I’m here to help you predict how much you’ll be spending in November 2026!
Christmas at Disney is on a whole other level, and this year is shaping up to be a fantastic season!
Magic Kingdom
This year, Disney is giving us plenty of new reasons to start planning. Disney theme parks around the world are shaking things up for the 2026 holiday season, bringing us brand-new entertainment, new character opportunities, and a lot of fun. Some parks are making tiny seasonal tweaks, while others are going all in with completely new themed offerings.
A brand-new dining experience is opening in Magic Kingdom in just a few days! The Diamond Horseshoe is turning into a limited-time pop-up lounge, and we are so excited to check it out.

And it looks like we are not the only ones, because reservations are filling up FAST. [Read more…]
Okay, if you’ve been paying attention to pop culture news recently, then you know that the queen Jennifer Lawrence, Katniss Everdeen herself, has FINALLY gotten on social media.

She famously went without any social media for a long time, but several weeks ago she made an Instagram account, and we couldn’t be happier about it. Why? Because it means we are getting some amazing and hilarious content, especially about her recent trip to Disneyland Paris. Her latest post proved she needs to work here at DFB.

EPCOT‘s World Showcase is full of some seriously awesome hidden treats!
China Pavilion in EPCOT
You don’t have to stick to the Mickey bars and the churros at this park, because you can wander into gift shops and find some of the most interesting snacks you’ve ever eaten, not to mention the offerings at the dozens of restaurants and snack stands. And if you’re heading to the park soon, there’s a limited-time snack that you might want to add to your to-do list!
When you’ve been out in the hot sun all day in Disney World, the one thing that might sound like the PERFECT snack is ice cream. Now, Disney World has ALL kinds of ice cream and soft-serve options (and we’ll never rule out DOLE Whip either), but what if you want to try something new?
Hokkaido Ice Cream
Well, a new ice cream option just popped up in EPCOT, and let’s just say that it’s become so popular that it often sells out. We’re talking about the Hokkaido Ice Cream you can now get at Mitsukoshi in the Japan Pavilion — we finally got our hands on it, and we’re bringing you our full review!!
Some Disney World fans plan trips around new rides. Others know exactly when Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party starts. And then there are people like us, who see a calendar and immediately start wondering what we’re going to eat. Disney World’s food calendar has its own rhythm. EPCOT festivals bring dozens of temporary food booths, annual celebrations can quietly introduce some of the most interesting dishes of the year, and one particularly delicious weekend turns the Swan and Dolphin into what is essentially a giant outdoor dinner party.
2025 Food and Wine Classic
So no, this isn’t every date when Disney releases a specialty treat. If we included every seasonal cupcake wearing a new buttercream topping, we’d be here until next Food & Wine Festival. But these are seven dates and seasons Disney food fans should actually know about.
When it comes to dining at the Magic Kingdom, there are MANY options to choose from, including quick-service restaurants, table-service restaurants, and snack carts.
Pinocchio Village Haus
But some of these spots we actually don’t go to because of the food… we go for another reason that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the eats.
