food IS a theme park
The 2021 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays starts next week — and we are excited!
It’s the Christmas season!
More information is being released about this year’s festival, including new details about the entertainment, activities, and of course, the holiday kitchens and menus!
Frozen has become a big part of the Disney Parks since being released in 2013.
Queen Elsa!
There is a ride in the Norway pavilion of EPCOT, we’ve seen special theme treats, and you can also see Anna and Elsa in the parks! There are a lot of Frozen souvenirs you can get at Disney World, but we found one recently that is a bit fancier than most of the others!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is not just a theme park, but also a sort of zoo, sort of a nature preserve, and sort of a smorgasbord of some of the BEST food at Disney Wold. Not only that, but Animal Kingdom has some of the most unique attractions of all the Disney Parks, from Kali River Rapids to Na’vi River Journey (not to mention, one of our favorite shows, Festival of the Lion King).
Tree of Life. Sing along: “Isn’t she lovellllyyyyy”
Although there are plenty of opportunities to see animals throughout the park, one of the biggest things that bring guests to Animal Kingdom is the array of rides — dark rides, thrill rides, and everything in between. So which rides are the BEST of the best and which ones are…not so much?
Hello, DFB friends!

We’ve been enjoying the holiday season at Disney World, what with all the decorations, the FOOD (of course, the food!), and fun holiday merchandise. But what else has been going on at Magic Kingdom lately? Well, let’s find out!
The holidays are coming up fast in Disneyland and Disney World.
Main Street, U.S.A.
We’ve already been to the holiday after hours events in both theme parks (Merriest Nites in Disneyland and Very Merriest After Hours in Disney World), and Festival of Holidays has arrived in Disney California Adventure. Now it’s been confirmed that one of the most popular holiday events is RETURNING to Disneyland. [Read more…]
Welcome back to another roundup of what’s new at EPCOT!

EPCOT is gearing up to start the Festival of the Holidays next week, so in the meantime, we’re checking out the latest merchandise finds as well as checking in on our favorite rides!
Disney loves taking advantage of new technology to change how guests experience the parks.

The My Disney Experience app allows you to do things like look at wait times, maps, menus, and more. And now, with Disney Genie on the app, it can even plan your day for you! Another feature of the app is Disney MagicMobile. This system acts as your ticket and allows you to enter the theme parks, lets you connect Disney PhotoPass images to your account, and gets you into the Lightning Lanes of rides (if you’re using Genie+). And now, MagicMobile has added a new feature!
New Year’s Eve is a VERY busy time at Disney World — who doesn’t want to ring in the New Year with Mickey Mouse and Friends? And who doesn’t want to indulge in some fun New Year’s snacks?
Happy New Year!
But now that we have park pass reservations, getting into the parks on New Year’s Eve can be tricky unless you planned way ahead — those park pass reservations can fill up FAST.
To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.
Late last month, Shanghai Disneyland temporarily re-closed in order to “cooperate with the pandemic investigation in other provinces and cities.” The closure wound up lasting through November 2nd, and the resort has since reopened.

Now, another international Disney park has temporarily re-close due to COVID-19.
Disney World’s 50th anniversary has come with a lot of new merchandise!
Happy Birthday, Disney World!
We’ve seen a bunch of Minnie Ears, several different collections, and special things like popcorn buckets and balloons. One of those items was the 50th Anniversary Celebration Minnie Mouse Sipper. It was in Magic Kingdom on October 1st, but quickly sold out. Now, it’s coming back to the park, but in an unusual way.
