food IS a theme park
Welcome back to Walt Disney World!
Splash Mountain
Last week, we noticed wait times were down significantly compared to earlier in August, so let’s see if the trend is continuing! Here’s a look at all the average wait times in Disney World from this week!
It seems like every week we have another restaurant reopening at Disney World!
Japan Pavilion
Recently we have been able to enjoy the reopening of restaurants such as Boma and Victoria Falls Lounge, as well as the return of breakfast to Cinderella’s Royal Table. But today, we spent some time over in EPCOT for another restaurant reopening! [Read more…]
If you’re headed to Disney World this fall, you’ll need to know some important things!
Make sure you know Disney World’s park hours!
First, don’t forget to make your park pass reservations and familiarize yourself with the My Disney Experience app. Second, make sure you know the park hours — and we’ve got you covered for trips up through early November!
We’re heading into the final weeks of summer (even though Halloween is already in full force at Disney World!), and while we must say goodbye to the month of August, we’ll use our fond farewell as an opportunity to look back on all of our favorite (and…not so favorite) things we ate in the parks and resorts!
Spooooooky castle!
That’s right, we’re back with another monthly roundup of the best and worst things we had in Disney World for the month of August. This month brought us fall-themed treats and a TON of new Food and Wine booths, so there was no shortage of food and drink items to try!
September is a great time to visit Disney World this year!
Mickey Pumpkins Galore!
Kids are back in school, the weather should cool off a little, and you’ll beat the crowds coming in for the big 50th anniversary in October! And, there are some exciting new things to look forward to happening this month that we want to tell you allllll about. These are the BEST things to do in Disney World in September!
Who doesn’t love fun souvenirs from Disney World?
Mickey Birthday Souvenir Sipper
Some of our favorite souvenirs are those that have Mickey on them, because, he IS the mouse that started it all. We’ve seen just about everything like a Mickey t-shirt, mug, hat, balloon, and popcorn bucket. But there are two really pretty souvenirs that we’ve been eyeing that have been out of stock for a little while — but it turned back up at Disney World TODAY.
Disney has been changing a lot of things lately.
Boo Bash is NOT the same as Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!
Annual Passholders no longer get free MagicBands, there is a whole new FastPass system, and After Hours events have replaced the usual holiday parties. One thing that’s been missing since Disney reopened last year is Extra Magic Hours. Disney recently announced new perks to replace the extra time in the parks, but only select hotel guests have access to the extended hours in the evenings. However, there will soon be another place to stay that will allow you full access to this perk!
Disney has been known to be a socially conscious company.
Rainbow Dome Cake
Most recently, Disney dropped gender-specific pronouns from its pre-fireworks announcements. The company also embraces Pride Month (and releases a TON of rainbow merchandise AND snacks in honor of it). Now, Disneyland has embraced diversity with mannequins!
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video that’s all about the latest Disney news!
Finger Scanning is BACK
August has been a very busy month for Disney, and this week alone we’ve seen finger scanners return to Disney World, details and concept art for the upcoming Splash Mountain re-theme, and new merchandise limits.
We love our sweet treats in Disney World!
Dole Whip!
And how could we not when there are so many to choose from? Dole Whips, alcoholic ice cream, cookies from Gideons…oh! And who could forget ALL of those sweets over in Hollywood Studios right now for Halloween?! It’s a great time to have a sweet tooth in Disney World and it just got even BETTER because we found FOUR new cupcakes today in Animal Kingdom! And, guess what? They’re all adorably themed to Russell’s Wilderness Explorer Badges from Pixar’s Up!
