food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
And, we’ve got plenty of updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
Welcome back to Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle
We’re taking a trip around Disney World’s flagship park to see what’s new with food, construction, merchandise, and MORE. Let’s get started!
It’s no doubt that a trip to Disney World can be pricey, and with souvenirs like Disney Dooney & Bourke bags featuring almost every Disney character imaginable, those dollars sure can rack up.
Disney Sidekicks Dooney & Bourke Collections
But, if you’re in need of a new purse (or just want one), Disney releases tons of new Dooney & Bourke collections in all shapes and sizes. Recently, we’ve seen bags themed after Disney’s Moana, Disney sidekicks, and even the Disney Skyliner, and now there’s another fandom coming in bag form — Tinker Bell!
We’re getting close to the opening of Avengers Campus!

We’ve peeked inside the land, taken a first look at all the menus, and even gotten some behind-the-scenes updates! But of course, we’re here to talk about all the FOOD. And guys…we’ve gotta be real with ya. The eats here are looking pricey.
Earlier this year, Disney World discontinued FREE MagicBands for guests at its resort hotels.
There Are Lots of MagicBand Designs to Choose From
Annual Passholders could still grab a free MagicBand with Annual Pass purchases (not currently available except in certain specific cases) and renewals. Soon, however, that will all be changing.
When Disneyland reopened, some of its restaurants did not. However, that’s all about to change! FOUR restaurants at Disneyland Resort will be reopening soon!
Sleeping Beauty Castle
Alfresco Tasting Terrace reopens on May 20th (exclusively to Legacy Passholders and their guests), Blue Bayou reopens on May 27th, Napa Rose reopens for dinner on May 28th, and Storytellers Cafe reopens for breakfast and dinner on May 28th.
There are some pretty universal experiences in Disney World: smiling when you see Mickey Mouse, getting excited over eating your favorite snack…the list goes on.
Big Thunder Mountain in Disney World
But we’d argue there are also some things that EMBARRASS us all. And we don’t know why. They just do. So when we saw this trend on TikTok, we were inspired to put our own DFB spin on it. Here are some embarrassing things in Disney World that just shouldn’t be embarrassing (They really shouldn’t. But they are, somehow.).
It’s a BIG year for Disney World.
Cinderella Castle
The parks are continuing with their phased reopening, and we’re also celebrating a huge milestone: Disney World’s 50th anniversary! We’ve already gotten to witness a few ways the party is kicking off, like transformations to park icons and a glow-up in Fantasyland. And now, we’ve got ANOTHER way to celebrate!
World Showcase in EPCOT is the place to be when it comes to snacking!
Mexico Pavilion
The Mexico pavilion is one of our favorite places to grab a snack or a margarita in the park — it even took the #4 spot when we ranked the World Showcase pavilions by their snacks! Now, we’re back in the pavilion to try a NEW snack, so let’s see if it’s worth your time and money on your next trip to EPCOT!
EPCOT is a foodie’s dream!
Les Halles
While there is incredible food all over Disney World, EPCOT’s World Showcase is home to lots of cultures and delicious snacks. There’s a reason so many people eat and drink around the world! And today, we tried an old favorite of ours that returned to the France pavilion…but it’s pretty different than before!
