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, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Magic Kingdom!
Let’s Go to Magic Kingdom!
This week we got to see more construction progress on a fan-favorite attraction and we found TONS of new merchandise that lets you sport your favorite rides, characters, and more! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s jump right on in!
If you know anything about Florida, then you’ll know there is a history between citrus fruits, like oranges, that play right into the state’s entertainment, food offerings, and more!
Amorette’s
And, that’s why Disney World has its own special connection with the Florida Citrus Commission, who helped bring the ever-famous Orange Bird to life in the parks. So, it’s no surprise that Disney Springs is going all out for the Flavors of Florida event with a Key lime milkshake, Key lime donut, watermelon Dole Whip, Key lime cookies, Orange Blossom Cupcake, and more! Of course, we couldn’t resist heading back for another taste of the ongoing event…but, this treat wasn’t what we expected!
Just a few nights ago, fireworks returned to Disney World at both Magic Kingdom and EPCOT.
EPCOT Forever
But weather concerns can impact fireworks shows at Disney World. Today, a flood watch was announced for the Disney World area and a Tornado Watch was also issued for part of Disney World, ahead of Tropical Storm Elsa. Now it looks like the weather concerns in Disney World are impacting some of the fireworks shows.
Bright suns! We’re back at Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge for some new eats!
Galaxy’s Edge
Earlier today, we learned that Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo unveiled new menu items, so we hopped over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to try them out for ourselves!
Thinking of heading to the 2021 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival? Not even sure where to start planning?
EPCOT
We’ve got you covered! So far, we’ve shared a look at the booths that are confirmed to be at this year’s festival, the entertainment coming to the festival, and more. But, now we’re going to break it all down for you in one place, and give you some of our top tips to conquer the festival!
EPCOT has been undergoing a HUGE transformation over the past few years.
Construction near Spaceship Earth
There are new rides coming like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, new attractions like Journey of Water, a new flagship store replacing the old Mouse Gear, new neighborhoods being created, and so much more! The transformation does not have an official end date and it feels like there’s been construction walls up in EPCOT forever (like a long time, not like the fireworks show!). But, today we found something NEW that’s getting us excited for the future of the park!
Annual Pass sales aren’t looking the way they used to, as Disney World has halted the program and Disneyland is in the midst of making a replacement version.

But, one park is reinstating its Annual Passholder program next week.
It’s hard to believe that Disneyland has been reopened for just a little over 2 months now!
Sleeping Beauty Castle
We’ve been taking you with us as we eat our way through all the reopening restaurants and snack spots, and explore all the attractions and the brand new (!!) Avengers Campus. Plus, we’ve even brought you a look at all the reopening hotels. And, if you’re a California resident you can explore it all for yourself at a discount this summer!
While the Disney nuiMOs might be getting extra popular, the Disney Wishables are still all the rage in the parks and online (just look at that entire Wishables wall)!
Wishables
We’ve seen Cars, Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Wars, and a whole line-up of themed plushes. And, it looks like there is another series you’ll want to add to your shelves soon!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
