food IS a theme park
We spotted a new place servin’ up on-tap cocktails in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

We were strolling through Toy Story Land today when we noticed that the Toy Story Land Beverage Cart had a “Cocktails” stand sitting nearby.
Last year, Disney confirmed that Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and La Creperie de Paris will be opening in 2021 at EPCOT’s France pavilion.

We’ve already seen the area that will house the ride and restaurant move along with its construction, we’ve gotten a peek at the inside of the attraction, and more. Today, it looks like we’re one step CLOSER to visiting this new area, as construction walls near Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure have come down!
Recently Tokyo Disneyland opened a whole bunch of new rides, shops, and restaurants as part of the expansion of its Fantasyland, including The Happy Ride with Baymax, a Beauty and the Beast attraction with some seriously incredible animatronics and special effects, and more!

But, the resort has also seen some other changes recently due to an increase in COVID-19 cases in Japan. Japan recently set a travel ban on non-resident foreign travelers coming into the country, Tokyo Disney Resort reduced its hours, nightly fireworks at the resort were suspended, and park ticket sales have been temporarily suspended. Now, another change is coming to the resort as several restaurants are set to temporarily close.
One of the best ways to show off your love for all things Disney is through your clothing!
Disney Sweatshirts
Disney sells TONS of clothes and accessories for their fans: tees, leggings, hats, sweatshirts, and even Minnie ears! We love seeing the creative ways that guests and fans incorporate Disney into their style when visiting the parks. Now, there’s a new line of clothing at Disney World, and it allows you to rep your favorite theme park in a very cozy way!
When it comes to souvenirs, Disney World has no shortage of options to choose from!
Main Street Balloons
You could get pins, glow toys, bubble wands, tees, or so many other items! We’re constantly checking up on the new souvenir offerings in Walt Disney World, and today we noticed a change to one of the classics — Mickey balloons. There are not one, but TWO new colors of Mickey balloons…and we’ve got pictures of them both!
Love is in the air…and so is the smell of freshly brewed coffee!
Fairytale Love Latte
Baristas from Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea have spoiled us with new latte concoctions this week. We’ve had coffee topped with Twix, M&Ms, and Milky Ways. It’s time to soak some more candy flavors in our coffee. Joffrey’s is mixing up a Valentine’s Day TREAT that’s for coconut and chocolate lovers.
Disney World has seen many changes in the past year.
Cinderella Castle
The global health crisis has Disney making adjustments to Park Hopping, safety regulations, and more. When the theme park’s reopened, Disney made the decision to suspend Extra Magic Hours to reduce early morning crowds. Now, a new experience is coming to Disney World this year that will allow resort guests to enter the parks early.
You can certainly admire the beauty of Cinderella Castle from the outside and you can even dine inside of the castle again at Cinderella’s Royal Table, but spending a night inside of the Cinderella Castle Suite is a whole other level of magic.

In the past, guests could win a night in the suite by donating to a good cause or mega fans could pay a hefty price to get a tour of this incredible spot, which has a bathroom so magnificent it got an honorable mention on our best bathrooms list! But, if you’ve never gotten the chance to step foot inside of this special location, now you can — virtually!
A trip to Disney World isn’t special just because of the roller coasters and souvenirs (OK, those are really fun parts though!).

It’s special because of the memories you create! Disney does their best to start the experience the minute you enter. From start to finish, you’re fully immersed in the “Disney magic.” The memories and magic really kick into gear when you add in magical moments from Cast Members and characters. Over the years, people have made Disney World the place to get their first haircuts, celebrate their birthdays, and pop the question. To start off 2021 on a positive note, we reached out to the DFB team and our readers to share their favorite moments experienced at Disney World.
Theme parks are looking very different nowadays with plexiglass barriers, distancing measures, sanitizing stations, and even completely modified queues and experiences.
EPCOT
Recently, COVID-19 vaccines were introduced around the states. Now that Florida has started to distribute the vaccine, the state has made some changes to its distribution processes.
