food IS a theme park
Greetings from the Magic Kingdom! We have plenty of updates for you from our most recent visit including tons of new merchandise, construction updates, and more. Lots is happening at MK — including new sweet treats!
Magic Kingdom
So let’s get started, shall we?
If you are visiting the 2019 Epcot Flower and Garden Festival, you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled…

Salt & Straw in Downtown Disney Anaheim
They’re also known for mixing things up with fun seasonal flavors!

Hope you’re enjoying your weekend so far! We’re back with another DFB Video this weekend, and we’re talking about Character Dining in Walt Disney World… because we’ve gone to EVERY Character Meal (so you don’t have to)!
Storybook Dining at Artist Point
There are a LOT of Character Meals offered in Walt Disney World… and they are, understandably, a HUGE draw! Pairing a meal with a chance to meet several characters without waiting in line… well, what’s not to love? As it turns out, though, it’s not that simple, because there’s a lot to consider: which characters do you (or your children) most want to meet? What kind of food and service style do you enjoy? Where are all the various character meals located? We’re talking about ALL of that — along with tips and tricks for YOUR character meal — in our latest DFB YouTube Video!
Jambo
! We’re at Disney’s Animal Kingdom today to show you What’s New in the park! Come along!
Hello from the Animal Kingdom!
On Discovery Island, Isle of Java now has the Simba Cupcake. [Read more…]
that PizzeRizzo, the muppets-themed counter-service pizza joint in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, was doomed to be a “seasonal” operation…meaning it would only open during the busiest seasons.

After a long closure, it seems that Rizzo the Rat’s restaurant is showing as open again on the Disney World website. But for how long?
It’s not often we get to use our Hot Dog Alert, but today’s the day: Casey’s Corner in Magic Kingdom will stop selling foot-long hot dogs and monthly Hot Diggity Dogs!
Foot-long Cheesy Hot Diggity Dog
But all hope is not lost if you long for a dog longer than an average human foot because the foot-long dogs have moved to another popular quick service restaurant in the park! [Read more…]
Great news (maybe?) if you’re going to be a Disney World hotel guest after Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opens on August 29th!
Disney is extending park hours AND adding more Extra Magic Hour options to alleviate the Galaxy’s Edge crowds that will be flooding the Orlando parks this fall. So…yeah…it’s gonna be CROWDED in Disney World, but at least you can plan to get up really early and maybe not get as lost in the sea of humanity as you would have otherwise.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
FYI, Extra Magic Hours are times when the parks are open exclusively for guests staying at resort hotels that offer the Extra Magic Hour benefit — those include the Disney World-owned resort hotels and several good neighbor hotels in the area.
They’re usually only offered at one or two parks per day, but this year, from September 1-November 2, those guests will be able to experience Extra Magic Hours at three Disney World theme parks…EVERY SINGLE DAY.
It’s been a BIG week at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and we’re bringing you lots of What’s New from the birthday park! That’s right: Hollywood Studios turned thirty this week! We were on hand for the 30th anniversary celebration.

At the May 1st celebration, Disney unveiled a new logo for the park as part of the festivities. [Read more…]
Just a few days ago we were paying our first visit and eating our way through the menu at the new Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes in the Downtown Disney District of Disneyland Resort.
Black Tap Craft Burger and Shakes
While the experience was a great one overall, Black Tap’s signature CrazyShakes were an absolute highlight. That’s why we’re so excited to let you know that an all-new CrazyShake has taken a spot on the Black Tap menu (both here in Downtown Disney and at Black Tap locations worldwide) starting today! Are you ready for this? It’s the Churro Choco Taco CrazyShake.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
