food IS a theme park
August is right around the corner, and Disney World is changing rapidly.
Happy 50th!
There are a number of things that will be different in Disney World in August, so let’s go over everything you need to know if you have an August trip planned!
The Drop Off Pool Bar, located at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, offers cocktails, slushies, and milkshakes! It’s the perfect spot to grab a treat to beat the heat and cool down by the pool.
The Drop Off Poolside Bar
The last time we visited, we really enjoyed this spot’s summertime offerings, even if there was an unwelcome surprise in one of them! They’ve had some creative drinks in the past, like the Bacon and Bourbon Spiked Shake! Today, we stopped by The Drop Off to check out two new drinks available this month: the Orange Vanilla Shake and the Reefside Punch!
Disney World is constantly updating rides and hotels around the parks, so we do our best to keep you updated on what’s going to be closed for refurbishments during your trip!
Construction Walls in EPCOT
We found all the rides and hotels that are scheduled to be closed in August! If you’re heading to Disney World soon, take a look at this list so that you know what to expect!
We’re back to check in on all of the construction projects going on around Disney World!
So pretty!
Since the beginning of the year, Disney has been sprucing up the parks and resorts for the big 50th Anniversary celebrations that are set to kick off in October and that has led to A LOT of construction. And, this week wasn’t any different — between refurbished attractions, lands, and more, we’ve got tons to cover, so let’s get to it!
Even with the most impeccable planning for your Disney World trip, there’s always the possibility that something might go a little off track.
Even at the most magical place on earth things can go wrong
And, though there are a lot of things you can anticipate — an afternoon rain, a child meltdown, you lose something (or someONE), what about the times that something that you couldn’t necessarily plan for…happens. Well, that’s what we’re talking about today!
Can you believe that tomorrow is the first day of AUGUST?! This year has been much quicker than last year!
This year is more than halfway over!
Over the past 7 months, we’ve seen a lot of huge changes and massive news bombs come out of Disney World, and the wild ride is just beginning! Not everything has fully reopened yet and some things are even taking a step backward in terms of health and safety protocols, so if you’re traveling soon, here are 11 things you need to know about Disney World in August.
Hello, DFB friends! It’s been a quiet week at Disney World, but we’ve been enjoying a few new snacks around the parks.
“Everyone DUCK!” Flatbread
We’ve had a chance to eat The Rock’s French Toast and Tequila, Dole Whip Cookies from our grocery store, and some fun Jungle Cruise snacks! And we’re still eating our way around the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival! But we’ve also got some restaurant reopening news and menu updates to share, so let’s get to it!
We are HUGE fans of Beaches & Cream over at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts.
It’s back!
And although we’ve enjoyed meals there, it’s really ALL about the great ice cream treats you can get. But as it’s often difficult to get a reservation at Beaches & Cream, we liked the convenience of the To-Go window. But that window has been closed since last year. And Disney even went to great lengths to keep guests from even noticing it was there!
More and more Disneyland spots are reopening!
It’s back!
Today, we stopped by the newly reopened Hearthstone Lounge at Disney’s Grand Californian Resort to see how it was!
If you’re heading to Disney World next week, you’ll want to be aware of some rides and attractions that are going to be closed!

We’ve got a list for ya to see what’s scheduled to be closed for refurbishment in the Disney Parks this coming week!
