food IS a theme park
Hello, DFB friends! We’re back at another Disney World resort!
Outdoor Christmas Decorations
We took a walk around Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa to see what’s new! So here are the latest updates!
Hello, DFB friends!
Main Street
We spent a day at Magic Kingdom and then popped over to the nearby Monorail Resorts to see what’s new. The list is short, but there are SOME updates, so let’s get going!
Here at DFB, we’re suckers for a fun cupcake!
Thanksgiving Cupcake
Holiday cupcakes are especially fun! This season we’ve had a peppermint cupcake, a cupcake with a hidden Mickey, an Olaf cupcake, and a red velvet wreath cupcake, to name a few. We’re pretty much always down to try a new cupcake, and today we tried an eggnog one!
We’ve been very busy eating all the holiday snacks and drinking all the holiday drinks all over Disney World!
Red Velvet Wreath Cupcake
But some of our favorite treats have involved peppermint, because peppermint is the flavor of the holidays! So we’ve been eating peppermint churros and chocolate peppermint bark, while drinking peppermint chocolate beer and a peppermint kiss drink.
There are lots of great options in Disney World for plant-based eaters!
Vegan Hot Chocolate
Recently, we’ve seen vegan lobster, a vegan churro and chocolate cupcake, and a few vegan cake bars! Erin McKenna’s Bakery in Disney Springs is a great spot to visit if you’re a plant-based or gluten-free eater. Last year, Disney even made a huge push to include plant-based options on all their menus! Now, we’ve spotted a new sweet treat everyone can love.
We’ve got a Disney transportation update!
Disney Springs Buses
Though park-to-park transportation won’t return until 2021, we have an update for you that kicks in in just TWO DAYS! As crowds appear for the holiday season, we’ll see an extension to the Disney Springs bus service!
It’s a VERY busy day in Disney World today as the holiday weekend continues and EPCOT’s Festival of the holidays begins!
2020 Taste of EPCOT Festival of the Holidays
But, while we’re up to our eyeballs in holly and jolly over in EPCOT, we’re taking a break from the festival to head over to one of our favorite spots at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
There’s really no way around it: a vacation to Disney World is pricey when you include flights, theme park tickets, accommodations, and of course all the spending that happens in the parks and resorts.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
Luckily, there are still a select amount of things that are still absolutely FREE in Disney World. And if you know about these things and use them strategically, you CAN end up saving a few valuable bucks.
We’re just going to come right out and say it…we LOVE bread.
Pumpkin Bread
Whether it be bread service at Sanaa, bread pudding at the Polynesian Resort, or our beloved School Bread in the Norway pavilion, we’re pretty much always down to eat some bread. In fact, we love bread so much that this year, we made a gift guide dedicated to the bread lover in your life! Today we got the chance to try a different kind of bread — a German Christmas bread — and we’re excited to share our thoughts!
Here at DFB, we love a good cupcake!
Menagerie Cupcake
We’ve tasted A LOT of cupcakes over the years, and we like to think of ourselves as experts in the Disney cupcake world. Just recently, we’ve reviewed the Menagerie Cupcake, the Twice Upon a Christmas Cupcake, the Olaf’s Snow Flurry cupcake, AND the Simba cupcake. That’s a lot of cupcakes! But now, another holiday cupcake has returned to Walt Disney World, and you know we had to try it!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
