food IS a theme park
St. Patrick’s Day has hit Disney World full force today!
Petals Pool Bar
So far, we’ve tried a sweet and sour cocktail, a drink that looks more like Christmas, and more, but now we’ve got yet ANOTHER green cocktail to try!
March is about to be one BUSY month in Disney World as Spring Break is just around the corner. And on top of that, the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival recently kicked off.
Flower and Garden
Now, we’re taking a look at the hotel and ticket discounts being offered in Disney World in March! Please note that some of these are the same deals we reported to you in January and February (but we still want you to have the opportunity to snag them in March too)!
Typically, a few Disney attractions are closed at any given time for scheduled maintenance.
Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse
Here at DFB, we like to make sure you’re EXTRA prepared for your Disney trip — and that means knowing which attractions will be closed! So here’s the refurbishment update for Disney World from March 8th through March 14th.
Even though we were convinced that 2020 would last forever, we’re now three months into 2021!
Hollywood Studios
This year has been pretty eventful in Disney World so far, with several policy changes, lots of construction, and plenty of new offerings. We’ve been looking out for all the latest Disney news, and if you’re planning on traveling to the parks and resorts in March, there are quite a few things you need to know about!
There are a LOT of changes going on in Disney World ahead of the 50th Anniversary.
Polynesian Lobby
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, for instance, is currently undergoing a MAJOR refurbishment to the Great Ceremonial House lobby, the monorail station, and the guest rooms. Did you know the rooms are getting a Moana theme? And now we know WHEN we’ll be returning to stay at the improved Polynesian!
In 2020, the opening of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort was delayed as some major construction was announced for the resort.

As part of this construction the hotel is getting a redesigned entryway, changes are being made to the hotel’s monorail station, AND the hotel rooms are getting a Moana-inspired makeover! We’ve already seen Moana taking over the hotel in some ways. But, today we’ve finally gotten a FIRST LOOK at the new Moana-inspired rooms and they are GORGEOUS!
We’re taking a stroll down Disney’s BoardWalk, and stopping for lunch at Big River Grille & Brewing Works!
Big River Grille & Brewing Works on the BoardWalk!
This restaurant reopened not too long ago, and we thought it would be an excellent time to stop by, nosh on some classic bar food, and people-watch on the BoardWalk. It’s been a while since we’ve stopped by and dined here, partly because our last experience was less-than-exciting. But with different menu items and a stellar location, has Big River finally moved up our list? Let’s find out.
The Grand Floridian Bakery has done it again, y’all!
The Grand Floridian
The Cast Members at the Grand Floridian Bakery are truly artists. We’ve been inspired by some of the work they’ve created, which include chocolate sculptures of Cinderella Castle and the Grand Floridian gingerbread house. They are genuine masters of their craft.
Big news for Disney’s Aulani Resort!

Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa has been welcoming guests back to Oahu with exclusive travel perks, sweet savings, and NEW character meet and greets! But if we needed ANOTHER reason to want to chill on a beach in Hawaii, some entertainment is returning, too. [Read more…]
February might have been a short month, but a LOT has happened at Disney World dining locations!
Gideon’s Bakehouse
There have been some over the top donuts, a lot of new boozy drinks, the coconut pineapple soft-serve swirl of our dreams, and even some new entrees. And we’re compiling the whole list here so you can stay up to date on all the restaurant menu updates at Disney World in February!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
