food IS a theme park
We’re at the start of a brand new week, and we think that’s a great reason to treat yourself!
Hippy Dippy Area
Everything POP is also bringing back two menu items that are worth the carb overload.
As we start putting on our best witch hats à la the Sanderson Sisters, Halloween isn’t complete without a trip to the Haunted Mansion in Disney World.
The Haunted Mansion Graveyard
Even though you want to make sure those Hitchhiking Ghosts don’t follow you home, you’re going to want to take these ornaments with you instead!
We ran into some difficulties when trying to make a reservation for Chef Mickey’s.
Chef Mickey’s
Since Chef Mickey’s first reopened back in July, several experiences at the restaurant have been operating differently than prior to the closure — including a switch from buffet-style dining to family-style meals, and the lack of characters at the restaurant. However, Disney has announced that characters will be returning to Chef Mickey’s on December 16th, and reservations for character dining were set to open for character dining today.
As you might have heard, there’s been some pretty big news for Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! This monorail loop hotel is getting a BIG refurbishment and won’t officially reopen until next summer!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Part of this refurbishment includes a rework of all of the guest rooms to include a Moana theme. We’re already excited for when the final product is revealed next summer and things are already underway. Now, Disney has filed a BUNCH of permits on the guest buildings at Polynesian and they might have to do with the refurb!
Disney World reopened months ago, but many hotels and restaurants have remained closed or partially open. The original reopening date for the latest resort was supposed to be October 14th, but Disney recently pushed it back to October 16th.
Coronado Springs
Now, you can add Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort to your list of reopened Disney World spots!
Much like the shorter days and the changing leaves, nothing signals the arrival of the fall season quite like the Pumpkin Spice Latte. But what if we were to tell you that Disney World has a few seasonal treats that are SO yummy, SO iconic, and SO autumnal, that it would inspire you to ditch your PSL altogether?
PSL & Cinderella Castle…what could be better?
Today, we’re giving a shout-out to five standout seasonal treats that we think rank right up there with everyone’s favorite fall beverage from Starbucks.
It’s hasn’t been too long since Disney World added the Mobile Dine Walk-Up Waitlist feature to the My Disney Experience app.
Three Bridges Bar & Grill at Villa del Lago
But we’ve already seen SO many restaurants with the feature, with new ones getting added often! Thanks to this new option, we can now get on the waitlist for places like Cinderella’s Royal Table, Oga’s Cantina, Le Cellier Steakhouse, Nomad Lounge, and more!
You know, the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival isn’t the only Food & Wine event to get excited about in Disney World. Unfortunately, like many other events, the much-loved Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic annual event was canceled this year due to the global health crisis.
Sip, Savor & Stay Saturday
In its place though, the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin have put on the new Sip, Savor, & Stay Saturdays, including the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic: Limited Edition — and now we have the menu!
Yoo-hoo! It’s us again (your friendly neighborhood Disney blog) to remind you that our DFB contest is still happening live on our Instagram RIGHT NOW!
Disney Food Blog Face Masks
Our readers are some of the most creative people that we know, so we gave all of you the opportunity to design face masks that could be featured on the DFB Store! While we’ve been coming up with fun designs featuring the Disney Princesses or our favorite snacks (plastic cheese is a food group and you can’t convince us otherwise), we want to see what you’re able to dream up for the next DFB face masks.
All of the Disney theme parks around the world are now open and welcoming guests except for the parks at Disneyland Resort.
Disneyland Main Entrance
Governor Newsom has already sent a team to view the policies in place at Disney World, and soon a team will visit Disneyland as well, but we have still not seen a finalized version of the theme park reopening guidelines.
