food IS a theme park
Are you waiting for Grim Grinning Ghosts to come out and socialize? Me too!
And in honor of this spook-tacular time of year, we wanted to offer you a little something extra — and it’s way more TREAT than trick!
(Look at this crazy graphic that photographer and graphic designer Tina made! We have such talented people at DFB!!!)

We’ve all been eagerly gathering any and all details about Toy Story Land opening in Disney’s Hollywood Studios next summer. We know that we will all shrink to the size of one of Andy’s toys, take on THE CLAW with the Alien Swirling Saucers attraction, and coast along on the Slinky Dog Dash family coaster.

But one thing we’ve heard very little about are the food options coming to this new land…. but that has all changed today, with Disney’s announcement that Woody’s Lunch Box will be serving up Quick Service eats to all of us “toys” visiting Toy Story Land! [Read more…]
If you follow our Disneyland correspondent Heather Sievers on her Instagram, you know she’s got a bit of a thing for the Haunted Mansion. (And hey, don’t we all 🙂 ? )
Well, lucky for us, Heather’s friends and family treated her right for her recent birthday by ordering a totally epic specialty cake for her birthday dinner at Napa Rose at the Grand Californian Resort in Disneyland.
It’s the Haunted Mansion-themed cake, and It. Is. EVERYTHING.
Haunted Mansion Cake
Let’s just break this thing down for a minute. First is the perfectly eerie purple frosting with black Haunted Mansion wallpaper accents and Haunted Mansion-approved script, written by some of the greatest ghost writers the literary world has ever known, I presume… [Read more…]
The Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic is about to kick off this weekend! The 8th annual Classic takes place on October 27th and 28th, and we’ve told you all about what you can expect from The Causeway — that’s the main area of the Classic where food booths extend as far as the eye can see. The food! The drinks! The unlimited snacking (depending on your ticket)! We look forward to it every year.
Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic
But there are a few special areas of the Classic that are a little off the beaten…causeway. The Beer Garden, Chinatown, and Carnival Corner are fun additions to the event! And while The Beer Garden requires an add-on to your Causeway Ticket, Chinatown and Carnival Corner are included at no extra charge!
Ticket holders for the event will enjoy the activities on Friday, October 27, and/or Saturday, October 28, 2017, from 5:30PM to 9PM. As in the past, there are several ticket options, which you can find on the event website. The Causeway Ticket provides unlimited access to food and drinks along the Causeway between the two resorts. The Causeway Ticket and Beer Garden ticket allows access to the unlimited Causeway offerings as well as the Beer Garden. There are also a la carte tickets, tickets for seminars, and a Sunday Bubbles Brunch.
But first, here’s why you might want to tack on that Beer Garden option…
This area is a ticket add-on costing attendees an extra $25. Located under the cover of trees on Crescent Terrace, The Beer Garden also offers up extra food in addition to the Garden’s several local and seasonal beer varieties and one or more hard ciders. Guests also get a souvenir plastic glass. [Read more…]
In this spookiest of seasons, you may crave some sweets served up with a side of… evil. So now through Halloween, you’ll find three Disney Villain-themed desserts at Sunshine Seasons in The Land Pavilion in Epcot!
