food IS a theme park
Hey there friends, we’re back with a new DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news.
EPCOT
Disney World comments on Florida moving to Phase 3 of reopenings, park hours are extended, and more entertainment is returning to the parks though many employees are awaiting further information following the announcement of company-wide layoffs.
When it comes to Disney merchandise, we’ve seen some pretty fancy options in the past!
Heidi Klum Ears
From designer Minnie Ears to massive MagicBand collections, Disney merch can get pretty pricy. But hey, it doesn’t hurt to (virtually) window-shop, right?? At least, that’s what we’re telling ourselves after spotting these GORGEOUS Disney figurines online!
Now that October is finally here, it’s the perfect time to start celebrating the spooky season, and now, we have a brand new way to spiff up our computers, phones, and Instagram stories.

The Mickey pumpkins have finally made their way to Main Street, the weather is getting cooler, and Halloween is officially just weeks away, so what better time to make our phone wallpaper and computer wallpaper match the festive feelings in our hearts?
It’s the little things, right? And now, Disney is making it super easy with brand new parks-themed digital art that includes our favorite characters — and they also involve a touch of the Haunted Mansion. You can use these as backgrounds or wallpapers to spook up your devices for the season!

The Year of The Mouse promotion introduces a new Mickey plush every month, and October’s plush has us singing, “Who’s the leader of the club that’s made for you and me?”
Character dining has started to return to spots like Hollywood and Vine in Hollywood Studios and we’ve seen characters make very brief appearances in Cinderella’s Royal Table and Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom.

But, the character dining experience is very much modified from what it used to be in Disney World.
It’s hard NOT to totally love Lilo & Stitch. Especially Stitch, that cuddly lil rascal!

We also LOVE the central message of the movie, which is that “Ohana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.”
With the Halloween season rolling in, there are plenty of spooky treats around the parks.
Tiramisu
For those of you who can’t make it out to Disney World for Halloween time, we’ve got the perfect scary recipe for you! Introducing, Monsters, Inc. Pop Tarts!
Since Disney+ premiered, we’ve been treated to all kinds of incredible content like The Mandalorian, The Imagineering Story, Howard: The Howard Ashman Story, and so much more.

But, the fun isn’t over yet! There are TONS of new shows, movies, shorts, and documentaries coming soon to Disney+.
It’s hard to believe that Disney’s Fantasia turns 80 this year! But even now, watching the movie is a truly magical experience.
EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival
We’ve already seen some merch dedicated to the anniversary, including a Dooney & Bourke Fantasia collection, but now Funko is getting in on the action with some brand new Pops!
What’s not to love about cupcakes? They’re one of our favorite sweet treats here at DFB!
Sprinkles Entrance
So we obviously love going to Sprinkles at Disney Springs and Downtown Disney to try new flavors when they come out. And Sprinkles is bringing out some tasty — and spooky — cupcakes for the month of October!
