food IS a theme park
Pixar, Pixar, Pixar: you’re keeping us busy here at the DFB! With the fabulous grand opening of Pixar Pier at Disneyland Resort and the barely-out-of-the-box Toy Story Land that just opened at Walt Disney World, we’re on Pixar overload (and WE LOVE IT).
Heading to the Incredicoaster
in Disney Springs is our go-to destination for delicious Burgers, Hand-Cut Fries, a variety of Dipping Sauces, and Gelato Shakes!
Plus, you’ll find a Mobile Order Secret Menu at D-Luxe Burger that features FIVE items you won’t find on the regular menu!

And now, there’s a NEW Seasonal Burger on the menu that you’re gonna want to try! [Read more…]
If you’re one of the many, MANY people who are taking in all the sights of Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you’re going to need to recharge your batteries at some point, as we TOYS say! Enter Woody’s Lunch Box! This Quick Service spot is ca-razy fun, with clever details everywhere you look.
Woody’s Lunch Box
We’ve tried EVERYTHING on the menu, and a few things more than once (hello TOTCHOS 👀), but unless you’ve got a bottomless stomach (or several TSL visits planned!), you’ll need to narrow that menu down to the MUST EATS. So here ya go, cowboys and cowgirls — the Five Things You HAVE to Eat in Toy Story Land!
Summertime is HERE!
That means lazy afternoons at the pool, reading a good book, and planning your big vacay! And we’re helping you celebrate our favorite vacation season with an incredible sale at the DFB Store!

Pixar is firing on all cylinders on both coasts — at Pixar Pier and Pixar Fest in Disneyland Resort and with the impending grand opening of Toy Story Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World! (We’ve had a blast there at the Media Preview today!) Even the Resorts in Walt Disney World are getting in on the action.
Remember that amazing Toy Story themed mousse brownie we highlighted a few days ago? That was the first of the most adorable set of Toy Story Goodies we’ve seen this side of Andy’s Backyard!

Enter Beach Club Marketplace and its completely adorable, utterly delicious, ridiculously awesome Toy Story Cookie Dough Cake Pops!!
Toy Story Cookie Dough Cake Pops
Yup, you read that correctly: Cookie. Dough. Cake. Pops. And they are so good. First of all, we love the designs: the iconic cloud wallpaper (spot that Hidden Mickey!), the Pixar Ball, and Woody’s plaid shirt and sheriff’s badge! [Read more…]
Among the outstanding dining experiences in Epcot’s France Pavilion at Walt Disney World is a L’Artisan des Glaces, the pavilion’s quick service ice cream and sorbet spot.
This charming little (and we do mean little) shop used to be France’s pastry shop Boulangerie Patisserie, which was replaced, relocated, and renamed Boulangerie Patisserie Les Halles about five years ago.

But what L’Artisan des Glaces lacks in space, it more than makes up for in quality.
Guess what’s glowing on at Disney World’s Typhoon Lagoon water park this summer?

Glowing beverages are among the snacking highlights at this new special nighttime event hosted by Partysaurus Rex and his friends from Toy Story. Take a look! [Read more…]
Purchasing the Disney Dining Plan (or scoring free DDP!) for your Walt Disney World vacation can mean real value for your vacation dining — but some uses of those Disney Dining Plan credits (officially called entitlements) are better than others.
Cinderella Castle Views
This time, it’s all about the one-credit table service Disney Dining Plan! We scour menus to try to find the monetary values, but we also consider food quality and the atmosphere in which guests dine. Because it doesn’t matter how much money you’re saving by using your credits if the restaurant’s environment and food are duds.
Easily one of the most spectacular restaurants in terms of decor and ambiance, Morimoto Asia in Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs also offers tremendous value. But the best part? The food is outstanding!
Orange Chicken
Dinner at Morimoto Asia is a signature affair and requires two DDP credits, but for 2018, lunch remains one credit — and it’s a credit very well spent! Some entrees here cost nearly $40, and there are plenty of options for alcoholic beverages if you’re looking to up your value even further.
Ho Ho Ho! This is your friendly reminder that CHRISTMAS IS COMING.
And nope. I haven’t bought a single present, either. But here’s the deal. We’re almost to that magical mark: 180 days until Christmas. And trust us — if you want to have your choice of where you’d like to dine to celebrate the Holidays, then you’d better be ready on Thursday to make the call. [Read more…]
