food IS a theme park
In Disney World, you don’t have to look very far to find adorable merchandise.
Marketplace Co-Op
In a sea of endless Minnie Ears and Spirit Jerseys, there are also a bunch of other items in Disney World that you can use outside of the parks in everyday life!
It’s officially spring, and that means we’re seeing a lot of updates on restaurant menus, as well as ALL kinds of spring snacks!
New sangria? We’re there!
We’ve been eating a lot of treats with bunnies AND Peeps on them, and we’ve been tasting our way through some drinks all over Disney World.
It’s no secret that we LOVE Gideon’s Bakehouse, and we head over to the Disney Springs location almost every chance we get!
Inside one of our favorite cookie and cake spots!
And we’ve had so many yummy treats there, including a Coffee Cake Cookie, a PB Chocolate Swirl Cookie, and a slice of Hazelnut Mocha Cake! Earlier this week, we tried a new cookie at Gideon’s inspired by the Flavors of Florida. Now, we’re trying a cake slice that also celebrates Floridian flavors!
Just like that, the month of March has come to a close! It has been quite a wild month, from the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival kicking off to TONS of theme park news (including the long-awaited reopening announcement of Disneyland!).
Spaceship Earth
Over at Disney World, it was a FULL month of food and beverages, from festivals to seasonal holiday treats to everything in between! Before we leap into April, let’s take a look back at some of the best and worst snacks we had across Disney World for the past month!
Are you missing Disney World right now?
EPCOT
If so, you’re not alone! Every time we leave the parks, we start missing them all over again. Thankfully, here at DFB, we have a great way to help relive our trip after we get home — Disney recipes! We have recipes for TONS of fan-favorite foods from around the parks on our site, and today we’re sharing some of the best recipes from EPCOT specifically. Let’s get cooking!
Earlier this year, Disney announced that the Jungle Cruise attraction would be undergoing some changes at both Disneyland and Disney World!
Jungle Cruise
The ride will be receiving a new storyline with new scenes along the river, unexpected scenarios, and an expanded backstory focusing on Alberta Falls, the proprietor of the Jungle Navigation Company Ltd. Now, some more updates about the changes coming to this attraction have been revealed!
Today, we stopped by Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge to check out a restaurant that recently extended its hours!
Animal Kingdom Lodge
The Mara was previously only open for breakfast, but now it’s back to offering dinner! We made a quick visit and grabbed some dessert along the way. Surprised? You shouldn’t be.
Animal Kingdom has been serving up so many new treats this week.
Animal Kingdom…new treat hub?
Some of the snacks we tried in the park were serious hits — we’re looking at you, Everest Base Camp Macaroon. Today, we headed over to Pandora — The World of Avatar to get a taste of a new, boozy drink they’re mixing up.
Disney artists create some pretty awesome things. We’ve watched them create realistic-looking chalk art in real-time and even paint portraits of Mickey ridiculously quickly.
Tree of Life
Earlier this year, we saw artists turn a 40-ton pile of sand into a sculpture dedicated to Raya and the Last Dragon. And it was so incredible, we’re still wondering how they did it. Now, we’ve got another sand creation to marvel at in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
A number of restaurants all around Disney World are still closed, operating under limited hours, or have a more limited menu than they did prior to the park closures.
Such a Beautiful Lobby Over at Jambo House!
But, if you’re looking to grab dinner at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, you can FINALLY stop by another one of their restaurants!
