food IS a theme park
Hello, DFB friends! We spent a day at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, as well as at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge!
Animal Kingdom
So what’s new since the last we visited these two locations? Keep reading to find out!
We spend a lot of time staring at menus at Disney World, mostly because we’re obsessed with food, but also because we like to know when new stuff shows up!
German Beer Flight
We do the same for drinks, too — because drink menus seem to change more than food menus and new drinks are ALWAYS turning up! So when we see something new, we try it out!
When it comes to holiday flavors, most of us agree that things like peppermint, chocolate, and even pumpkin are DELICIOUS.
Chocolate Peppermint Creme Brulee
But one holiday flavor has often proved quite controversial: eggnog. It seems that when it comes to eggnog, you either love it or you hate it! [Read more…]
Earlier today, Disney announced that 3 restaurants will soon be reopening in Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
The Crystal Palace
One of the spots that will be welcoming guests again soon is The Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom. Although the characters will be “taking a break” from greeting guests at this restaurant, it will still be open soon for guests to enjoy and will be serving meals family-style, a change from its previous buffet-style meal. But the REALLY exciting news is that we JUST got a look at the new family-style lunch & dinner menu and we’re excited to share it all with you!
When most people think about buying clothes at Disney World, they’ve got t-shirts on their mind.
Tees Section
However, Disney has also been known to create some stunning options for guests who like to dress a little fancier! Just recently, we’ve seen them release a gorgeous holiday dress, a dress based on Ratatouille, and a beautiful dress modeled after the Tower of Terror. Now we have another frock to add to the collection, and this one comes with a matching purse!
Star Wars fans, we’ve got GOOD news (but prepare your wallets).
Droid Depot
Recently, Disney introduced Star Wars Trading Post, an offering in Downtown Disney, Disney Springs, and online that lets folks buy Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge merchandise OUTSIDE of the parks. Now, another round of merch is coming to the Trading Posts!
BREAKING NEWS! Okay, maybe not really, but you’ve gotta LOOK AT WHAT WE’RE ABOUT TO SHOW YOU.
Beauty and the Beast Topiary
OMG. We met these two sweet pups in Magic Kingdom today and we just HAD to show them to you. These two service dogs were on the job and they got spruced up in their Beauty and the Beast-inspired best!
What does it mean when someone has on their eating pants AND their walking shoes? They just might be headed to Disney World for Turkey Day!
Thanksgiving Cupcake
Thanksgiving is next week and lots of folks will be spending the thankful time with family and friends in The Most Magical Place on Earth. We’ve covered loads of spots you can eat your holiday meal in the World, and now you might have more options that fit in your plans — Disney just refilled next week’s Park Passes!
Disney is really great at making beautiful things out of gingerbread!
Grand Floridian Gingerbread Houses
In years past, they’ve made gigantic gingerbread houses for display at the resorts, and while that isn’t happening this year, they’ve made several smaller creations for us to admire! We spotted a gingerbread and chocolate sculpture at the Grand Floridian, a gingerbread model of Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and now, we’ve spotted a very cute gingerbread carousel at Disney’s Beach Club Resort!
Planning your next trip to Walt Disney World? There are a LOT of things you need to keep in mind, including recent changes like the upcoming reintroduction of Park Hopping!
Tower of Terror
But, one thing you’ll also want to watch out for are the parks’ hours. We’ve seen these change quite a bit over the past few weeks and months. If you’re planning a trip for late January or early February of 2021, more park hours have been released that can help you plan!
