food IS a theme park
Disneyland has seen a number of changes over the past few months, and more are on their way!
Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland
There are all kinds of 100th Anniversary snacks, merchandise items, and more at the Resort now, plus a new exhibit Haunted Mansion fans won’t want to miss. But if you’re a Star Wars fan, there’s MORE fun in store.
Here at DFB, we’ve tried a LOT of meals in Disney World restaurants.
Steakhouse 71
We’ve had countless character breakfasts, plenty of quick service lunches, and even a few signature (meaning $$$) dinners! But still, one of our favorite meals to enjoy is a delicious brunch. And if you’re a brunch aficionado like we are, then you should know that a limited-time one is returning soon.
Genie+ has changed in an important way and you need to know about it!

We’ve seen Genie+ change quite a bit since it was first introduced. Back in December, Genie+ changed so you can modify selections, which has impacted the 120-minute rule in a key way. But now another change has hit the system.
When Disney brought Bob Iger back as CEO, the company did so with a few goals in mind — one of which was being involved in choosing his successor. It’s a job Iger had once before, which didn’t end on a positive note, and speculation has been running wild about who might have what it takes to replace him.

Iger is widely regarded as being a successful leader the first time around, with fans welcoming him back with open arms the second time. It’ll take some pretty big feet to fill those shoes — or maybe two pairs of feet instead.
If you were out in EPCOT this morning, you may have seen something interesting!
EPCOT
EPCOT has been a hot spot for activity over the past few months (what else is new?!) with the Festival of the Arts, Flower and Garden Festival, and of course, everything EPCOT regularly has to offer but we spotted something we haven’t seen lately here. Check it out! [Read more…]
We’ve been busy munching on new treats in Disney World that appeared for Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day, but now even MORE new eats are coming to the parks and hotels!
Confetti Cake Lamb Pop
Spring treats have already started to arrive, and we’ve checked out the incredible Easter egg displays at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Disney’s Contemporary Resort. But there are over 25 NEW treats coming to Disney World soon, and still more are coming to Disneyland and the international Disney parks. Let’s check them all out! [Read more…]
It’s 2023 and that means we’re celebrating 100 years of The Walt Disney Company!
Sleeping Beauty Castle decorated for the 100th
In honor of the occasion, you can check out special celebrations at Disneyland Resort and new offerings coming to Disney World later this year. But if you’re eager to honor your love for Disney from home, then you can collect some of the anniversary merchandise! And now, a new group of items has dropped on shopDisney.
It’s TRON day, DFB readers!
TRON Lightcycle / Run
Even though TRON Lightcycle / Run wasn’t officially supposed to open until April 4th, Disney recently announced there would be a soft opening from now until April 2nd. You know what that means — we’re live in Magic Kingdom to bring you all the details!
Annual Passholders have lots of special perks they get in the Disney parks.
Annual Passholder magnet
Annual Passholders have an entirely separate park pass availability calendar they work off of, and they often get exclusive merchandise as well! It was announced last month that two new perks would begin this month, and that time has finally come.
There’s a LOT going on with the Walt Disney Company right now.
Cinderella Castle
Bob Iger has instituted some massive restructuring, there have been a variety of changes with the executive leadership, and more adjustments are surely on the way. Amidst all of that, Disney is in the middle of some big lawsuits — one of which involves Annual Passholders and the Park Pass system, and we’ve got some important updates about it.
