food IS a theme park
A lot of exciting things are happening in Disney World, especially at Disney World hotels.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
At Disney’s BoardWalk Resort, a new sweets shop and restaurant is on its way. Over at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, rooms are getting re-themed. And at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, new Disney Vacation Club villas are being constructed. But what will those villa rooms look like? Well, here’s what we know.
Sure, we love a morning visit to the Disney parks; the feeling of walking through the World Showcase with a fresh croissant in hand is pretty unbeatable. But hitting the parks when the sun goes down is one of our (many) FAVORITE things to do! Between the incredible nighttime fireworks shows and Disney’s fan-favorite Fantasmic! show (which takes place on both coasts), Disney knows how to put on a show — even when the sun goes down!
Disneyland is beautiful at night!
Speaking of nighttime entertainment, one of our DFB readers shared a video from a recent Fantasmic! performance that you need to SEE to believe!
Disney World is changing all the time, and some of those changes mean that certain rides, attractions, and restaurants have to CLOSE for a while.
You have to be on your toes to plan a trip to Disney World!
Before you head out the door on your next Disney World trip, you’ll want to know what’s NOT going to be available while you’re there. Check out everything that’s going to be closed in Disney World next week here!
It’s been a pretty wild week for Disney news!
Magic Kingdom
Disney World Annual Passes are on sale again after being paused for quite some time (and all pass types are still available!). We also got some major Halloween news about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party including when you can buy tickets, the cheapest dates, and how TRON will work during the party. Even though Disney news has been busy, the parks seemed to have mellowed out when it comes to wait times.
The flowers are sprouting, and our seasonal allergies are acting up. That can only mean one thing: springtime has officially arrived. Speaking of spring, one of our favorite springtime holidays is happening NOW — it’s Earth Day! In Disney World, we’ve seen everyone from Disney Springs to Disney’s Animal Kingdom get involved in the festivities.
King Louie and Baloo came to celebrate Earth Day!
Today we’re back to visit a Disney World hotel serving a fun little Earth Day treat. Who’s hungry?
Whether you’re a Walt Disney World novice or an expert, there are always interesting tidbits to learn about the Most Magical Place on Earth!
Bonjour! Village Gifts
When we’re wandering the parks to bring you the latest updates, we love to take in the creative elements that make Disney World so special. And today we’re sharing a fascinating detail about the Magic Kingdom.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is celebrating its 25th Anniversary today!
Whoever designed the 25th Anniversary logo deserves a BIG high-five!
We’ve been in the park ALL DAY checking out all the new offerings on this special occasion — the new meet and greets, snacks, and so much more. If you’re looking for some new merchandise to commemorate this celebration, we’ve got a full list of ALL the merchandise you can get!
Little by little, we’ve been learning more about the upcoming live-action remake of Disney’s Lilo & Stitch movie. While everyone curiously awaits a first look at the live-action adaptation of Stitch, we’ve been wondering how the new plot will differ from the original! Clearly, there are still a lot of unknowns when it comes to the production of this new movie.
Lilo is so much fun!
So far, we know that Disney has cast several characters in the live-action remake, including Lilo, Nani, and David! As you may notice, though, there’s one pretty important name missing from the list: STITCH!
It’s always bittersweet when fan-favorite restaurants close at the Disney parks.
Catal Restaurant
It’s definitely disappointing to say goodbye to some favorite menu items and some beloved restaurant theming. Often, though, these restaurants disappear to make room for something new and exciting! Two Disneyland restaurants closed FOR GOOD last week to make room for an all-new restaurant space. Ready to check it out?
Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase! We’re all about Hakuna Matata today, too, while we’re celebrating both Earth Day AND the 25th anniversary of Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Animal Kingdom
There is SO much going on in Animal Kingdom to celebrate both, too. We’ve already met Moana, who started greeting guests in Animal Kingdom this morning. We’ve also started checking out those Earth Day/Anniversary treats, because, well, FOOD. Plus we’ve picked up Disney World’s newest popcorn bucket.
