food IS a theme park
Here at Disney Food Blog, we’re Disney experts who are at Disney theme parks, hotels, or cruises 24/7.
We’re Disney-ready!
Here are some of our favorite theme park and travel essentials that make your trip 10x easier. And the best part? They’re up to 40% off, with some of our favorites less than $10! We have an essential for every budget.
We are always looking out for the best tips and tricks to make travel easier and more comfortable! Especially for super long flights.
Airplane travel
Air New Zealand might have just introduced something that will completely change the plane travel game. Let’s dive in!
When it comes to walking miles and miles around Disney World, it’s SUPER important to make sure you have the best shoes that work for you.
HOKA Clifton 10
Some of the most popular shoes on the market are HOKAs and New Balances, and then there comes the question: how do you decide what works best for you? Well, that’s a question only you can answer, since everyone’s feet are built differently (what works for a family member may not work for you!), but we’ve had NUMEROUS members of our team try out tons of different shoes in the parks, specifically New Balances and HOKA shoes, and when it comes down to which is best, our findings may surprise you.
Bluey merch here, Bluey merch there, Bluey merch is everywhere!
Bluey and Bingo
It’s a big year for Bluey in 2026! The beloved canine just debuted at Disneyland. Next month, Bluey will be coming to Disney World for the first time. Now, Disney dropped a first look at tons of new merchandise featuring Bluey, Bingo, and the family, coming to the Disney Parks AND online!
With so many construction projects happening in Disney World right now, there are patents coming out like WILD.
Expedition Everest
Don’t worry, we’re keeping track of them all so you don’t have to! This most recent patent, though? Well, this isn’t totally what we were expecting to see, but this new patent could reveal some interesting technology changes throughout the parks. While there’s no confirmation just yet on where this patent could potentially be applied, it’s for sure that it WOULD change how things work in the parks!
Sure, we’re all about Disney World food here at DFB, but you know what’s basically like Disney World? Costco. Okay, obviously they’re not the same, but we love stopping by Costco to see what’s new — especially at their food court.
Our personal heaven!
When we went to Costco today, we saw that they had a new churro ice cream sundae added to their food court menu! So obviously, we had to try it. The only thing better than Disney food is Costco food!
Summer is just a few short weeks away, and it’ll be here before we know it (considering we somehow blinked after New Year’s Day and it’s already APRIL, like what the heck).
AMKEN Waist Fan
With that being said, if you’re heading to the parks this summer and are concerned about making sure you’ve got all the essentials, first of all, look at you thinking ahead! You’re crushing it already. And two, allow us to tell you about one of our favorites that you’re 100% going to be thankful you have when that summer sun is beating down on you — we just suggest you snag it before it’s gone!
Nostalgia is hard to fight, and although we love all the new changes that have come to Disney World (and the changes that are on the way), we’ll admit that we sometimes miss the way things used to be.
Osborne Spectacle of Dancing Lights
Back in the day, Disney’s Hollywood Studios was Disney-MGM Studios, and we remember that time with fondness. Remember the giant Sorcerer’s Hat at the front of the park? How about The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights during the holidays? Remember when kids could make their way through the Honey, I Shrunk The Kids Movie Set Adventure? Well, if you’re looking to relive those days, we’ve got good news: you can with a little help from Google Earth.
Hurricane season in Disney World is no joke, and it has a way of turning a magical park day into a soggy scramble fast.
Silicone Waterproof Shoe Covers
From sudden downpours to hours of steady rain, the weather can shift quickly in Central Florida, especially from June through November. The good news is that a little preparation goes a long way, and the right gear can keep your day on track instead of sending you back to the hotel. Here are seven essentials that can seriously upgrade your Disney World experience during hurricane season.
Ok, we love going to Disney World to try out different foods, check on the parks for updates, and look at new merchandise. However, we never signed up for getting nightmares in the process!
The Polite Pig
If you’ve been following us at DFB, you know we like to check out The Polite Pig from time to time. We’ve done a few different food reviews there, and it’s a pretty good dining spot that you’ll find at Disney Springs. Well, we’re questioning if we can ever step foot in there again without getting jumpscared (this is TOTALLY not an over exaggeration…)!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
