food IS a theme park
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!
Spaceship Earth
Minnie Vans are back, the cultural representative program is back, we’ve got the first look at the Guardians of the Galaxy gift shop, and MORE!
Of all the Disney World parks, Disney’s Hollywood Studios feels like it sort of gets the short end of the stick sometimes. But truthfully, there are SO MANY Quick Service treats to savor! But let’s not forget that there are some seriously beloved Table Service restaurants here, too!
Time for Some Noodles!
For proof, just ask Yelp!
There’s no shortage of things to do in Disney World!
Sorcerer Mickey Lego Statue
From all of the amazing rides, yummy treats to try, and festivals, it’s really difficult to get bored. We’re always on the lookout for fun and lesser-known activities, and today that took us over to Disney Springs. This area is full of shopping and food options, and today we went to the LEGO Store to customize our very own LEGO Minifigure!
This could be a big week for the Disney Parks.
Bob Chapek in Disney World on its 50th Anniversary
In the wake of a canceled Management Retreat due to the controversy surrounding Disney’s response to the “Don’t Say Gay” bill in Florida, CEO Bob Chapek is inviting Wall Street investors to Orlando to visit Disney World next week.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is home to several plant-based eats, including the Flying Saucer Impossible Burger at Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater, the Vegan Toasted “Lobster” Roll at Rosie’s All-American Cafe, and even the Blue and Green Milk at the Milk Stand in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
PizzeRizzo in Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Today we’re headed over to the Muppet Courtyard to try a plant-based lunch option at PizzeRizzo! The pizza here doesn’t usually impress us much. But is this spot worth a visit just for the vegan sub? You might be surprised.
Is it just us or is there just something EXTRA special about Pixar movies?
Alien from Toy Story
Some of the classic Pixar movies give us big feelings of nostalgia. Do you also cry when you think about Carl and Ellie in Up (bonus question, do you always yell SQUIRREL when you see one, like Dug?). Does Buzz and Woody’s friendship give you a case of the warm fuzzies? Do you randomly say things like “We scare because we care” just because? Well then, we’ve got something you’re going to want to know about!
Can’t make it to the parks but you want to snag the hottest Disney merchandise? Well, we’ve got great news for you!

So many of the same items you find in the theme parks are available online, with everything from 50th Anniversary products to Minnie ears to festival-specific stuff. And this week, we got a bunch of new merchandise online, so we’re sharing the full list!
We have learned a lot about EPCOT‘s new Connections Café and Eatery recently!
Sign’s up!
We now know that the new restaurant will open this spring, and the café will be a Starbucks location as well. Earlier this week, we got a new EPCOT park map that lists Connections Café and Eatery under the dining section. Today we’re learning more about the special nods to Disney’s history that you’ll see inside once this spot opens!
Have you ever participated in a runDisney event? runDisney hosts many races throughout the year, both at the Disney parks and virtually, ranging in distance from 5Ks to marathons.

This summer, like summers past, runDisney is hosting a virtual race event. And now we can show you a sneak peek at the event’s theme!
Okay, so booze and ice cream should be a match made in heaven, right?
Clarabelle’s Ice Cream
We’ve had a lot of delicious ice cream treats with alcohol, including boozy milkshakes, boozy Dole Whips, and ice cream martinis! We’ve enjoyed most of those treats…until now. 😬 We checked out some NEW boozy drinks at Disneyland that seemed promising, and one of them really delivered! But in the end, one of those drinks turned out to be very disappointing.
