food IS a theme park
Although EPCOT is getting a lot of attention during the Festival of the Arts, Hollywood Studios has a lot going on, too! From major new perks coming to the park to a lying milkshake, there’s been a lot to talk about over at Hollywood Studios lately.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Today, we’re rounding some of the newest things you can find at Hollywood Studios! Let’s dive in!
Hello from Walt Disney World!
Mood: Tree of Life on a sunny day
It’s the end of January, so you would think the parks wouldn’t be very crowded, right? WRONG! We saw some big crowds this week in Disney World and we were very confused. But, did those crowds lead to long wait times around the parks? Let’s take a look!
At DFB, we LOVE Disney World’s plastic cheese. You know, that golden, plastic-looking cheese that comes with Mickey pretzels and corn dog nuggets. It’s the kind of cheese that isn’t necessarily the world’s finest cheese, but it does exactly what it needs to do. What can we say — it’s a classic! And while you won’t find us disparaging plastic cheese very often, we do feel obligated to inform you that there is a HUGE difference between plastic cheese and beer cheese.
Plastic Cheese is a favorite of ours!
Ok, so what’s with all the cheese talk? Well, the latest victim of Disney’s supply issues seems to be cheese. Let’s investigate what’s going on!
The first month of 2022 is coming to a close, so it’s time to recap the best and worst things we tried in January around Disney World!
EPCOT Festival of the Arts
January is one of the months of the year where we try a ton of new dishes at the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, so there were some top (and bottom) picks that you’ll find on this month’s list. But there were a few additional items we wanted to make sure we included as well! Let’s dive in and review the food and drink items that stood out to us from this past month, for better or for worse.
We would live at Disney World if we could!
Magic Kingdom!
Well, some people on our team live in Orlando, but we’re talking INSIDE the Disney parks day in and day out. Like breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the parks, and then going to sleep on the hub grass, trying to tune out the faint sound of the ‘it’s a small world’ animatronics, churning away in the night. Unfortunately, Disney has a problem with people living in the parks, which is understandable, but we want more park time! Sure there’s Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours, but if you’re not staying at a Disney resort, then these aren’t available to you. Well, gather ’round friends, because we just noticed some of the parks changed their hours for February and March, and we’ve got all the details
Part of planning a Disney World trip is knowing which rides and attractions you want to visit while you’re there. There are all kinds of options, including shows, roller coasters, boat rides, and more.
Walt Disney World Railroad
Sometimes these attractions will be unavailable for a while when Disney is working on some refurbishments or improvements on them. To make sure you know what to expect before your trip, we made a list of everything that will be closed in Disney World next week. Check it out so that you aren’t caught off guard during your vacation! [Read more…]
Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew in Disney Springs, since its opening just a year ago (it feels like it’s been around for way longer, maybe because we love it so much!), has been serving up delicious, creative donuts and cold brew. However, there’s more to this spot than the average donut or coffee: the seasonal flavors, donut breakfast sandwiches, and loaded fries have blown us away at this Disney Springs spot.
Everglazed Donuts and Cold Brew
Today, we’re taking a look at a new limited-time flavor that’s perfect for the Valentine’s Day season!
Disney’s infamous supply chain issues strike again! We’ve seen everything from holiday collection Minnie ears to ornaments showing up around the parks and resorts lately, and we have a feeling all this Christmas-themed merchandise was meant to be released back in December… Either way, we’re always happy to see something new in Disney World!
Hey, Chewy!
Today, during our visit to EPCOT, we found a new Star Wars-themed mug!
Listen here, friends: it is COLD in Florida right now! We’re not even talking a little chill or a cool breeze…our reporters have been FREEZING in the parks. If you’re planning a trip to Disney World in the next week, you might not be prepared for the cold temperatures, which is why we’re here to help!
It’s been COLD!
Don’t underestimate the sunny state of Florida — this winter is no joke! While you probably won’t need your snow pants or your thermal underwear, you should still pack some jackets and be prepared to layer up! Now, let’s take a look at next week’s weather forecast in Disney World!
We’ve got to hand it to ya, Disney. You’re KILLING it with the Disney+ content! Between all the new Star Wars movies and shows and the EPIC Marvel series like WandaVision and Loki, there’s constantly something new to check out!
