food IS a theme park
Festival of the Arts menus are here, a brand‑new snack stand has blessed us with MORE SPRING ROLLS, we’ve got some exciting DFB-related news, and Disney World is already shaping up for an unforgettable summer.
Spring Rolls have arrived!
All of the latest Disney and theme park news is coming up right now on the DFB Guide.
Disney is building a brand-new Villains Land at Magic Kingdom! We’re so excited for the Disney Villains to have their spotlight. So many people are fans of the glamorous and mischievous characters, and now we get an entire land dedicated to their shenanigans. However, there is some concern about Disney, a very optimistic, bright, and happy brand, doing a dark, moody, and possibly scary(ish) land.

Dark Universe recently opened at Epic Universe, Universal Orlando’s new theme park, so Villains Land may get compared to this new land, which could make people worry that Disney won’t be able to compete. But we’re not worried about it at all! We have faith and trust in Disney. Plus, we have evidence to back up our lack of concern.
We’ve got exciting news coming from Disney World Resort, specifically Animal Kingdom, that you won’t want to miss!

Yesterday, we saw Disney file a new permit for the park that very well could be for the new Bluey experience coming to the Conservation Station later this year, and now, there’s a new casting call that caught our eye, too. It looks like Disney is searching for actors to bring this new Bluey and Bingo experience to life, and it gives us more of an idea of when we can expect to meet these beloved characters!
When it comes to dining at Universal Orlando, there are lots of fantastic options to choose from. However, one of our absolute favorites is Finnegan’s Bar & Grill.

This restaurant is located in Universal Studios, and you’ll often find it to be pretty busy thanks to its great atmosphere, fantastic dining options, and prime location. However, this is your reminder that starting next week, this restaurant will be closing for a refurbishment.
One of our favorite “holidays” in Disneyland Resort at the start of each year is Anaheim Ducks Day, which is a whole day dedicated to the popular Anaheim Ducks Hockey Club.
On Feb. 22, 2026, guests may partake in the Anaheim Ducks Day event at Disney California Adventure park in Anaheim, Calif. This fan and park-goer favorite returns for one day, featuring appearances by select Anaheim Ducks players and Wild Wing, hockey-themed entertainment and activities, photo opportunities and more.

This special event happens only one day each year, falling on February 22nd this year, and it’s a great way to experience special photo opportunities, check out exclusive merchandise, meet/see some of the players, and, of course, try out new snacks! Disney just released a sneak peek at three of the new snacks that will only be available during this special day, and we’re pretty pumped about all of them.
Disney World is no stranger to trends!

They embrace fun food trends, and Cast Members have loved some of the more silly trends like the viral Tower of Terror photopass moment. Some online trends might even get you into trouble in the parks, so you have to be careful. Disney World even falls victim to a good viral TikTok every now and then, and this new one has us wondering just when this new popular trend will pop up in the theme parks.

Sam’s Club sometimes has discounted gift cards as well.

Planning meals for a group of four at Disney World hits differently than dining solo or as a couple. You need enough space to actually sit together, dishes worth sharing, and ideally a vibe where everyone can relax without feeling cramped. And if you have picky eaters in your group, well, that takes this challenge to a whole new level. We’ve been testing restaurants across the parks to identify the best options that work for groups, so here’s what we’ve learned.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
