food IS a theme park
Valentine’s Day weekend is almost here!
Splitsville
And there are going to be a LOT of Valentine’s Day specials going on in Disney World, including at Disney Springs. We already know about specials at STK Orlando, a chef’s tasting dinner at Morimoto Asia, and a ton of yummy snacks. And, there’s one more Disney Springs location offering up something special for Valentine’s Day!
If you ask us, there’s no wrong way to eat a Dole Whip!
Pineapple Dole Whip
Whether you keep it classic, amp it up with a splash of pineapple juice for a Pineapple Float, or get a limited-edition concoction like a strawberry-chocolate Dole Whip swirl or the Kakamora Float with coconut Dole Whip, even when Dole Whip is only OK (like you, Watermelon Dole Whip), it’s still pretty darn great!
Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion!
Haunted Mansion
No phrase fills us with so much ghoulish delight! And we love seeing all the fun Haunted Mansion stuff out there, including sippers, gargoyle statues, clothing, and more!
Disney has SO many classic snacks that we can’t pick a favorite — so we asked our readers on Instagram!
Peter Pan Float
We recently brought you a video of the best Disney snacks in 2021. But which one is the winner? Well, that’s for you to decide! Here’s the results for Round 1 of our Best Snacks of 2021 Bracket.
Okay, let’s be honest, 2020 wasn’t the best year ever for Walt Disney World.
Walt Disney World Gateway
The parks shut down for several months and the Walt Disney Company suffered financially due to the pandemic. Thousands of Cast Members lost their jobs, and when the parks did reopen, they reopened without a lot of the amenities we’ve grown to love. Even though things like fireworks, parades, and FastPasses still haven’t returned, some exciting things are already happening in 2021.
There are all kinds of ways you can celebrate Valentine’s Day in Disney World or at home.
Sprinkles in Disney Springs
And included in that fun are lots of unique Valentine’s Day treats you can munch on. Recently, we had a crunchy(!!) Valentine’s Day cupcake over at Sprinkles. But, now Sprinkles is giving you another way to enjoy this crunchiness with a twist on a nostalgic treat!
We’ve been waiting ever so patiently to experience Avengers Campus at Disneyland Resort.

The closure of the Disneyland theme parks delayed the opening of the upcoming Avengers-themed land in Disney California Adventure. We’re not sure when Disneyland will reopen and we’re not sure if Avengers Campus will open with the parks, but the new land was looking a little different above the construction barriers last night.
Disneyland has been closed for almost a full year.
Sleeping Beauty Castle
While Disney World was able to open last summer, strict theme park reopening guidelines in California have kept Disneyland closed. Now, lawmakers in California are looking to change that.
A number of months ago, Disney shared that its cruising industry would be the last of its businesses to resume.
The Disney Wonder
So far, we have seen Disney cruises canceled through April, with select cruises canceled through May, and select cruises over 7 nights canceled as well. But, now a major restriction has been announced that could impact a lot of cruises, beyond just Disney Cruise Line.
If there are two things we love here at DFB, they’re cookies and Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
We’ve been able to fuse these two passions together time and time again, but perhaps never as easy as when Disney released a Spaceship Earth Cookie Jar last year. Now, we might be snagging another as an even MORE iconic icon has been made into cookie jar form.
