food IS a theme park
Hey, guys! We’re back with another DFB Video today, and we’re getting down to the serious business of restaurant openings, new snacks, and some NEW Disney technology that might change your trip!

We’ve seen some new tech being used to make your check-out experience a little easier this week, tried some new snacks, and we’re telling you all about that and MORE in this video!
Heading to Disney World? These are the items you should definitely have with you!

Yes, that spirit jersey might look perfect in your Instagram photo in front of the castle but 10 minutes later, you might find yourself sweating through the thick fabric on a 90-degree day. Those new shoes might look adorable walking around the park, but they’re BRAND new and your feet are SCREAMING at you an hour after putting them on. Style doesn’t ALWAYS have to be sacrificed for function, but in Disney World, having gear that makes your life easier (and more comfortable) sure helps. But when it comes to a Disney World vacation, what gear do we really need for the trip? Let’s take a look!
One of the most fun things we get to do at Disney World during the holidays is trying out all the festive drinks!
Candy Cane Martini
We’re already off to a solid start tasting our way through the holiday drinks around the parks and resorts! This year, we’ve tried a pumpkin spice margarita, a candy cane martini, spiked eggnog, and MORE!
There have been a lot of exciting new things to see and do in the Downtown Disney District! While the theme parks remain closed at the Disneyland Resort, guests can still shop and dine at the many locations throughout Downtown Disney as well as Buena Vista Street, which reopened last month!

Let’s take a look at what we discovered on our latest visit!
‘Tis the season for plenty of holiday-themed eats and drinks in Disney World!
Gingerbread Cookie
When we think about holiday treats, one of the first flavors that comes to our mind is peppermint! So, when we saw that one of our favorite minty cocktails had made its return to Disney World, we had to see if it was just as delicious as in years past!
Last month, it was announced that the Villas at the Grand Californian Hotel in Disneyland Resort were set to reopen on December 6th.

During the initial plans for reopening, Disney Vacation Club Members were to be able to book stays in the Villas, while the other areas of the hotel were set to remain closed.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance continues to be an incredibly popular ride, but it’s also still one of the most difficult ones to get on.
Rise of the Resistance
Today, we were lucky enough to get a Boarding Group (we were crossing ALL our fingers and toes) and we got called back to ride the attraction in the afternoon, but the line was already VERY long and eventually we ended waiting for Rise of the Resistance in part of ANOTHER attraction’s queue that was quite muppetsational!
Hello, DFB Friends!
Magic Kingdom Train Station
We took a stroll through Magic Kingdom to spot anything new, so here are the latest updates!
Don’t know if you’ve heard, but it all started with a mouse.
Magic Kingdom
Earlier today, we found out that we can celebrate Walt Disney’s birthday and his creation of Mickey Mouse with the new Walt Disney Funko Pop! at an upcoming Disneyland shopping event — but that’s not the ONLY way you can get it!
Monsters, Inc. has become quite the Disney classic, hasn’t it?
Monsters Inc., Experience
And we’ve really enjoyed seeing it getting so much representation at Disney World, in food, bags, and merch. But we just found a piece of Monsters, Inc. merchandise at Disney World that will have us SCREAMING for more!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
