food IS a theme park
Welcome to our roundup of What’s New at Disney’s Contemporary, Grand Floridian, and Polynesian Village Resorts!
Grand Floridian Resort in DIsney World
We’ve got a lot to tell you about, including new menu items (like seasonal BACON) and construction updates!
Have you ever wanted to hang your very own royal portrait in your castle back home? Well, now you can!
Sir Mickey’s
We think Disney’s PhotoPass photographers can take some really incredible close-up shots, and now there’s a NEW photo location in Disney World. The Royal Portrait Studio has opened at Sir Mickey’s in Magic Kingdom!
We cannot wait to experience this year’s D23 Expo.

D23 has already announced that guests attending the expo will get a first look at films like Onward and Frozen 2. Information about Epcot’s transformation will be shared, Christina Aguilera will become a Disney Legend, and Dancing with the Stars, National Geographic, and The Simpsons are all slated to make appearances. Now, D23 has announced that those attending the 2019 D23 Expo will be some of the very FIRST to experience Disney’s new streaming platform, Disney+.
We love to dress up our theme park attire in any way we can, which is why we were thrilled with what we found at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom today!
Mickey’s Star Traders
Pull out one of your old denim jackets, and get ready to go to infinity and beyond in a galaxy far, far away with the latest Disney merch! Toy Story, Star Wars, and Mickey Balloons patches have been spotted at Mickey’s Star Traders!
Today (July 30th) is the International Day of Friendship, which is a cause for celebration in our book!
Sprinkles in Disney Springs
Sprinkles (which is found in both Disneyland and Disney World) is having a BOGO offer in-store TODAY to celebrate the holiday!
In recent weeks, Disney World has released quite a few discounts and deals, from the Ultimate Christmas Package to the free dining offer for the fall and winter.
Animal Kingdom Lodge
And we at DFB want to make sure you get some $$$$$ off your stay, so let’s see which one is right for YOU! Remember, even if you already have a hotel or vacation package booked, you can always call Disney to see if you can get a discount applied to your current booking — or they can rebook you into a lower-priced package or stay. It’s kind of like…magic! ;-D
If you find yourself at Disney’s Grand Floridian, Gasparilla Island Grill is a great option for counter-service comfort food.
BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich
We spotted the BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich on the menu a few weeks back, and we’re glad we got the opportunity to try and review it for you!
Feta, pita, hummus, gyros — we seriously love Mediterranean food!
Paradise Garden Grill
Paradise Garden Grill in Disney California Adventure is now serving Gyro Fries and we couldn’t wait to try them! While we’ve previously tried the Beef Gyro Platter, this new menu item takes seemingly regular fries and sprinkles them with a little Mediterranean flavor.
Don’t get us wrong — we love beer flights. But how about an entire four-course meal with a different beer for each course?
Paddlefish
Paddlefish in Disney Springs is hosting a Beer Dinner on August 21st and we couldn’t wait to tell you about it!
Bacon is one of the latest food trends sweeping its way across Walt Disney World Resort.
Polynesian Village Resort Lobby
We’ve seen Chocolate-Covered Bacon, Bacon-Covered Strawberries, and the Temple of Bacon throughout the World. But NOW, there’s a NEW bacon treat at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort — Pineapple and Coconut Chocolate-Covered Bacon!
