food IS a theme park
Hello, DFB Friends! It’s been another fantastic week at Disney World!
Will Tokyo Dining reopen soon?
We’ve spent the week eating a TON of princess-themed snacks (and we have no regrets!), checking out some new princess merchandise, and trying not to buy the latest pair of Disney Crocs. In the meantime, we’ve also been keeping an eye on Disney World restaurant menus.
Although we saw a lot of crowds at Disney World throughout the summer, once August rolled around (and kids started going back to school), we’ve seen significantly lower crowds and wait times in the parks.
It’s quiet at Disney World today
This week, crowds have been so low that it’s even been easier to grab a boarding pass for Rise of the Resistance at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (WELL after the time they first become available). But what are crowds like now on weekends? Well, we were at the parks today to find out!
If you’re headed to Disney World this fall, you’ll need to know some important things!
Make sure you know Disney World’s park hours!
First, don’t forget to make your park pass reservations and familiarize yourself with the My Disney Experience app. Second, make sure you know the park hours — and we’ve got you covered for trips up through early November!
We love our sweet treats in Disney World!
Dole Whip!
And how could we not when there are so many to choose from? Dole Whips, alcoholic ice cream, cookies from Gideons…oh! And who could forget ALL of those sweets over in Hollywood Studios right now for Halloween?! It’s a great time to have a sweet tooth in Disney World and it just got even BETTER because we found FOUR new cupcakes today in Animal Kingdom! And, guess what? They’re all adorably themed to Russell’s Wilderness Explorer Badges from Pixar’s Up!
It seems like there are constant changes happening in Disney World lately!
Cinderella Castle
Restaurants are reopening, holiday parties are turning into After Hours events, FastPass+ is being replaced with a new system, and decorations are going up for the 50th anniversary! We like to keep an eye on the dining menus around Disney for any changes, and we recently noticed some price increases at a popular Animal Kingdom restaurant!
There have been a lot of new updates from Disney World recently, from princess-themed treats to celebrate World Princess Week to the introduction of the Disney Genie, which replaced the old FastPass system in the parks.
Tree of Life
We’re doing our best to keep you updated with all the news! Today, we’re walking through Disney’s Animal Kingdom to take a look at what’s new and changing in the park.
We’re in the midst of a hot, humid summer in Walt Disney World, and that kind of weather calls for a cool, refreshing drink! Disney has been showing off several new treats and desserts this week for World Princess Week, but we must interrupt our scheduled princess content to bring you a new slushy!Â
Flame Tree Barbecue
While we were in Disney’s Animal Kingdom this morning, we noticed a new drink available at a popular quick-service dining location on Discovery Island. Let’s take a look!
It has been a HUGE week for Disney World news, with information on Disney Genie, restaurant reopenings, and things coming soon to the parks.Â
The Disney parks have had a big week!
But there have also been quite a few exciting things to notice in the parks themselves! Today we’re taking you along on a trip to Disney’s Animal Kingdom to see what’s new over there.Â
You’ve spent HUNDREDS, and maybe even THOUSANDS, of dollars for a perfect Walt Disney World vacation, spent *days* securing your dining reservations, and spent time packing everything you think you might possibly need while at the parks.
Magic Kingdom
The last thing you need to spend energy on? Worrying about everything that could possibly go wrong.
So we did that for you!

Disney implemented a lot of new health and safety measures when they reopened last year.
Hollywood Studios Face Masks Sign
Face mask requirements, no-touch entry, a lot more mobile order options, and more were all part of the new health and safety rules in Disney World. Now, one of these changes is going back to normal in the parks for the first time since Disney World reopened.
