food IS a theme park
Though the holiday crowds will soon wind down, we were able to check out a new — and possibly temporary — oasis today at Upcountry Landing in Animal Kingdom’s Asia.
Bar sign at Upcountry Landing
Signs announcing the “BAR” invite you to “relax along the Caravan Road” with “Beers! Wines! Adult Beverages!” [Read more…]
Remember this guy? 🙂
Lion King Simba Cupcake
The Lion King Simba Cupcake made its mark in Disney’s Animal Kingdom waaaayyy back in 2014. So it was fun to see it back at Pizzafari and Creature Comforts today. [Read more…]
Anyone remember this crazy cute, super popular Sulley popcorn bucket that debuted for Pixar Fest in Disneyland earlier this year? It was previously exclusive to Disneyland, but guess where he’s popped up!!!
Sulley Popcorn Bucket
Yep! He’s now in Disney World! Thanks to DFB instagram friend @SpinningArrowCo who tagged us with their find, we’ve got pics of Sulley, from the Monsters Inc. film franchise, who’s shown up in Animal Kingdom!
It should come as no surprise to you that the DFB team loves photography. We take thousands of photos every year, and we honestly relish every one. So generating a list of the DFB’s Most Wow-Worthy Pictures This Year was an impossible task. But we buckled down and found a few we wanted to share with you once more!
We had a blast celebrating Mickey’s 90th birthday in November
, and you know that all those specialty eats had us pretty excited. But when we saw the size of the Giant Mickey Birthday Krispy we knew it needed lots of photographic love. We like how this picture captures the breadth of this huge krispy treat — not an easy feat in a World of oversized, fantastical things!

Plus there’s lovely sunlight bouncing off that smooth chocolate. Love!
The holidays are REALLY on now in Walt Disney World…
Animal Kingdom’s Tree of Life
… and we’ve seen the crowds and the attraction wait times to prove it!
Animal Kingdom Entrance
Flight of Passage Wait Time
Fortunately, in Animal Kingdom there are lots of new and limited time eats (in addition to all sorts of longtime favorites) to serve the increased number of guests.
Meatball and Polenta at Terra Treats
Because, as we always say, the best thing about more crowds in Disney World is MORE FOOD!!! [Read more…]
Hi, there! We’re back with another DFB Video today, and we’re sharing 37 Hidden Gems in Disney World’s Animal Kingdom!
Banshees in Windtraders… and where else?
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is a unique and beautiful park, and it’s got some great headliner attractions like Avatar Flight of Passage and Kilimanjaro Safaris which are both really well known. But I think you’ll be surprised at how many hidden gems this park has to offer — from interactive activities and animal encounters to some lesser known (but great) places to dine. And we’re sharing 37 of those gems with you today in our latest DFB YouTube Video! [Read more…]
Have you been longing to pick up one of the new Starbucks “You Are Here” Disney Parks mugs, but you’re not planning to visit Walt Disney World or Disneyland Resort anytime soon?
You Are Here — Magic Kingdom Style!
Well, we have some exciting news for you (just in time for the holidays, too!): these Disney Parks Starbucks mugs and ornaments are now available online!
Hello from a rainy Animal Kingdom! The rain might have kept a few people away… but not us 😉 ! Umbrella in hand, we explored the park and found all the new items, changes, and more for you!
Hello from Animal Kingdom!
Here’s everything we found including new sweets, menu updates, new merchandise, and the arrival of the 2019 Walt Disney World mugs!
Not too long ago we were telling you about Disney’s obsession with push pops, but now it seems the trend train has moved on to another station: BOWLS! Yup, the plate is, evidently, overrated, and the Disney Parks restaurants are all about the bowl now! Let’s take a look at a few of the locations where we’re seeing the breakfast, lunch, dinner, and customizable bowl take over menus in Disney parks and resorts!
Create Your Own Satu’li Bowls
First up, the undisputed Home of the Bowls: Satu’li Canteen in Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom. The customizable bowls have been Satu’li’s main menu items since day one, so it’s not so much a trend at Satu’li as it is a lifestyle. 😉
Slow-roasted Sliced Grilled Beef Bowl
The Satu’li bowls are customizable, so diners elect their base, protein, and sauce to make it just right. We love the Grilled Beef, but you can’t go wrong with the Grilled Chicken, either…and everyone’s got their favorite. Better yet: get the Combination Bowl and enjoy a little of both!
There’s been no shortage of adorable cupcakes popping up at Walt Disney World this holiday season, like this whimsical Rainbow Unicorn Cupcake or this incredibly detailed Snowman Cupcake. We’ve got another new cupcake review for you today: the Mickey Christmas Tree Cupcake!
