food IS a theme park
What if there were secret MAPS to help you escape Disney World crowds?!
Magic Kingdom
The parks can get seriously crowded, especially during holidays, school breaks, or the summertime. And during those days, we often find ourselves looking for shortcuts to avoid those packed main walkways. Today, we’re sharing some helpful maps that will guide you to the best secret pathways to avoid crowds!
The start of the 2024 year is bringing about lots of CHANGES to Disney World and it seems that rides are no exception.
Tree of Life
We already knew that Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster is getting ready to close for a longer refurbishment expected to last through Summer, as well as a few other rides. Now, we’ve got another ride to talk about that will also be ready for a refurbishment over the next few days. [Read more…]
It’s TIMEEEEEE.
Hollywood Studios Christmas tree
If you’ve visited Disney World in the past few months, it may feel like Halloween has been going on for AGES. (And to be fair, it kind of does — Disney started celebrating in mid-August!) For those who’ve had their fill of spooky season, you might be ready to kick Christmas into gear. Now, before Halloween has even happened, Disney World has added its FIRST holiday decorations of the season!
Everybody likes to talk about the snacks that you can get in EPCOT and Magic Kingdom, but there’s one Disney World park whose food game is going under the radar…Animal Kingdom!
Animal Kingdom
Seriously, this park has some pretty amazing snacks that you’re probably walking right past. And recently, we stopped by to try out one of our old favorites and see if it’s still as good as we remembered!
Hey there, DFB friends! It’s only 3 days until Christmas and we’re here with what’s new in Animal Kingdom!
Tree of Life
We got to enjoy a VERY limited seasonal treat and we also found some cute new merchandise! Want to come along with us?
If you’ve been to Disney World before, chances are you know that feeling: you just want to get from one side of Magic Kingdom to the other, but you’re met with a wall of crowds or a parade or cavalcade, slowing you down big time! Well, did you know that there are SECRET walkways that can help you avoid those crowds?
Main Street, U.S.A.
Okay, so maybe these walkways aren’t a complete secret, but there are often-overlooked walkways in the parks that can help you save some time while getting from point A to point B — or, at least it will make your walk more pleasant and crowd-free. With the 50th Anniversary Celebration bringing in plenty of visitors, it’s more important than ever to be aware of where the shortcuts and alternate routes are in the parks!
Although it might seem unassuming, we’ve always been fond of Yak and Yeti Restaurant at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Yak and Yeti
Yak and Yeti is located in the Asia section of the park in the village of Anandapur. And what really makes it stand out is the theming (something Disney knows a thing or two about). In the past, the food has been consistently pretty good. But it’s been a while since we’ve eaten here, so we had to pop in to see if that’s still the case.
Another snack spot is open again in Disney World!
Warung Outpost in Animal Kingdom
The Warung Outpost in Disney’s Animal Kingdom had their hours listed for today, so you should be able to stop by today to grab a frozen drink!
You know us — we love our Disney World snacks, and we LOVE our Disney World cookies! That is probably why we found ourselves standing in 3+ hour long lines to get the latest cookie flavor at Gideon’s Bakehouse (don’t judge us!).
Orange Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookie
But we’ve certainly got our favorites all over Disney World, and we’re going to share those with you today, so you can have the most ULTIMATE cookie crawl ever! So put on your stretchy pants and comfy shoes because we’re wandering all over Disney World eating cookies!
Guys. We HAVE to talk about the Everest Base Camp Macaroon.
That’s an Insta-worthy treat!
It popped up at Thirsty River Bar in Disney’s Animal Kingdom earlier this month, and we were OBSESSED. This spin on Disneyland’s iconic Matterhorn Macaroon tasted SO GOOD. It was coconut, chocolate, and green tea paradise, and we just couldn’t get enough.
