food IS a theme park
Few snacks from Disney movies are as iconic as the Gray Stuff from Beauty and the Beast.
The Grey Stuff Cupcake
At the Be Our Guest restaurant, themed after the movie, you can even get it for dessert! So, imagine how excited we were when we saw that there was a new version of the Gray Stuff you could find without booking a reservation at Be Our Guest. That’s right, there’s a new Gray Stuff in town and we’re bringing you with us to check it out.
Is that a bat? Who is that mysterious caped figure? Vampire Stitch has arrived!
Stitch is here!
Disney has released several new Halloween-themed popcorn buckets this spooky season, but there’s arguably been none more anticipated than Vampire Stitch. This adorable version of Experiment 626 comes decked out in a “fang-tastic” traditional vampire Halloween costume – – think traditional Dracula – – and is holding a jack-o-lantern, presumably for trick-or-treating. We have the full scoop on where you can get ahold of this new souvenir — let’s talk about it.
Magic Kingdom is making some significant changes this summer!
Cinderella Castle
From the opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure to the revamping of the Country Bear Jamboree show and the closure of Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade, it’s like the park is a whole new place. And during a recent visit, we spotted another change…one that you might not notice!
What’s better than a Disney snack? An upgraded Disney snack, of course.
Mickey Bar
You know the saying, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it?” Yeah, we’ll need you to completely disregard that for a second. Dole Whips, Churros, Mickey Pretzels, and Cotton Candy are great snacks in their own right. But what if we told you there’s a way to make them better? Yes…better. We’ve carefully experimented with snacks around Disney World, and today, we’re bringing you the 5 DFB Snack Hacks for $5 or less!
Exactly one year ago today, we drank cotton candy. Let us explain.
The Cotton Top Lagoon
The Cotton Top Lagoon was one of two cotton candy topped drinks we found in Animal Kingdom in 2021, and it was made with a frozen blend of blue raspberry and lemonade and topped with cotton candy. Today we found a NEW version of this drink in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, but does it live up to 2021’s version?
Here at DFB, we understand that some of our readers are on special diets and can’t always eat the things we eat at Disney World.
Orange and Raspberry Dole Whip Swirl!
But we want to help you in choosing some of the best food that you CAN eat, so we’re putting together some lists to help you choose.
Hey, DFB friends!!!
To infinity and beyond!
We’ve been back to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to check up on everything that’s been going on since we were last there. And we have a few updates for you, so let’s get to it!
Lots of things have changed recently at Disney World. Some hotels are set to reopen soon, maskless photos can be taken outdoors, and we’ve even seen changes made when it comes to self-serve drink stations.
The Much Beloved Kakamora Float
But, when it comes to food, there’s still quite a bit that is different from how things were prior to the park closures. Some fan-favorite restaurants are still closed and quite a lot of food hasn’t returned to the parks and hotels. So, today we’re going down our list and sharing some of those food items that are still missing from Disney World so you can plan ahead for your next trip (and not be SEVERELY disappointed when you find that *spoiler alert* beignets are not available from Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter 😭).
We won’t lie — we love playing with our food. And we love coming up with food hacks to take a snack up a level or to create something entirely new!
The most controversial milk in the galaxy!
We’ve already played around with a cool Dole Whip hack, as well as mixed Churros with Coconut Dole Whip (hello, YUM!). We even hacked a Valentine’s Day treat to turn it into something even more epic. But today, we’re turning to that most controversial of snacks — the Blue Milk at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
We’re back with some MORE new drinks for ya!
Beach Club Resort
We’ve been goin’ hard sampling boozy sips around Disney World the last few days, from TWO spiked Dole Whips to tasty margaritas. But over at Martha’s Vineyard Lounge at Disney’s Beach Club Resort, 2 new drinks have arrived — and they’re ringing in spring!
