food IS a theme park
Hello DFB friends! We’re back to see what’s new in Disney’s Magic Kingdom since our last visit.
Magic Kingdom
We strolled around the beautiful kingdom to check out the latest food, construction, and merchandise! Here we go!
The Grand Floridian Society Orchestra recently played their last concert in Disney World.
Grand Floridian Society Orchestra
After a 32-year run playing in the lobby of the Grand Floridian and in The Disney Society Orchestra at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the orchestra announced they would not be returning after October 3rd. However, the band is getting back together in a new location!
Yoo-hoo! It’s us again (your friendly neighborhood Disney blog) to remind you that our DFB contest is still happening live on our Instagram RIGHT NOW!
Disney Food Blog Face Masks
Our readers are some of the most creative people that we know, so we gave all of you the opportunity to design face masks that could be featured on the DFB Store! While we’ve been coming up with fun designs featuring the Disney Princesses or our favorite snacks (plastic cheese is a food group and you can’t convince us otherwise), we want to see what you’re able to dream up for the next DFB face masks.
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re checking in to see what’s new at Disney’s Old Key West Resort!
Disney’s Old Key West Resort
We’ve got plenty of food, merchandise, construction, and entertainment updates to share with you. So, let’s dive right on in!
Although Disneyland hasn’t set an official opening date, California Governor Gavin Newsom has stated that there’s “no hurry” to decide the best time to reopen theme parks moving forward.

Despite the uncertainty, Disneyland has still been moving forward with precautions like health and safety signs, limited capacity measures, and more ahead of the parks’ reopening dates. Yet, the uncertainty of when the parks and resorts will be welcoming guests back has caused Disney to make difficult decisions regarding the layoffs of 28,000 Cast Members during this time.
Now that Halloween is just around the corner (the anticipation is real), Disney World has been redecorating their cavalcades with a bit of a spooky twist in time for the holiday.
Disney Junior Stars Motorcade
We’ve seen characters dressed in their best costumes and even appearances from rare villains like the Bowler Hat Guy. BUT, Disney’s throwing a new surprise character in the mix over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios for this weekend ONLY!
Recently, the Grand Floridian Society Orchestra announced that it would be playing its last shows on October 3rd in Disney World.
The Disney Society Orchestra and Friends
After the show was halted at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, members of the orchestra were moved over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to perform as the Disney Society Orchestra, with characters making an appearance during their set list.
As Disney World has continued to move forward with its re-opening procedures, other parts of the Disney company haven’t seen as much progress. Namely, the Disney Cruise Line has been closed since March and has continued to delay its re-opening.
Disney Cruise Line’s Disney Dream
While there are a few clues about what it will take for cruise lines to open, the CDC has been taking precautions by issuing a No Sail Order until the end of this month. However, just like the theme park industry, cruise lines are looking to re-open soon to welcome guests back on board.
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Magic Kingdom!
Happy Halloween!
And, we’ve got plenty of construction, merchandise, entertainment, and food updates to share with you, so let’s dive right on in!
It doesn’t matter how many times we’ve listened to both Frozen soundtracks, we can’t help but get emotional every time. And, even though Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been bringing back other entertainment, we’ve REALLY been missing the Frozen Sing-Along Celebration in the park!
Frozen Sing-Along Celebration
While many shows and character interactions have been suspended during this time, experiences like Minnie’s Halloween Dine at Hollywood and Vine, Character Cavalcades, and even visits from friends and foes in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge have been taking place.
