food IS a theme park
Halloween season has begun as we’ve already started eating a wicked amount of Hocus Pocus Cookies at home (and it’s absolutely been worth it).
Halloween Treats
Although Disney has canceled Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and the Oogie Boogie Bash (and Universal has postponed the 30th anniversary of Halloween Horror Nights until next year), there’s still plenty of Halloween treats brewing for spooky season!
It’s that time again where YOU can vote in a DFB tournament (and root for some of your favorite things in the parks)!
Mickey & Friends Motorcade
We’ve seen some pretty wild throw downs happen between snacks, attractions, movies, and more since things can get competitive. But, this next one is getting PERSONAL because the fate of the best Disney meet-and greet characters is in your hands!
Florida has recently been a hot spot for the novel Coronavirus that’s been spreading globally since the beginning of the year, with cases and positivity rates soaring in early July, just as Walt Disney World opened the gates to its theme parks for the first time in four months.
Cast Members welcoming guests back to Magic Kingdom
Following this spike, public officials ordered various mandates to stop the spread, including closing bars and requiring masks in public spaces. And now we’re starting to see a bit of hope in the recent numbers.
We’re taking you on a trip to a jungle in a faraway place…well, Adventureland in Disneyland to be exact!
Bengal Barbecue
Bengal Barbecue has been serving up bacon-wrapped asparagus and Tiger Tails for just over 30 years (!!!) in Disneyland. And, thank GOODNESS for that!
It’s the home to some delicious eats like Poke Bowls, the Jungle Julep, and that incredible Kalua Pork Sandwich. But, most importantly, Bengal Barbecue grills up some of the BEST kabobs and skewers you can get on Disney property!

You may not be flying to Disney World this year due to the current health situation. So, if you’re hopping in the car to head to Disney World we have a few fun things to help keep the kiddos entertained!
Disney’s Minnie Vans Service
Although sitting in a car for a few hours (or more!) might seem boring, you don’t need Fairy Godmother’s wand to make your road trip magical!
Now that EPCOT is open, that means we’ve been spending all our time exploring a newly re-opened park (and waving hello to Pooh and his sweet butterfly net)!
Morocco Pavilion
Disney has put multiple health and safety regulations in place to keep guests and Cast Members safe during this time. While we’ve experienced temperature checks, hand sanitizer stations, and more around the parks, everyone is also required to wear face masks whenever they’re on property.
Although we’ve been grabbing as many Dole Whips and Mickey Pretzels (with plastic cheese, of course) as possible since we’ve been back to Disney World, there have been quite a few menu changes in the parks during the re-openings.
Magic Kingdom
While multiple menu items are available for guests to snack on again, we were SO sad to see treats like the Kakamora Float, I Lava You Float, and Peter Pan Float disappear from Disney World for the time being. And we’ve missed them tremendously!
Since we’ve been back in a newly re-opened EPCOT, we’ve spotted Anna and Elsa out in the Character Cavalcades, gone to the Relaxation Station at Akershus, and hopped back on Frozen Ever After back-to-back.
Norway Troll
Speaking of, while it’s well worth making a visit to the Norway Pavilion to visit Arendelle with Anna and Elsa, there’s a new pair of Mickey ears that will have you running that way! [Read more…]
Downtown Disney has re-opened to guests so they can visit their favorite stores and restaurants in the district!
Downtown Disney!
Although we’ve been happy to dine at spots like Tortilla Jo’s and shop at the World of Disney for new face masks, due to Disneyland’s delayed reopening we haven’t yet been able to visit their parks and resorts. And while reservations had originally been available for select Disneyland hotels in August, it now looks like we might have to wait a little while longer before we will be able to visit!
Although we’ve been seeing our favorite characters in the parks since Disney World re-opened, we are SO hyped that the Muppets have returned to Disney+!

Now that “Muppets Now” is on the streaming service, you can catch up with Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the rest of the gang during their wacky adventures with celebrity guests.
