food IS a theme park
Hey, guys! We’re back with another DFB Video and today we’re talking the HUGE week that just took place at Walt Disney World!
2019 Food and Wine Festival
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is now OPEN and the 2019 Epcot Food & Wine Festival has begun!
Hurricane season is coming up fast, and guests at Walt Disney World are looking ahead to how any potential storms might affect their trip — either with a Florida coast impact, or just a week’s worth of rain. We know there’s a lot to be concerned about when a storm is approaching — particularly if you’re not from an area that typically gets large, active systems like a hurricane.

Hurricane season in 2021 officially runs from June 1 through November 30, with the bulk of the action taking place in August through October. [Read more…]
Last weekend’s D23 Expo revealed a lot of big news for the Disney Parks (Epcot Transformation! Avengers Campus!), Disney+ streaming service, Disney Cruise Line, and more!
Oh and then there was a little something called GALAXY’S EDGE…and the Epcot FOOD AND WINE FESTIVAL in there this week! And wait there’s a HURRICANE?!
Welcome to Walt Disney World!
Well in that onslaught of expected and unexpected news (Mary Poppins attraction, wut!), three HUGE pieces of Disney news for Walt Disney World went way under the radar.
Epcot’s Park-wide transformation was arguably the biggest, most paradigm-shifting news at D23, and lost in the haze of new neighborhoods and new pavilion, attraction, and dining info, you might’ve missed discussion of Spaceship Earth’s transformation. [Read more…]
We’re a little less than one month out from the grand opening of Disney’s newest mode of transportation — The Disney Skyliner Gondola System. These gondolas will soon allow guests to take to the skies for a birds-eye view of Walt Disney World Resort while they travel to their next destination.

Currently, a category 4 hurricane named Hurricane Dorian is on the move, inching its way closer and closer to Walt Disney World Resort. The Orlando Airport has already announced a closure, and Disney World itself has confirmed hurricane closures and cancellations as well.
So with such a significant weather impact potentially on the way to Orlando, this leaves us with this question, will the new Disney Skyliner System be able to weather the storm?
It’s almost time for guests to take to the sky with the new Disney Skyliner Gondola System!

As guests prepare to take on this new birds-eye view experience, Disney is beginning to release a few fun pieces of Skyliner merch.
It’s time for another limited time cupcake at Sprinkles!!
Circus Animal Cupcake
We have already shared all of the cupcakes debuting for the month of August — but this yummy flavor took us by surprise. It’s also making us feel super nostalgic!
has been on a roll when it comes to the release of NEW Corkcicle colors. We’ve seen the Pineapple Corkcicle (which is sadly sold out!), the Neon Pink Corkcicle, the Neon Blue Corkcicle, and now they have released the new Gun Metal Silver Corkcicle!

And the best part about these cups? Your choice of a FREE Dole Whip Frozcato, Frosé, or Freaujolais!
Wow! Yesterday was a fun one. Not only did Galaxy’s Edge open but the Food and Wine Festival kicked off as well! Does it get any more crazy, exciting, and wonderful? Not often!
The Tree of Life
During all the madness of yesterday, we also decided to stop by Animal Kingdom as they were offering a few SECRET menu items for Annual Passholders.
We stopped by Oga’s Cantina this evening to give a few more drinks a try before wrapping up our Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Opening Day adventures!
Oga’s Cantina
While we were there, we started chatting with a few Cast Members to find that Oga’s Cantina has a huge, crazy, massively insane SECRET MENU ITEM!
is finally open to the public! And after all of the sweets we ate today, between the first day of the 2019 Food and Wine Festival and all the Star Wars-themed treats, we thought it was time to try something a bit more on the healthy side…
Two Suns Hummus
So, let’s dig into the Two Suns Hummus from Backlot Express in Hollywood Studios!
