food IS a theme park
We’re at the start of a brand new week, and we think that’s a great reason to treat yourself!
Hippy Dippy Area
Everything POP is also bringing back two menu items that are worth the carb overload.
When you’re packing your day bag, the new normal is to make sure you’ve got an extra face mask with you on top of your sunscreen and sunglasses before hitting the parks.

Although the switch to new health and safety measures might still feel unfamiliar to anything we’ve experienced in the past, Disney World has placed an importance on the well-being of guests and Cast Members returning to the parks.
As we start putting on our best witch hats à la the Sanderson Sisters, Halloween isn’t complete without a trip to the Haunted Mansion in Disney World.
The Haunted Mansion Graveyard
Even though you want to make sure those Hitchhiking Ghosts don’t follow you home, you’re going to want to take these ornaments with you instead!
We’ve got our School Bread in one hand and our Macaron Minnie Ears in the other because we’re heading to the France Pavilion today!
Chefs de France
Although we’ve already been strolling through the pavilion to check out the Food and Wine eats and sips, France is also home to the upcoming Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure attraction and La Crêperie de Paris restaurant. As a part of the giant EPCOT Transformation overhaul, the new features in the pavilion are meant to add some newness to World Showcase.
It’s not a trip to EPCOT until you’ve got a glass of something bubbly to go with a midday snack (especially if you’re visiting Les Halles in the France Pavilion).
Escargot and Pink Flamingo
Although the Food and Wine Festival will be coming to a close in the park on November 22nd, there’s still plenty of time to try new sips or indulge in a sweet treat. And, you can even commemorate your time in EPCOT with a returning pair of ears that have popped into stores again!
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.
Although crowds might be growing in Disney World, we’ve seen some wildly different wait times all around the theme parks!
Cinderella Castle
There’s no FastPass or single rider during this time, and various ride queues have seen changes with distancing efforts, new sanitation measures, and more as guests return back to attractions. With such unprecedented efforts, the wait times have been fluctuating with variations between the posted wait time and how long riders have actually had to wait before boarding!
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!
Crowds in Disney World have started to pick up. And with SO many holidays just around the corner, we anticipate even higher attendance numbers.
Roy and Minnie
Thanksgiving’s already gearing up to be quite the holiday in the parks. As more people plan to return back to the parks soon, the Disney Park Pass system has seen varying availability for guests planning their upcoming vacations for the holidays.
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.
