food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
And, we’ve got plenty of merchandise and food updates to share with you, so let’s dive right on in!
UPDATED 8-16-20
Many guests, including us, have been back in Disney World to dine at our favorite restaurants again (how we’ve missed Homecomin‘s Cheddar Drop Biscuits).
Shine Bar and Social
And dining locations around the parks and resorts have been following strict health and safety regulations with Mobile Dining Check-in, distanced seating, limited menus, and more. Still, some guests have had affected Advance Dining Reservations now that Disney World’s park hours have been shortened beginning September 8th. We’ve got the scoop on how Disney will handle this.
Although we’ve been glad to see Mickey, Minnie, and the whole gang back in Disney World, we’ve been having a great time posing with Baby Yoda in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge too!
Photopass Spot
We’ve been seeing all sorts of Star Wars goodies since we’ve like the talking Baby Yoda Toy, shoulder plush (who we think has been a GREAT co-co-pilot with us on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, might we add 😉), and cozy a spirit jersey.
It’s only August, but we’re already getting ready for 2021.
2021 Calendar
Recently, we found a 2021 calendar in EPCOT, and now we’ve found a NEW 2021 calendar in Magic Kingdom! If you’re a fan of Disney Parks posters, you’ll definitely want to check this one out!
It’s pretty much impossible for us to pick our favorite theme park.
Disneyland Park
Even though Disney World has reopened, our hearts yearn to walk through the gates of Disneyland once more!
We may not be able to attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this year, but does that mean we won’t get any Halloween decorations in the parks at all?
Halloween at Magic Kingdom
We love seeing all of those fall-colored flags and adorable pumpkin wreaths as we walk down Main Street, U.S.A. with a fall-flavored Starbucks coffee in hand! Well, we spoke to some Cast Members today in Magic Kingdom and we’ve got an update!
Jungle Cruise starring Dwayne Johnson was supposed to come out July 24th, 2020, before it was postponed.
Jungle Cruise
Even though the movie isn’t coming out just yet, the Jungle Cruise merch has been pouring in! So far we’ve seen a gorgeous skipper dress, cookie jar, graphic tees, and a new piece of drinkware that lets you actually see the backside of water!
If you’ve looked for advice about your Disney vacation, chances are you’ve stumbled across the Disney Parks Moms Panel.

In fact, we made it our mission to trek over to The Fjording today to pick up a pair of these horn-rimmed beauties at the Norway pavilion today.
