food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Old Key West Resort!
Olivia’s Cafe
And, we’ve got plenty of food, merchandise, and entertainment updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
When Disney World reopened, many of its restaurants remained closed.
Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
And while some are still closed, several fan-favorites, like Woody’s Lunch Box, have reopened. Earlier this week, we saw that another dining location at Disney World would reopen soon, and today it has officially reopened!
Even though we don’t have traditional character meet-and-greets and meals right now, Disney has been very creative when implementing ways for us to interact with our Disney friends!
Pluto!!
Just this morning, characters returned to Chef Mickey’s at the Contemporary (in socially-distanced fashion), and we’ve seen several fun cavalcades and distanced meet-and-greets in the parks. We speculated a few weeks ago whether or not characters might come around to visit the Disney World Resorts again, and then we spotted some friends over at Disney’s Grand Floridian last week! Today, we saw a few characters again, this time at Disney’s Riviera Resort! And they showed up in a cool ride!
We’ve been anxiously awaiting reopening announcements for several Disney resorts for months now!
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Some of Disney’s resorts have opened fully, like the Grand Floridian, while others are still only partially opened with the DVC sections operating. On top of that, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is currently under construction — undergoing a massive refurbishment to be completed next summer. We previously received an opening date for Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort, but now it seems as though that date has been pushed back!
In case you wanted to ring in the new year with Indian-style Bread Service or Thai Coconut Meatballs, you’re in LUCK!
Sanaa Bread Service To Go!
While New Year’s Eve is certainly going to look a LOT different this year, Disney World announced that quick-service restaurants, pool bars, and lounges at its resorts will be open late for the holiday!
Did you even visit Disney World if you didn’t eat something Mickey-shaped?
Mickey Bar
There are SO many snacks in Disney World that resemble our favorite mouse from classics like pretzels to ice cream bars and we’ve even spotted a hidden Mickey inside of a cupcake! We tried another Mickey-themed treat today, and although it wasn’t shaped like Mickey himself, it totally honored him!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Skyliner Resorts!
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
And, we’ve got plenty of merchandise, food, and entertainment updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
It’s a VERY busy day in Disney World today as the holiday weekend continues and EPCOT’s Festival of the holidays begins!
2020 Taste of EPCOT Festival of the Holidays
But, while we’re up to our eyeballs in holly and jolly over in EPCOT, we’re taking a break from the festival to head over to one of our favorite spots at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
Ever since Disney World re-opened, we’ve been daydreaming about the day that we’d be able to get ‘Ohana’s Bread Pudding once again.
‘Ohana Bread Pudding with Sauce
You guys already know how we feel about all that pineapple bread, ice cream, and banana caramel sauce (we’re about to go into a food coma just thinking about it). While the Bread Pudding was originally exclusive to ‘Ohana, we’ve seen it pop up at the Tambu Lounge and even as an option in the $60 room-service Twilight Feast at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort in the past.
But, this epic Bread Pudding has NOT yet shown up ANYWHERE Disney World reopened…UNTIL TODAY. We have INCREDIBLE news for our fellow Bread Pudding devotees!
Oh, what fun it is to be in Disney World right now! While the parks have received a magical makeover, the Disney Resorts are also joining in the festivities with their own treats and decorations for guests to enjoy.
Trattoria Al Forno
And, Disney’s BoardWalk Inn and Villas has gone all out with gorgeous garlands and trees, as well as the HUGE Holiday Macaroon! Now, the BoardWalk is mixing up something sweet and boozy to celebrate Christmastime with a brand new drink over at the Trattoria al Forno!
