food IS a theme park
GIVE US THE FOOD, DISNEY!
Winnie the Pooh snacks
Disney just dropped a new look at some of the treats coming to Disney Parks, and we’re ready to grab out forks and knives and dig right in. Warning: Once you see these pictures, you’ll be hungry!
It is Halloween time in Orlando, and Disney World has already kicked off its festivities with Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. This is a family-friendly event, which, as the name suggests, is really not that scary. But if you are looking for a more frightening time, then you may need to plan a trip to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando Resort this year!
Welcome to the SCARE ZONE!
Halloween Horror Nights, or HHN, is on the other side of the spectrum of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, as it is definitely VERY scary. If you’ve never been to one of these events before, you may be in for a surprise if you don’t know what you’re getting into. But that’s why we’re here! If you’re heading to the event this year, here’s everything you need to know so you’re not caught off guard!
It’s no secret that we’ve been excited about Disney World’s new Pirates of the Caribbean lounge in Magic Kingdom since it was first announced. Well, we’ve had our first look at the bar — and it is EPIC.
The Beak and Barrel
But the most important thing — at least for us — is the menu, so we’re trying all the food and drinks, and we’re here to share our honest thoughts about everything we ate and drank. So let’s all channel our inner pirate (ARRRRRGHHH!) and get to it!
So Epic Universe has been open for a little while now, and we’ve had a chance to try all of the amazing restaurants you’ll find throughout its five lands.
However, there are still some things we HAVEN’T tried, and well, if you’ve been following us for a while, we’re completionists — we want to eat and drink EVERYTHING on the menu. So we recently returned to Burning Blade Tavern in Dark Universe to grab some new-to-us food and drinks. So what did we think? Well, we’ll tell you!
We are obsessed with the Disney Cruise Line!

Over the last few years, the cruise line has expanded to include new ships like the Disney Treasure and Disney Wish. In 2025, they’re growing the fleet even more with the addition of two new ships, the Disney Destiny and Disney Adventure. While we are eagerly awaiting the new sailings, Disney is finally giving us a sneak peek at the new food coming to one of the ships this December!
It’s almost time for the 2025 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival!
2024 Food and Wine Festival
We’ve been going to this festival for decades now and covering it here at DFB for more than 10 years, and throughout that time, we’ve kept an eye on which booths are the most popular. Many return year after year, and if there’s one that’s guaranteed to be busy, it’s The Alps.
Labor Day weekend is going to be VERY busy in Disney World, and NOT just because it’s Labor Day weekend.
Seafood Sharing Board at Raglan Road
The EPCOT Food and Wine Festival kicks off on August 29th, so we expect to see some pretty huge Labor Day crowds hitting up the festival during that weekend. However, ANOTHER festival of sorts will also be happening in Disney World…except this one doesn’t require a park ticket. It’s the Great Irish Hooley, and it’s returning this year to Raglan Road in Disney Springs.
Magic Kingdom’s NEW Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge is opening SOON, and Disney just gave us another look at the food and drink that will be coming to this new dining location. We have been eagerly anticipating the opening of The Beak and Barrel, and we are just over a week away from its grand opening on August 29th, 2025.

Disney knows how to tease us, and they just posted a new video that includes a closer look at some of the food and drink items that will be available at The Beak and Barrel. As if we weren’t already excited enough, now our mouths are watering, too! Let’s take a look!
In just a few short months, Disney’s first ship to set sail out of Singapore will go on its maiden voyage.

The Disney Adventure will begin its own adventure on December 15th and will feature seven themed areas, new attractions, as well as a variety of restaurants, including some NEW Disney Cruise Line restaurants. Well, you know us, and we’ve been WAITING to get a peek at what food on the Adventure will look like, and Disney just gave us our first look!
The holiday season is right around the corner, which means it’s almost time to get festive at Disney World!
Jollywood Nights
Disney World loves to embrace the holiday fun at the end of the year with events like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom, the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, and Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Speaking of the Hollywood Studios party, Disney has recently confirmed some pretty big Jollywood Nights features, and we’re letting you know all about ’em!
