food IS a theme park
Hello, everyone! We’re over on the West Coast checking out everything going on at Disneyland Resort!
Downtown Disney
And BOY, is there a LOT going on. Not only is Disneyland reopening soon, but we just got some details about an expansion of the resort (!!!), AND then ate one of the most controversial snacks we’ve probably ever had!
At first glance, you might look at this photo of Disney’s beloved princesses in Magic Kingdom during a cavalcade and think…how are these princesses anything like me? I don’t have a cavalcade with adoring fans waving at me (except for in my mind when I pretend to be a Hollywood A-lister as I sing my heart out in the shower).
Remember to Keep 6 Feet Apart — Even When These Ladies Show Up!
But, Disney celebrities sometimes are just like us! Those princesses for example, typically travel on a giant float. But, on this day, they were roughing it and walking the cavalcade route. Maybe they were part of a FitBit challenge at work and had to get those steps in? Maybe they’re trying to keep their New Year’s resolution to get in shape and not eat any more poisonous apples. We’ve spotted quite a few characters all around Disney World doing things that have totally made us think, “OMG. That’s SO us!” You might just be surprised at how much Disney celebrities are just like you!
Watching a character cavalcade is fun on its own, but it’s truly something special when you lock eyes with your favorite Disney friend and they shout a funny phrase out to you or just give you a personal wave.

But you know what’s even better? Seeing Disney characters interact with one another! Whether it’s just a quick word from an evil villain directed at a character from a totally different movie, or something else, these are some EPIC crossovers we can totally get behind. And today we saw not 1, not 2, but 3 different characters interact with a bear you might just recognize from a classic Disney attraction. What would happen if a Country Bear crossed paths with Gaston? Today, we found out!
Hello to all our DFB friends! We spent today at Disney World taking a ton of photos and videos just to share with you!
Cinderella Castle
We headed to Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, and Magic Kingdom, so fasten your seatbelt because here we go!
Florida weather is notoriously finicky. Thunderstorms and rain can happy at any time, even at Disney World, but that doesn’t mean an end to the fun!
Magic Kingdom
In fact, a rainy day at Disney World can be one of the best times ever! Not only does the rain occasionally clear out crowds from the parks, but it also brings its own fun events, like the Rainy Day Cavalcades!
Halloween has officially started at Disney World through tons of spooky merchandise and lots of fall-themed snacks.
Cadaver Dans!
And in just a few days, Disney will officially ring in the season with fall decor and entertainment. We JUST shared The Dapper Dans would be returning to Magic Kingdom as The Cadaver Dans and now we have even more big news!
Before Disney World reopened, they told us parades and character greetings weren’t going to happen right away and would return at a later date. But fret NOT! We gotta say — things are interesting at Magic Kingdom with these new Character Cavalcades they’ve replaced their normal entertainment offerings with instead!
Disney Princess Cavalcade
We’ve probably seen just as many Disney characters today with these new experiences than we would on an ordinary day at Magic Kingdom — we might have even seen more! We also saw something else pretty interesting!
Although Gaston might be a villain alongside his sidekick LeFou, we can’t help but love their quirky relationship!

And, if you LOVE the original and live-action films, you’re in for a binge-worthy treat (no, it’s not five dozen eggs)!
With a name like the “Five Dozen Eggs Slush” — we didn’t quite know EXACTLY what we were in for at the Villains After Hours!
Villains Unite the Night
But we DID know where to find it, of course! After all, Gaston is the only Disney Villain we know of who eats five dozen eggs on the reg, so it’s off to his Fantasyland watering hole we go!
