No matter how many times you’ve been to Disney World, you can still be totally surprised by some of the tiny (but awesome) details there that are hidden, sometimes in plain sight.
Tree of Life
You’ve probably walked past lots of these things TONS of times and never noticed them or even stopped to think about them. Today we spotted something in Disney World that you’ve probably walked past and maybe even stopped at for a significant period of time, but you probably have NO idea what one of the words on it means.
Ready for a wild adventure?

Recently, we ventured over to Disney’s Animal Kingdom to see if we could find anything new and exciting, and sure enough we found some new merch, a delicious sounding specials menu at one of our favorite spots, and more! Come along with us to explore this beautiful park.
We love when new frozen treats make their way into the parks, especially when the inevitable summer heat is drawing near.

So, we were really jazzed when we found a new frozen treat option in Disney California Adventure made from one of our favorite candies!
Our day in Animal Kingdom was jam-packed with new food, menu changes, construction, and more. But, our favorite part of the day was stopping at the Donald’s Dino-Bash Dance Party and hearing the DJ play Monster Mash and other Halloween songs mixed in with regular pop songs!

Be sure to stop by Donald’s Dino-Bash and do the Monster Mash!

It’s no secret it has been hot in Central Florida this summer — and fall so far! We’ve been keeping you updated on the free water in the parks. But while we were at Animal Kingdom we found some changes to the Ice Cream and Slushie locations, and that made us feel cool, so we’re sharing them with you!
Anandapur Ice Cream Truck
First up is perhaps the most colorful Ice Cream Truck we’ve ever seen — the Anandapur Ice Cream Truck!
Your pals at the DFB are back with What’s New, and this week we’re back at Animal Kingdom and the All-Star Resorts! We’ve got menu changes (Satu’li!!), new merchandise, and a couple new activities to share. Let’s gooooooo!
Animal Kingdom
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is definitely one of my favorite theme parks. First of all, it’s gorgeous, and second, it’s fun to just walk around even if you don’t end up doing any of the main attractions. The themeing is out of this world, and it continues right down to the smallest detail…like the ice cream and soda-pop carts!
I’ve been collecting pics of the carts for a year or so, and I finally got them all into a post together. Let’s check ’em out…
All trails lead to Discovery Island, the hub of the Animal Kingdom park.
The carts here reflect the bright colors and chunky design style of the Island’s merchandise locations. But they also carry a secret theme — the “Circle of Life!”
Splurge here and you’ll get a breathtaking view of the Tree of Life.

While contemplating a trip back to the Cretaceous period, the Dino Institute’s cart is the place to fortify before escaping the hungry grips of a big ol’ dino (Look Out!!!).

This one is, hands down, my favorite.

Heather Sievers, our Dining in Disneyland columnist, shares her recent adventure to Disneyland Paris with a whole slew-o-pics of food in the park!
This summer has been absolutely amazing. I’ve been on the go for 3 weeks all over Europe, which included an 11-day Disney Mediterranean Cruise followed by 3 days in London and 3 days in Paris. I begged and pleaded for a trip to Disneyland Paris and guess what? I got my way!
My cruise dining photos are amazing, over 1,000 of them if you can believe it, but I just couldn’t wait to share some super fun pics of the snacks and special treats that we found in Disneyland Paris.
Disneyland Paris Entrance
Only there for one short day, we really made the most of it. We spent half of the day at Walt Disney Studios and the latter half at Disneyland. Both parks were beautiful as well as FULL of amazingly yummy snacks. Unfortunately, while I did not try most of them, I did drool over the sights and smells. Enjoy!
The first thing I noticed when we entered the Toy Story Playland at the Studios was an adorable [Read more…]
