food IS a theme park
Be sure to check out our list of restaurants in the Magic Kingdom.
Hello to all of our DFB Friends from Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom
We spent some time at Magic Kingdom on New Year’s Day checking to see what 2021 updates we could find! Are you ready? Let’s go!
December has been full of restaurant reopenings, menu changes, and a brand new cookie joint at Disney Springs!
Cinderella’s Royal Table
And we’ve been covering it all to keep you updated. But if you’ve missed some announcements specifically about menu changes and updates, here are all the menu updates we’ve seen this past month!
It’s a BIG day in Disney World. 2020 is officially over!
Magic Kingdom
In the past, New Year’s Day has been one of the busiest (if not THE busiest) day of the whole year at Disney World. It’s pretty common to see the parks hit capacity on a normal year WITHOUT 2020 capacity limitations. Today…not so much. We’re checking out the CROWDS and WAIT TIMES on the first day of 2021!
In case you haven’t noticed, it’s finally 2021! We spent all day in Disney World today checking out what this New Year has to offer, including the modified return of Park Hopping!
Mickey Balloons
With the holiday season now officially behind us, we wondered what we would see today in terms of the parks returning to “normal,” so to speak. We’ll miss our beloved gingerbread treats and cheerful music, but all good things must come to an end, we suppose!
Main Street, U.S.A. just doesn’t look the same without a big bunch of Mickey balloons.
Mickey Balloons
We were strolling down Main Street today after a day of park hopping adventures when we spotted something a little different about the Mickey balloons floating above us. Are those special celebration balloons we see?!
Many Disney fans are making their first return trip to Disney World since the pandemic-related closures in 2020. If this describes you, then you are going to find many things changed in Disney World, and one thing that’s important to know for your trip planning is that Park Hopping works differently today!
Welcome to Disney World
When Disney World first re-opened in 2020, Park Hopping was suspended. The option to “hop” between Disney World parks returned in 2021, with a few modifications. We’ve been Park Hopping ever since, and we have the answers to ALL your questions!
Park hopping returns today but it’s pretty different than before the closures.
Park Hopper
Guests visiting Disney World today may have the Park Hopper ticket option that allows them to visit other parks during Park Hopper hours (after 2PM for now). The catch is that these parks CAN hit capacity and if they do, you won’t be allowed inside. Here’s what we know so far about how to check for theme park Park Hopper availability!
We hope you’ve got your sweet tooth ready!
The Grey Stuff Cupcake
The end of the holiday season means that we have the bad news of having to say bye to our favorite holiday treats. But, the good news is we get to kick-off 2021 with the return of several favorites! We’ve welcomed back the Kakamora Float and the Wookie Cookie, and now it’s time to say “OMG we missed you,” to another beloved eat!
We come to you with a tale today — one of love, loss, reunion, loss again, and REUNION AGAIN. If you’ve been around DFB for the past year or so, you know that we have a total love affair with Magic Kingdom’s Kakamora Float at Aloha Isle.
Kakamora Float
This float debuted for the 2019 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and we were SO delighted when it stuck around. It’s disappeared a few times, due to the park closures and once to make room for 2020’s holiday float. But we’re starting 2021 STRONG with the return of the Kakamora Float!
We’re HOPPIN’ into the New Year, my friends…because Park Hopping returns to the Walt Disney World theme parks as of today!
Walt Disney World Monorail in EPCOT
Park Hopping is the option to visit more than one of the four Walt Disney World theme parks per day. The program was suspended upon the initial reopening of the Walt Disney World parks in the summer of 2020. But now, guests who have purchased valid park tickets that include Park Hopper benefits can start their day in, say, Magic Kingdom, then HOP to EPCOT (or Hollywood Studios! Or Disney’s Animal Kingdom!) later in the day! [Read more…]
