food IS a theme park
What’s up, DFB friends? We’ve been back to Magic Kingdom to see what’s new.
Welcome to Adventureland!
So for all the updates, just keep on reading, because we’ve got a few for you!
Disney World has definitely had some high-tech updates lately.

With complimentary MagicBands discontinued, guests were able to instead welcome the use of smartphones as your pass to get around Disney World. Park ticket, room key, mobile payment, ride photos — you name it! Your phone can do a lot with MagicMobile, and now we’re seeing more signs of this change in the parks.
Hello from EPCOT!
We Could Stare at This View Forever
Over the past few days, we’ve made some trips to EPCOT to see what’s new in terms of food, merchandise, construction (that EPCOT Transformation is still in FULL force), and more! On our recent trips we found some snacks have returned to some of the EPCOT pavilions, a NEW Mickey-shaped treat has appeared, and much more. So, join us now for a virtual trip around the park to see what’s new!
This Gate Will Be Open Soon!
We cannot wait to chow down on some Disneyland favorites, check out our favorite rides, and more! While you’re in Disneyland, you’ll probably want to capture ALL of those special memories, take some great PhotoPass photos, and maybe download those on-ride images. And now Disney has a NEW PhotoPass package for you to buy so you can do just that!
Happy Earth Week, DFB friends!
Animal Kingdom’s Tree of Life
Disney’s Animal Kingdom has been celebrating all month long with sweet treats, special experiences, and visits from rare characters. We even found a new beer! But if you just can’t get enough of Earth Week, there’s a new photo spot where you can mark the occasion.
Have you visited Disney World’s flagship park in a while?
Severe weather in Magic Kingdom
We positively love strolling the streets of Magic Kingdom, especially when that means we get to look for news to tell YOU. Sometimes, that means braving some pretty wild weather, but we’ve still got all the latest news from the park!
Ever wanted to remember a SUPER special moment in Disney World?
Cinderella Castle
That’s where Disney’s Capture Your Moment service comes in! This experience is a professional photoshoot with a PhotoPass photographer, intended to recognize special occasions like birthdays, engagements, adoptions, graduations, and SO much more. Previously, you had to call Disney to book this service. But now, Disney’s made it way easier on ya!
Disney World has changed their face mask policy a few times over the last few months.
What Do You Think of This Mask?
Recently, Disney announced a BIG change in its mask policy when it comes to photos. Previously, guests had to keep on their masks at all times (except when actively eating and drinking while stationary and physically distanced from others) — and that meant that masks had to be kept on while taking photos. Disney just made a change to that policy when it comes to outdoor photos and today we got to experience it in action.
There’s a NEW way to navigate Disney World today!

The NEW Disney MagicMobile service debuted in Disney World today. That means you can now use your Apple Smartphone or watch to scan into the parks in lieu of a MagicBand. Like the other ticket media, this service can be used for other park offerings as well — including Disney PhotoPass!
