food IS a theme park
Don’t let this surprise bit of Disney magic go to waste if you’re lucky enough to experience it!
Pinocchio and Geppetto
If you’re SUPER lucky, you might stumble upon a rare and unexpected magical moment right in the middle of EPCOT! The next time you find yourself in the American Adventure Pavilion, keep an eye out for this special occurrence… but make sure you play it right so you don’t fumble it!
Spring is such a great time to visit Disney World. You get to see all the flowers in bloom and the beautiful topiaries (and eat all the food) at the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival. Special Easter displays are available to see at Disney World hotels, and spring snacks are available almost everywhere.
Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny
However, one of our favorite parts of spring in Disney World is a meet and greet with two VERY rare characters. They’re so rare that you only get to see them for a limited time each year. We’re happy to confirm that Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny are now meeting with guests in Magic Kingdom.
We think we found the cutest version of Mickey Mouse, and we have photo evidence.
Mickey!
We recently visited Disneyland Paris, and while doing many things felt familiar with some of our favorite attractions and snacks, there was a magical twist that made Disneyland Paris so special. We found the main mouse himself over in Paris, but this is an outfit we’ve never seen before.
We’re still struggling to believe that it’s somehow almost November (time FLIES!), and while that means there are only two more months of the year, it does mean that the holiday season is about to take over Disney World in FULL force.
Santa Duffy at Jollywood
If you’re a big fan of the holidays, this is probably one of your favorite times of the year. While we’re looking forward to all the special holiday merchandise, snacks, and decor that’s about to be up all around the parks, if you’re especially a big fan of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you won’t want to miss the nine new additions hitting the parks for Jollywood Nights this year!
Disney just announced even more holiday fun, and y’all, if you haven’t grabbed tickets to Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios, you might want to check your calendar and buy a set of tickets.
@Disney
One of my favorite parts of Jollywood Nights last year was meeting all the different characters you can’t normally see around the park. Now, even more have been added, making it a total character palooza.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios just debuted some NEW character meet and greets! With the closure of Animation Courtyard to make way for The Walt Disney Studios, some rare character sightings have popped up in Hollywood Studios.
Bert and Mr. Penguin
You will find these new character meet and greets on Hollywood Boulevard just in front of the entrance to Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. We spotted them right around the Central Stage area. We got a chance to meet all the new characters and snap a few quick pics of them!
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is finally here, and we can’t wait to celebrate!
Time to celebrate!
We’re at the party allll night so we can tell you all about what to expect this year. We’re covering all the merchandise, entertainment, treats, and everything in between, but a lot of guests come to this party to meet some of their favorite rare characters. If you’re hoping to meet as many characters as you can, or just catch your ultimate favorite, here’s a full list of all the Disney characters you can meet at the party!
Happy Valentine’s Day, DFB Friends.
2024 Valentine’s Day at Disney’s Boardwalk
Now, Valentine’s Day is one of our favorite holidays to celebrate in Disney World, mostly because we love all the Valentine’s Day treats (and ALL the chocolate snacks!). However, Valentine’s Day also brings some rare characters to the parks. Now yesterday, we celebrated Villaintine’s Day with Cruella De Vil and Jafar, but today, we’re celebrating Valentine’s Day with even MORE rare characters!
In just a few days, Valentine’s Day will be HERE.
2024 Valentine’s Day at Disney’s Boardwalk
Now, you might not appreciate Valentine’s Day sitting at home, but if you’re going to be in Disney World for Valentine’s Day (honestly, it’s a GREAT place to celebrate everything you love), you’re in for a real treat. You’ll get to check out a TON of Valentine’s Day-themed snacks throughout Disney World, but you’ll also get to see some SUPER rare characters. That’s because Valentine’s Day often brings out some of Disney’s most iconic couples for this special day of ROMANCE.
Characters are a ton of fun to interact with while hanging out in the Disney World parks!
We love meeting characters in Disney World!
Meeting characters is not just for kids! Kids and adults alike enjoy these special interactions. Hugging your favorite character can make anyone’s day extra special. There are some characters that you can find regularly around the parks. Joy, Mickey, Minnie, Ariel, Edna Mode, Olaf, and more have daily meet and greets in designated locations that you can visit. However, there are a few characters that roam at random times on random days, and some characters are extremely RARE to see out and about. The other day, we stumbled upon one of these rare meet-and-greets!
