food IS a theme park
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!
Rummy!
Ahoy, mateys! Today’s video is packed tighter than a treasure chest on a stormy sea—because we’re stepping inside Magic Kingdom’s brand-new pirate tavern, The Beak and Barrel, for the VERY first time! Disney also dropped some MAJOR news regarding the Muppets Rock ‘n’ Roller coaster retheme, updates for Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin, the opening date for Zootopia, Better Zoogether, and more!
In case you missed it, Disney World closures have been announced, and I cannot stop thinking about them.
Closed for Refurbishment
When you hear “refurbishment,” you probably imagine a quick touch-up and some new paint. But right now, we’re looking at closures that are either massive in scope, packed with big changes, or involve fan-favorite attractions that already feel too risky to tinker with. These are not just minor updates, and if you’re like me, you’re probably wondering what Disney will actually do behind those construction walls. Let’s get into the closures that are keeping me up at night.
You know that one restaurant you’ve always wanted to try, but hesitated because you just couldn’t quite gauge how good it is (or isn’t). For many of us, that might be somewhere around Disney World that feels a bit fancier. But we’re here to set the record straight about the prices, the menu, and everything you’re going to love about it in between!
Wolfgang Puck Bar and Grill
We recently stopped by Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill at Disney Springs to scope out the menu offerings and give some menu items a try, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here!
It’s almost here, our favorite EPCOT festival of the year!
Spaceship Earth
Of course, we’re talking about EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival. The annual celebration of global cuisine in Disney World is a few days away, and Disney has gotten us even more excited by dropping a first look at the brand-new merch coming! Guess what…we’re going to show it to you.
We just got some huge news on Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin!
Buzz Lightyear!
Whether it’s the coming of massive lands or the upgrading of already existing rides, Magic Kingdom is undergoing a MASSIVE transformation period. We’re taking a quick focus on Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin, as the popular ride is undergoing a lengthy refurbishment period. This includes updates and enhancements to the attraction. Well, we just found out about some of those updates, and we’re here to share them with you!
A part of the wild animal world of Zootopia is AMLOST HERE, Disney World fans.
After literal years of blue sky fantasizing, we officially know when a Zootopia attraction is opening at Animal Kingdom! While it’s not the clone of the Shanghai Disneyland Zootopia that some were hoping for, it’s still a brand-new attraction set in the world.
Disney dropped news of another refurbishment coming to Disney World!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge has been going through lots of refurbishment plans, and they’re adding another to that list. Let’s take a look at the details!
We’ve eaten EVERYWHERE around Disney World, and that means we know the ins and outs of the best places to stop on your next Disney World trip. While we’ve eaten some incredible meals lately at table service restaurants, you might be wondering where we’d recommend you stop to grab a bite to eat if your day at the parks doesn’t include stopping for a time-consuming meal. So naturally, we’re letting you in on our secret spot!
So! Cheesy!
We recently stopped by Pizza al Taglio at EPCOT to see what was cookin’, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here!
The holiday season is right around the corner, which means it’s almost time to get festive at Disney World!
Jollywood Nights
Disney World loves to embrace the holiday fun at the end of the year with events like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom, the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, and Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Speaking of the Hollywood Studios party, Disney has recently confirmed some pretty big Jollywood Nights features, and we’re letting you know all about ’em!
Let’s talk about the most wonderful time of the year at Disney World!
Mickey at Hollywood & Vine
Halloween has begun at Disney World, and there have already been a couple of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party nights — but that is NOT what we’re talking about. We’re, of course, talking about Christmastime at Disney World! It’s not only because we’re looking forward to the jolly season (yes, we know it’s August), but also because the dates have dropped for a popular Disney World Christmas dining experience!
