food IS a theme park
Whether you’re having a Disney World day, a Disneyland day, or — ya’ know — a Tuesday, everybody could use a fun buddy from time to time.

Right now, Amazon has a litany of Disney shoulder buddies available!
We’re chicken tender experts here at DFB. No, really, we have tried just about all the chicken tenders across Disney World, and we have a lot of opinions about them.

New chicken tenders were released in Disney World, so you know we were braving the summer storms with raincoats and umbrellas to grab them. Y’all, these might be worth the sauce alone.
One thing you gotta’ love about Disney World this time of the year is all the fall and Halloween-themed snacks that come to the parks, hotels, and Disney Springs. We love making our way throughout the resort and trying all the new ones, which is why we recently headed to Swirls on the Water in Disney Springs.
New DOLE Whip Flight!
Swirls on the Water is THE place in Disney Springs to get DOLE Whip treats, so when we learned that some new menu items had arrived at this snack spot, we were there SO FAST to try them out. So let’s see what we thought! [Read more…]
There are tons of spots that are considered famous Disney stops. That being said, some are truly iconic, while others are just viral for the moment.
Let’s test it together!
Trader Sam’s in Disneyland! Now, THAT spot is genuinely iconic. This popular bar, located at the Disneyland Hotel, offers up seriously fun tiki cocktails, delicious food, and more. For a limited time, you can check out their Halloween menu, and here’s what we think about one of the newest items.
Thirty years is a long time to be feeding EPCOT. Over three decades, the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival has given us dishes we still think about, dishes Disney has wisely brought back again and again, and a few things that probably deserved to remain a blurry photo in an old Festival Passport.

For the Festival’s 30th anniversary, Disney decided to crack open the archives. There are 30 special Legacy Items scattered around the 2026 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, with dishes either returning from previous festivals or getting reimagined for 2026. Naturally, we tried them. And after working our way through the ones released so far, one thing became pretty clear. Nostalgia can get a dish back onto the menu, but that doesn’t mean we’re gonna like it.
Have you ever wanted to dine and drink like a pirate from Pirates of the Caribbean? Well, Disney offers you that opportunity at The Beak and Barrel in Magic Kingdom. The entire bar is pirate-themed, and, as a result, it’s a pretty popular spot where getting reservations can be difficult at times.

However, you might have better luck visiting The Beak and Barrel during a special event like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. Well, here’s your chance to visit this bar during a limited special ticketed event.
Disney Halloween merchandise has reached that dangerous point in the season where we’re starting to think, “Well, technically I could make everything I own pumpkin-shaped.” And Disney is not helping.

A new Halloween MagicBand+ has arrived online, and between Mickey pumpkins, Minnie pumpkins, bats, candy, and enough orange to be visible from approximately three lands away, we have a feeling Disney Halloween fans are going to be VERY interested in this one.
We’re counting down to 2027 because there is so much coming to Disney World. One of those is Pueblo Esperanza, the Tropical Americas-themed land coming to Animal Kingdom.

This expansion will include three rides, with one focused on Encanto, where you can enter the Casita. Disney Imagineer Joe Rohde has something very interesting to say about the ride.
Sometimes a souvenir comes along that’s simply impossible to ignore.

We’re always on the hunt for great souvenirs to add to our Disney collections, and Amazon is PACKED with incredible finds! During one of our recent searches, we came across a really unique lamp, and we just HAD to share it with you!
Pin Trading has changed a lot in the Disney parks over the years, but this year marked a big change at Disneyland Resort that makes it a lot harder for many guests, but also makes the experience better for others.
Pin trading at EPCOT
Back in May of this year, Disneyland announced that pin trading would look very different in their parks, but Disney World has yet to follow. While you can pin trade in all of the four Disney World parks, EPCOT is the main hub. However, some issues are beginning to arise with pin trading that have us wondering if Disney will soon implement the Disneyland rules over on the East Coast as well.
