food IS a theme park
The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has developed a huge reputation!
EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
Many guests plan their Disney trips around this popular festival to try all of the tasty bites, unique sips, and really fun beats!
For many of us, Starbucks is a way of life.
Mango Dragonfruit Refresher with Coconut Milk
We can’t start our morning (or Disney World day) without our Starbucks drink, and we even have collections of Starbucks tumblers and ornaments. Well, as we know, price increases happen EVERYWHERE, including at Starbucks, and now some Starbucks drinks are going to cost extra.
OK OK OK don’t come at me I KNOW a lot of you are huge fans of Chuuby from Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disneyland. In our WhatsApp thread for DFB there is HUGE LOVE for Chuuby, so heads up if you are a part of the Chuuby fan club!
Chuuby!
He’s already got two pairs of ears that you probably have in your collection (these ones, and these ones), but a new pair of CHUUBY-CENTRIC ears have just dropped in EPCOT!
(OK he IS kind of cute, but maybe I’m still a little bit salty about Great Movie Ride.)
These new finds are the see-through ones that we’ve already seen online and in Disneyland, but it’s a first for us to see them in EPCOT.
What do Mickey Bars, Dole Whips, and Cheeseburger Spring Rolls have in common?
Columbia Harbour House
They are all pretty iconic Magic Kingdom snacks. Whether you’re looking for a sit-down meal or would prefer to eat on the go, there are lots of food options in Disney World’s most popular park to choose from. Columbia Harbour House, a quick service location in Liberty Square, typically is a great spot when you’re trying to please a variety of tastes. How did that reputation hold up on a recent midday trip? Let’s find out.
So, we were in Magic Kingdom (’cause we’re in Magic Kingdom almost every day), and we saw a SURPRISE AND DELIGHT!
Cinderella Castle
What’s a SURPRISE AND DELIGHT you ask (and by the way, you don’t have to capitalize SURPRISE AND DELIGHT every time you reference it, but, you know, it’s pretty cool)? It’s when Disney ushers forth even MORE magic than usual as a little bonus for the guests in the park that day. And while we were walking around Fantasyland recently, we spotted something pretty delightful that you need to see!
May is here and we think you could use a deal!
Disney Merch
Ready to add some magic to your shopping cart? We’ve discovered some Disney-themed items on Amazon that are sure to delight any fan!
How many of you are loving pet owners? (And that includes being both pet owners who love their pets…and people who love people who are pet owners…that’s OK too.)
Slinky Dog Dash
Either way, you should know that Disney and pets keep finding their way back to each other! There are ways you can bring your dog to Disney World with you (but it may cost you a pretty penny), and you probably know there’s TONS of Disney pet merchandise we see as well. But it also seems that many Florida residents name their beloved four-legged friends after Disney characters!
You may have hopped on the Disney World monorail, Spaceship Earth, or Peter Pan’s Flight dozens of times — but on how many of those occasions have you sat back and thought “Hmm. I wonder how and when this ride was last inspected?”
Disney World
Perhaps you’ve thought about it once or twice, or maybe it’s never even crossed your mind. You’re at Disney World, where the false sense of security is STRONG (until you hit a technical issue that requires an evacuation, maybe). Even if you’ve never considered just how the Mouse uses his mouseketools to ensure the attractions you love are in tip-top shape, it seems others have — namely, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida legislature. Over the past few weeks, some major talk has come up about changing how Disney World’s rides are inspected and how the monorail is evaluated for its safety. Now, we’re taking a look at some of the unique things this discussion has revealed and just how things could be changing soon.
How are you celebrating Disney’s 100th Anniversary?!
Disney World
The festivities have made their way to Disneyland and Disney World — from treats to decor to, of course, merch, Disney is celebrating in true Disney fashion. And soon, we’ll have another reason to celebrate because the latest Disney 100 collection will be here soon!
Something NEW is starting to pop up in more and more Disney World hotels and you need to know about it.
Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter
Disney World hotels have changed quite a bit over the past few months from the return of free overnight hotel parking for guests to hotel restaurant menu overhauls and other adjustments. But now we’ve started to see something else happening in the resorts.
