food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom
And, we’ve got plenty of food, merchandise, and construction updates to share with you. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s jump right on in!
We would do a LOT of things for the treats at Gideon’s Bakehouse.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Cookie
We’ve waited hours (and trust us, it was worth it) to get inside to pick up our sweet treat fix. But what one man did for his Gideon’s is flat-out inspiring — and exhausting.
At first glance, you might look at this photo of Disney’s beloved princesses in Magic Kingdom during a cavalcade and think…how are these princesses anything like me? I don’t have a cavalcade with adoring fans waving at me (except for in my mind when I pretend to be a Hollywood A-lister as I sing my heart out in the shower).
Remember to Keep 6 Feet Apart — Even When These Ladies Show Up!
But, Disney celebrities sometimes are just like us! Those princesses for example, typically travel on a giant float. But, on this day, they were roughing it and walking the cavalcade route. Maybe they were part of a FitBit challenge at work and had to get those steps in? Maybe they’re trying to keep their New Year’s resolution to get in shape and not eat any more poisonous apples. We’ve spotted quite a few characters all around Disney World doing things that have totally made us think, “OMG. That’s SO us!” You might just be surprised at how much Disney celebrities are just like you!
We’ve been tryin’ ALL the green eats and treats in Disney World lately!
Tree of Life
From cupcakes to ice cream sammies to peppermint drinks, we’ve been ringing in St. Patrick’s Day with LOTS of feasting. And while we’re pretty sure this new Animal Kingdom drink isn’t an official St. Paddy’s Day item, it’s green…so we’re gonna count it! Let’s get sippin’.
It’s not too difficult to find construction in Disney World.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Whether teams are building something new, changing something old, or just keeping things in working order; construction is a pretty common occurrence in The Most Magical Place on Earth. We’ve heard a lot of news about resort hotel construction recently and we’re wondering: What’s next for Disney World Resort hotels?
Winnie the Pooh fans: we’ve got something new for ya!
Pooh wants to catch the honey bees, obviously
ICMYI: We’re celebrating Winnie the Pooh’s 55th anniversary this year! We’ve already seen LOTS of goodies for the occasion, like collectible keys, face masks, a whole new clothes collection, and more. But something new is on its way!
There are lots of ways you can add a little touch of Disney to your kitchen or home to add some extra magic to your day.

Recently, we’ve seen a SUPER adorable Disney home collection and some new trinket trays released. But now, we’ve found 4 new kitchen and home items for fans of Disney’s Cinderella and Pixar’s Up. What’s great is that these are practical items you could use around the house all the time or even for a special picnic (but one of them is QUITE pricey)!
It’s a new day and that means a new March Magic deal!

This month features some fantastic online savings with the March Magic sales from Disney and we’re making sure you’re in the loop! We’ve seen discounts on face masks, cups, t-shirts, and more. So what will today bring?
Some super-exclusive Disney gear has arrived online!
Cinderella Castle
A few days ago, we got EXCITED because some merchandise for D23 members was on its way! These members already get discounts and exclusive events, and the exclusive merch is an additional perk. Well, now those new items are here, so we’re gonna take a look at ’em! Let’s get started.
A lot has changed at Disney World since the reopening — character cavalcades have replaced parades, socially distanced character interactions have replaced traditional character meet and greets, and nighttime fireworks and shows have been temporarily suspended.
Boo!
Some special events, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, were also canceled last year. But, things have already been changing again in 2021 — there’s increased vaccine distribution, changing mask rules, and more. That has left us wondering…what might happen this year with Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party?
