We’re bringing you a food news round-up today, but our thoughts are with our co-workers, friends, and readers who are in the path of Hurricane Irma.

The Walt Disney World Resort is closed today and tomorrow due to Hurricane Irma. All theme parks, water parks, Disney Springs, and the ESPN Wide World of Sports closed last night and will remain closed tomorrow.

We are also seeing reports that guests are being told that resort hotel dining will be available until 3 p.m. today and a curfew will be imposed beginning at 7 p.m. tonight.

We’ll continue to keep you all updated with Hurricane Irma information as we get it.

We have a lot to share with you this week, so let’s jump right in…

DFB Reader Finds

If you find a fun new food — or other edible awesomeness — in or around Disney, share a photo with us on facebook or twitter so we can add it to our DFB Reader Finds each Sunday.

We recently shared the BEST tip for making Mickey Waffles at home (hint: it’s all in the MIX) and DFB reader Lauren Jenkins was sweet enough to share her bounty of Mickey Waffles with us. (Sadly it was just a photo…but they look delicious).

Remember when we told you about the SECRET MENU TOTS at Disneyland’s River Belle Terrace? Well, DFB friend @DisneyOldsters remembered and they made it to River Belle Terrace and enjoyed some of the tots.
