food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another DFB Video, and today we’re talking about the latest Disney news.
Cinderella Castle
Some major ride malfunctions, new construction at EPCOT, and what’s going to happen to all those dining reservations when they shorten the park hours?? We’ve got the details on all of that and MORE!
If you’re looking for a unique souvenir in Disney World, EPCOT is a great place to start!
Spaceship Earth
We’ve spotted a TON of awesome new merchandise around World Showcase lately! Whether you’re interested in a Norway spirit jersey, France-inspired Minnie Ears, or adorable gelato-themed merch, there are so many great options to choose from!
Yep, we think we’ll be hanging on to this pin!
Trader Sam’s Menu
Is anyone else missing Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort as much as we are?? If so, we found a tiny trinket to give you a little touch of tiki in your life!
We’ve found some awesome new additions in Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
From super stylish new Vera Bradley face masks to artwork featuring some of our favorite Disney snacks, we’ve found a treasure trove of new merchandise around Disney Springs today! And we still have MORE to share!
We’ve been keeping a close eye on the Cinderella Castle refurbishment!
Magic Kingdom
There was a lot of preparation involved in refurbishing Cinderella Castle — as we saw with the “paint-by-number” situation on the castle earlier this summer! In order to complete the updates, the surrounding moat was drained, and we hadn’t seen it returned to its former glory since the parks reopened — until today!
We spotted several fun new additions at Mouse Gear today!
Mouse Gear
EPCOT has been on fire when it comes to new merch lately! We’ve seen adorable new Macaron Minnie Ears, a Norway Spirit Jersey, Viking Mickey Ears, and MORE! But World Showcase isn’t the only place we’ve spotted fun new merchandise!
The Disney World parks have now reopened, but some attractions and entertainment offerings are still unavailable, including several shows which involve live performers.
Disney World
While Disney had planned to call performers back for rehearsals ahead of the park reopenings, the Actor’s Equity Association unanimously rejected Walt Disney World’s plan for the safety of its members.
One of our top tips for visiting Disney World is to make sure you stay HYDRATED!
Free Cup of Water
And while guests can get free cups of water at quick service restaurants around the parks, we like to bring along a reusable water bottle as well to make sure we’ve got a backup stash! So, when we spotted some cute new water bottles on our visit to EPCOT today, we just had to share!
The Hollywood Tower Hotel is a star in its own right — so it’s only fitting that it has its own merch!
Tower of Terror
We’re constantly on the lookout for merchandise themed after our favorite attractions! And while the Tower of Terror Minnie Ears we spotted a few weeks ago quickly sold out, we found some NEW items on our trip to Disney’s Hollywood Studios today!
