food IS a theme park
We’re back with ANOTHER update on the Jungle Cruise!
Jungle Cruise
In case ya missed it, the Jungle Cruise in both Disney World and Disneyland is getting a pretty extensive reimagining. And while the Disneyland ride is temporarily closed for the project, the Magic Kingdom version is staying OPEN! That means we’ve been hopping aboard constantly to bring you the latest progress. And today, we spotted another change.
Are YOU planning on heading to Disney World for the Halloween season this year?
Magic Kingdom
If you are, you might be considering dropping the hefty ticket prices to head to Disney After Hours BOO Bash, the special event replacing Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this year. We got a LOT of news about the BOO Bash today like decorations announcements and character information — and now we know a few more details about the FOOD!
This year, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has been canceled, but the NEW After Hours BOO BASH event is set to bring some Halloween fun to the parks.

Earlier today, Disney released information about the dates and pricing of the BOO BASH tickets. But, just how do the price of these tickets compare to the previous price of tickets for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party? We’re breaking it down for you here!
We hope you’re feeling SPOOKY!

We’ve got a LOT of news about this year’s brand-new Disney After Hours BOO Bash, the Halloween event that’s set to replace Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in the Magic Kingdom. We’ve learned about the dates, the tickets, and even the NEW decorations we’ll see. Now, let’s take a look at what CHARACTERS we’ll spot!
You’ve heard of the Jungle Cruise, you’ve heard of the backside of water, but have you heard of Jungle Navigation Co. Skipper Canteen!? That’s right! We’re bringing you a review from the punniest and most adventurous restaurant in Magic Kingdom.
Skipper Canteen Spread
We’re headed over to Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland to try out a restaurant we’ll be calling Skipper Canteen for this review (since that full name is SUPER lengthy). This is the only table service restaurant in Adventureland and easily the home of most of the more interesting meals that you can find in Magic Kingdom. We love this restaurant and think it’s a rock-solid addition to Magic Kingdom, yet many guests take it for granite. It’s definitely one of the boulder choices for dining in Disney World’s original park. (We should apologize now: buckle up — it’s gonna be a lot of Jungle Cruise jokes!)
We’re getting closer and closer to Halloweentime in Disney World!

Last month, Disney announced that the Disney After Hours BOO Bash would be replacing Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Magic Kingdom this year. This more limited event is the first full after-hours event we’ve seen in Disney World since the park closures and now we know a lot more about tickets and dates! Spoiler alert: This event is EXPENSIVE. 😳
Things in Disney World can be very magical, but not everything always goes exactly to plan.
PeopleMover
Rides, restaurants, and forms of Disney World transportation can sometimes experience issues that cause them to shut down for a large part of the day or be evacuated. In mid-April the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover was evacuated in Magic Kingdom and today it was evacuated again!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom
And, we’ve got plenty of updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
Boy have we eaten a LOT today in Disney World.
Rainbow Dome Cake
It’s the first day of June, which means we’ve been sampling all the Pride Month eats in the parks. That includes giant cake slices, Dole Whip cocktail flights, and so much more! But we’re not done just yet. Because we’re stopping for a refreshing pick-me-up in Magic Kingdom! [Read more…]
ICYMI: the Jungle Cruise is undergoing a pretty big reimagining!
Jungle Cruise
We’re seeing a hefty retheme — including a new storyline! — debut on both coasts for this classic attraction, and we’ve been closely following the progress. In Magic Kingdom, that means hoppin’ aboard the ride (which is remaining open throughout the project) to see what’s new. And today, we spotted somethin’ a little different!
