Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video today, and we’re going on a Disney World Resort Snack Scavenger Hunt!
So many classic and iconic snacks can be found in the Disney World parks. But the Disney World resort hotels have some snack headliners (as well as some hidden gems) of their own! And lots of them are definitely worth going out of your way for, even if you aren’t staying at a particular Resort! So join us on a Disney World Resort Snack Scavenger Hunt! [Read more…]
Hi there! We’re back with another DFB Video today, and we’re reviewing the new restaurants at Walt Disney World’s Caribbean Beach Resort!
The months of waiting are over… after a lengthy refurbishment, Caribbean Beach Resort is once again operating at full force, with a new guest check-in area and three new and updated restaurants! Sebastian’s Bistro is the Resort’s new table service option, while Banana Cabana is the entirely revamped pool bar. And Centertown Market is where guests will find Counter Service meals along with grab and go options. We’re bringing you to all three spots in our latest DFB YouTube Video and letting you know what we think! [Read more…]
Planning what to do each day during your Walt Disney World Vacation is so much fun. You find yourself daydreaming about the magical memories you’ll create, including seeing the smiles on your children’s faces as they meet their favorite characters, ride their favorite attractions, and more. And your best day ever is topped off with a dazzling theme park fireworks display.
But, running from ride to ride at Walt Disney World can be exhausting. Have you ever considered taking a day off to explore the possibilities beyond the theme parks? Walt Disney World encompasses 47 square miles of magic including lakes, wilderness, shopping, dining, recreation, entertainment, spas, and even a wedding chapel! [Read more…]
We bid a sad kwaherini to our beloved Peanut Butter Brownie at the Mara at Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom Lodge this summer, but we’re thrilled to say: it’s back! But things aren’t precisely as they were. The original Peanut Butter Brownie was a dense chocolate brownie completely covered in creamy peanut butter frosting.
Just in time for the Halloween season, Trader Sam’s revealed its newest Haunted Mansion themed tiki mug! This year the mug features everyone’s favorite Hatbox Ghost!!
This guy is the latest in a series of mugs that come out every year around this time. They’re always limited edition, and they always cause a serious stir! (And by stir I mean hours-upon-hours long lines, carefully rationed wristbands, and a dedicated cadre of guests who are willing to spend an entire day hoping they’ll get one of the few available.)
If you don’t know who the Hatbox Ghost is, well, then you need to book yourself a trip to Disneyland ASAP! He can be found hitchhiking (of course) right after the ride through the attic in Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion. (In case you’re not sure you’ve got the right one, he’s the ghost that every single camera phone is trying to capture the best video of as you turn that quick corner!)
November marks 90 years of fun (and “oh boys!”) courtesy of Mickey Mouse — and the Walt Disney Company is celebrating the main mouse with a two-hour prime-time television event on November 4! It is appropriately named Mickey’s 90th Spectacular — and we got a sneak peek when we attended the taping this weekend!
It was a long wait, but the doors finally opened on the much anticipated Centertown Market, Banana Cabana, and Sebastian’s Bistro at Disney World’s Caribbean Beach Resort this week. We were there on opening day to check out what’s new, get the vibe, and, of course, try the new food and drinks available at these locations!
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort has been undergoing a long refurbishment that includes the addition of the new Skyliner system as well as a complete makeover of their dining locations and more. We tried Banana Cabana for drinks and apps, and Sebastian’s for lunch, then we were on to dinner at Centertown Market. [Read more…]
The 2018 Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic will take place on Friday, October 26, and Saturday, October 27, 2018.
And this event — which will mark its 9th anniversary this year — is one of my absolute annual favorites!
This two-night fall event coincides with the 2018 Epcot Food and Wine Festival and includes The Causeway (which features more than 90 food and beverage stations with dishes from the resort’s 17 restaurants and lounges as well as more than 30 wineries) and four special food areas — Carnival Corner, Beer Garden, Chinatown, and NEW for 2018, The Pig & Poke — along with Educational Seminars.
And this week, we attended a Preview Event to see what’s in store, and let you know what you’ve just GOT to eat on the Causeway this year at the Classic!
First up, from Cib’s Smokehouse is roasted and smoked Iberico pork, fennel puree, honey caramelized apple, and buttered turnip.
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort has been quite the center of attention this week! We’re bringing you one another first look from Old Port Royale: the newly renovated Calypso Trading Post!
Before the renovations, Calypso Trading Post was a bit outdated with bright contrasting colors and patterns. Check out Calypso Trading Post’s sleek new island-inspired look!
The decor is simple and rustic but still gives off a laid-back tropical vibe – LOVE the stacked crates and tall shuttered doors!
