food IS a theme park
As you may know, EPCOT is set to receive an all-new fireworks show celebrating the power of music — Harmonious.

The show was supposed to initially debut in the spring of 2020 but has seen a delay due to the historic park closures. We haven’t heard a new reopening date, but we’ve been keeping a close eye on EPCOT fireworks’ progress. Now, we have a pretty BIG sign that could be a step in the direction of the return of fireworks in EPCOT and the rest of Disney World.
Did you hear the news? Just last week, Mobile Order in Disney World expanded to include a Table Service restaurant for the first time, and today we’re learning a few more details on this updated feature.

But first, a bit of background: Mobile Order made its Disney World debut in May 2017. Launched within the My Disney Experience app, the feature allows guests to pre-order and pre-pay for their food at participating Counter Service restaurants, thereby saving time which would otherwise be spent in line. This recent expansion, though, introduced Mobile Order to a Table Service restaurant for the first time with To Go service from Sanaa in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. [Read more…]
We recently made the rounds to several Disney World Resort hotels to see what’s new!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
Who’s ready for an adventure?? We took a trip out to several of the EPCOT and Animal Kingdom area hotels to check out the latest additions. Here’s what’s new at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, Disney’s Beach Club Resort, Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, and Disney’s Riviera Resort!
From a Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream Mac-Tini to a Pumpkin Spice Sundae — we feel like we’ve died and gone to pumpkin heaven!
Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream Mac-Tini
Well, today we tried another pumpkin flavored treat in Disney World — this time in the form of a coffee drink. Could it possibly beat out the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino? We had to find out!
If you’ve been following along with all the fall fun here on the DFB, then you’ve seen that Disney World is really delivering on some autumn and Halloween treats that are not only tasty, but also totally Instagram-ready.

And yet, we’re STILL finding lovely little surprises as even more festive treats continue to hit the scene. And that’s certainly true of the newly arrived Pumpkin Mousse at Disney’s Riviera Resort, which is like a little work of art AND a dessert all in one! [Read more…]
Ah, Halloween season in Disney World. Is there a better time of year?

If you’ve been keeping up with DFB, you know we’ve been trying ALL SORTS of delicious Halloween treats in and around the Disney parks — and we’ve been jamming out to the spooky entertainment too! But, that’s not the end of Halloween fun. WAY more Halloween treats are coming to Disney World and we’re taking a first look!
A new feature suddenly (or, since this is Disney we’re talking about, perhaps we should say magically) appeared on the My Disney Experience app for Walt Disney World guests recently: Mobile Dine Walk-up Waitlist!

This feature allows guests to find out with a tap on their phone which Table Service restaurants have available seating for walk-up guests. (You can see how it works here.) And the list of restaurants in Walt Disney World that offer this new feature just keeps growing… and growing! [Read more…]
Just last week, a new dining feature was added to the My Disney Experience app for Walt Disney World guests.

The new Mobile Dine Walk-Up Waitlist allows guests to view Table Service restaurants that have available seating for walk-up guests. That said, as a brand new feature, only two restaurants in Disney World were previously available on the walk-up waitlist: Sanaa in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and Topolino’s Terrace in Disney’s Riviera Resort.

Disney World has started to make some changes in the parks when it comes to hours, capacity, and more during the initial reopening.

While the park hours will be reduced starting September 8th, Disney has stated that some restaurants will remain open for guests to enjoy. However, Labor Day Weekend is happening soon…
We’ve been following along with the release of a NEW dining feature in Disney World this week.
Topolino’s Terrace Dining Room
A few days ago, we noticed that the new Mobile Dine Walk-up Waitlist feature was available on the My Disney Experience app — but it didn’t last long. A few hours after its launch, the feature had disappeared. Well, this morning, the Walk-up Waitlist is BACK! Let’s take a look!
