food IS a theme park
Radio Disney was such an important part of our childhood!

It’s also been great to listen to this year — which has been a year, to say the least — because it’s always playing positive upbeat music that the entire family can enjoy! [Read more…]
This year has been filled with challenges, and that’s certainly true for The Walt Disney Company as well.

We’ve seen a massive restructuring in the entertainment aspect of the company; and Disney theme parks around the world temporarily closed, some reopened, and then some closed again. We’ve also seen large layoffs announced for the Parks, Experiences and Products division. But, today, just days ahead of Disney’s Virtual Investor Day, Disney stock is trading at some of the highest values its seen all year.
Disney’s fan club, D23, has spent every month of 2020 releasing a new limited edition Mickey Mouse Plush! That’s one plush per month!

And we’ve seen some absolutely fantastic plushes in the collection, including a Mickey dressed up like Walt Disney, a Mouseketeer Mickey, and even an Animation-inspired Mickey!
The cruise industry has been immensely impacted by the global health crisis.

Disney has noted that the Disney Cruise Line will likely be the last segment of the business to return, and other cruise companies are contending with similar lengthy closures. Now, despite Carnival Cruise Line announcing a resumption of operations prior to the end of 2020, more companies (Carnival included) are announcing delays.
Here at DFB, we’re all about some Disney-themed Christmas presents!
Zootopia Plushes
In fact, we like them so much that we’ve even compiled several Disney-themed gift guides for the holiday season! We’ve put together guides for those who miss old-school EPCOT, bread lovers (with some Disney touches), Childless Millennial Disney fans, and even a guide dedicated to all the awesome Disney toys to check out this year. All these guides include gifts you can shop online, but if you’re planning on ordering a Christmas present from shopDisney, then you only have a limited number of days left to guarantee that you get your gifts by Christmas!

Last month, Orange County, the county in which Disneyland is located, was pushed back into the severe purple tier for COVID-19 cases. Now, as nearby Los Angeles County has been placed under a safer-at-home order, the city of Los Angeles is following suit.
If you’re anything like us, you shopped ’til you dropped this weekend with all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales.
DFB Merchandise
And like us, you probably still have some more shopping to do. Luckily, we’ve compiled a bunch of gift guides, and even put together a guide for all your DFB merch wants and needs (you’re welcome 😉). Our store has lots of fun, Disney-inspired stuff — but if you want to get it in time for Christmas, you’d better make like Dash from The Incredibles, and HURRY to get shopping!
The 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays has officially begun and we’ve been eating our way around all the food booths, checking out the cool merchandise, and enjoying all the festive entertainment!
Las Posadas with Mariachi Cobre
One of our favorite live performances at the festival this year is Las Posadas with Mariachi Cobre! And while you can see photos and watch some of our videos of this great group, tomorrow you’ll actually get to watch them LIVE as they perform thanks to some special Disney magic!
If you’re looking for the ultimate blend of Disney theming and a tropical getaway, a vacation on Disney Cruise Line might be the perfect trip!
Castaway Cay
Even though Disney Cruise Line sailings are currently suspended, guests are still able to plan for future trips. Recently, we’ve even seen updates on cruise ship construction and changes to the Port Canaveral terminal. And today, Disney Cruise Line has made some updates to their cancellation policy and final payment deadlines!
Tangled is one of those Disney movies that we’ve always felt is completely underrated!
Dooney & Bourke Tangled Tote
Not only did it give us one the most endearing princesses of the modern age, Rapunzel, but it also introduced us to the smolder — the DEEP SMOLDER — of Flynn Rider! And although we see Rapunzel on bags, Funko Pops, and toys, we rarely see Flynn Rider on anything! BOO!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
