food IS a theme park
Disney is about to make HISTORY! This year, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will debut a brand-new balloon starring Minnie Mouse! Isn’t it fun? Minnie knows how to rock those dots.

Well, in collaboration with Macy’s and Loungefly, Disney just debuted a NEW collection online! This could be a big hit, so check it out NOW before it’s gone.
Here at DFB, we love a food challenge!
Disney World’s Kitchen Sink Ice Cream Sundae
From a giant ice cream sundae made for four to a food crawl around a theme park, we’re usually down to try anything that’s culinarily exciting. Most often, we cover Disney food, but occasionally, we stop by other spots as well. And if you’re in Orlando, there’s a “food challenge” at the other major theme park resort you may not have tried before!
Now that the weekend is here, let’s talk about how you’re going to save on Disney merch!

The holiday season is almost upon us, and that means we’ll be spending a LOT on shopping.
It’s HERE!
And for Disney fans, it’s soooo tempting to just log onto the Disney Store daily to see what new toys, accessories, apparel, and home decor are available. If you’re a shopaholic like some of us on the DFB team, we’ve got a great deal for you!
Twinkly lights. Jingle bells. Holiday decorations. Yeah, the holiday season really is the most wonderful time of the year! Now, who’s ready to get a head start on that holiday shopping?
Magic Kingdom
If there’s one decoration you NEED this year, it’s this. We just found three NEW Disney holiday decorations that will instantly put a smile on your face. Operation: DECORATE is on.
It has been an absolutely WILD week for Disney news, you guys!
Cinderella Castle
At the beginning of the week, Disney announced closure dates for parts of DinoLand, U.S.A., a yearlong closure for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Magic Kingdom, a delayed opening timeline for The Little Mermaid show in Hollywood Studios, and the return of the Jingle Cruise holiday overlay. We covered all those announcements in a roundup earlier this week, but then Disney decided to surprise us all with even MORE news!
Disney has always had a pretty big showing at the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade in New York City.

We’ve previously scene floats devoted to Disney Cruise Line ships, as well as balloons dedicated to characters like Grogu from Star Wars (aka Baby Yoda). We’ve even seen a performance by the cast of The Lion King on Broadway to celebrate the show’s 25th anniversary in 2022. However, this year, we will see a FIRST for Disney in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade: a balloon devoted to Minnie Mouse.
Okay, parents, we know your kids have their good clothes that they don’t play in and their clothes that they play in. That’s just how it works.
Disney snacks make everyone happy
However, your kids don’t have to wear unfashionable clothes when they want to have a little fun in the sandbox. Why not grab them some fun Disney tees to make playtime even MORE fun (and your photos of playtime even better)? It just so happens that we have an ENTIRE store just for kids, and you can find a lot of fun Disney-themed styles for all your little ones. These are perfect for in the parks or at home!Â
It’s finally happening! We have an official opening date for Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe, and the hype is REAL.

Epic Universe will bring an entirely new theme park to Universal Orlando with five themed lands, and we can imagine that EVERYONE is going to want to get their hands on tickets before it opens on May 22nd, 2025. Well, you’ll want to know HOW to get your hands on those tickets, so we’ve put together a guide to help you out (warning, though: it might not be EASY to score those tickets right away).
Just when we thought we had seen all sorts of hardcore Disney souvenirs, our minds were blown once again.
Let’s go shopping!
Sure, we still love a good ol’ pair of Minnie ears and you’ll often find us rocking a Loungefly bag in the parks — but there are some Disney souvenirs and merchandise you just might not want to bring to the parks and we think we found it. Just trust us on this one.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
