food IS a theme park
It’s never a dull week in Disney World!
It takes a lot to keep Disney World running!
This week we’ve learned about mysterious patents, big ride queue changes, and there was even a power outage! Let’s get right into all the unexpected Disney World news this week.
So many unexpected things happen at Disney World, and it’s part of why we enjoy going back EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Disney Animals are so unpredictable and fun
From abandoned DOLE Whips (😭) to lonely balloons to fun Cast Member antics, we LIVE for those surprises. But when it comes to the best unexpected events, we have to give mad props to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, that is full of animals, which — as we all know — are quite unpredictable.
Hello, DFB friends! We hope 2022 is treating you well so far!
Do we ever get sick of DOLE Whip treats? Never!
We’re just enjoying this bit of quiet time at Disney World before the next big festival (Oh, EPCOT Festival of the Arts, we are SO ready to eat ALL your noms), but that doesn’t mean that things aren’t changing at Disney World restaurants. We’ve got some menu updates for you that you’ll need to know about! So here we go!
Have you had trouble finding a certain piece of merchandise in Disney World lately? You’re not alone! Over the past few months, Disney has been dealing with supply issues, and it’s affecting both restaurants and merchandise locations across the property. It seems like those supply chain issues are even impacting people on the distant planet of Batuu!
Bright suns from Galaxy’s Edge!
Over at Savi’s Workshop in Galaxy’s Edge, things are looking a little different. Let’s take a look at what’s going on in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
There’s a lot to love about Disney’s Beach Club Resort. For starters, the sand-bottom pool is pretty amazing, the location could not be any better, and the dining options are SUPER popular!
🎶 Let’s go to the beach-each, let’s go get a wave🎶
If you’re looking for a sweet treat, make a reservation at Beaches and Cream and get yourself some ice cream. Hoping to grab a snack by the pool? Visit Hurricane Hanna’s Grill! And we couldn’t forget the real star of the Beach Club Resort: the Cape May Cafe, which serves delicious breakfast foods all morning! But lately, we noticed something strange about the Cape May Cafe, so let’s investigate!🕵️
Planning on visiting the Most Magical Place on Earth soon? There are lots of things to think about including tickets, hotels, Park Pass reservations, dining reservations, and more.
Welcome to Disney World!
But if you’re bringing an electric vehicle, you’ll have even more to think about! Where are the charging stations? Are there any charging stations at the parks? What does it cost to charge your electric car there? Well worry no longer. Today we’re breaking down some of the top things you need to know if you’ll be bringing an electric car to Disney World!
It’s time to take a look at all the construction going on around Disney World!
Magic Kingdom
2021 was filled with tons of different projects as Disney spruced up the parks for the 50th-anniversary and, while we had a few months where things calmed down, refurbishments are BACK in full swing throughout the parks and resorts. So, this week we’re seeing what’s being done at an upcoming attraction in Magic Kingdom, a newly closed fan-favorite ride in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and more — let’s get to it!
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: you don’t need a park ticket to find some of the BEST snacks in Disney World! Between Disney’s hotel-exclusive foods and drinks (looking at you, Polynesian Resort) and a vast array of options at Disney Springs, there’s plenty to eat outside of the four Disney parks.
Who needs a park ticket when you have Disney Springs?
If you’re looking for a tried-and-true snack that won’t let you down, you might want to visit Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs. At DFB, we RAVE about Gideon’s specialty cookies and cakes each month, and January is no exception! But for ONE DAY ONLY, another exclusive treat is making its way to Gideon’s Bakehouse. Let’s take a look!
Although it’s been almost two years since Disney World reopened, many of the resort’s entertainment options still haven’t returned.
A fan favorite entertainment group has returned!
But we’ve seen entertainment gradually being reintroduced into the parks, with the return of some adjusted shows like A Celebration of the Festival of the Lion King, the daytime Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmastime Parade, and the Candlelight Processional during EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays. And this weekend, we saw a fan-favorite entertainment group back at Disney World!
Guests were up bright and early today in Disney World — and some were even dressed up for a special occasion! It’s not Halloween, the holidays are over, so what’s so special about this weekend?
Good morning from Disney World!
It’s a runDisney marathon weekend! The Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend is running (get it?) from January 5th-January 9th, and we were in the parks this morning cheering on the runners! Come along with us as we check out the first Disney marathon of 2022!
