food IS a theme park
We’ve been trying limited-time holiday treats all around Disney World in recent weeks, including the Holiday Lunch Box Tart, the Red Velvet Whoopie Pie, and the Menagerie Cupcake, just to name a few!
Pineapple Lanai
Today, we’re at Pineapple Lanai in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to check out another new festive frozen snack!
Whether it was in Disney World or in your hometown, restaurants experienced limited capacity restrictions beginning in March of 2020 that seemed to all but erase reservation availability. Since then, however, capacity has more or less returned to normal — but has Disney’s Advance Dining Reservation process gotten any easier?
Oak-fired Filet of Beef at California Grill
A lack of available dining reservations seems to be a hot-button topic and many readers have reached out with concerns. This led us to wonder if there were actually NO/very limited Advance Dining Reservations in Disney World. We put on our investigator hats and got to work to get an answer!
Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade is an iconic holiday parade that made its return this year at the new Very Merriest After Hours event! This year (up until now) this parade has only been available at night as part of the Very Merriest After Hours entertainment lineup, but that changes today.
Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade is back!
Starting today, Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade will be shown during the day to ALL guests in Magic Kingdom for a limited time!
Hey there, DFB friends! It’s only 3 days until Christmas and we’re here with what’s new in Animal Kingdom!
Tree of Life
We got to enjoy a VERY limited seasonal treat and we also found some cute new merchandise! Want to come along with us?
Since the movie Frozen came out, it’s become very popular in Disney World!
Queen Elsa!
You can find a ton of merchandise and snacks inspired by the movie, there is a sing-along in Hollywood Studios, and Disney even converted Maelstrom in EPCOT’s Norway pavilion over to a Frozen ride. One of the most beloved characters from the film is Olaf the snowman, and the actor who plays him, Josh Gad, just posted an amazing video featuring Olaf, but be warned — it’s a bit traumatizing!
Disney World has released a LOT of new merchandise to celebrate its 50th Anniversary, including an entire vintage collection, pricy loungewear, and even pricier Minnie Ears!
50th Anniversary Merchandise
We spotted the latest 50th Anniversary release, and we’re gonna warn you now — it’s cozy, it’s sparkly, and you can grab it online, too!
Nothing wrong with a healthy neighborly rivalry, right? Who’s got the best yard? Who passes out the best candy at Halloween? Who puts up the brightest Christmas lights around the house each year?
Wilderness Lodge
But there’s another competition afoot. If you’re both going to Disney World next year, WHO’S trip is going to be the one coming up on top? (Spoiler alert: it’s totally yours).
Planning a visit to Disney World soon? Many things have reopened and more are set to reopen soon!
Welcome to Disney World
Just recently we shared details about the reopening of Story Book Character Dining at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, Boatwright’s Dining Hall at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside, and more. Yesterday we shared that Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort will be reopening in 2022, and now we’ve got another update!
Disney World’s 50th anniversary has brought us a TON of new food!
50th Celebration Ice Cream Sandwich
We’ve tried new Dole Whips, cracked into a giant chocolate pyramid, snacked on spicy popcorn, and even tried a funnel cake hotdog (which was pretty good!). But, we just learned that some 50th foods won’t be around for much longer!
Ever since Disney Genie+ premiered in Disney World back in October, we’ve seen quite a few changes.

For those who aren’t tech-savvy, it may be a difficult system to learn, with all the rules and different times throughout the morning that attractions become available to book. But today, we got yet another change — a new (and unexpected!) offering on Genie+!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
