food IS a theme park
OK y’all — this is pretty big news.
Boma
Remember how Boma is reopening soon at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge? Well, the delicious zebra domes and signature carved meats aren’t all that this restaurant is bringing back to Disney World! BUFFETS (well, at least THIS one!) are BACK!
Here at DFB, we like to try all of Disney World’s most unusual and unique foods!
Remember the bizarre cookie with socks and flesh-colored sprinkles?
Over the years, we’ve had some unfortunate snacks, some over-the-top cuisine, and some combinations that were pretty surprising. Today, we stopped by a newly reopened spot in Magic Kingdom to try out a new menu item (and possibly to take it to the next level 😉).
Here at DFB, you know we’re all about some delicious Disney food!
Animal Kingdom Lodge
We’ve enjoyed many tasty meals in the past few months as Disney World continues to reopen many of the restaurants that were previously closed. We’ve dined at ‘Ohana, Trail’s End Restaurant, Casey’s Corner, and many other spots recently. But now another fan-favorite restaurant will be reopening soon at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge!
Ever since it first opened in December of 2019, Rise of the Resistance in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge has been arguably the most popular ride in Disney World!
Rise of the Resistance
The ride typically loads guests using a boarding group system where guests are required to open the My Disney Experience app and secure a pass at 7AM or 1PM if they wish to ride. This system has seen its changes in the last two years, but it has been the only way for guests to experience the attraction…that is, until yesterday.
Many things have been changing at Disney World in the recent months.
New Castle Sign!
We’ve seen a new design completed for Cinderella Castle, FastPass+ is no longer available, Extended Evening Hours are about to be available for select Disney hotel guests, and masks are back to being required indoors for everyone. One thing that changed last year was Disney no longer giving you free MagicBands if you were staying at a Disney hotel. And now, there is another group of guests who will also no longer receive the perk. [Read more…]
Ever since Disney Springs first reopened, we’ve seen quite a few restaurants, resorts, and attractions follow after.
Disney Springs first reopened last May.
There are still quite a few things that are closed, including the NBA Experience in Disney Springs. But now, it looks like that particular offering may not be reopening at all!
Disney has no shortage of unique purses, backpacks, and accessories for the theme park fashionistas! Now that Halloween has arrived in Walt Disney World, there is a ton of mystical merchandise perfect for the season!
Uptown Jewelers
We’ve been on the lookout for the new Halloween Harveys Mickey and Friends collection ever since we saw the preview on Twitter, and now it’s finally available in the Magic Kingdom!
While a number of restaurants, hotels, and attractions throughout Disney World have reopened over the past few months, some have remained closed.
Tortuga Tavern
One of the spots in Magic Kingdom that has been closed for quite some time is Tortuga Tavern. But, this quick service restaurant, which is typically just open seasonally, has reopened!
Disney World’s first After Hours BOO Bash party debuted on August 10th, and we gave you a front-row look at our experience.
Time for Boo Bash!
We’ve already discussed the differences between BOO Bash and Disney World’s past Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, but we wanted to break down our experience at the party and really take a look at how the parties differ. If you’ve attended Not-So-Scary but weren’t too sure about BOO Bash, this may help you make a decision.
We’ve seen the crowds increase, the wait times go up, reservations are harder and harder to get; Disney World is tough to plan right now and it seems like it keeps getting worse.
If you’re eyeing all the hoops you need to jump through to plan a trip to Disney World and thinking, “Is this really all necessary?” this video is for you.
