food IS a theme park
We’ve gotta talk about one of our favorite Disney snacks.
Cinderella Castle
The Nutella and Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich from Sleepy Hollow Refreshments is a Disney snack icon, and you’ll find us happily munchin’ on it whenever we can. In fact, we love it SO MUCH that we made it even better with our very own hack! But if you’re hoping to grab one of these on your next trip to Magic Kingdom, we’ve got some sad news for ya.
It’s the last day of April, which means May the Fourth is just around the corner!
Want to Pilot the Millennium Falcon?
That’s Star Wars Day in case you didn’t know — and there are so many ways to celebrate it in Disney World! Not only can you order some adorable tees or collectibles before your trip, but Disney is offering several galactic treats surrounding the holiday. Today, we got to try a returning treat inspired by Baby Yoda himself!
We’ve been trying all the springtime treats around Disney World!
Now That’s One Pretty Cake!
Mother’s Day is coming up, which means the parks and resorts have rolled out a WHOLE bunch of eats for us to enjoy. We’ve already sampled a mini cake (WITH mimosa), and now we’re at Disney’s Animal Kingdom to taste some more!
One thing that’s pretty much inevitable when traveling to Walt Disney World…you’re going to have to wait in line!
Let’s go to Disney World!
There are lines for rides, shows, shops, restaurants, and everything in-between in the popular theme parks. However, if you’re paying for a trip, it makes sense that you want to make the MOST of your time and not spend ALL of it waiting in line! Recently, we reached out to our readers to find out what they think about waiting in line, and it inspired us to share some of our tips on how to avoid the wait!
You can get free buttons, park maps, and a few other things in Disney World, but how about a FREE mini-succulent?!
Time for a Trip Out to Disney Springs!
Mother’s Day is just a few days away, and in honor of the holiday you can score a FREE succulent if you make your way over to Disney Springs!
The PeopleMover is back OPEN in Magic Kingdom and we are SO happy.
PeopleMover
Can you blame us? This beloved attraction was closed for over a year with a LOT of delays to that reopening date. We were starting to lose hope! But, have no fear, we’re able to cruise along through Tomorrowland again. Today, we noticed that more parties were consistently being loaded onto each ride vehicle.Â
What’s up, DFB friends?
It’s so pretty here!
We are BACK in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, saying hello to all the animals, walking around one of the most beautiful theme parks ever, and spending some time chasing down a dino! But while we were there, we checked in to see what’s new, so let’s get on with some updates!
We’re already lookin’ ahead to summer here at DFB!
Spaceship Earth
We’re expecting plenty of heat and LOTS of crowds, but we’re excited for long days in the sun! And if you’re planning a trip to the parks, you’ll want to know how long they’ll be open. We previously knew Disney World’s park hours through July 10th, but now we’ve got ALL the details for July 11th-17th!
Disney World has definitely had some high-tech updates lately.

With complimentary MagicBands discontinued, guests were able to instead welcome the use of smartphones as your pass to get around Disney World. Park ticket, room key, mobile payment, ride photos — you name it! Your phone can do a lot with MagicMobile, and now we’re seeing more signs of this change in the parks.
This is a HUGE year for Disney World. The resort turns 50 years old!!! And there’s going to be a massive celebration starting in October and lasting through 2023. Now THAT’S a party!
Is something different here?
And that means that a lot of Disney World, including Magic Kingdom, is getting refreshed and updated. The Castle got a brand new paint job and some seriously glammed-up decor. Fantasyland is getting a golden touch-up. Even the gift shop Bonjour Village Gifts got a facelift! But there’s probably one update you may have not yet noticed at Magic Kingdom — maybe because it requires you to look up.
