food IS a theme park
Peter Pan is such a classic Disney movie with some very endearing characters.
Look at that puppers!
And we have seen some of those characters get merchandise, including Peter Pan and Wendy, Tinker Bell, and Captain Hook! But today, we found a character we haven’t seen on much merchandise at Disney World before!
We’re back to check in on all of the construction projects that are going on around Disney World right now!
Cinderella Castle
A lot of things are shifting as Disney prepares for the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebrations and, as Disney wraps up a few projects, there are more to follow. And, some of the projects may have a BIG impact on your vacation. So, let’s get to the latest updates from this week!
We are big fans of Wine Bar George — The Basket, not to mention awesome Frosé we often get from there!
Corkcicle!
But we also love the Corkcicles you can get there filled with your choice of a frozen drink. What’s better than a drink IN a reusable cup, right? And The Basket has been offering a variety of Corkcicles to choose from for a while!
We have received some BIG Disney news recently!
Cinderella Castle
Disney World will have a ticketed Halloween party is returning this year — but it’ll look a little different! Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has been canceled, but Disney After Hours BOO BASH will be taking its place and kicking off this August. We couldn’t be more excited for the treats, character encounters, and more. But what does this After Hours event’s return mean for other After Hours events (think Moonlight Magic and Villains After Hours) around the parks? These events were all canceled in 2020, with no word on when they could return.
It’s been a busy day at Disney World today! There has been a LOT going on!
Monorail!
We learned a little more about the new Club Cool at EPCOT, we got to attend the soft reopening of the Festival of the Lion King show, AND we were evacuated from Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe. It’s been a day! But now, something seems to be going on with Disney World’s Monorail!
With spring in full bloom and Pride-themed rainbows brightening up merchandise shelves, things are getting COLORFUL around Disney World!
Pretty!
This is true of the drinks, too! As evidenced by a trio of bright and beautiful new boba teas in Disney Springs!Â
LOTS of changes continue to take place in Disney World.
Cinderella Castle
2021 is a big year for the parks! Not only is it Disney World’s 50th anniversary, but the property is continuing with its phased reopening since its closure in 2020. That means we’re seeing some things opening for the first time (like the brand-new Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in EPCOT!), but other things are reopening.
Hello, DFB Friends! We’ve been busy eating our way around Mother’s Day snacks and summer treats at Disney World!
Mother’s Day Cupcake
We’ve had SO many cupcakes (like LOADS of cupcakes), a boozy strawberry lemonade, a new cronut, and more! But we haven’t forgotten to keep checking the menus at Disney World restaurants so we can keep you updated on menu changes, price increases (and sometimes decreases) and more! So let’s get on with what’s changed this week!
According to the information Disney has shared, right now Disney World is operating at 35% capacity, but that could change.
Easter Crowds on Main Street
Disney’s CEO Bob Chapek has previously commented on what it would take for Disney to increase capacity, and recent changes made in Orange County, Florida would allow for increases in theme park capacity to take place. So, we took to our Facebook and Instagram to ask you, our readers, whether you would feel comfortable if Disney increased the capacity in the parks. And here’s what you had to say!!
The day is FINALLY here!
Festival of the Lion King
Much of Disney’s live entertainment has been suspended since the parks reopened last March. But at the beginning of the year, we got some BIG news: Festival of the Lion King was returning to Disney’s Animal Kingdom! We followed closely as the show prepared to return in a modified format, and now the time has come. The “new” Festival of the Lion King debuts for its soft opening TODAY!
