food IS a theme park
We’ve seen some pretty cool new Disney tech lately.
Facial recognition!
And recently, we’ve seen a lot of that tech go hands-free! Guests can use the new MagicMobile service on their phones instead of MagicBands, and they can enter Magic Kingdom using facial recognition instead of tapping a park ticket (wild right?!). But while browsing the gift shops in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we spotted a sign that a new kind of technology might be on the way.
One of the many things we love about Disney World is that everything is somehow just more magical there.

And it’s not just the beautiful castle (which is getting glammed up at the moment), or even the Cast Members who do what they can to please guests. It’s also things like spotting some cute ducks, seeing baby animals, and noticing details we hadn’t ever seen before!
We’ve got some new MagicBands to show you!
MagicBands
Earlier this year, Disney stopped offering free MagicBands to hotel guests. Since then, we’ve seen some tech-y other options for those who don’t want to pay for MagicBands — like the new MagicMobile service! But if you’re still a MagicBand fan, there have been LOTS of options (in addition to the normal MagicBands up for grabs) exclusive to resort guests and Annual Passholders. And now, a new collection is here!
If it’s food in Disney World, chances are we’ve tried it. Sure, we have our favorites, and you might too. But it doesn’t mean we love everything we try!

But this time we reached out to you, our readers, on Instagram. We wanted to know what Disney foods many of you just are not feeling. Some of the answers were pretty surprising!
Why should Hidden Mickeys get all the fun??
HUGE Hidden Mickey at Disney’s Riviera Resort
One fun way to pass the time in Disney World is to search for Hidden Mickeys. Imagineers will often hide Mickey designs in different elements around the parks and resorts. He could appear in anything from decor, to seasonal displays, to park attractions. We’ve even seen a Hidden Mickey inside a CUPCAKE! But did you know there are also some Hidden MINNIES around Disney World??
There are a number of restaurants that have yet to reopen at Disney World following last year’s closures, including Cape May Cafe at Disney’s Beach Club Resort!

While Beach Club is not scheduled to reopen until May 3oth, we noticed some activity happening at Cape May Cafe that caught our attention!
Move over, Flame Tree Barbecue: we found some more really good mac and cheese in Disney World.
Disney’s Beach Club Resort
You may know that we LOVE our cheese here at DFB. Whether that’s grilled cheese, plastic cheese, cheesecake…we’ll take what we can get! So of course, we’ve gotta tell you about an underrated — but super tasty — mac and cheese over at Disney’s Beach Club Resort.
Health measures have been the norm in Disney World over the past year.

From mask mandates to social distancing, to increased hygiene; there’s a LOT different from prior to the park closures. Now, though, we’re noticing that one of those health measures is mysteriously disappearing all over Disney World… .
Thinking of visit Disney World this summer?

Well, if you’re thinking of heading to the parks specifically in June, NOW is the time to book those Park Passes (if you haven’t already)! Previously, Park Passes for June had already started to fill up, but now things are looking different.
Disney World Cast Members have a way of making every single guest feel special when they enter the parks.
Welcome to Disney World!
But extra magic was waiting for one man who ran all the way from Disneyland to Disney World. Yes! HE RAN! And he’s the first person who’s ever done that.
