food IS a theme park
Good news for breakfast fans!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Many Disney dining locations have remained closed since the parks reopened last year, but they’re slowly reopening, too. They’re also beefing their menus back up! And after some spots for quick eats opened up in Disney’s Animal Kingdom last week, we’re seeing a dining experience return to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Disney’s newest movie, Raya and the Last Dragon, is releasing March 5th!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park
To get us excited for the film, Disney’s brought themed snacks, merchandise, and more to the parks. At Disney’s Animal Kingdom in particular, it seems like this movie is EVERYWHERE. We even tried a treat with a character’s face on it! But there’s still more new experiences to discover.
EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts serves up some pretty gorgeous dishes.
EPCOT International Festival of the Arts
So gorgeous, that we give each one a special photoshoot before we dive into the almost-to-pretty-to-eat foods and drinks. And, over at The Painted Panda booth, the Sea Butterfly has become a regular visitor to the festival. We get it — it’s STUNNING! But, what if we could make it even MORE pretty?
We try a lot of things when we attempt to hack a Disney snack and for this one, we’re calling on science.Â
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at EPCOT!

And, we’ve got plenty of updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
Are you as pumped about Disney’s upcoming movie, Raya and the Last Dragon, as we are?!

The brand-new animated film releases in theaters on March 5th and Disney+ subscribers can watch it with Premier Access on the same day. In honor of the special occasion, we’ve spotted a lot of new themed celebrations in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, including snacks, a sand sculpture, and new options at the Animation Experience! Let’s try out one of those fun new treats!
Welcome back to Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle
We checked up on the construction, merchandise, and wait times in Disney World’s flagship park. Let’s see what we found!
Psst…hey, you. We’ve got a secret for you.
Dino-Bite Snacks
There is a TOP SECRET new treat in Disney World. We’re talking IYKYK and if you don’t know, well tough luck. The good news is we’re here to get you IN the know! The bad news? Only some folks can snag this tasty sweet.
Construction has been happening left and right in Disney World with scrims up at Peter Pan’s Flight and waterways being drained (and then refilled less than 24 hours later).

And, now another popular Magic Kingdom attraction has closed to conduct routine maintenance and refurbishment through the beginning of March!
Many of us are missing Baby Yoda making a weekly appearance on our screen, and now a new Disney baby is making its way to the big screen.

Raya and the Last Dragon will debut in theaters and on Disney+ Premiere Access soon (on March 5th, 2021) and Disney is making all the preparations! Unlike the Baby Yoda merchandise debacle, Raya’s adorable side-kick Tuk Tuk is already taking over Disney World. And, we’re pretty okay with a Baby Tuk Tuk invasion.
Animal Kingdom is a pretty great place to take in the sights, spot some animals, and try some eats.
Tree of Life
But it’s also a great place to look for some Disney MERCH! We’re suckers for a Disney mug. Trust us, you do NOT want to go in the mug cabinet in my kitchen; it’s an overflowing nightmare. But, our habits certainly don’t die easy, so we’re tempted again with a SUPER fun mug that just arrived in Disney World!
