food IS a theme park
We’ve been hanging around Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort a lot lately.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Between refurbishment going on at the monorail station, in the resort, and at the pool area, there’s been plenty to watch! And when we stopped by Barefoot Pool Bar to check out the new costumes, a Cast Member was kind enough to whip us up an off-the-menu drink.
ALOHA, and welcome back to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! We were just here recently checking out some of the new cast member costumes that made their Moana-inspired debut at Capt. Cook’s and Pineapple Lanai.
Capt. Cooks
(This is a trend, by the way — you can click here to see LOTS of new cast member costumes that have been popping up pretty much EVERYWHERE!) And today when we stopped by for a relaxing drink at the Barefoot Pool Bar, we noticed another new costume for cast members at the Resort. [Read more…]
There are LOTS of places you could stay at during your Walt Disney World vacation.
Swan Reserve
Do you choose a Disney hotel? A non-Disney hotel that is on property? A Disney Springs hotel? Or something else? Yesterday, we shared the news about a new hotel that’s opening up in the nearby Flamingo Crossings Town Center. But, today we’ve got an update about a new hotel that will soon be opening just a quick walk away from EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios — The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve!
Splash Mountain has been a pretty big deal recently!
Splash Mountain
Disney announced last year that Splash Mountain will be undergoing a BIG update, retheming it to be based on The Princess and the Frog. We know that this refurb has been fast-tracked, but we’re not sure WHEN it will kick-off! Well, we spotted what MIGHT be a hint today!
Why, hello there!! We’re flying into Disney’s Animal Kingdom to bring YOU what’s NEW!
Winged Encounters at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
A double-doozy of a holiday weekend in Disney World — with Valentine’s Day on Sunday and Presidents’ Day on Monday — sure brought the peeps to the parks! And we spotted a few extra snacking spots open to feed the crowds, along with some FUN new merchandise! [Read more…]
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Hollywood Studios!
Hollywood Studios
And, we’ve got some updates on must-have Disney merchandise and a new relaxation station to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s jump right on in!
When you’re at Disney World, you’re already (hopefully!) having a pretty good time. So, it doesn’t take much more to take your trip from ordinary to extraordinary!
Cinderella Castle
You may think you need to spring for a deluxe hotel room, eat at the most popular (and pricey!) restaurants, or go all out on princess dresses and limited edition merch to make your trip extra magical, but there are TONS of ways to UPGRADE your trip for less than $5!
A MAJOR Disney transportation option is currently unavailable.
Grand Floridian Monorail Station
While at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Monorail Station today to head on over to Magic Kingdom, we were evacuated from the platform as BOTH monorail lines went down. Here’s what we know.
Already planning your 2022 vacation to Walt Disney World?

We found a princess-inspired snack in Disney World today!
Grand Floridian
Disney resorts often have incredible — and overlooked — eats. We’ve recently loved a seasonal cocktail from Disney’s Riviera Resort, some chips at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and Super Bowl cupcakes at BoardWalk Bakery. And today, we spotted some pastry puffs at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort that we just have to tell you about!
