food IS a theme park
Hello from Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Holiday Gertie at Hollywood Studios
So what’s new since the last time we were here? Let’s check out the updates!
The Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction collections have been incredibly popular this year!
Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction Haunted Mansion Ears
Featuring fan-favorite Disney attractions like Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan’s Flight, and “it’s a small world,” some of these collections have sold out incredibly quickly! This month’s collection features the beloved and hilarious Disney classic, the Jungle Cruise. While the option became available a few days ago to sign up for MerchPass on shopDisney, we’ve now spotted the collection in Walt Disney World!
It’s been a busy week for the Walt Disney World Resorts, as many of them are getting decked out for the holidays!
Wilderness Lodge Christmas Tree
We’ve seen decorations pop up at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, to name just a few! Even though there aren’t any humongous gingerbread displays this year, Disney has still been very detailed and very over-the-top with their Christmas decor. (I mean, would ya look at the size of that Christmas tree?!) Now, yet another resort has received a festive makeover — Disney’s BoardWalk Inn!
If you’re a fan of Star Wars TV shows, then you know that Ahsoka Tano has some of the coolest lightsabers out there!

First of all, she wields TWO lightsabers instead of just one (known as Jar’Kai in the Star Wars universe), and it’s not a skill that we often see utilized. On top of that, her lightsaber color changes multiple times as a character, going from blue to green to white. Disney’s definitely capitalized on this, selling both color-changing Ahsoka lightsabers, and the white versions! You can even get her lightsabers outside of the Disney parks, and today there are a limited number of sabers autographed by Ahsoka Tano herself!
Rainforest Café is gearing up for Thanksgiving Day with a special meal for the occasion!

Before we dive into what’s on the menu, just a friendly reminder that there are TWO Rainforest Café locations in Disney World: one in the Disney Springs Marketplace, and the other just outside of the entrance to Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
And now that that’s covered, let’s talk TURKEY! [Read more…]
In the words of the great Mickey Mouse, “Oh, boy!”

Earlier this year we got a first look at the newest pair of Designer Mickey Ears by Bret Iwan (the VOICE of Mickey!). Production delays pushed these back from their summer release, but they’re finally here TODAYÂ and they didn’t come alone!
Good morning, DFB friends!
Decorations at Saratoga Springs
We’ve been hanging out at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa to see what’s new! And we don’t have a LOT of updates, but we did find some yummy treats!
Disney is fake, it’s too crowded, it’s a waste of money — we’ve heard it all, and honestly, there are some pretty grounded criticisms of the parks out there.
Christmas Cavalcades
Today, we’re taking a look at why people hate Disney World and how we, as Disney lovers, can respond.
Warm holiday wishes from the Magic Kingdom in Disney World!
