food IS a theme park
One major Disney project that we’ve got our eye on is the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Concept Art
We keep our eye out for Disney permits to make sure that we don’t miss any exciting developments on projects like Galactic Starcruiser. We know that work continues to be underway thanks to recent patents and overhead photos, but now it looks like some set elements and theming are being incorporated at the site!
Adventure is out there! Those words are often true when new Disney merchandise drops, because it can definitely feel like quite the ADVENTURE to score the latest and greatest collectables. And when it comes to Disney Dooney & Bourke bags, we’ve seen items practically FLY off of the shelves!
Haunted Mansion Dooney & Bourke
In just the last couple of weeks, we have shopped “with ghoulish delight” for the new Haunted Mansion Dooney & Bourke collection, as well as the insanely popular Disney Dogs collection! Not to mention the new, limited edition Dooney & Bourke MagicBand that found its way to the 2020 Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival. You would think that we would be all Dooney & Bourke’d out, but there’s ALWAYS room for at least one more Disney Dooney in our opinion!
Although we’ve been able to wave at Anna and Elsa during the Character Cavalcades going on in EPCOT, we haven’t been able to sing along to our favorite Frozen tunes at For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration in Disney’s Hollywood Studios for a LONG time!
Anna in the Frozen Promenade
This show did not reopen with the park back in July, but we recently shared that the Frozen show would be reopening today, October 5th, so you know we had to make our way to Hollywood Studios and see what’s changed.
It’s Monday, Monday, Monday and that means it’s time for a DFB Video!
Main Street, U.S.A., Magic Kingdom
Disney World has been getting more and more crowded since the parks reopened and now, things are feeling more normal than ever. Wait times are up, Disney Park Passes are selling out, and physical distancing isn’t as easy as it once was.
It looks like lots of guests were ready to do some shopping in Magic Kingdom today!
The Emporium
From spotting some new Christmas ornaments to walking through the reopened graveyard in the Haunted Mansion queue, we had a busy day at Magic Kingdom! And it looks like things were hustling and bustling on Main Street, U.S.A., too.
Every day is Christmas here at DFB, at least in our hearts. Yes, we’re still enjoying Halloween at Disney World (ALL THE SPOOKY SNACKS!), but we are SO gearing up for Christmas, too!
Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe
That’s why we always love browsing inside Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe at Magic Kingdom, where it’s Christmas EVERY SINGLE DAY. And we just found some super mouse-tacular ornaments there!
Disney cast members are a huge part of any Disney vacation, and they’re very much in the news at the moment. It was recently announced that 28,000 Disney employees were scheduled to be laid off and many cast members remain furloughed.
Disney World Cast Member
Today, Disney World employees are spotlighted again as a plan goes into effect to implement pay raises for Housekeeping and Food and Beverage unionized Cast Members.
We love browsing through the stores in Disney Springs. From Basin’s AMAZING bath bombs to Uniqlo’s Disney-inspired clothing to the unique pop-up cards at Lovepop, Disney Springs is such a fun place to shop!
Disney Springs
One of the unique stores guests can visit in Disney Springs is UNOde50, which sells limited-edition jewelry, all handcrafted in Spain. And soon, UNOde50 will offer a limited-time discount to all UNOWORLD members!
We have a ton of respect for those who work in healthcare. So when we spotted a discount available for healthcare workers, we wanted to pass along the info!
Disney Springs
If you’re in the market for some new floral print clothes and accessories, you’re in luck. Because the Lilly Pulitzer store, located in the Town Center section of Disney Springs, is offering a discount for healthcare workers all month long!
The forecast at Magic Kingdom called for overcast skies with a 100% chance of happy haunts!Â
The Haunted Mansion
Between the spooky snacks, festive merchandise, and seasonal character cavalcades, we’ve definitely been in the Halloween mood lately. And on our most recent trip to the Magic Kingdom, we got an extra “treat” at one of the most iconic attractions! [Read more…]
