food IS a theme park
We’ve already found a few patriotic treats around Disney World!
Fourth of July Cupcake
We’ve been on a cupcake kick! We tried the Fourth of July cupcakes at both Capt. Cook’s and Sprinkles in Disney Springs. So now, let’s switch it up and try the Blondie Pops we spotted on the menu at Gasparilla Island Grill in Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort!
The parks might not be open yet, but Disney World has still found a way to celebrate the holiday!

In fact, there are several ways to celebrate the Fourth of July, Disney-style! You can catch a virtual viewing of the Magic Kingdom fireworks show, find great deals at Disney Springs, and enjoy some patriotic treats! Speaking of star-spangled snacks, we spotted a gorgeous Fourth of July cupcake at Capt. Cook’s in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort that we just had to try!
Looking for a way to enjoy some fireworks from the comfort of your own home??
Magic Kingdom Fireworks
Well then, Disney has you covered! We’ve had the chance to enjoy a virtual viewing of the Happily Ever After fireworks, and in honor of the holiday, Disney has also shared a video of the Fourth of July fireworks show at Magic Kingdom!
Now that we’ve experienced our first trip back to several Walt Disney World hotels as Disney World continues its phased reopening, we’ve picked up a few handy tips for you!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
We would never have thought of many of these helpful tidbits before we arrived, so if you’re heading to a Disney World hotel soon, we really want you to know what we DIDN’T know going into our resort stay!
Although Disney World will be reopening next week, we’ve been able to visit all the restaurants in Disney Springs.
Terralina Crafted Italian
While we’ve been satisfying our sweet tooth with the new Fourth of July Cupcakes at Sprinkles and Gasparilla Island Grill, we’re ready for something a little more savory for this holiday weekend!
From the halted Boarding Passes to the canceled Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Disney World won’t be the same place we’ve grown up with when the parks reopen.
Magic Kingdom
However, Disney still has many of the same experiences, attractions, and food that our hearts are oh so fond of (and that we’ll be able to experience again soon).
The NBA will soon be heading to Disney World to finish their 2019-2020 season. The players will also be staying on property, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort is one of the hotels expected to be used for housing.
Grand Floridian Fence
A few days ago, a mysterious fence started going up across Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. And, while Disney hasn’t released information about the purpose of this project, the timing is definitely interesting!
Why it seems like only yesterday we told you guys we’d expanded our Disney Food Blog apparel line
and added the ability to get many of our most-popular graphic tee designs printed on face masks now!
DFB Dole Whip Face Mask
But hold the phone — that’s because it HAS only been ONE day since we officially launched our new DFB face mask collection! And believe it or not, we’ve already added a TON of new styles!
The Disney World parks are preparing to welcome back guests, with Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom set to reopen on July 11th, followed by Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Epcot on July 15th.
Magic Kingdom
As the restaurants around Disney World reopen, many of them have undergone menu changes, which has resulted in limited offerings at some locations. And we’re sad to see that one of our favorite snacks in Magic Kingdom has disappeared from the menu!
Oh hey there, moms and dads! Remember a few days ago when we told we’d spotted some new stroller organizers online?
It’s Stroller Time!
Well, guess what? One of the new designs has just arrived in Disney Springs!
