Mickey Mouse!
November 18th will officially mark the Main Mouse’s day, but the celebration will start a little early as treats begin to arrive in the Disney Parks around the globe. Because, after all, what’s a birthday party without a little something sweet? [Read more…]

Find out in our DFB YouTube Video! [Read more…]

Back in July, we told you about Animal Kingdom’s newest place to chill out: Restaurantosaurus Lounge. At the time, it was described as undergoing a three month trial period and had limited hours from 5PM to closing. But we loved the concept, particularly as indoor air conditioned places to rest our adventuring feet are always welcome in Walt Disney World’s largest park.

That said, as much as we love the concept, sticking a “lounge” in a corner of a counter service restaurant does not make for a relaxing retreat. We’ll give you our full thoughts at the end of this article, but first — some details… .
Can’t get enough Mickey-shaped treats this Halloween season?

Anyone else feel like they missed an opportunity to call this Mickey Mousse? No, just us? 🙂
Here’s hoping you’re having a great weekend so far! We’re kicking it off with another DFB Video: a full restaurant review of Epcot’s Spice Road Table!
Welcome to Spice Road Table!
This table service restaurant is located in Epcot’s beautiful Morocco Pavilion. And in addition to a lovely setting, it offers indoor and outdoor waterfront dining, fireworks views, and some pretty great cuisine. Find out why we think Spice Road Table is something of a hidden gem in our latest DFB YouTube video! [Read more…]
Oh, boy! We’re going to have some fun today with a Chocolate Sculpture Tour at the 2018 Epcot Food and Wine Festival! You’ll find this lovely annual display at The Chocolate Experience: From Bean to the Bar which is located in the Festival Center.
The Chocolate Experience: From Bean to the Bar
Perhaps you aren’t able to make it to the Food and Wine Festival this year. Or, even if you are, your time might be (understandably) consumed with consuming your Must-Try items at the Festival’s Food Booths. No matter the case, if you aren’t able to see these sculptures at the Festival, we always enjoy having the chance to bring them to you!
Each made-from-chocolate sculpture is created by a pair or team of chefs from a Disney World Resort or Park.
The Epcot Production Bakery created this beautiful and colorful Coco chocolate sculpture. [Read more…]

We just shared some new Cinderella merchandise we spotted at Epcot this week, and now we’ve found another new line of home items in Animal Kingdom featuring Cinderella! This line is a little more formal than other lines we’ve seen featuring the princesses lately.
Cinderella Plate
Just like the line at Epcot, these are some more mature renderings of the popular princess. We’re even getting a tiny bit of a toile pattern feel looking at this set.
