food IS a theme park

A Flurry of Fun will return to Disney’s Hollywood Studios this coming holiday season from November 8, 2018 – January 6, 2019.

But since last year, something new has come to Hollywood Studios… and that’s Toy Story Land, which opened this past June! The new section of the park will be joining in the festive fun.

We popped over to Magic Kingdom and Epcot today! And despite it being INSANELY crowded at the parks, we managed to find a fun update for you!
Welcome to Epcot!
For those of you who love the packaged park treats, it looks like some of our favorites from Goofy’s Candy Company got a makeover: they now have fun, new packaging!
Welcome back to El Mercado de Coronado!
Even if El Mercado de Coronado is a new name to you, you may still be familiar with the space if you’ve ever paid a visit to Coronado Springs Resort. You see, this Resort Counter Service location used to go by the name of Pepper Market.
While the general setup of the space has remained the same, there are some other aspects that have changed even beyond the name.
So join us on a tour of El Mercado de Coronado!
The unique structure of the space has remained the same, of course, with the large dining room still given a bit of the Resort’s Spanish-Colonial Mexican architecture with arches and large beams, and a high ceiling allowing plenty of light from the windows to flow through. [Read more…]

These hidden costs (and, in some cases, increases) are what we’re chatting about today in our latest DFB YouTube video to help you plan! [Read more…]

It was another busy week in the Magic Kingdom! We found must-have merch, price increases, snack updates, construction and more!
Hello from the Magic Kingdom!
We’ll start off with some construction updates. We are getting so excited for the Tron ride! In addition to this “billboard” promoting the ride that you see while you’re on the train we could spot cranes and equipment — signs they are working away to have the ride ready for 2021.
We just finished sending you on a snack scavenger hunt, now we should send you on a mug scavenger hunt! You won’t believe all the mugs we found this week in the Magic Kingdom. We’ll start off with our favorite (we are a Food Blog after all).
Disney Best Day Ever Snacks Mug
We never really know if we’re in the parks for the food or the rides...this sums up our Magic Kingdom experience perfectly. Plus look at the back! [Read more…]
