food IS a theme park
If we know one thing about Disney, it’s that the holiday season can NEVER come too early.
Holiday joy!
At the Disney parks, holiday decorations pop up right after Halloween ends (sometimes before), and holiday festivals aren’t far behind! We’ve even seen mid-summer holiday merchandise reveals. But are we REALLY ready to get in the holiday spirit right now?
Is there anything better than a Mickey pretzel? Especially with a side of plastic cheese? This salty snack is hard to beat, which is probably why Disney has been releasing so many new items inspired by this fan-favorite!
Mickey Pretzel
We’ve seen Mickey pretzel ears, and we’ve seen a Mickey pretzel spirit jersey, and now, we’ve seen a Mickey pretzel Loungefly backpack.
Peanut butter and jelly. Macaroni and cheese. Mickey and Minnie. Some things just make sense together.

And now we think we may have found another iconic pairing in Disney World — cold brew coffee and ice cream. We were taking a stroll through Disney’s Animal Kingdom when we spotted two NEW coffee drinks at Dino-Bite Snacks, and we just so happen to think that one of them is almost as iconic as milk and cookies — let’s check ’em out!
EPCOT is undergoing some massive changes right now, and a whole bunch of new things are on the way!
Connections Cafe
A new Moana-themed attraction and the new Guardians of the Galaxy coaster are just some of the many new things that will soon be added to EPCOT. Another new thing fans will soon be able to experience in this park has to do with something so integral to our very being that it’s in our name…FOOD (we are Disney Food Blog after all!). Connections Cafe & Eatery will bring a new Starbucks location and more treats to this iconic park, and though we’ve already gotten a look at the space’s design and more, today we got some HUGE news.

There are so many fun things to do in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Tree of Life at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
From seeing exotic animals on a safari vehicle to taking a ride on a Banshee in Pandora to enjoying all the fun details in Dinoland, U.S.A. to viewing a Broadway-quality show based on The Lion King, you’ll never run out of things to do here. We’ve been to Animal Kingdom recently to check out everything NEW that’s happening, so let’s get on with some updates!
When it comes time to buy a gift for a friend or family member, it can be hard to know what to get. Would they rather have a new pair of Minnie ears, or a spirit jersey? It can be hard to decide! That’s why you can never go wrong with a gift card.
Mickey Gift Card
Disney gift cards can be used on Disney merchandise, towards the cost of your ticket, and even to pay for food in the parks! Disney gift cards can be purchased both in the parks and online, and Disney just released a bunch of new designs on shopDisney!
Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Bill (what critics have deemed the “Don’t Say Gay” Bill) has been extensively covered by the news over the past several weeks. It’s likely something you’ve heard discussed on your local news station, or seen discussed online and a variety of news sites.
Welcome to Disney World
Here at DFB we’ve been sharing updates with you regarding this Bill (now law) as it relates to Disney, specifically with respect to Disney’s responses to the Bill, criticisms of Disney’s responses, and what former Disney executives, current Disney employees, and more have had to say on the topic. Most recently, Disney spoke out against the passage of the Bill and Florida’s Governor issued a response. We’ve already seen how Disney’s actions have impacted employees, Governors, and more, but now Disney’s actions and responses in relation to this Bill could have other big consequences.
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary was a BIG deal — 50 is a pretty big milestone, after all! The big birthday brought lots of special treats, a new attraction, and TONS of new merchandise to the parks. But this isn’t any old anniversary; the 50th Anniversary celebration runs for 18 MONTHS! So far, we’ve continued to see new 50th Anniversary merch and snacks pop up around the parks and resorts even in 2022, and Disney doesn’t show any signs of stopping.
