food IS a theme park
It’s officially springtime in Disney World and that means Spring Break crowds!
EPCOT Monorail
Not only that, but we’re still in the midst of the 2022 Flower & Garden Festival, which tends to draw crowds due to the mouth-watering food options and the absolutely gorgeous floral topiary displays. We braved the crowds and took a stroll throughout EPCOT recently to check out everything new there was to see and do — let’s check it out!
Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” Bill has flooded headlines recently, particularly as it relates to Disney’s response to the situation.
New Pride Pins
Disney issued an initial response, which was then followed by a memo from Disney CEO Bob Chapek. That was then followed by statements from Chapek during the shareholder meeting, an apology from Chapek, and further comments. We previously shared that some Disney employees had been planning walkouts for today, March 22nd, and we shared an updated look at those walkouts this morning. Now, we’ve got photos, videos, and more information of what took place.
This year’s Flower and Garden Festival bracket forced our readers to make some tough choices. We asked our readers on Instagram to VOTE on their favorite festival eats. The bracket started with 64 of the most popular food and drink items from this year’s festival and, over the past several days have been whittling them down until only one remained.

And now, without further ado, let’s get on with the winner of this year’s competition.
We’re here to tell you that you’ve been doing character dining WRONG in Disney World.
MICKEY!
Chef Mickey’s is a classic, and Tusker House has some super unique (and tasty) dishes. Crystal Palace can be cute with all the Winnie the Pooh characters, and Storybook Dining at Artist Point has a villain AND a forest. But we personally feel like none of those places can top the restaurant we’re visiting today. Have we got your attention? [Read more…]
So, here at DFB, we love food and we love restaurants. We also love Disney plush. And what happens when you combine the two? These new Chef Mickey’s plushes dare to answer that question.

These plushes come just a couple of weeks after the release of an equally adorable Chef Mickey’s ears hat, so Chef Mickey’s really is getting all the love lately.
How the HECK is March already halfway over?! With so many new announcements in Disney World, time really flies! One minute we’re welcoming the Flower & Garden Festival to EPCOT, and the next we’re checking out the new Space 220 menu.

There are some rides in Disney World that shut down more than others (cough cough, Rise of the Resistance).

Whether it’s for technical difficulties, bad weather, or an unknown issue, sometimes rides are closed in Disney World and there’s nothing you can do about it but wait. And, a ride that is no stranger to being shut down is once again closed today in Magic Kingdom.
It takes a lot of work and planning to create all the magic that guests see when they walk into Magic Kingdom in Disney World. With so many moving parts and intricate plans involved in the shows, attractions, and other features, it’s inevitable that there will be a few bumps along the way.
Main Street, U.S.A.
Some of those bumps could be unexpected ride closures, extreme weather, a shortage of merchandise, or any other number of problems. Today, we spotted one such unexpected problem on Main Street, U.S.A., in the form of a trolley derailment! [Read more…]
