food IS a theme park
Here at DFB, we’ve shared hundreds of recipes inspired by Disney parks and movies!

In the past, we’ve shared recipes for pasta, salads, sweet desserts, and everything in between. And today, we’ve got a new recipe for you inspired by Pixar’s Soul!
Have you heard a little something about a legendary, seasonal Disney World treat made of pure gingerbread and caramel goodness?
Is this the perfect cookie?
The Gingerbread Salted Caramel Buttercream Cookie Sandwich is a limited-time treat typically available in EPCOT for the holiday season, but this year we noticed the cookie stuck around for a while after December. Initially, we were told that it would be gone from Disney World after February, but we have some BIG news about this popular treat!
Sometimes we get carried away with the flashy, weird treats in Disney World. When we see an “it’s a small world” cupcake piled high with icing, our curiosity practically FORCES us to try it! We hear about frozen guacamole and can’t HELP but give it a try — it’s human nature! But the truth is, those plain, basic Disney treats can be just as good as those wacky Disney snacks. Phew, it feels good to get that off our chest.
We see a Donald-inspired cake and can’t resist
When we heard that a popular little food and beverage location in Disney World was celebrating a big anniversary, we had a feeling that we’d see a special treat to go along with the celebration. Let’s take a look!
Good morning. We are NOT okay.

WHY, you may ask? Well, shopDisney has done it again. We’ve seen some pretty irresistible stuff on shopDisney in the past. We’re talking HUNDREDS of pairs of Minnie ears, countless fun backpacks, and more Disney clothing than we’ll ever need. But today, we’re going to have to hide our wallets yet again, because there’s an absolutely precious Winnie the Pooh home collection online! (And you NEED to see it.)
Disappearing rainbow corridors, a seemingly-limitless number of hidden Mickeys, and…Kurt Russel?

Disney World is full of mysteries.
 Not all of the Minnie ears in Disney World blow us away. Sometimes we’re a little underwhelmed or confused by the new designs, and some designs become downright controversial among Disney fans.
Lots of Minnie Ears
Even the most iconic accessories can’t get it right 100% of the time! We’ve recently spotted a controversial set of Minnie ears in the parks — some people think these look a little bit cheap, and others love their vibe. Whichever side you’re on, you can now get to these ears without even going into the Disney parks!
We clearly love Disney World restaurants! Maybe especially the ones at Magic Kingdom, where the nostalgia factor hits HARD. But let’s be real: some restaurants are just better than others. And if there’s one place that makes this fact abundantly clear, it’s Yelp.
Will the Curried Vegetable Crew Stew make the list?
While certain Magic Kingdom restaurants don’t get a lot of love (to put it kindly), others are hallowed ground in Disney World, and Yelpers love to sing their praises for their faves!Â
This is NOT going to come as a shock to you, but sometimes it’s easy to forget — the Disney parks didn’t just pop into being. No, there were and are a lot of incredibly talented people involved in their concept, creation, and continued existence.
Tree of Life
The biggest Disney fans — and especially those who love to learn about the history and interworkings of the theme parks — know a few key people who have made a HUGE impact on the parks. Mary Blair, the Sherman brothers, and Alice Davis are just a few of these instrumental creators. But now Disney is honoring another person who contributed immensely to many Disney projects and whose influence reaches far beyond the Disney company. [Read more…]
Disney has been making nuiMOs plushes for a TON of different characters lately, and they’re not stopping any time soon!
nuiMOs
We’ve seen Kermit and Miss Piggy, Disney Princesses, The Nightmare Before Christmas characters, and more be turned into nuiMOs. And, guess what? NEW nuiMOs are now available online with characters from a popular Disney movie!
Okay, so we get it, we understand just how easy it is to spend a LOT of money on Disney World souvenirs.
Vault Collection merchandise
And let’s face it, some of the most popular souvenirs aren’t cheap — a single spirit jersey can run nearly $80! And even if we’re just buying mugs and t-shirts, it adds up fast. But you could buy better souvenirs FROM HOME and save a lot of money!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
