food IS a theme park
Lunar New Year is celebrated by cultures in eastern Asia, like China, Vietnam, and Korea, and Disney California Adventure has been joining in on ringing in the Year of Tiger.
Mickey and Minnie
Disney California Adventure has been celebrating Lunar New Year since January 21st and those celebrations are winding down and will conclude on February 13th, but not without a few last-minute surprises.
It’s Friday folks, which means things are winding down from a busy week, and we’re looking forward to a relaxing weekend. But some rides in Disney World actually decided to clock out a little bit early!
Splash Mountain
Magic Kingdom’s Splash Mountain was supposed to reopen today, but its return has been delayed. And it turns out, this isn’t the only major ride that’s closed right now! [Read more…]

It’s no secret that we like to talk about Disney food…A LOT.
Let’s talk about Disney food!
We’re constantly sharing the latest snacks and reviewing restaurants, but we get particularly pumped here at DFB when it’s time to go to one of Disney’s big food festivals. EPCOT is home to four throughout the year, but Disney California Adventure also has a spectacular lineup — one of which is starting very soon. And today, we learned about some new food items that sound so tempting that you’ll be booking a plane ticket out to Cali in no time!
There are some Disney World souvenirs that you can count on to be in the parks, but are they worth buying?
Allll the spray fans
We’re not talking about T-shirts or MagicBands, here. We mean the items you can find around the parks that you might not use ever again, like bubble wands, seasonal light-up necklaces, spray fans, and balloons. But, on the other hand, these things can still be a fun addition to your park day that adds a little magic for your kids! And, if you are a balloon person, there’s a new one you gotta check out!
Have you ever dreamed of your own personal, professional photoshoot in Disney World?

Capture Your Moment is a special service that lets guests schedule private photoshoot sessions in the parks, whether you want to celebrate a special occasion or remember your trip forever. This service is already available at Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and now two more Disney Parks are joining in on the fun!
For the 50th Anniversary, Disney World has amped up pretty much EVERYTHING.
The 50th Anniversary has been a big deal!
What do we mean? Well, we’ve got EARidescent glitter-covered snacks, shiny 50th Anniversary banners decking out all the parks, countless new merchandise collections, and it seems like that logo is slapped on everything we see! And this week, we found another 50th Anniversary-themed souvenir that you’ve probably never noticed.
Disney World has added a lot of things to the parks for its 50th anniversary, but one of our favorite new additions are the 50 gold character statues!
Best buds
These are across all 4 parks and include characters like Mickey and Minnie, Edna Mode, Winnie the Pooh, and more. Disney has also released some fun merch that look like these statues! We’ve seen ornaments, mini mystery packs, and even small replicas of a few characters. And now, there’s a NEW character statue replica that’s available online!
Hawaii seems like the dream, doesn’t it? How many of us have fantasized about visiting Disney’s Aulani Resort there?

Of course, we’re really dreaming about having a Dole Whip in Hawaii, or maybe a Mickey Shave Ice, or maybe meeting Moana in her home country, or one of the hundreds of other things you can do at the resort. Well, you’ll soon be able to go to Aulani without ever leaving your house because two upcoming episodes of ABC’s American Idol are going to take you there!Â
What’s better than buying new Disney merchandise? WINNING new Disney merchandise, duh!

Disney sometimes has contests where you can win items like Star Wars pieces, princess castles, or even a wedding dress! And now, D23 (Disney’s official fan club) is having a new sweepstakes for Valentine’s Day!
