food IS a theme park
Valentine’s Day will be here in TWO WEEKS — do you have your special someone yet?! Even if you don’t, that’s totally okay! You can be your 💖own valentine💖 and treat yourself to some delicious sweets.
OMG yum?!
And, where can you get those sweets, might you ask? At Disney World, duh! Of course Disney is doing the most for Valentine’s Day, and that includes bringing us some decadent treats. So, let’s take a look at ALL of the food coming to Disney World for Valentine’s Day!
Before you head to Disney World, there’s one big thing you should do that a lot of people forget about — checking the list of refurbishments!
It’s very quiet over here right now!
Throughout the year, various Disney attractions will close briefly to get routine maintenance. Sometimes those refurbishments are short, only lasting a week or so, while other times they may stretch on for months or even years (we’re looking at you, Walt Disney World Railroad!). Right now, Expedition Everest is in the middle of a three-month refurb, and we noticed some changes at the ride today!
Here at DFB, we’re constantly scouring the shelves of Disney World gift shops to find the merchandise items that we think you’ll love and need to know about.
So much new merchandise has come out in the past few months!
In the past few months, we’ve found a bunch of new merch, with everything from holiday-specific products to 50th Anniversary collections. And today, we found a brand-new toy…one that even adults may want!
Disney’s The Princess and the Frog has been getting a lot of love lately! With an upcoming Disney+ series about Tiana, a fancy new Disney dress, and a Princess and the Frog retheme of Splash Mountain coming soon, this movie has been getting a bit more time in the spotlight recently.

Now there’s a NEW way to celebrate your love for Tiana and her story. Fair warning: It’s not cheap.
To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.
One of the most popular ways to travel to Orlando to enjoy Disney World (and other big attractions and theme parks) is by flying into the Orlando International Airport.
Orlando International Airport
Because of all the tourist attractions in the city, MCO is a pretty busy airport, with travelers coming in and out all day long. Since the pandemic, they’ve added several new safety measures to protect and aid those guests, and now there’s a new addition to that list.

Okay, okay, we’re kidding! There is obviously more important stuff like the lightsabers and the family drama, but we can’t ignore the absolute looks some of the characters pull off. Padmé Amidala is a fashion icon, people! We would be lying if we said we didn’t dream of wearing some of these outfits, but it’s not like you can just find similar gowns at Target or even online. And, if you’re planning a trip on the Galactic Starcruiser (which opens on March 1st, 2022), we’re sure you want some outfits that will really immerse you in the experience. Luckily, a bunch of official Star Wars clothing just dropped online!
Seriously?? NO one has told you about where to find secret princess makeovers, schedule a private photo session, or drink your own selfie at Disney World?

Let’s fix that ASAP.
Have you heard about our obsession with Gideon’s Bakehouse?
Gideon’s Bakehouse
In case you’ve missed the last year of us freaking out over their huge and delicious cookies, decadent cakes, and amazing cold brew, Gideon’s is a bakery in Disney Springs that has become hugely popular since it opened this location in January 2021. Each month, they have new seasonal flavors of all their treats, and it’s no surprise that the lineup for February looks incredibly tempting! [Read more…]
Feeling hungry? Well, get ready to drool. We’ve seen many things return to Disney World in recent months, like certain restaurants, nightlife, and even spas reopening.
Flying Fish has reopened at Disney’s BoardWalk!
And, the returns won’t be slowing down any time soon — the parade and stage show are coming back to Magic Kingdom, Fantasmic! will be reopening in Hollywood Studios, and popular restaurants like Jiko at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge are scheduled to reopen soon. At Disney’s Yacht Club, we just saw the breakfast buffet return to Ale & Compass Restaurant, but that’s not all — LUNCH is also back at Ale & Compass and we went over to check it out so we could give you a full review. So, come along with us to see if this returned lunch service is worth leaving the Disney parks!
Now that we’re about a month into 2022, it’s finally starting to sink in that Disney’s Magical Express service is really gone. In its place, there are several transportation options that will take guests to and from the airport (for a price!). But as more time passes, we’ve started seeing more new transportation options appear around Orlando, including a new bus shuttle service that will compete with Mears Connect called The Sunshine Flyer!
Gone but not forgotten🥲
Think of The Sunshine Flyer like the old Magical Express buses, but with a little bit of a 🚂railroad🚂 flair! After a few weeks of anticipation, The Sunshine Flyer is up and running.
