food IS a theme park
Hello, DFB Readers! We’re enjoying some rather chilly weather at Disney World.
Disney’s Pop Century Resort
But here we are, still out in it, checking out everything all over the resort to see what’s new and stay up to date on everything. And now it’s time to see what’s going on at Disney World hotels, so let’s get on with the updates!
It’s been a very busy week in Disney World!

We got TONS of announcements and news about upcoming shows, cavalcades, parades, and more! Now let’s get into all the unexpected Disney World news from the week!
Love is in the air at Disneyland!
Valentine’s Day Linzer Cookie
Valentine’s Day is only a few weeks away, and just like it does with every other holiday, Disneyland knows how to celebrate! There’s a ton of stuff coming to Disneyland to celebrate love, like these glittery Minnie ears, and we’re so excited to announce that they’re finally here!
There are some BIG changes coming to the Disney Parks this year!
Cinderella Castle at the Magic Kingdom
We’ve been bringing you updates about things like the Star Wars hotel and the Splash Mountain Transformation, and we even shared a recent update on a new Toy Story restaurant! Today we’re back with a look at all the areas of Disney World that are currently under construction — let’s check it out!
In Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the Harambe Market is one of the more underrated spots in the park, featuring a wide range of delicious options! Since its reopening in late 2020, we’ve been wowed by the delicious ribs and chicken, salads, and cocktails we found at this spot (keep an eye for that shave ice cart, it pops up every now and then!).

Recently, we stopped by Harambe Market to try out one of their vegetarian options!
Disney’s Magical Express was recently discontinued at the start of 2022…but we just spotted a trace of this piece of Disney history in the parks!
We’ll miss you, Magical Express
Disney’s Magical Express was the complimentary ground transportation service that took Disney World hotel guests to and from Orlando International Airport. The company that provided the service, Mears, now offers a similar paid option for guests, in addition to several other ground transportation services that are available for a fee. But there is still a trace of Disney’s Magical Express left in the parks (for now, at least!) that allows fans the chance to take home a reminder of this piece of Disney history!
Planning to visit Disney World in March of 2022? That month will mark the start of the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, the opening of the Star Wars Hotel (Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser), and the return of the Festival of Fantasy Parade.

Well if you’re heading to Disney World in March, you’ll need to set up those hotel arrangements, buy your tickets, make Park Passes, and make dining reservations too. You’ll also need to figure out just how to get to Disney World. If you’re thinking of flying to Disney World in March and wondering how much that would cost, we’ve got you covered! Today we’re breaking down what you need to know.
The cold may not bother Queen Elsa, but it DEFINITELY bothers us! Hey Elsa, can you take these freezing cold temperatures back to Arendelle and out of Florida, please? We miss the sunny, tropical Florida we know and love!
We’re FROZEN!
Admittedly, it is winter time, so we always expect the temperatures to cool down in January and February, but now it seems Florida is setting records with this cold weather, and we just can’t let it go!
Back in October 2021, Disney World kicked off its 18-month long 50th Anniversary celebration!
Cinderella Castle at the Magic Kingdom
In honor of the celebration, we’ve seen a TON of new things pop up around the parks and resorts. That includes new merchandise, entertainment, decor, and, of course, ALLLLL of the snacks! Some of the specialty snacks aren’t scheduled to be around for the entire 18-month celebration. In fact, we’ve already seen a bunch of anniversary treats disappear AND a group of new ones make their debut.
We’re already looking forward to Halloween!
You’re jokin’, you’re jokin’, I can’t believe my eyes!
There’s so much to love about Halloween, especially if you’re a Disney fan. There’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, all of the spooky snacks, and of course, our favorite villains always come out to play. We just found another reason to be extra excited for Halloween this year, and it has something to do with three iconic witch sisters.
