food IS a theme park
Happy New Year! What were your resolutions this year?

Although ours is to keep eating ALL THE SNACKS at Disney World (especially with the EPCOT Festival of the Arts coming up soon), if your goals are a little healthier, you might want to visit Disney Springs this month.Â
As if there isn’t enough to look forward to already in Disney World, Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs loves to treat us with special new treats each month, too! This popular little bakery makes up for its small size with some BIG lines — and for good reason! Here at DFB, we LOVE their specialty cookies; there’s rarely a flavor we don’t like!
Happy New Year’s, Gideon’s!
To ring in the new year, a mysterious new character (who might look a little familiar) is here, along with some exciting new flavors!
It’s January in Disney World! The holiday season is wrapping up, the crowds are hopefully thinning out, and we might even see some of that rare “winter” weather.
January 2021
If you’re planning to be in Disney World this month, you might think that January is a relatively quiet time in the parks. And, while that does have some truth to it, that doesn’t mean there’s nothing going on! So, we’re here to tell you about the best things to do in Disney World in January!
Part of the fun in going to Disney World is seeing the characters. And although traditional meet and greets haven’t returned to Disney World since its reopening, there are still plenty of places to see characters, wave to them, and say hello!
It’s Mickey!
Today, we found a NEW spot where you can meet one of Disney World’s most popular — and stylish — characters!
If you’re celebrating the new year by heading to Disney World in January, you might want to know what’s going to be closed in the parks and hotels.
Splash Mountain
There are a few closures — including a couple of MAJOR rides — happening next month. Find out which attractions, rides, transportation, and hotels will be closed in January. [Read more…]
It might be 2022, but Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration is STILL going strong all around the resort!
Typhoon Lagoon has reopened!
Believe us when we say we’ve had a LOT of 50th anniversary cupcakes, brownies, drinks, and other snacks! SO MANY snacks. But a new 50th Anniversary Treat just popped up today, and well, we had to try it! It’s what we do!
 Happy New Year, everyone! Who’s ready for some NEW Disney merchandise? Disney has been on a roll lately! We saw these fun 2022 ears debut a few days ago just in time for the New Year festivities, but one can only wear those poke-y plastic ears for so long, sadly.
Only 200 years until the coolest year ever: 2222!
Luckily, it looks like a NEW pair of Minnie ears just debuted in Disney Springs. We hope your New Year’s resolution wasn’t to save money; we have a feeling that Disney is going to sell a TON of new ears this year… .
And just like that, 2021 has come to a close!
Cinderella Castle
Perhaps for the first time all year, we don’t have a single entry this month from a theme park on either our best or worst list. Every item we’re covering today came from outside of the parks, and the majority (with the exception of one) came from the resorts!
Oh, DOLE Whip, beautiful DOLE Whip, how we love thee, let us count the ways… .
We love you so much
Whether you’re classic pineapple or part of a delicious float or watermelon or lemon and lime, or well, ANYTHING that is considered a DOLE Whip, you will always be one of our favorite things to eat at Disney World. But now, we’re having our minds BLOWN because we’re mixing up our very own DOLE Whip creations. Say what?!?!
Some Disney parks foods are so iconic that they’re basically their own characters at this point.
Mickey Waffle
Behold, the Mickey waffle. This irresistible sweet treat has become a staple at the Disney Parks! We can’t get enough of these waffles, so much so that we learned how to make them at home! If you love Mickey waffles as much as we do, you’re gonna want to check out this new line that just landed in the Disney Parks!
