food IS a theme park
Happy holidays from the Grand Californian Hotel & Spa in Disneyland Resort!
Grand Californian Tree
It’s officially the holiday season, with the Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure and Merriest Nites at Disneyland well underway and plenty of holiday treats to enjoy! Today, we’re trying a new holiday treat over at one of the Grand Californian Resort’s restaurants — it’s an…interesting one.
Disney World attractions, rides, and restaurants can close down for a myriad of reasons, sometimes planned and sometimes not.
Kali is Closed
The unplanned closures are usually due to weather or technical issues, but there are also some scheduled closures for maintenance that you can plan for during your trip. We like to keep you updated on what’s going to be closed in Disney World so that you’re not blindsided when you arrive in the parks! Â [Read more…]
Hey howdy hey from Disneyland Resort in California!
World of Color!
We have a LOT of updates on everything that’s been going on in Disneyland lately, so buckle up! We’re talking everything from holiday treats to a beloved land closing! Let’s get started!
What’s up, DFB Friends?
Don’t mind us — we just ate a ton of pizza this week!
The holidays have arrived at Disney World, and we’re still trying out all kinds of new holiday snacks and drinks, and we’ll keep doing so until the end of the year! But while we’re doing that, we’ve also been keeping an eye on menus at Disney World restaurants to track any changes. And we’ve got a few for you this week!
Have you ever dropped your beloved Minnie ears in a dirty spot? Ever felt like it was time to clean that pair of ears you wear on every visit to Disney World? (It IS hot and sweaty there and those headbands are sure to get a bit…funky with time, right?)
You’ll want to keep these beauties clean!
Betcha didn’t know that, according to Disney, you can actually WASH your ears! We’re breaking it down step-by-step to show you how (safely) to wash your ears.Â
Disneyland is FULL of amazing snacks and holiday treats, but you’re in for a good one today, people. We try it ALL when it comes to Disney food — the good, the bad, and the WEIRD! Every once in a while, though, we find an especially delicious snack that leaves us stuffed and SUPER happy.
Who’s hungry?
Come to Disneyland with us as we try a (MESSY) snack we’ve never had before! Is it a new favorite, or a new failure? Let’s find out!
Pixar Putt is a pop-up event by Disney and Pixar, featuring Pixar-themed minigolf.Â
Pixar Putt!
We were able to visit Pixar Putt when it was located in New York City’s Battery Park, and now it’s moved to a new city! So check out what you might experience AND where this popular putt-putt pop-up has moved!
In honor of the holiday season, D23 is hosting the Season of Magic Sweepstakes, with a new prize awarded every day for 23 days in December!

We’ve been checking in to see what each of the daily drawings has to offer. So far, D23 has given away some awesome prizes, like a Mulan Imperial Palace Light-Up Figurine, an adorable Bambi and Thumper collectible plush set, and a 50th Anniversary Cookbook, to name a few!
UPDATE: Splash Mountain has reopened as of 2PM EST in Disney World.
Happy holidays from Magic Kingdom! There’s a lot happening at the park right now, with Very Merriest After Hours underway and new rides like TRON Lightcycle Run on the way!

However, sometimes things are not so perfect at Disney World — rides evacuate, power outages happen — but ride closures are typically solved pretty quickly. At the Magic Kingdom there was one wrinkle this morning: two MAJOR rides went down.
If there’s one thing we love (besides, you know, Disney food), it’s Disney movies!

In the past, we’ve asked you guys on Facebook and Instagram about your favorite Festival of the Holidays foods and things you wish would come back to Disney World, but today we want to know, which Disney movies are your favorites? We asked our readers (that’s you!) over on Instagram to choose between different Disney movies based on which one was their favorite.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
