food IS a theme park
Disneyland Resort has slowly had more and more things return since reopening in Spring of 2021.
Hello, Disneyland!
Many restaurants have reopened, after hours events like Oogie Boogie Bash and Merriest Nites returned, and you can see fireworks again. And now, we have another exciting update about an event returning to Disneyland soon!
Disney gift cards — they can be the perfect gift for the fan who has it all, a great way to help you stick to your budget while in Disney World, and a fun souvenir too!
Gift Cards
You’re probably familiar with physical Disney gift cards (including the ones we typically see with wristbands in EPCOT around festival time). But, have you ever bought a digital Disney gift card and used it in the parks? If you’re thinking of doing that on your next trip, we’ve got some important information you need to know.
Want to stay in Disney World after the official closing time? There’s a way to do that but you have to be staying at a Disney World Deluxe Resort, a Deluxe Villa, or other select hotels.
Spaceship Earth
As long as you’re staying in a qualified Disney World Resort hotel, you can take advantage of Extended Evening Hours, which allows guests extra time in two Disney Parks after closing time on scheduled dates. Only a select amount of rides are open during Extended Evening Hours, and a new ride was just added to the list!
We don’t know about you, but Disney-themed bags are some of our most used pieces of merchandise!
Disney bags
There are so many options, too, like Loungefly backpacks, or bags from designers like Dooney and Bourke and Kate Spade. And, we found some new Disney bags online that are great for traveling to the parks!
’Tis the season for holiday shopping and daily sweepstakes prizes!

Dooney & Bourke has some of the fanciest Disney-themed purses out there.
Main Street U.S.A.
We’ve seen some incredible designer bag collections from them in the parks, including some themed after specific attractions, a holiday collection, and a couple of 50th Anniversary bags as well. Now, there’s a NEW collection of Dooney & Bourke bags in the parks that bring out the inner artist in us all. [Read more…]
You know the phrase: “I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!”
Gingerbread Ice Cream
Ice cream is one of the most classic snacks you can get in Disney World or really anywhere! We’ve seen all kinds of unique ice cream in Disney World and Disneyland, from gingerbread-flavored ice cream to a sweet treat that’s meant to taste like BREAD?! But, if you want to learn about a REALLY unique ice cream treat that almost got made, read on!
Mickey and Minnie ears…can you ever have enough pairs?!
So. Many. Ears.
We definitely don’t think so! Disney regularly released new designs — we can hardly keep up with which one is our favorite. There are some really fun ears that have come out for the holidays, like Christmas wreaths and sugar cookie ears, and we’ve also seen a lot of new designs for the 50th anniversary, like the EARidescent ears. And, there is another new pair of holiday ears now available in Disney World!
There are A LOT of different snacks to try when you’re visiting Disney World.
Yes, we’ll take ANYTHING Mickey-shaped, please!
And, if you’ve been following us for a little while here at DFB, you know that we’re suckers for some carbs (especially the ones covered in CHEESE). So, today we’re taking you along with us on a special type of “crawl” — a PRETZEL CRAWL! So, where can you find the best pretzels in Disney World and how can you get to them all in one day? Well, it’s time to put on those stretchy pants because we’re laying out how to have one salty, carby, and cheesy day!
Disney has had some ICONIC hero/villain matchups over the years!
