food IS a theme park
If you’re heading to Disney World during the first few weeks of 2022, we’ve got some news for you!
EPCOT
Disney World had previously released park hours through January 1st, 2022. If you’re planning to head out to the parks in early January and you’ve been itching to get an eye on the operating hours you can expect, we’ve got some good news — Disney World park hours are now available through January 10th, 2022!
Tickets? Check. Magic Bands? Check. The inability to sleep because you’re just too excited for this vacation to start? Double check.
What to Pack?!
Looks like you’ve got everything ready to go for a successful Disney World trip. Or DO you…?
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.
UPDATE: Shanghai Disney will remain closed on November 1st-2nd — guests will be notified when Disney has confirmed a date to resume operations.
In Florida, Disney World has been slowly returning to “normal” with modified character meet and greets and an optional outdoor mask policy. Importantly, though, safety is at the heart of all of Disney’s decisions, which is why Disney suspended entry into one of its theme parks on Halloween.

Disney released a statement regarding the temporary change.
Alright, listen, we all understand that Disney World (OK, the WHOLE world!) has been through an ORDEAL in the last couple of years.
Bless you, Disney World. You’ve been having a hard time.
Park closures, health and safety measures, a bazillion and one changes to the way we do things in the parks…some days it has been nothing but pure chaos. Even though things have slowly returned to “normal” in the parks, all of the chaos of the last few years got us thinking — with all the ways that Disney has adapted to the ever-changing world around us, what would the theme parks be like in the most outlandish, ridiculous, out-of-the-box scenario we could think of? Today, we’re discussing what Disney World would do in a zombie apocalypse! (Yes, we’re serious!)
EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival isn’t the only food festival in town! The Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic, which runs on October 29th and 30th, is a food fest that highlights delicious fine dining and a wide selection of wines and beers with 20+ food stands and 100+ drink options.

Today, we’re bringing you a first look at this year’s Food & Wine Classic, so let’s get into it!
Happy Halloween everyone!
Mickey Pumpkin at Disneyland
We’ve been gearing up for this spooky holiday for a while now by attending Boo Bash at Disney World and Oogie Boogie Bash at Disneyland, finding the best trick-or-treat spots, and trying all of the Halloween-themed treats around the Disney parks! Well, the day is almost here and we’ve just found a deal that involves FREE ICE CREAM (need we say more?).
The Artist’s Palette at Disney World’s Saratoga Springs Resort (which is located right next to Disney Springs!) is known for its wide range of basic dishes, groceries, and its reputation as a secret spot to get creative, outside of the box cupcakes and treats!
Artist’s Palette
In the past, we’ve enjoyed this spot’s offerings, such as the 50th Anniversary Eclair and Snow White Apple Cupcake! Generally, we tend to really enjoy the delicious and whimsical treats available at the Artist’s Palette’s bakery. Today, we’re checking out the restaurant’s Halloween treat, so let’s get into it!
Hi, DFB friends! It’s been quite a week in Disney World.
Cinderella Castle
This week we got a refurbishment update, a surprising character experience, new Star Wars merchandise, and more! Let’s get into it.
Happy Halloweekend from Walt Disney World!
Savoring the last bit of Spooky Season!
The Halloween season is almost over, so does that mean a lot of people were in Disney World trying to enjoy the last few Boo Bash events and see the pumpkins on Main Street, U.S.A.? We like to keep up with how crowds look in the parks, so let’s take a look at all the average wait times in Disney World from this week.
Raglan Road is an Irish pub in Disney Springs that features authentic Irish fare, live entertainment, and a true pub atmosphere! It’s a great spot to grab a pint, enjoy a delicious brunch, or have a rousing night out.

However, we’re not talking about Raglan Road’s food today…we’re talking about holiday merchandise!
