food IS a theme park
Hello, DFB Friends! We’re enjoying both Halloween and the 50th Anniversary Celebration at Disney World these days.
50th Celebration Baked Alaska at Hollywood Brown Derby
So while we’ve been eating our way around all the 50th celebration snacks AND the Halloween snacks, we’ve also been keeping an eye on restaurant menus at Disney World. And although there aren’t a LOT of updates this week, we’ve still got a few.
If you’re headed to Disney World for the holidays, you’re in for a real treat!
Magic Kingdom, Castle with Holiday Projections
Not only will the parks be sporting their holiday decorations (one park got started a little early!), but you’ll also have the opportunity to get tickets to Mickey’s Very Merriest After Hours, indulge in food and fun at the EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays, and shop for holiday merchandise.
It’s that time again!
The Most Magical Place on Earth
We’re looking at what is going to be CLOSED in Disney World next week, including rides, attractions, and shops in the parks as well as hotels on Disney World property. Let’s see what’s NOT going to be available so that you’re prepared before your Disney trip.
We’ve got 18 months to celebrate Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, and what a party it’s been so far!
Disney World Signs
We’ve been enjoying seeing all of the golden statues in the parks, the great new decor, and — of course — eating ALL of the new foods! We’ve also been checking out tons of fun merchandise that has dropped in honor of the big celebration, and today we found one that is taking us waaaaay back!
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration is in full swing!
Happy 50th, Disney World!
The party lasts all the way through April of 2023, which means your upcoming Disney World vacation will be filled with special entertainment, food, and more. If your trip is right around the corner, we’re going to catch you up on the latest park hour and Park Pass Reservation availability!

One of the newest restaurants in Disney World is Steakhouse 71, located at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.
Steakhouse 71
The restaurant’s theme is a nod to Disney World’s opening in 1971, and the decorations, artwork, and furniture reflect that time period in an upscale but nostalgic way. We’ve eaten breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Steakhouse 71 now, plus we visited the lounge to try some bites and drinks there. So when is the BEST time to eat at this new spot? We’ll break it down for ya here. [Read more…]
After over a year, Disney Cruise Line is sailing again. The Disney Dream, Disney Wonder, and Disney Fantasy have once more taken to the open seas.

Guests going on cruises, though, will notice that some things have changed onboard due to the global health crisis, including updates that have been made to dining and character experiences. Now, a new policy change has been made when it comes to unvaccinated children.
We don’t know if you’re like us, but we love hunting down Hidden Mickeys! And well, we look for Hidden Mickeys everywhere (and not just at Disney Parks, because, well, maybe we’re obsessed!).
It’s a Hidden Mickey!
So we get super excited anytime we spot a new one. And lately, we’ve seen some pretty cool Hidden Mickeys, including on ice cream cones (no, really!!!), on small areas on rides, on tires, in drawings, and more! It’s just so much fun doing our own scavenger hunt as we look for these tiny, yet incredible, details that Imagineers have added to Disney World. Our latest Hidden Mickey can only be seen from the SKY!
