food IS a theme park
Okay, we love Minnie ears. We can’t get enough of them. But…not all of them are wins.
Ears
There’s a NEW pair of Minnie ears in Disneyland today and we aren’t sure how we feel about them. They give us…couch vibes, somehow? We’ll let you decide.
Disney World’s eighteen-month-long 50th Anniversary Celebration is off and running, and we’ve been covering all of the newest entertainment, merchandise, and, of course, food! From now until April 2023, the parks and resorts will be commemorating this historic milestone celebration with limited-time offerings you don’t want to miss!

If you’re heading to Disney World the week of October 10th, there will be plenty of new things to see and do. In order to make the most of your upcoming vacation, you’ll want to make sure you review the latest park hours and Park Pass Reservation information, especially considering the week of the 10th starts off with a holiday weekend for many guests!
We ate a LOT of new treats and snacks for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary recently.
Yum!
Some of the treats were absolute winners in our books, while others…not so much. But we wanted to see what y’all thought about all of these goodies! So we’re holding the Official DFB 50th Anniversary Treats and Eats Challenge, where our readers can choose their favorite treats on social media in a bracket-style competition. It’s basically March Madness for the 50th Anniversary. Let’s see how those treats did in round two!
Welcome back, DFB friends! It’s time to go over what’s new at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

There’s a lot of new Marvel and Star Wars merchandise, so let’s get into it!
It’s been one week since Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration kicked off!
Time to celebrate!
There have already been a ton of festivities for the occasion, like a new cavalcade, new ride, new merchandise, and a new fireworks show. Something else that’s keeping the party going is all of the special food items that have been released for the anniversary! We’ve tried a TON of new things, but we just keep finding more and more anniversary items around Disney World, including a sparkly new drink in Disney Springs!
We are so excited about the newest ship in Disney Cruise Line’s fleet, the Disney Wish!

The ship will set sail for its maiden voyage in June 2022 from Port Canaveral, FL, and will offer 3- and 4-night cruises to Nassau and Disney Cruise Line’s Castaway Cay. And there is going to be SO MUCH TO DO on the ship for EVERY age group.
Earlier this year, Disneyland Paris unveiled a new Premier Access program, which essentially got rid of the FastPass system there and replaced it with a program that allows guests to pay a little extra to skip the lines at certain attractions. Sounds kinda like Disney Genie+ and pay-per-ride, right?

Premier Access works like this — a guest can choose to pay an upcharge via the Disneyland Paris app to skip the line for each available attraction. Only certain rides have this feature, but those that do cost anywhere from around €8 to €15 (around $9 to $18 USD).
 If you’re looking for some snazzy 50th Anniversary merchandise in Disney World, you won’t have to go far.
50th Anniversary Display in Disney Springs
There are tons of items in all four theme parks, plus more in Disney Springs! Now we’ve found a NEW 50th Anniversary collection that’s a little bit fancier than most of the stuff we’ve seen so far. And the best news? It’s available NOW both in the Disney parks and online!
Remember that time we ate about a million new treats on Disney World’s 50th Anniversary?

We ate some truly delicious snacks on October 1st, but there were plenty that didn’t make our favorites list as well. In case you don’t have time to go through all our reviews and photos from that glorious day, we ranked ALL the 50th Anniversary treats, drinks, and snacks we tried in the Magic Kingdom.Â
We’re heading to Disney World’s wildest park today — Animal Kingdom!
Tree of Life
Restaurantosaurus is a quick-service spot located in DinoLand U.S.A. Here you can find crowd-pleasing dishes like foot-long hot dogs, chicken nuggets, 1/3 pound cheeseburgers, and Cobb Salad. Most of DinoLand is geared to younger kids, and the quick service food here matches that theme! We stopped by to see if the food was worth a visit, even if you’re an adult.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
