food IS a theme park
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!
Test Track

Hooray! It’s time to talk about July in Disney World!
Spaceship Earth welcomes you to EPCOT… and to World Celebration!
A lot is going on in the Disney World parks in July 2024 besides sweat, dehydration, and swamp crotch (it’s a thing, don’t look at us like that). Popular attractions are reopening, restaurants are closing, exclusive firework shows are returning for a (very) limited time, and more. Let’s get into five of the biggest changes happening at Disney World in July!
Disney folks are a passionate bunch — but throw Star Wars people into the mix, too, and you’ve got some of the most die-hard fans out there.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
So, when Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, lots of folks got the best of both worlds. There’s so much to explore, see, do, eat, and drink in Galaxy’s Edge — and now there’s one more reason for Star Wars fans to stop by!
Are you ready to celebrate 626 Day?!
Hi, Stitch!
What’s so special about 626 Day? 626 is Stitch’s experiment number from Lilo & Stitch, so it’s known by many Disney fans as Stitch Day. For the past few years, we’ve seen special merchandise, events, and more around the parks and hotels — and it doesn’t look like this year will be any different!Â
We know a thing or two about Disney World eats — we are Disney Food Blog, after all.
Spaceship Earth
So when new snacks come out that we get to try and review for you, well, we get pretty darn excited. EPCOT is known for being a haven of delicious foods and we certainly tend to agree. We’re heading to the World Showcase to check out some new eats at one of our favorite quick-service restaurants!
Do you have a Disney Visa? We’re guessing that a lot of DFB readers probably do. First, a Disney Visa card can help earn you money for Disney trips because you earn points for every purchase you make and you can redeem those points for redemption rewards you can use on Disney trips, merchandise, and more.

Plus, the Disney Visa designs are AMAZING — who else is going to let you carry around a credit card with Darth Vader on it? The card can also score you exclusive character meet and greets in the parks. Plus there are tons of OTHER discounts the card can get you, including a new one that could be the adventure of a lifetime.
Sometimes things are so good you just have to go and revisit them. While we’ve tried everywhere to eat (and drink) around Disney World, we’ve been known to revert back every once in a while to retry a few of our favorites.
Garden House here we come!
This sparked an idea to revisit an “oldie but a goodie” classic stop around EPCOT’s World Showcase’s restaurants that hasn’t failed us in the past. Could Japan’s Garden House stand the test of time? We couldn’t wait to find out! [Read more…]
Downtown Disney in Anaheim recently added three new restaurants — but they’re still not stopping!
Din Tai Fung
A while back, we learned that the iconic Din Tai Fung restaurant — famous for its soup dumplings — would be opening in this shopping and dining district sometime this year, we just didn’t know when. Disney had shared an opening timeline, but now it’s official and we know when you’ll be able to try those delicious dumps!Â
It’s probably pretty obvious that with summer now in full swing, you’ll probably experience fluctuating wait times, heavier crowds, and even some weird weather patterns in Orlando.
Orlando International Airport
But, did you know that holidays can affect travel patterns too? With major airlines and speed trains advertising fare specials around this time, you really could need to plan to pack extra patience and allow for an insurgence of travels. At least, that seems to be the way the numbers are trending right now! [Read more…]
Universal just took Epic Universe to the DARK side.Â
Dark Universe portal photo op
Over the last several months, Universal has released details about each of the lands of the upcoming new theme park: Celestial Park, Super Nintendo World, and How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk. Now, things are getting dark, as in Dark Universe.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
