food IS a theme park
Disney World is a favorite vacation destination for many — and a pricy one at that.
Disney World
When planning a Disney World trip, you probably have your mind on how much you’ll be spending. Between hotel costs, tickets, food costs, and more; Disney trip spending can easily rack up thousands of dollars for a family. Well, if you’re looking to spend as little as possible on your Disney trip then we’re here to help. Here is how to take your dream Disney World vacation on a budget!
Hello, DFB’ers! It’s been another super fun week at Disney World!
Trader Sam’s is BACK!
We’re still enjoying all the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival food and festivities, as well as celebrating the reopening of Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort (even if it’s a little hard to get in there right now). But there are a few other reopenings at Disney World we’re keeping an eye on, too — along with some menu updates!
Disney Springs is home to a TON of shopping, entertainment, and of course, food!!! It’s a great place to take a break from the parks and enjoy something a little different.
Disney Springs
If you’re heading to Disney Springs on July 25th, you’re in luck because there’s going to be extra special entertainment on the stage!
We’re constantly excited when we see Disney-related snacks at our local grocery store.
Mickey Ice Cream Bar from the Grocery Store
And yes, we’ve eaten our share of grocery store Mickey ice cream sandwiches, Mickey bars, Mickey ice cream, and more just to get a taste of Disney Parks when we’re not there.
It’s time to catch up on all the construction updates going on around Walt Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
We are quickly approaching the beginning of the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebrations, meaning that many refurbishments are getting close to finishing. Plus, we’ve even seen some new ones pop up! So, we’ve got a lot to cover — let’s get to it!
As Disney World continues to open up and increase capacity, the wait times have gotten longer and longer. Higher capacity and Genie+ means that there’s a ton of people going for those standby lines.

However, there’s an alternative for some attractions — going on a ride as a single rider! But it begs the question: is the single rider line really worth it?
When it comes to snacks in Disneyland, we not only love them for being yummy, but we also have to get the ones specifically for the Gram!
Not so hidden Mickey
Something Disney has done in the past is take some of our favorite snacks and add a nice little spin on them that makes them a little more magical, and we came across one of those today at Disneyland! [Read more…]
Exciting changes continue to happen on a weekly basis at the Disneyland Resort! With more dining options returning to the parks and resorts, along with new menus, souvenirs, and more, it seems like the Happiest Place on Earth is constantly changing these days!
Disneyland
Let’s recap what we’ve discovered over the past week at the Disneyland Resort.
Big changes are coming to EPCOT! A huge overhaul of the park is already underway with new attractions, shows, and restaurants coming soon.

We’ve seen lots of progress lately, and Disney has announced opening dates for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, La Creperie de Paris, and a debut date for Harmonious! Today, we got an update on one of EPCOT’s other construction projects!
Let’s be real here…one of the best parts of Disney World is the FOOD.
Time to Eat!
But, with so many restaurants to choose from, it can be hard to know whether you’re going to a spot that’s full of tasty treats or a restaurant that you should have totally skipped. For Magic Kingdom specifically, we’ve taken a look at some secret eats, and ranked every restaurant in the park by dessert. But recently we turned to you, our fantastic readers, to get your thoughts on how every quick-service restaurant in Magic Kingdom should be ranked. What spot came out on top and what’s one place you might want to skip? We’re breaking down the results right now!
