food IS a theme park
Here at DFB, we’re REALLY into Disney food. Seriously, it’s right there in our name!
Spread from Regal Eagle
We’ve been covering Disney food and blogging about it for more than 15 years (!!!) at this point, which means we’ve been to every Disney restaurant, eaten hundreds (if not thousands) of snacks, and spent countless hours at EPCOT festivals.
Believe it or not, Disney doesn’t ALWAYS get its own way!
Cinderella Castle
So we’re taking a look at some of the most ICONIC things that Disney World was FORCED to stop doing, and what helped us fill the void after these had come and gone.
Quite a few things are currently closed in Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure just officially opened, but Country Bear Jamboree is still down for refurbishment. Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade just closed permanently to become a new Disney Vacation Club lounge, and Tortuga Tavern is now seasonally closed in Adventureland. Seems like a long list, right? Well, now we’re adding another offering to that group.
Does anyone else hear that? 🤔 It appears to be the sound of my wallet crying out for help. That’s probably because it knows about the GORGEOUS new Haunted Mansion Dooney & Bourke collection that Disney just dropped online.

Haunted Mansion fans are going to LOVE these new bags! The design features fan-favorite characters from the classic ride, like Madame Leota, the Hitchhiking Ghosts, the singing busts, and more. Check out all of these new bags, which you can get online from the Disney Store NOW!
Disney parks are changing in a major way and more updates are on the horizon.
Magic Kingdom
The DisneylandForward project has officially been approved and will bring a $1.9 billion expansion to Disneyland Resort. The first permits have been filed for Disney World’s massive Animal Kingdom expansion, and Magic Kingdom’s Beyond Big Thunder overhaul will breathe new life into the original Florida park. Bob Iger has a new plan for Disney parks, and we happen to be pretty excited about it.
It takes a lot of work to keep you updated on the latest and greatest Disney news. But here at DFB, we love what we do!
Cinderella Castle
We’ve been doing this for over 15 years (!!!), and not only has The Walt Disney Company changed, but so has Disney Food Blog. So, to celebrate our 15th birthday — and all our years of bringing you the most up-to-date information (AND to battle the LACK of an EPCOT festival this summer) we’re throwing our own FESTIVAL!
DFB Mega Fest is two weeks full of giveaways, fun content across all of our social media platforms and blogs, YouTube scavenger hunts, and MORE! Head over to the Mega Fest Hub to see what’s planned!Â
To get the ball rolling — today we’re letting you in on some behind-the-scenes secrets here at DFB!
Yee-haw!!! The Country Bears are BACK, baby! Well, almost…
A new show is coming!
In case you missed it, the Country Bear Jamboree show in Magic Kingdom closed in early 2024 while Disney made some updates to the show. Don’t worry, the same bears you know and love will still be there, but they’ll have a refreshed look and sing some of your favorite Disney songs! Disney is about to begin previews before the attraction officially reopens on July 17th, but before that, we’ve got a sneak peek at the bears. Let’s take a look!
We don’t know about you, but the thought of going to Disney World without any caffeine is totally unimaginable. Can you imagine trying to survive a busy day in EPCOT without any coffee? We would NEVER! But what happens when the line at Starbucks is scary long? Are we doomed to a day without caffeine? NO! Joffrey’s Coffee to the rescue!
Let’s get some coffee!
Joffrey’s Coffee kiosks are sprinkled all around the Disney World parks and hotels. In fact, we recently visited a Joffrey’s spot over in EPCOT, and we tried something NEW! Looking for a sweet new drink to try in Disney Word? We might have something for ya.
Target Circle Week is officially upon us!

If you’re a Target Circle member (which is free to join), you can take advantage of awesome deals all week through July 13th. There’s deals on Disney souvenirs, trip essentials, and more! We also spotted a new deal for anyone looking to purchase tickets to Disneyland!
The 4th of July has officially come and gone, as have the 4th of July snacks.
Toffee and Coconut Blondie
While we’re getting ready for the start of Halloween season, we’ve found what might now be our new favorite mac and cheese snack. We also celebrated the return of hushpuppies to Columbia Harbour House in Magic Kingdom (and we’re hoping Sleepy Hollow waffles will also return soon). We also checked out some new menu items at Morimoto Street Food in Disney Springs. As always, we’ve been keeping an eye on Disney World restaurant menus, and we’ve got some changes to share with you.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
