food IS a theme park
We’re less than two months away from the start of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration! The eighteen-month-long extravaganza will feature new nighttime spectaculars like Disney Enchantment and Harmonious, “Beacons of Light” across the four theme park icons, oh…and did we mention a TON of new merchandise?!
Magic Kingdom
If you’re as excited as we are to kickoff the celebration, you’ll want to know about a fun new way to keep track of the countdown…literally to the second!
Hello from Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom
Our fantastic DFB reporters are constantly stopping into the parks and resorts to see what’s new there. During the past few days, a brand new Halloween event has officially begun in Magic Kingdom, we spotted some new reasons why you might want to look UP while in the park, and more. Come along with us to see what’s new in Magic Kingdom!
Character dining has returned to Disneyland Resort!
Plaza Inn
We’ve already had a chance to enjoy the return of characters to breakfast at Storytellers Cafe at Disney’s Grand Californian, and we’re looking forward to the Disney Princess Breakfast Adventures at Napa Rose at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa!
Disney+ has been crushing it with the streaming content lately! Marvel’s What If series just premiered, The Mysterious Benedict Society has been keeping us on our toes, and we’ve been loving the creative Short Circuit films, too!
Disney+
We’ve got a new Christmas movie for your family to enjoy! The Christmas classic Home Alone film coming soon and Disney just shared the release date!
Gideon’s Bakehouse has become very popular in Disney Springs, and for a good reason!
A long line!
They have massive cookies, rich cakes, and delicious cold brew coffee. Sometimes the virtual wait to get into the shop can be HOURS long! Gideon’s releases new flavors quite often, including a limited-time cookie of the month, and we love to stop by and try them out for you! And there are a few delicious items that we think you’re going to want to hear about!
Whether it’s because of a financial mishap, an ended partnership, or new ideas, Disney restaurants sometimes have to close their doors for good.
Writer’s Stop
Initially, we might take it personally, but eventually, these restaurants either become forgotten about or they become a nice lil blip of nostalgia.
If you’ve ever dreamed of working at Disney World, here’s your chance!
GARWSH!
Sure, if you’re a student, you could sign up for the Disney College Program, which recently resumed. Or you could scour the Disney jobs website for an opening. But if you’ve got some culinary skills, you could attend a special job fair AND score a $1000 bonus if you’re hired!
On August 10th, Disney World held its first After Hours BOO Bash event of the year!
Spooky Season!!
We shared lots of photos and videos of everything you can see at the event during our time there, and we’ve even compiled an ultimate guide to BOO Bash to help you plan your trip! If you’re considering attending this event one thing you might be wondering is whether BOO Bash is actually worth the cost. Today we’re breaking down everything you need to know and our thoughts on the entire event.
If there are two things we love a LOT, it’s cookies and ice cream.
Hot Cookie Hour
And well, we won’t complain if the two get combined — we’ve love our yummy ice cream sandwiches from Plaza Ice Cream Parlor at Magic Kingdom, as well as the Hot Fudge Cookie Sundae at Storybook Treats and the Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich from Dino-Bite Snacks at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. So, of course, we’re big fans of the Hot Cookie Hour at Gideon’s Bakehouse, which features a Gideon’s cookie fresh out of the oven with a scoop of locally-made malt vanilla ice cream. Can you say “yum?” But there’s a big problem with the Hot Cookie Hour — it’s ONLY ONE HOUR. NOT ANYMORE!
Who’s ready for the 50th anniversary celebration at Disney World? There’s so much to look forward to!
The 50th is almost here!
Not only will the parks be transformed with new decor and lighting, but we’re also getting new fireworks, new golden character statues, new snacks, and more! But there will also be LOADS of new merchandise including a new limited-time Pre-Celebration Collection — and it’s available starting TODAY at Disney World.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
