food IS a theme park
Recently, we’ve seen quite a bit of news involving Disney and some nearby properties in Orlando.
Walt Disney World Gateway
So far, we’ve gotten some updates about Disney’s Flamingo Crossings Town Center (which is being worked on), and we’ve heard about a potential construction project Disney might be involved in elsewhere in Orlando. But, now we’ve got some news about a property Disney will actually be selling.
There are a lot of ongoing projects in Disney World right now, but one that we’re incredibly excited about is the new fireworks show coming to EPCOT, Harmonious!

This new nighttime spectacular doesn’t yet have a premiere date, but we’ve been watching the construction progress carefully. All of the barges for the show are now out on World Showcase Lagoon and we’ve seen some of the show elements testing. Today, one of our readers caught a glimpse of even more pieces working!
The cruise industry has been at a standstill due to the ongoing pandemic.
Will Disney set sail again this year?
Cruises leaving the U.S. are currently grounded — the Disney Cruise Line, for example, has canceled all departures through June. And while the CDC recently released another phase of its Framework for Conditional Sailing Order, which provides updated guidance for cruise ships’ return, the Florida governor has threatened to file a lawsuit against the public health agency. Now, that lawsuit has become a reality.
Construction on the Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Wish, is making progress!

We’ve been closely following the project, from the day the ship’s name was announced to updates on WHEN, exactly, this ship will set sail. While the big debut was delayed to summer 2022, Disney is still hard at work! And today, construction reached an exciting milestone.
The majority of Disney World is full of fun nods to our favorite Disney movies and characters, cute hidden details, or delicious food.

Buuuuut, sometimes we see things in Disney World that are just plain SCARY. Whether it’s an unexpected ride, a terrifying staple in a hotel lobby, or a larger-than-life figure that is sure to induce nightmares, Disney can be pretty frightening sometimes! Today, though, we’re looking at one of the creepiest things in ALL of the Disney Parks.
The 2021 hurricane season is approaching.

Here at DFB, we keep a close eye on these storms so you know how they may impact your Disney World vacation. And with the season starting soon — on June 1st, to be exact — we’re taking a look at the first formal prediction.
Here at DFB, we love trying the latest eats in Disney World.
We love you, coconut pineapple Dole Whip swirl, so so much
From our EPCOT festival must-haves to special snack hacks, we’re Disney food pros, if we do say so ourselves. But two new restaurants are opening OFF-property that just may have us hoppin’ in our cars and driving…dare we say it…away from Disney World! And if you’re lookin’ for some good eats in the Walt Disney World area, these 2 new fast food spots just may have ya covered.
Disney World is full of incredible snacks and treats…but have you ever eaten a cinnamon roll the size of your FACE?

How about an entire pineapple full of Dole Whip? When it comes to snacking in Disney World, there are plenty of options, so why not opt for the biggest snacks there are?
Okay guys…Blue Milk or Green Milk?!
Blue and Green Milk in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
These famous Star Wars: Galaxy Edge sips are kinda divisive: people tend to love one or the other! (Luckily, if you can’t choose, we’ve got a hack where you can have BOTH.). We tend to be Blue Milk fans ourselves, but hey! To each their own. And recently, Disney World got a NEW opinion on this classic debate. But he doesn’t look all too happy about it!
On your mark…get set…GO!!!!
