food IS a theme park
Our childhoods are full of happy memories collecting all those cool Disney toys from McDonald’s Happy Meals, and we still get excited when new ones come out!
We’re loving it.
Seeing that little box with a smile on it, too, also brings us much joy, but BRING ON THE TOYS, right? Fortunately, we’ve had some cool ones recently, including Raya and the Last Dragon toys, some…um…unique Marvel toys, and even some dedicated to Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway.
It’s April, and that means Earth Day is coming up soon!
Grand Floridian
Disney has announced LOTS of ways that we’ll get to celebrate our planet this month — including some awesome new treats! We’ve already gotten to try out the Honey Bee Cupcake and The Loggerhead drink. Now, we’re trying another bee-based dessert!
It’s springtime in Disney World!
Growing the Future Presentation
A BIG part of the Disney spring season is the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. This event features beautiful gardens, yummy eats, and even some plant-based presentations. Today, we got to check out one of these little experiences!Â
We go to Disney World every single day, so yeah, we’ve seen some things… . We’re talking about things straight out of horror movies — and no, we’re not even mentioning the old scary clown pool slide that used to be at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn (oops — we mentioned it).
TERRIFYING
We’re talking about Anna missing a face in Frozen Ever After like some seriously creepy Twilight Zone episode (shudder) and Alien Keychains that look like they’re about to turn into something from a Stephen King movie. Things like that. They don’t mean to be scary…they just are.
Although we’re not the kind of people to put ketchup ON EVERYTHING, we still love it on our favorite burgers and fries at Disney World.
Goodbye, you beautiful bottles of ketchup
And yes, we’ve even been known to occasionally put it on our corn dogs, too — don’t judge us! But that might become a little more difficult in the future.
EPCOT’s transformation is well underway!
Spaceship Earth
With an opening date announced for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and construction trekkin’ along at Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, we’re really starting to see the park take shape! A super exciting aspect of that transformation? The brand-new fireworks show, Harmonious, which is on the way! Although Disney hasn’t yet announced exactly when this show will debut, we’ve been following the construction closely. And now, we’ve got another update!
We know you’re probably already planning your Disney trip this summer now that the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival dates have dropped (along with the returning Cheese Crawl and food booths). BUT, the Flower and Garden Festival is still going strong in the parks right now!

While it’s safe to say we whole-heartedly enjoy the entertainment, snacks, and merchandise, it still takes some work to keep the Flower and Garden Festival in tip-top shape for visitors!
We’ve been keeping our eye on lots of Marvel projects recently from the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Coaster in Disney World and Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure. And, our hype is DEFINITELY real for them to arrive in the parks!
Interactive Groot
As we keep patiently waiting for their debuts, we can at least hang out with the Guardians of the Galaxy a bit early. Well, kind of.
There’s a LOT going on in Disney World!
Don’t let them know you’re with the Resistance!
We love exploring the Most Magical Place on Earth to bring you all the updates! We’ve spent a few days in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and now we’re bringing you everything new in construction and merchandise!
We’re still on the hunt for the BEST spot in Walt Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
But we’re not lookin’ for just any old spots. We’re looking for YOUR favorites! Last week, we asked our DFB readers to tell us their favorite places in the parks. Every single option in this bracket has a special meaning for you guys! Then, we pitted 32 popular picks against each other on our Instagram stories…and the competition has been fierce.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
