food IS a theme park
Here at DFB, we LOVE our Gideon’s.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Cookie
In case you haven’t heard, Gideon’s Bakehouse is home to some of our favorite cookies, cakes, and cold brew. And we’re in good company! The Disney Springs spot is prettyyyy popular, with wait times in the virtual queue lasting hours upon hours (luckily, we’ve got some tips for ya!). But if you just can’t get enough of these sweet treats, good news! A never-before-seen cookie is debuting THIS week.

One of the cornerstones of Disney fandom is collectibles, and luckily, if it exists in the Disney-verse, you can probably collect it! Without a doubt, Funko POPs are some of the most fun Disney collectibles.

There are POPs for just about everything, even some of our favorite rides like the Jungle Cruise! We’ve seen this adorable Skipper Pop before, but now we’ve found a new version that’s even. better.
If you’re heading to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, then there are several treats that you’ll probably want to try!
The most controversial milk in the galaxy!
You’ll want to stop by the Milk Stand to try out blue and green milk, and you may want to snag a reservation at Oga’s Cantina to test out some of the more “unique” drinks in the galaxy. A fan-favorite snack that we highly recommend is the Ronto Wrap from Ronto Roasters — but did you know that you can find it elsewhere with a BONUS side?
Sure, we all love a good pair of Minnie ears, but you know what’s even better? Mickey Mouse pom-pom beanies! And it looks like a few new pairs are headed our way!

That’s right! The beanie brand, Love Your Melon, is dropping a new spring collection and it’s looking fab! And it’s not just beanies — we’re talking Disney-themed baseball caps, headbands, and even t-shirts.

Health and Safety Signs in Disney World
Earlier this year, we shared that vaccine passports may be required to travel and for other special, large events. Even more recently, we shared how various vaccine passport systems are in the works and how a vaccine passport may be required by certain businesses as things start to return to some sense of normalcy. But now we’ve got an update about vaccine passports as they relate to the State of Florida.
