food IS a theme park
It’s another day at Disney World, and we’re trying a new snack during this busy time of year!
PizzeRizzo
Just this week alone, we’ve had several cakes, a St. Patrick’s Day cookie, an Irish Coffee, and some GIGANTIC donuts! But today, we found a treat that’s for all of you huge Nutella fans out there.
We’ve certainly eaten our share of artistic snacks here at DFB!
It’s a work of art!
Not only have we sipped on a Bloody Mary in a Warhol-style tomato soup can, but we’ve also had a Passion Fruit Mousse that looked almost too beautiful to eat. Then there were the gorgeous Valentine’s Day creations over at Le Petit Cafe, along with a chocolate sculpture of Cinderella Castle at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.
There’s no doubt that it is a busy time if you are traveling to Disney World.
Orlando International Airport
While we’ve seen Disney World pretty crowded this week with all four parks at capacity, it wasn’t totally what we expected. And, if you find yourself flying to Disney World in the next few weeks, you can expect the airports to be fairly busy as well.
It’s been exactly one year since Disneyland Resort closed its doors.

Several other Disney Parks have opened, although Hong Kong Disneyland has closed and reopened again, and Disneyland Paris has closed and has not reopened again. But, has Disneyland remained closed throughout the year due to California’s strict theme park reopening guidelines.
Cake takes MANY forms in Disney World, from the mile-high slices at Gideon’s Bakehouse to beautifully decorated Disney Princess cakes.Â

It goes without saying, though, that not EVERY cake in Disney World is gonna be a hit, as is clearly evidenced by a pair of two new cakes we tried in EPCOT, and spoiler alert: we wished we only ordered one of them! [Read more…]
So many Minnie Ears…so little time (and money because we keep spending it on Minnie ears!)… .
Wall of Ears!!!
Disney keeps releasing gorgeous new designs that are hard to say ‘no’ to, like pretty floral ears, Orange Bird ears (!!!), and ears with all our favorite parks icons on them. Yeah, there have been some ears we weren’t exactly FOND of, but for every one of those, there are usually 10 pairs we end up loving!
Sure, it might look a lot like St. Patrick’s Day around Disney World, especially with all the green food we’ve been eating! But Easter is right around the corner, too!
It’s the Easter Bunny! (Pre-park closures)
We’re already seeing little signs of Easter at the parks and online, including Easter plushes, new figurines, and upcoming special brunches (one of our favorite meals of the day!). But today, we saw yet another sign that Easter is almost here!
There’s so much food around the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival that it’s difficult to choose our top choices. So, we had to turn to the foodie experts — our readers!
Fantasia Topiary
We asked YOU about the best treats from the festival this year on our Instagram Stories. We narrowed down the 24 different menu items in our first round of the bracket. And, we’re getting closer and closer to our winner now that round two has completed its voting!
Tangled is full of fun and memorable scenes, but there is one in particular that makes our hearts melt every time! Sing it with us…”And at last I see the light.”
Tangled Mosaic at Disney’s Riviera Resort
That’s right! We’re talking about the ICONIC love scene between Flynn Rider and Rapunzel with the floating lanterns from Tangled. And now, it’s been turned into the perfect Loungefly set online!
With the state of the world, we sometimes don’t even know what year we’re living in…and apparently the feeling is mutual for Disney World.Â
EPCOT Crowds
These are strange times indeed, and nowhere is this more clearly articulated than the pressed penny machine in EPCOT’s Norway Pavilion.Â
