food IS a theme park
This year is already flying by, and we swear it was just Halloween yesterday!
Cinderella Castle
And here we are, eating Easter snacks, and getting in the mood for the season with beautiful spring balloons!
If you arrive at Magic Kingdom first thing in the morning, you’re likely to be hungry. That means if you aren’t running to Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, you’re queueing up for coffee and pastries at Main Street Bakery.Â

But here’s a helpful PSA: you’ve got options! For the duration of spring break season, a Tomorrowland restaurant is opening EARLY for breakfast.
Navigating your way around Disney World these days can be a bit more complicated than you might expect! Due to social distancing requirements, Disney might have some doors to its stores blocked and some marked specifically as entrances or exits in a way that you aren’t used to.
Ready to Visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios?
You might also find the lines for some rides to be stretched out pretty far away from the actual entrances. Finding the end of a line or knowing where to look can be really tough and frustrating! So, we made the maps that Disney won’t! Here at DFB we’ve been working on a series of maps to help you navigate the parks right now and make your next trip SO much easier! We’ve already developed these maps for EPCOT and Magic Kingdom, and today we’re sharing our map of Disney’s Hollywood Studios with you!
Now’s a great time to stock up on Disney face masks!
Pandora Face Masks
Each day this month, Disney has been offering a new deal online as part of the March Magic sale. Discounts have been offered on everything from spirit jerseys to Loungefly bags, but since each offer is only valid for one day, you need to act FAST to snag the savings!
There’s no denying it: it’s been a WEIRD few years for movies.

In response to the global health crisis, Disney’s approach to releasing movies has been creative and surprising at times. It can seem kind of random how they decide to release each of their films. So, is Disney playing favorites with certain movies getting a “better” type of release? Let’s take a look!
Disney World is getting VERY spiffed up for its big 50th birthday party!
The Chinese Theater just got a glow up!
We’ve seen Cinderella Castle get a new paint job and extra bling. And don’t even get us started about what’s going on with its stage and moat. Even EPCOT is getting a massive overhaul and is already starting to look pretty spectacular!
We’re back to bring you the scoop from Disney Springs!

Spring has sprung at Disney Springs, and we are here to update you with everything that we’ve found! Let’s dive right in!
One thing we love about EPCOT is World Showcase, where we can visit so many countries around the world without ever leaving Disney World!
EPCOT World Showcase
Okay, so we also love eating all those internationally-inspired snacks and buying merchandise exclusive to specific countries! Oh, and the festivals!
Disney’s Raya and the Last Dragon has taken off since its release on March 5th on Disney+ and in theaters! We have fallen in love with these characters, especially Raya’s iconic sidekick.

Disney is notorious for having some of the best sidekicks. We have seen Dante from Coco, Olaf from Frozen, and Hei Hei from Moana. Most recently we were given Tuk Tuk from Raya and the Last Dragon, and now we’re looking at how this lovable character was created!
The global health crisis has been particularly hard on the travel industry, and perhaps even more so on cruise lines.
Disney Cruise Line
At the moment, Disney Cruise Line has currently canceled sailings through August, although the company hopes to resume some operations this fall. Disney also recently announced a new staycation cruise experience in the U.K. However, for the time being, cruises leaving the U.S. are currently grounded and the CDC continues to extend no-sail orders.
