food IS a theme park
2021 is Disney World’s 50th anniversary!
Cinderella Castle
To celebrate, we’re getting new costumes for Mickey and Minnie and even a ride’s grand opening! The celebration will be 18 months long, and we can’t wait for it to kick off on October 1st! But a HUGE part of the anniversary are the mini-transformations coming to each of the park’s icons, and today, we got a closer look at one of them.
Disney California Adventure will reopen its gate soon meaning there might be a few more people hanging out around Downtown Disney!
A Touch of Disney banner already up in the park!
On March 18th, the park will reopen Thursdays through Mondays for the special ticketed event, A Touch of Disney. Needless to say, we’re pretty excited to be back eating and drinking our way through all the different lands. And, Disney is giving us even MORE time to meander around Downtown Disney after the event ends!
Eating in Disney World can get pricey, so we’re constantly looking for great deals you can take advantage of there.
Disney Springs
Well, if you want the chance to score some FREE FOOD or even FREE gift certificates for one Disney Springs restaurant, we’ve got a special deal you’ll want to check out.
It’s no secret that Disney will continue to be BUSY for spring break.
EPCOT
We’ve already seen Disney extending park hours as Park Pass reservations have been FULLY booked for next week. But if you’ll be in EPCOT tomorrow, good news! You have a little extra time to enjoy the park.
We’re BIG fans of the monorail here at DFB.
EPCOT Monorail
And we love seeing it get the recognition it deserves! We recently spotted some Cast Members over at Disney’s Contemporary Resort with monorail-themed costumes. It made us wonder: how could WE show our love for this classic Disney transportation?! And then there it was, in Disney Springs. A brand-new monorail collection!
Disney Easter and springtime fun has already begun!
Hey, Thumper!
In Disneyland, we’ve spotted springtime balloons, those classic Disneyland FUDGE Easter eggs, and more adorable spring treats. We’ve also seen some springtime popcorn arrive in Disney World. And you can even get a FREE Easter-themed toy TODAY (March 10th) only. But more springtime fun is on the way! Soon, you’ll get the chance to go on a magical Disney-themed Easter egg hunt right from the comfort of your own home!
We’ve really been enjoying the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival this year!
Donald and Daisy in plant form!
We’ve loved seeing all the topiaries and gardens, as well as sampling all the incredible food the festival has to offer. We’ve even checked out a lot of the activities and entertainment!
Well, here we are, at Magic Kingdom!
You can fly!
And it was a beautiful day to just take in the sights (like does Cinderella Castle EVER get old?), see what kind of new merch we could find, and eat a few of our favorite snacks! So let’s see what’s new?
In case you didn’t know, we’ve been getting pretty into TikTok here at DFB.
Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway
We’ve taken a stab at a few trends like the tortilla challenge, but mainly, we like letting you tag along with us on our trips to the parks! So when we heard Disney was letting us ALL hop aboard Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway tonight on TikTok, we HAD to share it with you.
Disney World is constantly making changes.
Disney World
We’ve seen changes made recently to Disney’s face mask policy. We’ve also seen refurbishments announced for rides and locations all over the parks, plexiglass added to more rides, and changes made to ride seating arrangements. Today we spotted another change — but this time the change is related to Disney World’s Park Pass Theme Park Reservation system.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
