food IS a theme park
It seems that every other day Disney World is extending park hours!

Today, we’ve got good news for those of you visiting from February 28th to March 13th, because park hours have been extended on select days in ALL four parks!
Every now and then we come across souvenirs in Disney World that are RIDICULOUSLY expensive. And no, we aren’t talking about those head-scratching $14 Mickey balloons that are perhaps a tad overpriced. Think instead a one-of-a-kind replica Cinderella Castle that costs a measly $37, 500, or those STUNNING hand-crafted tables we spotted at Festival of the Arts for $30,000.

We didn’t stumble across anything that was THAT expensive on our recent trip to Magic Kingdom, but the price tag on these glass bowls still made our eyes basically pop out of our head.
Last year, Disney fans in Southern California got a rare opportunity to see some unique Disney memorabilia straight from the Walt Disney Archives.
Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, CA
This opportunity was all thanks to the Inside the Walt Disney Archives: 50 Years of Preserving the Magic exhibit at the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, CA. That exhibit was initially set to end in August 2020, but after a months-long closure due to the global health crisis, the museum reopened and extended the exhibit until September.
Greetings from Disney World’s work-in-progress park!
EPCOT
We visited EPCOT yesterday to check out all of the latest changes and updates after the end of the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. So, without further ado, here’s all the latest news in food, construction, and merchandise!
We’re pretty excited for some Chicago-style eats at Portillo’s near Disney World.

The midwestern chain announced its Orlando location in 2019, and we’ve been getting ready to dig into Italian Vienna beef sandwiches, char-broiled burgers, and Chicago-style Vienna beef hot dogs ever since. Just last month, Portillo’s revealed it would be opening on March 2nd, 2021! But now, that date has been delayed.
Part of Disney World trip planning involves figuring out how you’re going to get there!
Cinderella Castle
And, depending on where you live, you have to decide whether you’re driving or flying. Many guests might feel that flying is easier and faster, but some airlines in some locations still don’t have direct flights to Orlando.
Welcome back, DFB friends! Today we’re back at Disney’s Magic Kingdom with another what’s new!

Good news if you’ll be in Disney World this weekend!
Who else is ready to walk right down the middle of Main Street, U.S.A.?
Park hours in Magic Kingdom and EPCOT have been extended! We just saw Park Passes get refilled, and now hours are getting a little adjustment, too.
