food IS a theme park
We have had quite a few…interesting chip flavors from the China pavilion in EPCOT!
Chips
From Salty Egg & Shrimp to Honey Butter, it’s been quite the culinary adventure. And now, we’re back in the China pavilion for more unique treats! Our contenders for this snack challenge: Cucumber flavored chips and Spicy Crayfish flavored chips! Could either of these be a new favorite? We’re about to find out!
We hope you’ve got room in your stomach for dessert!
Beaches & Cream To Go
We’ve already fueled up today with a returning Christmas drink at Starbucks, the Irish Cream Cold Brew, and now we’re headed to satisfy our sweet tooth! You GOTTA see the monster holiday shake over at Disney’s Beach Club Resort!
It’s no secret that Disney Imagineers are pretty skilled at making some crazy bots.

As the years go by, more and more animatronics are popping up in Disney parks that make us question if they just might be real people. Seriously, Hondo Ohnaka on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run looks like a guy in some really good FX makeup! Now, Disney has come up with TWO more wild bots; take a look!
We’re big fans of Disney ride vehicles. We know, we know, that sounds a little weird. But, YES, the vehicles are a BIG part of what makes a ride great!

Think about the trackless ride vehicles on Rise of the Resistance or Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, the iconic Doom Buggies on Haunted Mansion, and the VERY cool Omnicoaster vehicles coming to Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. Well, Disney has come up with a NEW vehicle system and we’re pretty excited about it.
The holiday season is upon us, which means lots of you are probably looking for the perfect present for that special someone!
Mickey Waffle Pot Holder
That could be some adorable new kitchen accessories from Downtown Disney, a cool toy or shirt from shopDisney (especially good to get while their Cyber Monday deals are still going on), or something else! Well, if you’re still looking for something great to gift to someone or even get for yourself, we just found the perfect thing — some beautiful steel Mouse Ears (a.k.a. Mickey ears) and Castle monogram decorations that will make your home feel like the most magical place on earth!
Today is one of the first chilly days — by Florida standards, that is 😉 — in Disney World this season.
The Holiday Season at Magic Kingdom
We’re topping off in the 50s, but we can still appreciate a nice cold brew even on a cooler day. So we were glad to see a returning seasonal favorite back at the Main Street Bakery (Magic Kingdom’s Starbucks location) today! [Read more…]
Happy holidays, DFB friends! While we’ve been taking you around us to see what Disney World looks like for Christmas, we’ve also given you a peek at the crowds we’ve seen recently.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Currently, Disney World is keeping its capacity at 35%, Disney Park. With this capacity limit, we have seen park passes fill up and be restocked.Â
2020 has been FULL of surprises.

Some surprises have been great, some hectic, and some moments were highly entertaining. There were a few select moments that will go down in Awkward Disney World History. You know, the times where you sit back and say to yourself, “Wait, what just happened??” We think everyone is in need of a much-needed laugh right now. Let’s reflect on the moments that Disney hitched a ride on the Struggle Bus and made us seriously facepalm in the process.Â
From Space Mountain to the Jungle Cruise, we’ve enjoyed seeing our pal Minnie Mouse all dressed up and ready to celebrate some of our favorite Disney attractions in each of the Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction series that have been released this year.

But now, the time for Disney’s very LAST Main Attraction collection that will be released this year — the Nighttime Castle & Grand Finale — is almost here! But, two changes have been made to this collection in terms of its official name and when MerchPass entries will be available.
We’ve been not-so-patiently awaiting the arrival of Pixar’s newest film, Soul!
Soul Photo-Op
The movie is set to drop on Disney+ THIS MONTH, and we can’t wait! We’ve been checking out previews of the film and shopping the merch, all in anticipation of its release on Christmas day. (What a gift!) Now, Disney dropped even more merchandise for us to check out on shopDisney, and we’re sharing some of our favorite items!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
