food IS a theme park
We’ve been trying TONS of unique chip flavors in EPCOT from the China pavilion!
Fried Crab Flavored Lay’s Potato Chips
We’ve sampled chips flavored like Fried Crab, Candy, Tomato, and even Rice Dumplings! But, today we found some more chip flavors that we hadn’t tried before and you KNOW we had to take a bite of them to see what they were like. We REALLY liked one of them; the other…not so much.
Fantasia is such a great movie, not only because it cleverly took classical music and set it to Disney animation, but also because it gave us Sorcerer Mickey!
Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival
Remember when there was a gigantic Mickey Sorcerer’s Hat in Disney’s Hollywood Studios? That giant hat may be gone, but we’re still seeing plenty of Sorcerer Mickey represented in Disney merchandise! And we’ve even eaten some Sorcerer Mickey-inspired food!
The global health crisis may have caused some delays, but that hasn’t stopped the EPCOT Transformation from progressing. One major delay was to the upcoming refurbishment on Spaceship Earth.
Spaceship Earth
This major refurb is set to introduce a new narration, new focus, and new scenes. Of course, it was delayed indefinitely due to the global health crisis, so we have NO idea when the attraction might close. Still, a new permit might point to some refurb work!
Hey there, DFB friends! We’re checking in with the latest updates from Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom
With Halloween, just a few days away, we stopped by Magic Kingdom to see what new additions have crept into the park since our last visit. Here are all of the latest food, construction, and merchandise updates from Magic Kingdom!
We’ve been keeping an eye out for all the NEW Starbucks parks mugs!
Starbucks Cup
So far, we’ve spotted the Starbucks tumblers (and matching ornaments) for Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Animal Kingdom. Only one park to go, right?
Under the current theme park reopening guidelines released by the state of California, Disneyland Park and Disney’s California Adventure Park are not able to reopen just yet.
Disneyland Park Social Distancing Markers
Orange County, where they are located, needs to reach the Yellow risk tier, and it is currently in the Red risk tier (two tiers above yellow). Some have even stated that they expect Disneyland may not be able to reopen until the summer of 2021. But, that isn’t stopping Disneyland from taking steps to get their parks ready.
The global health crisis has been a challenge for the travel industry, particularly for Disney, which operates theme parks around the world.
Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland
And although Disneyland still remains closed for the time being, one Disney-related attraction in California will reopen soon.
Christmas Masks, Mermaid Masks, Marvel Masks — there’s basically a Disney mask for every season, outfit, show, or anything else you can think of!

We’ve seen some masks in the parks and others online, but when we stopped by a Disney Store recently, we found a bunch there as well!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is home to interactive experiences that allow you to build your own droid or create your own lightsaber.
Sith Holocron with Force Guidance Crystal
Well, Disney just upped the ante with a NEW way to customize your lightsaber and holocrons! The kyber crystal is the force behind any lightsaber and holocron. At Galaxy’s Edge, you can choose the color of your kyber crystal to fit your mood and display what side of the force you represent. Are you on the Dark Side or a Jedi fighting with the Resistance? You can represent your choice with kyber crystals. The crystals customize your lightsaber AND allow you to interact with a holocron!
Disney theme parks around the world closed temporarily earlier this year in response to the global pandemic.

All of Disney’s theme parks, except those at Disneyland Resort in California, have since reopened. But, as the situation with the coronavirus develops, changes continue to occur. Big changes are coming very soon to France that will likely impact Disneyland Paris.
