food IS a theme park
Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park still don’t have an official reopening date set.

For quite some time, several individuals and groups including Disney officials, California legislators, a trade association leader who represents Disneyland and others, and more have called on Governor Newsom to issue the theme park reopening guidelines that these locations need to properly reopen.
The 2020 Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival kicked off on July 15th, and we’ve been tasting our way around EPCOT ever since!
A Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival
Because even though we’ve been enjoying ALL of the eats and drinks at the Festival from DAY ONE, the event has welcomed even more additions since the original opening date! Festival Marketplaces including Flavors from Fire, Spain, and The Alps have more recently joined the lineup (with a select few operating just on the weekends). And TODAY brings news of ANOTHER Festival Food Booth that’s about to hit the scene! [Read more…]
What’s not to love about cupcakes? They’re one of our favorite sweet treats here at DFB!
Sprinkles Entrance
So we obviously love going to Sprinkles at Disney Springs and Downtown Disney to try new flavors when they come out. And Sprinkles is bringing out some tasty — and spooky — cupcakes for the month of October!
Disney’s Mulan has been out on Disney+ premier access for a few weeks now.

If you’re like us, you may have dropped the $30 and watched Mulan save China a few times already. But some, whether they aren’t Disney+ subscribers or didn’t want to deal with the premium access, haven’t seen the new flick. Now, there’s a new way for people to watch the film and it’s coming soon!
May the CHARMS be with you!
Pandora Store in Legends of Hollywood
It’s true we’ve seen A LOT of Disney-inspired Pandora charms in recent years. In fact, Pandora just released charms for EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival and a Mickey Pumpkin charm for the Halloween season. Well, brace yourself (and your WALLET!!) for more because Pandora just released a NEW selection of Star Wars-themed charms!
Part of the reason we love the Disney parks so much is because of the wonderful Disney movies that help to inspire them.

From the enchanting tales to the inspiring characters and the happily ever afters, there’s a lot to love about these films. But what if we told you that many of those “happily ever afters” weren’t always the endings that we know and love today? We’re taking a look at 8 Disney movie endings that could have been VERY different! Let’s check them out!
San Angel Inn is one of those restaurants where the MAIN draw is the atmosphere. It’s all about location, baby, and this restaurant is INSIDE the big pyramid in EPCOT’s Mexico Pavilion where it feels like you’re actually dining alongside a lazy river on the bank of a river with a volcano in the distance!
San Angel Inn
This isn’t your typical tex-mex chain style food. It’s going for a more authentic take on Mexican cuisine and the result can be….hit or miss. Some things are REALLY good, while others haven’t wowed us. The inconsistency of the food has turned us off from this spot for a while, but the lure of a Disney water scented restaurant (if you know, you KNOW) called us back. How does the food compare now to the last time we were here? We decided to revisit San Angel Inn and see what’s up.
Walt Disney Imagineering is often at the forefront of advancing technology. These Imagineers are the reason we have marvels like Rise of the Resistance and Flight of Passage. They’re also the reason we have moderately frightening images like this:

We’ll explain in a little. 🙂 The point is, Imagineers spend their days figuring out how to make high-tech experiences accessible to Disney consumers worldwide. Today, five new patents have popped up that might give us an idea of the sort of tech we could see in the not-so-distant future of Disney parks and products — and they could mean immersion like never before.
If you’ve ever paid a visit to Disney’s Beach Club Resort, you may be familiar with the bright and charming space known as The Solarium.
The Solarium at Disney’s Beach Club
And you may be a bit more familiar with it as of late, because The Solarium has been serving as a temporary location for the Beach Club Marketplace since the counter service and merchandise spot closed for a refurbishment at the end of August. As such, we’ve been stopping by The Solarium to get the scoop on new eats at treats at the Beach Club, and we couldn’t help but notice something was missing today. [Read more…]
The new Hocus Pocus ColourPop Collection was set to be released earlier this week, but due to some site complications, it had to be delayed.
