food IS a theme park
Yes, we know it’s months away, but it’s never too early to get excited for Halloween!
Mickey’s Trick and Treat at Oogie Boogie Bash
Oogie Boogie Bash is a wildly popular Halloween event in Disney California Adventure. It includes immersive treat trails, the Frightfully Fun Parade, the Mickey’s Trick-Or-Treat show, Villains Grove, special character experiences, and more. And now, we’ve got a huge update about this year’s party!
Halloween fans, today is a GOOD day!
Halloween in Magic Kingdom
The spooky season is one of our favorites in Disney World! We love all the Halloween decorations, the special snacks, and, of course, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. If you’ve been thinking of attending a Halloween Party this year, we have great news — the first dates have just been released!
We’ve made it to May, y’all!
It’s so pretty!
Granted, it already feels like summer in Disney World (yes, it’s getting hot out), but that hasn’t stopped us from celebrating Hollywood Studios’ 35th Anniversary, seeing what new cookies Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs is offering this month, and chowing down on what is essentially a massive cake pop. We’ve also been keeping an eye on Disney World restaurant menus, and the beginning of a new month has brought a LOT of changes.
Welcome to EPCOT. The park for people who love characters, rides (hello, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind), food (there’s a World Showcase FULL of great meals), and, of course, drinks. Yep, drinking around the world has become a pretty big thing in EPCOT, but there’s one special day in May that attracts even MORE people to this park. The crowds showed up at EPCOT on May 5th. Any guesses why?
EPCOT
May 5th is Cinco de Mayo, and while Disney didn’t announce any special Cinco de Mayo offerings, we spotted plenty of people in EPCOT ready to celebrate! Wait until you see what we mean.
Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort is home to a seriously surprising amount of activities for families and groups of friends. There’s an entire ranch at this resort with a BIG barn you can explore!
Horseback riding at Fort Wilderness
One of the most popular activities is horseback riding. A few times a day, guests can participate in a 45-minute horseback ride through the wooded trails of the campground. However, this summer, this offering will be temporarily unavailable.
We’ve tried a lot of snacks in Disney World, some that we’ve loved and plenty that we never want to see again.
Num Num Cookies
Sometimes, we’re surprised by great snacks that looked a little questionable, or vice versa. For all our sweet treat fans, there’s a new cookie in Disney’s Hollywood Studios you’ll want to try (even if you’re a little hesitant at first)!
A trip to Disney World is a dream come true for many of us, and a special way to remember that moment is that perfect picture. Included with your park ticket, however, is a little bit of heat, a dash of humidity, and sweat galore, which means our “perfect picture” can be ruined with melted-off makeup and droopy eyeliner.
Cinderella Castle
Not to worry though, because we compiled a list of the best beauty products that will stay in place throughout your day at the park. So all you have to worry about is where you’re taking that perfect picture.
Did you know you could get all kinds of SUPER unique souvenirs in Magic Kingdom?
Disney World’s Magic Kingdom
Sure, you can head straight into the Emporium like everyone else does and grab the same shirts, pins, ears, and accessories that everyone else is buying. Now, don’t get us wrong, we love seeing the latest Loungefly bags, designer ears, and other popular souvenirs. However, our favorite Magic Kingdom souvenir comes from a shop that you’re probably just walking by without ever realizing it’s there.
Star Wars Day has come and gone, but we’re still celebrating all things Star Wars here at DFB.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
That’s because the Season of the Force is still going strong in Disneyland (it lasts through June 2nd), which means we’ll be celebrating everything from a galaxy far, far away for a little longer. Now, that event brings special snacks to the parks, but May the 4th brings more special snacks (some you can only find for ONE DAY) to both Disney World and Disneyland. Yes, we were on BOTH coasts to try out a BUNCH of May the 4th treats, and we’ve got reviews for all of them!
By now you know that Disney World is all about the change!
1900 Park Fare
“Out with the old and in with the new,” they say, and we can see it with all the projects around Disney World for the past few years. We definitely feel the change in Disney World’s restaurants. To that point, we’ve got a list of the Disney World restaurants that’ve undergone the most recent changes so that you’re not in the dark when you’re planning for your next trip!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
