food IS a theme park
While the Disney Parks around the world have started to reopen to guests, Disney Cruise Line has remained closed as a health and safety precaution.

Since the CDC has extended cruise line’s closures through September (and could continue to extend the date), Disney hasn’t set plans for departures until Fall 2021. While this is the current situation, officials at Port Canaveral are looking to the future.
Since the NBA season’s return at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, we’ve seen lots of new merchandise, gotten a peek at some of the special set-up the players have, and even seen a blimp soaring over Disney World.

Now we’ve got a new update on some upcoming NBA games.
It’s a strange new world we’re living in, and the Florida theme parks are ready to reflect and look forward.
Disney World
Today, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis held a roundtable with representatives from several major central Florida theme parks to talk about their reopenings and the coming months. In attendance were representatives from Universal, Toothsome, Sea World, and Disney — and the discussion gave us an inside look at how the reopening is playing out in the Disney parks.
It’s almost time to celebrate Labor Day in Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
While Raglan Road has canceled its Great Irish Hooley this year in Disney Springs, other restaurants in the resorts will be extending their hours for guests to dine longer throughout the weekend.
We’ve been eating entire batches of Hocus Pocus Cookies, so that MUST mean it’s Halloween time! 🎃
Fall at Magic Kingdom
While our closets have basically turned into havens for spooky goodies with the Halloween Spirit Jersey, Candy Minnie Ears, and Snack Crocs, we’ve been scoping out terrifying treats around Disney World too! As the season of Pumpkin Spice and Fall decorations start to sweep their way through the parks, returning merchandise has also been popping back up!
Here at DFB, we love chocolate, whether it’s the Black Spire Hot Chocolate in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge or the fabulous Gold Rush Sundae from the Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop in Disney Springs.
Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop
Speaking of Ghirardelli, you can now get a great discount to have some of that mouth-watering chocolate shipped directly to your home! That’s right: you don’t even have to go to Disney Springs to stock up on all the chocolate! We’re in!
We had no idea that National Banana Pudding Month was even a thing, but we are totally on board to celebrate it!
Black Tap
And we’re not the only ones: Black Tap Craft Burgers & Shakes in Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort has released a special shake in honor of one of the South’s favorite desserts.
Disney World is back open, but all is not back to normal.
Magic Kingdom
When the Disney parks initially closed, we had no idea what to expect for the coming months. Now, we’re still getting out minds around just how monumental the effects of the global health crisis have been. One group who has dealt with significant upset are Disney World Cast Members — some of whom still remain furloughed. Unfortunately, those furloughs may continue even longer.
Now that Magic Kingdom park is open again to guests, we decided to mosey on over Pecos Bill Tale Tale Inn and Cafe to see what we could rustle up!
Pecos Bill
Put on your cowboy boots (but, like, not really because it’s Florida and it is HOT!!) and settle in while we tell a tale of our time in the Wild West! Pecos Bill’s (as it’s more commonly known) is nestled in the heart of Frontierland and has long been a fan-favorite quick service dining location at Magic Kingdom park.
