food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another DFB Video, and today we’re talking about the latest Disney news.
Rise of the Resistance
Just when we thought riding Rise of the Resistance might get a little easier, Disney has thrown us another curveball! Plus, we’ve got a peek inside some attractions that are coming soon, AND inside the NBA bubble!
Merry Christmas in July!!
Toy Soldiers During the Once Upon a Christmastime Parade
Even though we still have five months to go until the official holiday, Disney delivered a few of our presents early — including a sneak peek at the new holiday merch we can look forward to this year! We LOVE Disney Christmas merchandise, so we’re totally ready to start making our wishlist!
Well, here we are. All of the Disney World parks have reopened and we’ve been exploring the changes for over a week now.
Train Station
It certainly can be easy to want to settle back into “the parks are open” mode, but just because the parks are open doesn’t mean they’ll necessarily stay that way. Hong Kong Disneyland recently became the first park to RE-close due to the global health crisis…is it possible that Disney World could do the same?
Is there anything better than hanging out with your four-legged friend? We spotted these cool guys last week at Garden Grill Restaurant in EPCOT!
Mickey and Pluto!
And if you’re fan of man’s best friend, you’ve got to see this new Disney doggo accessory that’s made for humans!
We’re coming at you with another Disney recipe today! Satu’li Canteen is one of our favorite counter service locations in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Located in Pandora, this dining hot spot is home to those awesome rice bowls and crazy otherworldly desserts. Another popular item are those cute little cheeseburger pods!
Cheeseburger Pods
If you’ve never had these little pockets of deliciousness, they’re basically a steamed bun loaded with all the flavors of a cheeseburger. Sounds strange, tastes AWESOME. It’s one of our favorite foods in all of Animal Kingdom (AND it just reappeared on the menu as an option for adults after only being a kids’ option for a while!). Turns out you can make these yummy snacks at home. (We promise. If we can do it SO CAN YOU!) Follow our recipe below and you’ll be whipping them up in your kitchen in no time!
Best day ever!
Rapunzel
All Disney Cruise Line departures are currently suspended — but now you can enjoy fabulous shipboard entertainment from the comfort of your own home!
There have been a lot of eyes on Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort lately!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
The NBA will soon resume its 2019-2020 season in Disney World, and many NBA players are staying at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. We even caught a glimpse of their Disney bubble barbershop that was sticking up over the big blue privacy wall.
When the Disney World Resort hotels and theme parks began their phased reopening, we knew there would be some limitations as to what was available.
Ferryboat
And that included changes to Disney transportation. It was announced that the water taxi services would be limited, and would only be offered from select resorts to Magic Kingdom. Today, however, we noticed some activity that indicates the water taxis are slowly ramping up!
It was with heavy hearts we reported one of our favorite ice cream spots, Ample Hills Creamery, would no longer be operating at Disney World.
Ample Hills Display
The company filed for bankruptcy back in March and was purchased by new owners who’ve decided not to renew their contract with Disney.
We noticed something very interesting while driving around Disney World today!
Disney World
In the initial phase of reopening, Disney World made some changes to the transportation available around property. And while many forms of transportation have resumed, the Minnie Van service is still unavailable.
