food IS a theme park
Our latest DFB bracket is quite the challenge as we have to decide between our favorite in-park Disney characters.
Magic Kingdom Character Cavalcade
While round one was a pretty big hit with some major surprises, we’re off to take a look at the results of round two!
This Mickey Waffle Sundae has a TWIST!
Mickey Ears Bowl!
A few weeks ago, we came across a new Mickey Waffle Sundae at BoardWalk Bakery. And since this treat includes one of our favorite hard-to-find snacks — a CHOCOLATE Mickey Waffle — we had to give it a try! Well, on our most recent visit to BoardWalk Bakery, we noticed something different about this sundae. So, once again, we decided to investigate!
We LOVE a cute pair of Minnie Ears!
Minnie Ears galore!
Apparently we aren’t the only ones with a Minnie Ears obsession! We’ve spotted a TON of adorable new designs in Disney World lately, like the Up Minnie Ears, Macaron Minnie Ears, and France Minnie Ears! And now, we can deck out our Christmas tree with one of our favorite Disney accessories!
Splash Mountain has been one of the most eventful spots in Disney World since Magic Kingdom re-opened.
Splash Mountain
We’ve seen long wait times at the ride (especially with merchandise), the news that Splash Mountain would become a The Princess and the Frog bayou ride, and even a log boat sinking just his week. BUT, people have still be super excited to head back on the ride during their “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah Day” back in Disney World. [Read more…]
Disney World Annual Passholders have a few more days to decide whether or not they’d like to cancel their passes.
2020 Annual Passholder Magnet
While the Disney World parks have now reopened, there are a number of new processes in place that make the park-going experience different than it was pre-closure — including the high-demand Disney Park Pass reservations which are required for entry. In light of the unprecedented situation, Disney World Annual Passholders have been given the option to cancel their Annual Passes.
All four Disney World theme parks have now welcomed back guests, but some parts of the Resort still remain closed!
Typhoon Lagoon
In the initial phase of reopening, some Disney World attractions and experiences will remain unavailable. So, if you’re headed to Disney World in the near future, prepare yourself for the lack of parades, fireworks, select attractions, restaurants — and water parks! Both Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon and Disney’s Blizzard Beach are still closed, and Disney has yet to announce a planned reopening date for either park.
It’s a whole new world of cleanliness and sanitation in Disney World and we’re still getting used to it!
Cast Members Cleaning
There are all sorts of health and safety policies for Cast Members and guests, and now that it’s been over a year and a half since Disney World reopened following the 2020 closure, we’re wondering how things have (or have not!) changed. We have to say, some things have definitely surprised us about the way that cleaning is handled for rides and attractions now. Find out how cleaning is done in 2022!
Although we’re familiar with using Disney’s Magical Express and the Minnie Van Service, it would be great to take a train straight from the airport to the Walt Disney World parks and resorts.
Disney’s Magical Express
While most of the Disney World transportation has started to reopen, the next form of transportation in the parks may not even be under the “Disney brand” at all.
Although we’ve given you a look at the sweet Baby Yoda Funko POP! and ALL the merchandise your Disney loving heart could want in Disney Springs, we’re making our way over to Main Street, U.S.A.!
The Emporium
While the Magic Kingdom is the spot for Dole Whips and back-to-back rides on Space Mountain, the Emporium is one of our favorite places in all of Disney World to shop for merchandise. While you can pick up Minnie ears, character plushes, and MagicBands galore, we can’t help but add a new shirt to our closet whenever we’re in the parks too!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney Springs!
