food IS a theme park
If you’ve been here a while, you know that we’re big fans of McDonald’s at DFB!
McDonald’s
We’ve been to the McDonald’s on Disney World property countless times, and you’ll often find us at the fast food giant to try out their new and unique menu items. Of course, we love looking out for the new Happy Meal themes when they’re released…and now there’s a very special one coming to select locations!
Imagine a children’s movie where shame — not joy — drives the protagonist. Imagine a story where complicated, adult feelings take hold and don’t let go. Sounds kinda depressing, right? Well, in the early stages of production for Disney Pixar’s Inside Out 2, those deep, dark emotions were a real possibility. Yes, really!
Joy
Recently, the director of Inside Out 2, Kelsey Mann, and producer Mark Nielsen took to Instagram to share some behind-the-scenes secrets about the movie. In fact, we learned about THREE (!!!) potential emotions that didn’t make the cut, and we NEED to talk about them.
S-U-G-A-R, jump into your racing car!
Vanellope von Schweetz
If you are a fan of ‘Wreck-it Ralph,’ then of course you know Ralph’s best friend, Vanellope von Schweetz. Vanellope is a racer from the video game Sugar Rush, and to honor her racing royalty, we created a merchandise line inspired by her!
Alright churro lovers, it’s FINALLY our time!

This is your daily reminder not to take your favorite Disney World food and drinks for granted, as they could disappear at any moment!
BaseLine Tap House
Menu changes constantly happen at Disney World, forcing us to always expect the unexpected. Still, when we show up to our favorite restaurants, order what we usually get, and are told that item is no longer available, it’s hard not to feel a real and sudden sadness. That’s exactly what happened during a recent visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios where one of our favorite drinks is gone.
Hurricane Milton arrived in Florida last night ahead of Hurricane Warnings for the counties that Disney World resides in.
Signage at Disney World
Ahead of the hurricane, Disney World announced that it would close its theme parks and Disney Springs early yesterday, October 9th, and remain closed today, October 10th. Disney World visitors were instructed to shelter in place at their hotels, with Disney announcing that they would keep guests informed when it was safe to leave their hotels. Well, now, Disney has revealed that the parks and Disney Springs will reopen tomorrow, October 11th.
This week, we’ve been keeping a close eye on the path of Hurricane Milton.

The storm made landfall in Florida last night and many businesses and tourist destinations were closed in preparation for the bad weather. Among those locations that closed was Universal Orlando, but they’ve now released information about reopening.
When it comes to planning a trip to Disney World, you’ve got it down to a science, right?
EPCOT
You’ve got all the flight details sorted. You know which hotel you’re going to stay at. And you’ve already got your plan of attack for how you’ll tackle all the Disney World eats. Sounds like you’re all set, right? Well, if you’re planning on hitting up EPCOT during one of its many festivals, there’s this new problem and it’s one that we’ve never experienced until now. So let’s talk about it!
There’s nothing we love more than a fun Disney snack!
Disneyland
I mean, we are the Disney FOOD Blog after all, and over the years, we’ve tried thousands of snacks in the Disney parks. But sometimes, we just want to go back to the classics — the treats you find at snack carts on Main Street, U.S.A. or in bakery cases around the park. And when we found out that Disneyland Park was doing a new version of a classic treat, we just had to get our hands on it!
