Holiday Merchandise is Showing Up in Epcot!

We’ve spotted holiday merchandise all over the parks and Disney Springs in the last couple of weeks. Now, our stop in Epcot yielded even more holiday goodies! We spotted this jolliness in Mouse Gear, the America Pavilion store, and a Food and Wine Festival merchandise booth between the Japan and Morocco pavilions that has been converted to a holiday merchandise booth.

Happy Holidays Hat — with Lights!

Our holiday merchandise crawl (if you can have food crawls why not merchandise crawls!) started out in Mouse Gear in Future World where we found this Santa Hat that lights up to add to the festive feeling! [Read more…]

Review: It’s Time for BREAKFAST at The Plaza Restaurant in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom!

By AJ and the DFB Team 10 Comments

The Plaza Restaurant in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is a longtime favorite.

Learn About:The Plaza Restaurant

Magic Kingdom
Disney World Restaurants

Tucked at the end of Main Street, U.S.A., this small location (as compared to your usual table service restaurant) is completely packed with old-fashioned charm echoing Main Street’s turn-of-the-century feel.

The Plaza Restaurant is typically a spot for lunch and dinner, but this morning a new meal made its debut: breakfast! You can currently make an Advance Dining Reservation for breakfast from 7:45 – 10:30 AM. And, as of press time, The Plaza will be serving breakfast through March 2, 2019. (It is unknown at this time whether the meal will be extended beyond that date.)

So let’s start our Magic Kingdom day with breakfast at The Plaza Restaurant!

We can’t help but say that The Plaza Restaurant — filled with sunlight pouring in from the windows — is a perfectly charming space to begin the day! [Read more…]
