Gingerbread Display Seasonal Wine Slushie (!!) at Amorette's Patisserie in Disney Springs

Gingerbread Display Seasonal Wine Slushie (!!) at Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs

Over the past few weeks, you have probably gathered that one of our DFB holiday traditions is exploring all the Gingerbread Displays in Disney World Deluxe Resorts like the Beach Club Carousel and the Grand Floridian Gingerbread House. And we’ve already enjoyed some yuletide fun in Disney Springs at the Christmas Tree Trail. But now we’re able to combine a bit of both thanks to the Gingerbread Display at Amorette’s Patisserie!

This new display (seen through the front window to the right of the entrance) captures well known scenes and icons of Disney Springs, like the House of Blues water tower and the Planet Hollywood Observatory.

By AJ 5 Comments

You may recall the debut of the 2016 Haunted Mansion Hitchhiking Ghosts Tiki Mug at Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar, causing lines for daaaayz of guests hoping to grab the limited edition piece (and causing more of the same when it arrived at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto in Disney World shortly thereafter). Well, get ready to face those lines again, my friends… because the 1st Edition Holiday Elephant Tiki Mug will arrive at Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar in Disneyland Hotel on November 30th!

DFB Video: All the Mac and Cheese in Walt Disney World!

By AJ and the DFB Team 2 Comments

Happy Monday! We’re back this week with another DFB Video, and today we’re digging into one of my favorite dishes: Macaroni and Cheese!

Mac and Cheese at The Boathouse

Wait… did I say “one”? Scratch that. Because not only are we checking out several of our favorite versions of Disney Mac and Cheese… we’ll also tell you how you can get a list of EACH and EVERY Mac and Cheese in Disney World! Basically, if I see Mac and Cheese on any Disney World menu, I order it so I can let you know where you can find your ideal dish. Does Mac and Cheese topped with pulled pork, coleslaw, AND onion rings appeal to you? How about shrimp-topped mac and cheese? Or are you more of a purist? No matter what, you’re bound to find at least one version (and probably more) that you’ll need to try on your next Disney World trip!

Bring Disney Home for the Holidays!

By DFB Sarah Leave a Comment

We like to bring the magic of Disney home all year long, and when the Holidays roll around, the magic is multiplied! Luckily, our friends at Mickey Fix have got our backs with TONS of great ideas to enjoy Disney at home during this festive time.

How to Throw a Disney Christmas Party

So, you’re a Disney super-fan, and you want to share that love with all of your family and friends. We get you. It’s time to throw the best Disney Christmas party ever! First, you’ll need some Santa Mickey Lights.

Can we just leave these up all year, please? And to go with those cute lights, the perfect Disney Christmas Plate. These you can certainly use all year long. Or at the very least, you can use them for Christmas in July!

Review: The Sausage and Peppers Hoagie at Epcot’s Electric Umbrella Might Surprise You

By AJ Leave a Comment

It’s pretty well established that Epcot is an exemplary place to get a meal.

Whether you’re queuing up at Sunshine Seasons for fresh and tasty quick service, making an ADR at Via Napoli, or using up some table service credits at Le Cellier, there are lots of quality eats to be found.

But a poll of Epcot visitors would likely, pretty much never find a lot of love for the Electric Umbrella. This mainstay of Epcot has a decidedly retro vibe, with tons of neon and bright colors (which we think is awesome, but others…not so much).

But while the hate for Electric Umbrella is there for some, I don’t really get it. It’s pretty good — and I’ve had awesome experiences here more than I haven’t in the past few years. But you DO need to know what to order… .

Special Menus for ¡Viva Navidad! at Disney California Adventure

By AJ 2 Comments

While you’re checking out ALL THE FOOD around the Festive Foods Marketplace for Disneyland’s Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure, you might also want to be on the lookout for additional offerings around Paradise Pier!
