food IS a theme park
Welcome to Day 4 of our DFB 12 Days of Christmas! And to celebrate the festive season, I think it’s time for another fun giveaway!
We all love Disney, right? Otherwise, neither one of us would be here. 😉 And tops for the reasons that I love all things Disney is the incredible attention to detail in the Parks. So when I first spied the Salt and Pepper Shakers shaped like the trashcans in Magic Kingdom, I KNEW I had to have them! [Read more…]
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Everyone!
I don’t know about you, but I am nowhere near finished with my to-do list yet. There’s baking to enjoy, cards to address — and of course, gifts to buy!
If you’re in the same boat with me, check out this fun collection of great, “Disneyfied” gifts that I’ve gathered from the Disney Store and Amazon. There’s a little something for everyone on the list!
Who doesn’t love the spooky, morbid, tongue-in-cheek ghoulishness of the Haunted Mansion? If you have an HM fan to buy for, check out these fun finds.
She will be the belle of the cocktail party dressed up in the Haunted Mansion Hostess Apron. Extra points if she manages to scowl in sinister fashion throughout the gathering!

All over the World, it’s GINGERBREAD TIME!!! It’s a wonderful holiday tradition to feast your eyes on the larger-than-life Gingerbread Displays at several Deluxe Disney World Resorts before you feast your tummy on all the festive treats available during your visit!
Disney World Gingerbread House Tour
We’re going to take you on a visit to the major Gingerbread hot spots in Disney World, and we’ll start our Gingerbread tour at the Epcot area resorts…
My personal favorite is the Gingerbread Carousel found at the Beach Club. I always love to spot the new horses each year making their way on the Merry-Go-Round!

It’s Day 2 of celebrating the DFB 12 Days of Christmas! And since it’s Christmas we’re celebrating, we couldn’t let another day go by without giving one lucky reader something really special for the holidays!
I loved this Ceramic Dole Whip the first time I first laid eyes on it at the Marketplace Co-Op in Disney Springs! It’s the perfect little hiding place for special whatnots. And it’s also a fabulous way to remember your last trip. It might even inspire you to plan another one! [Read more…]
Let’s head back to one of our favorite ice cream spots in Disney California Adventure: Clarabelle’s Hand-Scooped Ice Cream!
Clarabelle’s
Named after Clarabelle Cow (you can learn a little more on the backstory of her name — and subsequently the shop’s name — here), this cute little spot is located on Buena Vista Street in DCA. [Read more…]

Please join us for dinner at the Grand Floridian Cafe!
The Grand Floridian Cafe doesn’t garner the headlines of the Grand Floridian Resort’s signature restaurants — Narcoossee’s and Citricos — or the AAA 5 Diamond experience, Victoria and Albert’s. And, of course, there is always the unique-to-the-Grand-Floridian experience of Afternoon Tea in the Garden View Tea Room. And though 1900 Park Fare, like the Grand Floridian Cafe, is also a 1-Credit Table Service restaurant on the Disney Dining Plan, it’s better known for being a character meal and buffet option.
The Grand Floridian Cafe offers guests an opportunity to spend some time at Disney World’s flagship resort at a more modest price point than its counterpart table service restaurants. But since it tends to get a bit overshadowed by the other options (even though we think it’s a hidden gem), we’re back for a visit to take a look around and explore the current dinner offerings at the Grand Floridian Cafe.
It’s quite a “grand” stroll through the entire lobby to find the Grand Floridian Cafe.

Head left at the back of the lobby, pass one of the merchandise shops, and its entrance is one of the last things you’ll see before your next step is outside. [Read more…]
Star Wars fans, rejoice! We are starting to see some major Star Wars additions at Disney’s Hollywood Studios for the new Season of the Force!
These additions weren’t expected to arrive until January 5 so it looks they got a head start — and just in time for the release of the new movie! New to Hollywood Studios is Launch Bay.

This spot is patrolled by Stormtroopers throughout the day. [Read more…]
Happy December! We can’t believe that we’re already one full week into the month – there is so much going on with holiday preparation and shopping and baking!
Yule Log
The Walt Disney World Resort theme parks are all decked out for the holidays — and so are the hotels! Don’t forget to make plans to visit the four gingerbread displays – at the Contemporary, Grand Floridian, Beach Club, and BoardWalk Inn! We’ll have a full photo review of all of them for you next week.
