food IS a theme park
Things are always changing in Disneyland — after all, that’s what Walt Disney wanted.
Downtown Disney
Rides close and new rides arrive. Entire lands get updated. New lands get added. Expansions are planned. Restaurants also close. That last bit might be the saddest part for us, by the way. We learned recently that a restaurant would close in Disneyland’s Downtown Disney dining and shopping district, but we’ve got some good news: the restaurant has delayed its closing date by a week.
The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD) has been experiencing quite a staff shakeup lately.
Reedy Creek Improvement District
Once the Reedy Creek Improvement District, the CFTOD was taken over by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who quickly appointed his own members to the board. Since then, we’ve seen a mass employee exodus in the district and more recently, some changes to those DeSantis-appointed board members. Now, yet another CFTOD board member is out.
If there’s one thing we love here at DFB, it’s a Disney World LOUNGE!
Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter
Lounges are like the hidden secret of Disney World dining — all the delicious eats of a sit-down restaurant with the laid-back atmosphere of a bar or quick service spot. They often have some of the best menu items across property, and you don’t need reservations to dine in them! Recently, one lounge changed up its menu, so you know I had to stop by to check out the new eats and bring you a full review.
We’re Disney Adults. Of COURSE we keep up with all the news surrounding our favorite Disney characters.
Donald and Daisy!
Yep, even the ones that live overseas! If you’re familiar with Tokyo DisneySea, then you’re probably also familiar with StellaLou. If you’re not familiar with StellaLou, she’s an adorable lavender rabbit who’s friends with Duffy — Mickey’s teddybear that travels the world with him. The two reside in Tokyo DisneySea, where StellaLou DREAMS of becoming a Broadway performer. Well, what if we told you that StellaLou’s dreams are one step closer to becoming a reality?
We love a great merch find, but we love it even more when it’s on SALE!

Southwest Airlines is a favorite when it comes to low fares and great service.
Let’s fly!
Well, the service is usually great. Southwest has taken quite a bit of heat recently — starting with the mass cancellations that ensued throughout the holiday season in 2022. With those cancellations in mind, we got a bit of a flash back over the past weekend when we were faced with LOTS of delays and cancellations when traveling with Southwest. Let’s talk about it!
Have you heard about Disney’s Pixar Fest?
Pixar Pier
It’s a special celebration celebrating ALL things Pixar, and it’s returning to Disneyland Resort SOON. The event will feature a new daytime parade in Disney California Adventure, plus the nighttime show “Together Forever — A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular” will return to Disneyland with NEW scenes. There will be fun new decorations, special food, and more. However, there will also be an exclusive NEW souvenir! Hint: it’s a popcorn bucket!
If you love all things Pixar, Disneyland, and Disney FOOD, you’re going to want to keep reading this post!

Earlier this year, Disney shared a few details on the returning Pixar Fest that would bring some new entertainment options to the Disneyland Resort. This has been a smaller event in the past, but now, we’re wondering if Disney is transforming it into a whole FESTIVAL. From April 26th through August 4th, you can get a glimpse of some fresh entertainment, character meet and greets, and of course… FOOD!
