food IS a theme park
Who’s ready for the holidays?
Now is the time to buy Christmas gifts!
Sorry, too soon? We know, it’s only October, but Disney has already started rolling out their holiday merchandise in the parks and online, and some of these items are almost sure to sell out. If you’re looking for a new Loungefly bag to celebrate the season this year, check out these 5 new bags Disney just released online!
EPCOT is known for being one of the best Disney World parks when it comes to dining.
Spaceship Earth
Unlike in Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios where it can sometimes feel like a challenge to find something that’s really tasty, EPCOT is full of great quick service and table service restaurants, not to mention the four different festivals that happen throughout the year. With so many great spots, some go underrated, and while part of us wanted to keep this gem to ourselves, we figured it was time to make it known just how much we LOVE this EPCOT spot!
A celebrity chef who is likely well-known to Disney World fans is hosting a Florida Hurricane Relief event soon.
Signage at Disney World
Florida has recently been hit by two hurricanes, Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, with parts of Florida experiencing lots of damage. While there are many ways to help with the hurricane relief efforts, you can party with a purpose with this celebrity chef to help!
Dining in Disney World isn’t cheap, and that’s why it’s important to budget for your meals before you head on your vacation.
La Hacienda de San Angel
However, there are cheaper meals than others — for example, you can choose to dine at a quick service location instead of booking a table service reservation, and you could choose to bring snacks with you/purchase them when you arrive (or get them delivered to your hotel room) to help cut down on costs. There’s one tip though that we’ve given a few times, and it really is a GAME CHANGER when eating in Disney World while trying to save some money but eat sufficient meals at the same time.
Hurricane Milton has made its way across Florida, and as a result, Disney World and Disney Springs has been closed since yesterday, October 9th, at 2PM and will remain closed until tomorrow, October 11th, when the parks will reopen.
Orlando International Airport
Orlando International Airport remained open, but it put a pause on any and all commercial flights, only staying open to allow emergency, medical, and relief flights into and out of the airport. However, the airport just made an important announcement on when it will reopen (which might be good news to some folks who ended up stranded in Orlando due to the hurricane).
We may be Disney ‘Food’ Blog, but man oh man do we love Disney merch collections!
Donald Duck Dooney & Bourke collection
And one of our faves comes from Dooney & Bourke, who never disappoint when they release something new. And their newest items are nothing less than total winners in our book (especially because they’ve brought back a classic)!
The Disneyland version of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure just took its biggest step towards opening!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Disneyland
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure has been open at Magic Kingdom since June but Disneyland’s version of this latest attraction isn’t lagging that far behind. Scheduled to open to the masses on November 15th, 2024, we’ve been eagerly waiting to hear when Disney will begin special early previews. Well, our questions have finally been answered and we finally know when Magic Key Previews for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Disneyland will take place!
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!
