food IS a theme park
Happy Holidays from Disney World!
Grand Floridian Holiday decorations
Now that we’ve done the Thanksgiving thing at Disney World, we’re ushering in the holidays — we started with the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays, where we checked out some amazing food, some awesome entertainment, and got to watch the first Candlelight Processional since 2019! But we’ve also visited many of Disney World’s hotels to check out the latest there!
Hello, DFB Friends!
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
We’ve had a busy weekend full of news coming out of Destination 23 — we’ve learned even MORE about the Star Wars Hotel, we finally confirmed that Festival of Fantasy and Fantasmic! will return to Disney World soon, and we got even more details about MagicBand+. In the meantime, we’ve been checking out the hotels at Disney World, to see what’s new.
Hello, DFB Friends!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa
What a week, right? The holidays have officially arrived and we’ve been to TWO after hours parties — one at Disney World AND one at Disneyland. And we’re eating a ton of holiday snacks and enjoying the holiday vibes at the parks and the hotels. Speaking of Disney World’s hotels… .
Hello, DFB Readers!
The holiday treats have arrived!
As you may have seen, the holidays have landed at Disney World, and we are up to our ears in holiday decorations, merchandise, and snacks! But while we’re checking out all the new holiday offerings, we’re also keeping an eye on menus at Disney World restaurants because that’s what we do!
Over the last few weeks, we’ve watched as holiday decorations, treats, and merchandise have taken over the Disney parks, not that we’re complaining!
Wow!
And while not all of the resorts get decorations as epic as the annual Gingerbread House at the Grand Floridian, they still deserve love! We just spotted some holiday decorations at another resort, and they’re beautiful! [Read more…]
October was QUITE the month at Disney World. So much happened!

In the past month alone, THREE new restaurants opened (Steakhouse 71, Space 220, and La Crêperie de Paris), the 50th anniversary snacks arrived, AND we were still seeing some Halloween snacks getting introduced. So we’ve got quite a few menu updates to share with you from October.
One of the most wonderful things about going to Disney World is the food — yeah, we’re biased, but that’s what we do!
Time to Dig in!
And when folks in the know think food in Disney World, chances are their thoughts drift to EPCOT. It’s basically a magical, wonderful place for food from around the WORLD — you can have lunch in Italy, a drink in Mexico, a snack in France, and dinner in Germany! But did you know that you can eat around the world at other parts of Disney World without ever stepping foot into EPCOT?
It’s been A WEEK at Disney World, and we’ve been running around trying to put Disney Genie through its paces!

We want to make sure we have ALL the information you’ll need to use the service for your next Disney World trip, so be sure to read our posts on it! And in the meantime, we’ve also been visiting Disney World’s hotels to see what’s new with them.
Well, it’s been a busy week at Disney World, hasn’t it? The 50th Anniversary Celebration has officially kicked off!

And we’ve been busy running around trying every new snack we can find, WHILE also checking out some new restaurants and dining experiences. But we’re still tracking every menu update we can find, so let’s get on with what’s been going on this week!
We might be biased, but we would argue that Disney World hotels are some of our favorite hotels across the whole world! Not only do they offer a variety of themes and locations, but with the three categories — Value, Moderate, and Deluxe — they offer something to guests with a variety of budgets.
Can this view be beaten?
But there’s something else to consider when you’re booking that hotel room — what about the view? Now for some, the view isn’t that important, but if you’re like us and like to spend a little time at the hotel you’re staying at, you’ll want to book a hotel that has something nice to look at, right?
