food IS a theme park
Spotting characters in a reopened Disney World tends to be a fun surprise.
Mickey and Minnie
Between the character cavalcades and random character encounters in the park, waving to our favorite Disney pals is a pretty magical experience. Recently, we spotted some adorable new encounters with Donald and Chip & Dale, and now two more fa-MOUSE faces have popped up somewhere unexpected!

Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom
And, we’ve got plenty of food, merchandise, and construction updates to share with you. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s jump right on in!
At first glance, you might look at this photo of Disney’s beloved princesses in Magic Kingdom during a cavalcade and think…how are these princesses anything like me? I don’t have a cavalcade with adoring fans waving at me (except for in my mind when I pretend to be a Hollywood A-lister as I sing my heart out in the shower).
Remember to Keep 6 Feet Apart — Even When These Ladies Show Up!
But, Disney celebrities sometimes are just like us! Those princesses for example, typically travel on a giant float. But, on this day, they were roughing it and walking the cavalcade route. Maybe they were part of a FitBit challenge at work and had to get those steps in? Maybe they’re trying to keep their New Year’s resolution to get in shape and not eat any more poisonous apples. We’ve spotted quite a few characters all around Disney World doing things that have totally made us think, “OMG. That’s SO us!” You might just be surprised at how much Disney celebrities are just like you!
Are you planning a trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth or hoping to start planning your next trip soon?
Cinderella Castle
Well, you’re probably excited enough already at the thought of eating at your favorite restaurants, riding some of those classic rides, or just saying hello to the characters you love. Well, now you can get even MORE excited and get a glimpse at some of the things you can enjoy in Disney World right now with this NEW video!
When Disney World reopened last year, a LOT changed, especially with entertainment.
Dapper Dans
Some entertainment went away altogether, while other experiences were modified to account for health and safety guidelines.
We may not be able to watch parades come through Magic Kingdom at the moment, be we certainly have enjoyed seeing some of our favorite characters in the Character Cavalcades.
Magic Kingdom
At Magic Kingdom, you can see Aladdin and others in the Fantasyland Friends Cavalcade, Mickey and Minnie in the Mickey & Friends Cavalcade, and some classic and new Disney Princesses in the Royal Princess Processional. Typically, the Princesses come by on their own special float, but today something was MISSING!
Hello from Magic Kingdom, DFB friends!
Cinderella Castle
We have lots to show you: characters, new merchandise, and some crowd updates. So let’s get started!
We’re back at Disney World today!
Cinderella Castle
And we’ve been taking in all the sights, sounds, merchandise, and more! We took a ton of photos and videos to bring you along with us! So let’s go!
When Disney World reopened in July of 2020, there were some pretty MAJOR changes in place. These include mask mandates, physical distancing guidelines, the cancelation of fireworks, parades, and character meet and greets, and the temporary suspension of FastPass+ and the Disney Dining Plan, just to name a few (not to mention the parks reopened with a freshly-painted pink castle!).
Magic Kingdom
Since then, however, there have only been MORE big changes that could have major impacts on your upcoming Disney World vacation. Some of the guidelines that were in effect last summer are no longer the case in 2021 while others have changed since inception! Let’s take a look at some of the biggest changes in Disney World SINCE July 11th, 2020!
Hello from Magic Kingdom, DFB friends!
