food IS a theme park
Maybe it’s because 2020 is the Year of the Rat or maybe it’s because the Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure attraction opens next year at Disney World, but the world has become obsessed with Ratatouille recently!
Remy’s Ratatoutille Adventure Sign
It all started with a few videos on TikTok about a Ratatouille musical. Then there were more videos. Then Disney Parks posted its own video with Zombies actor Milo Manheim rapping about Remy and his adventures.
Disney often partners with organizations that provide services for critically ill children. This year, the company is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its partnership with Make-A-Wish.

When it was announced that 28,000 Disney Cast Members were going to be laid off, the Disney community stepped up in a big way.

There were food drives and monetary donations, some people offered support with resumes and interviews, many people made comprehensive lists of small businesses owned by former Cast Members. Here at DFB, we compiled a great list of resources for Cast Members who lost their jobs and options for those who would like to help. Now, there’s a new way you can help — by buying a Christmas album!
We cannot wait to eat ALL the delicious cookies from Gideon’s Bakehouse when they open their location in Disney Springs soon!

But, until then, we’ve been enjoying grabbing TONS of cookies from their current location at the East End Market in Orlando. If you were looking for a great excuse to visit and stuff your face with cookies, we’ve got just the thing. In a few days, Gideon’s will be hosting a special event and releasing a super special cookie all for charity!
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party might be canceled this year, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be plenty of fun things to do on Halloween, even if you’re stuck at home!
Jack’s Nightmare Cavalcade
If you’re in the parks on Halloween, you’ll be treated to Halloween cavalcades, which include characters from The Nightmare Before Christmas, but on Halloween night, you can attend a virtual Nightmare Before Christmas concert in your costume (or pajamas — your choice!).
If you’re a Disney buff, you’ve probably heard of Joe Rohde, best known as the mind behind Disney World’s Animal Kingdom.

This Imagineer is constantly delighting us with fun content in and out of the parks. Recently he’s launched a video series about Animal Kingdom AND he helped to design some pretty neat ears earlier this year. Now, it’s Joe Rohde’s birthday and he’s asking for YOUR help — to save the chimpanzees.Â
Disney theme parks around the world have been temporarily closed due to the current health situation. These closures not only affected Disney Parks, but many organizations, communities, and people everywhere. Due to this, Disney VoluntEARS (volunteer teams made up of Cast Members) have once again joined forces to give back to the community during these unprecedented times.
