food IS a theme park
Hello, DFB Friends! A LOT is going on with Disney World restaurants right now!
Raglan Road
And while we’re busy indulging in all the Flavors of Florida food, we’re also checking out the latest snacks at the parks, and getting excited about the upcoming EPCOT Food and Wine Festival (and the CHHHEEESSE crawl). But we’re also keeping up with all the menu changes at Disney World restaurants!
Change is something that has become synonymous with Disney World over the years and more particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic. The changes with FastPasses+, entertainment, and extra magic hours had some people wondering if a trip to Disney World was even worth it anymore.
Mornings can be busy in Magic Kingdom!
Speaking of Extra Magic Hours, in 2021, Disney World replaced the hotel perk with Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours. If you are unfamiliar with Extra Magic Hours, they were first implemented to allow guests staying at a Disney Hotel to either gain early access or stay later in the theme parks. The idea is still the same, but a bit simpler with Early Theme Park Entry allowing guests to enter any of the parks 30 minutes early every day to get a head start. But, which hotels have access to this benefit? Well, we have a FULL LIST for you! [Read more…]
LOTS of changes are being made all over Disney World.
The Wave
At Disney’s Contemporary Resort, there’s been a lot of construction going on, and more is set to take place in the future. Guest rooms at the Contemporary are receiving a new Incredibles theme, front desk services and more will be moving as changes take place in the lobby, and The Wave…of American Flavors will be closing soon. But, if you’re a fan of some of the signature breakfast dishes at The Wave, you’ll soon have another place to visit to grab them!
Hello from Disney World! WHAT a month, right?
Casey’s Corner has reopened!!!
We’ve been trying to keep up with all the latest 50th-anniversary news, while also tracking all the fun snacks that keep popping up all over the parks, resorts, and at Disney Springs. And last month saw some exciting restaurant reopening news and menus, as well as saw the return of some favorite snacks!
Disney World is gearing up for its big 50th anniversary celebrations and there are a TON of new things to look forward to!

There is a new fireworks show and projections coming to Magic Kingdom, a new daytime show coming to Animal Kingdom, the debut of Harmonious in EPCOT, golden character statues will be going up around the parks, and we’re FINALLY getting the opening of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure! Disney recently announced that they will be offering extended evening theme park hours for select guests for the big anniversary, and we’re here to tell you which guests will get the new perk!
There is SO much construction going on at Disney World that it’s hard to keep track of it all!
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is getting a major overhaul (and Moana-inspired rooms), and Disney’s Contemporary Resort is getting an Incredibles-themed update, along with a reimagining of one of its restaurants, The Wave…of American Flavors.
We’re not going to lie — we are OBSESSED with Minnie Ears ’round these parts.
So many ears…
And Disney knows we’re not the only ones — because why else would they release SO MANY? And ears come in so many different varieties that it’s easy to find a pair to represent everything we love about Disney! But did you know you could also match your ears to your Disney World resort?
Hello to all our DFB friends!
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
We’ve been hitting up the Disney World resorts to see what’s new, and we’ve got a few updates for you. So let’s get to it!
It is almost Father’s Day, and we’re at Disney World sampling all the Father’s Day treats!
Contempo Cafe
So far, we’ve seen a Darth Vader Father’s Day Cake, and a Blondie that had a questionable-looking chocolate cigar on it (seriously, look at the photos!).
It’s interesting how we can spot trends at Disney World resorts, especially when it comes to new merchandise.
Do You Like Corkcicles?
We were there when Disney started pushing Wishables and nuiMOs. And don’t even get us started on Collectible Keys or the Stitch Crashes Disney collection! Or there’s the Minnie Mouse The Main Attraction collection that came before that. Sometimes it’s just a color trend (remember how nuts we all got over rose gold?). [Read more…]
