food IS a theme park
Snacking our way through Disney World has practically become a pastime (and our favorite hobby).
Spaceship Earth
And, we’re calling all Disney foodies because there’s a new line of merchandise inspired by Disney snacks!
Nighttime spectaculars are still more or less on pause in Disney World right now, with a few minor exceptions like projections and light pyro on Cinderella Castle, Tower of Terror, and the Tree of Life.

Fireworks are a BIG piece of a classic Disney vacation, so we’re waiting patiently for them to return. Luckily, Disney has continued work on EPCOT’s upcoming nighttime show, Harmonious, and now we’ve got an UPDATE from above!
Without question, the holidays are baking season! Don’t get us wrong, we’re ALWAYS happy to cook up a batch of choco chips or shortbread ANY time of the year, but there’s something so perfect about baking sweet treats with loved ones this time of year!
Minnie Peppermint Cookie
If you’re REALLY looking to sweeten up your sweets this year, Disney is sharing recipes for 10 of its most beloved and most unique cookies from the theme parks, so that you can recreate the magic at home! From whimsical riffs on classics, like Gingerbread Cookies, to more elaborate confections, like Belle’s Enchanted Christmas Tree, there’s a cookie recipe here for everyone!
Disneyland might not be open yet (and we miss it dearly), but Downtown Disney has still been one of our favorite date night or family getaway spots recently. As restaurants have continued to open in the shopping and dining district, table-service locations have been modifying their experiences with limited capacity, seating, and menus. BUT, they’re just as great as we remember them to be!
Downtown Disney District
Downtown Disney dining has been exclusively offering outdoor seating for guests to relax and enjoy their meals in the nice California weather. For a while, select restaurants started to reintroduce indoor dining again (with limited capacity) once California law permitted it, but they’ve since been pushed back to only outdoor dining, as the county Disneyland resides in has moved to the strictest tier of the state’s Coronavirus protocols.

It’s been a dream come true to step back into a Disneyland Park, even if Buena Vista Street is only open as an extension of Downtown Disney.
Storytellers Statue
While we have had some pretty iconic food (and not-so-great eats), we’ve also been doing our holiday shopping back in Downtown Disney recently! We may have just found the dreamiest pin set a Disney fan will ever see over at Pin Traders. 😍
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Skyliner Resorts!
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
And, we’ve got plenty of merchandise, food, and entertainment updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
Num Num Cookies are just SO good, we crave them all the time (and don’t even feel guilty about it one bit). It’s pretty hard to resist that chocolate-y and butter-y goodness when you’re actually in the parks, but we also miss them dearly whenever we’re not in Disney too.
Num Num Cookies!!
But, we’re about to make your baking game a whole lot stronger since you can make Num Num Cookies right from your own kitchen. Hooked already? We knew you’d be. 😉
Happy holidays, DFB friends! While we’ve been taking you around us to see what Disney World looks like for Christmas, we’ve also given you a peek at the crowds we’ve seen recently.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Currently, Disney World is keeping its capacity at 35%, Disney Park. With this capacity limit, we have seen park passes fill up and be restocked.
Black Friday has wrapped up, and Cyber Monday has already begun! Buuut, you can also save big on some AWESOME DFB merchandise with our 12 Days of Deals event!
Cinderella Castle Christmas
As November wraps up, we’ve been bringing you a sale each day for the last days of November. And, we’re nearing the end of the event, so grab your discounted merch now!
It’s a VERY busy day in Disney World today as the holiday weekend continues and EPCOT’s Festival of the holidays begins!
2020 Taste of EPCOT Festival of the Holidays
But, while we’re up to our eyeballs in holly and jolly over in EPCOT, we’re taking a break from the festival to head over to one of our favorite spots at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
