food IS a theme park
Disneyland’s Downtown Disney has been HOPPING today, friends!
World of Disney Line
While it took us almost half an hour in a stand-by line to make it into the World of Disney, we’re here to take a look at all the Halloween goodies, Minnie Ears, and more that have popped up in the store!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
And, we’ve got plenty of merchandise updates to share with you, so let’s dive right on in!
It’s Food and Wine season over in EPCOT (and you know that means we’ve been wearing our stretchy pants for days).
France Pavilion
This year, there are SO many great booths, along with three ones that reopened just last weekend! But, one of our favorite places to stop by is definitely France thanks to the sweet pastries and amazing sips.

The world is grieving the loss of Boseman who was 43 when he passed on Friday. Disney honored the late actor with a special tribute on ABC featuring events and a showing of Black Panther. The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg also stepped forward with a statement on Twitter asking Disney for a new theme park land in honor of Boseman and his Black Panther legacy.
We’ve seen some BIG changes in Disney World since reopening that have greatly altered the parks as we once knew them.
Magic Kingdom
Since Disney World has been continuing forward with its health and safety initiatives, high-touch surfaces have been reduced in the parks and capacity has been limited. Mask requirements, temperature checks, and more are completely new, but there have been some big virtual changes as well.
The EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is all about the great snacks (melty cheese for days), but it’s also an excuse to try as many beer flights as possible in the park.
A Taste of EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
Since the Taste of EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, we’ve really been missing those flights since they haven’t been around at the booths. But, GOOD NEWS! We found the one place you’re actually able to get a beer flight during the festival (cue the Hallelujah chorus).
There’s been a LOT of construction around Disney World since the parks re-opened, from the constant updates of the EPCOT Transformation to the TRON Coaster coming to life!
Swan and Dolphin Resort
We’re seeing plenty of hotel projects move forward as well, like the new addition to the Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort, a Marriott property situated within walking distance to EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Disney World.
We’ve been keeping our eye on the construction ever since the news dropped back in 2018 that the 14-story tower was being added. Today, a few updates have been revealed about the new hotel structure, which recently added its top floor!!, including a new name and an opening timeframe!
We were heartbroken to hear of the passing of Chadwick Boseman after his courageous battle with colon cancer.

While many fans have loved him as Marvel’s Black Panther, Chadwick was truly a star both on and off the screen. Later tonight, ABC will be celebrating the legacy of Chadwick Boseman with a special presentation.
While Disney incorporates some AWESOME technological features into its parks, mishaps and glitches are bound to happen at some point or another.
The Cinderella Castle Moat is Full!
Recently, we’ve seen Rise of the Resistance shut down multiple times, a Splash Mountain log flume boat sink, and a few other problems around Disney World. But, today, it looks like the Disney World app — My Disney Experience — is having a few technical difficulties of its own!
While movie theaters have started to re-open, Disney+ has decided to release Mulan on its streaming platform for an additional $30 price tag.
Mulan Preview
Since the film’s theatrical debut was delayed indefinitely, the option to watch the movie with Premier Access has been a bit controversial. Fans have felt torn over their want to watch Mulan and the extra cost on top of their Disney+ subscription.
