food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at EPCOT Resorts!
Strawberry and Champagne Cupcake
And, we’ve got plenty of food and crowd updates from New Year’s Day to share with you. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
Disney World Resorts are stunningly designed, excellently themed, and some of them have pretty luxurious accommodations.
Grand Floridian Lobby
We’ve got a lot of advice to share for those choosing where to stay in Disney World. But what if you want to stay somewhere a little EXTRA? Disney has you covered! Today we’re sharing our choices for the most ridiculously awesome hotel rooms in Disney World.Â
It goes without saying that when it comes to Disney World hotels, not every resort is gonna be everyone’s cup of tea. Yes, all Disney World resorts are magical in their own ways, but sometimes the vibe might feel off to you?
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
We asked our readers which Disney World hotels you thought were overrated or underrated, and the results were FASCINATING, so we decided to dig a little deeper and see what y’all thought about which resorts you’d NEVER stay in again!Â
Disney World continues to open up restaurants throughout the theme parks and resorts.
Territory Lounge Holiday Drinks
Territory Lounge at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge opened up earlier this month when the weather was too cold for Geyser Point (the outdoor lounge and pool bar) to operate. While we did enjoy that little surprise, we can confirm that Territory Lounge will be open through New Year’s!
This time of year, gingerbread is a near-daily occurrence for us, and a CONSTANT craving!Â
BoardWalk Bakery
Fortunately, Disney World understands our spicy yearnings, and delivers with a veritable parade of endless gingerbread sweets. While we’ve certainly tried MANY gingerbread treats already, this latest arrival at BoardWalk Bakery earns bonus points by garnishing a cupcake with a cookie!Â
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Tree of Life
And, we’ve got plenty of food, merchandise, entertainment, and transportation updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Old Key West Resort!
Olivia’s Cafe
And, we’ve got plenty of food, merchandise, and entertainment updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
When Disney World reopened, many of its restaurants remained closed.
Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
And while some are still closed, several fan-favorites, like Woody’s Lunch Box, have reopened. Earlier this week, we saw that another dining location at Disney World would reopen soon, and today it has officially reopened!
Even though we don’t have traditional character meet-and-greets and meals right now, Disney has been very creative when implementing ways for us to interact with our Disney friends!
Pluto!!
Just this morning, characters returned to Chef Mickey’s at the Contemporary (in socially-distanced fashion), and we’ve seen several fun cavalcades and distanced meet-and-greets in the parks. We speculated a few weeks ago whether or not characters might come around to visit the Disney World Resorts again, and then we spotted some friends over at Disney’s Grand Floridian last week! Today, we saw a few characters again, this time at Disney’s Riviera Resort! And they showed up in a cool ride!Â
We’ve been anxiously awaiting reopening announcements for several Disney resorts for months now!
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Some of Disney’s resorts have opened fully, like the Grand Floridian, while others are still only partially opened with the DVC sections operating. On top of that, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is currently under construction — undergoing a massive refurbishment to be completed next summer. We previously received an opening date for Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort, but now it seems as though that date has been pushed back!
