food IS a theme park
Disney World is a POWERHOUSE when it comes to cranking out new merchandise and treats! Just when you think you’ve seen it all, Disney proves you wrong. We’re not complaining, though! From the tiniest little additions to the BIG construction updates, it’s always fun to see what’s new in the Magic Kingdom.
2022 is FLYING by!
We’re in Disney World pretty much ALL the time, so we figured we’d share a little update on what’s new! Let’s take a look at what we found in the Magic Kingdom this week!Â
Disney World is all chicken tenders, fries, burgers, churros, and ice cream sandwiches, right? WRONG. VERY, VERY WRONG.
🎶 Out of the sun, we’ll be havin’ some fun…🎶 you know the rest
Sure, we love ourselves a good funnel cake or giant Mickey waffle, but if you’re looking for a more elevated dining experience (we’re talking Pork Belly, Seafood Pearl Pasta, and more!) then we’ve found just the place for you. It can fall under the radar for most folks though. Have you stopped by to eat at this somewhat hidden BoardWalk spot? Should you make it a must-do on your next trip? We’ve got THOUGHTS.
Disney World has SO many snacks, it can be hard to know what to order! Sometimes, you might see something on the menu and think it looks delicious, only to be let down. Unfortunately, today was one of those days when we did not enjoy our meal today in the Magic Kingdom. What can we say…we were drawn in by the enticing menu photo and tricky 50th Anniversary branding! We’ve all been there.
Happy 50th Anniversary! (several months later)
Disney released a TON of new snacks and desserts for the 50th Anniversary. Some were adorable and delicious; others were not. We’re here to issue a warning to those of you looking for a quick lunch or mid-afternoon snack: don’t make the same mistake we did!Â
Disney World has a tendency to be VERY unpredictable! Just when you get used to a certain way of doing things, Disney will completely change the system and flip everything on its head. (*cough MAGICAL EXPRESS* *cough FASTPASS*) Despite the rollercoaster of emotions Disney manages to take us on, we keep coming back for more; Disney may be unpredictable, but it’s still FUN!
Helllllooo Hollywood!
Speaking of random changes, we noticed a certain day in April might look a little different in Disney World. Let’s investigate!
This February, there’s a powerful event you can celebrate in Disney World and Disneyland, and no, we’re not talking about Valentine’s Day.
Soul Art Displays | 2021
In honor of Black History Month, Disney is bringing back its Celebrate Soulfully event, and this time the event will span both coasts! If you’re planning a trip to Disney and are looking for some meaningful, entertaining, and maybe even educational things to do, come with us and Celebrate Soulfully!
Move over, Disney World, the West Coast has some snacks we need to talk about! Over at Disney California Adventure park, you can now enjoy the Lunar New Year Festival, which is FULL of exclusive treats!
Disney California Adventure!
We’ve also tried some other delicious snacks all around Disneyland Resort, including cookie butter beignets, specialty churros, and MORE! But there’s still some room in our bellies for more food! Recently, we visited Disney California Adventure’s Cappuccino Cart to try a new dessert!
There are SO many possibilities when it comes to Disney World food!
Mickey Pretzels
There are quick service options, sit-down restaurants, and, of course, tons of snacks to keep you going throughout your Disney trip. If it wasn’t already obvious, we take Disney food pretty seriously around here, and we’re dedicated to making sure you know all of the latest Disney food news as soon as it happens. So today, we’re over at Disney’s Yacht Club to see the return of a popular dining service!
Every EPCOT festival has its own unique theme — whether you prefer the art and music of the Festival of the Arts or the savory snacks of the Food and Wine Festival, there’s something for everyone! Currently, Disney World is in the middle of the first EPCOT festival of the year: Festival of the Arts! Of course, we love the Insta-worthy foods and ultra-hard-to-get merchandise, but we have to take a minute to appreciate all the TALENT present during this festival!Â
This is one of our FAVORITE festivals!
This one goes out to all the artists, musicians, and performers that dazzle us with their talent during the Festival of the Arts — you guys ROCK! During our recent visit to EPCOT, we got to see an INCREDIBLE new work of art in progress that you have to see!Â
The cold may not bother Queen Elsa, but it DEFINITELY bothers us! Hey Elsa, can you take these freezing cold temperatures back to Arendelle and out of Florida, please? We miss the sunny, tropical Florida we know and love!
We’re FROZEN!
Admittedly, it is winter time, so we always expect the temperatures to cool down in January and February, but now it seems Florida is setting records with this cold weather, and we just can’t let it go!
At DFB, we LOVE Disney World’s plastic cheese. You know, that golden, plastic-looking cheese that comes with Mickey pretzels and corn dog nuggets. It’s the kind of cheese that isn’t necessarily the world’s finest cheese, but it does exactly what it needs to do. What can we say — it’s a classic! And while you won’t find us disparaging plastic cheese very often, we do feel obligated to inform you that there is a HUGE difference between plastic cheese and beer cheese.Â
Plastic Cheese is a favorite of ours!
Ok, so what’s with all the cheese talk? Well, the latest victim of Disney’s supply issues seems to be cheese. Let’s investigate what’s going on!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
