food IS a theme park
Who’s ready to SMILE?!
Magic Kingdom
We’re rounding up some of our FAVORITE Disney World videos from the past week or so and we are sharing them with YOU (yes, you, the one reading this right now!) in the hopes that we make your day a little more magical!
We see a lot of interesting things on our visits to the Disney World parks!
Donald Duck Was Replaced By…A Plant?!
Just recently, we’ve seen animatronics replaced by plants in EPCOT and some rejected bird flirting in Animal Kingdom. We’re used to looking out for the weird and unexpected things in the park, but this morning at EPCOT, we were granted a different kind of surprise — a sweet and romantic one!
So this is love! Engaged or not, we hear wedding bells thanks to these 16 gorgeous Disney Princess-inspired dresses brought to us by Allure Bridals!
Allure Bridals – Disney Fairy Tale Weddings Collection
Allure Bridals first announced in February that they would be collaborating with Disney to create The Disney Fairy Tale Weddings Collection and Disney Fairy Tale Weddings Platinum Collection, and it is finally here!
“For it is plain as anyone can see. We’re simply meant to be.” – The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Just like Jack Skellington and Sally’s love, these new Bride and Groom shirts are a perfect match!
Love is in the air!
With wedding season in full swing, we are in love with these adorable couples’ shirts.
Hey, everybody! It’s time for another edition of What’s New at Downtown Disney and the Disneyland Resorts!
The Disneyland Hotel
Join us on a virtual visit to what’s been happening at the Disneyland Resorts and Downtown Disney entertainment district since our last visit!
“Reach out and find your haaaapily ever after!”
Magic Kingdom
Any couple who’s taken a Disneymoon knows the MUST HAVE items are the Bride and/or Groom Ears you can pick up at the parks! While the Groom Ears option has been fairly limited in the past, we were psyched to spot a new design while we were in Magic Kingdom today.
We know that when it comes to planning your wedding, there are a lot of big decisions to make — the venue, the dress, the food… But sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest impact.
James and Meghan at their Fairytale Wedding!
And we’re pretty sure that EVERY Disney bride needs THESE accessories at her wedding celebration!

Via Napoli
Greetings, Disney food lovers! As always, let’s start with the Disney Food News of the week:
In DFB news, I just finished a Food and Wine Festival project I was working on: To see information, menus, and photos of the individual Epcot Food and Wine Festival World Showcase booths (and even some photos of food items that will be on the menu for 2010!), click on any individual country name on our 2010 Epcot Food and Wine Festival Booth Menus and Photos page. For example, check out pics of what you can order this year in the Brazil booth!
We’re looking forward to reports from Via Napoli this week as well, so stay tuned. And a huge thanks to Amanda Tinney of Disney Every Day for getting the word out about the 2010 WDW Foodie Fest!
