food IS a theme park
Here at DFB, we’re HUGE Disney fans!
Chester and Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures
However, we’re not the biggest fans — that title goes to our friend over at Chester & Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Let’s meet them together!
It’s time to go over all the surprising and unexpected news from Disney World this week!
Magic Kingdom
From the shocking price of this Disney World hotel to the return of fan-favorite shows, there have been some surprising announcements this week!
It’s 50th Anniversary season in Disney World and that means a TON of new treats! With so many new snacks, it can be hard to figure out which ones are the best!
Magic Kingdom
To determine what the greatest 50th Anniversary snack is, we’re gathering votes from our readers (that’s you!) over on our Instagram page! We’re now in round three of the Disney World 50th Anniversary Treats & Eats Bracket 5000 (patent pending) and here are the results from the most recent votes!
We’re heading to Disney World’s wildest park today — Animal Kingdom!
Tree of Life
Restaurantosaurus is a quick-service spot located in DinoLand U.S.A. Here you can find crowd-pleasing dishes like foot-long hot dogs, chicken nuggets, 1/3 pound cheeseburgers, and Cobb Salad. Most of DinoLand is geared to younger kids, and the quick service food here matches that theme! We stopped by to see if the food was worth a visit, even if you’re an adult.
Disney World announced a new Annual Passholder program last month that had several changes from the old one.
Annual Passes in action!
One thing that changed was the number of park pass reservations that Annual Passholders could have at one time. Before, the limit was three, but now it’s between three and five reservations, depending on what level of pass you have. But you can sometimes have MORE than that, if you use the bonus park pass reservations that are available on certain days! Disney World just announced more bonus reservations for Annual Passholders — and the dates are coming up fast.
Disney has been cranking out snacks like CRAZY for the 50th Anniversary Celebration! From sweet new ice cream to crazy hot dogs, we’ve tried it ALL.
Tree of Life
But don’t worry, Magic Kingdom isn’t the only park with new snacks and treats! We found some colorful new popcorn in Disney’s Animal Kingdom today, and one of the flavors is pretty interesting… .
It’s finally here! The 50th Anniversary is today! From a new character cavalcade to nighttime entertainment to food to EVERYTHING ELSE, it’s been a busy day at Disney World.

Now, it’s time to see the debut of the Beacons of Magic, the new 50th Anniversary EARidescent makeovers for the park icons!
One of the most special features of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration takes place after the sun goes down. Across all four theme parks, a special nighttime transformation will take place as the park icons become “Beacons of Magic.”
Spaceship Earth is a Beacon of Magic for the 50th Anniversary!
We’ve already seen Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom and Spaceship Earth in EPCOT take on this new nighttime look, and now we’re in Disney’s Animal Kingdom to check out Tree of Life’s transformation!
We’re at Disney World checking out a bunch of the food for the 50th anniversary!
Flame Tree BBQ!
While there are SO many things to look forward to today like new shows, entertainment, fireworks, decor, and more, we’re excited about the food (shocking, we know)! There are over 150 new treats to celebrate 50 years of Disney World and 3 of them are located at one of our favorite quick service spots!
Welcome to Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration!
