food IS a theme park
Hello, DFB Friends!
Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort
We’ve had a busy weekend full of news coming out of Destination 23 — we’ve learned even MORE about the Star Wars Hotel, we finally confirmed that Festival of Fantasy and Fantasmic! will return to Disney World soon, and we got even more details about MagicBand+. In the meantime, we’ve been checking out the hotels at Disney World, to see what’s new.
What’s up, DFB friends? We’re here to go over all the Disney World hotel news!
Wilderness Lodge
There are a LOT of updates to go over for Disney World hotels, so let’s get right into it!
October was QUITE the month at Disney World. So much happened!
Lemon mousse from Space 220
In the past month alone, THREE new restaurants opened (Steakhouse 71, Space 220, and La Crêperie de Paris), the 50th anniversary snacks arrived, AND we were still seeing some Halloween snacks getting introduced. So we’ve got quite a few menu updates to share with you from October.
In case you’re not super familiar with Disney World, you should know that there are some rules you’ve got to follow in the parks.
Pioneer Hall at Disney’s Fort Wilderness
Some of these rules are official (like keep your hands and feet inside the ride), and others are unspoken rules that people just agree to follow (like don’t spoil the magic or block a kid’s view of the fireworks). But we recently saw some rules at Disney World that we’ve never seen inside the parks before. Check out these new rules to see how well you’re following them on your Disney vacations.
There are great Halloween-themed snacks, merchandise, and more that you can find inside the Disney World theme parks.
Time for Some Halloween Fun!
You can even go trick-or-treating during Disney World’s NEW After Hours BOO Bash event. But, what if you don’t have a park ticket or BOO Bash ticket? And what if you still want to go trick-or-treating with a special Disney twist? Well, select guests can do all of that at one special place. We’ll let you in on a little secret!
Have you ever celebrated Halloween in Disney World? Maybe you visited for Disney After Hours BOO Bash, or just took a look around at all the decorations and spooky foods.
Halloween Pumpkin Photo Pass
One of the best places to catch some Disney Halloween decorations is in an unexpected place you might not have visited, so take a look at this unique way to celebrate Halloween in Disney World!
Well, it’s been a busy week at Disney World, hasn’t it? The 50th Anniversary Celebration has officially kicked off!

And we’ve been busy running around trying every new snack we can find, WHILE also checking out some new restaurants and dining experiences. But we’re still tracking every menu update we can find, so let’s get on with what’s been going on this week!
Is it just us or was September the longest month ever?
Seasonal Pancakes — Pumpkin
Maybe it’s because we just couldn’t wait for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration to kick-off so that we could eat all the new foods in the parks. We also had a TON of restaurant menu changes, reopenings, and more!
Disney World has fully embraced their EARidescent theme for the 50th Anniversary celebrations.
P&J’s Southern Takeout
There are EARidescent Minnie ears, decorations, and treats all over the parks. But today we found a Disney World treat that isn’t covered in blue, purple, and gold. Come with us to check out this rare beauty at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campgrounds.
If you’re heading to Disney World soon for the 50th Anniversary Celebration, make sure you have room for food — somewhere in the neighborhood of 150+ new bites and sips. We aren’t kidding, there are over one hundred new food and drink items for fans to enjoy at the parks and resorts!
Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground
Today, we made our way to P&J’s Southern Takeout at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campgrounds to try a 50th Anniversary treat that takes a sweet twist on a classic dinner!
