food IS a theme park
We’ve been seeing slow changes back to “normal” in Disney World.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Lately, park capacity has been increased, social distancing has been reduced, and the outdoor mask requirement has changed. We’ve also seen smaller shifts, like the removal of hand-washing stations and the return of self-serve fountain drinks. And now, we’ve noticed another change.
Character interactions have been pretty different in Disney World since it reopened last summer.
Hey guys!
Although regular meet-and-greets are gone for the time being, we now have character cavalcades in each park, adorable distanced meet-and-greets, and different character dining experiences! And today, we saw a classic Disney character doing something different than usual — warning, it’s SUPER CUTE.
We get it, picking a restaurant to visit in Disney World is SO HARD. There are so many choices!! And as a first-timer, it can be suuuuper overwhelming.
Cinderella’s Royal Table
Don’t worry, DFB to the rescue! We put out a poll on Facebook asking which Disney World restaurant first-timers should ALWAYS try on their first visit. You, our readers, all had SO many good recommendations (we love the passion in our fellow Disney-lovers!). We went through each response and narrowed down the spots with the most shout-outs, and put them all in one easy list!Â
Wow — is it just us or did May just fly by? And it’s officially summer at Disney World — how did that even happen?
Watermelon Dole Whip IN a Watermelon
Of course, we’re ready for it (save for maybe the Florida heat and humidity), and we’re looking forward to all the great summer foods we’ll be eating over the next few months. May saw some pretty interesting snacks, though, including a secret menu Watermelon Dole Whipception snack, A Donut Burger, and Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls! And we also saw some menu updates at Disney World restaurants, so we’re going to get to those right now!
We’re taking a trip to Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
And as usual, we’re bringing you the latest in construction, merchandise, and more. So let’s get started!
Certain parts of Disney World remain closed as the resort operates at a limited capacity.
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
While some hotels and restaurants are reopening soon, others remain closed. Still others are closed temporarily for planned refurbishments! Of course, you’ll want to note about all of these changes if you’re planning on visiting, so we like to keep you updated. Now, we’re bringing you all the hotels and attractions that will be closed in Disney World in June 2021!
Today is Memorial Day, a national holiday in the U.S., which means quite a few people will be off from work and may have decided to take advantage of the holiday weekend to visit Disney World.
A Look at the Crowds
We’ve already shared a look at some Memorial Day treats available in Disney World, and now we’re bringing you all the details about one big thing you might be wondering about…the CROWDS!
It’s been a fun week at Disney World.
Watermelon Dole Whip
And as usual, we’ve been busy trying out all the fun snacks, including Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls, a gelato burger, and a groovy 70’s cocktail. But we’ve kept our eye on menu updates at restaurants, and although there aren’t many this week, these are some changes we think you’ll want to know about.
Running short on time in Disney World?
Magic Kingdom
It’s really hard to do everything in Disney. And sometimes, a tight schedule means you only have half a day to spend in a park! Now, each of the 4 parks has its own must-dos — and you could make an argument for spending a full day (or more!) in any of ’em. But how do YOU decide which park should be YOUR half-day?
Hello to all our DFB Friends!
