food IS a theme park
Some of us are old enough to remember when Disney didn’t own Star Wars, but we have to admit it’s fun seeing Star Wars all over Disney World now, and we LOVE the attractions in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge!
Star Wars Resistance Clothing
Of course, there’s no shortage of Star Wars merch in the parks, too! And we just found a pair of lounge shorts that will bring the Force to the lower half of your body!
Toy Story has such a special place in our hearts, and we love seeing it on new merch at Disney World! We went nuts over the Toy Story Pizza Planet gear and LOVED the interactive TALKING Toy Story dolls we recently discovered!
Toy Story Mania
We also love riding Toy Story Mania in Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and then checking out the shop there at the end of the ride for MORE Toy Story stuff! We recently found some SUPER cute stuff there for kids!
We’re big fans of “man’s best friend,” here at DFB, especially if that friend is a Disney dog! From Pluto to Dug to Lady and the Tramp, Disney dogs are some of our favorite characters!
It’s Pluto!
That’s why we got really excited when we caught wind of the Dooney and Bourke Disney Dogs collection earlier this year. We seriously just can’t with ALL the Disney dogs included in this line. We spot favorites like Dug, Pluto, and more, but the obscure doggers get a spotlight too! Nana, Zero, Frankenweenie (!!), and even the Footstool from Beauty and the Beast are there!! Even Stitch made the cut (well, he WAS pretending to be a dog!).
You know what they say: the early bird catches the Ronto Wrap!
Hollywood Studios in October
At least, that’s what you’ll be saying now that a couple quick service restaurants at Disney’s Hollywood Studios have scaled back their hours.
Disney World is always changing, evolving, and growing — even more so lately due to the global health crisis. Although we’ve seen some of our favorite attractions and entertainment returning, some are going away forever.
The Disney Society Orchestra and Friends
Live entertainment has also changed throughout the Disney World resort, and we recently learned we’ll soon have to say goodbye to Disney’s Grand Floridian Society Orchestra.
The week of New Year’s Eve is generally a crowded week at Disney World. Despite the parks’ current capacity limits and limited entertainment options due to the global health crisis, that still could be the case this year.
Hollywood Studios Entrance
And now that we’re looking at park pass availability for the week of New Year’s Eve in 2020, and it looks like at least one park, Hollywood Studios, is going to fill up quickly.
Hello, DFB friends! We spent a lovely day walking around Hollywood Studios to see if we could spot anything new.
Hollywood Studios Entrance
Nothing but blue skies! So what did we notice since our last stroll around the park?
Disney really decided to throw us a mug-stravaganza yesterday!
Mary Poppins Mug
We were doin’ our thang, reporting around Disney World when we came across a bunch of new mugs scattered around the resort. We’re big fans of these designs. Can YOU find a new favorite?
Hollywood & Vine in Disney’s Hollywood Studios welcomed back guests last week!
Mickey at Hollywood and Vine!
We gave readers a brief overview of our experience after visiting the restaurant. We’re back to give you a detailed review and answer the most frequently asked question, “Is dining here worth it??” Since both restaurants reopened within days of each other, we found ourselves comparing our experience to Cinderella’s Royal Table character dining. You might be surprised to learn our verdict of which character dining came out on top. Hollywood & Vine is amping up the character dining experience and offering a vastly improved menu than they have in the past. Step inside Hollywood & Vine and see what we mean!
It feels like it’s been AGES since Disney World was anything close to “normal.”
Distancing Arrows at Magic Kingdom
Throughout the pandemic, the parks have either been closed entirely or operating with significant health and safety restrictions. But now that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced that the state is moving into a new phase of reopening, will things at Disney World look different?
