food IS a theme park
There’s new merchandise being released in the Disney World parks nearly every week.
So many hats!
We just spotted new Loungefly bags, Moana ears, and 100th Anniversary merchandise in just the past few days! We do our best to keep up with all the latest merchandise news, which is why you’ve GOT to see this strange hat we found!
Sometimes Disney World snacks don’t stay the same.
Oga’s Cantina
We’ve started to notice that 50th Anniversary snacks are disappearing from the park and a popular character meal has also undergone some changes recently. But if you wanna see the biggest snack difference we’ve seen so far this year, come with us to Oga’s Cantina!
As you’re planning your upcoming Disney World vacation, you may want to consider what could go WRONG during the trip. Maybe it’ll start to thunderstorm while you’re in Magic Kingdom (click here to find out what you’ll need to survive that scenario). Maybe your kiddo will decide to have a tantrum in the middle of the park (we’ve been there — find some tips here!). Or maybe your favorite ride will be CLOSED.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
Disney will occasionally close rides and attractions in the parks for routine refurbishments, and those closures can last a few months at least. To be prepared for your upcoming vacation, check out everything that’s going to be closed in Disney World next week here!
It’s been a couple years since Encanto took the world by storm, but it’s still SUPER popular.
”Encanto’ topiary at EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival
There are talks of bringing an Encanto attraction to Disney Parks. We’ve seen a LOT of Encanto-inspired food (and we’re not mad about it!). There are Encanto topiaries at this year’s EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival. We also recently got the news that Mirabel would be meeting guests in Disney World soon in her very own Encanto-themed location. Now, we’ve found what could be a MUST-HAVE for fans of the movie!
Things are pretty busy in Disney World right now. Spring Break crowds are here and a new ride AND a new restaurant have opened.
TRON Lightcycle / Run is open!
This means that we expect things to stay that way for a while, and when we look at park pass reservation availability for next week, we’re already starting to see a few days beginning to fill up, especially in Magic Kingdom. So let’s take a look at next week’s park hours and availability.
Minnie ears — there are DOZENS of them. You might very well have a couple pairs in your home or lining your walls, but will you be tempted to buy one more?
EARS!
Disney is constantly releasing new ears including ones for the Disney100 celebration and strange ears too. But now a new set of Minnie ears have finally made its way to Disney World and we’ve got all the details you need to know right here.
We’re nearing the end of the 50th Anniversary celebrations in Disney World and it has been a wild ride!
It’s Disney World’s 50th Anniversary!
From the chaos of October 1st, 2021 until now, we’ve seen countless entertainment offerings, merchandise collections, park decorations, and snacks, all dedicated to celebrating this momentous occasion. But now, we’re starting to see those celebrations disappear!
Roundup Rodeo BBQ has officially opened, y’all!
It’s open!
It feels like we have been waiting forever for this new restaurant to open — and now that it is, we HAD to check it out. This rootin’ tootin’ dining location in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is full of fun decor, family-style BBQ fare, and about as much theming as we could hope for — but what are our honest thoughts about it as a whole? Could this be the best new restaurant in Disney World, or did it not live up to the hype? Well, it’s complicated — let’s take a look!
We came, we saw, we ate … and then we came back to eat some more!
It’s open!
We’re nothing if not thorough here at DFB, and you know we couldn’t just review the newest table-service restaurant to open up in Disney World once! That’s right, we’re BACK at Roundup Rodeo BBQ on its official opening day, checking out all the eats, treats, and everything there is to see at this rootin’, tootin’ spot. So come with us to dig into some barbecue at Roundup Rodeo BBQ!
The new Roundup Rodeo BBQ restaurant is finally open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and we’re bringing you all the details about this new restaurant.
It’s open!
While we are sharing some photos from the opening and saw what the crowds have looked like today, we wanted to tell you about a few details you’ll want to keep your eyes (and ears) out for if you dine here!
