food IS a theme park
Well, the first month of 2023 is behind us already and we’re getting ready for Valentine’s Day (and Valentine’s Day treats!).
Sweetheart Sundae
This month, we finally got an opening date for Roundup Rodeo BBQ, as well as the full menu, and a few other details. But we also got some updates for Disney World’s existing restaurants — so here are how those menus changed in January.
Hello from Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Tower of Terror
It’s been quite the whirlwind of a week here at Disney World — the canopy has officially been lit on TRON Lightcycle / Run, showtimes for Happily Ever After were announced, and Disney’s 100th anniversary officially kicked off! And boy did we find tons of merch this week for the occasion. Come take a look at everything we saw in Hollywood Studios this week!
Disney World is changing all the time, and some of those changes mean that certain rides, attractions, and restaurants have to CLOSE for a while.
Splash Mountain is closed
Before you head out the door on your next Disney World trip, you’ll want to know what’s NOT going to be available while you’re there. Check out everything that’s going to be closed in Disney World next week here! [Read more…]
Okay, we know a LOT of our DFB readers LOVE their Crocs.
We know y’all love Crocs!
So we HAVE to tell you about any new pairs we find, right? That’s why we previously told you about NEW Disney World 50th anniversary Crocs, the 100th anniversary Crocs, and the Cinderella Crocs. Well, hold on, because we’ve got some new CROCS to tell you about!
2023 appears to be something of a year of closures at Disney World. On January 22nd Splash Mountain ferried its last guests, and we said goodbye to Magic Kingdom nighttime spectacular Disney Enchantment, which ended on April 2nd.Â
Restaurant Marrakesh
Not all of the closures are permanent, though. There are a fair amount of refurbishments happening across the resort as well. However, all of these changes aren’t limited to just attractions and shows.
Will you be in Disney World next week?
Animal Kingdom
If so, you’ll be arriving at a really good time. The weather won’t be too hot (although we can’t promise it won’t get a little chilly!). You don’t have to worry about marathon weekend crowds (because that’s over — for now). Plus you’ll be able to check out the EPCOT Festival of the Arts. But BEFORE you go, you will need to know about park hours and the park pass reservation availability.
Okay, so do you have a favorite Disney World show?
Frozen Sing-along Celebration in Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Maybe it’s The Festival of the Lion King in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Maybe you can’t help but watch the Dapper Dans in Magic Kingdom on every visit. Maybe your favorite show is the Frozen Sing-Along in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, which recently closed for refurbishment. Well, get ready to belt out “Let It Go” again because that show has officially reopened!
When it comes to snacks, Disney tends to be ahead of the game.
Hollywood Studios
New snacks are always showing up in the parks, and sometimes they’re unique but delicious twists on classic snacks and desserts that we all know and love! We found a snack today that falls directly into that category.
If you’ve ever ventured over to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge with an adventurous palette, you may have tried a polarizing snack from Kat Saka’s Kettle.
Kat Saka’s Kettle
Typically, Kat Sakas serves a fan favorite — popcorn — in outer space style, along the bustling Black Spire Outpost. But today, we noticed one of their unique offerings was missing!
Move aside, TRON. Journey of Water who? This restaurant opening should be the most anticipated Disney World debut of 2023!

Roundup Rodeo BBQ is a new table service buffet coming to Toy Story Land in Hollywood Studios this spring. Recently, Disney released the menu and we have some thoughts.
