food IS a theme park
Disney is celebrating Mother’s Day this week, and just like any other holiday, they’re going all out — especially when it comes to food! We love to try specialty food items, and have recently eaten a Millennium Falcon Sundae for Star Wars Day, a strawberry dressed up as a carrot for Easter, and even a St. Patrick’s Day whoopie pie!

Now, we’re heading over to Disney’s Art of Animation Resort to try a limited time Mother’s Day treat!
We spend so much time at Disney World theme parks that we forget how much fun the hotels can be!
Disney’s Pop Century Resort
But take it from us, Disney World hotels are a LOT of fun. Each hotel has its own theme, activities, and vibe. Each also has its own food and merchandise. That’s why we visit the hotels a lot — to see what kind of new things we can find. You know what that means — it’s time for a Disney Worlds hotels update!
Do you know who the true hero of Valentine’s Day is?
Valentine’s Day Treats
Some people will probably say it’s love. And we’re not trying to say that love ISN’T an important part of this holiday…but we have a different hero in mind. We’re thinking about chocolate! Chocolate is always there for us, and it makes us SO happy. With this in mind, we’re very excited to let you know that one of our favorite, limited-time chocolatey treats is now BACK in Disney World! [Read more…]

It’s hard to believe the holiday season is almost over, and 2022 is right around the corner. We’re looking forward to seeing some fun New Year’s treats, as well as welcoming a New Year at Disney World. But that doesn’t mean we’ve stopped monitoring menu changes at Disney World restaurants, so here’s what’s changed this week.
Hello, DFB Friends!
Grand Floridian
Well, as you can tell, we’ve been pretty busy covering everything about Disney World’s MASSIVE 50th Anniversary Celebration, and, yes, we ate SO many blue cupcakes! But we also managed to get over to some of Disney World’s hotels to see if anything new was going on with them, so on with the updates!
Earlier this week, we brought you a very thorough review of the Art of Animation Resort Food Court, Landscape of Flavors.
Today, it’s time to check out the kitchenettes and room service menu at this brand new Walt Disney World hotel!
Three quarters of the rooms at the new Art of Animation resort at Walt Disney World are “family suites.” These rooms sleep six, and have two bathrooms and a “kitchenette.” Your big question now is, “What’s a kitchenette?” Here’s your answer.
The kitchenette is cabinet on top of a small tiled area, which includes a dorm sized refrigerator, coffee maker, bar sink, and a microwave oven.

We got a peek at the Art of Animation food court this weekend! It’s lovely, and I can’t wait to actually eat there!
Art Of Animation Entrance
The food court is broken into several seating areas or “dining rooms” representing sections of the resort — Lion King, Cars, Finding Nemo, and Little Mermaid.
Each dining room has concept art drawings and themes from the films decorating the walls and ceiling.
Lion King Dining Room
And each dining area has a light fixture themed to the film as well. In the Lion King room, you’ll see a giant tree growing around the [Read more…]
