food IS a theme park
Be sure to check out our list of restaurants in the Magic Kingdom.
Super Bowl Sunday has come and gone, but we’re still SUPER psyched about the Kansas City Chiefs BIG WIN!
Super Bowl Celebration
And, while every star football player wants to go to Disney World after the big win (duh!), we knew Patrick Mahomes would be doing the honors when we famously exclaimed, “I’m going to Disney World!” after being declared the Super Bowl’s MVP!
You may have caught on to the fact that we here at DFB are pretty obsessed with the Kakamora Float. Inspired by the little coconut gremlins from Moana, this fruity creation first showed up at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and then became available throughout the day at Magic Kingdom’s Aloha Isle after the celebration ended.

Now, Disney has made it even easier to get your hands on this delicious island beverage with just the press of a button!
There’s a lot happening at the Magic Kingdom right now to get it in tip-top shape for Disney World’s 50th anniversary in 2021 including the new TRON: Lightcycle Run attraction, which is set to open the year of the big celebration. Gosh, we can hardly wait!
Cinderella Castle
Before then though, there is still some pixie dust to sprinkle on some beloved attractions. If you were planning on taking a trip on the runaway rails of Big Thunder this spring, we have some news for ya. When attraction times went missing back in December, we suspected that the attraction would be going down for a refurbishment, and today we were able to confirm those suspicions.
Remember in 2006 for the “Year of a Million Dreams” celebration when Disney World created the Cinderella Castle Dream Suite and granted very lucky guests a chance to spend the night IN the castle IN the Magic Kingdom?

This lavish suite fit for a prince or princess has been on our bucket lists since we first laid eyes on it, but since you can’t book a night there regularly, it’s incredibly hard to get into. Last year, Disney offered up a stay in the sought-after room to benefit the V Foundation for Cancer Research. Now, the suite is going up for auction again for another good cause.
Dessert parties and fireworks in Magic Kingdom? Yeah, we’re ALL over that.

And, now the grown-ups can enjoy their visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth even more with the newest boozy addition to the park (yes, pls).
It’s the 70th anniversary of Cinderella (and we STILL love Cindy just as much)!

And, while we got nothin’ wrong with the Disney Princesses, the newest treat in Disney World is kind of weirding us out a little… .
Cue the sad slide whistle sound effect! The Big Top in Magic Kingdom’s Storybook Circus has closed… AGAIN!
Big Top Closed (Again)
As you may recall, it wasn’t that long ago that The Big Top experienced an unexpected and sudden closure.
Everywhere you look left, everywhere you look right, there’s ANOTHER amazing Disney treat that’s a must-have in the parks!
Disney Foodie Magnets
And, while we’ve been living for the Disney Foodie magnets and keychains in Disney World, there’s another piece of merchandise we totally want to add to our collection!
With the dozens of attractions in Disney Parks around the country, it’s only inevitable that some will close for refurb every once in a while.
