food IS a theme park
We have some sad caramel apple news to share with you…
Where did the caramel apples go?
Caramel apples have been DISAPPEARING off the shelves in Disney World! This deliciously chewy, crunchy, and sweet treat seems to be nowhere to be found and we did some digging to find out why.
Disney World is always working on SOMETHING — there’s construction EVERYWHERE.
Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter
Splash Mountain is in the middle of being converted into a NEW ride. EPCOT has seen a LOT of construction due to its massive transformation. Even some restaurants are getting worked on right now. Recently, though, we noticed that something was MISSING from a Disney World hotel.
Well, Disney has dropped a LOT of details about the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival.

We finally have the full menus for every food booth, as well as a first look at some of this year’s new festival merchandise. We even learned about what foods will be part of the cheese crawl this year. But some things were notably MISSING from Disney’s latest announcements.
The Disney Dining Plan is coming back! That’s right. Disney has announced that the dining plan will return on January 9th, 2024 for visitors with stays at Disney World hotels for that date and later. Bookings for the dining plan will start on May 31st, 2023.

The dining plan has been absent since 2020, but we finally know when it will return. Disney offered SOME information about the dining plan’s return, but there are still some missing details — let’s go over those.
You’ve got to be CAREFUL when you go to Disney World!
Trattoria al Forno
Why? Well, some of the things you might love may go totally missing without notice! Disney lost 6 food items in 2022 and we’ve even seen animatronics go missing for a while. You never know what surprises you might be met with during your next trip. Now, it seems another item may have disappeared without a trace!
Oh no. Someone call the Disney snack authorities — it’s happened AGAIN!
Head Here for a Sweet Treat (or Two, or Three!)
We’ve already reported about how a peanut butter shortage is impacting some Disney World treats, and how the popular Fuzzy Tauntaun drink has disappeared from Disneyland and may be changing at Disney World. We’ve seen Disney World snacks go missing in the past, but the latest snack disappearance really hurts.
Here at DFB, we’re pretty frequent Disney-goers, so we usually notice when things are missing from the parks.
Something (or should we say someone) was missing from Tomorrowland today!
Whether it be an animatronic, a piece of a ride, or a sign that’s out of place, we tend to know when things aren’t right in the parks. But today, something big was missing from a Magic Kingdom ride, and it was pretty obvious!
Note: The animatronics have returned to the attraction.
Lots of things have been changing at EPCOT lately as part of the EPCOT Transformation.
EPCOT
Soon, there will be a new shop, a revitalized Club Cool, and more. Today, we noticed that something else had changed at EPCOT, this time inside of a classic attraction. [Read more…]
When you go to Disney World nearly every day, like we do, you immediately notice when something is different or off.
Chip ‘n’ Dale have gone missing?
Sometimes it’s just stopping to wonder why someone would abandon a box of Dole Whips. Other times, we just have to stop and admire Disney ducks. And then there are times when we notice that something is missing.
Earlier this year, Disney announced that it would be making some changes to Disney World and Disneyland’s classic ride — the Jungle Cruise.

As part of the refurbishments/retheme, the rides will get a new storyline, a skipper animatronic will be featured IN the ride itself, and more changes will be made. And, today we found that one of this ride’s signature characters was totally GONE!
