food IS a theme park
Okay, Disney World, WHAT is going on?
Animal Kingdom
It’s normal for menus in Disney World to change often, because almost EVERYTHING changes on the daily. But recently, Disney has been CHANGING some of our favorite snacks — the blueberry Mickey waffles in Hollywood Studios, the waffles at Sleepy Hollow in Magic Kingdom, BUT NOW our favorite corn has changed, too!
We are always looking for an excuse to go shopping, and thanks to science, we have one!
Emporium
Color can describe feelings and moods, so we compiled a list of Disney shirts that are perfect for bringing forth feelings of happiness and excitement!
We love a good throwback, and this time, we’re throwing it as far back as we possibly can…to opening day of Walt Disney World!
Orange bird ornament
Orange Bird is a popular character in Disney World, with lots of merchandise and treats dedicated to him. But did you know when Magic Kingdom first opened there was a drink dedicated to him? And now you can make it at home! [Read more…]
Does anyone else remember the great POG juice crisis of 2021? It’s not something that’s easy for us to forget here at DFB!
Oh, POG Juice, how we love thee.
In case you missed it, the wonderfully delicious, refreshing, must-try POG juice went missing from Disney World in the summer and we were looking high and low to see what could have happened to this Disney delicacy. Luckily, it returned within a few months, but it was DIFFERENT. A new supplier rolled in and fans weren’t really sure if it did the POG juice legacy justice. It’s been a few months now and we’ve adjusted to being able to rely on finding POG juice in Disney once again — but, now Disneyland is UPPING the anty and we HAD to head over to give the newest FROZEN concoction a try!
From our first drop on Tower of Terror to a life-sized Carnosaurus trying to eat us on Dinosaur, Disney has found more ways to freak us out than we would’ve originally expected.
Tower of Terror
For parents with younger children, traumatizing little ones through the power of Disney magic during a family vacation might not be part of the game plan. They may try to avoid scary-ish rides altogether, sticking with tamer rides that provide “a world of laughter” or “happy little thoughts.” But however hard you might try to protect your child from the darker side of Disney, there are some ride scares you might not be able to avoid — and some you may not have expected to scare younger ones, at all.
When it comes to souvenirs, Disney World has no shortage of options to choose from!
Main Street Balloons
You could get pins, glow toys, bubble wands, tees, or so many other items! We’re constantly checking up on the new souvenir offerings in Walt Disney World, and today we noticed a change to one of the classics — Mickey balloons. There are not one, but TWO new colors of Mickey balloons…and we’ve got pictures of them both!
It has been a loooong winter and we are already dreaming of warm spring days!
Welcome to the Grand Floridian
With the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival on the horizon, we aren’t the only ones with springtime on our minds! And today we spotted a new cupcake full of bright spring colors and flavors over at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa that could put you in the spirit of spring, too!
We love our fruity desserts at Disney World, like the iconic Dole Whip and Citrus Swirl.
BoardWalk Bakery
And now there’s a NEW citrus treat in town! The Orange Cream Cupcake has arrived at the BoardWalk Bakery.
is one of our favorite places to pick up a quick and hearty snack in Disneyland. You already know that we can’t get enough of their meat and veggie skewers.

And it’s true: they put just about anything on a stick, with fun names like the Banyan Beef Skewer and the Safari Skewer. (Though we can never resist their stick-free signature, the Tiger Tail). [Read more…]
The Candy Palace is always one of my favorite stops when visiting Main Street USA at Disneyland.
Candy Palace
On a recent walk through, I noticed an exciting new addition to the check out counter; Candy Sticks!
I immediately gravitated toward them because they reminded me of a very special holiday treat. Yep, Disneyland’s famous handmade candy canes. Same width, same patterns, and same packaging, but less than 1/2 the price!
Candy Sticks from Candy Palace
New for Summer, the candy sticks are made in the Candy Palace kitchen using the same process as the Disneyland candy canes. Each stick is generous in size, basically one of the giant candy canes minus the hook!
They are $4.99 each, and come in three flavors: orange, lemon lime, and cinnamon. Unfortunately, because they are handmade, you may not use your annual pass for a discount on these puppies. There is however no limit on how many you can buy.
Orange, Cinnamon & Lemon-Lime
Of course I had to buy one of each flavor and take them home for experimental research! When I got them out of their packages, I noticed that they had the same light and airy feel to them as the holiday Candy Canes.

Because they are handmade, you will notice that [Read more…]
