food IS a theme park
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!
We know…we get pretty excited when it comes to Minnie Ears — you can say we’re a little obsessed!
Ink & Paint Spirit Jersey
But these new Ink & Paint Minnie Ears are some of the cutest ears we’ve seen in a long time!
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.
Last night, two teams entered, but only one team left victorious at a little game called the Super Bowl. While the nation watched the 54th year of this contest and chowed down on chips and dip, the Kansas City Chiefs took the win over the San Francisco 49ers.

What do Super Bowl winners do? They go to Disney World, of course. The words that have become quote famous were shouted by the quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes, but he’s not the only one going to the Most Magical Place on Earth.
They say “A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes.”

Clearly, our wishes have been granted because we’ve already been chowing down on a ton of themed goodies for Cinderella’s 70th Anniversary!
We’ve spotted the Cinderella Cupcake, Cinderella Petit Cake, Bibbidi Bobbidi-Boo Cake, and even a Carriage Cake Pop! But over at Disney’s Polynesian Resort, there’s something a little more glittery to be found… .
We’re having a fiesta over at Walt Disney World’s Coronado Springs Resort for another look at What’s New!

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.
Need a pizza at lightning-fast speed? Well, Blaze Fast-Fire’d Pizza in Disney Springs has got you covered!
Blaze Pizza
And while this create-you-own-pizza restaurant gets its name from the quick-firing ovens it uses, NOW it might as well be because of this new system they just rolled out this week! We’re talkin’ SUPER FAST eats, y’all!
