food IS a theme park
If you think it’s too early to talk about Christmas, then I’ve got three words for you: Christmas in July.
The holidays at Disney World
It’s the most wonderful time of the year so why not get in on the festivities early? Like getting tickets for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party or waiting for Sprinkles to release their Christmas Cookie Cupcake. And how about checking out what  LEGO has in store for the holiday season?
It’s certainly no secret that we love all things Disney here at DFB. And, no matter how often we may be in the parks, we’re always looking for ways to bring Disney into our daily lives.
The Main Mouse
Whether it’s watching the latest movie or television release on Disney+, making our favorite Disney foods, or wearing our favorite Disney clothes — we take it pretty seriously. And if you’re anything like us, you need to see these epic Disney shirts we found online!
One of the biggest shopping events of the year is coming up!

That’s right, Amazon Prime Day is happening on July 16th and 17th, 2024! Usually, this mega sale brings thousands of great deals on a variety of products. And if you can’t wait for the official sale, we’ve got an early deal for you!
Are you heading to Disney World this month?
Driving to Disney World
So many new offerings have opened up this summer, such as CommuniCore Hall and Plaza in EPCOT and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom. Plus, the Country Bear Jamboree will open very soon, on July 17th, with a brand new show! Now seems like the perfect time to visit Disney World to experience these new offerings! But if you’re going soon, watch out for an upcoming road closure that might impact traffic near the parks.
Light the lights and start playing “All I Want for Christmas Is You” — it’s time to talk about the holiday season!
Magic Kingdom during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party!
We know, it’s probably the last thing you’re thinking about with the warm summer weather and Halloween around the corner first. However, Disney World just released a TON of information about the winter holiday season including dates for the 2024 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, info for Jollywood Nights (yes, this controversial event is returning), and details for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. The last two are separately ticketed events that happen after the park closes, so if you’re planning to go, you’ll need to prepare to buy tickets. That time is coming up soon — like very soon — because tickets are about to open up to ALL visitors!
What’s better than eating shaved ice? What about WEARING it?
Kakigori
Ok, ok, that may sound strange. But, we’re not talking about getting a bowl of shaved ice and throwing it on ur shirt (although, who are we to judge — sometimes it gets REALLY hot in Orlando). Disney has released a new merchandise collection to keep it cool for the summer and we are HUGE fans!
There’s a NEW ride in Disney World!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure recently opened in Magic Kingdom, and it has been pretty popular since, with fans flocking to the ride to see how Disney overhauled Splash Mountain with a Princess and the Frog theme. To help manage some of those crowds, Disney decided to operate Tiana’s Bayou Adventure with a virtual queue. But what happens if you’re LATE for your return time? We tested it out!
Have you ever dreamed of living at Disney World?
We will take a room in the Castle, please!
Well, for some people, that dream is a reality at Disney World’s private neighborhood, Golden Oak. Now, that spot, which is owned by Four Seasons, is expanding its development! According to the Four Seasons, the Golden Oak homes feature “exceptional service and unparalleled resort-style living.” These homes are known for having Disney touches like a Tower of Terror-themed elevator in one and a Millennium Falcon-inspired home theater in another!
We just found a very good reason to stop by Starbucks tomorrow, July 10th!
Starbucks in Disney Springs
Starbucks has announced that they’re giving away FREE reusable straws for one day only! Here’s how to get a freebie when you visit tomorrow. [Read more…]
For 15 years now, Disney Food Blog has been here to rate and review all of Disney World’s newest snacks.
EPCOT
But we also love to provide insight into what we personally think would be beneficial for Disney to do, or to implement into the parks. And what’s wild is that sometimes, it seems that Disney listens to us! Most recently, the hush puppies were removed from the menu at Columbia Harbour House in Magic Kingdom, and we were devastated. We let you all know, it became known VERY quickly that a lot of people were upset about the change, and within a week or so, the hush puppies were back on the menu! So Disney, if you were listening then, we hope you’re listening now too — it’s been 12 years, but we STILL THINK adding one of these into the Disney World parks would be incredibly useful.
