food IS a theme park
Hello from Magic Kingdom! We’re wandering around this wonderful world that’s all decked out for Halloween and having a blast!
It doesn’t seem that long ago when we were here last (it wasn’t), but we still have a lot of updates! So let’s get to it!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Well, not JUST yet. Yes, yes we know fall officially began earlier this week, but Disney seems to operate off of a WAY different calendar than the rest of us. (This is why Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party usually kicks off in August…)
ANYWAY…. In keeping with their tradition, Disney recently announced the Christmas Season at Disney World begins November 6! With that kind of timetable, we may be further behind in our holiday shopping than we thought! Never fear! A number of festive holiday merch has already appeared on shopDisney, and we’re here to help you start crossing off items on your holiday shopping list!
If you want to sample delicious items from some fantastic restaurants around Orlando, including spots in Disney World, at a great value, you’ll definitely want to check out Orlando’s Magical Dining Month.
As part of this special dining month, select restaurants in Orlando create three-course, prix-fixe dinners for just $35 per person! Additionally, $1 from each meal benefits Feed the Need Florida, an organization that helps feed people who have struggled to get access to healthy food during the pandemic. The event was set to end on October 4th, but it has now been extended!
Disney World is in a constant state of change.
Sometimes, those changes boil down to refurbishments on beloved and long-standing attractions. We’ve seen permits that might point to some upcoming refurbs in Magic Kingdom and now, Disney has announced that TWO Magic Kingdom attractions will be closing for lengthy refurbishments.
Although Disney executives have made the case for Disneyland Resort to reopen soon, and we’ve seen some signs showing that Disneyland is preparing to welcome guests, an official reopening date for the Disneyland Resort theme parks has not yet been set.
Today, we’ve spotted an update that shows we may still have to wait a bit longer to visit the happiest place on earth.
We need to form a calming circle STAT because we’re a little too excited about the latest Starbucks hack we’re bringing you for Halloween time!
Hocus Pocus is a staple when it comes to our spooky season festivities. And, it’s pretty obvious that Disney treasures it (even more than Sarah’s lucky rat tail) since merchandise has popped up all around the parks already. As you get ready to listen to “I Put a Spell on You” on repeat during your next trip to Starbucks, you might want to bring three of your best friends or sistaaahhs to grab THREE Hocus Pocus-themed drinks this Halloween season!
Get pumped! It’s time for a new DFB Video!
Disney World vacations tend to be a LOT of fun and you’ll have a lot of good ideas on your trip! But, we’re ALL susceptible to some bad ideas too, and we want you to be ready when you start to think something might be a good idea when it’s really not.
The next few months are going to be an exciting time on the Disney World monorail loop!
Recently, Disney announced that Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort will not be reopening until the summer of 2021. This is because the resort will undergo a substantial refurbishment.
This refurb will include new Moana-inspired elements in locations like the Great Ceremonial House and the Guest rooms. Now, Disney Imagineers have shared even MORE details about this refurbishment — including concept art!
As you may know, EPCOT is set to receive an all-new fireworks show celebrating the power of music — Harmonious.
The show was supposed to initially debut in the spring of 2020 but has seen a delay due to the historic park closures. We haven’t heard a new reopening date, but we’ve been keeping a close eye on EPCOT fireworks’ progress. Now, we have a pretty BIG sign that could be a step in the direction of the return of fireworks in EPCOT and the rest of Disney World.
UPDATE: The Chefs de France hours have now changed to reflect “No Times Available” from now to October 7th. On October 8th and onward, there are listed times. This new date is still not a guarantee that the restaurant will open, but it could be an indication.Â
Earlier today, Cinderella’s Royal Table surprised guests by reopening a day earlier than previously scheduled.
Could another popular restaurant be preparing to join the ranks of other recently reopened locations in Disney World? Here’s what we know!
