food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at EPCOT!
EPCOT
And, we’ve got plenty of construction, food, and merchandise updates, so let’s dive right on in!
We all have our own favorite forms of Disney Transportation that are a must-do during our trip to Disney World. But, Disney also has such a beautiful atmosphere filled with trees, lagoons, and flowers that we LOVE taking the time to walk around the property.
Grand Floridian Resort
And we’re getting closer and closer to being able to combine a fun ramble around the property with transporting ourselves to Magic Kingdom via the Grand Floridian Walkway! The new pathway will allow guests to walk straight from the Grand Floridian to the Magic Kingdom’s entrance on a special direct path.
We hope you’ve got your trekking shoes on because we’re taking you with us on a trip all the way to Africa in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Africa in Disney’s Animal Kingdom
A few days ago, we noticed some signs that several bars around Disney World might be preparing to reopen. And just like that, Dawa Bar has now reopened in Animal Kingdom! Come take a (virtual) tour of one of our favorite places to relax, soak up the atmosphere, and enjoy a delicious drink!
We’re making our way around Disney’s Animal Kingdom today, and having a fun adventure (even if it’s raining)!
Tree of Life
While we made our way to Expedition Everest to say hello to our old pal Disco Yeti, we found a bit of a pleasant surprise in the park. Although Thirsty River Bar and Trek Snacks has been half closed since the parks reopened (Trek Snacks has been open, but Thirsy River Bar has been closed), it had a random re-opening today for guests!
The Halloween season has already been filled with Pumpkin Spice Sundaes, our favorite Disney characters dressed in costumes, and a crazy amount of merchandise around the parks too!
Mickey’s Happy Halloween Cavalcade
Buuut, there’s just something so magical about hearing “Boo to You” playing around the Magic Kingdom as we wear our best witchy get-ups. As we were walking down Main Street today, though, we heard familiar voices singing new spooky songs!
Today’s another special day in the Magic Kingdom as the Cadaver Dans return to Main Street to sing some spooky tunes, along with all the other Halloween entertainment happening in the parks!

Disney has been creating new ways to celebrate the holidays, rolling out themed Character Cavalcades and allowing guests of all ages to wear their Halloween best (even the Cast Members). But, that doesn’t mean that the parks have curtailed their health and safety measures. Along with the health and safety notice signs placed throughout the park, Disney has also recently updated the overhead announcements to confirm lesser-followed required procedures in Disney World like wearing your mask over your nose and not lowering your mask for photos.
Disney+ has been one of the most magical parts of our stay at home (margs, warm blankets, and Disney movies? Maybe that’s the REAL Most Magical Place on Earth! ?).

But while we’ve been rewatching all our favorite movies for the hundredth time, we’ve noticed a few that just really deserve a sequel. (Remember when we had to wait 11 years for Toy Story 3 to get made??)
Disney World might be the spot for Pumpkin Spice and Fall decorations, but Universal Orlando is home to ALL the fears you can think up during Halloween time.
The Simpsons
Although Halloween Horror Nights has been canceled this year, Universal has still been bringing terrifying treats and merchandise into the parks at the Tribute Store and beyond!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Saratoga Springs!
Saratoga Springs
And, we’ve got plenty of entertainment, merchandise, and food updates to share with you, so let’s dive right on in!
Some dinosaur fans might love heading to Jurassic Park in Universal Orlando, but DinoLand, U.S.A. has a special place in our hearts over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
DinoLand, U.S.A.
This section of the park has recently been pretty quiet ever since Primeval Whirl closed permanently. But, today, there was a bit of hubbub in the area since Fossil Fun Games officially reopened to guests exploring the park!
