From the opening of Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railroad in Hollywood Studios, to the opening of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in Epcot, 2020 is set to be a BIG year at Disney World! One of the most exciting openings coming to the parks is a new space-themed restaurant in Epcot – Space 220! We’ve been eating up every detail coming out of this immersive restaurant, and counting down the days ’til it opens in the new year. And now, it looks like two lucky people will get to be among the first to dine at the new restaurant – all while giving back to a great cause!
Virgin Atlantic sure knows how to party! They’re celebrating August’s grand opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney World by revealing a new Millennium Falcon-inspired Boeing 747 — but that’s not all!

Not sure how to write a six word restaurant review? I wasn’t either! But it’s really fun! Here are a few of Erin’s examples: [Read more…]

Let’s review the latest news from this past week!
Just eeking out the final updates to the brand new Mini-Guide e-Book! (Thankfully, one of our fabulous columnists is in Disney World this week and has agreed to do a little extra recon for us!)
As you know, our DFB Guide to Walt Disney World Dining e-Book covers a wealth of information about Disney World food. But after hitting 250 pages, we reserved some of the more detailed info for our upcoming series of Mini-Guides.
The first in the series will be the Disney Food Blog Mini-Guide to Magic Kingdom Snacks, and it will be debuting very soon.
Detailed reviews, photos, prices, and snack-credit-worthiness of over 70 snacks in the Magic Kingdom are packed into this Mini-Guide, but, as always, we’ve included a few extras and bonus items as well!
We’ll have more information for you very soon; we can’t wait to hear what you think!
