food IS a theme park
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser
Disney is sending us on a wild goose chase for pumpkins — and we’re loving every second of it.
EPCOT
For Halloween this year, Disney is celebrating in all our favorite ways! There are plenty of decorations to admire and (of course) snacks to try, and the beloved Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is back again this year! Now it’s time for a returning scavenger hunt to make its way to EPCOT — who’s ready to look for PUMPKINS in EPCOT?
Change can be hard, especially when it comes to your favorite snacks and drinks.
Swan and Dolphin Hotels
Disney World has a long-standing partnership with Coca-Cola, which you can see at several places throughout the theme parks, especially at one of our favorite EPCOT stops, Club Cool. There’s also a whole multi-story building dedicated to having the ultimate Coca-Cola experience at Disney Springs, sipping sodas from a scenic rooftop. So if you’re a Pepsi products fan visiting Disney World, surrounded by Coca-Cola everywhere, is there any hope for getting Pepsi anywhere? [Read more…]
If you have a Disney vacation coming up, you know the excitement leading up to it is real!
Cinderella Castle
Mickey ice cream bars, Cinderella Castle, Mickey hugs?! Between planning out our park outfits, booking our Advanced Dining Reservations, and researching Genie+, we have a hard time focusing on anything else in the days leading up to our trip. Now, Disney is helping us get ready for our upcoming stays in a fun new way — right in the My Disney Experience app!
Beep beep! We’re pulling up to share an update on the parking situation in Disney World. We don’t know about you, but when it comes to driving around Disney World, we like to know the parking rules ahead of time so we don’t get turned away or caught paying extra for a parking spot.
Disney Springs
The good news is that most Disney World locations have plenty of parking spots available — even on a super busy day! But if you’re planning to visit Disney Springs this year, you may need to know this important parking update.
Staying at one of Disney World’s deluxe hotels feels pretty good. You have access to some amazing restaurants, additional transportation options, and even Extended Evening Hours in the parks!
Polynesian Village
Of course, all those extra amenities come at a pretty steep price. A weeklong stay at one of the deluxe resorts on Disney property can cost several thousand dollars — and that’s not even including park tickets or transportation. While Disney’s deluxe hotels are all pretty popular, we’ve noticed that one of the newest resorts on property just isn’t quite as famous as the others. However, we think that fans are making a mistake by counting out this new spot!
Get ready to CRINGE.
Yacht Club
Over the years, we’ve seen our fair share of cringeworthy things in Disney World. From guests being rude to Cast Members to overhearing awkward family arguments. But there’s no place where we cringe quite as much as at our Disney World hotel. And today, we’re sharing the SUPER CRINGE things people keep doing at the hotels!
September is a busy month for EPCOT! Hope you can keep up, because there’s a lot going on. Let’s talk about it.
EPCOT
First of all, there’s still quite a bit of construction happening in EPCOT. But the end is near! Then, there’s the Food and Wine Festival, new 100th Anniversary celebrations, and Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana attraction previews ALL happening now. Speaking of that Journey of Water attraction, we’ve got an update to share ahead of the outdoor attraction’s grand opening!
Good food, festive drinks, live music…yeah, EPCOT knows how to show its guests a good time.
EPCOT
With all those seasonal holiday parties, anniversaries, festivals, and more, there’s pretty much always some kind of exciting event happening in the parks. Currently, we’re in the middle of The Walt Disney Company’s 100th Anniversary, and we’ve already tried plenty of new treats, shopped the new merch, and checked out the new entertainment — but it looks like MORE just arrived in Disney World!
EPCOT is the place to BE right now. There’s a NEW Figment meet-and-greet, a huge new outdoor attraction, and LOTS of sweet and savory snacks at the Food and Wine Festival. And hey, while you’re in the park, celebrating the 100th Anniversary and all, you might want to grab a drink at a SPACE-themed lounge!
Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana
If you’re unfamiliar, Space 220 is one of EPCOT’s newer restaurants, and you can find a variety of unique foods on the menu, like Blue Moon Cauliflower, Space Pad “Thai,” and Rocket Flame Seared Tuna. But there’s always something new to explore in space, right? So come with us to check out all the NEW drinks available at Space 220.
