food IS a theme park
Hello, DFB friends! We spent a day at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, as well as at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge!
Animal Kingdom
So what’s new since the last we visited these two locations? Keep reading to find out!
At DFB, we’re committed to all things Disney and all things food. When the two topics are brought together in conversation, things get very serious around here. Arguments get heated, friendships are lost, and blood gets spilled. ?
Mickey Pretzel!
Ok, it’s not that bad. We just know what we like and are very passionate about it! We had a lengthy discussion about what Disney World snacks we’d never eat again. Brace yourselves! Some of our opinions may surprise you.
The Simba Pretzel made a triumphant return to Disney’s Animal Kingdom in August, after having been unavailable for a few weeks upon the park’s initial reopening. But then…
Simba Pretzel
… at the end of October, we noticed the snack had vanished from its two usual spots in the park: Harambe Fruit Market and Thirsty River Bar & Trek Snacks. Today, however, brings happy news that the Simba Pretzel has returned (to one of his two usual locations, in any case)! [Read more…]
He must’ve been busy for a little while, “brushin’ up on looking down, and workin’ on” his ROAR…
Simba Pretzel!!
… but SIMBA is BACK at Disney’s Animal Kingdom thanks to the return of the Simba Pretzel at Harambe Fruit Market! [Read more…]
Just like most of Disneyland Resort, the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles, California remains closed; but their concession stand is OPEN for business!

That’s right — you won’t be able to see any Disney films screened in this fully-restored movie palace, but you CAN stop by to pick up some fresh popcorn and a few Mickey Pretzels if you want to!
Some of our favorite iconic snacks went missing once Walt Disney World reopened to the public. We were reunited with a classic snack today!
Sweet Cream Cheese Pretzel
We have a long and tumultuous history with the Sweet Cream Cheese Pretzel from Disney World. It appeared years ago at The Lunching Pad in Magic Kingdom then took a hiatus sometime later. We thought it was potentially gone forever. There was a big pretzel-shaped hole in our hearts. Then, it came crawling back to us at Magic Kingdom, only to break our hearts once more. The Lunching Pad is temporarily unavailable so we haven’t had a chance to get our pretzel fix! WELL, it seems the delicious snack is back to toy with our hearts again! [Read more…]
Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom kicked off their grand re-opening last weekend! We were in the parks staking out what was new and missing from our favorite theme parks.
I Lava You Float
Most restaurants are offering limited menus due to the new re-opening procedures. With that, we noticed a lot of crowd-favorite snacks went missing! We already knew some of these tasty treats wouldn’t be making a reappearance, at least not initially, but the loss became way too real now that we’re back in the parks! [Read more…]
In a world where nothing really jives anymore, we thought it might be fun to give a voice to some of our favorite Disney attractions and take a look at what they’ve been up to while the people have been away. Some thought we’d truly come unglued when we lamented on behalf of the PeopleMover’s inability to MOVE around PEOPLE while the parks are closed.

And we thought to ourselves — what better way to confirm we’ve officially entered into the realm of true madness than by doing it once again, but this time from the perspective of our favorite Disney World snacks!
We’ve been filling you in on all the latest happenings now that several stores and restaurants have started to reopen at Disney Springs since last week!
World of Disney
And while you probably thought our coverage of World of Disney’s grand reopening was a pretty big deal today — we’re following an even BIGGER story (we think so at least!).
We’ve found ourselves with an abundance of time to really ponder all things Disney.
Let’s start out at Magic Kingdom!
While every Disney fan has their own opinions, we actually think some of these less popular beliefs are, like it or not, probably true! So let your curiosity get the better of you and check out these unpopular (yet true) Disney World opinions.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
