food IS a theme park
Hi, DFB friends! It’s been quite a week in Disney World.
Cinderella Castle
This week we got a refurbishment update, a surprising character experience, new Star Wars merchandise, and more! Let’s get into it.
For a while now, we’ve been able to say “hello” to Mickey, Minnie, and more Disney pals through distanced photo ops and character cavalcades.
Hey There Mickey!
But, soon character meet-and-greets will be returning to Disney World in a modified way. In October 2021, Disney announced that character meet-and-greets would be coming back with changes. Just what characters will you be able to see in the parks with these modified meet-and-greets? We’ve got a list right here!
The newest addition to Disney Cruise Line, the Disney Wish, is scheduled to set sail on its maiden voyage in June 2022.

We’ve already learned about many new activities aboard the Wish for kids AND adults, and today Disney announced two additional experiences for kids to enjoy — and we’re kind of jealous! Whether you have a toddler or an older kid, you need to know about what else the Disney Wish has in store for families.
Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration is now in full swing, and this event will last a whopping 18 months.
Disney Enchantment
Disney has changed a lot for the 50th anniversary, including new fireworks shows, new nighttime Disney Park icon lighting, and LOTS of new merchandise. They’re also making a big change to a smaller Disney World item, and it may be your new favorite Disney souvenir.
If you’re anything like us, you need a cup of coffee to start your day off on the right foot.
Mocha Madness
Whether we’re taking advantage of Early Theme Park Entry at Disney World or waking up early for work…we’re always in need of a caffeine boost in the morning. And while we can’t always drink that cup of coffee in Disney World, we can bring a touch of Disney magic to our coffee.
Many of us enjoy having a pop (or MANY pops) of Disney around the kitchen.
So many mugs, so little time
Sometimes that comes down to Disney mugs, aprons, or kitchen towels, but have you ever wanted to store your food in a Disney container? Imagine every time you open your fridge to eat some leftovers, there’s Mickey and all his besties!
It’s Halloweentime in Disneyland!

We’ve already taken a look at new Halloween treats and merchandise at Disneyland, and there are THREE Halloween popcorn buckets to choose from unless you collect them in which case you need them all! Here’s a look at the annual Halloween Disneyland popcorn bucket.
The Walt Disney Company is something of a titan today and the innovation and principles on which it stands were originally crafted by a group of legendary visionaries.

From multiplane cameras to audio-animatronics, Walt Disney and his team were integral in shaping the world of entertainment as we know it today. And you’d be hard-pressed to name a more iconic Disney creation than Mickey Mouse. We have one man, in particular, to thank for Mickey — and it’s not Walt Disney.
Halloween has arrived in Disney World!
Halloween at Magic Kingdom
We’ve already made our way to Disney’s newest Halloween event (Disney After Hours BOO Bash), tried some specialty treats, and checked out lots of Halloween merchandise. But now, Halloween goodies have arrived at the bakery cases in several Disney World spots! Warning: the following photos may make you feel very spooky and hungry.
Halloween is almost here! And we are SO ready for it! Disney World is all decorated for the holiday, the After Hours Boo Bash parties have started, and we’re seeing all kinds of awesome spooky merchandise in the parks!
Cutest Halloween pumpkin ever?
