food IS a theme park
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Bob Iger hints at some major expansions in the Disney parks, the Disney World app just got a big overhaul, and a mysterious new Encanto experience is in the works.
Let’s go shopping! Here at Disney Food Blog, we hate paying full price. With a little patience (and some luck), you may end up being able to buy those Disney souvenirs you wanted at a DISCOUNT if you wait for a sale.
2024 Merchandise
But really, who has the time to scour the Disney Store website 24/7? That’s where WE come in! We keep our eyes out for the best Disney deals so that YOU can pounce on those sales and score a discount! Today, we’re back with some fun Disney souvenirs on SALE right on the Disney Store website. Let’s take a look!
If you grew up watching Disney Channel or loved all those late ’90s to mid-2000s Disney movies, like The Parent Trap, The Princess Diaries, and Freaky Friday, you’ve come to the right place. We’re going to go out on a limb here and guess that we’re mostly talking to Millennials, but all are welcome to join the “Nostalgic Disney Lovers” club we just made up. Welcome!
Disney Channel fans, this is for YOU!
Disney has been catering to Millennials a LOT lately. They created an entire Disney Channel Nite event, with old throwbacks to Kim Possible, Hannah Montana, and even The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. But now, we’ve got another BIG announcement for Disney fans. Wait until you hear what could be coming SOON!
Trust us. Even if you’re not a big coffee drinker, caffeine is a NECESSITY in Disney World. When you’re waking up early to get those Genie+ reservations, staying out late to watch the fireworks, and running around the parks all day, your energy is sure to be DRAINED by the end of your vacation.
Joffrey’s is POPULAR!
That’s why Disney has strategically placed both Starbucks AND Joffrey’s Coffee locations all around the parks and resorts. No matter where you go, there’s probably a place to grab some caffeine nearby. Now, that’s just smart marketing! Oh, and speaking of smart business decisions that also benefit US, let’s talk about the exclusive NEW Annual Passholder drink available now!
We’ve told you to read the fine print. You know to double-check those flight dates before purchasing your airline tickets. We even make sure to comb through all the Disney World park hours to make sure you’re aware of any important changes. But even Disney EXPERTS make mistakes. Even people who go to the parks every single DAY may be surprised by a sneaky sign or an unexpected closure.
Casey’s Corner
That’s what we’re here for! We’re here to let you learn from our mistakes. During a recent visit to Magic Kingdom, we overheard an interesting conversation in Frontierland. That conversation sparked an investigation, and we suddenly found ourselves running all over Magic Kingdom, looking for proof. We came to a confusing conclusion. Time to explain.
You have to pay CLOSE attention to those Disney World park hours and showtimes — they can be SNEAKY! One moment, you might see that Magic Kingdom is closing at 10PM — but then, the next day, that closing time may change to 11PM! (Trust us — it’s happened to our reporters dozens of times!)
Happily Ever After
Even Disney’s nightly fireworks shows can change from one day to the next — that’s why you have to keep a close eye on the My Disney Experience app! Luckily, we watch for changes like a hawk, so come with us to see the important fireworks CHANGE happening in Magic Kingdom this March.
Has anyone seen the new season of Somebody Feed Phil on Netflix? Spoiler alert: there’s an ORLANDO episode! That’s right, the humble city of Orlando has an impressive enough food scene to earn an entire episode of television. And yes, everything on the show looked DELICIOUS!
Disney Springs
Speaking of food on Somebody Feed Phil, Disney World snack lovers may recognize one of the treats featured on the show. Guess what? Even Phil Rosenthal knows about the beloved Gideon’s Bakehouse. Intrigued? Go watch the show! But first, take a look at the NEW Gideon’s Bakehouse menu for March!
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!
EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival
A new EPCOT festival has started, major changes to 2025 Disney World vacation packages, big news coming from Tokyo DisneySea’s Fantasy Springs, and everything you need to know if you’re going to Disney World this week.
OK, Disney fans, we need your opinion. Here in the U.S., there are two versions of a classic Disney ride called Soarin’. First, there was Soarin’ Over California, which transports riders to sunny California. (We can think of two words to describe this version of the ride: Orange. Groves. If you know, you know.) Then, Disney debuted Soarin’ Around the World, and, as the name implies, you get a birds-eye view of some famous places all over the WORLD! If you’ve been on both versions of the ride, which one is your favorite?
Soarin’ Over California
So, why are we talking about Soarin’? Well, every once in a while, Disney CHANGES the ride experience by swapping between Soarin’ Around the World and Soarin’ Over California. Now, the ride is changing again! Let’s take a look.
Let us begin with a little personal anecdote. As the resident Disney EXPERTS around here, our family and friends come to us with any and EVERY kind of Disney-related question. This includes questions like, “So what exactly is Genie+?” and “Where should I go to eat when I’m at Magic Kingdom?” Often, we’re also asked questions that only a human Disney encyclopedia would know the answer to, like “Where can I go to fill my water bottle?” And guess what? We have answers to it ALL!
Disney World
But if you don’t have your own personal Disney encyclopedia at your disposal, we’ve got a solution! When it comes to obscure Disney information, sometimes, you’ve gotta go straight to the source. Let us explain!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
