food IS a theme park
Are you a runner? Do you participate in runDisney events?

Have you ever been in any of the runDisney races in Disney World? Believe it or not, there USED to be runDisney events in Disneyland, too, but those paused back in 2017. However, Disney has announced that runDisney events will return to Disneyland!
Welcome, foolish mortals.
The Haunted Mansion
It doesn’t matter which Disney Park you go to — Disney World OR Disneyland — those three words probably bring back some iconic memories of the Haunted Mansion. But those Haunted Mansions are not the same. Only one of those has the iconic Hatbox Ghost figure, but look alive…because that’s ALL about to change!
This is the way — if you’re a Star Wars fan, you know that phrase from The Mandalorian on Disney+. You’re also familiar with Din Djarin and his companion, Grogu (aka Baby Yoda).
Grogu
If you’re like us, you’ve been collecting all the Grogu merchandise you can get your hands on — the plushes, the spirit jerseys, the pins, and more! Well, you’ll soon be able to MEET Grogu — and Din — in Disneyland Resort!
Well, it’s been a WEEK!
Oogie Boogie Nachos!!!
So much is going on right now. We had the first Oogie Boogie Bash in Disneyland, we celebrated Disney+ Day in the parks, and we’re getting ready for a TON of announcements from the D23 Expo this weekend! But we’re still thinking about FOOD, which means we’re keeping an eye on Disney World restaurants to see if anything has changed.
One of the most popular souvenirs in Disney World is the resort-specific Starbucks cups, which come in a variety of designs.
Do you collect Disney World Starbucks cups?
We’ve seen those cups sell out FAST, both in Disney World and online, and they’re not always easy to get your hands on, especially if they’re the 50th anniversary designs. One of those cups, which has Mickey on it, though, has FINALLY arrived in Disney World.
It’s been a wild weekend with loads of Disney announcements from the D23 Expo.
Disneyland Hotel
Disney has made huge announcements about Disney World AND Disneyland, as well as announcements about movies, TV shows, and more! But the news just keeps coming in. Now we’ve got an update about the Disney Vacation Club tower being built at the Disneyland Hotel — we know what its name will be!
Who’s been following along with D23 Expo this weekend? SO MUCH is going on!
The D23 Expo Is Here!
We’ve already had updates on some upcoming Disney Parks attractions, we’ve learned about NEW animated movies, we’ve seen trailers for other movies, we saw Disney Legends being honored, and more! But that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to D23 Expo. Now, we’re going to take you through the D23 Expo Marketplace!
It’s official — Halloween season is officially here! Yes, we know it’s still mid-September, but Disney World and Disneyland are both having their Halloween parties and when it’s Halloween in Disney, it’s HALLOWEEN!
Halloween in Disneyland
In honor of the spooky season, now is the time to get all the fun spooky Disney merchandise, too! We’ve already seen some fun Halloween ears, spirit jerseys, plushes, and more. We’ve even seen Halloween Crocs — and now those Crocs are available ONLINE.
Planning a Disney World trip isn’t something that just happens.
How far in advance do YOU plan for your Disney World trips?
For many of us, it requires a lot of planning, including figuring out a budget, where to stay, and (most importantly) where to eat. But how long does it take to make all of those plans? Well, we asked YOU, our DFB readers, on Facebook and you told us!
There is a lot going on with Disney World resorts right now.
Polynesian Village Resort
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn is getting some major changes (and a new restaurant JUST opened there), Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa just got a brand new DVC building, and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has demolished the old Spirit of Aloha building and is working on some new DVC villas in that space. So let’s take a look at the DVC villas progress at the Polynesian!
