food IS a theme park
There have been SO many reopenings lately in Disney World!
Dockside Diner is back!
Most recently, we’ve been to the reopening of Boma at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, Pizzafari at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and more!
The year-long Disney Ultimate Princess Celebration is ON at Disney World! And Princess Week officially kicks off tomorrow!
We love Disney Princesses!
We are so ready to celebrate all our favorite princesses — from Belle to Jasmine to Ariel to Merida (please, Disney, release some Merida stuff!!!), it’s ALL about princesses at Disney World right now. They’re getting a ton of new merchandise, snacks, a playground, and more!
If you’re like us, you’ve always dreamed of living in your own castle — we’ll have to blame Disney for our super-high standards.
We’d live here if we could!
Unfortunately Cinderella Castle is not for sale (insert sad sigh here), but there’s now a chance to channel your inner Disney princess by owning a castle nearby!
Sure, it’s Halloween season at Disney World (and we’re enjoying every spooky minute of it!)
Main Street, USA during the holidays
But that doesn’t stop us from thinking ahead to the holidays, especially with lots of holiday things coming like the Very Merriest After Hours Party! So we have NO problem thinking about our holiday decor, especially ornaments!
Ornaments are such a fun souvenir to bring home from Disney World.
Disney Christmas Ornaments
They’re perfect for decorating the Christmas tree and there is an ornament for just about everything — favorite attractions, favorite characters, favorite caffeinated beverages, and more. But now we’ve found a resort ornament that might just be one of our all-time favorites.
Hello, DFB Readers!
The Animal Kingdom Lodge lobby is GORGEOUS.
What a week we’ve had at Disney World! We’ve been trying to make sense of Disney Genie (and we hope we’ve helped you make sense of it, too). We’ve been checking out all the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival booths that have opened early. We’ve been to some restaurant reopenings, too! But we’ve also been to the resorts to see what’s new!
Yesterday, we got LOADS of new details about the new Disney Genie digital service that’s coming soon to the Disney World My Disney Experience and Disneyland apps.

We learned more about the features of the app, as well as additional paid options that offer guests access to “Lightning Lanes” (which will replace FastPass+) on Disney Parks attractions.
Things have been picking up around Disneyland Resort since its reopening.
Technically, withOUT the character right now.
We finally got to witness the opening of Avengers Campus (and it did NOT disappoint), but we also have seen many Disneyland hotels and restaurants reopen! And today, we’re at another grand reopening!
Hello from Disney World. We’re hanging out at the parks today checking out food, merchandise, 50th anniversary decor, and more!
Tree of Life
But we’re also going to hop on some rides because we were in for a surprise today — the crowds are really low right now! And wait times are short. Is this the least crowded we’ve seen Disney World all summer?
Although it might seem unassuming, we’ve always been fond of Yak and Yeti Restaurant at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Yak and Yeti
Yak and Yeti is located in the Asia section of the park in the village of Anandapur. And what really makes it stand out is the theming (something Disney knows a thing or two about). In the past, the food has been consistently pretty good. But it’s been a while since we’ve eaten here, so we had to pop in to see if that’s still the case.
