food IS a theme park
Hello from Disney World!
Caribbean Beach Resort
We’ve been spending some time wandering around the resorts. And we’ve got some updates for you! Are you ready?
Okay, so we sort of kinda’ missed National Chocolate Chip Day a bit, but we’re of the opinion that EVERY day should be a celebration of chocolate chips.
Artist Palette Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookie
So while we were busy eating other snacks, like unique Kit Kats, fruity potato chips, and Disney Cruise Line desserts, we were still thinking about that most classic of chocolate chip snacks, the Chocolate Chip Cookie. And of course, we’ve got our favorites at Disney World.
Alex & Ani puts out some pretty cool jewelry that lets us rep some of our favorite Disney things!
Legends of Hollywood
From Jiminy Cricket to Pizza Planet to Nightmare Before Christmas, there’s a bracelet for every Disney fan! But today, we found some bracelets that are…well…SUPER.
Oh, beignets — they are a staple at Disneyland and we love them oh so much.
Mickey beignets
And we’re not just talking about the Mickey Beignets, but also those awesome beignets from Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen at Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort! We’ve tried the Mardi Gras Glazed Beignets and Snickerdoodle Beignets, but now there’s a new beignet in town and it’s not like anything we’ve ever seen before.
Disney has really gone all in on the Collectible Key train, and there are obviously a lot of people collecting these babies!
Marvel tees!
Maybe that’s because they’re a fun way to commemorate favorite movies and Disney franchises, and we’ve seen some pretty awesome ones, including Star Wars Keys, Rainbow Keys, and Cruella Keys! But now…the most SUPER of keys has officially arrived!
Going to Disney World requires quite a bit of planning. That means knowing where you’re staying, how long you’ll be there, and for many of us, where you want to eat! And we always stress the importance of planning ahead when it comes to food, which means making Advance Dining Reservations for those restaurants that are on your must-do lists!
The Crystal Palace
And here’s the deal — you’ll need to make some of those reservations, particularly the hard-to-get ones, 60 days out! But that gives you nearly two months before those reservations, meaning that your plans might change. Well, what do you do then?
We’re back in Hollywood! Well, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, which is pretty much the next best thing.
Hooray for Hollywood!
And we’ve got a few updates from here to share with you, so let’s get started!
Cape May Cafe at Disney’s Beach Club Resort has finally reopened!
Cape May has reopened!
And we were there on its grand reopening day, checking out how things have changed, and comparing it to what it was like before it closed with Disney World last year. We were there for breakfast, but we also decided to check it out for dinner!
It’s been over a year since the U.S. cruise industry halted operations due to the global health pandemic. And it’s been difficult on cruise lines ever since — even Disney admitted that cruising would be the last arm of the company to resume operations.
Disney Dream
But as more people get vaccinated, we’re starting to see the first signs that the cruise industry is ready to set sail again soon. The CDC recently stated that cruises could resume as early as mid-July in American waters. But because cruises to Alaska must sail through Canadian waters, things are a little more complicated.
A lot of what we do here at DFB is posting articles and videos to help you plan the most magical Disney World trip possible. Not only do we keep you updated on all the great food at the parks, but we’ve also got tips and tricks for each park, as well as tips and trips for attractions.

We even try to help you save money when we can AND let you know about the hacks that have helped us in the past! And we’ve got SCORES of videos to help you plan your trip for 2021 — so here are the ones you need to watch before your trip this year! Happy viewing!
