2023 Food and Wine Festival
Thursday, July 27th marked the start of the 2023 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival.
Here, we tried some great new food, saw some stunning merchandise, and even participated in a super cheesy scavenger hunt. Plus, there’s even a new nighttime spectacular that you can see on Spaceship Earth.

Halloween Merchandise
We’re nearing the end of summer, which means we’re getting ready to celebrate Halloween at Disney World. We won’t even try to act like we’re mad that Disney celebrates Halloween in August — because we just aren’t. Bring on spooky season! We’ve seen some Halloween merchandise slowly but surely arrive to the shops, but one thing we’ve seen takes the cake!
They’re Hocus Pocus ears! The team here at DFB can’t stop thinking about these ears. We all might be matching this Halloween season! How cute are these?!
Haunted Mansion Premiere
Okay, so, this isn’t exclusively a Disney World thing. HOWEVER, you can catch the all-new Haunted Mansion movie at AMC in Disney Springs starting July 28th!
We can’t wait to see the movie. We’ve already heard that there are tons of great easter eggs and odes to the ride.
Well, those are our favorite things that have happened at Disney World this week! Keep following DFB for all the latest happenings at Disney World!
