food IS a theme park
It is almost time for the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, and Disney just released the FULL menus for this year’s festival!
2025 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival
The 2026 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival runs from March 4th through June 1st, 2026. The festival is full of gorgeous flowers and topiaries, special entertainment, and lots of delicious food and drinks. We have been eagerly awaiting the full menus for this year’s festival, and the time has officially arrived!
We are in the Disney parks every single day. While we are in the parks, we are constantly testing new products to see if they are a must-get for your next Disney trip. We extensively test each item, so we know we are recommending a good product.
One of our favorite park essentials!
We want to make sure you know which items will make your trip easier, so you can have the best Disney trip. There are a few items that we were a bit skeptical of at first, but now we couldn’t imagine a Disney World trip without them. These are three items that we almost didn’t buy, but are so glad we did!
The number of dining options at Disney World can feel overwhelming. While that means that you can find just about anything you are craving, it can also feel daunting to narrow down the list to decide where to eat. That is why we are here! We have eaten at every single Disney World restaurant, and we aren’t stopping there. We are constantly revisiting restaurants and trying new food, so you always have the most up-to-date information on dining at Disney World.
Bread Pudding at House of Blues
We recently stopped by House of Blues at Disney Springs for lunch, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here! [Read more…]
We can’t resist a key lime pie treat here at DFB. And we particularly love it when that key lime pie is on a stick. Delicious and easy to take with you wherever you are headed. There is never a bad time to grab a key lime pie treat, so when we were at Disney’s Old Key West Resort recently, we couldn’t help but grab one!
Frozen Key Lime Pie
You can find the Frozen Key Lime Pie at Good’s Food to Go at Disney’s Old Key West Resort. You can snag it for $9 and enjoy it while overlooking the water! It’s always a good day when you can enjoy a key lime pie on a stick at Disney World.
The Shaken & Stirred Cocktail Series has returned to The Edison in Disney Springs! These intimate, hands-on classes allow guests to “explore premium spirits, learn cocktail-making techniques, and enjoy tastings with a light lunch.” Tickets are now on sale for these classes, and with only 10 spots available per class, you will want to book sooner rather than later.

Shaken & Stirred Cocktail classes will take place on select Saturdays throughout 2026. Each class is led by a private bartender and features a theme. Whether you are a beginner or an enthusiast, you will learn about premium spirits and mixology techniques while enjoying tastings with a light lunch.
A new permit filed by Walt Disney World Resort hints that something NEW could be coming to Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Construction at the Contemporary Resort has been ongoing since September 2024, and we recently spotted a new permit that was filed.
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
The refurbishment at Disney’s Contemporary Resort is expected to continue through late 2027, though construction has already been extended several times. Initially, the refurbishment was expected to be done in summer 2025, then July 2026, and now it has been extended through late 2027.
If you were planning on heading to a Disney World water park, you need to know about this important update! Starting today, February 15th, Blizzard Beach has officially reopened. However, Typhoon Lagoon is now temporarily unavailable. You can still soak up some sun and enjoy a day in the water, but you will need to head to Blizzard Beach instead of Typhoon Lagoon.
Blizzard Beach
However, if you are a Typhoon Lagoon lover, you need to mark your calendar for May 12th, 2026. Typhoon Lagoon may currently be closed for refurbishment, but it will reopen on May 12th and remain open for the summer. The best part? BOTH Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach will be open for the summer.
New photos show an aerial view of the construction progress at Piston Peak National Park in Magic Kingdom. We have been keeping a close eye on the construction from the ground, but with all the construction walls, it can be hard to see what is happening in the area.

However, Bioreconstruct just shared a ton of new photos, giving us a glimpse into what is happening behind the walls. It is always exciting to see the progress in new areas at Disney World, so let’s take a look at these new photos!
The constant changes, updates, and renovations at Disney World help make sure it stays exciting visit after visit — there is almost always something new to experience or discover! However, it can also be bittersweet when something we love closes for good, or when an update takes away something we have always loved.
Magic Kingdom
Disney World is undergoing many changes and expansions right now, including the construction of Piston Peak National Park, Pueblo Esperanza, the Monsters, Inc. land, and Villains Land. With all the changes happening, there are a few things that we will be doing for the last time in Disney World in 2026.
Another part of Disney World will be closing for good this week. It has been more than a year since the first round of closures started at DinoLand U.S.A. in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This week, we have to say a final goodbye to this land. We have so many amazing memories in this area, and we are going to miss it!
We will miss you, Dinoland U.S.A.!
While the closure will make way for something new at Disney World, it is still a sad time to lose something that has brought so much happiness over the years. We will miss you greatly, DinoLand U.S.A.!
