food IS a theme park
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!
Magic Kingdom
We’ve got EVERYTHING from Disney’s latest earnings call, including some news about Taylor Swift, a Moana sequel is coming out THIS YEAR, we found wine Dole Whip (and you don’t need a park ticket to grab it), more Lug bags have hit the shelves and so much more.
Imagine getting married with Spaceship Earth behind you. Imagine saying, “I do,” followed by a reception with Mickey and Minnie. Now that’s the DREAM, right?

But before you walk down the aisle, you’ll need a DRESS! If you truly want to feel like a Disney princess, you’ve got an entire collection of Disney Fairy Tale dresses to choose from. But what about those of you out there who don’t want a traditional Disney princess-style gown? Are you team villain? Looking for a dark and dramatic dress? Disney just released a NEW Disney Villains Capsule Collection of wedding gowns you HAVE to see. Who knows — you might convert to the dark side after seeing these dresses.
Disney tried something NEW this past winter. Something ambitious and — in theory — perfect for its loyal audience of holiday party guests. So what went wrong?
Jollywood Nights
As you may know, events like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party are wildly popular. These parties sell out pretty much every year, and fans return over and over again. But Disney’s NEW Jollywood Nights holiday party didn’t seem to have the success many expected. Several party dates came and went without selling out, and the overall reception was lukewarm. Will Disney bring Jollywood Nights BACK in 2024? We may have a clue!
Move over, Disney World! There’s a NEW theme park coming to town, and it’s gonna be EPIC. (How long til that joke gets old?) Universal Orlando Resort’s Epic Universe is coming to Orlando, Florida SOON. But how soon?

Before we go spouting off about the Epic Universe opening date, we should probably take a step back. What IS Epic Universe? What will it look like? What’s included? We have alllll the answers, so let’s dive in!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort is a stunning, classic (expensive) hotel. It’s got a spa, a beautiful pool, views of Magic Kingdom, and some AMAZING dining options. But there’s one restaurant we’ve been missing for a while. In fact, it’s been closed since 2020!

We’ve had our eyes on the Disney website for YEARS, awaiting an update on one Grand Floridian restaurant. And finally — finally! — this dining spot has a reopening date. Mark your calendars, people! This is BIG!
Is anyone else totally OVER the winter blues? Say it with us: WE. WANT. SUMMER!
Target
Sadly, we have a little more winter to get through first, but while we wait for sunnier days and warmer temperatures, we can do a little shopping to cheer ourselves up, right? Luckily, Target has just the NEW Disney collection you need! Let’s take a look.
FORGET about theme park dining! Disney Springs has SO many sit-down and fast-food options for you to choose from that you’ll want to try them ALL.

Buuuuut… that’s pretty impossible, especially during a single trip. So instead, we’re gonna RANK every Disney Springs restaurant so YOU can figure out which ones should become your top priority.
If you’re planning a trip to Disneyland Resort soon, you might want to listen up.

A serious weather event is headed for California, and reports are predicting life-threatening and damaging flooding and strong wind in California this weekend.
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and that means it’s time to do some pre-holiday shopping for someone special in your life. (Or you can treat yourself — no one knows you better, after all!) This year, we’ve got a SUPER creative gift idea for Disney fans. Sure, you can get a regular old bouquet of flowers for Valentine’s Day, but what about a Disney-themed bouquet that NEVER dies? Let’s use Rapunzel, the QUEEN of flowers, as our inspiration.
Who doesn’t love this classic Disney princess?
Calling all Tangled fans! As you may know, the beloved Disney movie is FILLED with flowers! There’s the iconic magic flower, but also plenty of colorful wildflowers in Rapunzel’s hair. What better way to pay homage to Rapunzel this Valentine’s Day than with a set of Tangled-inspired LEGOs? Let’s take a look at what’s available on Amazon NOW.
