food IS a theme park
Although Disney World began a phased reopening with Disney Springs, Disneyland still hasn’t released a statement about when it plans to start reopening the Downtown Disney or the parks.
An empty Downtown Disney
While there are currently no reservations available at Disneyland Resort until July 1st, Disneyland may be one small step closer to its own phased reopening plans with California’s recent announcement.
Each Disney snack has a special place in our hearts, buuuut you voted and ranked Dole Whip at the top of your lists!
Pineapple Dole Whip
Although we could eat three of them in the parks AND you can even make them at home from scratch, Dole Whips tend to see new twists throughout our time Disney. We’ve seen the Kakamora Float, lime Dole Whip, and even a Tajin Dole Whip (Spicy pineapple, anyone??). But, we spotted a new Dole Whip trend at a restaurant by our houses.
Disney Springs re-opened its third-party restaurants and stores, and we’ve been taking you all around property with us to get snacking!
Buffalo Fries with Freaujolais
We’ve visited one of the Happiest Restaurants on Earth (AKA Wine Bar George) to check out its new procedures AND stopped by its quick service spot, The Basket, to try one of their new Fries and Frozen drink pairings. But, if you think that our love for fries stopped there, think again!
Disney Springs began its phased reopening on May 20th to welcome guests back to its third-party restaurants and stores.
Morimoto Asia
Since there are plenty of new health and safety procedures in place across Disney Springs, restaurants are limiting capacity and implementing social distancing measures. And, while we gave you ALL the details on dining in Disney Springs, we’re back again for more food! But, this time, we’re heading to Morimoto Asia for some Japanese cuisine.
While you may collect Minnie Ears, Disney memorabilia, or other things from the parks, some of us have an entire attic full of old toys (guilty).
Churro Minnie Ears
And, even though it might seem easy to sell them during a garage sale, you might want to double-check how much those toys are worth!
Disney Springs has finally re-opened to guests so they can enjoy dining and shopping locations all around the property.
Disney Springs
While we’ve taken you with us LIVE to check out the reopening, given you the deets on new health and safety procedures, and our overall experience, it can be a little bit confusing to navigate Disney Springs right now.
Since Disneyland and Disney World originally opened, snacks have seen some MAJOR changes.
Mickey Ice Cream
While treats have come and gone, some of the most iconic snacks have stuck around for a while (thank goodness!). But, while you might recognize these treats as some of the best-known items in the Disney Parks, they have a bit of history you probably weren’t aware of!
Here at DFB, we love sharing all our tips and tricks on how to make your Disney World vacation extra magical.
Walt Disney World’s Epcot
But, even though we’ve practically become pros now, we’ve experienced a LOT of mishaps over the years. While part of the fun is the learning process, there are definitely some decisions we regret making during our own trips to the parks!
Disney Springs is back OPEN with places to shop and spots to grab a bite.
Pizza Ponte
While Disney-owned locations won’t be opening until May 27th, there are still SO many restaurants and stores that will be greeting guests again. Today, we’re making our way over to the newly-reopened Pizza Ponte to see how they’re handling the changes.
Whether you’re heading to Disney World to ride ALL the attractions or to go on some epic snack crawls, there’s a wide variety of things to do in the parks.
Happily Ever After
While we love seeing some of our favorite shows and hugging the characters, it’s pretty easy to get stuck in the same Disney routine as EVERY other guest. But, there are actually unique experiences that most visitors don’t see very often!
