food IS a theme park
Hello to all our DFB friends out there!
Polynesian Resort
We’ve spent a little time wandering around Disney World’s resorts to see what’s been going on since we were there last. So let’s get on with some updates, shall we?
Face masks have become a necessary accessory at Disney Parks, as well as just about everywhere else.
Disney Mask and Essentials
Since Disney World reopened last year, it has continued to update its face mask policies, but one thing has remained consistent: appropriate facial coverings have been required since then. And it looks like that policy won’t change for some time.
So Tax Day isn’t something we talk about a lot, because well, we’d rather talk about fun things like Disney World!
STK
So, yeah, we’d rather tell you about Disney World food, new merchandise, what’s new at the parks, and any other topic that is NOT about taxes. And yet, this year, you might have a reason to celebrate Tax Day after all!
Can you believe that Mother’s Day is almost here?
We’re at Roaring Fork trying another cupcake!
Disney World has already started celebrating Mom with a TON of new snacks, including a cupcake that gave us fashion advice, a cupcake with a shoe on it, and an unfortunate Sweeter than Roses treat! And we’ve been trying them all!
The past few weeks have been busy ones for Disneyland. Not only did the resort officially reopen, but Disney also let us know when Avengers Campus will open AND told us all about a planned expansion of the parks!

We also saw the reopening of Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel Resort & Spa, and as of today, we also know when Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel will reopen! That reopening date will happen on June 15th with limited capacity. However, something BIG will be missing from the hotel after it reopens.
Although MagicBands are no longer offered for free to select Disney World guests, they are still readily available in the parks and online!
MagicBands EVERYWHERE
And there are TONS of designs to choose from to represent your favorite Disney things: from the Muppets to Mickey-shaped food to favorite attractions and more! And select Disney guests — Disney Resort Guests and Annual Passholders — can nab some of these special designs at a discount!
One of our favorite Disney souvenirs is mugs. Because here’s the thing — they’re useful. You can use them for beverages (obviously), but they also make good places to put your pens, keep change in, keep other items in, etc. You can’t have too many Disney mugs!
Welcome to Germany
We’ve seen some super cool ones recently, too, including some awesome Starbucks Star Wars mugs, a matching family mug collection, a very happy Bao Mug, and a very cool Dumbo mug!
We’ve talked a LOT about Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew because, well, we cannot get enough of those over-the-top donuts! And they are constantly releasing new donuts.
There’s a reason we keep going back to Everglazed…
And let us tell you — we’ve had some doozies there, from the highly controversial Grilled Cheese Donut to a Peeps Donut to a Cinnamon Crunch Donut to a Thin Mint Donut! There have been a ton of wacky and wonderful flavors and we love trying them out!
The calendar might not say it’s summer yet, but the heat has us saying that spring is certainly over.
The Coca Cola Store is so cool
And Disney World certainly agrees with us because we’re already seeing summer merchandise making an appearance, and we’ve already tried some great summertime drinks, including a Cherry Blossom drink, a super neon drink, and a boozy Kakamora float.
We do our best to help you travel and budget for your Disney World trip, and one thing we love doing is giving you money-saving tips!
Cinderella Castle
Sometimes that means telling you about how to save money on souvenirs. Or maybe we’ll keep you updated on all the latest deals and discounts. And we love sharing all the freebies you can get at Disney World. Whatever it is, if it can save you money, we will share it with you!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
