food IS a theme park
Hello, DFB friends! We just visited Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
We tried some yummy marshmallows, looked at some new merchandise, and checked out the latest construction progress on projects at Disney Springs! So let’s get to the updates!
Disney fans have a variety of interests when it comes to collectibles, and Disney makes sure that they have plenty of merch to collect!
Pluto Collectible Key
From the new NuiMOs plush collection to pins to Minnie Ears to Dooney & Bourke bags, we consistently see Disney merchandise and collectibles selling out both online and in stores.
After Disney World reopened following its lengthy closure in 2020, it was a LOT different than it used to be! But even after being reopened for 6 months, we’ve seen a lot of changes at the parks!
Magic Kingdom
Some of the health and safety guidelines have changed, park capacity has increased, and there are now a LOT of long confusing lines. But that’s why we’re here: to make sure you don’t make the same mistakes we’ve made when visiting the parks in 2021!
We have been LOVING all the new Disney dog and cat merch we’ve been seeing released online and in the parks!
Disney Dogs Lanyard
We’ve seen some I Love My Disney Dog and Cat photo frames and some great dog and cat outfits, as well as very cool matching raincoats for humans AND their pets! And TONS more. Say wha?!
It’s almost Valentine’s Day!
Starbucks in Disney Springs
Romance is in the air and we’re seeing some very sweet Valentine’s Day things beginning to pop up at the parks. For example, Dooney & Bourke released a new Valentine’s Day collection and some VERY sweet Valentine’s Day Minnie Ears have shown up!
Walt Disney World is so much more than its theme parks!
Chip and Dale Golf Visor
People also travel all over the world to Disney World for shopping and dining, as well as golfing! Disney not only boasts two miniature golf courses, but it has four world-class full-size golf courses, too!
We’re already seeing a lot of big changes happening at Disney World in 2021!
Hall of Presidents
From Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure getting closer to opening at EPCOT to continuing updates from Disney on the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (aka the Star Wars hotel), a lot is already going on at the beginning of the New Year!
Disney really knows how to start merchandise trends — we should know because we’ve fallen for so many of them and have closets full of spirit jerseys, Minnie ears, and pins to show for it!
Pin Traders
But there are some trends that sunk their hooks into us, and we have to ask — did you fall for these trends, too? Let’s look at a few!
We saw a LOT of changes at Disney World in 2020.
Cinderella Castle
After seeing the parks close down completely and then reopen with new health and safety guidelines in place, we also saw some things at Disney World go away forever. 😢 We’re breaking down everything that went the way of the dodo in 2020!
Happy New Year, DFB Friends! We’ve been ringing in the New Year and getting ready for the EPCOT Festival of the Arts!
Everglazed Donuts and Cold Brew
But we’ve also been busy covering the opening of a brand new donut shop (OH, YEAH!) while tracking some menu updates at a few locations. So let’s get to the menu updates we have from this past week!
