food IS a theme park
Hey, guys! We’re back with another DFB Video and today we’re talking the HUGE week that just took place at Walt Disney World!
2019 Food and Wine Festival
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is now OPEN and the 2019 Epcot Food & Wine Festival has begun!
We’re a little less than one month out from the grand opening of Disney’s newest mode of transportation — The Disney Skyliner Gondola System. These gondolas will soon allow guests to take to the skies for a birds-eye view of Walt Disney World Resort while they travel to their next destination.
Hurricane Dorian Graphic 8/30/2019
Currently, a category 4 hurricane named Hurricane Dorian is on the move, inching its way closer and closer to Walt Disney World Resort. The Orlando Airport has already announced a closure, and Disney World itself has confirmed hurricane closures and cancellations as well.
So with such a significant weather impact potentially on the way to Orlando, this leaves us with this question, will the new Disney Skyliner System be able to weather the storm?
It’s almost time for guests to take to the sky with the new Disney Skyliner Gondola System!
Skyliner Gondolas
As guests prepare to take on this new birds-eye view experience, Disney is beginning to release a few fun pieces of Skyliner merch.
It’s time for another limited time cupcake at Sprinkles!!
Circus Animal Cupcake
We have already shared all of the cupcakes debuting for the month of August — but this yummy flavor took us by surprise. It’s also making us feel super nostalgic!
has been on a roll when it comes to the release of NEW Corkcicle colors. We’ve seen the Pineapple Corkcicle (which is sadly sold out!), the Neon Pink Corkcicle, the Neon Blue Corkcicle, and now they have released the new Gun Metal Silver Corkcicle!

And the best part about these cups? Your choice of a FREE Dole Whip Frozcato, Frosé, or Freaujolais!
Wow! Yesterday was a fun one. Not only did Galaxy’s Edge open but the Food and Wine Festival kicked off as well! Does it get any more crazy, exciting, and wonderful? Not often!
The Tree of Life
During all the madness of yesterday, we also decided to stop by Animal Kingdom as they were offering a few SECRET menu items for Annual Passholders.
We stopped by Oga’s Cantina this evening to give a few more drinks a try before wrapping up our Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Opening Day adventures!
Oga’s Cantina
While we were there, we started chatting with a few Cast Members to find that Oga’s Cantina has a huge, crazy, massively insane SECRET MENU ITEM!
is finally open to the public! And after all of the sweets we ate today, between the first day of the 2019 Food and Wine Festival and all the Star Wars-themed treats, we thought it was time to try something a bit more on the healthy side…
Two Suns Hummus
So, let’s dig into the Two Suns Hummus from Backlot Express in Hollywood Studios!
has officially opened and we’ve been reporting LIVE from the park throughout the day!
Disney World’s Galaxy’s Edge at Night
We have also been running around the World trying all the NEW Star Wars-themed treats. We have shared full reviews for the Red Velvet Kylo Ren Cake and Galaxy’s Edge Wookie Cake. But now it’s time to try a treat modeled after the “fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy!”
Hey, pals! What a crazy fun day it has been thanks to the grand opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios AND the start of the 2019 Epcot Food and Wine Festival!
Galaxy’s Edge Wookiee Cake
A few days ago we shared that Disney would be released a few Star Wars-themed treats to celebrate this iconic day. We’ve already shared our thoughts about the returning Lightsaber Churros and the Red Velvet Kylo Ren Cake, but now it’s time to sink our teeth into the Galaxy’s Edge Wookie Cake!!
