food IS a theme park
Hello from Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge!

Although we love just hanging out here and oohing and aahing at the animals on the savannas, we also spent some time checking out what’s new at the resort. So here are the latest updates!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Tree of Life
And, we’ve got plenty of food, merchandise, entertainment, and transportation updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
There are HUNDREDS of great places to eat at Walt Disney World, and while many of those lie behind the gates of Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom, there are tons of spots you can dine at for a magical meal without having to step foot into a theme park. Disney Springs alone has over 60 dining options!
Disney Springs
It can be a LOT to try and navigate the best spots to dine at when visiting Disney World in general. And now, with Park Passes and shorter hours meaning you may not be in a theme park every day for every meal, knowing where to dine at Disney Springs or at one of Disney’s currently open resort hotels can be overwhelming.
Happy Holidays! We’ve been eating SO many holiday snacks at Disney World!
The Crystal Palace
But we’ve also been at every recent restaurant reopening and kept an eye on menu updates! So here’s what’s happened with Disney restaurants this past week!

We’re also checking in on the goings-on at Kilimanjaro Safaris and paying a visit to a certain returning AVATAR. There’s no time to waste, so let’s dive right in! [Read more…]
Did you even visit Disney World if you didn’t eat something Mickey-shaped?
Mickey Bar
There are SO many snacks in Disney World that resemble our favorite mouse from classics like pretzels to ice cream bars and we’ve even spotted a hidden Mickey inside of a cupcake! We tried another Mickey-themed treat today, and although it wasn’t shaped like Mickey himself, it totally honored him!
There’s really no way around it: a vacation to Disney World is pricey when you include flights, theme park tickets, accommodations, and of course all the spending that happens in the parks and resorts.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
Luckily, there are still a select amount of things that are still absolutely FREE in Disney World. And if you know about these things and use them strategically, you CAN end up saving a few valuable bucks.
Hello, DFB friends! We spent a day at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, as well as at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge!
