food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom
And, we’ve got plenty of updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
Boy have we eaten a LOT today in Disney World.
Rainbow Dome Cake
It’s the first day of June, which means we’ve been sampling all the Pride Month eats in the parks. That includes giant cake slices, Dole Whip cocktail flights, and so much more! But we’re not done just yet. Because we’re stopping for a refreshing pick-me-up in Magic Kingdom! [Read more…]
We’ve been closely following the situation with the Disney Cruise Line.

As the big debut of the newest ship, the Disney Wish, draws nearer, the Disney Cruise Line’s departures have remained suspended. However, the CDC recently announced requirements for cruises to resume under its Framework for Conditional Sailing Order, and we’re starting to see more progress.
Snacks all over Disney World have been getting a colorful makeover in honor of Pride Month!
Pride Donut
Just today we’ve tried a rainbow cocktail, a GIANT rainbow cake, a rainbow donut, and even a boozy rainbow Dole Whip flight (!!). So, at this point, we almost feel like we walked into the middle of a Skittles commercial at Disney World — there is a LOT of color going on here! But, we’re not done just yet!
It was recently Eat More Fruits and Vegetables Day, a day to celebrate healthy (but still delicious) food!
Dole’s Recipes for Courage and Kindness
To commemorate Eat More Fruits and Vegetables Day, Disney and Dole are partnering to release new, healthy recipes commemorating twelve Disney princesses! The collection, called “Recipes for Courage and Kindness,” was created by Melanie Marcus, MA, RD, the Dole nutrition and health communications manager.
We’re taking a trip to Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

And as usual, we’re bringing you the latest in construction, merchandise, and more. So let’s get started!
This year is Shanghai Disneyland‘s 5 Year Anniversary and Disney is commemorating the occasion with the “Year of Magical Surprises” celebration!

Along with new nighttime shows, new parades, and new costumes, Shanghai Disneyland has made another big announcement: new strollers!
There are quite a few construction projects going on around Disney World!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
One of those involves a massive transformation to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, which is getting reimagined rooms and a refurbished monorail station, lobby, and front entrance. We’ve been closely following this hotel’s progress, and recently, work took a BIG step forward!
Happy end of May!
Cinderella Castle
Last month was a BUSY one in Disney World: we saw big changes to mask policies, social distancing, park capacity, and so much more. But did you know that a weird weather situation was goin’ on, too?
Since Disney World reopened last year, we’ve seen the introduction of the Park Pass reservation system.
Cinderella Castle
Long story short: after you’ve bought your ticket for the day you’re visiting, you’ll have to make a reservation to visit the theme park you have in mind — subject to capacity restrictions, of course. And you don’t need us to tell ya that the whole system can sometimes be a bit of a struggle! But lately, a NEW Park Pass issue has popped up. Luckily, we’ve got a solution!
