food IS a theme park
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has served up some iconic drinks over the years, including the Lapu Lapu from Tambu Lounge, and of course the wide array of legendary libations at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto.

Over at Barefoot Pool Bar, however, we think we just discovered another drink to enter the Polynesian Hall of Fame, and it even came with a fun holiday twist!
Listen. 2020 has been a WILD ride. There have been times when even the animatronics wanna throw in the towel and fast-forward to 2021. We found something today that really brightened up our day, year, and possibly entire life.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
We wandered over to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to grab a cold one and take in the view of Seven Seas Lagoon. We expected it to be a typical day at the Poly with construction updates and possibly eat a new treat. We did NOT expect to be swept off our feet with the return of an INCREDIBLE coconut cup.
It’s not just the parks that get in on the seasonal fun in Disney World!

Fall is in full swing in Disney World! We LOVE seeing all of the new treats, character cavalcades, and decor in Magic Kingdom, and we wanted to see what spooky additions have made their way to the surrounding Resorts too! So, without further ado, here are all of the new food and merchandise updates from the Monorail Resorts!
Ah, Halloween season in Disney World. Is there a better time of year?

If you’ve been keeping up with DFB, you know we’ve been trying ALL SORTS of delicious Halloween treats in and around the Disney parks — and we’ve been jamming out to the spooky entertainment too! But, that’s not the end of Halloween fun. WAY more Halloween treats are coming to Disney World and we’re taking a first look!
Ah, a reopened Disney World. It’s weird to be back, but we’re excited to show you the NEW stuff we’ve spotted.
Monorail
We took a cruise around to all three of the monorail loop resorts to see if there’s anything interesting to tell you guys about. Without further ado, here are all of the updates in food, construction, and merch at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa!
It’s 4th of July weekend and you know what that means!
Barefoot Pool Bar
4TH OF JULY TREATS! Thanks to a reader, we just got word that one of our favorite patriotic cocktails from last year has returned! We’re heading over to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to sip on red-white-and-blue-est libation — the Uncle Slam!
Big news, everybody! We now know MORE about the return of our beloved Disney World restaurants!
Beaches and Cream
Disney World theme parks are set to begin a phased reopening on July 11th, but at the end of this month, signs of guest life will begin returning to Disney World. Disney Vacation Club Resorts and Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground will reopen on June 22nd. Now, Disney has released the list of ALL of the RESTAURANTS that will be opening that day!
Drinking around the World is one of our favorite pastimes, whether the sips are spiked or non-alcoholic!
Drinks
We’ve tried pretty much ALL of the frozen drinks in the parks. Although we love grabbing new things (and sharing them with you guys ;-D), we’ve found a few frozen sips over the year that have secured a special place in our hearts.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is almost synonymous with Disney World itself. As one of the original two hotels on property, this resort has stood the test of time and to this day remains one of the most popular resort hotels, despite the plethora of accommodations for guests to choose from.
Welcome to the Polynesian Village Resort!
One of the reasons so many people flock to the Poly is the FOOD! From quick-service snacks to a dinner show and knock-your-socks-off drinks the Polynesian offers some of the best-themed dining experiences at any Walt Disney World hotel.
There are SO MANY great options at the Poly so come along as we show you some of our FAVORITE food options around this tropical hideaway (you lucky people, you!).
