DFB Video: Disney World Food That Needs Some Explaining

Members of the six unions representing Disney World employees have voted no on a contract that Disney had positioned as its best offer. According to Unite Here Local 362, union members rejected the offer by a 96% margin. Disney World’s current contract with its unionized Cast Members expired October 1st, 2022. The Cast Members are working under a contract extension that will continue even after this week’s “no” vote.

The paid FastPass+ replacement service is key to skipping the lines throughout Disney World and it has evolved since it was first released. Genie+ selections can now be modified, just what is available through Genie+ vs. Individual Lightning Lanes has changed over the past few months, and new attractions are sometimes added to the service. But soon, an important perk will be added to the Genie+ service. Here’s what you need to know.

BIG changes are coming to Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom soon!. With the TRON: Lightcycle / Run opening date quickly approaching, Cast Members are making sure Tomorrowland is in tip-top shape before guests flock to check out the new attraction this April. We were at Magic Kingdom and saw a maintenance...

Jambalaya? Check. Po’ Boys? Check. Beignets? Check, check, check!. When guests visit Disney’s Port Orleans — French Quarter Resort they know they’ll find an array of Creole and Cajun dishes, snacks, and drinks. Apart from these staples, sometimes the resort has specialty dishes depending on the time of year. With February being Black History Month, Celebrate Soulfully is coming back to Disney World as the parks and resorts share special offerings as part of the celebration.

If it’s been a while since you’ve been to Disney Springs, we have all of the updates for you!. Disney World has been pretty busy lately with the closing of Splash Mountain, the upcoming changes to nighttime shows, and the upcoming grand opening of TRON Lightcycle / Run. While all of that has been focused on the parks, we can’t leave out Disney Springs! So today we’re going to catch you up on all things new happening in Disney’s shopping, dining, and entertainment complex.

One fan-favorite Disney World treat just got a seasonal update, and we’re heading to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to check it out!. Over at Woody’s Lunch Box, you’ll find eats like grilled cheese with tomato soup, totchos (tater tot nachos), and — of course — lunch box tarts! These are basically fancy pop tarts, but somehow they’re also so much more than that. Come along with us to try the latest flavor of lunch box tart, which arrived for Disney’s Celebrate Soulfully event.

LEGO couldn’t be left out of the Disney 100th anniversary celebrations, so they’ve decided to join in on the fun! We found just the Disney 100th Celebration merchandise that really knows how to stand out.

Well, February has arrived, and you know what that means — NEW food in Disney World!. We’ve already checked out Gideon’s Cookie of the Month (the Eternal Flame Cookie is back!). We also discovered one of our new favorite cakes in Disney World. We even had some AMAZING mac and cheese! But when we were perusing some goodies over at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, a certain MASSIVE donut caught our eye, so we had to try it.

There are TONS of new treats at the Disney parks right now, but you don’t have to travel far to get another seasonal fan favorite!. We’ve already checked out some new Disney 100th anniversary Happy Meal toys at McDonald’s, and there’s an entire collection of Loungefly bags themed to the popular fast food chain. Now, we’ve got another McDonald’s-related update!

February brought lots of tasty eats to Disney World as part of Disney’s Celebrate Soulfully event to honor Black History Month. But we’re not finished with the new treats yet. There are a TON of new treats coming to the Disney parks to celebrate Valentine’s Day. If you’ll...

Disney World is full of exciting entertainment, delicious snacks, thrilling attractions, and of course — CHARACTERS!. We just saw the return of Ariel at her Grotto in Magic Kingdom, and soon Belle will be back at Enchanted Tales with Belle, too. But, over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, a RARE character has been spotted out and about greeting guests — and we’re taking you with us to check it out!

Can you believe we’re already a whole MONTH into 2023?!. If you haven’t already started planning your Disney World vacation for this year, what are you waiting for? It’s going to be a BIG year in the parks with new rides, restaurants, and more coming soon. And, you can enjoy it all thanks to these Disney World hotel and ticket discounts you might find in February and beyond!

The Walt Disney World Railroad is back, TRON Lightcycle / Run is just weeks away from its official opening, Splash Mountain has CLOSED to become Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, and other updates are underway. But another massive change is coming to one of this park’s most popular restaurants and it’ll bring some price adjustments with it.

DOLE Whip creations in Disney World can be wonderfully delicious or, apparently, DANGEROUS. We have had all kinds of DOLE Whip treats over the years — DOLE Whip flights, a POG juice DOLE Whip float, and floats themed to characters you can’t even meet in Disney World. But Disney’s latest DOLE Whip option is one that may be dangerous for a very specific reason.

February has brought a LOT of new things to Disney World. This month marks Black History Month and kicks off Disney’s Celebrate Soulfully, which will bring new merchandise, special events, and new food, to the resort! So we’re heading to Disney’s Animal Kingdom to try one of these new food items!

Pause whatever you’re doing. If you love cakes and Disney World, there’s a snack you absolutely MUST see. Disney often has limited-time snacks available and now is no exception. Celebrate Soulfully is Disney’s way of celebrating “soul-inspiring experiences” and it gets a particular highlight during Black History Month in February. The event has actually brought a number of new snacks to the parks and resorts, and now we’re headed to one location at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter for an EPIC cake.

It’s true: Disney is for the hungry! It’s also for those with very adventurous palettes, as Disney is always introducing new snacks and desserts that are out of the ordinary, to say the least. Disney often combines multiple treats into single heavenly desserts, or they come up with new twists that somehow make classic desserts even better!

There are lots of hotels at Disney World, but did you know that Disney owns other hotels outside of the theme park area?. Down in Vero Beach, Florida, (about 2 hours southeast of Disney World), there’s Disney’s Vero Beach Resort. It’s a great place to visit if you’re looking for a vacation that’s a little more relaxed than the theme parks but still has a touch of Disney magic. If you’re planning to stay at this resort soon, you need to know about an upcoming pool closure!

It’s the dream of many Disney World fans to stay in the parks after they close and enjoy the rides, entertainment, and ambiance without the huge crowds. Guess what? That dream can actually come true!. If you’re willing to pay some extra cash, there are several different options you...
