“Lyrics are simply stories set to music.” As Disneyland Resort debuted its reimagined Flag Retreat Ceremony on President’s Day, the stories of countless U.S. Armed Forces service members came to life. For the first time, the lyrics to each service branch’s anthem were sung out by the Dapper Dans, active-duty service members and veterans during […]View the full article

Disney and Pixar’s newest movie, Turning Red, is premiering on March 11th on Disney+! Turning Red ©Disney In honor of the premiere, Disney is celebrating Turning Red with some special offerings in Disney World, including some never-before-seen clips of the film in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and some limited-time foods in the parks. We tried a new drink in EPCOT today, and here’s what we thought! Now at the Canada Popcorn Cart in EPCOT, you can try the Pand-Ade, a coconut-pomegranate lemonade with pomegranate boba pearls for $6.50. This drink will be available from March 1st to May 31st. Why Canada? Mei Lee, the main character of Turning Red, is Chinese-Canadian! Pand-Ade! This drink is served in a plastic Turning Red souvenir cup, and we really enjoyed it! The creaminess of the coconut and the tartness of the lemonade and pomegranate create this sweet yet refreshing combo. Looks tasty! The coconut flavor is really prevalent, so you really need to like coconut to enjoy this drink. There are also a good amount of boba popping pearls, so keep that in mind if you’re not a fan of that sensation. See all the boba pearls! If you’re into coconut and sweet fruity drinks, this is one you’ve got to try! On a warm spring day, this would be the ultimate refreshing drink to sip. Yum! Check out the Pand-Ade in action below! You can get a really good look at the number of boba pearls you get. Visit the Canada Popcorn Cart in EPCOT to try the Pand-Ade, and don’t forget to check out Turning Red on Disney+ on March 11th!

We may be in Disneyland Resort, but we’re not here for our normal old churro review or seasonal treat check-in. Instead, we’re back for the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival! It’s been a busy time around here lately; in Disney World, the Flower & Garden Festival just started, but now it’s time for Disney California Adventure to shine! Who’s hungry? We’re back this time to take a look at the Pacific Wharf Cafe! This isn’t technically one of the official Food & Wine Festival booths, but there is a special item on the menu during the festival. The Pacific Wharf Cafe is a fun little quick-service dining location known for bread bowls, sandwiches, and shrimp rolls! Hello from the Pacific Wharf Cafe! During the festival, guests can also check out a limited-time snack! Menu Currently, guests can order Avocado Toast at the Pacific Wharf Cafe. 2022 Pacific Wharf Food and Wine Festival item Avocado Toast is one of those things you can eat pretty much any time of day — it’s a versatile little snack! Eats Avocado Toast is sort of a CA staple, so we’re so happy to see this on the menu! It’s made with Smashed Avocado on Toasted Sourdough Bread, Fire-roasted Cherry Tomatoes, Mozzarella, Cilantro, and Balsamic Reduction for $7.99. Avocado toast from Pacific Wharf The balsamic reduction is definitely the strongest flavor present here, with not much flavor being added by the avocado. The toasted sourdough is the perfect delivery system for all the toppings and was delicious! We thought this was a tasty and fresh dish! The mozzarella and cherry tomatoes with balsamic reminded us of a Caprese salad, but the addition of the cilantro made the toast taste really fresh. We did think it could have used a little salt, but we’d definitely get this dish again! Overall Stop by the Pacific Wharf Cafe if you’re an Avocado Toast LOVER! Our meal was light, fresh, and delicious. Be sure to keep following DFB; we’ll be checking out all the booths at this year’s festival.

Hello from the 2022 Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival. We’ve been trying out all kinds of delicious eats, but now we’re after one special drink! California Adventure Food & Wine Festival Cocina Cucamonga is getting in on the festival action. This quick service dining location is serving up a special drink just for this year’s fest — let’s check it out! Menu Don’t worry — you’ll still be able to order the full menu at Cocina Cucamonga during the Food and Wine Festival! Cocina Cucamonga But they added a NEW drink to the menu for this occasion. Cocina Cucamonga Menu Let’s check out the Strawberry Horchata! Drinks You can get regular Strawberry Horchata at this location for $5.99. This is a house-made rice and cinnamon beverage with strawberry sauce on top. But you can also add spiced rum to the drink! The alcoholic version is $14. Strawberry Horchata with Spiced Rum We thought this drink was pretty good. It essentially tastes like chilled milk with a hint of cinnamon. We did order ours with rum, and we couldn’t really taste the alcohol. We could feel the kick from the rum, but there wasn’t a lot of extra flavor from it. Strawberry Horchata The strawberry sauce tasted like artificial flavoring, so that wasn’t our favorite. If you love creamy, milky drinks, this might be perfect for you! But it felt a little too heavy, especially after we’ve been trying some lighter and more refreshing drinks at this festival. Overall If you love horchata, this is a fun and fruity twist on the original. It was a little too heavy for our taste, but we think that it’d be a great choice if you want a sweet and filling drink! It’s available now through the end of the festival on April 26th, so hurry on over if you want to try it. And don’t forget to stay tuned to DFB for more Disneyland food news.

The Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival is back for 2022 (we missed it!). So far this year, we’ve already enjoyed some amazing snacks and treats during the Disney Lunar New Year Festival, but now it’s time for a new event to take over Disney California Adventure! We can’t wait to see what’s new! In addition to all the new festival-exclusive food booths set up around Disney California Adventure, a few other Disney locations are serving special treats! Now, we’re headed to the Avengers Campus to see what there is to eat. The Pym Test Kitchen and Pym Tasting Lab are two relatively new food locations in Disney California Adventure that serve pretzels, sandwiches, salads, and more! Also nearby, you can stop at the Terran Treats snack cart. Pym Test Kitchen For the DCA Food & Wine Festival, all three of these places have some special items on the menu! Menu At Pym Test Kitchen, the special item available just for the Food & Wine Festival is the Elote Pretzel. And honestly, just looking at the menu, our mouths are watering! 2022 Pym Test Kitchen Menu — Elote Pretzel Specialty Item The Pym Tasting Lab right next door is offering some new Snack Molecules! (Which is basically a fun popcorn mix.) 2022 Menu Also nearby is Terran Treats, which is home to the Raspberry Spiral Ration this year. It’s a churro in disguise! Terran Treats Food and Wine Festival Menu These little food locations tend to have some tasty snacks, so we’re hoping the new treats live up to the hype! Eats The Elote Pretzel is a 5-ounce Pretzel topped with Corn 3 ways, Cilantro Sprigs, Radish, Cotija, and Flavored Crema. You can try it for $10.49. We enjoyed this one quite a bit with its plethora of toppings! The three types of corn are creamed, baby popcorn (so cute!), and regular corn kernels. The flavored crema has a little kick to it, so keep that in mind if you’re not into spicy things. As a bonus, it came with a lime on the side, so squeeze that thing to your heart’s content! Elote Pretzel Additionally, the Snack Molecules consist of Mini Pretzels, Honey-roasted Peanuts, and Popped Sorghum with Spring Flavors. This assortment of treats is $6.50. The “spring” flavors in the popcorn were lemon and strawberry, and we even found some little pieces of honeycomb cereal in ours. It was a pretty tasty mix, and it would be great for those who want those summery fruit flavors. Snack Molecules But what about that Raspberry Spiral Ration? It’s $6.25 and made with a yellow spiral churro topped with berry compote. We have to say…this was SO yummy! The actual churro has a very light raspberry flavor, but the sugar is regular sugar. The topping is basically pie filling, and we’re certainly not complaining about that! Raspberry Spiral Ration Altogether, it makes a very fruity and delicious treat. We give it two thumbs up! Overall Is Avengers Campus a winner when it comes to Food & Wine Festival food? We think so! We enjoyed everything that we ate here at the three different locations, but that pretzel and the Raspberry Spiral Ration were the real standouts. Between the two, you’ve got a little bit of sweet, a little bit of savory, and a little bit of spicy — the perfect combo if you ask us. Who knew that we’d be enjoying the eats that didn’t even come from a festival booth so much?! Stay tuned to DFB as we continue to traverse the Food & Wine Festival, and keep following along for all the Disneyland Resort news.

Welcome back to the 2022 Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival! We’re heading to a booth now that has a very promising name: D-Lish! 2022 Sign There are all kinds of booths at this festival, including one devoted to artichokes and another that’s all about berries! Let’s check out D-Lish and find out if the dishes here live up to the booth’s name. Menu Every item on this year’s D-Lish menu is NEW! So we’ll be trying everything to let you know which ones are worth the money (and stomach space). 2022 D-Lish Booth You’ll find potato puffs, sliders, and a couple of drinks at this booth. 2022 D-Lish Menu Let’s dig right in and check out the food. Food First up, we’re trying the Black & Tan Beef Potato Puffs, served with Karl Strauss Wreck Alley stout gravy and lager microsponge. Say that three times fast! You can get this meat-and-potatoes snack for $8.50. Black and Tan Beef Potato Puffs We thought these potato puffs were amazing. The meat was SO tender and flavorful, and the gravy was nice and rich (like a pot roast gravy). The tots underneath were nice and crispy, and they soaked in the juices and became even tastier. So good! The other food item available at this booth is the Cubano Slider, available for $7.50. This sandwich is made with slow-roasted, mustard-crested pork and sliced smoked ham with melted Swiss cheese and a pickle slice. It’s served on a Hawaiian roll. Cubano Slider We thought this snack was really tasty! The pork was nice and tender, but the smoked ham seemed kind of like normal lunch meat that you can get at the grocery store. It’s a great option for kids because all of the flavors are very familiar. Drinks New food, new drinks, who could ask for more? We tried the Central California Cooler, a non-alcoholic drink made with peach, apple, orange, and lemon juices! You can get it for $6.50. This drink was really refreshing. The blend of fruit juices tasted very fresh, and it was the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Central California Cooler If you’re not ready to sip your way into summer, the Chocolate Marshmallow Cold Brew Cocktail for $15 might be for you! This coffee cocktail is made with Irish Whiskey, Joffrey’s Mexican Origin Coffee, chocolate syrup, almond milk, and toasted marshmallow. Chocolate Marshmallow Cold Brew Cocktail This cocktail was a little too strong for our taste. Coffee was definitely the dominant flavor in this drink, so you have to be a big coffee fan to enjoy it! The marshmallow topping was good, but it was very sweet. Overall If you’re coming to this booth, don’t skip out on those beef potato puffs! The Cuban slider is a great choice for little kids, and we also enjoyed the Cooler. Although the Cold Brew Cocktail was a little too strong for us, we think that people who REALLY love coffee will enjoy it! Some eats from the 2022 Food and Wine Festival at Disney California Adventure! D-Lish is serving up some DELISH items! Be sure to stay tuned for more festival booth reviews.

Disney Princesses might have captured our imaginations, but Disney villains have stolen our hearts (in the Evil Queen’s case, that’s quite literally). It’s good to be bad These villains make being bad look good, and we just can’t get enough of them. We love seeing them come out for Halloween events and we’re really looking forward to celebrating these wicked characters at Disneyland’s returning After Dark event Villains Night. We’re also looking forward to the villainous snacks we’ll be able to enjoy — and now, we have a full list of ALL of those treats. Sure, you’ll be able to see a cabaret of Disney villains, sing along with Ursula, attend an Underworld Dance Party, and meet some of Disney’s most wicked characters, but you’ll also get to enjoy some treats exclusive to the Villains Nite Event at Disney California Adventure. At Smokejumpers Grill, you can try the Spicy Chicken Sandwich for $13.29, made with Spicy Breaded Chicken Breast, Green Chile, Monterey Jack, Chipotle Mayonnaise, Bacon, Pickled Habanero Peppers, and Spicy Cheese Puffs on a Toasted Bun, topped with a Sweet Piquanté Pepper and served with Waffle-cut Fries or Onion Rings.

We’ve been making our way through the 2022 Disney California Adventure Food and Wine Festival! And we’re about to visit one of the booths we’re MOST excited about. Time for Food & Wine! If you know us here at DFB, you know we take cheese very seriously. We’ve been enjoying all kinds of cheesy delights at this festival, including some amazing bacon mac ‘n’ cheese and the cheesiest hot dog available. But now we’re taking things to a new level by heading to the Nuts About Cheese booth! We’re pretty sure Disneyland created this booth just for us. Menu This year’s menu includes three new snacks and a fun new cocktail! 2022 Nuts About Cheese Booth We’re definitely intrigued by that Peanut Butter and Jelly Mac. Nuts About Cheese Menu We loved this booth at past festivals, so we can’t wait to dig in this time. Food First up for new food items at this booth is the Peanut Butter & Jelly Mac with brown sugar streusel and strawberry crackle! Yep, you read that correctly. PB&J MAC! And for $8.25, who wouldn’t want to try PB&J Pasta?! Peanut Butter & Jelly Mac with brown sugar streusel and strawberry crackle We think everyone needs to try this snack at least once in their life. It probably wasn’t the most delicious thing we’ve had at this year’s festival, but it’s up there for the most unique. The sauce on the pasta reminded us of pad Thai peanut sauce, and the flavors worked together better than we thought they would. It was more savory than we expected it to be since the focus is on the peanut flavor rather than jelly. The strawberry-flavored pop rocks were a little bit excessive, but they definitely make it more exciting! A little strange, but we dig it. Also available (and new!) at the cheesy booth this year is the Next Level Crackers & Cheese for $8. This is house-made herb crackers with white cheddar-infused fromage blanc, spicy prosciutto spread, and cherry jam. Next Level Crackers & Cheese We LOVED this snack. The flavors were all really interesting, although nothing was too unfamiliar. That creamy white cheddar cheese was fantastic. The sweet cherry jam went well with the cheese and prosciutto, and the crackers were crisp and fresh. Next Level Crackers & Cheese For all the dessert lovers out there, you can try the SNICKERS Caramel-Peanut Milk Chocolate Mickey Macaron. SNICKERS Caramel-Peanut Milk Chocolate Mickey Macaron This is a chocolate Mickey macaron filled with caramel ganache and SNICKERS pieces, available for $6.50. YUM This dessert is delicious! It tastes just like a great macaron filled with Snickers flavors. There’s a good balance of caramel, peanuts, and chocolate, and the filling textures were perfectly smooth and creamy with a delightful crunch from the peanuts. Drink There’s only one drink available at this booth, but they made it a fun one! The Spicy Honey-Apricot Cocktail is made with Rye Whiskey, apricot, orange, lemon juice, spicy honey syrup, and bitters. You can get this drink for $14. Spicy Honey-Apricot Cocktail We thought the spicy cocktail was really interesting! It definitely had a kick (you can really taste the cayenne pepper), and the honey came through nicely as well. Overall, we really enjoyed this drink! Overall This booth definitely has some of the most interesting food at this year’s festival, and that’s not a bad thing! We enjoyed everything we ate, although the macaron and crackers & cheese dish were our favorite items here. Kids will probably love the idea of PB&J mac and cheese, and the flavors in that snack were not as strange as we thought they’d be! In general, we were absolutely right to be excited about this booth. It’s a great booth! If any of these menu items sound great to you, head on over to the festival before it ends on April 26th, 2022! Make sure you check back here for more festival updates.

We’re wining and dining our way around the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival for the FIRST time since 2020! It’s been so long that we can’t wait a moment more; let’s dive right in! Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival This is the Food and WINE festival, so you KNOW Disney had to include a wine-themed food booth! Now that we’ve got some food in our bellies, let’s head over to the Uncork California festival food booth and see what there is to eat. The Uncork California booth has been known in the past to serve mainly drinks (shocker, right?), but in the last couple of years, we’ve started to see some snacks show up on the menu as well. 2022 Booth This year, we’ve got some new and returning menu items to try! Menu This year, Uncork California is upping its snack menu with not one, but TWO snacks! There’s the returning Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch for $6.50 and the NEW California Artisan Cheese Selection for $8.50. 2022 Menu Of course, the reason you’re probably here is for the WINE! In 2020, there were several wine flights, plus a mimosa trio available. This year, the Tropical Mimosa Flight (available for $16) is made up of ALL new mimosa flavors! The drink menu also has a selection of California wines, including a Pinot Grigio from Josh Cellars, Pinot Noir from Meiomi Wines, and Merlot from Sebastiani, to name just a few. Eats The new California Artisan Cheese Selection is made up of Habanero Jack and TomaProvence cheese. The whole plate costs $8.50. Altogether, it’s a pretty standard platter, but the cheese is the highlight! California Artisan Cheese Selection: Vella Cheese Company® Habanero Jack and Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company’s® TomaProvence We actually really enjoyed the two kinds of cheese that were chosen here. The Habanero Jack was pretty spicy, but also very creamy and smooth at the same time. The TomaProvence was a much harder cheese with an herby flavor. Together, they make a good contrast, and you’ll feel extra fancy when you pair them with your wine. Looks yummy! For dessert, the Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch, available for $6.50, is a chocolate-hazelnut mousse topped with chocolate-hazelnut glaze and a gold leaf. When you take a first glance at it, it doesn’t look like much, but like many things…it’s what’s on the inside that counts. Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch What do we mean? Well, it’s basically a gigantic Ferrero Rocher candy. The mousse in the middle was incredibly smooth and there are a few whole hazelnuts inside for an added crunch. We quite enjoyed this dessert, and those of you with a sweet tooth will probably want to add it to your lists! Chocolate Hazelnut Crunch After eating our two treats, it was time to move on to the drinks! Drinks We tried the Tropical Mimosa Flight for $16. Our flight contained a sampling of the Passion Fruit & Banana Mimosa, the Green Apple & Lychee Mimosa, and the Cherry, Yuzu & Ginger Mimosa. First up, we tried the Green Apple & Lychee Mimosa. The green apple flavor is stronger than the lychee, but the main flavor here is champagne. There’s a great balance of sweet vs. sour, and the bubbles aren’t overwhelming. We thought it was really delicious! Tropical Mimosa Flight The Passion Fruit & Banana Mimosa is a really…interesting flavor combination. Both fruit flavors are really subtle, but the weird thing is that the passion fruit had a stronger taste while the banana had a stronger smell. It was honestly a confusing experience for our senses. And the champagne made it just the tiniest bit bitter. And finally, the Cherry, Yuzu, & Ginger Mimosa had a strong ginger taste, but the cherry flavor that we tasted in the background reminded us of cough syrup. We could barely taste the champagne, and we honestly wouldn’t have known it was a mimosa without the bubbles. Overall So what were our thoughts on this booth overall? The cheeses and the Chocolate Hazelnut crunch were both delicious, and make a good pairing of food to have with your drinks. The drinks here were a little on the unusual side, but we actually quite enjoyed the Green Apple & Lychee Mimosa. This would be a fun booth to visit with your friends, ordering everything on the menu and trying different food and drink combinations. There’s a little bit of something for everyone!

It’s not uncommon for Disney to CHANGE rides for a limited time! Disney California Adventure Particularly during the holiday season, we’ve seen Disney World and Disneyland Resort rides get special overlays, like the Jingle Cruise or Haunted Mansion Holiday. But starting today, one Disney California Adventure ride got some changes for the Food & Wine Festival!

From March 4th-April 6th, you’ll once again be able to soar over the orange groves of Disneyland’s home state.

The Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival is MADE for people who are looking for a taste of California while in Disneyland. We’re trying the food, we’re trying the wine (obviously), and we’re shopping along the way, too! There’s a LOT to cover, so let’s get into it! Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival is BACK! With a name as cute as”Berry Patch,” we’re already excited to see what’s available. We’re expecting to be berry impressed (sorry, not sorry), so let’s check out the menu! In 2020, the Berry Patch booth served some sweet treats and even sweeter drinks. This year, we’ve got THREE new items to check out. 2022 Booth It’s like a whole new booth this year; fingers crossed we find some winners at the Berry Patch! Menu The menu has two snacks and one specialty beverage available, and you already know we’re here to try them ALL! First up, there’s a Strawberry Cheesecake for $6.50. Or, if cheesecake isn’t your thing, check out the Blueberry-Buttermilk Pie for $6! 2022 Menu We’d like to personally thank the genius that came up with the concept of dessert cocktails. This year, you can try a new Cherry-Chocolate-Mint Dessert Cocktail for $15. To enhance your drink, there are also some Glow Cube Charms available for an additional $5.50. Eats The new Strawberry Cheesecake is made with Lemon Chantilly. It was $6.50, and photographs pretty well, don’t you think? Unfortunately, it let us down a little bit in the taste department. Strawberry Cheesecake with Lemon Chantilly It’s not very sweet at all, and we had a particularly hard time tasting the lemon in the chantilly. We were hoping for a little more graham cracker crust as well, because it took two bites to even get some on our spoon. However, the positive is that the cheesecake itself was very smooth and had a great texture. Strawberry Cheesecake with Lemon Chantilly We also tried the Blueberry-Buttermilk Pie for $6! And honestly, we thought this was one of the BEST items at the entire festival. All the flavors and textures just blended really well together to create the ultimate treat. Blueberry-Buttermilk Pie It’s incredibly fresh and the sweet and tart flavors are well-balanced together. The texture was just right — not too mushy or chewy. And the pie crust really brings it all together nicely…it wasn’t so crunchy that it was hard to bite. Blueberry-Buttermilk Pie But what about if you want something to drink? Well, they’ve got options for that too! Drinks The Cherry-Chocolate-Mint Dessert Cocktail is made with Vodka, crème de menthe liqueur, cherry, chocolate syrup, coconut cream, and heavy whipping cream. It’s pretty expensive at $15, but we thought it would be a great item to split between multiple people. Cherry Chocolate Mint Dessert Cocktail Why is that? Well, it’s a LOT. It’s very chocolatey and very minty, and those flavors can be a bit overwhelming. There’s the smallest hint of cherry, but the drink is SUPER sweet overall. The whipped cream and chocolate on top were a nice touch. By the time we were a few sips in, we realized that there’s a very slim chance that one person could finish this on their own! Overall So what was our overall impression of this booth? Well, if you go here and only get one thing, make it that Blueberry-Buttermilk Pie! It was the standout item here, and we would eat it again and again. The other two treats are a little less exciting, but still worth a shot if you’re a particularly big fan of their ingredients. Full Booth Spread If you’re looking for a fruity little treat and love berries, this is the booth for you. It’s definitely worth a visit on your next trip! Be sure to stick around; we’ll be checking out ALL the booths at this year’s festival. And stay tuned to DFB for the latest in Disney food news and updates from Disney World and Disneyland Resort.

We love trying unique snacks at Disney World, but sometimes we gotta take it back to the basics! Passion of My Life Treat! While we love exploring all of the food options the parks have to offer, like this St. Patrick’s Day inspired poutine, or this super photogenic dessert, sometimes we just need good ol’ fashioned theme park food. We tried this classic treat over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios recently, and it did not disappoint! This Chocolate Covered Apple from the Trolley Car Cafe in Disney’s Hollywood Studios was just the staple theme park dessert we needed! It had a green apple covered in milk chocolate with chocolate covered marshmallows forming Mickey ears, and a Butterfinger crumble around the bottom. It’s pretty much the apple version of our favorite Butterfinger Cupcake with a few missing components, of course! Chocolate Covered Apple in Hollywood Studios! We have a love hate relationship with apples like these. They are mega yummy but they are so hard to eat!! When it comes to this apple, the milk chocolate was smooth, and was a sweet contrast to the tartness of the green apple. The marshmallows were also a nice change in texture from the apple. The Trolley Car Cafe! We loved the crunch of the Butterfinger around the bottom! It reminded us of a less-healthy version of the classic apples-and-peanut butter snack! Chocolate Covered Apple! The chocolate did melt pretty fast, and we kind of wished that there was a layer of caramel under the chocolate to further compliment the Butterfinger, but this was an all-around solid candy apple that we were excited to try in the parks! Let’s cut into this apple! If you want your hands to stay clean, you might want to consider another treat in Hollywood Studios, but if you love chocolate, apples, and peanut butter, then give this snack a try! You can find it at Trolley Car Cafe for $10.99. We’re always staying up to date on all the latest in all things Disney Parks, so stay tuned to DFB for more!

Disney Springs is full of fantastic restaurants and shops with unique offerings that you can’t get inside the Disney parks.

Disney has been pushing to make the parks more environmentally friendly over the last few years. Disneyland Resort They’ve announced a ban on single-use plastics throughout the parks, and we’ve even seen some compost bins instead of trash cans around.

This fest is full of fun, eats, and of course — amazing festival merchandise! Some eats from the 2022 Food and Wine Festival at Disney California Adventure!

We LOVE all of the different Minnie ear headband designs and styles available! How can you choose just one?! Disney has dropped dozens of pairs of Minnie ears over the past year — from Valentine’s Day ears to Alice in Wonderland ears, to even U.K. Pavilion floral ears! And now, another pair of World Showcase Pavilion-themed ears has been spotted in Disney World — let’s check them out. The Limoncello Minnie Ears have arrived in Disney World! These Italy Pavilion-themed ears had been previously spotted in Disneyland, but now they’re located in their namesake pavilion! The Limoncello Minnie ears are here! We spotted them in La Bottega Italiana for $29.99. They feature blue velvet fabric on the headband, plus bright yellow sequins all over the ears — and of course, a big blue and yellow patterned bow in between! But, our absolute favorite parts about these ears are the little details! There’s an adorable little lemon charm with a Mickey silhouette on the bow, and the side of the headband reads “Saluti!” which is Italian for “cheers” or “greetings.” Saluti! You can say “greetings” to this new pair of ears on your next trip to EPCOT in the Italy Pavilion! Don’t forget to stay tuned to DFB for more updates and news on Disney merchandise!

Get ready for tons of scrumptious snacks and delicious drinks, because the 2022 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival has officially opened! California Adventure Food & Wine Festival This event boasts more than a dozen Festival Marketplaces (AKA food booths) around the park, with more limited-time offerings at certain restaurants like Pym Tasting Lab and Terran Treats in the new Avengers Campus. You can find small plates of specialty foods and sip on new drinks around the park — but which eats and drinks are actually worth trying? And what else is there to do during this event? We’re heading inside NOW to find out! Follow along with us here, and we’ll update this post throughout the day as we continue on our Food & Wine adventure. Festival Dates Before we dive into this event, you need a couple of key details — like how long the festival will last! The California Adventure Food & Wine Festival runs from March 4th through April 26th, 2022. Some of the booths opened a little early, but now they’re all open and available for guests. 2022 Booth If you’re visiting this park within that time frame, you’ll be able to test out the new (and returning) offerings! Food and Drinks There are plenty of snacks and drinks to try out this year. In addition to 13 Festival Marketplaces, several restaurants around Disney California Adventure and Downtown Disney are offering specialty Festival items. Be sure to check out our page that has the full list of booths and menus! See the full list of offerings at this year’s Food & Wine Festival here. We stopped by each marketplace to see what was new and munch on old favorites. Avocado Time At this booth, you can find an Avocado Impossible Burger and the intriguing Frozen Guacamole. And don’t forget to try the Ruby Grapefruit Sparkling drink! Okay, color us intrigued We thought that frozen guacamole was actually really delicious! We know it sounds a little strange, but it was super refreshing while still being savory. If you’re a big fan of guacamole, this is a can’t miss for you! Click here to read our full review of Avocado Time. Berry Patch This spot boasts a couple of new treats, including a Strawberry Cheesecake and Blueberry-Buttermilk Pie. For a dessert drink, you can test out the Cherry-Chocolate-Mint Dessert Cocktail.Full Booth Spread The desserts here are very tasty, especially that Blueberry Buttermilk Pie! And if you’re a fan of sweet drinks, the cocktail is definitely serving up some strong flavors. Our review for this booth is coming soon! California Craft Brews This is the place to find all kinds of beer, hard seltzer, and hard cider. In addition to several on-tap beverages, there’s an IPA Sausage Dog on a soft pretzel roll to pair with your drink. Hot dog and brews And boy are we glad this sausage arrived on the menu this year! All of the flavors work well on it, and there’s so much melted cheeeeeeese! Click here to read our review of California Craft Brews. Cluck-A-Doodle-Moo If you visit Cluck-A-Doodle-Moo, you’ll find wings, a French Onion Beef Tenderloin Slider, and some options for beer and lager. Cluck-A-Doodle-Moo Spread The wings were one of our favorite items here. They’ve got a subtle ranch taste and super tender meat! There’s a new Blackberry-Lavender Lemonade as well, but be warned — it’s only for the biggest lavender fans! Click here to read our review of Cluck-A-Doodle-Moo. D-Lish This booth has Beef Potato Puffs, a Cubano Slider, and a couple of cocktails on the menu. Spread Those potato puffs taste as fun and delicious as they sound (spoiler alert: potato puffs means tater tots), and the slider was tasty as well! There’s a cold brew cocktail at this spot, but we don’t think it’s for everyone. Check out our review (coming soon!) to see if you’d love it. Full review coming soon! Garlic Kissed You’ll probably smell Garlic Kissed before you see it, and that’s not a bad thing. Follow your nose to find the new Grilled Top Sirloin with smashed potatoes and the returning Carbonara-Garlic Mac & Cheese. Garlic Kissed Spread If it’s possible, we think we love that mac ‘n’ cheese even more this year than we did last year. But meat lovers can’t go wrong with the top sirloin either! Click here to see our full review of Garlic Kissed. Golden Dreams This booth has several new items, such as a Honey-Orange-Glazed Salmon Salad and Mango-Carrot Gazpacho. To drink, try out the new Orange-Honey Cold Brew or Pineapple-Tiki Bitter Cocktail. Golden Dreams Spread That gazpacho has to be one of our favorite eats at this year’s festival! All the food here is bright and beautiful, and the taste truly lives up to the looks. (Except for that cold brew, which we thought was a little bit odd.) Click here to see our full review of Golden Dreams. I Heart Artichokes You’ll never guess what’s available at I Heart Artichokes. You can get some Chicharron-crusted Fried Artichoke Dip (which sounds amazing) along with Artichoke Toast. And there’s a new Passion Fruit Rum Cocktail on the menu to wash those dishes down. I Heart Artichokes Items We’re gonna let you in on a little secret with this booth: the best thing here isn’t the artichokes at all! First prize definitely goes to that Passion fruit cocktail. Click here to read our full review of I Heart Artichokes. LA Style This place has more new offerings, such as the Glazed BBQ Pork Belly mac salad and a Gyro-inspired Flatbread with Impossible Ground Beef. A couple of drinks (including a Mezcal Margarita) are available here as well. LA Style Spread This booth was full of ups and downs for us. The pork belly was FANTASTIC, but we weren’t fans of that mezcal margarita. You’ll have to read our review (coming soon!) to find out which of these items will be winners for you! Full review coming soon! Nuts About Cheese One of the most exciting booths (in our humble opinion) is Nuts About Cheese. This spot has Peanut Butter & Jelly Mac, Next-Level Crackers & Cheese, and the Snickers Mickey Macaron! The new Spicy Honey-Apricot Cocktail sounds delicious as well. Nuts About Cheese The PB&J mac is not the best thing we ate, but we kind of think everyone should try it at least once for the experience, you know? All the rest of the offerings here (and especially that Snickers macaron!) were seriously delicious! Full review coming soon! Peppers Cali-Ente Puns aren’t the only thing on the menu at Peppers Cali-Ente. You can also get a Chili Relleno Empanada or the Ají de Gallina. And don’t forget the returning Cantarito-style Poblana drink! Our spread from Peppers Cali-ente If you’re looking for a LOT of flavor, this is the place to be! But are they too spicy for your palate? Check out our full review for more taste notes on these items. Click here to read our full review of Peppers Cali-Ente. Uncork California This booth has some classically Cali dishes, like a cheese selection and chocolate-hazelnut mousse. This spot is also where you’ll find a LOT of wine options as well as a few tropical mimosas. Uncork California Spread The cheese plate was fairly standard, but that mousse was like a giant Ferrero Rocher candy! YUM! Full review coming soon! Paradise Garden Grill We’re rounding out the list of Festival Marketplaces with Paradise Garden Grill, which has a lot of specialty items for this year’s festival. Paradise Garden Grill You can try Brisket Fries, Char Siu Ribs, an Impossible Gyro, Jerk Chicken, Beer-battered Fish Tacos, and Strawberry Shortcake here. You can wash it all down with a Bourbon-Strawberry Lemonade or a Mexican-style Lager. Full review coming soon! Entertainment Disney confirmed that live entertainment and music would be part of the 2022 Food & Wine Festival in this park, but they didn’t release a full line-up of the artists. But now that the festival has begun, we know that some of the performances at the Palisades Stage will include The Filharmonic, Midnight Hour, Phat Cat Swinger, and The Tina Aldana Band. There will also be performances at the Paradise Garden Bandstand, including the Island Reggae Band and Urban Music Society. Entertainment at Food & Wine We also know that the Jammin’ Chefs and a few of their Disney pals will be returning this year!

Merchandise No Disney event is complete without some new merchandise to honor the occasion. We saw a sneak peek of the new items earlier, but now we’ve seen a LOT more. We’ll get you pics of all the new items here soon! Food & Wine Tumbler There’s one item that you can get at several of the festival booths around this park — reusable cutlery! Reusable Cutlery A set of a knife, spoon, and fork, all made from bamboo costs $10.75. They also come with a blue carrying case. Discounts If you love the Sip and Savor Pass, you can rest easy knowing it is available at his year’s Festival.

All-Star Sports Resort is Reopening Ever since Disney World first began the reopening process in summer 2020, we’ve seen the hotels reopen one by one. After a year and a half, all but one have resumed operation. But not for long! All-Star Sports Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort is the last on the list to reopen, and it’s opening its gates to guests starting March 31st. We can’t wait to have every Disney hotel back again, and we’ll be there on the big day to cover all the news straight from All-Star Sports. One Hotel is Getting Some Big Refurbishments And speaking of hotels, across Disney World property, another one is getting some major refurbishments. At Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Big Pine Key (Building 9) is closed temporarily to be transformed into Disney Vacation Club villa rooms. 1-Bedroom Villa ©Disney Construction began March 1st, and the project is set to be completed this summer. We’ve already seen the concept art of these new rooms, and they look gorgeous! Click Here to Learn More About the Refurb! Annual Passholders Get Some Bonus Perks If you’re a Disney World Annual Passholder, then we’ve got good news for you!

Click Here to Learn More About the Passholder Perks at Disney Springs! Festival of Fantasy Is Coming Back!

We know that many guest will be excited to have this full-scale offering return. We can’t wait to see this parade again! Festival of Fantasy will start daily shows on March 9th, and according to the schedule on the My Disney Experience app, we’ll be getting TWO showtimes each day! For the first week of its return, the parade will happen at 11:30AM and 2:30PM, then it will switch over to 12PM and 3PM after that. (Keep in mind that these showtimes are subject to change, so check the times guide on the day of your visit.) Another runDisney Event is Happening What’s one of the best ways to keep fit during your Disney World vacations? With runDisney races of course! At the end of this month, the runDisney Springtime Surprise will take place from March 31st-April 3rd. This brand-new race weekend will features a 5K, a 10K, and a 10-mile race. ©Disney If you’re feeling extra ambitious, you can choose to participate in all three to earn the Springtime Surprise Challenge medal. If you’re a regular guest, just note that these races may impact crowd levels in the park and traffic patterns around Disney World property in the mornings. Click Here for All the Details on the New Race! Crowds Will Be Heavy And speaking of the impact of crowds…you should expect heavy crowds in the month of March. The next six weeks or so is the Spring Break season for many schools around the nation, and that means that thousands of guests will flock to Disney World for their week off. Crowds in Disney World During this time, the parks will be extra busy and wait times will probably be longer than usual. We recommend having a plan for what you’d like to eat before you go into the parks — you may need to place your Mobile Orders for food early in the day so that those windows don’t run out. Just be patient if you’re visiting soon and go in with a game plan on what you’d like to prioritize during your visit! Click Here to See What Holiday Weekend Crowds Were Like in Disney World!
