Wait, wasn’t it just Halloween yesterday? We’re not sure how this happened but somehow it is already MARCH…WHAT?! Downtown Disney! Okay, we’ve checked our calendars a million times, and yes, we can confirm it is officially March. We may have just started the month, and some of you may still be experiencing winter weather, but Disney is moving on to spring and Easter! Today, we spotted a whole bunch of spring-themed treats at Downtown Disney. If you’re looking for some Insta-worthy sweet treats, we’ve got just the things. We spotted these Easter treats over at Marceline’s Confectionery in Downtown Disney. There were cake pops, apples, and some other items. We’ve seen these in the past. But, we couldn’t resist grabbing a few today to see what they taste like this year and if they’re must-gets. Spring Treats First, we grabbed the Chick Cake Pop. Again, this is a treat we’ve had before, but we gave it another try this year. The treat is made of a vanilla cake pop with white chocolate coating and marshmallow wings. Before we talk about taste or anything, we just have to say — HOW CUTE IS THIS?! Look at those tiny little eyes and wings. AH! A Little Chick!! Okay, okay, let’s talk about the taste. The cake in this treat was actually very moist and had a dough-like consistency. It was wonderfully sweet and quite good! We Had to Do It We think fans of vanilla cake and people looking for a SUUUUPER cute snack will really like this. Sorry Little Chick, You Were SO Cute But We Had to Eat You BUT this snack is VERY VERY small. It’s sort-of hard to tell in photos (especially when they’re close-up), but here’s a peek at a this snack on its stick. You can see the size of our reporter’s hand versus the tiny chick. SOO Tiny At $5.49, this treat is VERY pricey considering its size. You could easily get a much larger treat for the same price or just a few cents more. There’s no denying it’s cute, but if you’re looking to get a good bang for your buck, this isn’t it. Next, we went for a larger (and much more difficult to eat) treat — the Minnie Easter Basket Apple. Again, this is a design we’ve seen in the past. The treat is made of a Granny Smith apple with caramel & white chocolate coating, marshmallow ears, and a white chocolate bow. Minnie Easter Basket Apple — So Cute! This apple was VERYYY sweet. We think that’s largely due to the multiple layers of white chocolate on it. You can see just how thick that white chocolate is in the bite below. The sprinkles on the bottom are cute but they added an extra level of difficulty when it came to eating the apple. It’s Going to Take a LOT of Effort to Bite Into This! Overall, we thought this was a pretty standard Disney caramel apple. If you love those, then you’ll probably really enjoy this. Also, if you are a BIG white chocolate fan, we have a feeling this is something you’ll love. But, there’s no denying these beauties can be quite difficult to eat. If you’re all about snacks that are supremely easy to eat, this might not be a good choice for you. Such an Insta-Worthy Treat Though! You can try it for yourself for $11.99. Finally, we grabbed a Bunny Crisped Rice Cereal Treat today. These are treats we’ve seen at Disneyland before too. The Bunny is made of a rice krispie treat with white chocolate, and a marshmallow tail with coconut shavings on top. Bunny Crisped Rice Cereal Treat We thought this treat was REALLY yummy! There wasn’t that much coconut on the tail. So, if you’re not a big coconut fan, don’t let that deter you. The white chocolate was super sweet though. We wish there had been something else in this treat to balance the flavor. YUM! But, if you love white chocolate and treats that are SUPER sweet, this might be a good choice. If, on the other hand, you like food with a bit more of a salty-sweet balance, this probably isn’t for you. At $5.99 though we felt this was the best value of the 3 Easter snacks we tried today. What themed snacks will we find next? We’re on the lookout for more special, themed treats around Disneyland and Disney World. Stay tuned for more updates and reviews so you can see whether you should try these treats! Click here to see an ICONIC Disneyland snack you can only get once a year!

An iconic treat returned to Disneyland Resort today! Fudge Easter Egg Disneyland Park is typically home to a BELOVED treat this time of year. Easter is coming up, and that means we have a hankerin’ for the HANDMADE chocolate fudge Easter Eggs that tend to grace our presence. We were nervous we wouldn’t get to taste them this year due to the park closure, but we don’t have to worry anymore! We were exploring Downtown Disney today when we popped into Trolley Treats to check out the latest sweets. Doth our eyes deceive us? No! It really and truly is the Handmade Fudge Easter Egg! Fudge Easter Egg These eggs are typically made by Disney chefs at Candy Palace on Main Street, U.S.A., so we are THRILLED to see them available here. In the past, we’ve seen flavors like chocolate, peanut butter, vanilla-nut, and chocolate-nut. The egg we snagged today was vanilla! Fudge Easter Egg These treats are pretty self-explanatory, but that doesn’t mean they’re not amazing. You’re looking at vanilla fudge coated in milk chocolate and topped with a little candy flower! Fudge Easter Egg No surprises here, but it was great! This is a legendary Disneyland treat (so, of course, it gets some bonus points). We thought the fudge was super fresh and not too heavy or chewy. We’re looking forward to trying out the other flavors too! Fudge Easter Egg You can find the Handmade Fudge Easter Egg at Trolley Treats for $9.99.

Face masks have been a common part of everyday life for about a year now. DFB Alien TOUR Tee and Face Mask As one of the most-recommended defenses against the spread of the global health crisis, masks are required all over the country and world — including in the Disney parks. Now, an official consumer standard for face masks has been developed. According to Good Housekeeping Institute, the American Society for Testing and Materials has developed a standard that helps consumers make smarter face mask purchases and brands determine that their coverings are effective before selling them. Gideon’s Face Mask Up to this point, there has been no standard for face mask effectiveness which makes it a lot harder for consumers to know if a face mask works. Now, brands will be able to apply testing to new face masks to show consumers that their disposable and reusable masks are up to standard. Festival of the Arts Mask The new standard, F3502−21 Standard Specification for Barrier Face Coverings, covers mask leakage, filtration, breathability, and labeling. It does not cover any antimicrobial or antiviral claims or respirators and medical face masks. Pandora Face Masks Standard developer and President of International Personal Protection, Inc. Jeffrey Stull noted that the standard recommends a nonwoven filter either built into a cloth mask or inserted into a pocket. Single-layer cloth face masks are not as protective as those with nonwoven filters. Alternatively, layering a nonwoven disposable mask under a cloth mask can improve effectiveness. Purple Wall Mask On the leakage front, masks should have a secure fit without air escaping around the edges. Basically, all breath should flow THROUGH the mask, not around. Beyond that, the standards note that masks have a shelf life, and the more wear and tear they have, the less effective they are. Minnie Mouse at a Temperature Check So, how can YOU know if the mask you’re purchasing is up to standard? Look for the wording, “Meets ASTM F3502″ on the product. Keep in mind that the standard is fairly new so it may take some time for brands to test their masks and apply the standard. Wishes Come True Face Mask Standard developers also noted that they hope to evolve the standard over time as new information becomes available and they want to build a database with approved masks. Together Again Face Mask We will certainly be keeping an eye on the Disney masks to see if they are tested to fit in this standard.

We’re trying some brand-new donuts at Disney Springs today! Everglazed We’re BIG fans of the eats at Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew. This trendy new spot just opened in 2021, but their creative sammies and coffee/donut combos are WINNING in our books! And today, we headed over to try 2 new treats: the Chocolate Paradise Donut and the Red Velvet Cake Donut. Let’s start with that Red Velvet Cake Donut! It’s your typical glazed donut — but with a red velvet flavor — and costs $4.50. Red Velvet Cake Donut We immediately noticed that strong red velvet flavor — if you’re a red velvet fan, you may thoroughly enjoy it! Other than that, it’s your everyday donut. Not too much goin’ on with this one! But it’s definitely worth mentioning just how RED this guy is on the inside. That’s some bright pigment right there! Look how RED it is! The Chocolate Paradise Donut was WAY richer! It costs $5.50, and it’s a chocolate donut with chocolate frosting, chocolate chips, and a chocolate wafer. WOW. That’s a TON of chocolate. Chocolate Paradise Donut Surprisingly, the frosting had the strongest flavor and texture — it was almost like chocolate frosting straight out of a can. Plus, the combination of all that chocolate was SUPER sweet. Let’s get a close-up of all those toppings! Due to how rich this treat is, it may be hard to finish all in one sitting! Pro tip: it makes a great shareable snack. And all you chocolate lovers out there will definitely wanna try this one. Look at ALL that chocolate! Both of these donuts will likely be the perfect snack for fans of sweet treats! We’ll keep checking back for more new Disney desserts, so stay tuned to DFB! Check Out Our Full Everglazed Review!

In the beginning of 2021, we learned about SO many new things in Disney World! Spaceship Earth We felt like January had a year’s worth of announcements in one month, but February looked a bit different! We had our fair share of big news, but mostly there were lots of little (and exciting) things that were announced this month. We’re taking a look at 15 new things we found out in Disney World in February! 1. 50th Anniversary News Can you believe that this year is the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World?!? It’s crazy to think about, but this month, we learned a lot more about what the celebration will look like. First of all, it is going to last until 2023! Disney announced the celebration will begin on October 1st, and last an entire 18 months! ©Disney Parks Blog For the celebration, all 4 of Disney World’s park icons will be getting a makeover! Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom will be getting some gold bunting and a 50th anniversary crest. Disney says the castle will have a glow that will “sparkle like pixie dust.” We can’t wait to see the castle go through yet ANOTHER makeover! ©Disney In EPCOT, Spaceship Earth is getting a permanent new look! There will be new lights shining across the reflective panels on the park icon. Disney confirmed that this new look will be around even after the celebration is over! ©Disney Tower of Terror will act as the icon for Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and it will get some “special new touches” as the Hollywood Tower Hotel glimmers with EARidescence. We love the new word, Disney! ©Disney Last but not least, the gorgeous Tree of Life will get a new look also. A warm light will surround the Tree of Life as enchanted fireflies dance around it. That sounds incredible! ©Disney Minnie and Mickey Mouse will also debut some special new costumes! When describing the costumes, Disney also used the term EARidescent, and we couldn’t agree more. ©Disney We can’t wait to see what the 50th anniversary celebration will be like! We’re going to have to wait until October 1st, but we know time will fly by. We’re Going to Be Celebrating Disney World’s 50th Anniversary in 2023?! 2. 2022 Bookings are Available On February 16th, Disney World opened up booking for trips through ALL of 2022! If you are looking to travel to Disney World in 2022, you can book your vacation now. It may seem way in advance, but this gives you plenty of time to plan. Cinderella Castle Vacation packages (which includes a Disney World resort hotel and tickets), tickets-only, or room-only bookings are available. Tickets can be purchased through the end of 2022 at this time, but vacation packages and hotel rooms cannot. 2022 Bookings Hotels that do not have a reopening date are still marked as unavailable. We’ll keep watching this closely and let you know about any updates! Should I Book a 2021 or 2022 Disney World Vacation? 3. Park Passes are Likely Sticking Around For Some Time Park Pass Reservations have been available and mandatory since the parks reopened in July. These reservations help control how many people are in the parks, and availability tends to fluctuate a lot. When 2022 bookings opened up, we noticed that Park Pass Reservations were available into early 2023, so it looks like this system could be in place for quite some time. MagicBand Scanner You can currently book Park Passes until January 14th, 2023. However, if this is the first day of your vacation, you can actually book a trip that goes into mid-January. ©Disney Things are constantly changing in Disney World, so maybe these Park Pass Reservations will disappear by then. Right now, though, it looks like they will be staying around for a bit! Disney World Park Passes Now Available Through Early 2023 4. Face Mask Updates for Eating in Disney World Speaking of changes, face mask policies have gone through TONS of changes since Disney World reopened. The latest change involves dining in Disney, and we’ve already been able to test it out. Masks are required! The new policy on the Disney World website states that when dining at a restaurant, guests must wear face coverings while standing, waiting, or sitting in dining locations. That means that the only time guests are permitted to remove masks is while they’re actively eating or drinking. Face Masks Before, guests were allowed to remove their masks and keep them off for the duration of their meal. With the new policy, guests will have to keep their mask on unless taking a sip of their drink or a bite of their food. Face Mask Signage The day after this update was announced, we headed to 50’s Prime Time Cafe in Disney’s Hollywood Studios to see what the new experience was like. When we were seated, the Cast Member thanked us for wearing our mask, and asked us to keep it on unless we were actively eating or drinking. 50’s Prime Time Cafe There were a couple of times where our server came up to us in between sips, but they did not say anything. We also noticed a family nearby did not remove their masks until drinks were brought to their table. Everyone seemed to be following the new rule as far as we could tell. Just having lunch with Van Dyke…no biggie. We still have not seen any signage about the rule, and we were only asked once. Overall, it did not affect our dining experience very much at all. Disney has been strict about most of their face mask rules, so Cast Members might become more strict as the rule becomes more established. Here’s Our Experience with Disney World’s New Restaurant Mask Policy 5. Masks Expected to be Required Until 2022 In Disney World and around the world, face masks have become an essential when going anywhere. And according to Dr. Fauci, they aren’t going away anytime soon. Disney also shared that they anticipate that masks will be required through 2021. Face Mask Policy at Disney World Dr. Anthony Fauci, the Chief medical advisor for COVID-19 for President Biden previously said that he believes that hopefully by the time we get to July, there will be enough vaccinates for virtually everyone. He has also shared that if about 85% of the US population is vaccinated by the end of the summer, we could return to some normalcy in the U.S. by the end of the fall. Festival of the Arts Mask Dr. Fauci has indicated that Americans may still be wearing masks outside of their own homes a year from now. This means that masks might still be a necessity in 2022. He mentioned that he would only feel comfortable to stop recommending face masks until there is “virtually no threat.” Germany Pavilion Crowds Dr. Fauci also said “If you combine getting most of the people in the country vaccinated with getting the level of virus in the community very, very low, then I believe you’re going to be able to say, for the most part, we don’t necessarily have to wear masks.” Masks May Still Be Needed in 2022 According to Dr. Fauci 6. A New Hotel Near Disney World Opened Flamingo Crossings Town Center is a new shopping and dining district located right outside of Disney World property. This month, one of the hotels at Flamingo Crossings officially opened! Flamingo Crossings Town Center Concept Art ©The Walt Disney Co. | Obtained via BizJournals The Homewood Suites by Hilton Orlando Flamingo Crossings is now open to guests! This is a great area to look at hotels for those of you who want to stay off-property. The hotel has several different rooms available including a studio suite with 1 king bed and a full sleeper sofa, and a 1 bedroom suite with 2 queen beds and a full sleeper sofa. The rooms also generally include a kitchen with full-sized appliances, TVs, and more. ©Homewood Suites by Hilton The hotel is also pet-friendly, offers free breakfast, has a pool, and has other amenities for guests to enjoy. In regards to Disney World, it’s about a 14-minute drive to Disney’s Animal Kingdom! ©Homewood Suites by Hilton ALSO this Homewood Suites is considered to be a Disney World “Gateway” Hotel and can be booked as part of a Disney ticket and room package straight from the Disney World hotels website. The Disney World website doesn’t specify that guests at this hotel will receive Disney hotel perks as some of the other hotels at Flamingo Crossings do, but it does note that there is an on-site Disney Planning Center at Flamingo Crossings to help plan your trip. ©Homewood Suites by Hilton Some other hotels at Flamingo Crossings are already open, but lots of stores and restaurants are set to open in the next few years. ANOTHER New Hotel is Opening Soon Near Disney World 7. Soul of Jazz Exhibit Debuted in EPCOT February is Black History Month, and there were several ways to celebrate in Disney World! One of the most exciting additions is the Soul of Jazz Exhibit in EPCOT which inspired on the latest Disney/Pixar film, Soul. The Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure The focus is on the history of jazz and there are a lot of artifacts from jazz musicians. The Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure You can even see a REAL trumpet played by the Louis Armstrong! The Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure You’ll see plenty of instruments and sheet music that let you learn about the history of jazz music. You can even participate in trivia on the Play Disney Parks app! EPCOT’s New Soul Exhibit is Officially Open 8. Liberty Belle and Tom Sawyer Island Reopened After what felt like forever, the Liberty Belle and Tom Sawyer Island reopened from their scheduled refurb a little early! Liberty Belle The Rivers of America was drained for quite some time, but guests can now ride the Liberty Belle around the river again. Rivers of America from the Liberty Belle The boats obviously could not run to and from Tom Sawyer Island when the river was drained, but because it refilled, guests can head back to this hidden gem in Magic Kingdom. Tom Sawyer Island Reopening Even though other attractions like the Mad Tea Party are now under refurbishment, we’re glad to see these two attractions open again! Visit Disney’s Reopened Tom Sawyer Island With Us 9. EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival Menus Released With the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival around the corner, it’s about time we got some information on the menus for the food booths! We’ve already learned about the entertainment and topiaries coming to the festival, but these menus have us super excited for this year’s festival! Three Caballeros Topiaries There are TWO new booths this year including the EPCOT Sunshine Griddle and EPCOT Farmer’s Feast. The first booth will feature food items like Avocado Toast, Shrimp and Grits, Corned Beef Brisket Hash, and Fried Cinnamon Roll Bites. The second of the two will have a “Rotating Menu,” so we’ll have to see how that works when the festival begins! We can expect to see items like Spring Onion Soup, Duck Confit, Off the “Beet”en Path, and Hibiscus Lemonade Cocktail. ©Disney Festival Favorites is new to Flower and Garden, but we’ve seen it at previous EPCOT festivals. The menu will include Watermelon Salad, Beef Brisket Burnt Ends and Smoked Pork Belly Slider, and more! http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Beef-Brisket-Burnt-Ends-and-Smoked-Pork-Belly-Slider-2018-Epcot-Flower-and-Garden-Festival-smokehouse-woody-topiary-450x600.jpgBeef Brisket Burnt Ends and Smoked Pork Belly Slider with Garlic Sausage, Chorizo, Cheddar Fondue and House-made Pickle After being gone for a year, Cider House is making its grand return with boozy drinks like 3 Daughters Brewing Pink Lemonade Hard Cider, Bold Rock Watermelon Hard Cider, and others. The food here includes House-made Potato and Cheddar Biscuit with Salmon Tartare and a Dark Chocolate Raspberry Tart with Whipped Cream. Cider House Booth 2017 There are many returning booths that we love as well, including Magnolia Terrace, The Honey Bee-stro, Lotus House, Funnel Cakes, Hanami, and more! Check out the FULL menus for the 2021 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival! 10. Two Major Disney World Projects Are Hiring In preparation for Disney World’s 50th anniversary there are lots of construction projects going on all over property. Two highly anticipated projects just recently posted that they are hiring, which could indicate that they are getting closer and closer to opening! Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Construction First of all, the Star Wars: Galactic Starcrusier is currently hiring! It’s currently set to open this year, but there has been no official date released yet. But, could this mean we are a huge step closer to the grand opening? ©Disney via IAAPA Expo 2020 Presentation Disney is currently searching for a Hotel Services Director for Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser, and notes that the individual will “lead and implement a unique immersive two-night experience aligned with our Star Wars franchise.” Hopefully this means we’ll get that opening date soon! ©Disney The other project that is currently hiring is Space 220 in EPCOT! Located near Mission: Space, this restaurant will fully immersive guests into an outer space world while they dine. And now, the restaurant is looking for an Executive Pastry Chef! Space 220 Restaraunt Art Print In the past, we’ve seen job listings for a Front of House Manager, a Restaurant Manager, and a Bartender. This unique dining spot was originally supposed to open in late 2019, then it was pushed back to 2020 after they lost their executive chef. ©Disney via IAAPA Expo 2020 Presentation We still haven’t heard about an opening date, but the fact that these two locations are hiring is exciting! How YOU Can Live on Disney’s Private Island! 11. Castle Projections and Fireworks Testing (!!!) During the month of February, we’ve seen a good amount of testing on both Cinderella Castle projections and fireworks! Thanks to our reader @jambohailey on Instagram, we were able to witness fireworks testing from EPCOT. We’ve seen fireworks coming from Magic Kingdom before, but we don’t usually see testing from this park. At the beginning of the month, we could see testing on Cinderella Castle from Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. The colors were mostly red the entire time, which made us think something was happening for Valentine’s Day. Turns out, it was likely to celebrate the Super Bowl winners who were there a few days later! Projection Testing From Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Disney has yet to announce the return of a fireworks show or nighttime spectacular. PHOTOS & VIDEOS: Every Time Disney World Tested Fireworks Since Reopening 12. Cinderella Castle Construction If you want to take that iconic pic in front of Cinderella Castle, your photos are gonna look a bit different. The castle is currently under some maintenance that affects both the stage and moat surrounding the castle. Cinderella Castle Stage The stage, as you can see, has been stripped down revealing the wood that’s usually underneath a different floor. We’ve been told that this is all routine maintenance, and nothing happened that caused Disney to have to do construction. Cinderella Castle Stage There are signs up that say “Please Pardon Our Pixie Dust” on the fence. Pardon Our Pixie Dust A little bit ago, we noticed that the moat started to drain, and now it is completely empty. Cinderella Castle Moat We saw construction equipment working on this maintenance. MAJOR work is being done around the castle. Hopefully the stage gets put back together and the moat fills up soon so those gorgeous castle pics can get back to normal! Disney’s Cinderella Castle Construction Saga Continues 13. The 3rd Harmonious Barge Has Arrived Harmonious in EPCOT is said to be one of the biggest nighttime spectaculars Disney has ever created. The show continues to progress, because the MASSIVE centerpiece barge has been placed in World Showcase Lagoon! Harmonious Centerpiece This piece of the giant puzzle is over 6-stories tall and will support a high-density water curtain, moving lights, fountains, and more. Harmonious Barges The next day when we visited, the centerpiece had already gotten an upgrade with giant arms! Harmonious Barge We are still expecting two more barges to come out on the lagoon, but this third one is supposed to be the biggest one. The Latest Addition to EPCOT’s New Fireworks Show is MASSIVE! 14. Portillo’s Near Disney World Opening Postponed Recently, large fast-food chains have started opening locations in or near Disney World. We’ve had a McDonald’s for a while, but White Castle and Portillo’s are currently being built. This month, Portillo’s announced that their opening would be postponed. ©Portillo’s Portillo’s announced its Orlando location in 2019, and it was set to open on March 2nd of this year. On February 24th, Portillo’s stated “We’re finishing up construction of our new restaurant and need to postpone the original opening date of March 2nd. Portillo’s thanks everyone for their patience and will be sure to share a new opening timeframe as soon as possible.” ©Portillo’s It looks like we’ll have to wait just a bit longer to try out Portillo’s! The restaurant did not announce another opening date after postponing the original. Portillo’s Postpones Its Opening Near Disney World 15. EPCOT’s Rose and Crown Restaurant is Under Refurb We see attractions go under refurb all of the time, but restaurants need a little TLC, too! On February 15th, the Rose and Crown Dining Room temporarily closed. Rose and Crown The refurbishment is said to go until early spring, so we don’t have an exact date for when this restaurant will reopen. The Rose and Crown Pub and Yorkshire County Fish Shop are still open, so you can still grab a beer or fish and chips! Learn more about the Rose and Crown Restaurant Refurb Wow! Disney sure did pack a good amount of exciting news into February!

We are just DAYS away from the start of the 2021 Taste of EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival and the park is getting ready for all the festivities. EPCOT Flower and Garden We’ve already seen some topiaries out, spotted a NEW Festival garden, gotten the FULL list of all of the food booth menus, and more! Today, as we walked around EPCOT we spotted something new — menus for some of the food booths were up WITH PRICES! So, you now can start budgeting your plans to eat “around the world” at the Flower & Garden Festival. First, we found the menu and prices out at the NEW Sunshine Griddle booth. This is where you’ll find dishes like Avocado Toast, Shrimp & Grits, and FRIED cinnamon roll bites with CANDIED BACON! Sunshine Griddle Menu This booth appears to be taking over the spot of the former Donut Box booth. But, the Donut Box menu and sign was still on the physical booth itself when we passed by today. The Donut Box — the Future Home of Sunshine Griddle As we walked around EPCOT, we also found menus out for Jardin de Fiestas. This booth includes options like the Tostada de Cochinita, Sopa de Chorizo, and a Passion Fruit Margarita. Jardin de Fiestas Menu We also spotted a menu out for the Trowel & Trellis booth presented by Impossible. Here, you’ll be able to sample some Grilled Street Corn on the Cob, a Boneless Impossible Korean Short Rib, and more. Trowel & Trellis Planning on stopping by Bauernmarkt Farmer’s Market for some potato pancakes and warm cheese strudel? Well, here’s a look at the full menu for this booth and the prices too. Bauernmarkt Looking for Cajun-style Roasted Oysters and Pecan Cake? Then Magnolia Terrace is a spot you’ll want to look at. Magnolia Terrace Menu Along our walk, we also spotted the menu for La Isla Fresca, where you’ll find dishes like Lamb Curry and Tropical Mousse Cup. La Isla Fresca Taste of Marrakesh also had its menu out. This is where you’ll get to sample some Moroccon Seafood Couscous, Shakshuka, and more. Taste of Marrakesh During our walk, we also found a sign for the Garden Graze Food Stroll. If you complete this stroll and get the 5 items specified, you’ll get a FREE treat! Garden Graze We expect that more food booth menus with prices will be up tomorrow, since the Festival begins on March 3rd. We’ll keep an eye out for more updates and let you know what we see. In the meantime, be sure to visit our page with ALL of the menus, food photos, and more. And you can print out our FREE DFB checklist for the Festival here to start planning your trip!

We had an EXCELLENT morning today. Why? Because we started with sweets! Gideon’s Bakehouse Okay, maybe it’s not the BEST idea to start your day with cake and cookies, but we aren’t complaining. If you’ve been keeping up with the Disney dessert news lately, then you’ve probably heard a LOT about Gideon’s Bakehouse. Well, they don’t call these the best cookies ever for nothin’! Gideon’s Bakehouse officially opened in Disney Springs at the beginning of this year and it has been mega-popular ever since. The virtual queue for the cookie-based spot can be HOURS long. AND there’s a limited-edition cookie every month. March Menu March’s cookie is the PB Chocolate Swirl for $6 and yep, it’s a peanut butter and chocolate lover’s dream. Get ready for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups to never taste the same again. We actually got to try this sweet at the grand opening and LOVED it, so we’re pretty pumped to taste it again. PB Chocolate Swirl Cookie This cookie is a combo of peanut butter dough swirled with triple chocolate dough. Add chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and house-made candied pecans and we’re already drooling. PB Chocolate Swirl Cookie This cookie was VERY chocolatey but we loved the sea salt and yummy peanut butter chips. It definitely had Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup vibes but it was way, way better. PB Chocolate Swirl Cookie Now listen very closely because we’ve got a COOKIE HACK! Snag a tub of the Peanut Butter Buttercream for $1.50 when you check out. Dunking the PB Chocolate Swirl is this deliciousness really ups that peanut butter game If you tend to like peanutty flavors more than chocolatey ones, this is a must-do. PB Chocolate Swirl Cookie with BUTTERCREAM DUNK You don’t really think we’d go to Gideon’s Bakehouse and just get one thing, do you? We also snagged a slice of the Chocolate Everything Cake for $9. Gideon’s Bakehouse Spread This cake is made with a chocolate cake base, and mounds of chocolate buttercream. Plus, their triple chocolate cookie is placed on top AND all throughout the cake. Chocolate Everything Cake Slice As you can imagine, this slice was sooooooo rich. It was definitely amazing, but it was hands down one of the richest chocolate cakes we’ve ever tried. A bite might feel like enough dessert for the day! Chocolate Everything Cake Slice And we picked up the White Cold Brew for $6. We’ve given some of the other flavors (like that AMAZING Peanut Butter Cold Brew) a try, so we were excited to give this one a sip. White Cold Brew This coffee was yummy, but probably our least favorite of the coffees we’ve tried at Gideon’s. It was tasty but not NEARLY as interesting as that PB Cold Brew or the Ginger Snap Cold Brew. White Cold Brew Overall, we’re not sure there’s been anything at Gideon’s Bakehouse that we outright didn’t like. If you want to try any of the items we snagged today, head on over to the Disney Springs location! Keep in mind, the cake slices DO rotate and the PB Chocolate Swirl Cookie will only be around through the end of the month.

It’s ALWAYS a good time for Poutine, isn’t it? The Daily Poutine And that’s why it’s such a good thing that The Daily Poutine in Disney Springs always serves up this beloved Canadian dish, along with a few twists on the classic. Most recently, we tried the (totally unexpected) Butter Chicken Poutine. But today we’re back to check out the Bangers Poutine to see how it stacks up! Bangers Poutine serves up Pork Bangers Sausage, Stout Gravy, and Cheddar with an Onion Marmalade… all atop, of course, that signature bed of thick-cut French Fries! It’s $9.99 for the dish. Bangers Poutine It reminds us a bit of the Oktoberfest Poutine, which features bratwurst and sauerkraut. But here, those are switched out for the bangers and onion marmalade. And the visual effect is… Bangers Poutine Weeeeelllll, it is what it is! But here’s where things get good… Our Poutine was made-to-order, so the fries were incredibly fresh. As you can tell (and as we LOOOOVE), they did not go light on that Stout Gravy! We also appreciated how the flavor of the stout comes through in the rich, delicious gravy. And the onion adds a nice hint of sweetness to the pork and gravy, too, helping to lighten up what is otherwise a pretty heavy dish. Bangers Poutine One change we’d suggest? MORE CHEESE!! Of course, you’d probably already guessed that, if you know us over here at the DFB. But seriously, the cheddar curds served on the classic Poutine (instead of the shredded cheddar) would’ve amped up the Bangers Poutine quite nicely! Bangers Poutine That said, this dish is seriously substantial and tasty — perfect for the savory snackers this St. Patrick’s Day season! Yep, in case you hadn’t heard, S. Patrick’s Day is pretty much a season in Disney World… and we’ve already tried a treat or two! Stay tuned for more! Click here for a Disney treat that delivers the Luck O’ the Irish!

We’re kicking off Women’s History Month in Disney Springs! Amorette’s Patisserie The brand-new “Celebrate HER Story” event will last all through March, and it’ll spotlight talented women with stories to tell. We’ve already seen some signs advertising the event, and we even tried the first of several themed snacks. But now, we’re back with another new treat! We found Women’s History Month Flancocho in Amorette’s Patisserie and just had to give it a taste! It’s a chocolate-based flan topped with a tiny macaron, madeleine, dried strawberry, AND caramel sauce. Not to mention, it’s decorated to order. Check out how stunning the presentation of our treat was! Gorgeous, right?! Right off the bat, the chocolate base and vanilla custard were both VERY rich. It was almost overwhelming — we think the chocolate could’ve been eliminated completely. We also weren’t huge fans of the dried strawberry! A fresh strawberry would’ve tasted better. Our favorite part of the treat? The macaron cookie — we wish it was even bigger! What a teeny tiny macaron! While this wasn’t our favorite treat of all time, if you’re a flan fan, this snack will probably be a win. Don’t like the texture of flan? Maybe stay away from this one! Overall, we’re gonna say this treat looked better than it tasted. But that doesn’t mean it won’t become a favorite for some. We can’t get over how PRETTY it is! You can try this Flancocho for $7 at Amorette’s Patisserie. We’ll keep an eye out for more Women’s History Month treats in Disney World! Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney news and updates.

The global health crisis continues to affect Florida and the rest of the country. Florida Sunset It has been exactly one year since Florida first reported COVID-19 cases in the state. Now, vaccine rollout is ongoing and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is monitoring several variants of the original virus. According to the CDC, one case of the B.1.351 variant of COVID-19, originated in South Africa, has been reported in Florida. The data does not make clear where in Florida the variant was discovered but it is the 15th state to report a case of the variant. Florida Palm Trees The variant first appeared in the United States in January. Like the other two major variants, B.1.1.7 from the United Kingdom and P.1 from Brazil, the South African variant spreads more quickly than the initial virus. Florida At this time, early studies of the Moderna vaccine show that it may be less effective against this variant but additional studies are needed. There is also no present evidence that the South African variant is more deadly. ©The Florida Channel | Courtesy of WTVT Florida has 599 cases of the United Kingdom variant, the most of any state in the country, according to CDC data sampling. Additionally, the state has five cases of the Brazil variant. We will be keeping an eye on this developing situation. Click here to learn more about the United Kingdom variant in Florida.

Another month has come and gone, which means it’s time to talk about our best and worst Disney World FOODIE finds! Disney’s Animal Kingdom There weren’t any major openings this month or EPCOT festivals, leaving us to find some new treats for ourselves! And since we’ve tried just about everything there is to try in Disney World, we had to get a little creative. The Best: Bacon Grilled Cheese Hack — Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew If we had to summarize runaway hits for the month of February in one or two words, those words would be “hacks” and “upgrades.” A lot of our favorite items from the past month were items you might not necessarily notice right away on a menu, but with a little investigative work, you too can become an expert Disney World food hacker! A DFB Snack Hack at Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew One of our all-time favorite finds was at Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew in Disney Springs, which we already raved about when it first opened back in January. Since then, we’ve tried a variety of their supersized donuts and sandwiches. But what happens when you combine an Everglazed donut with a savory sandwich? What do you mean you’ve never tried a grilled cheese sandwich on a glazed donut bun?! Turns out, you can upgrade any of Everglazed’s sandwiches for an extra $1 to have it come served on a griddled glazed donut. So when we ordered The Grilled Cheeeeeese on a recent visit, we upgraded the bread to a donut AND we added bacon for another $1. Grilled Cheeeeeese Bacon Donut Sandwich Hack The result? Cheesy bacon-y goodness, all encased in a glazed donut. Can one sandwich change the world? Maybe not, but this sandwich definitely rocked ours! Click here to read our full review of the Cheesy Bacon Donut hack at Everglazed! Spiked Kakamora — Barefoot Pool Bar Our second top pick from the month of February is actually a beverage we concocted ourselves over at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! If you’ve been following along for any length of time, you’re likely well aware of our undying devotion to the Kakamora Float that you can find at Aloha Isle in Magic Kingdom. Kakamora Float So when we had the opportunity to inspire an amazing Cast Member to construct at “Spiked Kakamora“ at Barefoot Pool Bar, we couldn’t resist! A Spiked Kakamora is a mix of Parrot Bay coconut rum, pineapple juice, piña colada mix, and blue curaçao. Spiked Kakamora! Keep in mind that this drink doesn’t come with Dole Whip, but it was a tasty frozen invention of sorts nonetheless! We’re looking forward to ordering this again and again as the weather gets warmer! Click here to read more about the Spiked Kakamora Float! Nutella Waffle Ice Cream Hack — Sleepy Hollow Refreshments and We have ANOTHER hack from this month to share with you! As you may have heard, Sleepy Hollow Refreshments in Magic Kingdom once again serves the to-die-for Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich all. day. long. As perfect as the Waffle Sandwich is on its own, we couldn’t help but wonder if there was a way to elevate it and bring it to the next level. Enter: ice cream. Nutella Waffle Hack First, order the Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich, but ask for all of the ingredients to come separately. Then, grab a scoop of plain ice cream from Tomorrowland Terrace (or soft serve from Auntie Gravity’s if Tomorrowland Terrace is closed). Nutella Waffle Hack Then, you’re going to want to STACK in this order: waffle, Nutella, ice cream, Nutella, waffle, fresh fruit. Repeat. Nutella Waffle Hack It sounds too good to be true, but we can’t help but pat ourselves on the back for combing two of our favorite snacks in Disney World. Give it a try next time you’re in Magic Kingdom! Click here to read more about the Nutella Waffle Ice Cream hack! Coconut & Pineapple Dole Whip Swirl — Aloha Isle The next item on our list of best snacks for the month of February involves no hacking or special requests of any kind! When it comes to Dole Whip, the classic pineapple flavor stands out as one of the most iconic Disney snacks. Aloha Isle But did you know that there are actually a variety of flavors that Dole Whip comes in, including coconut? The wide selection of flavors have often resulted in equally iconic swirls, such as the Citrus Swirl at Sunshine Tree Terrace. Citrus Swirl This month, however, we were introduced to perhaps our new favorite Dole Whip swirl: coconut and pineapple! We haven’t been able to order this swirl combo before, but with the return of the Kakamora Float to Aloha Isle, you can now combine the classic Pineapple with Coconut Dole Whip — one of the key ingredients in the float. We love you, coconut pineapple Dole Whip swirl, so so much We’ve been crossing all of our fingers and toes that this swirl would make its debut one day at Disney World, but in the past, the coconut soft serve was in its own machine. It looks like THAT snafu has been remedied, and you can now enjoy the amazingness that is the Coconut Pineapple Dole Whip Swirl! Click here to read more about the Coconut Pineapple Dole Whip Swirl! Mardi Gras Smoked Crawdog — B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Co. The last item on our list of the best things we’ve tried this month came from the most unlikely of places. We’re heading back to B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Co. in Disney Springs to revisit a limited-time menu offering for Mardis Gras, the Smoked Crawdog! The Mardi Gras Smoked Crawdog! Now, it’s not every day you’ll find us dreaming about a hot dog made of smoked andouille sausage topped with crawfish, lemon caper aioli, and creole pepper sauce. But believe us when we say that it all came together and WORKED. Between the perfect balance of flavor and heat to the brilliant combination of toppings, this was a far cry from some of the other hot dogs we’ve tried recently in Disney Springs.

The Worst: Strawberry My Chai — Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew While there were plenty of food and drink items we ADORED this month in Disney World, there were a few things that stood out for all the wrong reasons. We wish we could love everything we eat and drink, but when something doesn’t quite hit the mark, we want to make sure you know about it! So for our first item on our list of the worst things we tried in February, we’re actually going BACK to Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew. Strawberry My Chai We know, we never thought we would find something from Everglazed on our “worst” list, but we gotta give it up to the Strawberry My Chai for proving us wrong. The beverage is a mixture of Iced Chai Tea, Strawberry Milk, and Strawberry Syrup Swirl, and it comes topped with a Strawberry Deluxe Donut. Strawberry My Chai While the Strawberry Deluxe Donut is great, we were really thrown off by the odd flavor combo of chai and strawberry milk. It might work for you, but it didn’t for us!

Cherry Coke Float — Storybook Treats Floats are among the funnier Disney World snacks in that we either seem to LOVE them or really want nothing to do with them. It’s as if we had soft-serve floats on a sliding scale, and on one end was the Kakamora Float, but wayyyyy on the other end was something akin to the Poor Unfortunate Souls Float. And somewhere in the middle, but leaning more toward the Poor Unfortunate Souls, is where you’ll find the Cherry Coke Float. Cherry Coke Float We THOUGHT this would be a runaway hit…like, come on, it’s Cherry Coke! But the latest float concoction landed a bit flat over at Storybook Treats. Once again, like the Poor Unfortunate Souls Float we were hit with a strong medicine-like flavor when we bit into the cherry soft serve. Cherry Coke Float We will say that this item was a bit of a menu hack — we ordered the Cherry Soft Serve with Diet Coke instead of Cherry Coke. We found that the Diet Coke did a decent job of cutting back on that medicine flavor, but overall, we won’t be ordering it a second time. Click here to read more about the Cherry Coke Float. Valentine’s Brownie — Creature Comforts OK, this final item on our “worst” list lost a TON of points just from a sheer lack of creativity. Way back in December, we checked out the Santa Mickey Mousse Brownie over at Creature Comforts in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. This treat hasn’t had the best track record with us, and once again, we felt very “meh” about the 2020 version. Santa Mickey Mousse Cut to this month, we heard that Creature Comforts would sell a Valentine’s Brownie topped with a Mousse Dome…HMMM…sounds familiar. We promise the picture above this text and the picture below are of two different brownies, but we’ll let you be the judge: Valentine’s Brownie Topped with a Mousse Dome To Disney’s credit, the filling in the Valentine’s Brownie is different: the latest version is strawberry mousse as opposed to the Santa Mickey Mouse which was white chocolate peppermint. It tasted fine, but ultimately we wished Disney had gone the extra mile in coming up with something truly unique and original for Valentine’s Day (when we were already stuffed with chocolate this and strawberry that all month long).
