There are few things that draw as much of a crowd as coveted Disney merchandise. Main Street Cinema We’ve seen hours-long lines for gift shops in the parks, special edition drinkware that sold out online in minutes, and popcorn buckets that broke the internet. There are some things that Disney fans just have to have! Whether it’s an item that played on their nostalgia or a collection based around their favorite character, these ten souvenirs made Disney fans go crazy!

Figment Popcorn Bucket Possibly the most well-known of this whole list, the Figment Popcorn Bucket arrived on the scene during the 2022 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. Figment Popcorn Bucket Fans lined up for literal HOURS to get their hands on one of these iconic popcorn buckets — one Cast Member estimated it had grown to a six-and-a-half-hour wait! Popcorn bucket line This cute popcorn bucket became such a cultural icon that it even inspired one eBay user to list a “Bad Artwork Sketch of 2022 EPCOT Festival of the Arts Figment Popcorn Bucket,” giving 90% of the proceeds to charity. ©eBay The following year, Disney brought a new version of this bucket back for the 2023 EPCOT Festival of the Arts, and it was such an anticipated moment that even the Orlando International Airport tweeted their excitement. Figment Loungefly Mini Backpack and Ear Headband The Figment mania has continued well into 2023, with fans eagerly awaiting the opening of the new Figment meet-and-greet in EPCOT! In June, Disney released a new pair of Figment ears in the park, and it looked like Figment was flying across them. Wear Figment on your head Fans went crazy over them, and they sold out quickly! Later, in August, Disney released a Figment Loungefly Mini Backpack in the park, and it sold out in a day. Figment Then, ushering in the opening of Figment’s new meet-and-greet in September, Disney released these two items online — but they have since sold out again! Nightmare Before Christmas Starbucks Tumbler In September, Disney released a new Starbucks tumbler for the Halloween season. The Nightmare Before Christmas Tumbler sold out almost instantly online! ©Disney A few days later, Disney rereleased it online, but it sold out quickly once again. Fans love their Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise! During Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Christmas Party this year, the Nightmare Before Christmas Popcorn Bucket was extremely popular and has sold out as well.

While Disney rereleased it a few days later, it sold out again. 50th Anniversary Starbucks Tumbler When Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebration kicked off in October 2021, tons of new merchandise was released. While a lot of these items were popular, one souvenir in particular caused fans to really freak out! The 50th Anniversary Starbucks Tumbler was a huge hit. Starbucks 50th Anniversary Tumbler This geometric tumbler featured the 50th Anniversary logo on one side and the Starbucks logo on the other. Disney released the item online, but it has since sold out. A Closer Look at the Tumbler You can, however, still find a shiny gold version of this tumbler online, as well as a matte black one. 50th Anniversary Tote Bag The Starbucks tumbler wasn’t the only 50th Anniversary item that had fans pulling out their wallets! The Harveys 50th Anniversary Bag popped up in Magic Kingdom and Disney Springs in January 2022, and it sold out fast! Later, it was released online, but it didn’t last long there either. WOW This bag was part of the Vault Collection that Disney released for the Anniversary, and it had all of those awesome retro vibes. So cute! With vintage illustrations of Minnie, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, and more, this bag was a popular way to celebrate the occasion! Scarlet Witch Loungefly Mini Backpack and Ear Headband Lastly, fans really went wild over the WandaVision series on Disney+, and when Disney released a new collection for the show, it sold out fast. Scarlet Witch Ears The Scarlet Witch Ear Headband sold out in seconds when they were released online! They were then released in the parks but sold out pretty quickly there as well. Fortunately, Disney has rereleased these ears online so you can still get them! “I have everything under control” There’s no telling how long they’ll be around this time, so head over to shopDisney to get them soon if you missed out!

We have good news and bad news. Magic Kingdom The good news is that park hopping is returning to normal in Disney World in 2024! The bad news is that a TON of price increases have hit the parks and hotels. It’s something we see time and time again, but this time — it impacts our beloved Starbucks. There’s nothing like walking down Main Street, U.S.A. with a delicious cup of Starbucks Coffee in your hand — but now, it’s going to cost you more. That’s right — price increases have hit Disney World Starbucks. Does your Disney day begin at Starbucks? From what we’ve seen so far, the prices have gone up at just a few locations: Creature Comforts in Animal Kingdom, Main Street Bakery in Magic Kingdom, and Trolley Car Cafe in Hollywood Studios.

Changes happen almost every day in Disney World. EPCOT has undergone LOTS of changes! But recently, in one big swoop of their hand, we have seen A LOT of changes! Park Hopper changes were announced, new Annual Pass prices were announced, and many price increases were added. We noticed that two of our favorite snacks were included in the list of food items to receive a price increase today. As 2023 nears the end, we’re not at all surprised to see price increases being announced. We’re nearing the new year in Disney World and with that often comes pricing announcements. So let’s take a look at how the prices have changed for our beloved Mickey Pretzel and Dole Whip snacks. Dole Whip soft serve is a huge deal in Disney World, especially to us. We love all the Dole Whip snacks that Disney comes out with. We noticed that the Dole Whip soft serve over at Pineapple Lanai has changed from $4.99 to $5.49 and the Pineapple Float there is now $6.29 instead of $5.99. Dole Whip This price change for Dole Whip floats and smoothies can be seen at all other locations that offer them (except for any specialty float and at Tamu Tamu in Animal Kingdom.) At Tamu Tamu, you can get a Dole Whip Pineapple Float for $6.49 now as opposed to previously for $5.99. They also offer an alcoholic version of the float with Parrot Bay Coconut Rum which has increased from $11.50 to $12. Dole Whip from Tamu Tamu We also noticed that the two pool bars at Disney’s Polynesian Resort also increased the prices of their specialty Dole Whip cocktails. At both Oasis Bar & Grill and Barefoot Pool Bar the Frozen Margarita with Dole Whip Lime went from $15.50 to $16 and both the Frosty Pineapple and The Voyager increased from $14.50 to $15. Barefoot Pool Bar At Sunshine Tree Terrace in Magic Kingdom, the Dole Whip orange and strawberry cups increased from $5.29 to $5.79. They also offer a specialty Dole Whip float, the I Lava You Float, which increased from $6.99 to $7.29. And the last of the Dole Whip price increases we saw was over at Boardwalk Joe’s Marvelous Margaritas where the Captain Seaside Sensation went from $13.50 to $14. I Lava You Even with the price increases, Dole Whips are still some of our favorite Disney snacks! We also love us a Mickey Pretzel, which has also seen a price increase. You can now get a Mickey Pretzel for $7.79 instead of $7.49 at all locations they are offered. Mickey Pretzel It’s no surprise that we’re seeing so many changes in Disney World this week. As the year comes to an end, we can most likely expect more to happen especially as EPCOT finally nears the end of its transformation.

There are classic Disney World snacks like your churros, Dole Whips, Mickey Premium Bars, and Mickey Pretzels, but every once in a while, a snack comes along that is an instant icon. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge When Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge opened in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we knew that some out-of-this-world eats would come along with it, but little did we know just how popular — and controversial — the Ronto Wrap would become. We’re so blessed to live in a world where Ronto Wraps exist. And, we’re especially lucky because there are multiple different types of Ronto Wraps for us to shovel into our gullets at warp speed. But, that begs the question: which Ronto Wrap reigns supreme? Consider this our official (and controversial) Ronto Wrap Ranking. 1. Ronto Wrap They say you never forget your first Ronto Wrap, and because of that, the OG recipe has landed at the top of our list. We’ve barely started, and we’re already getting controversial. Available during lunch and dinner, this delightful combination of Roasted Pork, Grilled Pork Sausage, Peppercorn Sauce, and Tangy Slaw wrapped in Pita Bread is what dreams are made of (to quote prolific poet Lizzie McGuire). Ronto Wrap The smokiness and snap of the sausage combined with the savory, salty pork and the tangy slaw is just magical. The pita is warm and pillowy soft, and don’t even get us started on the peppercorn sauce. It provides the perfect bite without being overly spicy, and adds a welcome creaminess to the saltiness and acidity to the rest of the wrap. Ronto Wrap We have had a few duds here and there — sometimes the pork is dry or the pita is tough, but at the end of the day, there’s a reason these are so popular. This version isn’t the only one with a cult following, though. See a Full Ronto Wrap Review Here 2. Ronto Morning Wrap It’s time to welcome a new contender to the ring — the Ronto Morning Wrap. As you might have guessed, this version is available at Ronto Roasters during breakfast and is just as popular as the original recipe. You’ll find Eggs, Grilled Pork Sausage, Shredded Cheddar, and Peppercorn Sauce in Pita Bread. It’s essentially the same as the regular version, just without the slaw and with eggs instead! Ronto Morning Wrap In our experience, the Ronto Morning Wrap is an excellent way to start the day and will keep you feeling full until lunchtime without weighing you down. The peppercorn sauce is the star of this one as well, especially as the rest of the ingredients are certainly on the salty and richer side of things. The zip of the peppercorn is all you need to wake you up in the morning! Check Out Our Full Ronto Morning Wrap Review! 3. Zuchii Wrap It’s not often you find a plant-based version of something that holds up to the original item, but the Zuchii Wrap comes pretty darn close. In fact, we find ourselves ordering this when we’re looking for something filling but a bit lighter. The Zuchii Wrap is made with Grilled Zucchini, Smoky Chickpea-Onion Slaw, Creamy Garlic-Tahini Sauce, and Fresh Cilantro wrapped in Pita Bread, and you’ll find it during lunch and dinner. Zuchii Wrap The grilled zucchini is buttery with a nice char most of the time, and it doesn’t get soggy like squash often can. We love the addition of the smoky chickpea slaw — it adds a nice texture along with a subtle spice and smokiness that take the wrap to the next level. The garlic-tahini sauce is tangy while not being too overpowering. Those who like a kick might even like the sauce MORE than the one in the Ronto Wrap. The Zuchii Wrap was good! The grilled pita is just as yummy when filled with veggies and the zucchini has a lovely consistency and crunch. Now, if you’ve never been and you eat meat, we still recommend snagging the Ronto Wrap before this one. BUT, if you like veggies and a little heat and you’ve had the classic before, you might want to give this a try! Read Our Full Zuchii Wrap Review Here 4. Triple Suns Morning Wrap The Triple Suns Morning Wrap is made with plant-based “egg,” smoky chickpea onion slaw, and roasted tomato sauce wrapped in a warm pita. And, this wrap packs a bit of a SPICY punch! We thought that it almost had a curry taste to the spice, rather than a “burn your tongue, it’s so spicy” spice. Triple Suns Breakfast Wrap Other than the spice, there are a lot of different flavors going on when you bite into the wrap. But, what we enjoy most about it is the smoky chickpea onion slaw. We could eat a whole TUB of that with just the pita bread and be happy! If you’re not a meat eater and are looking for something filling in the morning, this might be just the thing. The plant-based eggs were a surprising flavor In our opinion, the plant-based eggs aren’t as good as the real thing, but if you’re plant-based chances are you’ll have a different opinion. They certainly didn’t prevent us from devouring the entire wrap in one sitting when we had it in the past. And, speaking of eating the whole thing, this is definitely a breakfast for those who are hungry. The serving size is on the larger end and all the ingredients made for one filling meal.

Disney has announced several price increases today, and now there’s another one that will apply to you if you’re driving to Disney World. Parking It just got more expensive to park at the Disney World theme parks! Starting today, the cost to park at any of the four Disney World theme parks has gone up. This includes parking at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Here’s a breakdown of the price increases: Standard parking (car or motorcycle): $30 per day — was previously $25 per day Preferred parking (car or motorcycle): $45, $50, or $55 per day (pricing is seasonal and varies by date) — was previously $45 to $50 per day Oversized vehicle parking (Shuttle, Limo, Camper Trailer, RV, Bus, or Tractor Trailer): $35 per day — was previously $30 per day Hollywood Studios parking Don’t forget that Disney Resort hotel guests receive complimentary overnight self-parking at their hotel in addition to free standard parking at the theme parks! Another group that gets to park for free is Annual Passholders. EPCOT Parking Lot If you’re gonna opt into Preferred Parking or use one of the electric vehicle charging stations, you will have to cover those fees; those aren’t included with the free perk of an Annual Pass or a resort stay.

Calling all Disney World Annual Passholders! There are about to be some changes that might affect your next trip. Annual Pass Disney previously announced some ticket CHANGES for Disney World Annual Passholders and Cast Members, and now we know WHEN those changes will begin! Disney previously announced “Good to Go” days for Annual Passholders and Cast Members. On these days, these visitors will be able to enter the parks without a Park Pass Reservation. Annual Passholder Card Note that Annual Passholders and Cast Members still need to make Park Pass Reservations on most days, even after Park Passes disappear for date-based tickets on January 9th, 2024. The “Good to Go” days are an exception to this rule. Disney previously said that these “Good to Go” days would begin sometime in 2024, but now we know that they’ll start in January! Disney notes that “the theme park reservation calendar will be updated periodically and will show Passholders select days when they may visit a Disney World theme park without needing a theme park reservation.” That means that you can see the “Good to Go” days on a rolling basis, so you won’t be able to see the whole year right away. Passholder Entrance These Good to Go dates will replace the current Bonus Days — days in which Passholders can make a reservation without it counting against their reservation limit. Keep in mind, however, that Blockout days still apply. This change follows another relaxing of Park Pass Reservations rules that arrived in April of this year, which allows Passholders to enter the parks without a reservation after 2PM, except for Saturdays and Sundays in Magic Kingdom.

Disney Genie+ is the service you can buy to skip the standby lines in Disneyland and Disney World. Disney Genie Pamphlet This service replaced the FastPass option in 2021. The price of Genie+ varies, depending on the day that you’re visiting. Now, a price increase has been announced for Genie+ in Disneyland. Genie+ now starts at $30 per ticket, per day in Disneyland. Previously, the price started at $25. Note that prices vary by date — on days when Disney expects the parks to be busier, Genie+ generally costs more. We can expect to see the highest prices around the holidays, when the parks are especially crowded. You can find the current day’s pricing and purchase Genie+ on the Disneyland mobile app. In Disneyland, you can purchase and add Genie+ to a park ticket or vacation package in advance (this is not available for Disney World). If you purchase in advance, you’ll pay $30 per ticket, per day. If you purchase day-of, the price is subject to date-based pricing starting at $30 per ticket, per day. ©Disney Lightning Lane selections can be made upon entering the theme park in Disneyland theme parks. On the day of this price increase (October 11th), Genie+ cost $35. The last price increase for Genie+ at Disneyland was about a year ago, in October 2022. Then, it went from $20 to $25.

HUGE DISNEY WORLD NEWS! Cinderella Castle Many guests have been asking for this Park Hopper change, and now it’s finally returning to Disney World! Disney announced that, beginning January 9th, 2024, all-day park hopping is finally coming back! Anyone who has a park ticket with Park Hopper or an Annual Pass can visit another theme park at any time of day during park hours. Ever since Park Hopper returned in 2021, it’s been limited to after 2PM each day. That restriction will finally go away on January 9th. Park Hopping Remember that Park Pass Reservations are going away for most tickets beginning on January 9th as well. Disney noted that “on days when theme park reservations are required for Annual Passholders and certain non-dated tickets, Passholders and guests will be able to take advantage of the updates to Park Hopper access after visiting their first park.” So, if you have a Park Pass Reservation for Magic Kingdom and you enter that park at 9AM, you can go to a different park any time after you scan into the first one. You must scan into the park that you have a Park Pass for before you can park hop. Welcome to Disney World! Annual Passholder “Good-to-go” days are coming in January! On those days, Passholders will not need a Park Pass Reservation to visit a theme park. Want help booking your Disney World vacation?

Disneyland has some big things happening in the future! Disneyland Resort If you’ve been following Disneyland Resort news for the past few years, then you may have heard about the proposed expansion to the parks. In 2021, Disney proposed a project called DisneylandForward, which would allow the resort to fill in some unused space on the property to add more attractions and offerings to the theme parks. Progress on getting this plan approved has been slow, but now we have an update. Before we get to the Disneyland news, if you have an upcoming trip planned for the West Coast park, you’ll want this totally FREE resource. We have a complete 3-day guide for the best Disneyland Trip ever. Just click the link below and it’ll be sent to you by email. On October 9th, there was a DisneylandForward-centered meeting in Anaheim. During the meeting, a “FactSheet” was handed out to attendees and it contained some concept art. The artwork featured a NEW parking structure that could potentially be built near Disneyland Resort. This structure would be located east of Harbor Boulevard. Of course, concepts can change as projects develop, so the final product may not end up looking like this. ©City of Anaheim If the DisneylandForward project gets approved, new additions will be constructed in the areas of the resort that Disney considers “underdeveloped.” This would include space surrounding some of the Disneyland Resort hotels west of the parks and a parking lot on the east side. © Google Maps | DFB In order for guests to access this space easily, new walkways or methods of transportation may need to be built. The study says the following: “In order to facilitate development of new attractions west of Disneyland Drive, up to two additional pedestrian bridges or crossings may be constructed over Disneyland Drive and will serve as a continuation of the themed environment across the roadway, similar to the existing Downtown Disney crossing, with no access to and from the public right-of-way.” DisneylandForward concept art ©Disney Stay tuned to DFB for updates on the progress of this project.

If you’re staying at Disney World for more than 2-3 days, it can be better for your bank account (and for your stomach) to get a few groceries for your hotel room. Groceries After all, a Gaston’s Cinnamon Roll for breakfast each day starts to hurt the tummy a bit after the second time. It can be a better choice to have some cereal or instant oats back in the room. A lot of folks fly to Disney World and then Uber to and from a grocery store to grab a few necessities. This can be pretty inconvenient, as you could be spending that time relaxing and having fun! There are plenty of reasons why you SHOULDN’T Uber to a grocery store near Disney World, and we’re here to share those reasons with you. We came up with 17 (!!!) reasons to save your time and NOT head over to a grocery store near Disney World. Let’s go! 1. Kroger delivers to Disney World hotels. Not only does Kroger deliver to Disney World hotels, but they also deliver to many other hotels throughout Orlando! Delivery! Grocery delivery is a popular choice for many visitors, as groceries can be left at the desk in some cases or in refrigerated lockers at some hotels. Now, you might be saying to yourself, “I’ve never seen a Kroger in Central Florida,” and you would be right! Kroger doesn’t have any stores in the area, but they do have a large fulfillment center, and you can get their groceries delivered easily! 2. You won’t have to budget extra for a tip. Ordering with Kroger Delivery isn’t like Instacart! Kroger employees are paid to pack your order and deliver it. Unloading our order Tipping actually isn’t even allowed! 3. It’s a great way to get baby stuff! Diapers, wipes, and formula are all major necessities when visiting Disney World with a baby. However, they’re all very bulky and take up a LOT of room when packing. Get all the baby essentials! Kroger delivery is a great way to grab those things to use throughout your trip without the hassle of packing them. 4. You can get snacks and drinks delivered. A huge culprit when it comes to blowing the Disney budget is purchasing smaller snacks and drinks throughout the parks multiple times a day. You can take snacks and drinks into the parks with you as long as they’re not in a cooler. Get snacks and drinks delivered! Getting these snacks delivered so that you can take them into the parks with you is a great way to save money! 5. You can grab annoying-to-pack essentials. There are a few things that we recommend taking to the parks with you that are just a major inconvenience to pack, especially if you’re flying. Ziplock bags and paper towels — both are great to have with you, but we don’t recommend storing a paper towel roll in your carry-on. Save room on packing! Getting these delivered is the way to go! 6. You can order alcohol. Yes, you can order beer, wine and spirits through Kroger Delivery! You can have wine in the parks AND back in the hotel! However, you must meet them at bell services and present your ID. 7. Bell Services can accept your order if you’re in the parks. Disney does charge a fee, but bell services can accept your order and hold it for you if you get caught up at the parks. Grocery bags Things do go much more smoothly if you’re there to grab the order yourself, but rest assured that your order will be safe if things happen! 8. You can avoid the Disney water! One thing we DEFINITELY recommend is getting bottled water delivered. The bottled water in the parks and at the hotels is EXPENSIVE, and the tap water is… well, it can taste like sulfur. You can get your own water Bottled water is the only way that we stay hydrated while visiting Disney World. 9. You can order quickly and easily through the Kroger app. Yep! You don’t even have to worry about keeping track of your order via your browser. ©Kroger Your order information will all be located within the regular Kroger app (not the Kroger Delivery Now app), where you can make changes to your delivery and keep track of the order progress. If you don’t have the Kroger app yet, the best place to grab it is right here. 10. You can time the order to your arrival. Within the Kroger app, you can select a time slot for your delivery and then pay through the app! ©Kroger This way, you can time it to when you’ll arrive at your hotel so you can meet them there, or you can let bell services know what time your order can be expected if you know in advance that you won’t be around. 11. You can save $45 on your first 3 orders! If you aren’t already using the Kroger app for deliveries, new customers can get $15 off each of their first 3 orders — a total of $45! Delivery Plus you’ll find lots of digital coupons in the app that you can clip to save even more 12. Deliveries DO earn you fuel points! One of the best perks of shopping at Kroger is that every purchase earns you fuel points, which you can eventually use to save a LOT of money on gas. Save on fuel! Deliveries count for fuel points, so you can actually save money in more ways than one by utilizing the service. 13. Quick solution if you’re sick or injured. Not only can you order groceries, but you can also order over-the-counter medicines like pain relievers! ©Kroger It isn’t uncommon to pick up a cold while visiting the Disney World parks, so this is a good option just in case. 14. You can grab sunscreen for LESS. Packing sunscreen in your suitcase can be problematic because of TSA rules. Buying it in the parks is just more expensive than it needs to be. Sunscreen Kroger delivery? Your best choice! You can grab all sorts of sunscreen and have it delivered with your groceries. 15. You can grab FOOD STORAGE! We mentioned Ziploc bags earlier. We love having Ziploc bags and food storage with us because it helps keep things mess-free in the parks while also giving us a way to take food back to the hotel with us since Disney does not offer to-go boxes or take out. ©Ziploc We definitely recommend some storage containers for things like ‘Ohana noodles, which you get a LOT of but quickly run out of room in your stomach. 16. Free delivery is available. If you have a Kroger Boost membership that gives you free delivery at home, that works at Disney World, too! All the groceries This is a great way to save some extra cash. 17. In most cases, delivery is less than $10. If you DON’T have a Kroger Boost membership, delivery is only $9.95 — and as we mentioned above, you can save $15 on each of your first 3 orders. Kroger Delivery Whereas other food delivery fees vary per delivery, Kroger’s is $9.95 every time. And there you have it! What do you say? Will you be utilizing Kroger delivery from here on out? We’ll continue to keep you updated with more Disney news, so make sure to follow along so that you never miss a thing. Check Out Kroger’s Central Florida Grocery Delivery Service!

There’s a NEW ride coming to Magic Kingdom, and we’re watching the construction progress like a HAWK. (Insert gesture of two fingers pointing at our eyes then turning to point at the ride here. ) Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Concept Art ©Disney When Splash Mountain closed to become Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, we expected there would be some swift changes in the scenery, but quite a bit has been altered since the construction started earlier this year! We’ve been able to keep tabs on the queue area to see how it’s progressing, and now we’ve got an update to share. On a recent visit to Magic Kingdom, we noticed a CHANGE in the construction site for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure! We’ve been watching the construction crews working here for a while, but now we’ve spotted one of the first signs of The Princess and the Frog (besides the giant water tower that was installed, of course). They’re adding some artwork! On the side of the main queue building, construction workers have started outlining a mural, and it features one of our favorite characters! Is that Louis we see?! He looks like he’s playing some snazzy jazz music. We’ve seen murals on other sides of the building being painted as well. It looks like there’s going to be a lot of whimsical artwork in this queue! Another mural! Also in the queue, workers look like they’re getting ready to pour some concrete for the walkways. We’ve seen them rearranging and rebuilding the queue area for months so this is an exciting step as well. Updates in the queue as well! We’ll keep our eyes peeled for more updates about what’s happening with this ride, so stay tuned to DFB for the latest! We’ll be interested to check out Tiana’s Bayou Adventure when it’s completed next year. Click Here to See a Sneak Peek of an Animatronic for the Ride!

It’s heartbreaking when our favorite snacks leave Disney World, but we should know by now that legends never truly die. De. Lish. Several years ago, AJ fell in LOVE with her birthday snack: a pile of piping hot fries at Flame Tree Barbecue in Disney’s Animal Kingdom — loaded with pulled pork, plastic cheese, and barbecue sauce. It was love at first bite and quickly became a favorite not only for AJ but for the team members here at DFB as well. (They’re delicious, y’all. We can all attest.) Our hearts were SHATTERED when these deliciously saucy and cheesy fries left the menu. If you’re like us and mourned the loss of this snack for years, it’s time to dry up those tears, pal.
