Disney and Coach have released some pretty amazing collaborations.
COACH Designer Ears
We’ve seen Coach designer ears, a Donald Duck line, and even a Star Wars collection! But the newest collaboration is a little more princess-inspired — and a special group (including you!) can score some major savings on the Coach Outlet website.
Disney’s princess collection features Cinderella, Tiana, and Belle on crossbody bags, wristlets, wallets, and more. And while these new items aren’t up for grabs for everyone just yet, Coach Insiders can buy them on the Coach Outlet website with early access and a BIG discount. For example, the Cinderella Box Crossbody Bag is on sale from $350 to $175! It features double-zip closure and a detachable strap, with imagery of Cinderella’s iconic carriage.

Tiana also has a line of bags! There’s a mini camera bag in lily pad green with her on it. There are outside and inside pockets with an adjustable strap. And guys — this one’s 50% off for Coach Insiders, too! It’s discounted from $278 to $139.

Belle’s collection is the soft yellow of her ballgown! Her jewelry box is on sale from $178 to $89 for Coach Insiders, and it features plenty of sparkles. Inside, there are multiple compartments for jewelry, as well as a mirror.

And if you want something a little more subtle, you can opt for the classic Coach pattern with Cinderella-inspired patches! The Disney x Coach City Tote is covered with the Coach logo, and it has pink accents. Patches include Cinderella’s glass slipper, the Fairy Godmother’s wand, and “Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo.” And Coach Insiders: you can snag this one for $199 instead of $398!

As a new month approaches, Disney+ has announced that Star Wars series Obi-Wan Kenobi will begin filming in April. What’s Happening: While they haven’t given the exact date, Disney has announced that production on Obi-Wan Kenobi will begin in April. Along with the news of the filming, Star Wars also tweeted the full cast list earlier this morning: Production begins soon on […]

Guess what, Star Wars fans? Disney has released the cast of Obi-Wan Kenobi, and we have all the details! Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ is no stranger to Star Wars spin offs. After its original series The Mandalorian became a smash hit, it was only logical that the streaming giant would set plans for more Star Wars […]

Easter is coming up this weekend, and we’ve got the rundown on all sorts of Easter treats you can find.
You can see our full review here, but any of these treats are a wonderful option. (We love carrot cake, so that is our favorite of the ones we tried, but cracking open that chocolate egg full of jellybeans certainly was a lot of fun, too!)
You can see our full review here. By far, the springtime Oreo bonbons were the favorite choice. There’s a reason why they are a signature dessert!
You can read our full review here. The Chocolate Piñata is always a crowd pleaser, but our pick is the Boozy Bourbon Bunny. This isn’t your kid’s chocolate bunny in a box!
Available at various location in Animal Kingdom (including Flame Tree, Restaurantosaurus, and Creature Comforts) is a Thumper Carrot Cake Cupcake. At $5.99 like most cupcakes, we’re a fan because the TouringPlans parks team loves carrot cake. It has just the right amount of cream cheese frosting, spring sprinkles, and a pretty big mound of caramel buttercream (although you could have told us it was regular buttercream and we’d believe you). The problem is that using mobile order means that it was sitting near a heat lamp, and. . . well, to quote Thumper, if you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothin’ at all.
The Main Street Confectionary has closed for refurbishment, however we were able to snap some pictures of the fun Easter treats before they closed. During the refurb, grab and go options will be available at the Main Street Cinema. It wouldn’t be surprising to us if some of these treats “hopped” on over there. We really loved the cute detail for the cottontail Rice Krispy treat.
At various locations around Walt Disney World, Easter-themed chocolate apples are available. We got ours at Disney Springs, but different styles can be found anywhere that sells those enormous Disney apples. At $10.99 they’re pricey, but easily something that you would want to split between a few people.
Easter will be here before you know it, so if any of these treats has appeal to you, you’ll want to hop to it and get your favorites!
Which of these Easter treats do you like best? Let us know in the comments.

Star Wars fans: we’ve got BIG news!
©Disney
There’s lots of exciting stuff coming to Disney+, but we’re waiting patiently for Disney’s new Obi-Wan Kenobi series (seriously, we are SO ready). We’ve already learned that Hayden Christiansen will be reprising his role as Darth Vader — he played the role in 2 of the 3 prequel films. And Ewan McGregor will star in the series, too! But today, we got even MORE casting news.
Production is beginning SOON, and Disney’s amping up the excitement by announcing the cast! Although Disney hasn’t said exactly WHO these actors will play, we do know Moses Ingram, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, and more will be featured in the series. Get excited, people!

Obi-Wan Kenobi takes place 10 years after Revenge of the Sith. Disney hasn’t told us much more about what we can expect from the plot, but we’ll keep our eyes out for more news! As always, stay tuned to DFB for the latest Disney updates.

If you’re like us, one of your favorite parts of visiting Walt Disney World is all the food!
Waffles with a view
And, you don’t necessarily have to be in the parks to get a taste of your favorite treats and eats in from Disney. That’s why we love sharing Disney recipes with you to try at home! While it somehow never tastes exactly how it does in Disney World (no matter how close you follow the recipe), there’s still something special about foods marked as “Disney” in our minds. And, for those who don’t want to try their hand in the kitchen, we’ve got a list of pre-packaged foods to make you feel like you’re at Disney that you can find at Trader Joe’s! So, if you’re a big fan of the grocery store like many of our writers ae, here’s everything you can pick up to bring some of that Disney magic home!
First up is a flavor that you probably thought you could only taste when exploring Pandora — The World of Avatar at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. That’s right, we talking about the Cheeseburger Pods from Satu’li Canteen! These wrapped cheeseburger buns are delicious and are made with ground beef, ketchup, mustard, pickle, and cheddar cheese at Disney World and you can find a copycat at Trader Joe’s!
Cheeseburger Pods at Satu’li Canteen
Next time you’re visiting the grocery store, pick up a box of the Philly Cheesesteak Bao Buns. You’ll find these in the frozen section and all you have to do is pop them in the oven and enjoy a taste of Disney!
©Popsugar.food
They are made with Philly cheesesteak in a bao bun with shredded beef, onion, and bell pepper. So, not exactly the same recipe, but they taste pretty close to the real thing! You’ll find them in a box of 4 for $3.49.
Mickey Pretzels are perhaps the most iconic Disney World snack. There’s just something better about giant pretzels in the shape of Mickey Mouse. You can find them everywhere around the parks when you’re visiting and, now, you can even find them at home!
Mickey Pretzel Time!
Trader Joe’s sells bags of Big Soft Pretzels in the frozen section and they are sure to remind you of days snacking on the salty snack in front of Cinderella Castle! They aren’t Mickey-shaped but use your imagination and it’ll feel almost the same!
©Trader Joe’s
They come in a pack of 4 for $2.49. Honestly, this is such a steal that you might pack your own pretzels for your next visit to Disney World and just buy the plastic cheese! 
Next up is cheesy bread! If you love the Brazilian Cheese Bread that can be found during the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival or have tried the Pao de Queijo off the secret menu at Jungle Navigation Co., Ltd. Skipper Canteen in Magic Kingdom, then you’re in for a treat! Carbs and cheese go hand in hand and you don’t have to be at Disney World to get your fix!
Pao De Queijo off the Secret Menu at Skipper Canteen!
You can get the Trader Joe’s Brazilian Style Cheese Bread and create your own Disney dining adventure! These are made with tapioca flour and parmesan cheese with a thin crisp exterior and a chewy cheese center. Um…YUM!
©Trader Joe’s Instagram
You can find it in the frozen section (are you picking up on a theme here?) for $3.99. And, you get 12 pieces for that price!
If you’ve ever eaten at Yak & Yeti Restaurant in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, you probably know that they serve up some pretty tasty Asian-style dishes! And, if you’ve tried the Chicken Tikka Masala, you probably were left wanting more after scooping up every inch of the sauce with naan. And, Trader Joe’s has something that tastes pretty close so you can enjoy more dinners feeling like you’re dining in Disney World!
Chicken Tikka Masala
Trader Joe’s sells a Butter Chicken with Basmati Rice that you can warm up in the oven! Pair it with Trader Joe’s Garlic Naan and you have yourself a fancy Disney-inspired meal!
©Amazon
The Butter Chicken serves one and can be found in the frozen section for $3.69. And, the Garlic Naan is also there for $1.99. You may never want to spend $25.99 on the dish at Disney World again after eating this (though we still do)!
If you’ve been following us for a while here at DFB, you probably know that one of our favorite places to grab pizza is Via Napoli in the Italy Pavilion at EPCOT. And, if you’re craving some wood-fired pizza, there’s something at Trader Joe’s that will make you feel like your eating the Margherita Pizza in the middle of the restaurant.
Via Napoli Pizza Margherita
Trader Joe’s has a Pizza Margherita that you can find in the frozen section. So, all you need to do is warm this one up in the oven and get to snacking! If you want to get real authentic to the Disney experience, give your oven a name (Vesuvio, Etna, and Stromboli are already taken)!
©Buzzfeed
The frozen pizza is imported from Italy so really you’re getting as close as you can get to Via Napoli, right? And, instead of buying a plane ticket (or a park ticket), this one will only cost you $3.99.
Wine Bar George serves up some Crispy Mac & Cheese Bites that we’ve been known to rave about in the past. We can’t help it! And, if you also love the crispy, cheesy small plate from the Disney Springs restaurant, then you’re in luck because you can whip them up at home in little to no time!
Crispy Mac & Cheese Bites from Wine Bar George
Next time you’re at the grocery store, pick up a box of the Trader Joe’s Mac & Cheese Bites! These little guys come frozen in a box of 10 and you can warm them up in the oven or get fancy and use an air fryer to make them extra crispy. Pair it with a marinara sauce and parmesan cheese and you’ll feel like you’re at Disney World, no reservation needed!
©Trader Joe’s
And, you’ll be snacking at a fraction of the cost. These are only $3.99 at the store!
There are a lot of Disney fans that will argue the only way to travel around World Showcase at EPCOT is by starting in the Mexico Pavilion. If you’re one of those people then you’re going to love this next one! La Canita de San Angel is the Quick Service restaurant located in the Mexico Pavilion where you can find all the tacos, chips, and guacamole your heart desires. And, we found something at Trader Joe’s that combines all the flavors from the Disney World restaurant into one!
La Cantina de San Angel
Trader Joe’s Chicken Chilaquiles Rojo is a pre-made Mexican bowl that is frozen so you can enjoy it whenever you please! It has grilled white chicken meat, cotija cheese, vegetables, pinto beans & corn tortilla chips in a tomato-based chile sauce. While this isn’t mimicking one item on the menu at Disney, it has all the Mexican flavors to make you feel like you’re dining over World Showcase Lagoon.
©Trader Joe’s
You can find it in the frozen section for $4.99.
And, the last snack to take you on your journey through Walt Disney World from home is the heavenly combination of croissants and chocolate. If you’ve ever found yourself craving French flavors in Disney World, you’re probably familiar with Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie. This little bakery is located in the back of the France Pavilion at EPCOT and serves up sweet and savory pastries and sandwiches. And, we’re talking about one of their sweeter items here, the Pain au Chocolat (aka, chocolate croissant). They’re everything you’d expect out of a chocolate-filled croissant — big and delicious! And, you don’t have to stop by your Starbucks at home to be reminded of the Disney World Snack!
Chocolate croissants from Les Halles
Trader Joe’s sells a box of 4 Chocolate Croissants for $4.49 in the frozen section that satisfies that need for something sweet and savory! They also sell Almond Croissants so you can even find another treat that reminds you of the restaurant!
©Buzzfeed
Add all these snacks to your grocery list and head on over to Trader Joe’s! You’ll be feeling like you’ve traveled all around Walt Disney World for at least the next week! Plus, you get a Trader Joe’s trip out of it all and it’s known as the “Disney World of grocery stores” after all!
