Two brand new loaded hot dogs join the unique menu at The Friar’s Nook in Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom. While loaded macaroni and cheese and “tater bites” have been a staple at this quick-service dining location lately, new loaded hot dogs are now available as well. Loaded Buffalo Chicken and Tater Bites Hot Dog — $11.49 This hot dog is topped with buffalo chicken, celery, blue cheese, and served with tater tots. We’ve had these toppings before on the […]

April is coming up and there is one VERY exciting event that we’ve got our eyes on — Earth Day!
Tree of Life
Disney has a few celebrations planned for Earth Day, especially over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Did you know that park actually opened on Earth Day in 1998? Still, you don’t have to book a ticket to Disney World to celebrate Earth Day; you can do it from home with a special collectible!
Disney is bringing the 2021 Earth Day Collectible Key to shopDisney soon to celebrate our planet and keeping her safe. It will be released on April 19th, just three days before the holiday!
You might notice that this key doesn’t look like the other collectible keys we’ve seen recently. It looks like it might be made sustainably! We can’t wait to find out next month.
Flowers!
We’ll be on the lookout for this key to become available and for more information. Plus, we might spot MORE fun ways to celebrate Earth Day! Stay tuned to DFB so you don’t miss any updates.

Little did we know that when the Magic Kingdom closed back in March of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we’d be without some of our very favorite classic attractions for more than a year. Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, I’m looking directly at you.
I’ll be the first to admit that as time passes by, Tomorrowland is not my most favorite land in the Magic Kingdom. There are not many attractions in the land that float my boat anymore – or let’s be honest, that I can stomach. Space Mountain makes me a bit too woozy. Astro Orbiter is 100% a no-go; in fact, I’ve never ridden it. I won’t bore you with how I feel about each one of Tomorrowland’s attractions. Still, I do enjoy Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, and most of all, the PeopleMover is my absolute favorite attraction in all of Tomorrowland.
As many of you know, I am only semi-local to the Walt Disney World theme parks, so I don’t get down for a visit as often as I’d like to. I’ve visited three times since the theme parks reopened back in July of 2020, and unfortunately, the PeopleMover has not been open.
I’ve been waiting for an announcement of its reopening with bated breath over here and was really hoping we’d hear something any moment as members of our team have spotted the attraction vehicles moving along its route. One even saw it being pushed by a cast member, making us wonder what in the world was going on.
Unfortunately, I discovered this morning that the PeopleMover now shows that it will remain under refurbishment through [at least] April 30th dashing my hopes and dreams of being able to ride it next month during our Anniversary weekend.
Which Disney attraction are you missing the most these days? Please let me know in the comments below so we can commiserate together.

However, are we getting to the point where the festivals may be returning to normal? I think so, and here’s why. EPCOT Festivals One of my favorite parts about visiting EPCOT is the fact […]

We spotted a fun little throwback today while checking out the new menu at The Friar’s Nook at the Magic Kingdom. The quick-service dining location was known as the Village Fry Shoppe until 2009 and was home to hotdogs and McDonald’s french fries. The old menu board highlighting the restaurant’s offerings at the time was unexpectedly spotted this morning. What is now known as The Friar’s Nook is home to an ever-changing menu of items such as vegan brats, fried […]
