It’s the Fourth of July, and we’ve been celebrating by having re-runs of Hamilton back to back (which is pretty patriotic, in our humble opinions!).

Although you might not be able to go the parks to ring in the holiday with the Muppets and all our other friends in Disney World, you can still party Disney style with treats all over the Disney Resorts!

While we’ll be taking you all around the hotels to try their Fourth of July treats, we’re stopping at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort (after snacking on that AMAZING cupcake at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort). Although we’ve already tried the Fourth of July Blondie Pop at the Grand Floridian, we’re snagging the star-spangled Fourth of July Cupcake(s) too!

Gasparilla Island Grill is featuring the new treats on Mobile Order with three mini-cupcakes made with classic chocolate cake, vanilla buttercream frosting, sprinkles, and sugar stars. While the flavors were pretty normal for a cupcake, the chocolate cake was moist and the frosting was perfectly sweet (just like we like it!!).

The package comes with three cupcakes so they’re super shareable between your family members and friends! Although the cupcake at Disney’s Polynesian Resort had a twist on the chocolate cake and vanilla buttercream combo, Grand Floridian’s Fourth of July cupcake is a great option for anybody who wants a straight-forward (but great) Disney cupcake!

You can get the 3-pack of cupcakes for $5.49 just in time for the most patriotic of U.S.A. holidays!

Here’s how you can watch Disney World fireworks from the comfort of your own home!

How are you celebrating the Fourth of July today? Let us know in the comments below!

We’ve already found a few patriotic treats around Disney World!

We’ve been on a cupcake kick! We tried the Fourth of July cupcakes at both Capt. Cook’s and Sprinkles in Disney Springs. So now, let’s switch it up and try the Blondie Pops we spotted on the menu at Gasparilla Island Grill in Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort!

We think snacks are a great way to celebrate a holiday! So we swung by Gasparilla Island Grill to give the 4th of July Blondie Bomb Pops a try!

One thing we noticed about the blondie right away — it’s definitely cuter in the bag! It was super melty, and as soon as we unwrapped it, the blondie started sliding down the stick!

So, is this more than just an Instagram-worthy treat? Our blondie was a little bit dry, and the icing was super sweet — but if you have a huge sweet tooth, it might be up your alley!

Also, it’s worth repeating that this was a VERY messy treat! So if you plan on grabbing on, we recommend having plenty of napkins or wet wipes handy!

Oh yeah, and make sure you get all of your pretty pics BEFORE you unwrap it!

Like most holiday treats, the 4th of July Blondie probably won’t stick around for long — but you can snag this snack for $4.99 at Gasparilla Island Grill while supplies last!

Check out our review of the Fourth of July Cupcake at Capt. Cook’s!

The parks might not be open yet, but Disney World has still found a way to celebrate the holiday!

In fact, there are several ways to celebrate the Fourth of July, Disney-style! You can catch a virtual viewing of the Magic Kingdom fireworks show, find great deals at Disney Springs, and enjoy some patriotic treats! Speaking of star-spangled snacks, we spotted a gorgeous Fourth of July cupcake at Capt. Cook’s in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort that we just had to try!

It’s hard for us to resist a cupcake — especially one as pretty as this!

We spotted this Fourth of July cupcake at Capt. Cook’s. For sanitary reasons, we weren’t allowed to pick it up until we confirmed we were going to buy it!

This patriotic treat consists of a chocolate cupcake, with raspberry cream cheese filling, buttercream frosting, sprinkles, and a chocolate Mickey! And Mickey was even topped with some edible glitter!

The flavors reminded us of the Welcome Back Cupcake we tried at Capt. Cook’s a few weeks ago. And that’s definitely a compliment because this cupcake was DELICIOUS! It was rich and flavorful — and it’s an added bonus that it looks as good as it tastes!

But seriously, helloooo beautiful!

We’re on a 4th of July treats quest in Disney World today! Here’s the cute new option from the Poly! pic.twitter.com/fgwv0hcki1

We grabbed this cupcake at Capt. Cook’s for $5.99. Since it’s a holiday treat, it probably won’t stick around for long. But if you’re at the Polynesian Village Resort for the holiday, we definitely recommend giving this snack a try!

The NBA will soon be heading to Disney World to finish their 2019-2020 season. The players will also be staying on property, and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort is one of the hotels expected to be used for housing.

A few days ago, a mysterious fence started going up across Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. And, while Disney hasn’t released information about the purpose of this project, the timing is definitely interesting!

While the pictures we previously shared showed us how BIG and BRIGHT BLUE the new temporary fence appears to be, we couldn’t really estimate the scale of the installation.

That is, until TODAY! Today, bioreconstruction shared images of the temperature check tents that are popping up around Disney World — and he also captured an aerial photo of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort! As you can see from the picture below, the new blue fence bisects the resort!

Regardless of whether or not this construction is related to the NBA, there are some projects that definitely are — like these new practice courts! We’ll continue to keep an eye out for any official updates from Disney about the purpose of the new fence!

Why it seems like only yesterday we told you guys we’d expanded our Disney Food Blog apparel line
and added the ability to get many of our most-popular graphic tee designs printed on face masks now!

But hold the phone — that’s because it HAS only been ONE day since we officially launched our new DFB face mask collection! And believe it or not, we’ve already added a TON of new styles!

Are you ready to take your love for Disney Food Blog to the next level? We want you guys to have the BEST time and be safe out there, whether you’re heading to the parks this summer, or just stayin’ home! And while we take great pride in equipping you guys with the best tips and tricks we know for winning at the parks, we want to equip you with some pretty swanky (if you ask us) official DFB face masks too!

We’ve made sure our one-size-fits-all cloth face maks will provide full-coverage for your nose and mouth. These are non-medical grade face coverings, but they will meet CDC requirements and you’ll be able to wear them inside the Disney parks or anywhere else! Each style costs $14, has two 6″ elastic straps to loop around your ears, and some are even customizable!

For every mask you buy, we’ll donate $1 to No Kid Hungry, so let’s start the DFB face mask fashion show!

We’ve picked out this Popsicle Mask for all of our Andy’s Room crew! The design captures one of our favorite walls in Toy Story Land!

It will be a sweet start to your day with this cute Orange Bird Mask! Citrus swirl, anyone?

The pattern of this Mickey Bar Mask features another one of our favorite frozen treats! We love trying new foods at the parks, but these classic beauties will always be a staple of our theme park diets.

And you know we had to design a Num Num Cookie Mask, because what sort of friend would we be if we didn’t?

For those among us with an insatiable sweet tooth, we’ve whipped up a batch of these adorable Candy Confectionery Masks!

And our Most Beautiful Mask is inspired by another favorite wall of ours at Disney’s Animal Kingdom — can you guess which one?

It’s sprinkles a-go-go with this vibrant Cupcake Mask! This one accurately captures our enthusiasm each time we bite into a Mickey-shaped snack!

You know you’re in for a GROOVY sorta day when you slip on this Flower Power Mask! Yeah, baby!

We followed our hearts with this next style and it led us to the Purple Wall! If you pick out a Purple Wall Mask for yourself, you gotta tag us in your selfie when you post!

And if you just want to DFB it up with us, check out our pretty DFB Face Mask! It’s got some cool color blocking happening and our little logo is on the side! That way you can let people know you roll with US!

And finally, we had to throw in a new Let’s Win Face Mask because we’re all working hard and PLAYING even harder!

We’d love some input from you guys, so if there’s a snack, ride, or park we haven’t covered, let us know! We also want you to know everything we know about wearing a face mask in Disney World before you go and for even more sage advice on wearing a mask at a theme park all day, click here!
