food IS a theme park
It’s a BIG DAY for Disney World fans!! 🎉
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
LOTS of things are changing in Disney World today! The Disney Dining Plan is BACK. Park Pass reservation requirements are GONE for most guests. AND you can now park hop ALL DAY long — no more waiting until 2PM! Of course we’re in the parks all day today covering all the changes; and well, first thing this morning the way Genie+ was working with our annual pass surprised us!
EPCOT’s International Festival of the Arts is coming this week!
2023 EPCOT Festival of the Arts
We recently got a look at the menus for all of the food booths that will be lining the walkways of the park, and we can’t wait to dig in on January 12th! And you know us … we love a challenge! Let’s take a closer look at the 2024 Wonderful Walk of Colorful Cuisine food challenge that’s part of the festival!
If you’re a Starbucks fan, you probably already know that the coffee chain is now letting you use your reusable Starbucks tumblers in the drive-thru or for mobile orders!
Starbucks in Disney World
And we think that warrants a BRAND NEW cup to take to Starbucks. (OK, you’ve got us — we think EVERYTHING warrants the purchase of a new cup.) But seriously, take a look at what we found on shopDisney today!
We recently told you that the fan-favorite nighttime spectacular World of Color ONE would be closing temporarily at Disney California Adventure.
World of Color at Disney California Adventure
It’s one thing when a ride closes — you’re sad that you missed it, but there are plenty more to fill the time during your trip. But when a nighttime spectacular is not available, there’s not much to replace it, and it can feel like that something special is missing at the end of your day. That’s why we’re so happy to tell you that World of Color ONE will be back much sooner than we were expecting!
The Disney World Skyliner gondolas are a fan-favorite form of Disney World transportation.
Disney Skyliner
As we hop around Disney World every day, we love it when our route can include the Skyliner. It’s honestly the BEST ride you can go on at Disney World without a park ticket, right?
A trip to Disney World is supposed to be fun, right?!
Crowds in Magic Kingdom
It absolutely IS fun (we wouldn’t go every. single. day. if it wasn’t), but we’re not going to lie — when we’re facing crowds, or heat, or our favorite ride shuts down suddenly, it can start to feel a bit stressful. We thought we’d share a few things today that we never want to hear you say in Disney World … we promise your stress levels will decrease if you avoid them!
TBH, we are RUNNING this week to bring you news of all the changes happening at Disney World!
Mickey and Minnie are total STARS!
We are bringing you all the ins and outs of the re-introduction of the Disney Dining Plan (which lets you bundle a pre-paid package with your hotel stay to cover your meals on your Disney World vacation), checking out changes to the rules for virtual queues, and we’ll be at the parks on January 9th to test the NEW park hopping rules (you can now park hop anytime and not wait until 2PM 🥳).
Disney World sees more than its fair share of thunderstorms.
A rainy day in EPCOT.
But most of the time, we’re accustomed to seeing those thunderstorms during Florida’s rainy season in the summer. But tomorrow, severe weather could impact Disney World … in January. Let’s take a closer look at the forecast.
Here at DFB, you know that we’re obsessed with Disney food. And that means, we’re always checking out Disney’s menus.
Jolly Holiday
We just spotted TEN new menu items coming to Disneyland Resort this week, and we can’t wait to try them! Let’s take a look!
Living in Florida has its advantages!
Magic Kingdom
Not only do many Floridians live within an easy driving distance of Disney World, but Disney often offers them special deals to keep them coming back. If you live in Florida, keep reading, because we’ve got a BRAND NEW deal for you today!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
