food IS a theme park
It’s not uncommon for rides to randomly close in the Disney parks!
Magic Kingdom
Typically, when this happens, there’s a pretty valid reason. We often see outdoor attractions close in inclement weather, rides shut down for refurbishments, or even the occasional technical difficulties. But, there’s one Magic Kingdom ride that seems to be closed more often than many others!
Here at DFB, we like to keep up with some of our favorite Disney celebrities.
Derek and Julianne Hough
Whether they’re heading to the parks, starting new business ventures, or making guest appearances in our favorite shows and movies, we like to know what’s going on. But this week, we were caught completely off guard when we learned a fun fact about a Disney star that we didn’t know. Apparently, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is the “best prom date!”
If you don’t have a park ticket, one of the BEST places to spend your day in Disney World is at Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
This shopping and dining complex is home to some of the best food, dozens of merchandise stores with unique souvenirs, and all kinds of snacks that you can only find here. But if you haven’t been in a few days, things have changed! So today, we’re sharing everything that’s new in Disney Springs.
What’s one of the most DIVISIVE things that could happen to you in Disney World? A ride evacuation, for sure! Confused? Allow us to explain!
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway
For some people, getting evacuated from a Disney World ride can absolutely ruin the day, especially if you’ve got a dining reservation to make, you waited in the queue for an extended period of time, or it’s your first time experiencing the attraction. However, for other people…it’s a dream come true! You get the chance to see a little behind-the-scenes action, and it can honestly be pretty fascinating. Recently, we got evacuated off of one of Disney World’s newest rides, and we thought you might want to see what it’s like!
We’ve had some pretty amazing things to eat in Disney World over the years.
Magic Kingdom
Between meals at signature restaurants, snacks that knocked our socks off, and random food items that were shockingly delicious…we’ve got a well-curated list of favorites. One item that we really loved recently was the Monte Cristo at Magic Kingdom’s Plaza Restaurant, but now we may have to bid it farewell!
There are some REALLY interesting people in the Disney parks.
Disneyland Park
No, we’re not talking about the guests or the random celebrities we spot from time to time — we’re talking about the Disney characters! We’re used to spotting Mickey Mouse and the princesses, and though we love them dearly, we get a little extra excited when we see those “rare” characters out and about. This week, we’re adding to that list with a very cool sighting in Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge!
You’re probably MISSING some things when planning for your Disney World trip.
Disney World
Don’t worry, it’s completely normal to forget a few things — like thinking about transportation between parks or checking to see if that snack you want is still on the menu. And one thing that’s really common to get messed up is hours of operation! What do we mean? Well, many restaurants, attractions, shops, or experiences close at WEIRD times in Disney World, and if you don’t know that before you arrive, you might be disappointed. So today, we’re sharing a full list!
Another week means MORE new merchandise in Disney World!
Magic Kingdom Park 50th Anniversary merchandise
Recently we’ve spotted new Minnie ears, more 50th Anniversary items, and even some new items to celebrate the opening of Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. But what about those who can’t make it to the parks to shop? Well, many of your favorite souvenirs are online and today we’re sharing all the new products that dropped online this week!
It’s Star Wars Celebration time, and there’s a LOT happening that we need to share!
