food IS a theme park
Quite a few things are currently closed in Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure just officially opened, but Country Bear Jamboree is still down for refurbishment. Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade just closed permanently to become a new Disney Vacation Club lounge, and Tortuga Tavern is now seasonally closed in Adventureland. Seems like a long list, right? Well, now we’re adding another offering to that group.
There are a LOT of truly spectacular restaurants in Disney World, and then there are some that are…well…NOT.
Let’s go to the Turf Club!
With hundreds of restaurants spread across the property, they can’t all be winners, and we often see the same spots falling to the bottom of the list again and again. Recently, one of those restaurants got an updated menu, so I stopped by to see if it was still as lackluster as we remembered. Come along with me to review The Turf Club Bar & Grill!
Do you know the dastardly deeds of EPCOT’s tiny villagers?
Welcome to the tiny train town!
The tiny train town in the Germany Pavilion in EPCOT has been an epicenter of crime and malarkey for many months now, and we’ve been keeping a close eye on it to see what’s going on. As the town’s self-proclaimed mayor, I try to stop by weekly and reign in the criminals and mischief-makers, so let’s see what they were up to this week!
It’s officially summer in Disney World, and thousands of people are spending their vacations in the parks!
Magic Kingdom
It’s an incredibly popular time for people to visit, but it’s also a challenging time. Why? The weather of course! Central Florida gets incredibly hot and humid in those summer months, and if you’re not used to that weather or spending the entire day in the sun, it can be BRUTAL. But you’re way more likely to have an easy go of things if you dress appropriately for the weather! And here at DFB, we’re ready to help with that.
We’re well into the summer season, and that means it’s HOT when you go to Disney World!
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
Summer in Florida is characterized by ridiculous heat and ridiculous humidity, and typically, a lot of rain. So if you’re traveling in the coming weeks and months, you’ll want to be prepared for the extreme weather. But for those going to the parks this week, we’ve got an extra warning for you!
We spend a lot of time talking about places to eat in the Disney World parks, but it’s just as important to consider where you’ll dine at your Disney World hotel!
Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside
If you’re a foodie, you’ll want to choose a resort that meets your culinary needs, and that likely means you’ll have to spend a little more dough. But what happens if you’re ballin’ on a budget? Well, recently, I headed to one of the moderate resorts in Disney World to check out their quick service dining and report back with a full review!
It’s time for one of the biggest Disney World food events!
Flavors of Florida is here!
Nope, we’re not talking about one of the EPCOT festivals, we’re talking about a culinary offering that doesn’t require a park ticket — Flavors of Florida at Disney Springs! Flavors of Florida kicked off on July 1st and runs through August 11th with over 40 dining locations participating this year. But if you want to take your celebrating to the next level, there’s a big part of Flavors of Florida you should know about!
I have a HOT TAKE about Disney World snacks.
Animal Kingdom
I personally don’t believe that EPCOT or Magic Kingdom have the best snacks…I think it’s Animal Kingdom that takes home this trophy! I know it’s controversial, but with lots of little snack stands spread throughout the park that serve some really interesting and unique treats, I believe the youngest of the Disney World theme parks comes out on top. And recently, I went to a snack stand in Animal Kingdom to do a full review and test this theory!
There are some big no-nos when it comes to going to Disney World.
Cinderella Castle in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom
You shouldn’t break theme park rules or plan too much for your day so that your family gets overwhelmed and exhausted. You shouldn’t skip water breaks throughout the day or yell at Cast Members. But one other common rule that we usually tell our followers — you shouldn’t break in new shoes during your Disney World vacation!
Here at DFB, we know you love being dragged into the drama of the tiny train town!
Train Village in EPCOT
If you’ve followed us for a while, you’ve probably seen our updates from the train village in the Germany Pavilion at EPCOT — that place is absolutely rife with crime. We’ve caught its residents red-handed many times, from murders to robberies to smuggling rings. What’s going on in the rowdy village this week? Let’s take a look!
