food IS a theme park
We spend a LOT of time at the Disney World hotels!
Port Orleans French Quarter
From overnight stays to restaurant reviews to casual visits, we’ve been to every single Disney World resort countless times. And through those visits, we find that some spots are more popular than others! Today we’re sharing the two Disney World hotels that we find to be the most popular among our readers and Disney fans alike.
If you’ve been here a while, then you know that we’re absolutely OBSESSED with plastic cheese here at DFB.
Plastic cheeeeese
If you don’t know about plastic cheese, allow me to enlighten you! It’s a cheese sauce you can find in many places around Disney World that Cast Members will serve you in a little open-top plastic cup, usually for a $1 upcharge. We especially love to dip our Casey’s Corner corn dog nuggets and french fries in it! And if you’re as hooked on plastic cheese as we are, then there’s another meal we HAVE to tell you about!
There are quite a few times when you’ll want to avoid Disney World if you’re averse to crowds!
We LOVE it when the parks are this chill!
There are some obvious answers, including major holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving, as well as holiday weekends, Spring Break season, and the summer. But on top of that, Disney World can get busy with various rogue events, like runDisney races or cheerleading competitions. And now, we’ve got a warning about an upcoming weekend!
We talk about Disney World dining reservations a LOT here at DFB.
Sanaa
There are quite literally hundreds of restaurants in Disney World and dozens of places to make reservations. With all those options, it can feel mandatory that you try some out during your trip. But dining reservations and table service meals aren’t for everyone — we’re here to tell you why making dining reservations for your trip might be a bad idea!
Rope dropping the Disney World parks is a fine art.

It takes precision, planning, and cunning to make the most of the first few hours of the day in Disney World. You need to know exactly where you want to go before you even hit the ground, lest you waste any of that valuable pre-crowd time. And we’re here to WARN you about a common mistake when rope dropping EPCOT!
Ever since Disney World got rid of its complimentary Magical Express airport transportation service, fans have been searching for alternate ways to get to the resort.
Walt Disney World
When traveling from the airport, there are several different paid services you could take, and there was once talk of a Brightline rail station at Disney Springs, though that project was scrapped. But now, it turns out that the idea of a train station in Disney World might not be impossible.
NOW is the time to head to Disneyland Resort!
Gang’s all here for PIXAR FEST!
Why is that? Because it’s Pixar Fest! The beloved celebration has returned this spring/summer with new character meets, special parades, fireworks shows, and so much more. As part of the celebrations, there’s an exciting new character update…and we just HAD to share it with you!
There’s a rogue town that’s bursting at the seams with crime in Disney World!
Spaceship Earth in EPCOT
That’s right, we’re talking about the tiny train village in the Germany Pavilion at EPCOT. We’ve uncovered many villainous plots in this miniature city’s storyline so far, from Godzilla-like bird attacks to murder to robbery…and so much more. But during this week’s visit, we spotted some new happenings!
If you’re getting ready to book dining reservations for your Disney World vacation, you might feel a little overwhelmed.

There are quite literally HUNDREDS of places to dine in Disney World, and it can be very challenging to decide where you should eat during your limited vacation! We’ve been to every restaurant in Disney World and we STILL have a hard time choosing. But if you want to go ahead and get some of those reservations locked down, we’ve got a hack to help you book your dining early!
There’s one Disney World hotel restaurant that has become near and dear to our hearts in the past few years.
Steakhouse 71
Steakhouse 71 opened at Disney’s Contemporary Resort for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary on October 1st, 2021. It replaced The Wave on the first floor of the resort, but it brought a new charm that we really enjoyed! (And we reviewed the food pretty positively, as well!) We first tried breakfast at the restaurant on its opening day, but now we’re back in 2024 to see if it still holds up!
