food IS a theme park
There are quite a few things coming to EPCOT before the end of 2023.
EPCOT
By the end of the year, construction will be complete on the massive park transformation, and we can’t wait to walk through the middle of World Celebration again! Further down the road, we’ll be getting CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza, but first, we’ve got some new Moana-themed offerings. And now we’re heading to check one of them out!
There are SO many ways to celebrate the holidays in Orlando!
Holidays in Magic Kingdom
You could head to Disney World and check out Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party or Jollywood Nights, as well as a variety of free offerings in Disney Springs and at the resorts. Or maybe you want to go to Universal Orlando and check out their holiday parade and seasonal celebrations? All of those things are plenty of fun, but while you’re in the area, there’s one more holiday offering that we encourage you to check out.
Do you know what we’re thinking about RIGHT now and most of the time? DESSERT.
Gideon’s Bakehouse
When you’ve got a sweet tooth as bad as we do and you’re in the theme parks all the time, it’s hard NOT to think about all the delicious sweet treats we could be eating. And right now, we’ve got one place on our mind — Gideon’s Bakehouse at Disney Springs. This month, they’ve announced some special seasonal treats!
Disney hotels are expanding, and with them, we’ve been getting NEW restaurants!

We’ll soon be getting updates on the East Coast at Disney’s BoardWalk and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, but now we’ve got an addition to the West Coast as well. The Disneyland Hotel just recently added new villas, but that’s not the only change! We stopped by to check out a new restaurant, and we’re here to share our full review.
There are a few reasons you might want to plan a trip to Disney World in 2024!
Welcome to Disney World!
First of all, the massive transformation of EPCOT will be complete, so you’ll be able to walk through the middle of the park and enjoy all the new offerings. Secondly, we’ll be getting new dining options and hotel updates spread across property. But one of the big draws for many people is that the Disney Dining Plan is finally coming back, and now, there’s a way to save on your food!
Have YOU ever taken a solo trip to Disney World?
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
You might be used to going to the parks with your family and friends, but have you ever thought about going ALONE? Here at DFB, we do it all the time (quite literally, it’s our reporters’ JOB to make solo visits daily). But if you’re new to ridin’ solo in Disney World, it might feel a little strange. That’s why we’ve rounded up this list — 11 reasons why it’s not weird to go to Disney World by yourself!
Planning your next vacation? If so, we’ve got a warning!
Orlando International Airport
We like to warn our readers about potential price increases when they’re traveling to Disney World. You probably know that hotels tend to get a little pricier each year, and that food prices increase frequently. But now, we’re here to issue a warning to those people leaving FROM Orlando! There’s an incoming price increase at the Orlando Airport.
If you’re traveling to EPCOT soon, be prepared for quite a few changes!
EPCOT
From the addition of Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana and the Figment meet and greet to the completion of the construction on World Celebration…the park is a completely different place than it was even just a year ago! And now, we’ve got news about another character meet and greet in EPCOT.
You know what can RUIN a Disney vacation when you don’t see it coming? An unexpected refurbishment!
Haunted Mansion in Disneyland
