food IS a theme park
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations are officially over, and we’re just a little bit nostalgic.

After all, it was 18 months of special entertainment, EARidescent merchandise, and more blue food coloring in snacks than Disney World had probably ever seen. What a time to be alive! But now that the celebrations are over and Disney has moved on to the 100th Anniversary, one of our readers spotted something interesting.
We’re convinced that NOTHING has changed more than EPCOT has in the past few years.
Monorail
Okay, that may be a little dramatic, but hear us out! The park is still covered in construction walls as work is completed on World Celebration and World Nature, but since the EPCOT transformation began, we’ve already seen a new gift shop, multiple new restaurants, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and SO much more. But the construction doesn’t seem to be done yet!
If you’re in the loop with Disney news, then you know that there’s a LOT going on right now.
Cinderella Castle
Between changes coming to the theme parks, new movies getting released in theaters, and The Walt Disney Company’s legal battle with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, there’s plenty to try and keep up with. We’ve been following everything that’s happening, ready to hear more from Disney executives. And that’s exactly what happened today.
Over the years that we’ve spent in Disney World, we’ve received plenty of surprises!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Some were not-so-great like when our favorite rides closed unexpectedly or when we got rained on or when a parade or performance was canceled for technical issues. But other times, we’ve been the recipients of a little “pixie dust” that made our experience in the parks a bit brighter. And one of those magical moments happened recently in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Who’s ready for the summer?!
We’re ready for an afternoon at the pool!
Whether you’re planning to take a Disney cruise and soak in the sun, chill by the pool at a Disney World resort, or simply relax at home, there are some essentials you’ll want for the hottest time of the year. And right now, shopDisney is hosting a flash sale on summer necessities!
Forget words of affirmation, physical touch, or quality time…our love language is BREAD.
Sourdough Bread at Narcoossee’s
Is there really anything better than stuffing the delicious carby treat in your mouth after you’ve slathered it in butter or jam? (Even better if it’s hot out the oven!) Thankfully, Disney World really gets us. We’re convinced Disney restaurants have made it their personal mission to outdo each other with their bread offerings, and we’re certainly not complaining. But after trying dozens (maybe even hundreds) of breads around Disney World, we’re here to tell you which ones are the BEST!
Disney’s 100th Anniversary celebrations are in full swing at the theme parks!

At Disneyland Resort, you’ll find special entertainment, merchandise, snacks, and decorations. In Disney World, we’ve already seen plenty of merchandise collections and some special decor, but more offerings are coming in the future (like a new fireworks show at EPCOT!). And now, we’ve got details about when the next Disney100 offering is arriving!
Here at DFB, we’re experts on the BEST ride seats in Disney World.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
We know that the back row of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is the wildest, that requesting section B1 on Soarin’ will get you the best view, and that well…there really IS no good seat on Kali River Rapids (may the odds be ever in your favor to stay dry!). But what about the Walt Disney World Railroad? Well, we’ve got a tip for that classic Disney ride as well!
Did you know that some of the BEST food in Disney World isn’t even inside the theme parks? The parks have some great restaurants, of course, but there are plenty of places to dine when you don’t have a ticket for the day. Each of the Disney Resorts has at least one restaurant, but the REAL cream of the crop can be found at Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
Disney Springs is home to literally dozens of dining locations, and they’ve got cuisine from all over the world. But if you’re coming to Florida and you want some traditional American eats with a taste from the coast, there’s one place that comes to mind.
We’re taking you shopping with us in Disney World!
Main Street. U.S.A in Magic Kingdom
We visit the Disney World gift shops daily, and sometimes, we find things that we just HAVE to share! From Minnie ears to t-shirts to pins, there always seems to be a new souvenir to buy. And recently, we spotted some fresh new bags that collectors will want to see!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
