BREAKING: Disney Takes Next Step In Replacing Bob Iger!

By 4 Comments

Disney fans were stunned back in 2022 when the CEO of The Walt Disney Company, Bob Chapek, stepped down, only to be replaced by Bob Iger, who held the position before Chapek. Ever since Iger’s return, there’s been speculation about who will replace Iger when he (re)retires in 2026.

Over the past few years, Iger has faced several challenges, navigating the complex world of streaming, turning things around for the parks, and battling with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Iger has made it clear that he plans to step down soon, leaving fans to wonder: who’s next?

Well, This Is Odd. Disney World’s New Lightning Lane Trend Is Downright CONFUSING!

By 4 Comments

Here at DFB, we’re a team of Disney experts. This doesn’t just mean we go to the parks and hotels every single day for the fun of it, but we make it our mission to report on any and all changes, discounts, menu updates, and closures happening in Disney World so that you can be prepared for your vacation.

Disney World

One of the biggest recent changes we’ve covered is Disney’s new paid skip-the-line service. Now, you can plan ahead and book timed reservations to visit your favorite Disney World attractions! While this concept isn’t necessarily brand-new, there are a lot of little details and tricks you should know before your next trip to Disney World. In fact, we just noticed a strange trend, and we need to talk about it!

NEWS: Potential Leak Causes Multi-Day Closure at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort

By Leave a Comment

During a recent visit to Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground, we spotted a closure that may impact transportation.

Fort Wilderness Entrance

Every once in a while, we run into transportation detours, delays, and cancelations. Back in the spring, all boat transportation to Disney Springs was temporarily closed due to low water levels and construction. Even special events like runDisney races can cause transportation disruptions, so we often recommend reading up on any ongoing construction or road closures before your trip. You don’t want to be caught off guard on your way to an important reservation, after all!

“This Is the Most Ridiculous Concept Art I Have Ever Seen.” Disney Just Made Some BOLD Promises, but Can They Keep Them?

By 2 Comments

Imagine you’re the CEO of The Walt Disney Company. You’ve got a lot on your plate. There’s the ever-precarious state of Disney+, which gains and loses subscribers on a quarterly basis. There’s the Parks and Experiences division, with rising costs and a passionate fanbase. And then there’s your competition, who is building a brand-new theme park in your backyard, and no one will let you forget it. They don’t pay you the big bucks for nothing!

Disney World

But since you’re an excellent CEO, you put on a brave face and try your best to give the people what they want. What do the people want? An answer to Epic Universe. A place for the Disney Villains. New attractions that are innovative yet nostalgic yet creative yet timeless. Easy, right? At D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, Disney did its best to cater to fans. They unveiled a Monsters, INC. coaster that fans have been talking about for years. They announced a new nighttime parade to assuage the live entertainment fans. They even confirmed that a Villains Land will, in fact, be built “beyond Big Thunder Mountain” in Magic Kingdom. But despite the news, fans were quick to voice their concerns. Is it fair to judge so soon?

The Best Men’s Sandals for Disney World

By 1 Comment

Attention, Disney dads! If you’re planning to visit Disney World soon, you might want to take a hard look at your closet and decide if you’ve got the right shoes for the job. Walking through Disney World is no walk in the park (even though you are, technically, walking through a park). It’s EXHAUSTING being on your feet all day in a theme park, and you need the right shoes to survive the day.

Partner’s Statue

That’s where we come in. We’ve done the research, and we found the six BEST pairs of sandals for Disney World. Sure, sneakers are nice, but Florida is often wet, rainy, and HOT, and you don’t want to walk around with a damp, smelly pair of shoes all week. We often recommend sandals instead. Come along with us and let’s talk shoes!
