food IS a theme park
We LOVE taking a break from the parks and spending a day in Disney Springs instead!
Disney Springs
While this shopping, dining, and entertainment district can be just as busy as — or even busier than — the parks some days, it’s still one of our favorite places to stop for some stellar retail therapy and some of the best restaurants around. A while back, we learned that a new store would be coming soon, and now that store is officially open!
Disney World fans are a passionate bunch and that’s never put on display more than when huge changes are announced for the parks.
Muppets Courtyard in Hollywood Studios
The latest update that has fans up in arms is Disney’s announcement that a new Monsters, Inc. land would be taking over the current Muppets Courtyard space in Hollywood Studios. Before the announcement, much speculation had stirred about where exactly the new land would go — and now that we know, fans are convinced Disney just blew a big opportunity.
Disney’s Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show closed on April 2nd, 2016 at Hollywood Studios to make way for expansions to Toy Story Land and, eventually, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

The Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show took place in the Streets of America (RIP) backlot area and brought the audience behind the scenes filming an epic stunt scene from a fabricated action movie. And, although it no longer exists at Disney World (or Disneyland Paris, where it originated) — there’s still one place where you can go and see it.
Happy Thanksgiving, DFB friends!

We hope you’re ready for a day filled with fun, friends, family, and our favorite — food, of course! As part of this year’s festivities, we’re keeping our eyes on the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade because not one, but TWO new Disney additions are making their debut. Let’s check them out!
Sometimes after a long day at Disney World, you just need some comfort food. And if it’s late, there’s one spot you can likely find us for some chicken nugs and french fries — McDonald’s!

Plus, we can’t help but still be slightly obsessed with checking out the latest Happy Meal Toys even though we’re definitely way too old for that now. We recently learned that new Happy Meal Toys would be coming to McDonald’s soon, and now they’ve officially arrived!

HERE’S the video you’ve been searching for! It’s an EPCOT CRASH COURSE day, here on DFB Guide!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year — the holiday season at Disney World!
The EPCOT tree has arrived!
The parks have all been decked out in gorgeous decor, festive eats and treats have popped up all around, and in just a few short days, the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays will begin. We can’t wait to eat and drink our way around the festival while taking in all the entertainment and more. Speaking of which, it looks like something exciting has popped up ahead of the festival!
Disney World is going through some serious changes — and we can’t wait to learn more about them!

That’s why we always get so excited about events hosted by D23: The Official Disney Fan Club. Back in August, we attended the D23 Expo where Disney dropped a ton of announcements about park expansions, cruises, movies, and so much more. And, now we know when we might get even more details about what’s in store for the Walt Disney Company!
Disney World’s Lightning Lane Premier Pass may still be new, but it’s already proven to be incredibly popular.

The new skip-the-line service allows each guest who purchases it one one-time entry to each Lightning Lane experience in the selected theme park — but at a pretty hefty price. Still, that hasn’t stopped folks from selling the service out in some parks over the week of Thanksgiving — and on Monday, Lightning Lane Premier Pass sold out in every single Disney World park.
There are plenty of changes going on at Disney World right now — and we’re pretty darn excited about them!
Welcome to the Most Magical Place on Earth!
Over at Animal Kingdom, the new Tropical Americas Land is already underway, and Villains Land and Cars attractions in Magic Kingdom are coming in the future, too. Now that we officially know where the new Monsters, Inc. Land coming to Hollywood Studios will be located, we’re diving into the concept art to see what we can decode.
