food IS a theme park
You said you were looking for a bite at a place that was out of this world, right?
Sci-Fi Dine-In Theatre Restaurant
The Sci-Fi Dine-In Theatre Restaurant in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is a one-of-a-kind eatery that transports you to a retro drive-in movie experience, complete with classic sci-fi films, B-movie trailers, and seating in car-shaped booths, and right now, we’re taking you with us to check out some NEW eats!
There’s a lot coming to Disney World in 2025!
Magic Kingdom
We’ve got construction beginning on the Villains land and Cars-themed land coming to Magic Kingdom, construction on a Monsters Inc. land beginning in Hollywood Studios, an updated Test Track ride with a new theme coming to EPCOT, and construction begins to turn DinoLand U.S.A. into Tropical Americas. And that’s not even all of it! There is an interesting trend though that we’re noticing with some of these announcements — why have no restaurants been announced but two new lounges are on their way?
Okay, so if you’re planning a Disney World trip in 2025, well, you’ve got a LOT to look forward to, and that includes a lot of NEW things.
Magic Kingdom
If you haven’t been to Disney World in the past year or so, you’ve got some new restaurants to check out (like The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers and Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs). Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom is still also pretty new. We’ve seen new shops open up in Disney Springs recently, as well. However, a LOT of NEW things will be opening for the FIRST TIME EVER in Disney World in 2025.
The holiday season has arrived at Disney World, and we are bringing you full coverage of the first night of this year’s Disney Jollywood Nights!
Jollywood Nights
The streets were decked out in festive decor, and our reporters got in the holiday spirit. We tried out everything that Jollywood Nights has to offer to help you decide if the event is worth the price tag.
Happy Holidays from DFB. The holiday season is officially in FULL swing at Disney World now that the holiday decorations are up, the hotel gingerbread displays are ready, and the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom has happened.

We’ve been busy checking out all the holiday snacks around Disney World, too. BUT we’re doing our weekly thing where we take a look at Disney World restaurant menus to see what’s changed — and we’ve got some updates to share with you this week.
It’s been about 2.5 years since the release of MagicBand+ in Disney World (we know, it feels like it hasn’t been that long, right?), and it’s been accepted pretty well.
MagicBand+
MagicBands aren’t required for your vacation in the slightest, and neither is a MagicBand+, but they can make things easier and add a little extra magic. The difference between MagicBand and MagicBand+ is that while both will hold your information and allow you to make purchases, tap into Lightning Lanes, and unlock your hotel room, MagicBand+ needs to be charged regularly so it can interact with the golden statues and other aspects of the Disney World parks. However, Disney recently added some new features to MagicBand+ bands that you won’t want to miss out on!
We’re ushering in the holiday season at Disney World the best way we know how — at exclusive parties, of course!
Disney Jollywood Nights (2023)
This year’s Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios runs from November 9th through December 21st. We visited the very first night, taking in all the sights, sounds, smells, and MORE that the special event has to offer — and right now, we’re checking out all the special photo ops throughout the event!
The first night of Jollywood Nights is here — the holiday season can officially begin!

Now, there’s also Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom, but this party is a little different and it has its own old Hollywood vibe. We’re doing all the things, watching all the entertainment, eating all the food, and more. So we want to give you a look at all the exclusive NEW Jollywood Nights merchandise you can pick up at the event.
