food IS a theme park
If you are heading to Magic Kingdom in the next few days, we have some important news about one of its iconic attractions!
Magic Kingdom
One of Magic Kingdom’s attractions is suddenly closed down and we have the details for you about when it will be reopening.
Let’s go dining at Disneyland!
Naples Ristorante
The Disneyland Resort is known to have some really amazing dining options and the Downtown Disney District is home to several. One of our favorites, Naples Ristorante E Bar, recently changed up its menu so we headed over to try out some new offerings and see if this location is still worth visiting!
Some new eats are making their way down the bayou to Tiana’s Palace just in time for the opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Disneyland Park!

Disney just announced some new eats and an adorable souvenir straw clip that will be available to celebrate the opening of the rethemed ride on the West coast.
We had a BLAST at the first 2024 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party on November 8th!
2024 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
There is lots to do at this annual holiday party in Magic Kingdom! You can enjoy exclusive entertainment, free cookies and hot cocoa, shorter wait times for attractions, and, of course, the famous snoap on Main Street, U.S.A. There are also fun holiday character meet and greets to enjoy, but there’s one we recommend skipping, and the reason why is a SECRET we’re going to share with you!
It was a BIG weekend for Disney fans. Not only was it the opening nights of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Disney Jollywood Nights at Disney World, but the D23 Brazil expo was also happening all weekend long in São Paulo.

Disney fans were treated to a weekend full of fun, including some exciting announcements about what is coming soon for Disney fans!
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!
Okay, so the last time I was in Disneyland, as a Star Wars nerd, I ended up spending a LOT of time in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

So while my friends rode Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run (and sorta got stuck on it), I was enjoying a Cold Brew Black Caf and sitting UNDER the Falcon, just enjoying a quiet evening in Batuu. Then, a Cast Member came up and told me I had to move because the fireworks were starting soon. Okay, so I was confused. But wait…then Cast Members came out and blocked out an area near the Falcon for fireworks viewing. Yes, you could see the Disneyland fireworks from there (but without the music) — and not a lot of people even knew about it. It was AWESOME…but now things have changed.
The holiday season has officially arrived in Disneyland. Actually, it arrived BEFORE Halloween because Sleeping Beauty Castle got its snow before spooky season ended (it happens every year, but we STILL think it’s a little TOO early).
Snow on Sleeping Beauty Castle
We’re ready to visit the Disney Festival of the Holidays in California Adventure and eat a TON of holiday snacks. However, another Disneyland holiday tradition is coming up soon, too, and that’s the Candlelight Processional. Well, now we know WHEN you’ll be able to see the Candlelight Processional in Disneyland.
