food IS a theme park
So many Valentine’s Day treats, so little time… .
Pineapple Lanai
But that still hasn’t stopped us from trying as many Valentine’s Day snacks as we can find at Disney World. Seriously, we’re going to have a massive sugar crash after this weekend after eating things like a bouquet of Mickey and Minnie waffles, a cake with an edible diamond ring, a red velvet whoopie pie, and more! But here we are, having a Valentine’s Day Dole Whip, too!
It’s the big Super Bowl weekend, and the celebrations are already getting started! Whether you planned a special visit to the parks just for the occasion or it’s just a happy coincidence, you might spot some special events (and people) around the parks and resorts!
Super Bowl Celebration in 2020
During our visit to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, we noticed something new, and we have a feeling it has something to do with the Super Bowl weekend.
You can control a LOT of things when it comes to planning a Disney World vacation! Dedicated Disney planners can make dining reservations 60 days in advance, savvy money-savers can look for discounts to apply to their room reservations, and some guests like to control their spending in the parks by using Disney gift cards! But (sadly) we can’t control the weather in Disney World, and last we checked, Disney doesn’t have any plans to build a weather bubble around the parks — darn!
We’re nearing the middle of February already!
Speaking of weather, our friends visiting the parks next week might want to check out the forecast in Orlando, so let’s take a look at next week’s weather forecast in Disney World!
There must be something in the air — we’ve been seeing some crazy things happening in Disney World lately! You might remember the recent double attraction closure caused by a smoky refrigerator in the Magic Kingdom, plus there was the delayed reopening of Splash Mountain! What is going on, Disney?!
Hello from EPCOT!
Well, it looks like Disney just can’t catch a break, because we happened upon ANOTHER evacuation in Disney World this morning — this time it was over in EPCOT!
So apparently Disney World is really popular and a lot of people want to go? Who knew.
Uh…
There used to be such a thing as a “slow season” in Walt Disney World, and we would normally see that around this time of year. After the holidays, attendance normally dips, but that hasn’t really been the case this year. We’ve seen some huge crowds at the parks lately, and Disney even commented on the current theme park capacity. We spotted some more huge crowds today at the Transportation and Ticket Center this morning.
2020 was a BIG year for Disney Minnie ears, with 98 ears released in total!
Minnie Ears!
Now that 2022 is here, we’re taking a look back at every new pair of ears released in 2021! There were some beauties and some surprises, so how do you think 2021 compared to 2020?
Throughout the year, rides close at Disney World for refurbishment. These closures can last days, weeks, and months.
Splash Mountain is open again!
But today, a ride that just had a months-long closure for refurbishment is finally back up and running again. So let’s Zipptiy-Doo-Da over to Magic Kingdom and check it out!
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!

A brand new cavalcade, Disney World airport train info, a THIN MINT DONUT, and your family picture in front of the castle could be preserved in the Smithsonian?
Disney World’s Deluxe Resorts are the fanciest (and usually the most expensive) hotels on property. We recently took you on a tour of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, which is located very close to Magic Kingdom.
EPCOT Area Hotels
Now we’re heading to the EPCOT area to tour another Deluxe hotel over there. There’s actually a pair of fancy hotels right next to each other, and Disney calls them “sister hotels.” Today, we’re taking a look at the “fun” sister in this pair, although you’ll probably agree with us that it still looks like a very upscale experience. These rooms aren’t quite as pricey as the Grand Floridian, but they’re not far off. But you can head inside with us now for FREE to take a look at these rooms! [Read more…]
