food IS a theme park
Waiting is a typical part of any theme park experience. You probably expect to wait in lines for rides, food, or merchandise, but there may be a wait you haven’t thought about.

If you plan to drive to Disney World, you may anticipate simply parking your car and walking into a Disney Park. Easy peasy. But if you want to be inside a Disney Park as quickly as possible, there’s a wait you might not have considered.

Plans for a 2021 Disney World visit typically include park passes, hotel reservations, and theme park tickets. But with the 50th Anniversary being a BIG event, you’ll want to get started on that trip planning very early. So, recently we took a look at Disney World resort hotel availabilities and pricing for the 50th anniversary, right around October 1st, 2021. What does hotel availability look like right now? What spots are already booked up and what’s still available (if anything)? We’re breaking it all down for you here!

We get it, picking a restaurant to visit in Disney World is SO HARD. There are so many choices!! And as a first-timer, it can be suuuuper overwhelming.
Cinderella’s Royal Table
Don’t worry, DFB to the rescue! We put out a poll on Facebook asking which Disney World restaurant first-timers should ALWAYS try on their first visit. You, our readers, all had SO many good recommendations (we love the passion in our fellow Disney-lovers!). We went through each response and narrowed down the spots with the most shout-outs, and put them all in one easy list!Â
You can probably guess based on our name, but here at DFB, we’re all about Disney food!
Let’s talk about FOOD.
Over the years we’ve spent talking about Disney food, we’ve heard a lot of crazy things: some that were true, but quite a few that aren’t. People make all kinds of assumptions about the food at Walt Disney World, and we’re here to set the record straight. Today, we’re debunking some absolute lies about Disney World restaurants!
Over the years (especially over the last several months since the parks have reopened), Disney World has introduced a number of ways technology can be used to offer a more frictionless experience for its guests. Heads up — they all love the world “mobile!”
Harambe Market Mobile Ordering
Many of us are well acquainted with Mobile Order, a contactless way to order food at various Counter Service locations. There’s also Mobile Dine Check-In, Mobile Check-Out at certain gift shops, and even MagicMobile just debuted, offering guests an alternative to MagicBands. But one of the biggest game-changers when it comes to planning your Disney vacation is hiding in plain sight all around Disney World (and on My Disney Experience): Mobile Dine Walk-Up Waitlist.
It’s no secret that the DFB team LOVES Disney World!
Mission: SPACE
Many of our team members visit Disney World frequently. Some of us visit once or twice a year while others head to the theme parks daily. What can we say? We can’t get enough of Mickey, churros, and rides on Space Mountain! Collectively, we have done practically EVERYTHING at Disney World. However, we polled the team to see what attractions and experiences are often overlooked or we’ve never had the chance to experience. Here are the results!
The 2020 holiday season is starting now at Disney World! And, here at the DFB we’re kicking it off with the launch of the DFB Guide to the Walt Disney World® Holidays 2020 e-Book!

Chef’s Table Champagne Toast at Victoria & Albert’s
While we love a signature dining experience like Victoria & Albert’s, there certainly comes a time when we have to wonder if it’s still worth the price. If you’ve been considering booking the Chef’s Table, you now have a lot to consider. Let’s break the entire experience down to determine if a $425 dinner at Disney World is really worth it.
