WARNING: A CLASSIC Magic Kingdom Ride Closes Tomorrow in Disney World

By 1 Comment

Okay, so a LOT is going on in Magic Kingdom now, and we get it — our heads are spinning, too, trying to keep up with all of it.

Jungle Cruise

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opened. Country Bear Jamboree reopened with a new show. A WHOLE new Cars land is coming that will replace Tom Saywer Island and Rivers of America (and we’re still not sure HOW to feel about that). PLUS a Villains land is on the way. So in all that chaos, you might have missed an important announcement about a classic ride in Magic Kingdom. So we’re filling you in: Jungle Cruise will temporarily close as of tomorrow.

OH NO, NOT TODAY. We Need to STOP THIS in Disney World Before It Becomes a Trend

By 24 Comments

We often talk about things that annoy us in Disney World — now, don’t get us wrong, we’re still feeling pretty magical in the Most Magical Place on Earth, even when we are a little annoyed.

Magic Kingdom

But sometimes, it’s just TOO hot and muggy in Florida, y’all. Sometimes, there are BUGS. Random rainstorms still catch us by surprise (but we have learned to pack rain gear, even on sunny days). Sometimes, our favorite ride is closed. Sometimes, we’re annoyed at what other people do in Disney World. That’s okay, though, because we recently asked YOU, our DFB readers, about some things that annoy you on Haunted Mansion. There was one thing, though, that some of you mentioned: we think it deserves its own spotlight, and we HOPE this trend stops soon.

The Disney World Mistake You’ll Make in September

By Leave a Comment

Can you believe that we are nearing the end of August already?!

Magic Kingdom

Spooky season is in full swing at Disney World as we enter September. Schools have started in many parts of the country, and fall is just around the corner. Now is one of the times that people love going to Disney World. The temperatures begin to cool off, the fall and Halloween decorations are the favorites for many people, and since school has started the crowds aren’t always as busy as in the middle of the summer. However, there are a few mistakes that we worry people may make if they’re headed to the parks in September. So here are a few reminders to help you plan your next trip!

Magic Kingdom’s Wait Times CHANGED This Week, and We Think We Know Why

By Leave a Comment

Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando! Recently, an interesting pattern of wait times has developed, and we need to discuss it.

Storm clouds over the Magic Kingdom…

Disney World saw one of its most iconic — and popular — attractions return this week. Peter Pan’s Flight ended its refurb early and immediately changed the wait times landscape at the Magic Kingdom. Meanwhile, guests continued to get used to the new  Lighting Lane Multi Pass system.

By Leave a Comment

We’re used to rides closing from time to time in Disney World.

The rides may close for extended re-theming and construction or for temporary refurbishments. Peter Pan’s Flight recently reopened EARLY in Magic Kingdom with an all-new scene, and now this week, another opening day ride in Magic Kingdom will be closing for its own refurbishment. Along with this ride, a shooting arcade, a water park, food courts, and more will continue to be closed this week!

It’s probably going to take us a bit longer to get over all that happened during the D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event.

Over the days since, we’ve gotten more details about it, but we’re just hungry for more so we did a little digging and we’ve got to talk about what we’ve found!

Well, This Is Odd. Disney World’s New Lightning Lane Trend Is Downright CONFUSING!

By 4 Comments

Here at DFB, we’re a team of Disney experts. This doesn’t just mean we go to the parks and hotels every single day for the fun of it, but we make it our mission to report on any and all changes, discounts, menu updates, and closures happening in Disney World so that you can be prepared for your vacation.

Disney World

One of the biggest recent changes we’ve covered is Disney’s new paid skip-the-line service. Now, you can plan ahead and book timed reservations to visit your favorite Disney World attractions! While this concept isn’t necessarily brand-new, there are a lot of little details and tricks you should know before your next trip to Disney World. In fact, we just noticed a strange trend, and we need to talk about it!

“This Is the Most Ridiculous Concept Art I Have Ever Seen.” Disney Just Made Some BOLD Promises, but Can They Keep Them?

By 2 Comments

Imagine you’re the CEO of The Walt Disney Company. You’ve got a lot on your plate. There’s the ever-precarious state of Disney+, which gains and loses subscribers on a quarterly basis. There’s the Parks and Experiences division, with rising costs and a passionate fanbase. And then there’s your competition, who is building a brand-new theme park in your backyard, and no one will let you forget it. They don’t pay you the big bucks for nothing!

Disney World

But since you’re an excellent CEO, you put on a brave face and try your best to give the people what they want. What do the people want? An answer to Epic Universe. A place for the Disney Villains. New attractions that are innovative yet nostalgic yet creative yet timeless. Easy, right? At D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, Disney did its best to cater to fans. They unveiled a Monsters, INC. coaster that fans have been talking about for years. They announced a new nighttime parade to assuage the live entertainment fans. They even confirmed that a Villains Land will, in fact, be built “beyond Big Thunder Mountain” in Magic Kingdom. But despite the news, fans were quick to voice their concerns. Is it fair to judge so soon?
