food IS a theme park
The Bears are BACK in town!
The NEW Country Bear Musical Jamboree!
After months of refurbishment, the Country Bears are officially back at the Magic Kingdom. However, this isn’t your father’s Country Bear Jamboree. The opening day Magic Kingdom attraction has been completely reimagined!
Today is the day, friends!
The NEW Country Bear Musical Jamboree!
Country Bear Jamboree, an opening day attraction, closed in January for a refurbishment/to introduce a new version of the iconic attraction. We’ve been keeping up with all the latest news and updates over the course of these last few months, and today, the day has finally come for the new show to open to the public! But are people actually excited about the revamped show?
Who doesn’t love a few — or a SLEW of!!! — GREAT tips for their Disney World vacation? We sure do. But something we love even more is letting YOU in on them!
“I’M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!”
So, here’s the scoop… If you’re looking for a starter list, we also invite you to watch our DFB YouTube video featuring 50 NEW Tips for 2024 right here. And if you’re looking for more ways to REALLY add some ease to your trip, you can get into the nitty gritty right here with 50 EASY Tricks for Your 2024 Disney World Trip! All of these Disney World tips and tricks have three things in common: they’re quick, they’re easy, and they’re hard won from our team members on the ground in Disney World every single day.
We have our team in the Disney World parks EVERY day, and we see a lot of things.
Chip and Dale in Dinoland!
One of the things we see most often is families making “simple” mistakes that end up affecting the entire rest of their day, and sometimes even trip! We’ve seen people collapse from dehydration and/or heat exhaustion during the summer when they don’t listen to what their body is telling them, get on the Magic Kingdom Monorail thinking it’s going to EPCOT (and vice versa), and quite often, we see people of all ages walk right past the warning signs for a ride and hop on, only to MAJORLY regret it after. We asked our readers on Facebook what ride they’ll NEVER go on again, and we think you already know what the answer is.
One of the oldest attractions in Magic Kingdom is getting a much-needed UPDATE!
Carousel of Progress
Carousel of Progress in Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland has been through a few different updates over the years, with a pretty major one back in 2022 that brought updated outfits to many of the animatronic characters in the show’s various scenes. Now, another (but smaller) update has hit this popular attraction!
Okay, we’re just going to come out and say it: It is HOT in Disney World right now.
Things are heating up — literally — in Disney World
It’s summer in Florida, so OF COURSE, it’s hot. This year, though, we’ve already seen record-breaking temperatures, which means a day at the parks can be, well, sweaty and miserable. Now, we’re the first to make recommendations on ways to beat the heat while you’re in the parks (cooling towels, portable fans, staying hydrated, etc.), but we’ve got one surefire trick that always makes us feel better when we’re traipsing around Magic Kingdom on a hot day.
Did Disney just open its most expensive ride update ever? Experts believe that may be the case!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
The Disney Parks are fresh off the grand opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Disney World and we’re still eagerly anticipating the California counterpart at Disneyland Park at some point this year. We’ve learned a TON about the new attraction since it was announced back in 2020, and recently it was discovered that the new attraction might be the most expensive ride update in the history of Disney!
Disney Vacation Club (DVC) is Disney’s “timeshare” (in quotes because it’s not exactly that) program that allows guests to lock in their “future vacations at today’s purchase price.”
DVC Welcome Center in Disney Springs
Instead of being locked into a specific Disney World hotel, Disney Cruise Line ship, or Disney resort, DVC members use a Vacation Point System to allow flexibility for when, where, and how long they’d like to stay. If you’re a DVC member, we have exciting news — you’ll want to visit a Disney resort over the course of the next month or so to get these NEW perks!
A NEW addition is coming to a popular Disney World perk.
Magic Kingdom
A brand-new version of one of Magic Kingdom’s most legendary opening-day attractions is set to reopen this week… AND join the park’s lineup of offerings for the hotel guest-exclusive Extended Evening Hours!
Are you at that point where basically nothing shocks you anymore? (I know we are!)
