food IS a theme park
Loungefly, why do you keep doing this to us?!?!?!
Need a NEW Loungefly?
Every time we tell ourselves we cannot possibly get another Loungefly bag, you release new designs that we have trouble saying “no” to. A Rescue Rangers bag? Oh, yeah, we’re grabbing that. A glow-in-the-dark Baymax bag? TAKE OUR MONEY. And we absolutely loved the EPCOT Festival of Holidays bag. Well, now, Loungefly, you’ve gone and done it again!!!
When most of us visit Disney World, we fly into and out of Orlando International Airport.
Orlando International Airport
This airport is normally super busy, and we do our best to give you tips and tricks on how best to navigate it. We also tell you to get there SUPER early (the general rule of thumb is three hours) because although there are ways to wait for less time in security lines, other things can derail you there. Well, today, something has come up that could slow you down as you get to and from your gate.
So we all have streaming devices now, right?

Whether it’s a smart TV or something like Google Chromecast or a Roku device, we probably all have a thing that allows us to watch all our favorite shows on Hulu, Disney+, and other streaming services. Well, for a while, you couldn’t GET Disney+ on Roku, which is why it’s interesting that Roku just teased something that might be a collaboration with Disney. Say what?!
Disney brings billions of dollars to the economy of Florida through its several theme parks and tourist experiences.
Cinderella Castle
According to Adam Sacks, President of Tourism Economics, “Disney is also vital to the funding of public services, as it generated taxes of $6.6 billion in 2022, including state and local taxes of $3.1 billion.” Through direct or indirect means, such as employee spending, the local economy is strengthened by Disney World. However, Disney believes they have been overcharged on their property taxes for 2023 and they’re fighting back.

It’s time to put on your shopping shoes, y’all!
Wishing we were here right now!
Or, your comfy pants… this is online shopping, after all. We’ve been doing some scrolling on Amazon today and found some Disney merch that we NEED. There is something here for everyone, so sit back, relax, and click “add to cart” (we know we did). [Read more…]
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!
EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival Topiaries
A brand new restaurant has opened in Disney World, we’ve got dates for EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival, one attraction had a tough time this week, and we found a dupe for one of your favorite Magic Kingdom snacks.
The holidays are here, and many of us have probably already bought all our holiday gifts (including a few for ourselves), advent calendars, and decor.
Need a NEW Loungefly?
So now we have to look forward to the next big holiday, which is…as you may have guessed, Valentine’s Day. Well, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Valentine’s Day merchandise is now starting to drop online, including some SUPER adorable Stitch Loungeflys that we are 100% obsessing over.
Are you a collector of all things Disney? How about a fan of Starbucks mugs? You’ll want to keep reading if you answered yes to either of those questions!
Starbucks
We get excited anytime we learn there’s a new Disney x Starbucks tumbler or mug. These items can be SUPER popular. Just think about the Nightmare Before Christmas tumbler that had come out before Halloween. It sold out incredibly fast– even the second time after they restocked it! Now, we’ve heard that a new mug will be appearing on shopDisney in January, and we have a feeling it’s going to be so hard to get your hands on.
Choo choo! Who doesn’t love a relaxing ride around Magic Kingdom on the good old Walt Disney World Railroad?
Walt Disney World Railroad
A lot has changed since the first steam engines were invented. These days, travelers can zip from place to place in the blink of an eye, thanks to high-speed bullet trains all over the world. It’s pretty incredible if you stop and think about it. We’ve come a long way! Speaking of coming a long way, have you ever traveled in a bullet train? After reading this news, you might be tempted!
