food IS a theme park
Disney World restaurants are changing ALL the time.
EPCOT’s France Pavilion
New restaurants open, old restaurants close, and restaurants often get updated menus. We tend to track any and all changes when it comes to Disney World food. Now, this is the time of the year when we start seeing price increases affect nearly ALL Disney World restaurants, and it seems like it’s beginning now with two VERY popular dining spots in the France Pavili0n in EPCOT.
Magic Kingdom sounds like it should be a “magical” experience by default, but take it from someone who knows – you’re gonna need a solid game plan.

So that’s EXACTLY what we’re gonna hook ya up with today, here on DFB Guide!
Disney is having attendance issues with its U.S. parks, but the company seems unconcerned.
Storm clouds over the Magic Kingdom…
On August 7th, the Walt Disney Company released its latest earnings report. Disney Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Hugh Johnston appeared on CNBC’s well-known Squawk Box program to discuss the report. During a wide-ranging interview that touched on subjects ranging from streaming to theatrical films to the upcoming sports bundle Venu service, the executive made some interesting comments about the company’s domestic theme park business.
Sometimes when you’re hungry and walking around Magic Kingdom you’ve just got to stop for the right snack that speaks to you.

So, although we’ve talked a lot recently about the menu changes at Sleepy Hollow — to our beloved Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich and how we tried to doctor the new Mickey Waffle version, some of the other menu items here needed a little love,too. And by love, we mean munchin’ on as a snacky snack! [Read more…]
We go to Disney World every day, and we have learned what is essential for a successful day in the parks!
Magic Kingdom
From FuelRods, neck fans, cooling tools, sunscreen, ear holders, and everything in between, we have figured out the essentials to bring with us into the parks. We are so seasoned in going to Disney World that we have even found the perfect shoes to wear to keep us comfortable on our feet all day! Of course, you need a bag to carry all of these park essentials in! The belt bag is trendy right now, and you can snag a steal of a belt bag at ALDI later this week!
Well, Genie+ has gone away in Disney World (and many might say “Good riddance!”) and has been replaced with Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass.

The good news? This new Lightning Lane system brought back some features from the old FastPass+ system that many Disney fans have wanted. The bad news? It’s still going to cost you money (unlike FastPass+, which was free). However, we spent some serious $$$ to test out both Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass so we could answer ALL your questions about it. In the process, we learned a valuable lesson about the new system.
Have you ever been to Disney World’s hidden crime village?!
Tiny Train Town
Tucked away in the Germany Pavilion at EPCOT is a tiny town filled with trains and turbulence. We’ve often caught its residents in the middle of misdeeds and malarkey. And now, we have to make weekly visits to the village to see what kind of trouble the miniature people are getting into. Let’s go check it out!
Can you believe it? The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is almost here!
EPCOT Food and Wine Festival 2023
EPCOT is hosting this year’s event from August 29th through November 23rd, 2024. There’s going to be so many amazing booths and all kinds of entertainment — We’re so stoked to experience everything! That being said, there is something about the festival this year that’s really ramping up our anxiety to 11, so let’s talk about it!
Disney World is full of divisive topics that we hardly seem to agree on! Even our team seems to be divided over things like which snacks, character meal changes, and which park is the best.

But, Disney fans aren’t always so dysfunctional as there’s a handful of things we ALL seem to agree on!
