food IS a theme park
Have you ever blindly booked a reservation for a hotel, sight unseen? It seems like our old pal Goofy did just that.
This hotel could use a little upkeep!
While we were over by The Tower of Terror in Dinsey’s Hollywood Studios, we happened to catch Tourist Goofy getting ready to check-in! We hope he knows just what kind of vacancy he’s filling… .
Some things at Disney World have stayed (relatively) the same over several years. You can still hop on a boat and sing an extremely catchy tune at “it’s a small world,” there are still lots of Disney hotels to stay at, and (of course) you can still say “hello” to Mickey Mouse in the parks.
Hey There Mickey, Minnie, and Pluto!
But, lots of things in Disney World have also changed over the past few months, and many more changes are on the way. The Magical Express will be ending, new PAID FastPass-like systems will be introduced to the parks soon, and more changes have already been announced. When fan-favorite things go away or new things are introduced to the parks, there can be some frustration. So, we reached out to our fantastic DFB readers via Facebook and Instagram to see what upcoming changes frustrate them the most.
Even if you plan out every detail of your Disney World trip, things can still be unpredictable.
Rain in Disney
Rides can shut down, the weather can be bad, or transportation can be late. Sometimes you can even have issues with where you’re staying on property, which is exactly what happened today at a popular Disney hotel.
EPCOT’s International Food & Wine Festival officially started back in July, but Disney’s not done yet! More booths were expected to open October 1st, but in typical 2021 fashion…things happened a little differently than expected.
This is Spaceship Earth
That’s why we’re bringing you our best of the fest round two in mid-August because we’ve got more Disney food to review and more tips to give to help you have the best time possible at EPCOT’s Food & Wine Fest!
Lots of things are changing at EPCOT as part of that park’s massive transformation.
EPCOT
Once the transformation is complete, EPCOT will have a whole new ride themed to Guardians of the Galaxy, a new area called the Play! pavilion, and much more. One part of the EPCOT transformation that some fans may be particularly excited about is the return of a reimagined Club Cool. This spot is set to open soon, and today we finally got a sneak peek at what it looks like!
You’ve spent HUNDREDS, and maybe even THOUSANDS, of dollars for a perfect Walt Disney World vacation, spent *days* securing your dining reservations, and spent time packing everything you think you might possibly need while at the parks.
Magic Kingdom
The last thing you need to spend energy on? Worrying about everything that could possibly go wrong.
So we did that for you!

Many restaurants around Disney World have been reopening recently!
Cinderella’s Royal Table
Resort restaurants like Boma and Toledo have returned, as well places in the parks like Columbia Harbour House! We’ve been back to dine inside Cinderella Castle for dinner, since the restaurant reopened last year, and now, Disney has announced that breakfast is coming back to the castle, too! And, guess what? Reservations JUST opened up!
Disney is much more than just theme parks and movies — they work on a LOT of other projects all around the world!
Cinderella Castle
Disney recently announced that they would be relocating about 2,000 employees to Lake Nona in Orlando, as it is becoming a popular area. Today, let’s take a look at a new potential real estate project involving Disney!
Calling all milkshake fans! BoardWalk Ice Cream in Disney World has a new menu addition.
BoardWalk Ice Cream
Maybe you’ve already tried the Candy Corn Milkshake in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and you’re looking for your next Disney World milkshake to try. Well, you’re in luck! BoardWalk Ice Cream just added milkshakes to the menu! And you know what’s better than trying only one milkshake? Trying TWO milkshakes!
Health and safety measures have continued to change for Disney guests and Cast Members.
Cinderella Castle
Recently, the face mask rules changed to require guests to wear masks indoors at the theme parks after the CDC updated its guidelines. In July, Disney announced that salaried and non-union employees would be required to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Now, Disney and Union leaders have come to an agreement on the mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations.
