food IS a theme park
After a long and notable absence, a missing Magic Kingdom ride feature has FINALLY returned!
Welcome, foolish mortals!
Not long after the installation of the Hatbox Ghost in the Haunted Mansion attraction at Magic Kingdom, we noticed that the floating candelabra in the Endless Hallway scene was MISSING. Just last month, we were beginning to worry that change was permanent. Fortunately, we can gladly report that is NOT the case!

We’ve known for a while now that Disney Springs would be home to a brand new nighttime drone show – Disney Dreams That Soar – beginning this summer. Now, we’ve gotten an exclusive peek at the show thanks to one of our readers.
Here on the DFB team, we’ve got a lot of longtime Disney fans, and that list includes several former Cast Members!
Cast Members
We’ve had people from our team work in all kinds of fields in Disney World — from entertainment to merchandise to food and beverage to attractions. And during those stints working at the parks, they experienced some wild things! Today, we’re sharing the WORST things our former Cast Members experienced when working Disney World rides.

Disney has been dropping a ton of details about what we can expect on the opening day, and we’re getting closer to Cast Member, Annual Passholder, D23 Members, and Disney Vacation Club Member previews, too.

Magic Kingdom can be quite a hectic place, we get it!

You can make your trip less stressful by researching and booking what dining reservations you want ahead of time, making a loose plan of what you’d like to accomplish during your trip, and packing all your essentials. However, some of the stressors from your trip will likely come from other people’s actions that you can’t police — in fact, 90% of Disney fans want to BAN these things from Magic Kingdom!
Although things have been relatively quiet in Disney World recently, at least since Spring Break, things are about to get a lot busier this weekend.
We expect to see a lot of people in Disney World this weekend
This weekend is Memorial Day weekend, which is pretty much the official start of summer. You know what that means, right? EVERYONE has plans to visit Disney World (well, maybe not EVERYONE, but a lot of folks). So we can safely expect that there will be big crowds at Disney World throughout the weekend.
Disney World is a pretty magical place.

And while there are countless guides and tips on how you can maximize your time there, sometimes it’s just as important to break the “rules” and let yourself enjoy Disney World in your own way. So, let’s go over five Disney World “rules” that we can’t help but break (and why that’s perfectly okay).
You’ve been HOODWINKED by Disney World!

Sure, you may THINK you know everything going down across the parks… but you don’t even know the HALF of it.
Not all “discounts” are created equal.

It likely goes without saying, but a Walt Disney World vacation is not cheap, so it only makes sense that it’s tempting to jump on any possible “discount.” However, we’d advise you to look deeply into these discounts before committing, as some of them are only beneficial in certain circumstances.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
