food IS a theme park
We talk about Disney World dining reservations a LOT here at DFB.
Sanaa
There are quite literally hundreds of restaurants in Disney World and dozens of places to make reservations. With all those options, it can feel mandatory that you try some out during your trip. But dining reservations and table service meals aren’t for everyone — we’re here to tell you why making dining reservations for your trip might be a bad idea!
The EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival is one that just keeps the new eats coming!
Let’s try the new menu!
The Farmer’s Feast Booth is one of our favorites because it features a rotating seasonal menu which means we get to keep coming back for more. We checked out the Early Bloom Menu, followed by the Springtime Menu, and now we’re bringing you our review of the Summer Solstice Menu!
Rope dropping the Disney World parks is a fine art.
Crowds at rope drop in Hollywood Studios
It takes precision, planning, and cunning to make the most of the first few hours of the day in Disney World. You need to know exactly where you want to go before you even hit the ground, lest you waste any of that valuable pre-crowd time. And we’re here to WARN you about a common mistake when rope dropping EPCOT!
Get ready — because we’re about to hit you with one of our BIGGEST, most INFORMATIVE videos YET!
Cinderella Castle
We’ve gathered up all our BEST Disney World tips and tricks that are either BRAND NEW and epically important or that have stood the test of time so YOU can use them during your next visit, too!
Summer in Disney World this year is going to be a LOT different than previous summers.
Cinderella Castle
You see, this summer, a lot of NEW things are coming to Disney World, and we think we could see some serious summer crowds!
Disney World’s free transportation system really can’t be beat. It’s FREE, for starters, but it’s also efficient and convenient.
Disney Springs
Between Disney World buses, the Monorail, the Skyliner, and boats, you can get to pretty much anywhere you need to go on Disney World property. But sometimes closures can happen that can affect how you get from point A to point B. For example in bad weather, the Skyliner closes. Other circumstances also affect transportation, and we’ve got a closure to warn you about.
Disney World hotels have a lot going on right now…and by a lot…we mean a LOT of construction.
Disney’s Yacht Club
This is especially true with Disney World’s deluxe hotels. Many of them are under construction in some way. Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is getting a brand new Disney Vacation Club Villas building. The Grand Floridian Resort & Spa has been under construction for what feels like FOREVER. There’s a ton of construction at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn to bring TWO new dining spots to the area. And, well, another Disney World hotel will be undergoing construction in 2025.
What souvenirs do you like to bring home from Disney World?
What souvenirs do you like to get in Disney World?
We know a LOT of you are all about the pins (and pin trading). We know some of us like to bring home new ornaments for our Christmas tree. Of course, ears are ALWAYS a good souvenir to grab, as are popcorn buckets and sippers. However, there’s one super UNIQUE souvenir in Disney World that we are obsessed with, and it’s BACK!
We are officially almost halfway to Halloween and couldn’t be more excited!
Magic Kingdom during the Halloween season
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will be here before we know it, and while we’re still waiting to hear most of the details surrounding the party this year, we do know that some popular offerings will be returning. And now Disney has confirmed (in a roundabout way) that even MORE of our favorite offerings will be coming back!
As much as we love staying on Disney property, the experience isn’t perfect!
Polynesian
Since Disney opened up their first true hotels with Walt Disney World’s Contemporary and Polynesian Village in 1971 — The Disneyland Hotel does technically predate them, but has a twisting backstory that involves not being owned by Disney until the mid-1980s — staying on Disney property has become an integral part of Disney vacation experience for millions at each of the company’s resorts around the world. However, just because these hotels allow guests to remain in the “Disney bubble” for the duration of their vacation, it doesn’t mean staying at them is all sunshine and rainbows. [Read more…]
