food IS a theme park
Disney California Adventure might be Disneyland’s younger sibling, but that doesn’t mean its rides, restaurants, and experiences pale in comparison. In fact, there are parts about DCA you may like even BETTER than what you’ll find next door.
Disney California Adventure
So… are you ready to learn EVERYTHING you can about this Cali-centric park? Because that’s EXACTLY what we’re doing TODAY, here on DFB Guide.

Are you gearing up for a 2024 Disney World trip? Watch out for some huge CHANGES affecting the parks and hotels this year!
Magic Kingdom
The Disney Dining Plan is back, Park Hopping has changed, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Let’s dig into all the BIG CHANGES taking place at Disney World in 2024. [Read more…]
Ok, we think we’ve found a solid choice for a lounge or pool bar when choosing your next Disney hotel stay WITHOUT costing you a fortune!
The whole band is back together!
We’ve visited several lounge and pool bars around Disney World lately with some being clear winners with returning fan-favorite menu items but most of the time these have been at some of the most expensive Disney World hotels. So where do you choose to stay (and eat) if you’re looking to stick to a budget and are traveling with kids that really would prefer more pool time over spending hours in the Disney World parks? We think we’ve found a great compromise for you! [Read more…]
Disney World fans know that special events in the parks often mean special appearances by rare characters!
Phineas and Ferb at Jollywood Nights
We met Phineas and Ferb and Powerline Max at Jollywood Nights this year, and got a rare chance to see Ariel with Prince Eric and Aurora with Prince Phillip at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. But today, Disney shocked us by bringing out a rare character for the holiday — no special event ticket required!
When I think of fancy shmancy experiences at Disney World, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa comes to mind before anything else.
Grand Floridian Resort
Not only is this widely considered to be THE deluxe of the deluxe resorts at Disney World, but it boasts the highly-acclaimed Victoria and Albert’s Restaurant, the Mary Poppins-themed Citrico’s, and enough Victorian theming throughout the hotel to truly transport you back to a magical time. One fan-favorite restaurant here that recently returned after a lengthy refurbishment is Narcoossee’s!Â
We go to Disney World every single day.
Cinderella Castle
Yes, really! Every day we spend in the parks, we learn something new. You see, Disney is a mastermind (cue the T. Swift song) when it comes to innovation and keeping things feeling brand new. So, the rules change, the parks themselves change, and even WE change — whether that be our situations OR our bodies that can’t handle staying out from rope drop to park close anymore. We learned a few hard lessons at Disney World in 2023, and we’re here to share those with you for your own planning purposes.
Hold on — you’re telling ME that I can fly the Millennium Falcon, walk the same streets Walt Disney walked, and eat my fill of beignets… ALL in the same park?
Sleeping Beauty Castle
Yeah. There’s a REASON why Disneyland continues to be so popular amongst locals and tourists alike. And if you wanna SUCCEED inside this park next year, then you’re gonna need a gameplan — STAT. (Good thing you’ve got the DFB team here to lend a helping hand!)
We always warn our readers about the intense crowds that flock to Disney World throughout the holiday season.
Magic Kingdom during the holidays
With all the beautiful decor, tasty treats, and celebrations — it’s hard not to join in! The holiday season is the most magical time of the year for many, and so a lot of folks find it worth it to brave those crowds for some magical holiday cheer with the Mouse. Yes, including us. Well, it’s Christmas Day, which is like, THE busiest of busy days at Disney World. And where are we headed? Magic Kingdom. Come with us to check out the CROWDS.
January is right around the corner, and that means lots of changes are about to happen in Disney World.
EPCOT
Park hopping is going back to normal, the Disney Dining Plan is returning, and there’s so much in store for 2024 as a whole. If you’re visiting the parks in January, you need to know that one ride will be closed for a whole day during the month!
Merry Christmas from all of us at Disney Food Blog!
It’s SANTA!
We’re in Disney World, today, for Christmas Day and it appears so are MANY of you! It’s the most magical time of the year in the Most Magical Place on Earth. We wish you all good tidings on your festive trip. But, unfortunately, we came with some not so great news.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
