food IS a theme park
Using Genie+ just got a little easier!
Kali River Rapids Lightning Lane
Disney has announced a number of updates to this paid service over the past few months. Its payment tiers are now different, and some big Genie+ changes are being planned for 2024. But now, one more feature has been altered.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is a park full of thrill rides, entertaining shows, and tasty snacks.
Hollywood Studios
Today, we’re talking about the food. There are so many great snacks in Hollywood Studios. We’ve even got some snack hacks that you can do to create your very own UNIQUE treats there. But there is one snack location that we keep coming back to.
And just like that, we’re almost to September!
It’s fall!
September can be a very popular time to visit Disney World, as many are seeking lower crowds after schools are back in session as well as a respite from the heat that summer at Disney World brings. While a September Disney World vacation is definitely magical no matter which way ya play it, there are a few things to consider so that your September vacation isn’t dampened. Have no fear, DFB is here!
Since the reopening of Trail’s End Restaurant, it’s had us thinking… a lot.
NEW EATS at Trail’s End!
We know there are so many places to get good food around Disney World and that you really want to make sure you’re getting the best value for your money (and a full belly). So how did a standard Disney World side item here compare to other places we’ve seen it? [Read more…]
Temporary ride and attraction closures at Disney World are totally normal, and happen more often than you might think!
Haunted Mansion Temporary Closure
And no, they don’t mean that the rides are breaking down. Usually, these planned closures are for routine upkeep and maintenance so that the rides can run like new for years to come! Last week, we found out that a closure would take place in Magic Kingdom so that a fan-favorite attraction can be refurbished. Now, that ride is officially closed!
Disney World is known for being pretty magical, but if you ask us, some of the most magical places are found in the hotels.
Riviera Resort
It makes sense that Disney would make a point to put some seriously cozy places in peoples’ homes-away-from-home, and if you’re looking for somewhere to take a break or just find a new hangout spot — you’re gonna want to write these hidden Disney World hotel spots down.
STOP being caught off guard by Disney World’s BIGGEST changes…as well as its biggest problems.
EPCOT construction
When you’re on vacation, the last thing you need is one more thing to worry about. We’re here to help prepare you for the unexpected in Disney World, here on DFB Guide.
There are a LOT of good Disney World tips out there that are common knowledge by this point — like how you need to stay hydrated, wear comfy shoes, and get plenty of rest each night before jumpstarting another day.
Magic Kingdom
ALL great tips, absolutely. But then there are the underground tips… the ones that are either brand-spanking new, OR the ones not even DISNEY really wants you to know about.
It’s been a VERY exciting week in Disney World when it comes to food.
Sushi
A brand new restaurant surprised us and opened early in EPCOT (and we ate a $300 sushi boat with ZERO regrets). The way you book dining on the Disney World website and My Disney Experience app has changed (and we think, it’s for the better). More EPCOT Food and Wine food booths opened, too! PLUS we saw some updates on Disney World restaurant menus, so let’s talk about those.
Okay, we are about to take you to the SKETCHIEST neighborhood in all of Disney World.
Germany’s Train Village
Seriously, this is a place that is notoriously strange, where its denizens get up to who-knows-what kind of shenanigans. No, this isn’t the Wild West of Frontierland in Magic Kingdom. Nope, we’re taking you to the shadiest little town in Disney World, which just happens to be in EPCOT. Yep, we’re going back to Train Town.
