Disney World is the Most Magical Place on Earth, but sometimes some not-so-magical things happen.
Welcome to the Most Magical Place on Earth!
Sometimes, things go wrong during your vacation, but that is why Disney World has trained its Guest Relations Cast Members to help you out when something goes wrong. All of the parks have a dedicated area where you can speak to Cast Members about any issues, questions, or concerns. Guest Relations Cast Members really do want to help you, but sometimes they hear complaints that they just can’t control or hear over and over again. Of course, they would never tell you because they are too nice.
The holiday season has arrived at Disney World, and we are bringing you full coverage of the first night of this year’s Disney Jollywood Nights!
Jollywood Nights
The streets were decked out in festive decor, and our reporters got in the holiday spirit. We tried out everything that Jollywood Nights has to offer to help you decide if the event is worth the price tag.
Happy Holidays from DFB. The holiday season is officially in FULL swing at Disney World now that the holiday decorations are up, the hotel gingerbread displays are ready, and the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom has happened.

We’ve been busy checking out all the holiday snacks around Disney World, too. BUT we’re doing our weekly thing where we take a look at Disney World restaurant menus to see what’s changed — and we’ve got some updates to share with you this week.
It’s been about 2.5 years since the release of MagicBand+ in Disney World (we know, it feels like it hasn’t been that long, right?), and it’s been accepted pretty well.
MagicBand+
MagicBands aren’t required for your vacation in the slightest, and neither is a MagicBand+, but they can make things easier and add a little extra magic. The difference between MagicBand and MagicBand+ is that while both will hold your information and allow you to make purchases, tap into Lightning Lanes, and unlock your hotel room, MagicBand+ needs to be charged regularly so it can interact with the golden statues and other aspects of the Disney World parks. However, Disney recently added some new features to MagicBand+ bands that you won’t want to miss out on!
The holiday season is officially in full swing in Disney World. The decorations are up. The giant Christmas trees are here. We’ve been to both Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party AND Jollywood Nights.
Disney’s Beach Club Resort
It’s such a great time to visit Disney World. One of our favorite things about the holidays in Disney World, though, is seeing all the amazing gingerbread displays at the hotels. We’ve already seen the gingerbread house at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, as well as the gingerbread castle Disney’s Contemporary Resort, but now the display at Disney’s Beach Club Resort is up. So come with us as we check it out!
Deciding where to eat in EPCOT can be daunting!
Spaceship Earth
There are SO many quick service and table service restaurants to choose from, not to mention the food booths that are spread throughout the park for most of the year. But here at DFB, we’ve been to all the restaurants, and we like to revisit them frequently to see if they’re worth recommending for your vacation. That’s why I’m taking you along with me to dine in the Mexico Pavilion!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is a very special after hours event that happens each year.
Snoap almost always makes us emotional
Between the snoap (that’s snow+soap) falling on Main Street, U.S.A., the holly jolly atmosphere, ride overlays, exciting entertainment, the iconic parade, and fireworks, there are a lot of moments that can make you emotional. While we were definitely feeling the emotions throughout the night, there was something we stumbled upon that genuinely made us burst into happy tears.
Bet you didn’t know the Mandalorian celebrates Jollywood Nights with Grogu in Batuu! That’s right. This Hollywood Studios holiday event had it ALL — festive characters, food, music, dancing, and even some fun surprises in Galaxy’s Edge.
The Mandalorian and Grogu
Speaking of surprises in Galaxy’s Edge, we’ve got a secret to share! For all the Jollywood Nights guests 21+ who are looking for a drink during the party, we’re here with a hot tip. Do NOT waste your time standing in a long line for drinks — go HERE instead!
When you’re planning out your stay at Walt Disney World, you really only have a couple of options when it comes to the hotels on the property.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Specifically you’ve got Value, Moderate, and Deluxe resort hotels. But when you look at all of the new options, it starts to seem that you’ve really only got one — Deluxe hotels. Now, that got us thinking about this trend of no new Moderate or Value resorts in Disney World, so we reached out to you to get your thoughts. Well, we asked and you delivered!
