food IS a theme park
Alright, EPCOT fans, we’ve got some FUN news you need to hear! Grab a pencil — it’s time to take some NOTES.
2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
The Food & Wine Festival is in full swing and will be taking place from now through November 23rd — we’ve already tried ALL the items from each booth to tell you what’s worth your money and what isn’t. But we just got some exciting news! A NEW snack is coming to the park for a limited time, and we know we’ll be first in line to grab it.
Mornings can be tough. If you’re the kind of person who likes to be at the Disney World parks right at opening, you’ll generally have to wake up pretty early to get there by rope drop.
Magic Kingdom
If you’re at the park early, you can get a jump on the rides that usually have long lines. Unfortunately, mornings aren’t just hard for those of us who want to get there early; they can also be tough for the rides that you’re expecting to go on! It’s no fun getting to the park early and the rides you’re excited for aren’t up and running yet. But that’s what happened on the morning of September 7th in Magic Kingdom.
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!

The 2024 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is here and we couldn’t be happier!
2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
This year, we’ve been gushing over all you can do like the food booths you can visit, the merch you can pick up, and the concerts you are able to watch, but on top of that there’s this one secret that if you didn’t already know about, well, we’re here to tell you all about it!
If you haven’t been to Disney World in a few years, there are quite a few new rides to check out.
TRON Lightcycle / Run
From Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT (which opened in 2022) to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and TRON Lightcycle / Run in Magic Kingdom (opened in 2024 and 2023, respectively), there are a couple of attractions you’ll want to add to your must-ride list. But if you’re hoping to check out TRON during your visit, we’ve got some important updates for you.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World is preparing to open a BRAND NEW THEMED LAND featuring those lovable monsters from MONSTERS, INC.!Â
Hollywood Studios
That’s right…the monsters are inviting YOU to Monstropolis, where they need human laughter to power the city and keep it running.
Aloha from Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Disney World Resorts can transport you to a whole new world, and the Polynesian Resort is the perfect example of this! Nestled on the shores of the Seven Seas Lagoon lies a tropical paradise within Disney World. This resort is one of the three resorts located on the Resort Monorail Line, making it an accessible resort to stop at on your way to or from the Magic Kingdom.
The EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival has officially started!
Food and Wine Festival
EPCOT was festival-less all summer, so we were super excited to have one of our favorite festivals back! We have been covering the Food and Wine Festival for 15 years, and we have learned a thing or two during that time. Each year, we try so many different dishes that you would think we lose track of our favorites, but trust us, we dream about some of the dishes we try at the Food and Wine Festival.Â
Magic Kingdom is home to many iconic attractions, but one of the most notable is Pirates of the Caribbean.
Pirates of the Caribbean in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom
Located in Adventureland, this ride was originally built and themed after regular pirates and their adventures, and the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise we all know (and some of us love) was actually inspired BY the ride! Like any popular ride, it has its issues every now and then with breaking down, but there is ONE rule many Cast Members who have worked on this ride are begging you not to break.
Have you used Disney World’s NEW Lightning Lane system yet?
Lightning Lane
Back in July 2024, Disney World changed up its Lightning Lane offerings, ditching the old ways of Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes and swapping over to Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass instead. The system has made some major changes to how and when you book your Lightning Lanes, but one of the biggest benefits is that you can now check prices for Lightning Lane Multi Pass in advance!
