food IS a theme park
Hidden among the trees of Disney World lies a resort so secluded that few people know it exists.Â
Treehouse Villas
Part of Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort, Disney’s Treehouse Villas are part of Disney Vacation Club and are hidden across from Saratoga Springs. While these villas are not actually in a tree, you are surrounded by trees and greenery in a three-bedroom elevated villa. There are 60 treehouses, making the Treehouse Villas feel like its own neighborhood.Â
How can you get TWO free Disney park tickets next year? What NEW rides are getting ready to come to the parks?
Disney World
And where can you find secret INDOOR SEATING for otherwise OUTDOORSY restaurants? We’ve got EVERYTHING you need to know BEFORE you go to Disney World RIGHT HERE for you, today on DFB Guide.
For the past year and a half, one of Disney World’s hottest rides has been TRON Lightcycle / Run.
TRON Lightcycle / Run
The coaster opened in April 2023 after several weeks’ worth of previews, and it began operating during the day with a virtual queue to manage crowds. While the ride has had a bit of controversy due to its restrictive seating style, the virtual queue has still been a hot commodity that fills up fairly quickly. But now, Disney has done away with it!
If you are heading to Disney World, you need to make sure you have the My Disney Experience app downloaded on your phone.Â

The My Disney Experience app is home to a wealth of information and features that are essential for your Disney World vacation!
UPDATE: As of 4:00AM CT/5:00AM EST on September 11th, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) Â has classified this system as HURRICANE FRANCINE.Â
September has begun and with it could bring some tropical weather.
Magic Kingdom during Hurricane Debby
September is the first month of fall, but it’s still part of hurricane season. The National Hurricane Center has been tracking a potential tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico, which continues to build. Luckily, Florida will be in the clear this time, but Texas and Louisiana will likely not be so lucky.
A new lounge is coming to Magic Kingdom in 2025 that will be themed to the classic Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. We are looking forward to stopping in after a long day at sea!
Cinderella Castle
The new Pirates of the Caribbean lounge will continue the story of Pirates of the Caribbean and provide a place for pirates of all ages to gather. However, there is one question that we don’t know the answer to yet: will this new lounge serve alcohol?Â
The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is currently happening RIGHT NOW in EPCOT and will run through November 23rd, 2024.
EPCOT Food and Wine Festival
We were at the festival on the VERY FIRST DAY, trying all the new foods and checking out all the food booths, as well as looking at new merchandise and checking out some entertainment like the Eat to the Beat concert series. Well, one food booth just added a NEW snack for a limited time for a special Chinese celebration. So, we obviously had to check it out so we could get you a review!
It’s spooky season aboard Disney Cruise Line!
Daisy, Minnie, and Clarabelle Cow as the Sanderson Sisters!
Every year Disney offers Halloween on the High Seas aboard select cruise ships. These festive cruises include fun experiences, character interactions, spooky treats, and seasonal merchandise. This year, Disney gave us a sneak peek at what’s coming to Halloween on the High Seas, and now we wish we were going to be on one of these cruises!
Okay, we’ll admit it, we LOVE POG juice. If you haven’t this wonderful concoction of passionfruit, orange, and guava fruit juices, you are missing out.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
For example, if you have breakfast in a few places in Disney World, you can get POG juice in nearly unlimited amounts. But you can also find POG-flavored treats throughout Disney World. We’ve had everything from POG cupcakes to POG gelato to a POG-flavored eclair. ALL the POG. So when we found out you could get POG Juice Macarons from Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, we hopped on the Monorail and headed on over!
Things are changing SO much in Disney World that it’s hard to keep up. We recently said goodbye to Genie+ (Disney’s skip-the-line service) and hello to Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass.
Even more changes are coming soon, too, with the addition of a Cars land and a villains land to Magic Kingdom, a Monsters, Inc. land and villains show in Hollywood Studios, and a land re-theme in Animal Kingdom. However, one big change is happening tomorrow on September 9th, and it’s happening to a popular ride in Magic Kingdom. So we wanted to remind you about this change so you’re not caught by surprise.
