food IS a theme park
A construction project at Disney World was expected to be finished today, but it is lasting longer than expected.
Pop Century Resort
The food court at Disney’s Pop Century Resort may not be reopening as originally anticipated, find out when refurbishment is expected to be finished now!
Listen, Disney Adults (including me) know what we want when we go to Disney World.
Animal Kingdom
That’s true just about anything. For example, we know the best spot for our favorite Disney World noms, where we’re going to lay our heads down at night, and what ride we want to get on and when we want to get on it. Speaking of rides, there’s this one ride at Animal Kingdom, Kilimanjaro Safaris, and you won’t catch us in any other row than this one and we’ll keep asking for it. Let’s talk about it!
Pack up the car, grab your flight boarding passes, and pick up your theme park maps.

WE’RE about to drop the BEST Disney World travel tips before you go! (did you know there are SECRET STAIRS?!?!)
Lightning Lane Multi Pass is about to have a price increase at Disney World!
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway Lightning Lane
This paid skip-the-line service debuted on July 24th, 2024, replacing Genie+ to allow guests access to Lightning Lanes. The service is about to experience a price hike, and we want to make sure you know about it!
When you’re in Disney World, it feels like a magical place. Or better yet, the world just kinda’ goes away and you’re just somewhere else.
Welcome to Disney World!
Disney adults just get that, and it’s why we make repeat visits to Disney World, Disneyland, and Disney parks all over the world. It’s why we buy all the Disney merchandise we can get our hands on and obsess over Loungefly bags. But sometimes, things aren’t magical and they can get downright awkward (and we’re not even talking about getting in and out of Space Mountain’s ride vehicles). We asked you, our DFB readers, about your most awkward moments in Disney World, and BOY, did you deliver the stories!
The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival is still going strong and will be hanging around until November 23rd.
EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
We spent the first weekend of the festival trying out a TON of new eats, as well as returning favorites, just to get you reviews of EVERYTHING. We also got to visit a NEW food booth this year, the Macatizers booth, which is — as you may have guessed — all about the Mac and Cheese. Well, Disney just released the recipe for one of our favorite snacks from that booth, and let’s just say we know what we’re having for dinner tonight!
Happy Halloween, DFB friends!
This is one of our favorite times of year to be in Disney World. The spooky — and ADORABLE — Halloween decorations are up in Magic Kingdom. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is underway (but completely sold out for the year). Spooky season is the BEST. But the BEST part of spooky season isn’t the decor and parties…oh, no, the best part is THE SNACKS (you knew we’d say that, didn’t you?). Now, even the crêpes in EPCOT are jumping on the Halloween train.
Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!
Magic Kingdom
Disney World’s stabilized this week after shooting up last week… with ONE major exception. TRON Lightcycle / Run continues to dominate the resort’s wait times since the standby line was introduced to the attraction. This week, the ride’s wait time was over 80 minutes, cleaning the rest of the resort’s rides by over 10 minutes.
Extra, extra, read all about it! Seriously, we’re sure Disney World hasn’t had a wink of sleep because it has dropped so many new updates this week. If you’ve missed out, this is your chance to catch up!
Cinderella Castle
I’m back again with another round of WHAT’S NEW UPDATES AT DISNEY WORLD, a rundown on all the epic news and updates that happened at Disney World this past week. This week, we got the 4-1-1 on a fan-favorite character coming to EPCOT, a Disney Springs store finally reopening after a month-long closure, and a popular special ticketed event getting completely sold out! Are y’all ready? Okay, let’s go!
Not EVERY day in Disney World can be perfect, and that’s fine.
Adventureland
Sometimes, the weather just won’t behave. It can be too hot, too cold (YES, it happens), or it could be rainy (especially during hurricane season). Sometimes, rides close due to weather. Sometimes, rides just close for other reasons. Sometimes, you’re ON a ride when it closes, and you have to be evacuated from that ride. Well, that happened to us recently on two different rides ON THE SAME DAY.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
