food IS a theme park
Turns out, the monsters have been coming for a long time.

One of the biggest announcements at the recent D23 Ultimate Fan Event was the news that a massive Monsters, Inc.-themed land is coming to Hollywood Studios. However, along with the excitement over the land, there’s also been consternation about where the land will go. Turns out, some of the concept art gives us a hint as to just where it might go… and just how long Disney has been planning this expansion.
Summer is officially winding down (well, the concept of summer — it’s still warm in Florida), and fall is right around the corner.
Fall is HERE!
Of course, we’re already celebrating fall here at DFB — that comes with the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Magic Kingdom. We’ve also been diving into Halloween and fall treats in Disney World, so when we saw a new EXCLUSIVE Loungefly ALL ABOUT fall treats, our jaws dropped and we couldn’t grab our credit cards fast enough. So, obviously, we have to share this must-have fall bag with you.
MORE change has happened in Magic Kingdom at Disney World seemingly overnight!
Paw and hoof prints!
So many new and exciting things have been announced for Disney World in the near future and we can hardly wait! While some projects already have kicked off with a running start like transforming Tortuga Tavern into Tortuga Treasures, others like Disney’s highly anticipated Villains Land might be a while before we get more insight into their extensive details. But one thing’s for sure from this latest update when Disney World has set their mind to change, you could see results FAST!

Magic Kingdom has some BIG changes in store for it in the coming years!
Magic Kingdom
Magic Kingdom will be getting a new nighttime parade called “Disney Starlight” in 2025, and Disney has also announced that a Villains Land AND a Cars Land will be coming to Magic Kingdom. Disney fans have been very divided over the new Cars Land, especially the proposed location. But what will the impact of this Frontierland change really be?

The summer travel season may be winding down, but one of America’s biggest airlines is offering some massive travel deals this fall. These include flights to some of the largest cities around the country, including Orlando!
Should you SCRAP your 2024 Disney World plans in exchange for a 2025 trip instead?
Possibly. But before YOU decide by flipping a coin, let’s look at the real reasons why some folks are choosing to hold out on their Orlando vacations until the new year… and why others are still holding onto their current year plans no matter what!
It’s HERE! Universal is FINALLY ready to spill some tea with an update on one of its upcoming hotels!

There’s been a LOT of talk about Universal’s upcoming theme park, premiere Halloween event, and ongoing construction. While Universal had already confirmed several details about a few of the newest hotels to open just outside the gates of its newest theme park, we still had outstanding questions about it’s largest remaining hotel that will feature a first-of-its-kind in-park entrance for Universal Orlando.
We’ve got some FUN Disney World hotel news to share today! Have you heard? Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has been under construction for quite some time, and this hotel is getting a BIG addition. Later this year, the Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Villas and Bungalows will open, and Disney just gave us a sneak peek of what’s coming to this resort!

This new section of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is set to open on December 17th, 2024! It will be a Disney Vacation Club property, but anyone is invited to book a reservation here! The 10-story tower will feature rooms of different sizes for parties of all shapes and sizes. Just like The Polynesian Village Resort itself, this new tower will take inspiration from the Polynesian Islands. You may even spot some new artwork inspired by Moana!
