Here at DFB, we talk a lot about flying to Disney World — new flight options, airport changes, and anything else you need to know if you’re traveling through MCO. But what about those guests who choose to drive instead?
Magic Kingdom
There’s a whole slew of information that you’ll need if you’re bringing a car to Disney World, including parking fees, directions to the parks, and much more. But one BIG update you need to know is all about those pesky gas prices!
Disney just released new online merchandise, and we can’t wait to get a whiff!
Honey is the sweetest scent!
For years, we have waited for Disney to release their own line of scented candles. And while they haven’t released their own Flight of Passage candle yet, they have officially started rolling out their own line of Disney-themed candles.

It might only be May, but EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival is coming up sooner than you think!
Food and Wine 2021

We already know about some of the returning food booths, and we know that the Eat to the Beat concert series and Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeek will be coming back. While July might seem far away right now, Disney will be getting ready sooner than you think, and one of those preparations includes closing an attraction!
EPCOT will soon have a BRAND NEW ride for guests to enjoy. But if you’re hoping to go for opening day, there might be a problem.

The RCID is a special district that has allowed Disney World to essentially act as its own county and have a great deal of control over the land on which it operates in Orlando.
