There are so many fun things to do in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Tree of Life at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
From seeing exotic animals on a safari vehicle to taking a ride on a Banshee in Pandora to enjoying all the fun details in Dinoland, U.S.A. to viewing a Broadway-quality show based on The Lion King, you’ll never run out of things to do here. We’ve been to Animal Kingdom recently to check out everything NEW that’s happening, so let’s get on with some updates!
When it comes time to buy a gift for a friend or family member, it can be hard to know what to get. Would they rather have a new pair of Minnie ears, or a spirit jersey? It can be hard to decide! That’s why you can never go wrong with a gift card.
Mickey Gift Card
Disney gift cards can be used on Disney merchandise, towards the cost of your ticket, and even to pay for food in the parks! Disney gift cards can be purchased both in the parks and online, and Disney just released a bunch of new designs on shopDisney!
Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Bill (what critics have deemed the “Don’t Say Gay” Bill) has been extensively covered by the news over the past several weeks. It’s likely something you’ve heard discussed on your local news station, or seen discussed online and a variety of news sites.
Welcome to Disney World
Here at DFB we’ve been sharing updates with you regarding this Bill (now law) as it relates to Disney, specifically with respect to Disney’s responses to the Bill, criticisms of Disney’s responses, and what former Disney executives, current Disney employees, and more have had to say on the topic. Most recently, Disney spoke out against the passage of the Bill and Florida’s Governor issued a response. We’ve already seen how Disney’s actions have impacted employees, Governors, and more, but now Disney’s actions and responses in relation to this Bill could have other big consequences.
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary was a BIG deal — 50 is a pretty big milestone, after all! The big birthday brought lots of special treats, a new attraction, and TONS of new merchandise to the parks. But this isn’t any old anniversary; the 50th Anniversary celebration runs for 18 MONTHS! So far, we’ve continued to see new 50th Anniversary merch and snacks pop up around the parks and resorts even in 2022, and Disney doesn’t show any signs of stopping.
The 50th Anniversary brought some BIG changes to Disney World!
Disney just shared a preview of MORE new merchandise collections coming to Disney World; you might want to start saving up now!

Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Bill (what critics call the “Don’t Say Gay” Bill) is a topic that has been discussed a great deal over the past several weeks.
Spaceship Earth
From Disney’s initial statement to CEO Bob Chapek’s comments on the Company’s formal stance on the Bill, and everything in between, we’ve been sharing all kinds of updates on the topic with you. Now, a former Disney Executive has weighed in on why he spoke out about the issue and why (and when) others should comment on major issues.
Let’s face it: Disney World rides break down. And really, with ALL the technology involved in Disney attractions, what else could we expect?
FN-2187, why aren’t you at your post?
Some rides break down more than others (yes, we are ABSOLUTELY looking at you, Rise of the Resistance), and some rides are more…well…ANNOYING to be stuck on than others (AHEM, “it’s a small world”). So we decided to take this question to our readers: Which Disney World ride would you actually ENJOY getting stuck on? Let’s see what more than 750 of you said!
Get ready for some NEW MINNIE EARS, people!!
Look at all of those ears!
That’s right, Disney just can’t slow down when it comes to making new ears — we have seen SO many pairs lately! There have been themed to EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival, Alice in Wonderland, Mickey pretzels, Pixar’s Turning Red, and more. And today, we found ANOTHER pair of brand new ears in Disney World, and they’re honoring a special princess that lives under the sea!
Disney’s Genie+ replaced FastPass+ in Disney World as the system to help guests skip the lines at some attractions, and it’s been a controversial transition. The newer service costs money (compared to the previously free FastPass+), and it can be tricky to use sometimes.
Genie+ is how you can skip the lines!
We’ve experimented a LOT with the new system since we’re in Disney World every day. We have all kinds of resources to help you make the most of Genie+ if you choose to buy it when you’re in the parks. But Disney’s recent update about Genie+ has us a little confused…. [Read more…]
