food IS a theme park
We’re all prone to believing a thing or two about Disney World that isn’t exactly true, right?
Spaceship Earth
We’re talking about tall tales like there being a dome over Disney World to prevent bad weather, that Tinker Bell has to fly every night in Magic Kingdom or else you get free admission, or even that Walt Disney himself is cryogenically frozen. These kinds of “lies” persist and we figured we’d break down some of the lies about EPCOT that you thought were true! Let’s dive right in!
If you thought Disney was the ONLY theme park riddled with awesome new experiences and super-secret hidden gems, then you thought WRONG!
Universal Studios Orlando
Join us today as we explore all the AMAZING things you never knew were in Universal Orlando (which — spoiler alert — are a LOT), here on DFB Guide!
Over the years, we’ve seen some Disney souvenirs become ridiculously popular.
Magic Kingdom
A few years ago, people would line up in stores to purchase Starbucks tumblers, and we often see limited-edition holiday season or new attraction merchandise fly off the shelves. But there’s one Disney souvenir that has developed its own fan group and culture — the tiki mug!
What’s the best part about being a Disney World Annual Passholder? That’s easy — the PERKS.
Annual Pass
Not only does it allow you into the parks most days (or every day depending on your pass) of the year, but Disney is constantly tossing out freebies, exclusive discounts, special merchandise, lounges, and more. Now, if you’ve got an Annual Pass, we’ve got a big update for you: NEW exclusives are coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom soon!
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event is coming up SOON. The event is already sold out and will feature appearances and talks from Disney execs, celebrities, Imagineers, and more.
D23 is coming SOON
But the reason people pay thousands of dollars to go to this event is because Disney often drops huge announcements about the parks, movies, and more. We’ll be covering the event so you don’t miss a thing, but one lucky group of folks will get access to an exclusive perk at the event!Â
We don’t know about you, but these record-breaking temperatures are making us want to stay inside some cold air-conditioning and stream our favorite movies and shows.

And what better place to look than Disney+?! Ever since the merger with Hulu, we’ve had a ton of content at our fingertips — and we still can’t get enough! Lucky for us, Disney just announced the lineup of everything new coming to Disney+ this August, so let’s get into it.
Are you ready for a brand-new theme park experience? While we’re big fans of the Disney and Universal theme parks all around the world, one major player in the theme park industry has successfully expanded with even more on the horizon.

Disney made waves this summer with its latest theme park expansion, Universal gave us details on its Kids Resort in Texas, and Bluey’s World is set to open later this year in Australia — but one other theme park juggernaut is about to continue expansion in the Lone Star State and we’ve got all the details!
Disney World might be just as busy as it was before the pandemic-related closures, but we’re still seeing the remnants of those health and safety measures to this day.
Cinderella Castle
Services like the Magical Express are gone for good, and who knows if we’ll ever see package delivery return to the hotels or not. While most of the parks have returned to normal, there are a few experiences that have yet to return. Up until recently, we weren’t sure we would ever get to experience this rare character meet and greet again, but we may have just been proven wrong!
Getting to Orlando is about to get easier for some.
An Allegiant aircraft
Due to its many tourist attractions, Orlando is one of the busiest travel cities in the world. Now budget carrier Allegiant Airlines is preparing to add another new route to the area, though maybe not to the airport you’re expecting.
Disney Springs is one of our favorite places to stop for a treat — whether it might be sweet or savory.
Sprinkles
But, when we’re in the mood for a sweet, decadent cupcake, there’s only one place to go: Sprinkles! This well-known bakery serves up gourmet cupcakes (sometimes from an ATM!) and features rotating monthly flavors. But, we’ve got some excellent news for folks who don’t live anywhere near Sprinkles Cupcakes…
