Headed to Disney World next week?
EPCOT
That’s so exciting! It’s a great time to go with the smaller crowds and cooler temperatures. Speaking of those temps though, you probably have packing on the mind. What do you wear in Florida winter anyway!? We’re here to help! Let’s take a look at the weather forecast for next week in Disney World!
Lately, the seasons have been all mixed up in Disney World.
Spirit Jerseys
We’re still seeing some holiday merchandise, and there’s even some lingering Halloween items on the shelves. To add to the confusion, Disney recently released a new spirit jersey online that’s giving us major summer vibes. And now this new jersey is available inside Disney World as well! So if you’re ready to embrace the warmer season, here’s where you can find this new item. [Read more…]
The 2022 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is almost here!
Festival of the Arts
In just a few short weeks, we’ll be able to enjoy some tasty treats, check out amazing Disney on Broadway performances, grab some awesome photos, and look at all kinds of amazing art throughout EPCOT. A big part of the festival is the culinary arts (a.k.a. the FOOD). We’ve already seen a full list of the booths that will be available at the festival, but now we’ve got the FULL menus!!

This ship features a lot of brand-new experiences, including the first-ever Disney attraction at sea, three new restaurants, immersive entertainment, and more. The exciting new additions have earned the ‘Wish’ a spot on the “Best New Cruise Ships for 2022” list, but it DIDN’T win first place. [Read more…]
2022 is already shaping up to be a memorable year at Disney World! With the 50th Anniversary Celebration continuing all year long, we’re excited to see what new offerings are on the horizon (including some new attractions, like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind).
EPCOT
For now, however, we’re heading into an exciting week for the week of January 9th: it’s the first week of the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts! Let’s dive in to see what the week will look like in terms of park hours and Park Pass Reservation availability.
One of the LEAST magical things about Disney World is how much your feet can hurt at the end of a long day in the parks. Each of the four parks is pretty big, so you’re likely to walk a long way, no matter where you’re visiting.
Expect a LOT of walking
Our reporters — who are in the parks every day — walk about 10 to 12 MILES every day. On busy days, and especially if they’re park hopping, they’ll walk up to 15 miles. 😱 Needless to say, you’re going to want some high-quality footwear for your Disney World vacation. But how do you know which shoes to choose? Here’s what the DFB readers said when we asked them which shoes they wear to the parks. [Read more…]
The new year is bringing some major changes to the Disney parks. From upcoming attractions to new technology, there’s always something new around the corner. 2022 marked the end of Disney’s Magical Express, the start of a new Star Wars story, and a whole new era of vacationing in Disney World. But some other changes are happening outside the Disney parks that we need to discuss!
Who’s the leader of the club?
January 1st was Public Domain Day, meaning that a slew of copyrights from 1926 expired and are now classified as public domain. Why does this matter? A few famous stories we know and love are now able to be published, modified, and performed by ANYONE without having to pay a licensing fee.
Live entertainment has had a tumultuous few years.

For instance, the new Cirque du Soleil show in Disney Springs, Drawn to Life, had a significantly delayed opening due to the global health crisis. Last year, it finally did open but now, it seems there has been a sudden cancellation of a performance.
