food IS a theme park
The past few years at Disney World have been…different, to say the least.
Our favorite noodles
We’ve seen some of the same supply shortages at Disney World that much of the rest of the U.S. is experiencing. First, there was an issue with ketchup. Then there was a shortage of POG juice. And most recently, there was a noodles shortage — yes, THERE WAS A NOODLES SHORTAGE AT DISNEY WORLD.
Welcome back DFB friends — it’s that time of the week where we take a look at all the construction progress that has been made around Disney World!
Christmas has arrived in Disney World!
Last week we took a look at how two upcoming roller coasters are coming along in Disney World (and more, of course), and today we’ve got a peek at even more construction going on at some fan-favorite rides, restaurants, and resorts! So, let’s take a look, shall we?
Disney World may be the most magical place on Earth, but sometimes, things still don’t go according to plan.
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
We’ve seen rides evacuated, animatronics fail, attractions shut down due to bad weather, and more. And today, one Disney World bar has closed due to a leak.
Ah, EPCOT. Home of the giant glowing ball (aka Spaceship Earth), delicious food booths, the Soarin’ attraction…and weekend crowds.
Now THAT’s an entrance!
Now that the holiday season is here (!!!) and travel restrictions are being lifted around the world, Disney World has been seeing longer lines and higher wait times. On our way into EPCOT today, we definitely felt the impacts of these changes. Take a look at the crowd level on this sunny Sunday!
The 50th Anniversary Celebration has kicked off in Disney World.
Steakhouse 71
And with that came loads of new merchandise, decorations, snacks, and even new restaurants opening at the resort. But which new Disney World Restaurants are worth your time and effort?
EPCOT’s Japan pavilion is home to some stunning sights, entertaining dining experiences, and some interesting merchandise (looking at you, babyface skincare face mask). The World Showcase has SO many details crammed into every corner of each pavilion we could spend an entire week breaking down all the hidden items!
Hello from Japan (pavilion)!
As we were browsing the Mitsukoshi Department Store in the Japan pavilion, we noticed an adorable little Disney detail we had to share!
Calling all Pirates of the Caribbean fans!
Arg!
In honor of the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World, a TON of new merch has been released from ornaments to Minnie ears, and all kinds of things in between! And we just spotted another 50th anniversary souvenir that’s the ultimate gift for fans of the classic attraction, Pirates of the Caribbean.
Have YOU used Disney Genie yet? The planning service, which you can find on the Disney World app, features a paid FastPass+ replacement option (now known as Lightning Lanes) and more!
A Disney Genie Pamphlet
Today, we’re taking a look at Genie+, Individual Attraction Selection, and what Lightning Lanes you should try to get first! Here are some things to keep in mind when planning with Genie+.
Did you know that you can ride around in the same vehicles as some of your favorite Disney characters? With Disney’s Main Street vehicles, YOU can ride down Main Street in style, just like Mickey and the gang during a character cavalcade!
Twice the floors=twice the FUN!
The Main Street vehicles have been unavailable for guests since the start of the pandemic, but it looks like things are changing! A fan-favorite limited-time attraction is BACK in Disney World!
Christmas is in the air…literally! Now that the holiday decorations are up across the Disney parks and resorts, the stage is set for the most wonderful time of the year!
Food + Disney World + Holiday Season = Pure Happiness
We love the sights, tastes, and sounds of the holidays season, but what about the SMELLS? Luckily, Disney’s got us covered with a delicious hot cocoa-scented item calling our name!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
