Hello there fellow snacker!
The Popcorn!!

Hello, DFB friends! We’re here with more of what’s new at Magic Kingdom.
Cinderella Castle
We’ve been seeing more and more 50th anniversary statues pop up, new Cinderella wreaths, and even a favorite treat return. Now we have another 50th anniversary item to share and more progress toward Disney launching the Genie+ program!
Ever wanted to ride Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance WITHOUT a Boarding Group?
Rise of the Resistance
We’ve seen Rise of the Resistance open to guests without a boarding group very rarely, but other than that boarding groups have generally been required. Soon, however, things will be changing. How will these upcoming changes potentially impact the situation with the NEW, paid FastPass-like systems Disney will be rolling out soon? Here are our thoughts.
If you haven’t yet visited Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs, you’re missing out!
Gideon’s Bakehouse
Gideon’s Bakehouse, located in The Landing of Disney Springs, is known to Orlando locals and tourists alike for their nearly half pound cookies, cakes, and more, and today they posted on Instagram about an extremely limited treat they have for TODAY ONLY! So if you’re in the neighborhood and in the mood for some chocolate, you’ll want to see this.

It may only be September, but we’ve been celebrating Halloween for a while now!
Cinderella Pumpkins
We’ve already been to Disney World’s new After Hours BOO Bash event, checked out some spooktacular Halloween popcorn buckets, and even taken a look at the Halloween merchandise. But, another Halloween item has now arrived for you to snag!
With Disney World’s 50th anniversary only weeks away, we’re seeing more 50th decor and merchandise in the parks!
Cinderella Castle
Today we’ve spotted more 50th anniversary character statues around Disney World. And at Magic Kingdom, we discovered a new (and sparkly!) 50th anniversary souvenir, one that can surely make you feel like a Disney Princess!
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is one of the most popular rides in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Rise of the Resistance
But, if you want to get on this popular attraction right now, you’ll have to try and score a Boarding Group, which can be one of the most difficult things to do in Disney World. We’ve seen boarding group times change, and parts of the process be updated, but now Disney has made a HUGE announcement about the future of Boarding Groups at this ride.
Halloween is for all things spooky, creepy, and scary!
The Haunted Mansion
And the Disney Villains fit those descriptions very well (just look at the Evil Queen as a witch…the stuff of nightmares!). We know the villains are bad, but they are so fun to watch! We love when Disney themes things after the villains, from spirit jerseys to food to Mickey ears. And now, we’ve spotted a special treat for Halloween that showcases the villains perfectly!
