food IS a theme park
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!
Cinderella Castle
Last week we took a look at SEVEN different projects that could be close to wrapping up soon, and today we’ve got a peek at even more construction going on at Disney’s upcoming attractions, shows, and more! So, let’s take a look, shall we?
Since the arrival of Disney+, we have received a lot of behind-the-scenes content. We have been spoiled with shows like The Imagineering Story, Behind the Attraction, and Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

One behind-the-scenes peek we always LOVE getting are the new additions to the animal families at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! And we have a new one for you today! [Read more…]
Hello from the West Coast!!!
It’s Tink!
We’ve been hanging around Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, Downtown Disney, and the rest of the Disneyland Resort to see what’s been happening and what’s new. So let’s get on to some updates!
Although we saw a lot of crowds at Disney World throughout the summer, once August rolled around (and kids started going back to school), we’ve seen significantly lower crowds and wait times in the parks.
It’s quiet at Disney World today
This week, crowds have been so low that it’s even been easier to grab a boarding pass for Rise of the Resistance at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (WELL after the time they first become available). But what are crowds like now on weekends? Well, we were at the parks today to find out!
Welcome back to Walt Disney World!
Splash Mountain
Last week, we noticed wait times were down significantly compared to earlier in August, so let’s see if the trend is continuing! Here’s a look at all the average wait times in Disney World from this week!
It seems like every week we have another restaurant reopening at Disney World!
Japan Pavilion
Recently we have been able to enjoy the reopening of restaurants such as Boma and Victoria Falls Lounge, as well as the return of breakfast to Cinderella’s Royal Table. But today, we spent some time over in EPCOT for another restaurant reopening! [Read more…]
If you’re headed to Disney World this fall, you’ll need to know some important things!
Make sure you know Disney World’s park hours!
First, don’t forget to make your park pass reservations and familiarize yourself with the My Disney Experience app. Second, make sure you know the park hours — and we’ve got you covered for trips up through early November!
We’re heading into the final weeks of summer (even though Halloween is already in full force at Disney World!), and while we must say goodbye to the month of August, we’ll use our fond farewell as an opportunity to look back on all of our favorite (and…not so favorite) things we ate in the parks and resorts!
Spooooooky castle!
That’s right, we’re back with another monthly roundup of the best and worst things we had in Disney World for the month of August. This month brought us fall-themed treats and a TON of new Food and Wine booths, so there was no shortage of food and drink items to try!
Things are constantly changing in Disney World. Things are also constantly changing in the world outside of the Most Magical Place on Earth, which can impact rules and regulations in the parks.
Walt Disney World is Getting Ready for Its 50th Anniversary!
Not too long ago, Disney World updated its mask rules, Orange County, Florida (where part of Disney World is located) ended its state of emergency, and other changes have been made. All of that got us wondering whether some of you out there, our fabulous DFB readers, have decided to change your 2021/2022 Disney World plans, or if you’re still going forward with your trip. So, we reached out to you all, and here’s what thousands of you said.
When it comes to hotels, Disney World offers something for everyone — and there are SO many great hotels to choose from at a variety of price points. And then you’ve got even more hotels on Disney World property that aren’t owned by Disney, like the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin.
Swan Reserve
One of the newest hotels to arrive at Disney World is the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve. This hotel is located next to the Swan and Dolphin, putting it super close to EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Reservations initially opened up for the hotel in February, with an opening date of July 2021.
