food IS a theme park
Disney World is looking a little extra spooky right now; the Halloween season is officially here! And that means the Haunted Mansion will be getting a little extra love from fans for the next few months!
It’s Haunted Mansion season!
We’re already starting to see new Haunted Mansion merchandise pop up in Disney World and online, and the ride even recently got its own Disney Collectible Key! And it’s getting its own Muppets special on Disney+, which we are SUPER excited to see!
Is it just us, or was August the longest month of the summer? SO MUCH happened!
Yak and Yeti Restaurant had some price increases!
We’ve been up to our ears in Disney news, including LOADS of details about the Star Wars hotel, an update on Disney Genie (and the retirement of the FastPass program), and hotel reopenings. And there have been a lot of menu changes at Disney World restaurants, too!
If there’s one new restaurant we are VERY much looking forward to in Disney World — it’s Space 220.

This upcoming, immersive dining experience is set to debut in EPCOT SOON and we want to make sure you’re in the loop on EVERYTHING there is to know about the space-themed restaurant. Let’s dive in!
Hello, DFB friends! It’s time to go over what’s new at Magic Kingdom!
As Disney World’s 50th Anniversary approaches, we’re seeing more and more updates in the park! We stopped by the park recently to see what other new things we could spot. Let’s go over everything new in Magic Kingdom.
Welcome back to EPCOT, where nothing is really going on these days (we’re joking; there are TONS going on lately at this park!). With Space 220’s long-awaited opening just a few weeks away, we’re buzzing with excitement every time we visit EPCOT these days.

Let’s check up on what’s new at EPCOT, including some exciting developments in the France Pavilion as Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure prepares to officially open for guests on October 1st!
Did you hear the news?!
Disney Springs
The NBA Experience has officially closed for good. Now, we’re seeing changes at the NBA Experience’s location in Disney World.
Hello to all the Animal Kingdom fans out there!
Tree of Life
While we were in Disney’s wildest park this week, we found a LOT of new snacks, some brand-new merchandise, and 50th Anniversary decorations with a special Animal Kingdom twist! Let’s check out all the updates that came to the park.
Halloween is HERE and Disney is ready to celebrate!
The parks are full of Halloween decor!
Everything is already in full swing in Disney World with Boo Bash, pumpkin treats as far as the eye can see, and Mickey gourds lining the streets! Over in Disneyland, things are about to kick off, because Halloween Time officially starts on September 3rd! And we have a look at ALL of the food coming to Disneyland Resort for Spooky Season!
Almost everything at Disney World is getting spruced up for the 50th Anniversary celebration, which (can you believe it?) begins in a little less than ONE MONTH!
We’re so close to the start of the 50th Anniversary Celebration!
Cinderella Castle got a HUGE makeover — complete with a new paint job, new decor, and a huge “50” sign right on the front. We’ve also seen other buildings throughout Magic Kingdom getting spiffed up — even the Prince Charming Regal Carrousel got some new golden touches! Now, something else in this park has gotten a golden upgrade.
A new system is taking over FastPass+ in Disney World soon — Disney Genie+!

The system is part of the new Disney Genie program that will be in the My Disney Experience app. Genie (the trip planning system) is free, but you have to pay $15 per day, per ticket to use Genie+ (the new, paid FastPass-like system). The paid system lets you select return times to use the new Lighting Lanes at rides around Disney World, which will allow you to skip the majority of the stand-by lines. We just saw a few Lightning Lane signs go up in Magic Kingdom, and now, we’ve found some in EPCOT!
