food IS a theme park
Things change so much at Disney World that it’s hard to keep up with everything.

In Magic Kingdom, we just recently saw the opening of a brand new ride, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. We’re also gearing up to see what Disney has planned for the big Magic Kingdom expansion. Sometimes, though, things close in Disney World, and we’ve got a big update about some entertainment at Magic Kingdom that will be temporarily suspended.
Here at DFB we love hearing from our readers! Both the good and the bad, but especially the messages that talk about the great Disney vacation you had or how our videos and posts helped you plan your vacation. You all are the reason we are here and we are so appreciative of each and every single one of you!

We pride ourselves in providing our readers with the most up-to-date, factual, and helpful information about the Disney Parks. We want to make sure you have the best vacation ever, and that also includes saving as much money as possible!
Before you embark on your Disney World vacation, you may get a LOT of comments and opinions from the people in your life.

Some of these may be great pieces of advice, ones that we would give you! Others may be terrible, but the most important thing to remember is that everyone’s advice is based on what they have personally experienced (or heard secondhand) and everyone’s different. This also means that everyone’s preferences for their vacations are different. Even though we knew that this decision we made in Disney World was the right one, it certainly didn’t feel like it!
Over here, we have a love for Southwest Airlines!

It makes sense when they offer some great deals and discounts on airfare, and what’s not to love about the “two free checked bags” policy? These are just a couple of the things that sets Southwest Airlines apart from the rest. That being said, one of their most unique policies could be changing soon and we have thoughts from the experts. Let’s talk about it!
Can you believe we’re less than a year away from the opening of Epic Universe, Universal Orlando’s new theme park?

Don’t get us wrong, Disney World has had a lot going on, too, with the opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and the news of some big expansion projects in Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. But the future is a little more mapped out over at Universal Orlando. We know that Universal’s new theme park is set to open in time for summer 2025 if Universal can stick to its schedule. We’ve been keeping you updated on all the latest Epic Universe construction news, but here’s an extra interesting new development. Spoiler alert: it involves Disney World!
We are always on the lookout for new Disney souvenirs, and, well, we find them EVERYWHERE.

Obviously, we spend a lot of time looking for Disney merchandise at Target because Target and Disney have a special relationship, so Target gets a LOT of cool Disney stuff. We’re also shopping at warehouse clubs for discounts on things like Disney and Southwest Airlines gift cards. We’re even checking out Aldi for Disney merchandise. However, we recently went shopping at our local T.J. Maxx, and you’ll never believe the Disney merchandise we found (and it’s ALL discounted!).
Souvenirs are SO tempting in Disney World — trust us, we’ve been there!

And that temptation doesn’t even end when you’re out of the parks because there are TONS of adorable Disney merchandise online, too! Part of our job is finding that merchandise and sharing it with you, and if you’re a millennial, we’re warning you now that SO many people have been tempted to buy this souvenir online!
For the month of July, you can experience Flavors of Florida in Disney Springs!
Flavors of Florida
This event gives you the opportunity to try tons of exciting menu offerings that highlight the best and brightest flavors Florida is known for. There are SO MANY menu items you won’t want to miss out on, BUT there’s another addition that you can’t miss, and it may not be what you’re expecting. You CANNOT, we repeat CANNOT, miss…the talking tree.
