food IS a theme park
Park bags have definitely changed over the years.
Loungefly bags
And we don’t just mean style, although that has changed too. But the bags people take to the parks are so much more than just a way to carry all their essentials around!
With all of the news coming out of the Disney theme parks lately, it might feel like it’s a little hard to keep up with much else, but luckily for you, you’re in the right spot!

Oh, Disney. You keep us on our toes! Here’s the thing about Disney World: it is in a constant state of change. Not a single day goes by without us spotting some kind of new treat, new merchandise collection, or even a new concrete update. Even Disney experts can’t get too comfortable in the parks — there’s a lot to keep up with, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
EPCOT
Now, let’s talk about the latest sneaky update we spotted in EPCOT. In case you haven’t heard, the 2024 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is starting SOON (August 29th, to be exact), and there are some new additions this year! While there’s a lot to look forward to at this year’s festival, there has been one update Disney hasn’t officially shared. Yet.
We have big news for our friends who love to stay on property at Disney World!
Swan and Dolphin
However, this news is particularly for those folks who want to stay on property but prefer to stay at the hotels that AREN’T owned and operated by Disney, one of the most popular being the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resorts. Despite the name, these hotels are owned by Marriott, not Disney! And while there are already tons of Disney World park perks for staying at these hotels, a NEW perk has been announced that coffee drinkers will love.

One of the biggest announcements at the recent D23 Ultimate Fan Event was the news that a massive Monsters, Inc.-themed land is coming to Hollywood Studios. However, along with the excitement over the land, there’s also been consternation about where the land will go. Turns out, some of the concept art gives us a hint as to just where it might go… and just how long Disney has been planning this expansion.
Summer is officially winding down (well, the concept of summer — it’s still warm in Florida), and fall is right around the corner.
Fall is HERE!
Of course, we’re already celebrating fall here at DFB — that comes with the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Magic Kingdom. We’ve also been diving into Halloween and fall treats in Disney World, so when we saw a new EXCLUSIVE Loungefly ALL ABOUT fall treats, our jaws dropped and we couldn’t grab our credit cards fast enough. So, obviously, we have to share this must-have fall bag with you.
MORE change has happened in Magic Kingdom at Disney World seemingly overnight!

But one thing’s for sure from this latest update when Disney World has set their mind to change, you could see results FAST!
