food IS a theme park
Welcome to your Disney-fied home away from home! May I give you the grand tour?

Because there’s SO MUCH you need to know about your new lodging situation that MIGHT’VE flown under your radar before. But, it won’t anymore after you’ve watched this DFB video!
We have fantastic news for all our Christmas fans out there!

Yes, we know it’s only June and that means Christmas is still 6 months away, but that doesn’t mean Disney is going to wait that long to tell us what’s going on in the parks for the holiday season this year! And today the company announced what we’ve all been waiting for — Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is RETURNING to Magic Kingdom once again!
A brand new holiday event has made its debut at Disney’s Hollywood Studios: Disney Jollywood Nights!
Powerline Max at Jollywood Nights 2023
Disney Jollywood Nights is a separately ticketed event that debuted in 2023 and we’re looking forward to experiencing it all again later this year! We recently spotted a hint that Jollywood Nights would be returning in 2024 and now we officially know when!
Everyone remain calm and try not to panic! We just got a HUGE announcement about the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays!
Exciting news!
You know we are a fan of the EPCOT festivals here at DFB, and slightly freaking out over here as we just found out the dates for this year’s Festival of the Holidays event!
Disney World Christmas fans are REJOICING right now because we’re getting tons of exciting news about this year’s Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
That’s right, the exclusive Magic Kingdom event has been confirmed for another year and we’re bringing you all the latest information as we hear it. And now we know when you can experience this exciting event this year!
Let’s face it — Disney World can get seriously crowded, especially during busy times of the year like holidays, school breaks, and long weekends.
Magic Kingdom
But, even if it feels like you can’t escape the throngs of people everywhere you look, there are still certain places you can run off to if you’re looking for a bit of peace and quiet. Even when everywhere else is disgustingly packed in Disney World, you might find that these spots are still weirdly empty!
Summer is in full swing in Disney World, and so is the heat, humidity, and rain!

But that hasn’t stopped us from hunting down new food, like a S’mores Shake that annoyed us because marshmallows kept getting stuck in our straw (still delicious, though). We also checked out some new food in EPCOT. We even mourned the loss of a beloved snack (why do you do this to us, Disney?!?!?!). While all that was going on, we kept an eye on Disney World restaurant menus, and, well, we’ve got more menu changes to tell you about this week.
Let us set the scene. You’re at Disney World with children. It’s dinner time. Maybe you’re dining at the 50s Prime Time Cafe at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Now, it’s been a long, busy day in the park. Your little one needs to sit down for a nice, hearty meal and get some rest. Only one problem. They’re restless. They’re hungry. They’re a little cranky. Great. Now what?
50s Prime Time Cafe
Well, lucky for you, you read THIS first, so you were prepared for this exact scenario. As an expert planner, you placed an order on Amazon and grabbed some handy items to make your Disney World dining experience BETTER.
If you have a day planned in Disney Springs, you’ll want to plan to have some lunch while you’re doing all that shopping…if you can ever manage to leave the seductive World of Disney store, that is (we know, it’s SO hard).
Raglan Road
Now, there are a lot of GREAT lunch options in Disney Springs, including some of our favorite restaurants. You could grab some quick bites to go, but if you’re looking to save a little bit of money (because…you know…all that shopping!), you might want to head on over to Raglan Road for the special summer lunch menu, which offers cheaper versions of many of Raglan Road’s existing lunch menu. Say what? Want to know what that’s all about? Well, we checked it out for you!
When we find food or restaurant in Disney World that we absolutely love, you KNOW we’re going to shout about it from the rooftops — a LOT.
Disney Springs
That’s why we will never shut up about the restaurants we ALWAYS go back to like Hollywood Brown Derby in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Nomad Lounge in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Sanaa at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, and Homecomin’ and Wine Bar George in Disney Springs. You can now grab a discount at one of those restaurants…if you qualify.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
