food IS a theme park
Disney World changes very often, which means you’ll visit the parks one time, and a few months later things have changed.
EPCOT
This can make it hard to plan your vacation, but that’s why we’re here! We keep up with all the latest Disney news so you know what’s happening the next time you visit. If you’re visiting the parks this year, here are some recent changes you NEED to know about!
One of Disneyland’s iconic attractions is closing for a weeks-long refurbishment… kind of?
The Matterhorn Bobsleds is one of the most revolutionary rides in Disney history. The coaster was the first ever made with a tubular steel track and completely redefined what a roller coaster could be when it opened in 1959. The coaster continues to inspire steel-built coaster behemoths around the world, and thrill Disneyland visitors daily… except those visiting on a weekday through the end of this month!
We already know what you’re thinking. Hot weather? Isn’t Disney World always hot?
Magic Kingdom
Well, from November to March, locals and avid visitors alike tend to LOVE the weather at Disney World. It’s typically sunny, a bit breezy, and around 70 to 80 degrees. However, late spring is when nature’s thermostat gets kicked up a notch and we start seeing temperatures above 90 degrees. Well, get ready, y’all. It’s coming.
We are fast approaching summertime, which means you might have a trip to Disney World on the horizon. And if you don’t, we think you deserve to plan one!
Southwest Airlines is adding more options to Disney World!
Well, getting to Disney World will be getting a bit easier starting in June if you are traveling from the Cincinnati area!
We are celebrating all things Star Wars in Disneyland.

Not only are we in the middle of Season of the Force, but we’re also attending Disneyland After Dark: Star Wars Nite, which is bringing tons of snacks, entertainment, characters, and more to Disneyland. This special ticketed event has returned this year with some brand-new entertainment and RARE characters. So, let’s take a look at it, shall we?
There are PLENTY of things to do in Disney World if you’re a Star Wars fan.
Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge
First, you can immerse yourself in a planet that resides in a galaxy far, far away by visiting Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. You can even eat Star Wars-themed food and shop in a Star Wars-themed market. If you’re feeling fast, you could even try and pilot the Millennium Falcon. Over at Star Tours, you can help a Rebel spy escape to freedom. You can also build your own lightsaber, but something has changed in that experience.
The sun has set. The stars are out. We suddenly feel like we’re in a galaxy far, far away. It’s Star Wars Nite at Disneyland Resort, and the Force is strong.

Disneyland After Dark: Star Wars Nite is BACK! This exclusive event will happen on select dates throughout April and May (April 16th, 18th, 23rd, 25th, 30th, and May 2nd, 7th, and 9th), giving Star Wars fans a chance to experience TONS of epic snacks, character interactions, entertainment, and more. But for a few lucky galactic visitors, there’s a NEW special honor you can enjoy!
Dining at Disney World can be expensive, and the cost can really add up depending on the size of your party!
Animal Kingdom
You could spend your days snacking around the parks or even order kid’s meals from quick-service restaurants to save yourself a little money. We have been finding the cheapest meals at each of the Disney World theme parks, and today, we are taking a look at Animal Kingdom!
It should come as no surprise that we love a delicious cookie and slice of cake.
Gideon’s Bakehouse
We know there are TONS of delicious places to grab cookies and cake in Disney World, but one of our favorites is Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs. They offer monthly options along with some fantastic staples. While they’re known for their sweet treats, we guess they’re selling accessories now, too?
Hopefully, you got those taxes done earlier this week, but here at DFB, we are still celebrating that we survived the dreaded Tax Day!
Congrats, you deserve a treat!
We survived, and after all that Tax Day work, we all deserve to treat ourselves! We think that planning a Disney World vacation may be just what the doctor ordered, and we are here to help make sure your vacation is amazing!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
