food IS a theme park
Disney has recently celebrated some pretty big milestones.
Mickey at Red Carpet Dreams in Hollywood Studios
Disney World celebrated its 50th anniversary for what felt like an ETERNITY (and we still miss parts of that celebration — mostly that FOOD). The Walt Disney Company also celebrated its 100th Anniversary in 2023. We recently celebrated the 26th anniversary of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Well, another BIG anniversary is happening soon in Disney World.
You know, if you’re trying to stay at Disney World, you have a LOT of options!
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
I mean, with over 25 hotels to pick from and three different categories (deluxe, moderate, value), it’s enough to make your head spin. But what if you want to stay as close as physically possible to your favorite park? Say you’re into Magic Kingdom. Well, we want to help narrow things down for you, so, to that point, we wanted to get your thoughts on which of the Magic Kingdom monorail hotels you would Kiss, Marry, or Kill!
Pixar Fest starts SOON at Disneyland Resort, and we’re here to talk about all the fun Pixar-themed merchandise you’ll find at the festival!

We do our best to keep updated on all the best Disney discounts, sales, and deals, and right now there’s a really fun Wish-themed promotion happening on Disney’s online store. You can get a free gift just for shopping for some cute souvenirs!
Do you know where you’ll be in the summer of 2045? Maybe you SHOULD…
Cinderella Castle
There’s a lot of planning ahead that goes into a Walt Disney World vacation. Dining reservations, Genie+ strategies, making must-ride lists, planning out which merchandise to be on the look out for, etc. However, the potential planning ahead we’re talking about today goes a wee bit further out than that.
Kiss all those Disney World regrets GOODBYE, everyone!
There are lots of different guests at Disney World!
Because the DFB team and I are gonna make sure your 2024 trip doesn’t SPIRAL.
We’ve seen quite a few changes at the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD) lately.
Reedy Creek Improvement District
After the Reedy Creek Improvement District was out, the CFTOD was taken over by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who quickly appointed his own members to the board. Since then, we’ve seen a mass employee exodus in the district and more recently, some changes to those DeSantis-appointed board members. Now, it seems the district has officially agreed to change the name of Disney World’s fire department.
Most Disney fans know that there is a SCIENCE behind snagging the best spot on a Disney World ride.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Like, I will always wait for the very back row on Big Thunder Mountain in Magic Kingdom because the hills feel hillier, the breeze feels breezier, and ya get slung around like it truly is the wildest ride in the wilderness. I will also ask for a spot in section B row 2 (or section B row 1 if you don’t like feet in your face) on Soarin’ Around the World, so that I see the wonders of the world without squiggles and curves. I also LOVE getting the very front row on TRON Lightcycle / Run so that I’m just staring into a dark abyss after the outdoor section of the run — and that lil’ drop takes me by surprise every single time.
As Disney adults, we will pretty much watch any and all Disney Parks-related content.
Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular
For example, we binge-watched both seasons of Behind The Attraction on Disney+. We also love all the cool Imagineering videos we see on Disney’s social media, including YouTube. We also love when Imagineers share stories from their time working on attractions (we’ve learned SO much from Bob Gurr!). Well, now, Disney has premiered a NEW YouTube series, and it’s all about “How Happy Happens.” Okay, that’s a great title, right?
There’s a rogue town that’s bursting at the seams with crime in Disney World!
Spaceship Earth in EPCOT
That’s right, we’re talking about the tiny train village in the Germany Pavilion at EPCOT. We’ve uncovered many villainous plots in this miniature city’s storyline so far, from Godzilla-like bird attacks to murder to robbery…and so much more. But during this week’s visit, we spotted some new happenings!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
