food IS a theme park
One thing we can promise is that we will never gatekeep a good Disney sale. And we ESPECIALLY won’t gatekeep FREE Disney souvenirs!
Let’s go shopping!
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.Â
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!
One of the trickiest parts of planning a trip to Disney World (or anywhere) is the travel.
Orlando International Airport
Finding flights that fit your plans, budget, and needs can be challenging. The actual day of flying can even be super stressful. It can be a lot to handle — getting to the airport on time, checking bags, getting through security, finding your gate, and just hoping your flight is on time. Fortunately, a new law was recently passed that will help alleviate SOME of the stress of delayed and canceled flights.
Sometimes, you want to feel fancy when you travel to Disney World …
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
And sometimes, you book the cheapest hotel possible, skip the park hopper tickets, and pack everything in a backpack to avoid airline luggage fees … because you just NEED to visit Disney World, even on a bargain basement budget. Today, I’m headed right down to the basement with you to show you what is probably the LEAST practical way to get from Disney World to Universal … but it is most definitely the cheapest.
Things are always changing in Disney World, which is why we stay on top of everything so we can tell you about those changes.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
Sometimes those changes are HUGE, like an opening date for a new ride (Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, we’re looking at you — give us an official date already!). Sometimes, it might be a change that happened on a Disney World menu or a snack that’s gone missing. However, we’ve got a new update to tell you about that will change how you pay for two experiences in Disney World.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
