food IS a theme park
It’s Holiday time!
Mickey Gingerbread
Believe it or not, the Holiday season is almost upon us, and we here at DFB have the best way to celebrate. Our latest Christmas-themed merchandise collection celebrates one of our favorite Holiday treats:
Okay, fellow Star Wars fans (or those who are wanting to get into Star Wars). How about a fun challenge?

I’ve already admitted to being a big nerd, so it should probably not come as a surprise that I’m also into Star Wars. I pretty much love all Star Wars (and that even includes some of the books Disney has released), although I came into my fandom via the prequels (I know, I know, but they’re way better than ANYONE ever gave them credit for). So I sort of inadvertently started my journey as a Star Wars fan by watching the movies in chronological order, but if you’re looking to watch ALL the Star Wars movies and TV shows in chronological order, I’m going to help you out.
The holiday season is HERE! Christmas decorations arrived in Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom, gingerbread displays are coming soon to Disney World hotels, and the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays is about to begin!
Magic Kingdom Holiday Decorations!
With so much to look forward to this season, that leaves us with one big question: what kinds of new holiday treats can we EAT this year? Let’s find out!
We’re only a few months away from the inaugural sailing of the Disney Treasure, one of Disney’s new cruise ships!

We’re so excited to check out all the new dining and entertainment on board, but one of the perks we’re most looking forward to is the AquaMouse! This is a ride similar to the attraction of the same name on the Disney Wish cruise ship, but with a new storyline. However, this attraction is quite popular, so if you’re looking to avoid some long lines, here are the times you DO NOT want to ride!
Halloween has officially come and gone, and while we’re sad to say goodbye to all the ghosts and ghouls…
Festival of the Holidays
…we’re pretty darn excited to welcome the holiday season at Disney World! We’ve already seen holiday decorations pop up at Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios, and we’re counting down the days until the beginning of holiday festivities like the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays! Speaking of which, Disney just announced some pretty big news about this year’s festival!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Well, at least in Disney World, anyway. From iconic holiday decorations to festive events, there’s a LOT to enjoy in Disney World as we approach the end of the year. One of our favorite parts of the holiday season? That’s easy. It’s the massive handmade gingerbread displays all around the resorts!

In the past, we’ve enjoyed the gingerbread displays at hotels like Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club, and (of course) Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. Not only do these mega gingerbread houses LOOK incredible, but they also serve TREATS! Let’s see what’s coming to Disney World for the 2024 holiday season!
One of our biggest gripes with the Disney World parks centers around one thing: BREAKFAST. It’s not easy to find a quality quick-service breakfast meal in the Disney parks. What gives, Disney?! Well, we’ve got some good news — our trusty old favorite, Satu’li Canteen, is here to save the day.
Satu’li Canteen
Here’s a little history lesson for you. Back in the day, Satu’li Canteen used to have a full menu of breakfast items at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Then, over time, the restaurant shifted to a lunch- and dinner-only spot, leaving us breakfast lovers in the dust. But now that the holiday season is approaching and we’re anticipating more crowds in Disney World, BREAKFAST IS BACK, BABY!
Disney World is all about special celebrations — and we are here for it.
Disney Springs
We’ve just finished celebrating all things Halloween and the last Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is now over. The holiday season has just arrived in the parks and the first Jollywood Nights in Hollywood Studios and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom are coming up SOON. However, ANOTHER holiday celebration will be coming to Disney Springs soon — and there’s even a special parade!
Using Disney gift cards on your trip to Disney World can be a MAJOR game-changer!
Cinderella Castle
Pretty much anything you’d purchase at Disney World — from souvenirs to snacks — can be purchased with a gift card, and it’s an excellent way to stay on top of your budget. One of our favorite retailers — the wholesale membership giant Sam’s Club — is offering one of their best Disney discounts ever RIGHT NOW!
There are so many magical moments that happen at both Disneyland and Disney World!
Disneyland
Pixie Dust is all around, and you never know when you will witness or be part of a magical moment. We love it when we are in the parks, and we get to see magic made in real time! We wanted to share some of that joy with you, including an adorable video from Disneyland that is guaranteed to make you smile, as well as some other cute videos from Disney World!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
