food IS a theme park
As a general rule, Disney World hotels are pretty amazing!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
Their theming is on point. They’ve typically got great dining options, and their proximity to the parks is unmatched. But that’s not always the whole picture. Sometimes we end up feeling a bit underwhelmed by a stay at a Disney World hotel. We wanted to find out what your thoughts were about which Disney World hotels don’t live up to their hype. We asked, and boy, did you deliver!
It’s pretty easy to imagine that everywhere at Disney World is all sunshine and rainbows!
Disney World
That’s pretty much true for just about anywhere you go on Disney World property. The resorts will blow you away with their theming and immersion. The restaurants will have you wishing you could eat there every day. And the parks — well, we’ll let them speak for themselves. That all being said, not every place in Disney World is great. In fact, there are some parts of Disney World that you should stay away from — at all costs.
August will be here before we know it, and that means that it’ll be time for Disney’s NEW D23: The Ultimate Fan Event!
Ticket Prices
We recently heard lots of exciting news about what we can expect at this year’s event, plus we got some important information about the ticket sales this year, but that got us thinking. There’s one important aspect of the ticket-buying process that just might make it worth it to spend $100 NOW (before tickets go on sale) to ensure you get to experience the event how you want. Hear us out.
When you’re riding on the wildest ride in the wilderness or walking through the World Showcase, you need a Disney park bag that you can count on. After all, we’ve been on a bumpy ride or two, and we know what it’s like to carry a bag full of souvenirs all day. Those string backpacks just aren’t gonna cut it.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
These days, it seems like EVERYONE has jumped on the belt bag bandwagon, including our DFB reporters! That’s right — we know alllll about the best belt bags for Disney World, and we’re here to share some highly-recommended items on Amazon. Let’s take a look!
Ahoy there, crew! After a long day at sea, we’re ready to head ashore and procure a meal. Luckily, a new gathering spot is coming soon, so all you salty sea lovers and plunderin’ pirates will have a special gathering place right in Adventureland.
Pirates of the Caribbean in Magic Kingdom
Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean attraction is arguably one of the most POPULAR Disney attractions out there! Even after all this time, we still can’t resist singing along when we hear, “Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me!” But did you know that a NEW pirate-themed location is coming to Magic Kingdom? Prepare to make sail! We’re going over EVERYTHING we know about the NEW Pirates of the Caribbean dining space.

So many restaurants to try at Disney Springs and so little time.
Our last stop
Sure, we all have our favorite places to visit when spending some time at Disney Springs, but if you want a truly unique experience (like dinner with a celebrity chef), there are some special events you’ve got to take advantage of. Luckily, if you’re totally torn or want to try out a few restaurants all at once, we may have the perfect event for you (and it’s not too pricey)! [Read more…]
The hours for one popular Disney World ride are CHANGING soon!
Animal Kingdom
Disney adjusted the opening times for this ride due to Daylight Savings Time, and those changes gave us MORE time to ride. However, soon the hours will go back to normal, which means you’ll have a little less time to get on this popular Animal Kingdom attraction. [Read more…]
Remember the Taylor Swift Eras Tour? Remember what it was like trying to get tickets for that concert? It was pretty nerve-wracking, a little chaotic, and also, in a way, quite thrilling. Well, are you ready to go through that same rollercoaster of emotions all over again?
Who’s ready for some BIG news?!
Disney fans and Taylor Swift fans actually have a lot in common! For one, they both use Disney+ to stream their FAVORITE films, and they both need FAST fingers and a CLEAR schedule when new ticketed events are up for sale. Today, though, we need to give you one more warning about a BIG Disney event happening soon. Are you ready for it?
Alrighty y’all, you know what time it is!
Pirates of the Caribbean
It’s time to take a look at this week’s average wait times! This week feels like a breath of fresh air at Disney World compared to last week! Last week, we saw intense crowd levels, and some pretty intense average wait times. Luckily, almost EVERY SINGLE ride’s wait time went down (and some by as much as 30 minutes!). While we’re still in the midst of Spring Break season, we lucked out this past week. [Read more…]
It took a while for some things to return to the parks and hotels after Disney World closed in 2020.Â
EPCOT
In fact, we’re STILL seeing some offerings return FOUR YEARS after Disney temporarily shut down. The Grand Floridian Hotel’s 1900 Park Fare restaurant is finally reopening soon, and we’re getting a new Little Mermaid stage show in Disney’s Hollywood Studios to replace Voyage of the Little Mermaid. But there’s one thing we’ve been HOPING would return to its full, pre-pandemic glory, and our wished may finally be coming true!
