food IS a theme park
The 2024 holiday season hasn’t even begun, but yes it’s true — it’s already time to start planning your 2025 Christmas trip to Disney World!
Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade 2023
The holiday season is one of the busiest times in Disney World. With lots of families heading to the resort to celebrate the season, things tend to book up super quickly. And that means you need to be on the ball when it comes to planning your trip, even if it is still over a year out!
There are some extras in Disney World that many visitors always think are worth paying extra for.
Refillable mugs
That includes Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass, as well as upgrades to preferred rooms at some Disney World hotels, the Disney Dining Plan, and more. One of the most popular paid perk, though, could be the hotel refillable mugs that let you pay one price and get unlimited refills on drinks like soda, coffee, and tea throughout your hotel stay. Well, that perk just got a bit more expensive.
Okay, so we already know a lot of changes are coming to Magic Kingdom.
Magic Kingdom
In 2025, Magic Kingdom will finally get a nighttime parade again (and we can’t wait). But there’s also a huge expansion coming to the park, which will include a new Cars area with TWO rides in Frontierland PLUS an all-new Villains-themed land. However, one BIG change is coming even sooner than that — NEXT WEEK. And well, we have to say, We ARE READY.
Could an innovative Disney World hotel take the resort to a whole new level?

Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe has been making waves since it announced an opening date of May 22nd, 2025. The new theme park will feature several themed lands and a brand-new hotel — Universal Helios Grand Hotel — INSIDE the park. It’s been a popular practice to compare the future of Universal Orlando to Disney World’s future, which begs the question:Â will Disney World try its hand at putting a hotel inside one of its parks?
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!
The Cake Bake Shop
We’ve got thoughts from the first day of Lightning Lane Premier Pass in Disneyland; Epic Universe tickets are on sale NOW, and are the giant cake slices at The Cake Bake Shop worth the hefty price tag? We’ve got the tea (or should I say pink hot cocoa?)

You ever think back to those magical moments you had at Disney World? I know I do!
Happily Ever After
I’m talking about those times when you were zipping about on your favorite rides, eating the most delicious of foods, and, of course, watching the fireworks light up the skies above Cinderella Castle. Now, we all typically like to bring back some kind of souvenir as a reminder, memento, of the incredible time we had a Disney World. Speaking of those souvenirs, I try not to have any regrets, however, there’s this one Magic Kingdom souvenir I had to leave behind and I still think about it to this day!
Christmas Eve is just 60 days away!! I repeat Christmas Eve is just 60 days away!
Santa Claus is coming in 60 days, y’all!!!
When I realized just how close Christmas Eve is, I will admit, I got a bit of anxiety about all of the shopping that I need to do and all of the money I’m about to spend. But then I remembered that Disney will slash prices on souvenirs if you shop early. So, we rounded up a few of the best sales happening on Disney souvenirs on Amazon right now. So turn on that Christmas music, poor yourself a hot cocoa, and let’s go shopping!!
The Cake Bake Shop is officially OPEN!
The Cake Bake Shop
We have been waiting for this new Disney World restaurant to open for a LONG time. When the restaurant was originally announced in March 2022, it was expected to open in 2023. Well, we are now in October 2024, but the time has finally come!
Chances are, we’ve all been there. You’re bobbing along a Disney World dark ride, still dreaming about the hand-dipped corn dog you just demolished for lunch (or breakfast, I don’t judge) when out of nowhere — BAM!
This foot is NOT sanctioned by me
An eerie face stares back at you from the darkness. You can’t quite put your finger on it, but something about this face just isn’t right. Sure, logically you know it’s just an animatronic robot designed by the best Imagineers around — yet you can’t shake the feeling that those eyes are staring directly into your soul. You aren’t alone in this feeling, either, because there are definitely some Disney World animatronics that I’m pretty sure are possessed.
We’re finally getting a chance to eat at The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers at Disney’s BoardWalk!
The Cake Bake Shop
This new spot was originally set to open in late 2023, but was pushed back to Fall 2024, which means now is the time to finally try out items from the menu and see if the wild price tags we’ve seen are really worth the experience. We tried some of the bakery options already, but now it’s time to grab some items off of the dinner menu!
