food IS a theme park
Did another Disney Springs meal disappoint us?

While we’ve had exceptional meals at Disney Springs and some that left us feeling it was a bit lacking, we knew there were more dining experiences to try. However, since we were interested in a BIG meal, we decided to hit up one of Disney World’s signature dining restaurants to see if it left a better impression on us than the last meal we ate here.

The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels and Swan Reserve Hotel are located right on the Disney World Resort near both Hollywood Studios and EPCOT.
Swan & Dolphin
The three hotels offer several perks that are the same as Disney World Deluxe hotels, but you’ll often pay a lower price for your stay. They offer free transportation to the parks and are within walking distance to Hollywood Studios and EPCOT (or you can catch a boat to these parks!). Inside the hotels are also some great places to grab some delicious food, such as Shula’s Steakhouse, The Fountain, Amare, and more. Recently, one signature dining location at the Swan just won an exciting award!
As 2024 comes to an end, we can’t help but reflect on everything that happened in Disney World this year.

Okay, what we really can’t help reflecting on are all the delicious eats and drinks we tried in Disney World this year! We discovered new restaurants, and new snacks, and even said goodbye to some of our favorites. But, 2024 isn’t over quite yet which means we’ve got one final snack to try as we usher in the New Year!
I need to talk about something I just learned that has totally rocked my world — Rogue waves. Yup, you heard that right.

I go on a lot of cruises — some for work (like a recent trip on the brand new Disney Treasure cruise ship), and some for pleasure. But now, I discovered that these enormous, freak waves can occur out of nowhere, and I’m wondering if I should second-guess my entire vacation.
We love our fair share of Disney merch, but if there’s one thing we truly can’t stop buying, it’s definitely a new Loungefly bag!
Loungefly bags make great holiday gifts!
With so many designs and styles to choose from, we can’t help adding to our ever-growing collection. This is why we’re always on the lookout for the newest Loungefly bags available online and this time we spotted some incredible finds on Amazon. Let’s check them out!
We’re all about Disney FOOD here at DFB. It’s in our name, after all.

We keep track of the latest and greatest eats, drinks, restaurant news, menu changes, and a whole lot more. So, when a seasonal restaurant shows signs that it might reopen soon, well, we get pretty darn excited. We recently spotted something that made us think Tortuga Tavern would reopen soon in Magic Kingdom, but then again, maybe we didn’t…
It’s time to visit our favorite town of mischief and nonsense!
Tiny train town!
That’s right, I’m taking you on a trip to EPCOT’s tiny train town, otherwise known as a hive of scum and villainy. This itty bitty city has had QUITE the year in 2024, with a variety of crimes and scandals that I’ve uncovered during my tenure as its mayor. But just because we’re wrapping up the year, doesn’t mean we’re wrapping up the shenanigans!
We love Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
Disney’s shopping and dining district is one of our favorite places to spend time in Disney World without paying for a park ticket. From the incredible restaurants to the fun entertainment and special shopping, there is so much to do. We’ve even found some of our favorite Disney snacks and we might have just found a new favorite.
