food IS a theme park
Starting October 1st, 2021, Disney World will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary! But all around Disney World, preparations for the big celebration are already underway.
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
We’ve seen decorations being added to Cinderella Castle, lights installed on Spaceship Earth, and touches of gold being added to some rides. And now, ahead of the 50th Anniversary, one of the restaurants at Disney’s Contemporary Resort will also be undergoing some refurbishment!
Hello from EPCOT!
There’s nothing like EPCOT in the spring!
Our DFB reporters are constantly visiting all the Disney World theme parks to see what’s new and bring you all the latest updates. During a recent trip to EPCOT we discovered some UNIQUE chip flavors (Texas Grilled BBQ chips anyone?), got a look at some EPCOT construction updates, and found that a part of an attraction that had been REMOVED is back! Ready to go on a virtual trip to EPCOT with us to see what’s new? Alright then! Let’s go!
Magic Kingdom is getting some touch-ups for Disney World’s 50th anniversary!

Cinderella Castle is undergoing a major transformation, and Fantasyland is getting some spiffying up! On top of some fresh paint, shimmering gold leaf decor is being added to some classic attractions. We’ve already seen some signs of this on Prince Charming Regal Carrousel, but when we stopped by today we noticed some MAJOR progress!
There is SO much construction and makeover work being done in Magic Kingdom right now. Disney World is spiffing up just about EVERYTHING for the big 50th anniversary celebration set to happen later this year!
Get ready for some magic!
Cinderella Castle has been in the middle of a SERIOUS glow-up since last year — it got a new paint job, new fancy banners, new ribbons on the spires, and a stage in front of the castle has been under construction for a while.
We’ve been anxiously awaiting the grand opening of Space 220 in EPCOT for years…literally!
Space 220
Set next to the Mission: SPACE attraction in EPCOT, Space 220 is a restaurant unlike any other in Disney World. To enter the restaurant, guests will board an elevator that will simulate transporting them 220 miles above Earth to the Centauri Space Station. Once inside, guests will be treated to a full panoramic view of space as they dine! Sounds great, right? If it ever opens, that is!
Disney World is a pretty awesome destination.
Get to the parks in the mornings for lower crowds!
When you’re headed to The Most Magical Place on Earth, you might be trying to decide whether to sat onsite or offsite. Well, this year, the on-property hotels have definitely had WAY fewer perks than they have in the past. BUT…there’s a NEW perk coming soon. Or at least…there’s supposed to be one coming soon. Umm…did Disney totally forget about this perk they announced?
We’ve been keeping up with the 50th anniversary makeover that Cinderella Castle has been getting. It is LOOKING AMAZING!
LOOK at these gorgeous details!
It all started with a new paint job, but then we watched as beautiful drapes were added to the towers and pretty gold ribbons were added to the spires. This ain’t the Pepto-pink castle from 25 years ago!
We spend a LOT of time in The Most Magical Place on Earth.
Hey there Disney fans!
It’s so that we can bring YOU all of the latest news from Disney World! Of course, we’ve visited Magic Kingdom a few times this week and now we’re bringing you the latest in construction, and merchandise!
Have you visited Disney World’s flagship park in a while?
Severe weather in Magic Kingdom
We positively love strolling the streets of Magic Kingdom, especially when that means we get to look for news to tell YOU. Sometimes, that means braving some pretty wild weather, but we’ve still got all the latest news from the park!
We’ve been following the progress of the EPCOT transformation for a while now! That includes the new lighting being attached to Spaceship Earth, the front entrance’s DRAMATIC makeover, and the new fountain that still makes us “ooh” and “ahh.”
Harmonious Center Barge Testing
We’ve also been following the construction progress of EPCOT’s upcoming nighttime show, Harmonious. All the barges and the giant ring are in place, but when exactly will the show debut?
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
