food IS a theme park
I’m a Disney World reporter, and I’ve done some pretty wild things to get content for our readers.
Caribbean Beach Resort
I’ve carried snacks halfway across the park to get pictures in front of Cinderella Castle, I’ve ridden the same ride four times in a row to get footage, and I’ve stayed in the parks well past midnight on more than one occasion — it’s all part of the job. But recently, I took a visit to Disney World where my editor made me do something pretty ridiculous!
We’ve gotta be honest here. This is a safe space, right? OK. Here goes. Confession time.
Cinderella Castle
DFB reporters are NOT normal. At all. And we don’t mean that in a bad way because they’re AMAZING and work super hard to find all the breaking news and research park tips and review every single food and drink. But having that job sorta makes them stick out like sore thumbs when they’re in the Disney World parks. [Read more…]
I’m a Disney World reporter, and I do some pretty weird things for my job!
The Flower & Garden Festival is HERE!
I take WAY more pictures of my food than any normal person, and it often means that strangers are staring at me in the parks. I’ve eaten at plenty of table service restaurants by myself, carried Tupperware in my park bag for snack leftovers, and memorized countless merchandise displays and Mobile Order menus. But on the first day of the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, you could’ve found me in one really unexpected place!
I go to Disney World for my job a LOT. Like, a lot, a lot.
Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle
In fact, I’m usually in the parks multiple times a week. Unfortunately, after a while, some things lose a little bit of their charm. Visiting The Emporium is less exciting when I’m fighting for my life while trying to take pictures of a new pair of Minnie ears, and Main Street, U.S.A. loses a tiny bit of its appeal when it’s slammed with fans before a parade. But no matter how many times I visit, some things never get old.
Our reporters here at DFB are hard-working people! They’re in the parks every day of the week to bring the latest news, braving the heat, the crowds, and the general chaos of Disney World.
It was quite the week!
This past week, our Disney warriors hit the parks for the 50th Anniversary, phones charged, cameras ready, and reusable utensils on standby — ready to try what seemed like a million snacks and share photos of all the news. And let us just tell you, it was NOT a normal Friday. Some pretty funny things happened to our DFB reporters last week!
