By 4 Comments

What’s one of the most DIVISIVE things that could happen to you in Disney World? A ride evacuation, for sure! Confused? Allow us to explain!

Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway

For some people, getting evacuated from a Disney World ride can absolutely ruin the day, especially if you’ve got a dining reservation to make, you waited in the queue for an extended period of time, or it’s your first time experiencing the attraction. However, for other people…it’s a dream come true! You get the chance to see a little behind-the-scenes action, and it can honestly be pretty fascinating. Recently, we got evacuated off of one of Disney World’s newest rides, and we thought you might want to see what it’s like!

If you’re going to Disney World anytime soon, there’s one hot topic that you NEED to know about…Disney Genie+!

Lightning Lane

The new offering in the theme parks is a paid system ($15 per person, per day) that allows guests to skip the standby lines for certain rides and attractions, walking instead through the faster-moving Lightning Lanes. Ever since the system was introduced back in October, we’ve seen several changes, and now two more attractions got added to the list!

Explaining Disney World NOW to Someone Who Hasn’t Been in Decades

By 2 Comments

It’s no secret that Disney World is constantly changing and adapting to the times!

Disney World has been through some big changes!

Over the last 50 years, we’ve seen updated rides, changed restaurants, the addition of new hotels, and even new theme parks get built. As technology and culture evolve, Disney World does its best to keep up, and so we get theme parks that are VERY different from what they were a few decades ago. But what about those guests who haven’t been in a few decades — what do you need to know about the changes? Well, today we’re breaking it down for you!

VIDEO: Expedition Everest Ride Vehicles Were Testing in Disney World Today

By Leave a Comment

Before you head to Disney World, there’s one big thing you should do that a lot of people forget about — checking the list of refurbishments!

It’s very quiet over here right now!

Throughout the year, various Disney attractions will close briefly to get routine maintenance. Sometimes those refurbishments are short, only lasting a week or so, while other times they may stretch on for months or even years (we’re looking at you, Walt Disney World Railroad!). Right now, Expedition Everest is in the middle of a three-month refurb, and we noticed some changes at the ride today!

A Classic Disneyland Attraction Will Temporarily CLOSE Soon

By Leave a Comment

At DFB, we love the classics, and there’s nothing more classic than the original Disney park…Disneyland! Between the two parks in Anaheim, California, there is SO much to see and do! Disneyland is full of unique attractions, characters, and even festivals! Even the attractions that eventually made their way to Disney World, like “it’s a small world,” the Haunted Mansion, and Pirates of the Caribbean are actually DIFFERENT in Disneyland!

Have you ever been to Disneyland?

There’s one iconic attraction that is exclusive to Disneyland, though, and we have an important update to share regarding the ride.

Wrong Answers Only: Describing Disney World Rides

By Leave a Comment

Disney World is home to dozens of rides across its four theme parks!

Big Thunder Mountain

Some of these rides are classics, lasting for more than 50 years, while others are brand-new, drawing in guests to see what the hype is all about. The rides are perhaps the biggest draw for guests to come to Disney World, but some of them are a little weird…if you really think about it. Today, we’re describing Disney rides literally, so you understand exactly what we mean!

PHOTOS: Our Favorite EPCOT Ride (Don’t @ Us) Is Getting Its Holiday UPDATE

By 4 Comments

Holiday overlays are one of our favorite parts of the season in Disney World! And, we couldn’t be more excited that the parks will be bringing them back to multiple attractions during the day and for Disney’s Very Merriest After Hours this year!

Christmas Decorations

In the past, we’ve seen holiday overlays at Tomorrowland Speedway, Jungle Cruise (AKA Jingle Cruise), Space Mountain, Mad Tea Party, Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor, and beyond. While we’ve already seen holiday decorations sweep across the parks, it looks like one of our first attraction overlays is in progress too!

Would You Have Noticed This Secret Celebrity in Disney World?

By Leave a Comment

If you’ve ever been to Disney World, then you know that ride preshows are essential to the story.

Rise of the Resistance Preshow

The preshows set up the events for the ride and often contain some quote-worthy scripts and one-liners. Many of them have massive fanbases filled with people who can quote them from beginning to end. And recently, a popular pre-show character finally made his way to Disney World!

Now We Have To Worry About SURGE PRICING On Our Disney World Rides?!

By 36 Comments

Disney Genie+ is a new paid service coming soon to Disney World and Disneyland. There’s a lot to unpack with this new Fastpass+ replacement, and we still have a lot of questions about how everything will work!

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

One thing we do know is that guests who want to use the Lightning Lane will have to pay for select attractions separately, like the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, by making Individual Attraction Selections. If you’ve been to Disneyland Paris recently, you might notice some similarities in the new Individual Attraction Selection process — let’s break it down!
