food IS a theme park
We know, it’s the last thing you want to hear.
Less than magical…
Your Disney trip is coming up, and hearing that one of your favorite rides is going to be closed is putting a damper on your magical mood! We get it. However, it’s best if you face the disappointment now and not when you’re at Disney World!
Sometimes it’s easy to forget that Disney isn’t tucked away from the rest of reality. When you’re eating a DOLE Whip, watching a parade, and riding on the Walt Disney World Railroad, it can feel like the “real world” has just completely disappeared.
Our happy place!
But, it’s important to remember that Disney World isn’t in a magical bubble, and “real” things can impact it. We’ve seen this with COVID-19, hurricanes, and now — a fire.
You can’t go wrong with a classic t-shirt while at Disney!
All the T-shirts
They’re so versatile — you can dress them up or down, wear them fitted or oversized, and they have designs for just about anything. Plus, you can’t find anything comfier on a hot day in the parks. If you’re looking for adorable (and affordable) t-shirts for your next Disney trip, we’ve got you covered!
WOW. It has been a huge week for Disney news.

We got massive updates about Disney’s financial status (and what CEO Bob Iger thinks about a multitude of things), a massive update on Disney’s Reedy Creek Improvement District, and SO much more. So take a second now and join us as we wrap up the biggest news stories from this week.
Many have wondered about the future of Disney since several major changes have taken place in the last few months.

One of those changes is the upcoming hiring freeze that former CEO Bob Chapek announced in early November. We found out later that month that Bob Iger planned to continue with the freeze, but we hadn’t heard anything since. Now, Iger has commented on the upcoming freeze and what it means for the company and its employees.Â
Only at Disney World is getting evacuated off a ride exciting! It seems that Disney just has a way of making the mundane magical, huh?
Spaceship Earth
Many guests treat the experience of a ride evacuation as a chance to take a one-of-a-kind backstage tour — witnessing all the ins and outs of their favorite ride in a way they’ve never seen them before! Most of these evacuations aren’t serious and can be caused by something as minor as a spill taking a while to be cleaned up or show elements like spotlights not working.
One of our readers was recently evacuated off Journey into Imagination with Figment! Thanks to DFB reader Beth M. for sending us these photos!
When it comes to Loungefly bags, we’ve seen a lot of interesting designs.
Loungefly bags
These fan-favorite bags, wallets, and backpacks come in all sorts of shapes, designs, and theming, and it seems that we’re always finding new surprises when we check online for more. We found some recently that might be the most interesting designs we’ve seen in a while! For this one, we’re taking it back to the days spent in the McDonald’s PlayPlace.
There are a lot of reasons you might want to take a trip to Disney World soon — new attractions, fun food festivals, major reopenings, and more.
Magic Kingdom at night
It’s hard to resist a trip to the parks when so much is going on. You just want to be a part of the magic, you know? But, sometimes the trip that you can take sooner isn’t the best one to take. So, let’s talk about the 2 major reasons you should ditch Disney World in 2023.
Do you ever wonder just HOW much money Disney as a company is making?

Or maybe you’re curious about how much Disney makes in its parks or how much Disney+ and Hulu are raking in (or losing)? If you are, Disney hosts an earnings call four times a year to go over its numbers — and we now know when the next earnings call will take place!
It seems like there’s almost always SOMETHING new at Disney World!
