food IS a theme park
When you come to Disney World, we want your experience to be as smooth as possible.
‘Walt the Dreamer’ Statue in World Celebration
There are more than a couple of things at Disney World that can quickly overwhelm you, especially during the summer months, and we don’t want any of them to weigh you down. To that point, we wanted to go over some of the “mistakes” that even the most seasoned Disney travelers might make at Disney World this coming August so you can avoid them like a champ!
Your next Disney World trip could become DISASTROUS if you don’t WATCH OUT for THESE major mistakes before you go!
EPCOT
The DFB Team has put our heads together to compile a COMPLETE list of what WE believe are the WORST mistakes you’ll wanna avoid in Disney World to make sure YOU never have to experience them firsthand yourself.
The day has finally come! Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is officially OPEN at Disney World!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Going forward, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will be available to ride as part of Disney Genie+, which is soon to be called Lightning Lane Multi Pass. That means this ride does NOT have an individual (or a la carte) Lightning Lane. To ride, you can purchase Genie+ for Magic Kingdom (or get the multi-park Genie+ option) and reserve a Lightning Lane for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Or, you can join the FREE virtual queue for the ride, meaning Disney will send you a notification when it’s your turn to ride. So…you’re probably wondering…how fast did Genie+ sell out on OPENING DAY? Well, we’re here to tell ya!
If you love Disneyland enough that you could go every day, then there’s a good chance that you’re a Magic Keyholder!
Magic Key Lounge
Magic Key passes are like the Disneyland version of Annual Passes. They are sold in very limited quantities, but sales resumed back in January. Folks were SUPER excited because this was the first time in YEARS that they’d been available. However, if you were hoping to snag your own Magic Key pass soon, we have some bad news.
Let’s face it. As Disney Adults, we’ve probably ALL dreamt of staying at one of Disney World’s Monorail resorts at some point.
Grand Floridian Resort
You see, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, Polynesian Village Resort, and Contemporary Resort all have Monorail stops. This means you can hop on the Monorail at any point and head on over to Magic Kingdom and EPCOT! However, if you’re planning on visiting Magic Kingdom, it can be FASTER at times to just walk! Being able to wake up in the morning and take a quick walk over to Magic Kingdom is viewed as a HUGE perk — and it is — but we need to talk about some downsides associated with walking to and from Magic Kingdom. Here’s why it might not be the hotel perk that you think it is!
Y’ALL. Can you believe it’s time to experience Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom?!

The Princess and the Frog-themed water ride is set to open to everyone on June 28th, 2024 after sets of previews for exclusive groups of Disney fans. Since construction started in early 2023, we’ve been anxiously waiting for the day we got to experience the attraction…and that day is here! We previously got a sneak peek at the animatronics, new characters, queue details, and more, but now we have to talk about merchandise!
There are few things we love more than Disney souvenirs and Disney SNACKS.
Welcome to the Emporium!
That’s why we thought it was the best thing since sliced bread when Disney shared that Disney Eats merchandise would be dropping throughout 2024. Each month, more snack-themed merch has been released, and we’ve seen souvenirs that range from macaron Minnie ears to popcorn-shaped bags! Now, though, we have another new Disney Eats collection themed to one of our favorite snacks.
In case you haven’t heard the news, Moana 2 is on its way!

Yep, the brand new animation will be in theaters on November 27th, and Disney has prepped us for the new film with the first official trailer. Moana was the most-streamed movie across all platforms in 2023, so it’s safe to say that the film franchise has a large audience with some BIG expectations for this upcoming film! Said audience really showed up and showed out ALREADY when the trailer was released.
It’s time to talk NEW Magic Kingdom attractions!
TRON Lightcycle / Run
Nope, this time we’re not talking about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. While the brand new attraction opens very soon on June 28th and has been in the news nearly everyday recently, we still need to talk about a Magic Kingdom attraction that opened over a year ago. Yep, we’re here to talk about TRON Lightcycle / Run! TRON is Disney World’s newest attraction other than Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, but we’ve been on it enough to know a thing or two about a thing or two at this point.
It’s officially June, which means that the Pride Month celebrations have officially started over at Disney World!
Happy Pride Month
Throughout the month of June, you’ll be able to snag a variety of celebratory rainbow treats throughout the parks and hotels. Well, we tried two of them, and we’re here to let you in on our hot takes.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
