food IS a theme park
Disney World is changing things up on us AGAIN — but don’t worry because we’re bringing you all the news and tips you need to know before your next trip!
Sunset Boulevard
Now that park pass reservations have gone away for most guests, there are new rules to follow when it comes to Virtual Queues. We’ve gone over the changes in a few different posts, but now we’re putting words into action. Come with us to test the NEW virtual queue rules in Disney World.
Okay, everyone stay calm. It’s really happening! The day we’ve been waiting for has finally arrived!
Donald is ready to park hop!
It’s January 9th and that means that a LOT of changes are happening in Disney World today. First, we can enter the parks without making a park pass reservation (at least most of us can). Oh, Happy Day! But all-day park hopping has also returned and we’re going to park hop ALL day. PLUS the Disney Dining Plan has officially returned and we’re ready to give it a good test drive. So hang out with us while we take on all these Disney World changes today.
Happy New Year, DFB Readers! It’s a new year with new food and loads of changes coming to Disney World restaurants this year.
2024 Cupcake at Animal Kingdom
The biggest change, though, is probably the return of the Disney Dining Plan (and we’ll be testing it when it comes back on January 9th). But we’ve also got some new restaurants opening this year, including Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs and The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers on Disney’s Boardwalk. Right now, though, we’ve got some menu changes to tell you about at Disney World restaurants.
It’s been a VERY busy weekend in Disney World.
Marathon Weekend Crowds in 2023
Although the holiday crowds are mostly gone, this weekend is also the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend, which brings THOUSANDS of runners to the parks and resorts. This is a HUGE event, and it usually impacts everything around Disney World, including traffic and, as of January 7th, the virtual queue system.
When it comes to drinking around the world, most of us “start left” at EPCOT’s World Showcase and head straight to the Mexico Pavilion.
La Cava del Tequila
There’s a good reason for that, though. Mexico is home to La Cava del Tequila, a bar that’s so popular even celebrities often frequent this spot. Some celebrities have even created special drinks for the bar. Well, we’re trying a NEW drink from La Cava del Tequila, and this one even snuck in a Breaking Bad reference.
Two Disney World rides will close THIS WEEK for LONG refurbishments! Disney occasionally has to shut down rides and attractions in order to update them, and although sometimes those closures only last a few days, this time two rides will be closed for multiple months.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Let’s check out all the temporary closures and refurbishments that will affect Disney World from January 7th through the 13th.
Are you planning a trip to Disney World in 2024?
TRON Lighting Lane
You’re probably trying to work up your budget if you are, and that might include the price of Genie+ (which is hard to predict because of its surge pricing). You might even have some rides on your priority list that you’re willing to pay EXTRA for with the Individual Lightning Lane. But which rides will even have Individual Lightning Lane in 2024? Here’s what we know.
It’s out with the old, and in with the new!
How is it already 2024?!
We’re officially a week in to 2024, and in just one week, we’re convinced that this year is going to be a great one in the Disney Parks. Why? Well, we got all sorts of GOOD omens this week. We’re here to spread the good word and tell you why the first week of 2024 was a GREAT one at Disney World. Let’s go!
It’s weird that we talk about drinkware as much as we do on this blog, but hey, it’s all part of the job.
EPCOT’s Germany Pavilion
From recommending water bottles for Disney World to showcasing the latest souvenir sipper cups and Starbucks tumblers, drinkware is pretty popular. Now there’s a NEW souvenir cup to tell you about in Disney World — that this one is a gorgeous beer stein!
