food IS a theme park
Be sure to check out our list of restaurants in the Magic Kingdom.
2025 is a big year for Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
We have new attractions opening while saying goodbye to a few. We will see some rides closed for refurbishment. Let’s take a look at all of the changes coming and how it will affect your 2025 Disney trip!
It is time to ring in the New Year!
New Year’s Eve
It is hard to believe that 2024 has come and gone, and we are hours away from welcoming 2025! There is so much to look forward to in the New Year, and Disney knows how to celebrate! We are in the parks today checking out the crowd levels ahead of tonight’s big celebrations in EPCOT and Magic Kingdom.
Magic Kingdom is about to go through some serious changes.
Magic Kingdom
To start off, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad will be closed for at least a year for an update. Tom Sawyer Island and Rivers of America are also about to be completely reimagined into a new Cars expansion in Frontierland. But wait…there’s more! That’s because a new Villains-themed land is coming to the area behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Magic Kingdom is even getting a new nighttime parade! In the meantime, let’s just say Magic Kingdom is going to look VERY different over the next few years.
Happy New Year, friends! Tonight is the night we say goodbye to 2024 and hello to 2025! Whether you’re hanging out at home with family and friends or going to a big New Year’s Eve soirée, tonight is the night to celebrate with explosive big booms and beautiful colors that track across the night sky.
2025!
Of course, the celebratory fireworks are HUGE in Disney World’s EPCOT and Magic Kingdom and this year is no exception. So come join us as we give you a FIRST LOOK at the special fireworks in Magic Kingdom that will help ring in 2025.
It’s the simple things in life.
Magic Kingdom
We love Disney World so much. We spend our days daydreaming about the best restaurants in Disney, changes coming to the parks, and our favorite entertainment in each park. We know that it’s always at the forefront of our minds and we can tell our love goes pretty deep because of what we found in Magic Kingdom today.
We’re all about Disney FOOD here at DFB. It’s in our name, after all.
Full spread
We keep track of the latest and greatest eats, drinks, restaurant news, menu changes, and a whole lot more. So, when a seasonal restaurant shows signs that it might reopen soon, well, we get pretty darn excited. We recently spotted something that made us think Tortuga Tavern would reopen soon in Magic Kingdom, but then again, maybe we didn’t…
Looks like Disney World’s Lightning Lane Multi Pass is getting a pixie-dusted price hike soon!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Lightning Lane Multi Pass is Disney World’s skip-the-line service, replacing Genie+ on July 24th, 2024. We’ve been keeping an eye on daily prices for this system, and we spotted a spike in pricing fairly soon. So if you’re heading over to Disney World in the next few weeks, here’s all you need to know!

Do you want to know one of our favorite tricks to riding as many Disney World attractions as possible in a single day?
Magic Kingdom
Nope, we’re not talking about hitting the parks for rope drop or using Lightning Lanes, we’re here to talk about Disney After Hours! These events are offered on select nights throughout the year, and with your ticket, you’ll have access to the park of your choice after it closes for the day. With After Hours, we’ve been able to knock out SO many rides with short wait times, and it looks like people are starting to catch on to the appeal!
If you’ve been looking for a way to skip those long queues at Disney World, you’ve got your options – mainly Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass.
Lightning Lane
But if you’re down to shell out for the ultimate skip the line option, then Lightning Lane Premier Pass (LLPP) might be what you want to choose. Speaking of the Premier Pass, there’s been a HUGE rule change that Disney implemented and it’s definitely been causing waves in Disney World. So let’s talk about it!
Disney World always keeps its rides up to date and working properly to ensure a great guest experience.
Magic Kingdom
Disney will often close rides to do refurbishments for routine maintenance, or sometimes rides won’t even have to close down for the Imagineers to make small adjustments. Depending on the maintenance, refurbishments can take less than a day to do or over a year (as will be the case with Big Thunder Mountain Railroad). A new permit that we spotted for another Magic Kingdom ride hints that maintenance of some kind is coming soon.
