food IS a theme park
We are in the Disney World parks every single day!
Magic Kingdom
No really — every single day we have reporters in the parks so we can bring you the latest Disney news. Being in the parks this much also has the advantage of knowing which Disney souvenirs are totally worth your money. Our reporters made a list of the items they use daily.
Changes and updates happen seemingly all the time at Disney World.
Cinderella’s Castle
From the addition of Lightning Lanes and Genie+ to new rides and attractions, a lot has changed in just a few years! One change that seems to have taken the Disney Parks by storm is the addition of MagicBands and the MagicBand+. These scannable wristbands are linked to guests’ park tickets and the Disney app to allow them to scan into the park with just their wrist, as well as purchase food and merchandise, receive ride photos, and scan in for Lightning Lanes. While many Disney Parks visitors find the MagicBand to be useful, many feel otherwise!
You wear them on your wrist, they come in SO MANY patterns and colors, and they can make your life a thousand times easier while visiting the Disney Parks.
MagicBand!
Yep, we’re talking about MagicBands! While many Disney fans treat these bad boys like the holy grail of their Disney vacation, many people who purchase the bands feel that they don’t use them enough to get their money’s worth. However, those scenarios are typically caused by the person simply not knowing all the various ways that MagicBands come in handy. This post is going to serve as your complete guide to MagicBands, from a basic overview of how they work to all the ways you can use them. However, this post goes out to the Disneyland fans and the Disneyland fans only!Â
Who’s hyped for spooky season?!
Main Street, U.S.A. decorated for Halloween!
Here at DFB, we are PUMPED! And partly because Disney likes to go all out for Halloween. You can check out special decor in the parks, visit Oogie Boogie Bash or Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and enjoy lots of pumpkin-flavored treats. But if you’re celebrating from home, you don’t have to be left out of the fun. We’re here to share ALL the Disney Halloween merchandise you can buy online!
We’ve spent an ABSURD amount of money on souvenirs in Disney World.
Disney100 Merchandise
Like, if we went back just over the last decade and tallied it all up with the members of our team, we wouldn’t be surprised if we could buy a CAR with that amount of money. And some of that is because we’re suckers for a cool merchandise collection, but some of it is because Disney souvenirs are just so darn expensive! Just when we think they can’t get any pricier, Disney goes and raises prices again (we’ve seen it happen a lot!). So today, we’re sharing the 6 souvenirs you should buy before Disney World raises the price…AGAIN.
Disney Cruise Line is known for bringing the magic of Disney to the sea.
Disney Cruise Line!
There is a reason Disney cruises are so popular — people will even spend some serious cash for Disney Cruise Line designer bags. The Disney cruises offer special things like fireworks and holiday-themed sailings. There is even a NEW private island opening soon. Recently, it also just got easier to be on board a Disney ship.
Disney’s New Haunted Mansion film release is right around the corner!
Haunted Mansion
We love visiting the Haunted Mansion rides in Disney World and Disneyland, and whenever we see new merchandise released we have to physically stop ourselves from spending WAYYYY too much. And that’s exactly why we’ve just hidden our wallets…and think you should too if you’re an impulse buyer, because the new Haunted Mansion Classic Collection is online now!
Okay, who’s excited about season 2 of Loki on Disney+?
Alligator Loki plush
We got a little bit of a sneak peek at season 2, thanks to the end credits of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which is now available on Disney+. Disney also recently released a first look at Loki season 2. But there’s also a lot of NEW Loki merchandise, including a MagicBand+.
Have you decided to take a trip to Walt Disney World? Congratulations! The excitement starts the minute that you start planning your vacation.
Welcome to Disney World!
But where do you begin? Whether this is a first trip to Disney World or a repeat visit, it takes patience to research flights, transportation, hotels, dining, tickets, and more. We know that you have more questions than answers right now. You’re probably asking yourself all of these questions: Should I fly or drive to Orlando? Which Disney resort fits my touring plans? How does Disney transportation work? Where should we have a character meal? Which admission tickets do we need?
Disney has really outdone itself with its Disney100 collections.
Disney has gone ALL out for its 100th anniversary collection
The collections are all about celebrating Disney’s 100th anniversary with each collection focusing on different decades. So far, we’ve seen the 20s and 30s, but now the 40s collection is available online! We even saw some of these things in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, so if you’ll be in the parks soon, keep a sharp eye out for these items.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
