food IS a theme park
We love Disney attraction posters, both in Disney Parks and also in our homes!
Posters
Disney has been releasing past, present, and future limited-edition posters of EPCOT attractions throughout 2021. We’ve been loving all the limited-edition posters released so far and now shopDisney just dropped two new posters that we need to add to our collections!
Hello from Disney World!
Animal Kingdom
The potential power outages closed down a LOT of rides this week, but it didn’t seem to mess with the wait times too much! We did see the reopening of the Single Rider Line on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run this week but as of writing, the Single Rider line is still closed for Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, Expedition Everest, and Test Track.
Remember, there are NOT any Fast Passes in Disney right now, and we have no word on when they’ll be coming back. So, everyyyyone has to wait in the standby line. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the average wait times for all of the rides in Disney World this week!
From our first drop on Tower of Terror to a life-sized Carnosaurus trying to eat us on Dinosaur, Disney has found more ways to freak us out than we would’ve originally expected.
Tower of Terror
For parents with younger children, traumatizing little ones through the power of Disney magic during a family vacation might not be part of the game plan. They may try to avoid scary-ish rides altogether, sticking with tamer rides that provide “a world of laughter” or “happy little thoughts.” But however hard you might try to protect your child from the darker side of Disney, there are some ride scares you might not be able to avoid — and some you may not have expected to scare younger ones, at all.
When visiting Disney World, one thing you definitely want to be aware of is wait times!
Line starts here!
We’re constantly on the My Disney Experience app to check the stand-by wait times for rides (we need to know the SECOND Splash Mountain drops under 30 minutes!), especially because there still aren’t any Fast Passes in Disney World! There are attractions that almost always have really long waits, like Flight of Passage and Slinky Dog Dash, and those that you can usually walk on, like the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse. Let’s take a look at all the average wait times around Disney World this week!
As much as we love Disney World, not everything that they try to pull off in the parks is a slam dunk.
Some things don’t go over as great as Disney hoped they would.
We’ve seen some interesting ride ideas, some weird snacks, and a ton of things that just made us scratch our heads (Donald Duck being replaced by a hat-wearing plant, anyone?). Today we’re breaking down the times that Disney World tried to do something interesting and it didn’t go quite as planned. Hey, we’re still giving them an ‘A’ for effort!
If you love rides at Disney World as much as we do, then you might start to come up with cute nicknames and silly descriptions for your favs. For instance, Tower of Terror is the elevator ride that turns your stomach into Jell-O. See? It’s fun!Â
Tower of Terror
Here at DFB, we like to have fun with Disney rides, so we came up with new slogans for attractions in the parks, and we CAN’T. STOP. LAUGHING.Â
Over the past few months, Disney has released a number of different limited-edition posters and even some separate prints celebrating the past, the present, and the future of EPCOT!

And now…a NEW limited-edition poster and more matted prints have arrived for you to add to your collection! If you’re really excited for the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attraction coming to EPCOT, or you loved the Wonders of Life pavilion — you’ve GOT to check these out.
Navigating your way around Disney World can be pretty tough right now.
Ready For Your Next Trip to EPCOT?
Even if you’re a seasoned Disney expert, a lot of things have changed in the parks, especially if you haven’t visited recently. Due to social distancing requirements, many lines stretch can FAR away from their ride entrances. At some stores and other spots, you may find that the back entrance you ALWAYS used to use is now shut and there are more limited entrances and exits.
So, recently we developed a handy-dandy map to help you easily maneuver your way around Magic Kingdom, and now we’ve made a similar map for EPCOT! This might just be the BEST map you’ll use during your upcoming trip.
We’ve got a FUN one for you today.
Tower of Terror
If your favorite Disney character was an attraction, which one would they be? Funny you ask, because we’ve been wondering, too! We feel like we’ve gotten to know them pretty well through interactions and random sightings around the parks, but we trusted YOU, our DFB readers, with this mission. So we asked you on Instagram to compare your favorite characters to Disney World rides! Here’s what you said.
Today, let’s go to EPCOT, Walt Disney World’s second park!
EPCOT
The park opened in 1982 and has been a fan-favorite ever since, with the amazing technology and rides of Future World and the exquisite culture of World Showcase. EPCOT is currently undergoing a massive transformation (particularly focused on Future World), and we can’t wait to see what the park becomes! To celebrate and share our love for this wonderful Disney park, we’re talking about all 25 hidden secrets in EPCOT that you may not know!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
