food IS a theme park
Unsurprisingly, not all Disney World change is met by a universal embrace.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
If you’re like us, you’ve been extensively following the progress made on Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort‘s NEW Island Tower Disney Vacation Club (DVC) villas. Debuting on December 17th, 2024, this new tower promises a luxurious stay, but that doesn’t mean it’s been safe from controversy. The design has created a divide and, honestly, we understand both sides of the argument.
Disney souvenirs may be some of the most popular merchandise in the world.
The Emporium in Magic Kingdom
There are some awfully cute items you can buy in the parks to have as keepsakes. However, we also know that Disney has sold some pretty unhinged souvenirs as well. You may remember the strange spaghetti Stitch, the creepy alien keychains, gross sticky dinosaur toys, and the bags that stare into our souls, just to name a few. We’ve seen some odd souvenirs here at DFB, but we had to know what the WEIRDEST Disney souvenir our readers have heard of. SPOILER — things get a little odd from here.
We’re no strangers to the best eats in Disney World. In fact, we’ve pretty much tried them all.
We love Disney food!
But, we especially love being able to bring you the best tips, tricks, and hacks that can get you the best Disney World eats in a better, easier, and cheaper way. We often talk about one Disney World dining hack, in particular, that we happen to love. But, we recently realized that it might be a rip-off — here’s why we still love it anyway.
We know. You can’t get enough of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
Polynesian Village Resort
It’s one of Disney World’s deluxe resorts and one of the monorail resorts. It’s got incredible theming and the view of the castle and fireworks is spectacular. However, we’ve come across some things that almost ALWAYS seem to happen when we stay there that we need to warn you about.
I know we talk a lot about the best items you can buy at the Disney World parks, but that’s not what we’re doing today. Let’s talk about the things that you can get that are based on the hotels!
Well, time to buy more Loungeflys.
In the hotel gift shops, you’ll typically find some pretty unique and exclusive souvenirs like resort-specific Minnie ears and other accessories. But did you know there are also hotel-inspired Loungeflys! We’re bring you a list of the best today!
Oh, how we love new merchandise collections. Our wallets? Maybe not so much.

The Disney parks aren’t the only places to find new merchandise either. Don’t forget that Disney World Resorts often have their own special merchandise you don’t want to miss out on. We hopped on the Monorail and headed over to two of Disney’s Magic Kingdom Resort hotels and found not one, but TWO new collections!
Ever wonder what a bunch of Disney World experts really eat in Disney World? When we’re not trying all the latest and greatest snacks, what’s our true favorite? Is it a Mickey Bar? A bucket of popcorn?
Spoiler Alert: It isn’t a Mickey Bar (phew!!)
We’re gonna let you in on a little secret: While we love Disney’s creativity, a lot of those colorful, over-the-top treats look better than they taste. Instead, the DFB team cannot stop eating one food — can you guess what it is?Â
Keeping up with Disney World news is a full-time job. You can trust us, because, well, it is our full-time job.
Cinderella Castle
And dining changes are a whole different beast altogether. Planning a trip can be overwhelming for someone who hasn’t been there in a while — especially when there are new restaurants that weren’t there on your most recent visit. But, we’ve eaten at every single restaurant in Disney World and are sharing all of the new ones that might have opened since your last trip!
Welcome back to Disney World’s resorts — we have lots of news to share!

Hey, Disney has arrived!
