food IS a theme park
The day has FINALLY come!
Island Tower construction
For months, we’ve been patiently watching as the new Disney Vacation Club (DVC) tower at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, called Island Tower, has taken shape, and the time has finally come for us to step inside for the very first time. There are new dining options to explore, a new pool and splash pad, and, of course, new rooms. Come with us to check it all out!
Dole Whip is a Disney World staple!
DOLE Whip is a must on your Disney trip.
There are so many favorites we obsess over like Casey’s Corn Dog Nuggets, the Cheshire Cat Tail, and annual seasonal treats. No matter how many treats we try and love though we keep coming back to that classic pineapple ice cream and we just found the best place to get it in Disney World!
The opening of the new Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is finally here!
Island Tower
We’ve been so excited for about ever since it was announced, and now we’re finally getting a chance to step inside for the first time. While this is a Disney Vacation Club (DVC) tower, anyone can book a stay here, and there are tons of new amenities to explore, like the new Wailulu Bar & Grill! Come with us to take a look inside this new restaurant for the first time!
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.
Polynesian Village
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?
