food IS a theme park
Your next Disney World trip could become DISASTROUS if you don’t WATCH OUT for THESE major mistakes before you go!
EPCOT
The DFB Team has put our heads together to compile a COMPLETE list of what WE believe are the WORST mistakes you’ll wanna avoid in Disney World to make sure YOU never have to experience them firsthand yourself.
There are over 20 Disney World hotels to choose from when planning your vacation, not counting the Good Neighbor Hotels nearby!
Swan and Dolphin
Good Neighbor hotels are hotels that aren’t owned by Disney but have a partnership with the Company that allows people to enjoy some of the perks of staying at a Disney World hotel. This includes things like free transportation to the parks and Disney Springs, Early Entry, and, starting July 24th, being able to book Lightning Lane selections up to seven days before your arrival date. There are a lot of Good Neighbor Hotels to choose from, but we’re personally HUGE fans of the Swan and Dolphin Hotels — here’s why!
So you’re planning a Disney World vacation — that’s so exciting and we’re thrilled for you!

A day in Disney World can feel like running a marathon.
Magic Kingdom
You can quite literally walk 10, 15, or even more miles a day while you’re roaming around the parks. Even if you pause for breaks regularly, you’re whole body can begin to ache. If you’re doing two or more days of a Disney World trip, you’ll likely be ready for a week of sleep and a massage by the end of it. It’s important to wear good shoes, drink plenty of water, and eat plenty to help your body recover from all the exercise you’re bound to be getting on your “vacation.” But did you know that Disney offers a FREE amenity at many of its hotels at Disney World that can help your aching muscles feel better?
Details are out on this year’s installment of a popular annual event held on Disney property.
Swan & Dolphin
The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic is returning for its 15th year this November. The event will be held at the titular hotels on November 15th and 16th, from 5:30PM to 9:30PM each day, and we have all the details on tickets.
We’re sure you’re aware of all the great festivals you can attend at EPCOT, and we bet you’re very familiar with the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, which is set to happen this year from August 29th through November 23rd.
Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin
But did you know that there’s ANOTHER Food and Wine festival at Disney World? This one doesn’t even require you to buy a park ticket! It’s the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic, and dates for this festival have officially been announced.
It’s that time of year again, DFB friends, and we’re SO ready!
Food and Wine Classic
We’re live right now from the Swan & Dolphin Food and Wine Classic at Disney World where we can’t wait to try some amazing dishes. Come with us to check it all out!
There are so many restaurants around Disney World that it can be a challenge to decide where to eat.
The Dolphin
While some restaurants are so iconic they can be tough to get reservations for, there are gems hidden around Disney World that you might not even realize are worth checking out. The Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort is home to some of our favorite dining experiences, from the Food and Wine Classic to restaurants like Todd English’s bluezoo and Rosa Mexicano, but you have to leave the parks to try them. Just outside of EPCOT — inside the Dolphin — The Fountain is an unassuming spot with classic American fare like milkshakes and burgers. We stopped by for lunch recently to check it out — keep reading for our full review!
Yes, there is ANOTHER Food & Wine Festival that you might not know about at Disney World. Some may argue it’s even better than the one at EPCOT.
The Dolphin Resort
The Swan & Dolphin Food & Wine Classic takes place on Friday, November 10th, and Saturday, November 11th, 2023. The event will run from 5:30-9 PM on both days and will be full of incredible eats, inventive drinks, entertainment, and more. Wondering just what sort of dishes will be available this year? We got a sneak peek on what to expect.
Fall is an exciting time to indulge in different foods, and a great place to do that is EPCOT!
EPCOT
And… right next to EPCOT. Sure, we all know about the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival where you can snag different small bites from the seasonal booths scattered throughout the park. However, a lesser-known fall food event takes place outside of EPCOT but just nearby — at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotel.
