food IS a theme park
When Disney World is already expensive, you might not have considered any of the optional upgrades you could buy.
Magic Kingdom
You don’t HAVE to get any upgrades to have a great Disney World vacation but you might find the extra cost of some of them to be worth it. We asked DFB readers, “What Disney World upgrade do you think is totally worth it?”Â
Disney World Annual Passholders are some of the most dedicated theme park fans out there!
Magic Kingdom
These fans (which also includes some of us here at DFB!) are willing to shell out hundreds or thousands each year to visit the magic, and they’re often the ones who show up for big restaurant and ride openings, merchandise drops, and special events. But recently, former Annual Passholders and wannabe Passholders have been facing a big issue — most passes aren’t on sale currently!
A LOT of people are mad at Disney World right now — and for a lot of different reasons.
Main Street, U.S.A.
We wanted to get to the bottom of why Disney guests are so mad at Disney World so, we turned to our readers! We posed the following question to our readers on Facebook: How has Disney World made you MAD this year? Here’s what they said!
With Disney World opening up reservations for 2023 vacations soon, it might be a good time to start thinking about the future.
What’s more magical than balloons on Main Street, U.S.A.?
It’s no secret that planning a Disney vacation is somewhat complicated right now when it comes down to rising airfare prices, navigating Genie+, park reservations, crowds, and more. We asked DFB readers to share whether they are (or are not) planning a 2023 Disney World vacation, and there were lots of responses!
Since Disney World’s reopening in summer 2020, Disney has introduced the Park Pass Reservation system.Â
Magic Kingdom
What started as a way to control capacity at Disney World as a health and safety measure seems to be the new “normal” of Disney vacation planning. The Park Pass Reservation system requires that you make a free reservation at the park you’re planning to go to before you can go in. This is pretty different from how park entry worked before, so we asked our readers if the park pass reservation system has changed the way they plan Disney World trips!Â
Have you ever DREAMED of eating with a certain character in Disney World?!
Chef Mickey at Chef Mickey’s!
Recently, we asked our readers on Facebook an interesting question: If you could add ANY character dining to Disney World, which characters would you choose to dine with? There were some brilliant ideas in there that we NEED to discuss.
A malfunction on Expedition Everest that sends you FLYING over the side of the coaster. The dolls on “it’s a small world” suddenly springing to life and climbing into your boat. Cracking aquarium tanks at the Seas with Nemo and Friends. All of these are very real fears people have about Disney, even though they may be fully aware that the fears are totally IRRATIONAL!
Dapper Dans on a Derailed Trolley
We’ve already shared the 15 most irrational Disney fears of the DFB team (there are some golden ones in there!), but we just had to open it up to you all — our lovely DFB readers — to see what YOUR irrational fears are. So, we reached out via Facebook and got some pretty scary, hilarious, and unique answers! Let’s dive in so you can see how many of these irrational fears you share (or have now adopted!).
Disney World is an EXPENSIVE place and for some, an Annual Pass makes sense — but is it actually worth it?
Disney World Annual Pass
We wanted to get to the bottom of whether or not Disney guests think an Annual Pass is worth the purchase so, we turned to our readers! We posed the following question to our readers on Facebook: If you’re a Disney World Annual Passholder, do you think it’s worth the money to have an Annual Pass right now? Here’s what they said!
If there’s anything we get excited about here at DFB, it’s Disney FOOD. And our readers are pretty dedicated to the craft as well!

But when you’re a Disney foodie, it can be a seemingly impossible task to decide where to eat on your next vacation. You think about it for months, but there are SO many good options! Recently, we reached out to our followers on Facebook to see which NEW Disney World restaurants they’re most excited to visit, and we got some pretty interesting answers.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is opening up SOON in Disney World — May 27th, to be exact! We’ve been waiting on this ride to open for what feels like soooo long, and the anticipation just keeps building because Disney has been showing us more and more of the ride. We’ve seen various parts of the queue, the entrance area, the loading area, and even the ride vehicles.
We’re getting closer!
We expect it will be VERY busy in EPCOT on opening day (especially because of what Park Pass Reservations are looking like right now!), but we wanted to know if people were planning their trips JUST for the ride. So, we reached out to all of YOU and asked the question, and we got some interesting answers!
