food IS a theme park
Are you counting down the days until your next trip to Disney World?
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
We don’t blame you. Disney World has some pretty epic rides like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Avatar Flight of Passage. That being said, we’re not the only ones who think that maybe some of the rides aren’t all that they’re cracked up to be, right? To that point, we wanted to get your thoughts about which Disney World rides you felt weren’t worth the hype!
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 go to Disney World a LOT and well, we’ve seen some things.
Hey, Gaston!
Some of those things are super cute, like baby animals out on the savanna at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Sometimes, we see sad things like an abandoned box of Dole Whips. Sometime we see things that make us laugh, like the antics happening at EPCOT’s Tiny Train Town. Then there are the cringey things we’ve seen. However, we asked YOU, our DFB readers to share the cringiest things you’ve seen in Disney World, and BOY, did y’all have some stories.
Are you heading to Disney World in 2024?
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Being that Disney World is open basically 24/7, you’ve got a variety of times and seasons throughout the year when you can plan your visit. Since Summer is fast approaching, we wanted to get your thoughts about not coming to Disney World during the summer and why. We asked and boy, did you deliver!
When you’re at Disney World, how often do you start your day with a breakfast of champions?
EPCOT
They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and if you’re at Disney World, there are options available to you. Maybe you grab a bite from your hotel’s cafeteria-style restaurant, or you make a reservation for a character breakfast at the park you’re going to. Speaking of the parks, not all are created equal when it comes to breakfast. Would it surprise you to know that if you want breakfast at EPCOT, you might not have the greatest options available?
As a general rule, Disney World hotels are pretty amazing!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
Their theming is on point. They’ve typically got great dining options, and their proximity to the parks is unmatched. But that’s not always the whole picture. Sometimes we end up feeling a bit underwhelmed by a stay at a Disney World hotel. We wanted to find out what your thoughts were about which Disney World hotels don’t live up to their hype. We asked, and boy, did you deliver!
We’ve seen some pretty weird things at Disney World, but what we’re about to discuss may top the list as one of the grossest. No, we’re not talking about the squid drink, the bear in Magic Kingdom, or even the SCARY Nanny Chairs at Disney’s BoardWalk hotel. We’re talking feet.
Squid’s Revenge…yeah this was a weird one.
Not everything that goes on at Disney World is pretty and perfect, and from time to time, we’ve seen some pretty gross and downright bizarre happenings. We recently posed a question to you, our readers, about some habits we’ve seen in Disney World and just how far they ranked on your personal grossness scale. Let’s see what our readers had to say!
Disney World is FULL of magical moments!
Cinderella Castle
No matter where you’re looking, you’re bound to see something sweet happen. Whether it’s a guest making magic for another guest or a Cast Member making the magic — it always feels SO special. We sometimes get to share our stories with you, so this time we wanted to hear YOUR stories. We asked about your magical moments, and your stories were so heartwarming that we couldn’t help but share a few of them. [Read more…]
Recently, a long-awaited change took place in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Hey Woody!
You may have noticed that while some character meet-and-greets have gone back to normal (close interactions) after the 2020 park closures, other characters have remained behind dividers of some kind in “character sightings.” This is where you’d see Chip and Dale having a picnic in Hollywood Studios, or watch Pooh with his butterfly net in EPCOT. Just this month, a popular meet and greet FINALLY returned in Hollywood Studios, but fans are pretty divided on it.Â
Changes are inevitable, but are they always good?
Are you ready for the changes?
Sure, Disney World has always had to change and grow over the years, and that’s true about any industry really. But we wanted to find out what your thoughts were about the changes that haven’t had the most positive impact on your Disney World vacations. We asked and boy, did you deliver!
