food IS a theme park
Don’t you just love a good hack, especially when you’re visiting Disney World?
Hydrate with FREE Ice Water
Whether you’re talking about hacks like rope dropping, staying on budget by using Disney gift cards, or getting plenty of free ice water around the parks, we really do love saving time, money, and effort! To that point, we wanted to pick your brain on hacks you use at Disney World.!
While there are lots of changes happening inside Disney World’s theme parks with Test Track’s retheming, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opening, and so much more, there’s even MORE happening outside the park gates.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Fort Wilderness has been getting new Disney Vacation Club (DVC) cabins, and in December 2024, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort will open their new DVC tower, built on the ground that housed Spirit of Aloha dinner show at the resort for decades. We asked our readers on Facebook if they’re planning on staying in the new tower, Island Tower, and we got a pretty strong response!
Disney has been catching some heat for recent changes they’ve made, so is there ANYTHING they’ve done right lately?!
Magic Kingdom
Lofty, “blue sky” plans have been replaced with cheaper, more generic ones, and don’t even get us started on the free FastPass and FastPass+ being replaced with Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes — a new, paid, skip-the-line service. With so much discontent sowing among Disney fans, we have to wonder: Has Disney done anything right these past few years?!
Disney parks are full of people of all different ages — multi-generational families, large reunions, competition groups — you name it, they’re there!
Magic Kingdom
While there are some things that never change, Disney Parks are not one of them, and neither are the people who visit! Things change between generations — preferred attire, societal expectations, etc. But how does this affect Disney World? We asked our older readers on Facebook to share with us some of the shocking or unexpected things they see the younger generations do in the Disney parks, and WOW was it a hot topic!
Magic Kingdom can be quite a hectic place, we get it!
Magic Kingdom
You can make your trip less stressful by researching and booking what dining reservations you want ahead of time, making a loose plan of what you’d like to accomplish during your trip, and packing all your essentials. However, some of the stressors from your trip will likely come from other people’s actions that you can’t police — in fact, 90% of Disney fans want to BAN these things from Magic Kingdom!
Sometimes it can feel like the best days at Disney World were in the past.

To that point, we wanted to get your thoughts on some of the things you’d never believe used to be normal in Disney World!
We’ve all got that one ride that we can’t wait to get on when we visit Disney World!
TRON Lightcycle / Run
And with over 25 attractions to choose from, it can feel like there isn’t enough time to do them all. But today, let’s focus on one ride in particular. Let’s talk about TRON Lightcycle / Run in Magic Kingdom and why, for some reason, all of us Disney Adults can stop asking for a specific row when we get on it!
It’s overwhelming walking into shops in Disney World. If you’re like us, you might find yourself just wanting to buy EVERYTHING.
Creations Shop
However, we end up having to pick and choose which souvenirs we buy, and it seems like everyone on our team has a favorite. However, we asked YOU, our DFB readers, which souvenirs you think are perfect, and there was one Disney souvenir that stood out above the rest.
You know, if you’re trying to stay at Disney World, you have a LOT of options!
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
I mean, with over 25 hotels to pick from and three different categories (deluxe, moderate, value), it’s enough to make your head spin. But what if you want to stay as close as physically possible to your favorite park? Say you’re into Magic Kingdom. Well, we want to help narrow things down for you, so, to that point, we wanted to get your thoughts on which of the Magic Kingdom monorail hotels you would Kiss, Marry, or Kill!
