food IS a theme park
Okay, so we’ll admit that we’re a sucker for a good food truck.
Gideon’s
Okay, well, we’re a sucker for anything related to food, but there’s something fun about food trucks. Now, you may not know, but Disney Springs has several food trucks that pretty much stay parked in the area year-round. But a special NEW food truck has arrived in Orlando, and we’re excited because it’s affiliated with one of our favorite cookie spots, Gideon’s Bakehouse.
What Disney fan doesn’t love finding their favorite items online?

You don’t have to wait until you’re back in the parks to buy Disney items. Just look on Amazon! We found 9 Disney items on sale right now on Amazon today so let’s take a look.
Last year was wild: the Steamboat Willie version of Mickey Mouse entered the public domain and folks wasted NO time taking advantage of it.
Weighted Steamboat Willie Plush
We saw a Steamboat Willie horror movie that had been in the works for a while just waiting for this version of Mickey to enter the public domain. Following that, a video game development company announced a new horror title, called Infestation: Origin, a co-op survival game. Adult Swim also posted a video making fun of the fact that Mickey was now up for grabs. Well, now, another version of Mickey Mouse will soon have its copyright expire, sending it to the public domain.
It is hard to believe that it is almost 2025! We have already started our New Year’s resolutions, and of course, we are including lots of Disney World trips as one of our goals.
Animal Kingdom
A new year brings lots of new changes, and we are rounding up some of the biggest changes coming to Florida and Disney World travel in 2025.
It’s the holiday season, and one of our favorite traditions here at DFB is enjoying all the traditional baked goods!
Merry Christmas!
This year, the TSA has shared a reminder for the holidays that you are welcome to bring solid foods such as cookies, cakes, pies, and brownies through security checkpoints at airports. However, if a food item you plan to take with you on a flight spills, spreads, sprays, pumps, or pours, you’ll need to pack it in your checked bag! They also suggest packing a bit of extra tissue paper in with your baked goods as extra padding as they are going through security. The TSA also shared that its officers love cookies and baked goods as much as anyone and five officers shared their personal cookie recipes!
2025 is on the way, and there are a lot of changes coming to Disney World.
EPCOT
Tons of construction will be beginning in Disney World this upcoming year, which means that the parks are certainly going to look different. If you’re planning to spend a lot of time in EPCOT this upcoming year, beware — crowds will likely be heavier than we’ve seen in recent years for a multitude of different reasons!
I’m the kind of person who could get lost in their own house. I have literally NO sense of direction, and I don’t drive anywhere I haven’t been to at least a dozen times without using Google Maps and navigation.
So we know just how big Disney World is, right? And although the parks are laid out in a way that sort of makes sense (well, not you, Hollywood Studios), I can still get lost. Imagine if you’re someone like me with no sense of direction who’s never been to the parks before? Well, there’s a handy Google Maps feature the DFB team just uncovered that could make navigating the parks a lot easier — if you plan ahead.
Isn’t it wild how close we are to 2025?!
Welcome to the Most Magical Place on Earth!
And if you’re planning a Disney World trip in 2025, you’re going to want to brace yourself. Three of the four parks – Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios – are about to enter construction chaos. Big changes are coming, which is exciting in the long term, but in the short term? It’s going to be a mess. Let’s break down why these parks might have you reaching for an extra churro (or three) to cope.
