It’s Rare That Anything Surprises Me Anymore, but This Hollywood Studios Addition Made Me Smile

Characters are a ton of fun to interact with while hanging out in the Disney World parks!

We love meeting characters in Disney World!

Meeting characters is not just for kids! Kids and adults alike enjoy these special interactions. Hugging your favorite character can make anyone’s day extra special. There are some characters that you can find regularly around the parks. Joy, Mickey, Minnie, Ariel, Edna Mode, Olaf, and more have daily meet and greets in designated locations that you can visit. However, there are a few characters that roam at random times on random days, and some characters are extremely RARE to see out and about. The other day, we stumbled upon one of these rare meet-and-greets!

5 Strange Things Disney World Pros Always Pack

By Leave a Comment

We know packing for Disney always consists of the same thing: Toothbrush? Check. Shoes? Check. Sunscreen that’s pretty much necessary thanks to the unforgivable Florida heat? Check X100.

Magic Kingdom

The basics are necessary, but there are some items that real Disney pros pack to avoid any hiccups during their trip, and we think these should be just as necessary as shoes and sunscreen.

Those problems were most evident at major airports, including Orlando International Airport, where the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a ground stop. This resulted in numerous flight delays. Now, several days later, some airlines are still struggling to get their planes in the air due to the issue.

What do you mean another week in Disney World has passed? Time flies when you’re having fun, right?

While we’ve been celebrating 15 years of DFB (and it doesn’t even seem like 15 years have passed!), we’ve been making our way around Disney World, doing what we do, eating nine snacks in one day (all FOR YOU), trying out some new ice cream treats, and keeping you updated on the best food in Disney World.

NEWS: Disney Hotels Sharing Important Information Before Major July 24th Changes

By Leave a Comment

For years, Disney World has experimented with different ways to skip the lines at its popular attractions. There was FastPass+, there were paper tickets and kiosks, and eventually, there was Genie+. These days, if you want to access the Lightning Lane (a.k.a. the shorter “express lane”), you need to pay an additional fee. As it stands currently (now through July 23rd, 2024), Disney Genie provides access to Lightning Lanes as well as other planning tools to help you maximize your time in Disney World. But soon, this service is changing.

In fact, BIG changes are coming to Genie+ at Disney World SOON! Starting July 24th, 2024, there will be an official name for the Lightning Lane service that is currently part of Disney Genie. Say hello to Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass, an updated version of Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes. OK, this may sound confusing, but we’re here to help! Recently, it seems like Disney has taken a step to help clear up some confusion, too.

Your New Favorite Park Bag Just Landed in EPCOT’s United Kingdom Pavilion!

By Leave a Comment

We can never over-stress the importance of a good park bag, but we know everyone has their own preferences when it comes to what kind of park bag to use.

UK Pavilion at EPCOT

For example, belt bags are great if you only want to carry a few essentials. We tend to be SUCKERS for Loungefly bags because they allow us to express all our Disney nerdiness and are big enough to carry things like water bottles, chargers, phones, and more. However, Lug bags are now becoming pretty popular, and we’ve seen some of the crossbody Lug bags (like the Figment one) sell out in SECONDS. Well, Lug makes cute backpacks, too, and we just found the one you need at EPCOT.

CELEBRITY SIGHTING: A Popular Chef Just Visited Disney World, and Had a GREAT Time at Jaleo!

By Leave a Comment

It’s fun to see celebrities around Disney World!

Magic Kingdom

Every once in a while, we hear that a celebrity was visiting the theme parks with friends or family, which means that you may have had a chance to run into them while they were there. It’s even cooler when the celebrity has their very own attraction or restaurant in Disney World that they visit, along with many other areas of the resort. That’s exactly what happened yesterday, July 20th, when we spotted Maneet Chauhan hanging out with her family!

By 1 Comment

We’ve seen our fair share of celebrities and “important” people spend time at Disney World over the years.

Grand Floridian Resort

I mean, hasn’t it been the thing that many people would say when they win a sporting event or some award that they would be going to Disney World? Not to minimize any celebrity, but they’re like us too in that they enjoy their time at Disney World just like we do. Did you know that Disney World has even hosted royalty? Well, let’s talk about the room where Princess Diana herself stayed in when she visited Disney World!
