food IS a theme park
Magic Kingdom has been going through a LOT of changes over the past few years.
Frontierland
TRON Lightcycle / Run finally opened in April 2023, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure just opened in Frontierland in the ride building that used to house Splash Mountain (same ride system, different theming), and Country Bear Jamboree went under refurbishment in January to introduce a new show. And it’s finally ALMOST time to experience this updated attraction!
There is a sale going on at the Disney Store, and you need to know about it! You deserve a little treat and a new piece of Disney merchandise is just what the doctor ordered (at least that is what we are going to tell ourselves as we buy way too many things this weekend…).

You can save sitewide on Disney merchandise, so what are you waiting for? The sale only lasts for a few days, so make sure you take advantage of it soon!
Are you planning a trip to Disney World? Do you have Magic Kingdom on the brain? Have you been looking at Disney World restaurants and making those advance dining reservations? Good! That means you’re a SMART Disney planner. And you’ve come to the right place.
Magic Kingdom
We’re here to help you plan ahead so that you won’t be caught off guard by unexpected closures or disappointing updates. There’s nothing worse than visiting your favorite ride only to see it boarded up and under construction. We don’t want that! Now, come along with us as we take a look at all the upcoming ride closures in Disney World this August.Â
Your next Disney World trip could become DISASTROUS if you don’t WATCH OUT for THESE major mistakes before you go!
EPCOT
The DFB Team has put our heads together to compile a COMPLETE list of what WE believe are the WORST mistakes you’ll wanna avoid in Disney World to make sure YOU never have to experience them firsthand yourself.Â
Being an Annual Passholder at Disney World allows you to go to the parks pretty much whenever you please!
Annual Pass
While there are different block-out dates for different passes, being an Annual Passholder provides you with more flexibility to visit all four Disney World theme parks! There are even a few special perks that Annual Passholders receive, like free parking at the parks, as well as discounts on dining and merchandise, but we’re worried that one of these perks could be quietly going away.
We’ve got a HUGE update on the 2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival!
It’s festival time!
Before we know it, it’ll be time to start gearing up for Food & Wine. We can’t wait! This summertime festival is the BIGGEST one of the year, bringing tons of food booths, a concert series, and all kinds of themed entertainment to the park. Disney has been keeping the full list of booths and menus a secret, but we just spotted a major update in the parks.
Since your Disney World trip is coming, there’s something we’ve got to talk about!
The Lion King Simba Magicband+
You know how we’re always making sure you’ve got the right essentials, so in that vein, if you love rocking a MagicBand+ at Disney World and Disneyland, there’s an upgrade that has forever changed how we wear ours that you’ve got to check out! It’s available on Amazon, right now, so let’s get right into it!
Us Disney World fans are often very jealous of Disneyland (which is why we’re often booking trips to the West Coast, too).
Disneyland
Not only does Disneyland have the BEST corndogs, churros, and snacks (we rate Disneyland #1 for food, by the way), but it also gets the BEST souvenirs. Now, granted, sometimes those souvenirs do make their way to Disney World, but sometimes that takes a while. That’s why we’re currently checking flights to Anaheim because Disney just dropped a look at a new souvenir that is a 100% MUST-HAVE.
We’re gearing up for one of the BIGGEST Disney events of the year!
D23
D23: The Ultimate Fan Event runs from August 9th-11th in Anaheim, California and it will be THE place to be for all the latest Disney news. The weekend-long convention has panels on a variety of Disney topics, including the highly-anticipated Disney Experiences Showcase, where we learn about all the new projects coming to the parks and Disney Cruise Line. So what is Disney going to announce this year? We think we’ve got a hint!
Alright, we realize that this isn’t exactly Disney food news, but when we spotted an article about a new lab-grown meat there was no way we could just ignore it.Â

In fact, once we saw the picture, we were invested. Also a bit scared…scratch that, a lot scared. But we needed to find out more about this mysterious pink Jell-O meat alternative.Â
