Hi, All! If you're looking for information related to the current closures and their effect on the Disney Parks, click here for all the up-to-date details and click here for answers to dozens of reader FAQs. Here at DFB our thoughts are with all who have been affected. While the parks are closed, we will continue reporting and writing articles our readers will need and use once the parks reopen. Thank you for your support.
It kinda goes without saying by this point. Some folks are finding themselves with A LOT more free time while others are trying to balance working from home with kiddos who are growing more restless by the second!

What age is this made for? Is it elementary school age?
Joy, there’s no grade level assigned to it. I would say upper-elementary can go through it alone while younger elementary would need some assistance. Older kids might like it, too!
