food IS a theme park
Well, we thought TOMORROW would be the day, but turn’s out, today’s the day! There’s been a BIG change to the way you’ll prep for your Disney vacation.

Last June, Disney announced that complimentary MagicBands would be discontinued in January 2021 in favor of expanded smart device capabilities. But we are STILL in December of 2020 and free MagicBands are now a thing of the past — at least if your trip starts in 2021!
Disneyland has remained closed since March of this year, and it isn’t expected to reopen soon.
Buena Vista Street
With strict theme park guidelines from the California government and limited ICU availability in the state, Disneyland has been forced to keep its doors closed for months now. Midway through this closure, the resort got a new President. Take a look at his comments on taking up the mantle in one of the most challenging periods in Disneyland’s history.
Bye 2020 and hellooooo 2021!
Saratoga Springs
There’s no surprise here but we are spending the final days of the year reporting from Disney World to bring you all the important updates. Yesterday, we took a stroll around Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa to get in the loop on all the news. Check out the latest in food, construction, and merchandise!
We’ve seen the crowds at Disney World get a little bigger over the past few months, and we now know that capacity at the parks increased to 35 percent just before the holidays.
Magic Kingdom
But how does that compare to New Year’s Eve’s past? Say 2019? Well, we dug into our photo archives to compare, and BOY, things are CRAZY different (we already knew that but seeing pics really puts it into perspective).
We’re kissing 2020 goodbye at Disney World today! It’s been a long year and we’re ready to move forward into 2021.
Cinderella Castle
Disney World is celebrating New Year’s Eve a little differently this year. The theme parks are closing before midnight for health and safety reasons. Guests are encouraged to ring in the new year from their resort where Disney will host special activities tonight. We’re heading into the parks to see what the crowds, wait times, and the overall vibe is like.Â
The world is still contending with the global health crisis as 2020 comes to a close.

Florida has seen over one million total COVID-19 cases since the start of the pandemic, and now, the state has reported the highest number of daily COVID-19 cases on record.
Happy New Year’s Eve from Disney’s Hollywood Studios!!!

We took a walk around the park to see if we could spot anything new. So, let’s take a look!
It’s the last day of 2020 and the last day of Disney’s official Christmas season!
Hollywood Studios Christmas Decorations
There are lots of decorations still posted around Disney World, but we did notice some signs of the holiday season ending today in Disney World. Take a look at the spots where Christmas is disappearing!
Welcome, foolish mortals… .
Haunted Mansion
We’re your ghost hosts, and although we’ve already told you about new Haunted Mansion clothing, a Haunted Mansion pillowcase set, and a Haunted Mansion fan, we just found another AWESOME piece of Haunted Mansion merch that just materialized at Disney World!
Happy New Year, DFB Friends! It’s the end of the year and the beginning of a new one, and you know what that means… .
