food IS a theme park
Everyone’s been talking so much about Epic Universe, you probably haven’t noticed this new souvenir at Universal Orlando!

We stopped by Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure and noticed a NEW refillable mug design available for purchase NOW! [Read more…]
A BRAND-NEW restaurant is coming to Disney World later this year.
Swan and Dolphin Hotel
In the spring of 2025, Disney confirmed that the Dolphin Resort’s Shula’s Steakhouse – – named for famous Miami Dolphins coach Don Shula – – would be closing in June to make way for a new dining experience: Bourbon Steak.
BIG things are happening in Disney World, which means we’re getting ready for a lot of change.
Hollywood Studios
We’re already seeing big changes in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, as parts of DinoLand U.S.A. have closed to start making way for Pueblo Esperanza, a Tropical Americas-themed land. Magic Kingdom will soon be closing Tom Sawyer Island and Rivers of America to make way for a new Cars expansion in Frontierland. In Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Muppets Courtyard will be closing soon to make way for a new Monsters, Inc. land. That means that everything IN Muppets Courtyard will also close, including one iconic restaurant.
It’s the dawn of a new day for theme parks. With technology advancing and parks expanding, it’s no wonder many people are so interested in themed entertainment.

Universal’s brand-new theme park, Epic Universe, is about to open and is already getting rave reviews, and the company has also announced plans to build new theme parks in the United Kingdom and Frisco, Texas. But, Frisco isn’t the only city in Texas that might be getting a new theme park…
Magic Kingdom is a park full of whimsy, iconic attractions, and hundreds of souvenirs that are so tempting. But honestly, you might regret buying some of them almost immediately.
Let’s go shopping!
We’re in the parks almost every single day, and we’ve both seen people buy things they’ve regretted immediately and also bought things ourselves that we wish we had never done. We asked our team for some stories of the times they made an impulse purchase they shook their heads at later, so learn from our mistakes — don’t do this on your trip!
Epic Universe, Universal Orlando’s newest theme park, is opening in less than a month (!!!), and we’ve been collecting all the details for you so you can have the most epic day ever (pun intended).
Epic Universe
Universal just dropped a MAJOR detail we’ve been anxiously awaiting for the first day of opening — and beyond!
Here at DFB, we know a thing or two about Disney World. And, I personally happen to know a thing or two about drinking at EPCOT. In fact, it’s one of my favorite things to do.
EPCOT
Some might consider me the resident expert on imbibing here at DFB (okay, or maybe I’m just the loudest about it), which is why I feel particularly qualified to tell you about the latest problem plaguing EPCOT — barflies. One World Showcase pavilion tends to attract them more than most, and we need to talk about it.
We have been to Universal Orlando’s new theme park Epic Universe and we LOVED IT. Okay, so it does live up to the Epic name, but what about the food? Because you KNOW we’re all about the food.
Epic Universe
We recently stopped by Pizza Moon in Celestial Park to check out the vibes, as well as the food, so come with us while we dine over the (pizza) moon.
Hey Disney fans, we’ve got some more brand-new Loungeflys for you!
