food IS a theme park
It’s the weekend, and that means we’ve got to talk about those Disney-themed items you’ve been eyeing!

We’ve rounded up some of the best Disney-themed items that are on sale on Amazon right now. But as always, these deals don’t last forever, so let’s dive in!
Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!
Magic Kingdom
Disney World’s Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind continued to see their new standby queues change the fabric of Disney World’s wait times. In fact, the latter Marvel attraction took the top spot this week, being the only Disney World ride to break the 80-minute barrier.
There are many ways to get to Disney World after you’ve finished planning your vacation. Although many Disney World visitors fly into Orlando International Airport, others choose to drive to the resort from their home or rent a car from the airport to drive to the resort.
Driving to Disney World?
Now, we’ve already talked about renting a car to drive around Disney World, as well as keeping you updated on what it’s like driving around the resort, as well as the parking situation. But according to NPR, there’s a scam you might need to know about if you ARE driving to Disney World, and it’s called “smishing.”
As much as I want to be calm, cool, and collected…I’m not. One day, I’m bouncing around all day in Disney World, jumping from place to place to cram in as much as possible. The next, I’m taking it slow and spending the whole day getting snacks and riding the PeopleMover. I’m getting out of line at the bus stop when I get impatient. I’m searching around for dining reservations on the My Disney Experience app constantly. To sum it up? Things can get a little chaotic inside my mind. It keeps things interesting, right?
Magic Kingdom
I hope I’m not alone here, but I have a confession: my chaotic brain has approved some risky decisions in Disney World. I may not be breaking any rules, but I have done some chaotic things with MagicBands in Disney World, and it’s time to tell my story. For all you Disney fans out there who are constantly running late to your next reservation, can’t keep track of the park hours to save your life, and go HARD on vacation, this one’s for YOU.
We finally know what is going on with the abandoned NBA Experience building in Disney Springs!
Future home of LEVEL99
In case you missed it, the former home of both DisneyQuest and the NBA Experience will soon be home to a new tenant, LEVEL99! Previously, a permit was filed for demolition of the building, but we are so happy to hear something new will be taking up residence. LEVEL99 is an interactive, social entertainment experience known for its challenge rooms, and the location at Disney Springs will be its fifth location and first in Florida.
We are so excited about this new addition that we went to another LEVEL99 location to try some of their menu items before their opening at Disney World!

Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin
Disney World is all about having and enjoying yourself, but it’s not without some competitive opportunities. Some rides like Magic Kingdom’s Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin pit riders against each other in pursuit of the high score and the coveted status of Galactic Hero. If you’re looking for tips to improve your score, you won’t want to miss this advice!
When sweet treat o’clock hits, we’re running to Disney’s BoardWalk Inn!
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
The BoardWalk has some of our favorite restaurants, like Trattoria al Forno and Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs, but it’s also home to some of the best cake slices on Disney property. Just a short walk from EPCOT is The Cake Bake Shop Bakery, but instead of trying cake, we decided to switch it up and try some PIE!
“Bags fly free…” That has been the slogan for Southwest Airlines for several decades, but that’s about to change in just a few short months.
Bags will no longer fly free
Southwest Airlines has been announcing a ton of changes to how it operates, including getting rid of its controversial open boarding process in exchange for assigned seating, offering premium seating options, and changing its rewards program. After Southwest announced that it would be getting rid of its “bags fly free” policy, though, the Internet has a LOT to say…and most of it isn’t pretty.
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!
Magic Kingdom
Epic Universe single-day tickets are on sale NOW, we got sneak peeks at NEW ride technology coming to Disney theme parks and MORE!
Alright, Disney World — we have some notes.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is home to some incredible — and wildly popular — attractions, including the Slinky Dog Dash family coaster. Featuring a few launches to entice thrill-seekers but no big drops or inversions, this coaster is a fan-favorite (and its Toy Story theming is top-notch). However, we do have some minor complaints and suggestions on how to make the ride even better.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
