food IS a theme park
Disney World is going through a lot of change, which means Lightning Lane will be changing with it!

If you’ve been keeping up with all the Disney World news lately, then you’ve noticed how much change Disney World is going through — and it’s not slowing down! In case you missed some of the recent news, we’re going to lay it out for you and tell you why there will be Lightning Lane changes coming soon.
You know when you go shopping and you find something SO good that you have to call your best friend and your mom to tell them about it?!
Main Street, U.S.A.
Well, I have an item like that and knew that I just had to share it with all of you because it’s TOO GOOD to keep to myself.
Okay, where are our Bath & Body Works people at? We know you love those amazing scents and products, especially when the company releases a Disney line (we all went nuts over the Disney Princesses collection).
Well, you know we were already excited when we got a sneak peek at the new Bath & Body Works Disney Villains collection ahead of its release. The new collection stars the Evil Queen and Maleficent, and you can now get it at your local Bath & Body Works, as well as IN STORES RIGHT NOW.
Disney just released a NEW look behind the scenes at their annual Halloween Extravaganza!
Boo To You! parade
With the ever-popular Boo-To-You Parade having returned for the annual Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Disney has released a new clip of some of the parade’s performers on one of their official social media channels.
For many guests, there’s only one question that matters at Disney World: “How can I skip this line?”
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure queue
For decades, Disney has been coming up with ways to satisfy guests who don’t want to wait in line. From the original version of FastPass to interactive game queues to virtual waiting areas and everything in between, the company has seemingly tried it all. And yet, in my 6+ years of writing about Disney theme parks, the #1 topic many potential guests want to know about is how they can avoid waiting. Currently, there are a few ways to do so at Walt Disney World.
It is officially fall time at ALDI! ALDI recently released its ALDI Finds for September 10th through September 16th, and we spotted LOTS of Halloween and fall-related items. Plus, there are also some fun Disney-themed items for your kiddos!
ALDI
We are already scheduling a day to stop by ALDI next week, because there are some great deals and awesome finds. Let’s take a look at some of the items available next week at ALDI!
You know what we love to do? We love to eat! It makes sense, being that “Food” is our middle name. We also love checking out new Disney World dining spots, as well as revisiting old favorites (and y’all, the list of our favorites is long).
Mickey waffle with fried chicken? Yes, please!
Speaking of revisiting old faves, the Grand Floridian Cafe at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is often underrated, but we just popped in to have some brunch there because it’s been a hot minute since we had our beloved Buttermilk-fried Chicken and Waffle.
Disney World is constantly changing, and sometimes that means saying goodbye to beloved restaurants.
Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano
We’ve seen our fair share of dining spots close over the years, but some sting a little more than others. Whether it’s a fan-favorite dinner show, a go-to sports bar, or a solid table service option, these closures have left a noticeable gap in Disney dining. But with every ending comes a new beginning, and some of these closures have paved the way for exciting new additions. Let’s talk about some Disney World restaurants that have permanently closed, and what, if anything, has taken their place.
We’re just recovering from Destination D23, which was recently held at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort in Disney World. These events are the biggest Disney fan events of the year, and we always get a lot of announcements about Disney movies, parks, and more.

At Destination D23, Disney announced that the next big fan event, D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Experience, would be held August 14th-16th in Anaheim, CA. However, there’s going to be one BIG change at next year’s event: vendors and collectors will not be offered spaces at the event.
Are you a fan of Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (who isn’t?!)? We found just the thing for you!
Stormtroopers in Rise of the Resistance
Here at DFB, we’re definitely Star Wars crazy and can’t get enough — especially when it comes to great Star Wars merch! If you’re looking for that perfect shirt to show off while riding Rise of the Resistance or simply when you’re out and about, Amazon has some options that will make even the grumpiest Sith Lords super happy!
