food IS a theme park
With so many Disney World restaurants to choose from, which options do we here at DFB believe are truly, 100%, absolutely-positively the BEST of the BEST?
There’s so much to explore!
It’s a loaded question for sure, but I THINK we’ve found the solution for narrowing it down to our MOST RECOMMENDED dining spots EVER.
Winners are about to become LOSERS in Magic Kingdom.
Cinderella Castle
What’s better than absolutely throwing down competition-style with your family while you’re on vacation? Forget keeping the peace, we want to BATTLE! If that’s your style, there are two different rides in Disney World that allow you to score points and duke it out with your loved ones, and the Magic Kingdom attraction is about to get some big changes.
A Disney World ride is working its way to reopening!
Tomorrowland!
Magic Kingdom’s Astro Orbiter has been closed since January 2025, but new permits filed with the Orange County Comptroller might indicate the ride’s reopening. The new permit details work involving “labor, materials, and/or electrical for construction.”
When you go to Disney World, we’re sure you’re making plans for your visit to the theme parks (and maybe even the water parks, too, since that IS a Disney World hotel perk now). You might not even be THINKING about the things you can do at your hotel, though.
The Chuck Wagon
See, here’s the deal: Disney World hotels have activities of their own, and some of them are SO worth your time. One of those activities involves making S’mores — and nearly every hotel offers this, but we just got the S’mores Kit at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground from The Chuck Wagon, and it’s the only way we want to end our Disney World evenings from now on.
There are two water parks in Disney World, and they’re VERY different.
Typhoon Lagoon Water Park
They’ve got different themes, different rides, different eats, and sometimes they’ve even been open on different schedules. But if you’re only coming to Disney World for a few days and you have to pick one park to go to, which should you choose? We’re breaking down Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon so you know exactly where you should spend your time!
Epic Universe is SO close to opening; we can taste it! Well, actually, we were recently lucky enough to visit Epic Universe and see all the lands and ride some rides ahead of its opening.
Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry
Now, one ride in particular, Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry, left our jaw on the floor, and we’re pretty sure it’s going to be the most popular ride in the whole park — it even has a queue that can hold up to several hours’ worth of guests. Well, a 10-hour wait for a ride is impossible for a lot of folks, so will there be a solution? During a recent visit to the park, we noticed that a virtual queue has been put in place during Team Member previews, so most visitors won’t have to stand in line for hours to get a ride on the new attraction during this soft-opening phase.
If you’re planning a Disney World vacation with little ones, you’re probably trying to plan how you’re going about strollers!
Disney World Strollers
Disney World has some rules for pushing your little ones around the park, but we found four items that Cast Members approve to make strollers a little easier for you!
It’s the middle of April in Disney World and spring is officially here and, before we know it, it will be summer.
Wookiee Cookie
We’ve spent some time with some new snacks this week, though, including our new favorite pretzel snack in EPCOT, some new menu items at Sci Fi Dine-In at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and more. We’re also excited about the news that a NEW celebrity chef-owned restaurant is coming soon. We also noticed some menu changes to other Disney World restaurants, so let’s take a look at those.
Getting sick at Disney World is a very real possibility — and absolutely no one wants to spend their park day sniffling through Space Mountain or crashing early with a fever.
Magic Kingdom
Between the crowds, the germs, and the Florida heat, there’s a lot working against your immune system when you visit the Most Magical Place on Earth. So today, we’re laying down the eight rules we personally follow to avoid getting sick at Disney World. A few of these might seem over-the-top… until they save your trip. Let’s get into it.
