food IS a theme park
According to USA Today, Delta Air Lines is cutting some flights this summer to adjust to the high cost of fuel.

Delta says its decision was based on a number of operational factors and did not specify fuel, but many airlines have been working to boost revenue and trim expenses amid surging fuel prices.
As a former Disney World Cast Member, I’ve learned that while Lightning Lanes can save you time, it’s not always worth the cost.

If you are planning a trip to Disney World, you might think that skipping the lines by purchasing Lightning Lane is an automatic yes. But as someone who used to work in the parks, I can tell you that is not always true. Before you hit that purchase button before your next vacation, here are five reasons Lightning Lane might not be worth it for you.

Kids really say (and do!) the darndest things, don’t they?!

After a recent trip to Disney World with my sister and her family, one of my nieces, Harper, was reminiscing about her time at the Most Magical Place on Earth the best way a 7-year-old knows how — by drawing it. Her drawing was so adorable that I shared it with the entire DFB team, and we all couldn’t help but think about how hilariously accurate it was. This girl is going places, man.
We’re sharing the top tips we picked up from our recent trip to Universal Studios Singapore!
Universal Studios Singapore
We’ve been doing a LOT of traveling lately, with trips to Singapore for the maiden voyage of the Disney Adventure, Disneyland Paris for the Adventure World expansion, and the fantasy-themed Efteling park in the Netherlands, all in the books! We also visited Universal Studios Singapore while we were in the neighborhood, and now we’re reporting back with the tips we learned from our experience!
It’s like everywhere you turn in Disney World, you’re going to run into construction of some kind. Now, construction can be a little annoying, but it can also mean good things are on the way. For example, Magic Kingdom is building a new land and an expansion. Disney’s Animal Kingdom is building a new land. Disney’s Hollywood Studios is building a new land and reimagining another one.
Wailulu Bar & Grill!
Yep, there’s a lot of construction happening, but at least Disney gives us a heads up when construction is on the way. That’s why we’re warning you about some construction coming to a Disney World hotel restaurant.
We don’t want to come off as dramatic, but…when will we get a break from all the closures happening at Disney World?!
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
While we will be seeing stuff reopen at the Disney World parks very soon, it feels like a ton of Disney World Resort hotels have been getting hit with closures and refurbishments lately. If you have a trip coming up, and you’re thinking about staying at the Art of Animation, you may want to be aware of a tiny closure at the hotel.
There are a few big things we’d tell you to put on your must-do list in Disney World, and among them is a very popular nighttime show.
Fantasmic!
Fantasmic is a half-hour nighttime spectacular in Disney’s Hollywood Studios where you actually get to sit down (hallelujah — that’s rare for Disney World nighttime shows!) and watch a show full of Disney magic, fan-favorite characters, water effects, projections, and pyrotechnics. Seriously, it’s a highlight of any Disney trip! And if you’re hoping to see it on your upcoming vacation, you need to know that the showtimes are changing.
