food IS a theme park
Earlier this week, we got some massive Disney news — Josh D’Amaro is about to become the new CEO of the company.

D’Amaro will take over the role on March 18th, 2026, which is much sooner than was originally anticipated based on Bob Iger’s contract. But with this change, Iger will get the chance to pull back from the company he’s been with for decades. So what’s next for Bob Iger?
There’s one Disney World hotel that is a hot commodity right now!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa has been through a major transition phase these past few years. With new dining, some updated rooms, and changes to the lobby, there’s a lot to experience here. So, should you join the trend and book a stay here? Let’s dive into some of the big updates.
It’s almost time for the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, which is, personally, my FAVORITE festival of the year.
EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival
This year, the festival is happening from March 4th through June 1st, so you’ll have three months of stunning foliage and garden-inspired eats to explore. But if you’re going for the first time (or even the 50th!), I’m here to share a few things I wish I’d known before going to this festival.
I go to Disney World for my job, and I’ve tried a LOT of water bottles throughout my hundreds of visits.
Rapunzel Owala
I’ve tried plastic and metal, screw-top and straw tumblers, insulated and even just Dasani purchased from a gift shop in the parks. But my coworkers finally convinced me to try a DFB fave, and now I’m influenced for life!
In 2025, our team reviewed over 100 restaurants in Disney World!
Our meal at Cinderella’s Royal Table
Everything from character meals to pool bars to snack stands to signature dining was on our review list, and we had some incredibly memorable experiences eating our way around Disney World. But along the way, we also learned some important tips and lessons — today we’re here to share them with you!
Disney food festivals are our bread and butter here at DFB, and we’re back with ANOTHA ONE! It’s time for the Lunar New Year Festival at Disney California Adventure at Disneyland Resort.
Bamboo Blessings
As part of our reviews for this year’s event, we stopped by Bamboo Blessings to check out the menu. Time to take a look at what’s new, what’s returning, and what’s a must-get in 2026. Let’s go!
With over 400 restaurants across the Disney World property, some of them are bound to be seriously underrated.
Peanut Butter Pie
For the past few years, I’ve personally found Boatwright’s Dining Hall to be on that list! I’ve been there for work, and I’ve been there for fun, and every visit has been delightful, cozy, and relaxed. But recently, they changed their menu pretty significantly… so you know we had to stop by!
While Disney World certainly benefits from the “blessing of size,” as Walt Disney famously put it, the size of the property can certainly make getting around a pain. After all, Disney World’s land mass is literally the size of San Francisco, and that means that it can take you a WHILE to hop from one place to another, whether you’re heading to the parks, hotels, Disney Springs, or anywhere else using Disney’s transportation infrastructure.
Everyone on?
Of Disney’s transportation options, bus transportation is often the simplest solution to getting around the parks, but just sitting around and waiting for those buses is a nuisance! Good thing we’ve got a hack to help you improve that wait!
Not to be weird, but I spend a lot of my time in Disney World bathrooms.
Tree of Life
When you visit the parks for your job, you’ll inevitably be exposed to a wide variety of public restroom experiences. I’ve been in pristine, clean bathrooms where I could nearly see my reflection in the floor, and I’ve been in bathrooms strewn with toilet paper and plagued by clogged pipes. Not all Disney World restrooms are created equal, that’s for sure. And recently, I took note of a very awkward toilet trouble that I’m hoping Disney fixes in its new land.
I go to Disney World for my job, and I have STRONG opinions about where to park at Disney Springs.
Disney Springs!
There are several options — honestly, more than you think — and it can be a difficult choice if you don’t know the ins and outs of the different locations. So today, I’m breaking down all the parking garages (and parking lots!) to help you decide where to pitch camp when you visit.
