50th Anniversary Display in Disney Springs
This week, Disney dropped quite a few new merchandise items online, with everything from holiday products to 50th Anniversary collectibles. And we’ve got the full list to share with you!
For quite a while now, we’ve been sharing updates on the Brightline train that’s coming to Central Florida!

Eventually, the train will have a station at Disney Springs and will feature a line directly from the Orlando Airport. But first, Brightline is constructing the other railway lines, and recently the first train that will service Central Florida has arrived!
Here at DFB, we know that our readers are usually big fans of Disney-themed or historically significant houses.

In the past, we’ve shared looks at storybook cottages, castles fit for a queen, and even a peek inside Disney CEO Bob Chapek’s own mansion. But today, we have some photos of an extra special house to share — a house that Walt Disney himself lived in!
2021 was a BIG year for Disney World!
Disney World just turned 50!
We’ve seen changing health and safety measures, new restaurants, new rides, and the start of the 50th Anniversary celebration. But even with all that, 2022 is going to be pretty big as well! Here’s everything we know that’s coming to Disney World in 2022.
EDITOR’S NOTE: We continually updated this post throughout 2022 as openings took place and new experiences were announced. If you’re looking for IMPORTANT DATES to know for 2023, CLICK HERE!
Over the years, we’ve seen Disney create some pretty scary things.
Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride is STILL scaring guests in Disneyland!
ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter at Magic Kingdom was nightmare-inducing, and Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride is still making children cry at Disneyland to this day. And Disney movies like The Black Cauldron, Don’t Look Under the Bed, and Mr. Boogedy are definitely “one-and-done” for us…even as adults. But today, we have something new to add to our growing list of not-so-irrational Disney fears — some new jewelry on shopDisney!
Have you ever been on a Disney Cruise?

Disney offers sailings to a variety of destinations throughout the year, as well as special themed voyages for Halloween and Christmas. And next year, we’re even getting a brand-new cruise ship in the lineup — the Disney Wish! If you’re debating on taking a Disney Cruise in the next few years, then you’ll definitely want to check out the new sailing dates that dropped today.
There are some merchandise items in Disney World that just seem to be EXTRA popular.
Starbucks cups are incredibly popular in the parks!
Special collections, limited edition offerings, or even things as simple as Minnie ears. One that tends to FLY off the shelves is Starbucks tumblers — and today there’s a brand-new design available!
UPDATE: The Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade will not be closing for a month, the Disney World website has been updated with info showing that the attraction will be open for the foreseeable future.
The Disney World website can be a valuable tool for planning your vacation.
Make sure to use the website when planning your trip!
Here you’ll find park hours, showtimes, restaurant menus, and so much more. The site also keeps a running list of attractions that are under refurbishment, so that you know what will be closed during your trip. And today, we noticed a mysterious closure coming soon…but it’s not listed on the refurb calendar!
We’re in the middle of prime spooky season, just a few weeks away from Halloween! But, that doesn’t mean that we can’t start prepping for Christmas and the holidays…at least according to Disney.
The holidays are coming soon!
They’ve already started dropping holiday merchandise online and sharing the happenings in the parks for the season, but now, there’s a new pair of holiday Minnie ears!
Our reporters here at DFB are hard-working people! They’re in the parks every day of the week to bring the latest news, braving the heat, the crowds, and the general chaos of Disney World.
It was quite the week!
This past week, our Disney warriors hit the parks for the 50th Anniversary, phones charged, cameras ready, and reusable utensils on standby — ready to try what seemed like a million snacks and share photos of all the news. And let us just tell you, it was NOT a normal Friday. Some pretty funny things happened to our DFB reporters last week!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
