food IS a theme park
Some big hotel changes are coming to Disney World!
Disney’s Swan and Dolphin Resorts
We’re constantly seeing Disney Resorts get renovations, whether on rooms, the lobby, or restaurants. And recently, a BIG update was announced for the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin. The 3-hotel complex will be getting new convention center space, technological updates, and some renovated rooms!
In my four years working for Disney Food Blog, I’ve been to a LOT of hard-ticketed events.
2022 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
Some of those offerings were for work, while others were for fun (we DFB employees are die-hard Disney fans just like you guys!); some of them were in Disney World, while others were in Disneyland Resort (Disney Channel Nite was a BLAST, y’all). But the ones I’ve done the most are the Disney World holiday parties! I’ve been to all three of them at this point, and I’ve got some hot tips to share.
When it comes to merchandise for Disney fans, we’re the experts!

For the past several months, we’ve been keeping a close eye on potential storm systems heading for the United States.
Magic Kingdom entrance the day after Hurricane Milton
During hurricane season, the probability of storms is higher than at other times of year, and we’ve already seen a few major hurricanes that impacted the southern part of the country. But it seems that the season isn’t over yet, because the National Hurricane Center (NHC) is watching three different developing systems in the Atlantic.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom
If you’ve been following the Disney news, you know that DinoLand, U.S.A. is closing permanently to be transformed into a land inspired by the Tropical Americas.
