food IS a theme park
Who’s ready for the biggest event of the year at EPCOT?!
2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival
The International Food & Wine Festival runs from August 29th to November 23rd, 2024, and there is a LOT to eat. With dozens of food booths and multiple menu items at each, how do you choose what to add to your buy list on a one-day visit? Well, here at DFB, we’ve been going to the Food & Wine Festival for 15 years, and we have some things we buy EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
If you’re heading to Disney World for vacation, you may only be spending one day in each park.
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
While some people get the chance to stay longer and visit each park multiple times, many tourists aren’t getting that hefty of a schedule. And that can be a particular challenge when you’ve got a special limited-time event happening in the parks that you want to check out! So what happens when you go to EPCOT with only ONE day to conquer the International Food & Wine Festival?
We’re constantly on the lookout for NEW treats in Disney World!
Spaceship Earth
We see dozens (maybe hundreds) of new snacks in Disney World each year, and we endeavor to try out many of them. Sometimes we’re impressed and sometimes not as much, but we like to share those reviews with you guys either way, that way you can build your snack lists for your next vacation. And our newest must-try Disney World snacks? Well, they’re actually treats you can get at HOME!
There are lots of restaurants in Disney World, but there’s one that offers a unique experience!
Hoop Dee Doo
If you’re hoping to dine with an interactive dinner show filled with music, dancing, and over-the-top crowd participation, there’s really only one option for you — Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue! This spot is a fan-favorite at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort, and we stopped by recently to enjoy a meal there. Let’s talk about it!
From time to time, we see Disney rides get updates!
Disneyland
Many times, rides will close for refurbishment and just get general touch-ups and technology updates, but sometimes Disney takes that chance to change some scenes. (We saw this happen with rides like Jungle Cruise and Pirates of the Caribbean in the past!) Recently, Disney World made some interesting modifications to its version of Peter Pan’s Flight, and now it looks like that change will come to the West Coast as well.
Have you made your Park Pass Reservations for your next Disney World trip?
Disney World Annual Pass
If you’re heading to the parks with date-based tickets, you won’t need to reserve your dates in advance, but select groups are still required to make Park Passes. Among those groups are Disney World Annual Passholders, and if you’re a Passholder heading to the parks soon, we’ve got a warning for you!
If you’re a fan of Disney Cruise Line vacations, you’ve got a lot to look forward to in the coming years!

Four ships are already in the works, and then at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, Disney announced that four MORE are coming in the future — that means Disney will have a fleet of 13 ships! Right now, one of the new ships that we’re looking forward to is the Disney Adventure, which will set sail in 2025 and be based in Singapore. And today, Disney just dropped more information about the boat’s offerings!
It’s Halloween season in Disney World, and we’re eating a LOT of treats!
Mickey pumpkin wreath in Magic Kingdom
From snacks available during the daytime in the parks to treats from Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, we’ve been pretty busy with trying a LOT of special eats. And during a recent visit to Magic Kingdom, we added another to that list!
We’re not-so-patiently waiting for TWO new dining locations at one Disney World hotel!
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
Disney’s BoardWalk has been working on both The Cake Bake Shop and Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs for a while now, and we’ve been following the construction closely. Now, one of those locations has made significant progress!
After all the announcements at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, we’re gearing up for some BIG changes coming to Disney World.
Spaceship Earth
With additions like a Villains Land and a Monsters, Inc. Land on the horizon, there’s going to be quite a bit to explore in the future. Unfortunately, it’ll likely take some time for these projects to be completed. The good news is that one of Disney World’s big updates is already underway, and it’s set to open next year!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
