food IS a theme park
If you’ve been going to the Disney parks for a while, you know that refurbishments happen frequently!
Disneyland Park
It’s not uncommon to have a few rides closed for short periods while they get technical updates or to see a building covered in construction walls while the paint gets touched up. It’s how they keep things fresh and new! But now, we’ve got an update about a closed store…and it might not be good news if you’re a big fan.
It can be SO hard to choose what shows to watch these days!

With the variety of streaming services out there, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with all the movie and TV show options. And coming soon, Disney is changing up some of its offerings…so here’s what you need to know!
There’s a tiny town filled with chaos in Disney World, and we’re keeping it in check!
Wild things are going on!
If you’ve been hanging around here at DFB recently, then you’ve probably seen our posts about all the shenanigans going on in the tiny train village in EPCOT’s Germany Pavilion. This itty bitty city has suffered everything from werewolf attacks to giant lizards to mass murders. It’s anarchy! But we simply can’t stay away…so come with us to see what happened this week.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park has made some big changes recently, specifically when it comes to characters!
Animal Kingdom
Russell and Dug from Up recently got their old meet-and-greet back in Discovery Island, and just a few days ago, Pocahontas, Goofy, and Pluto started meeting in the park again as well. However, with the return of all these character meet and greets, we’ve been mourning the loss of the old character flotillas that sailed the Discovery River. Because of all these changes, Animal Kingdom had to update its park map for the first time in over a YEAR!
We’re about to get a NEW ride in Magic Kingdom!

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure has been under construction for a while now, taking over the old home of Splash Mountain, and the opening date for the new ride is looming closer! We’ve been eager to check it out with the new animatronics, new storyline, and fun details, but before it opens, we’ve got some important details to share.
If there’s ONE accessory we recommend you bring to Disney World, it’s a water bottle!
Water bottles for days!
Water bottles can be an absolute lifesaver in the parks, especially in the summer. Sure, you can get free cups of ice water at quick service restaurants, but you don’t want to keep stopping to get those when you can just fill up your bottle and go! That’s why we’re rounding up our picks for the BEST water bottles for Disney World. Let’s dive in.
It’s no secret that some of the best restaurants in Disney World are NOT in the parks!
The Polynesian Village Resort
There are several restaurants run by James Beard Award-winning chefs in Disney Springs, and many of the dining locations at the hotels are absolutely spectacular. Recently, I got the chance to visit one of those beloved Disney World hotel restaurants, but not for the meal you’d think! And now, I’m bringing you my full review.
Hi, I’m Lydia. I eat a LOT of Disney World food. Like, more Disney food in a couple months than most people will eat in a lifetime. Why? Because I’m a DFB reporter!
Cinderella Castle
It’s part of my job to try new Disney World snacks and do full-scale reviews of Disney World restaurants. But besides all of that, I’m also in the parks several days a week, and a girl’s gotta eat lunch! To add variety and to expand my Disney food palette, I set a challenge for myself — to eat at every quick service restaurant in Disney World.
The Walt Disney Company just dropped a bunch of news.
Disney California Adventure
Each quarter, the company releases an earnings report and then hosts an earnings call to review the numbers and answer pressing questions. We typically learn quite a bit of information from these calls, and after the 2024 Q2 earnings results were released, we have some predictions about changes coming soon to Disneyland Resort.
I’m a Disney World reporter, and whenever I say that, people have a LOT of questions!

It’s a pretty rare job, and so friends, family members, and strangers are often curious about what it is that I actually do on a workday. Me and my reporter teammates get asked many of the same questions over and over again, so I’m coming clean today! I’m here to answer the most popular questions about my job.
