food IS a theme park
When we spot a great Disney World deal, we do not gatekeep.
Disney’s All Star Sports Resort
That’s because we want to help you have the best Disney World trip you can have on YOUR budget, and we’re all about saving some extra $$$ (because, hey, that’s more money for Disney FOOD, right?). Well, we just spotted an amazing deal you may qualify for — and it can get you a Disney World hotel room for less than $100 per night. REALLY!
Disney World and Universal Orlando aren’t the only things making big changes this year.
MCO Airport
Even Orlando International Airport is getting some updates. A new parking guidance system is on the way, Terminal C is getting an expansion, and new shops and restaurants are coming to the airport soon. We previously got a list of new restaurants coming to the airport, but now Orlando International Airport has shared new concept art showcasing those new restaurants PLUS concept art of some new shops.
Are you headed to Disneyland in May?
Disneyland
It’s going to be a great time to visit the West Coast. You’ll have nice weather before things get too hot (maybe, depending on the weather’s mood), the 70th Anniversary Celebration (and we’re guessing some AMAZING 70th anniversary snacks) to look forward to, and all kinds of NEW and returning things to mark the occasion. So we’ve got all the major changes you’ll get to see if you’re visiting Disneyland in May 2025!
May the Force Be With You, DFB Friends!
Star Wars Nite guide and Badge
It is officially Season of the Force in Disneyland, and we’ve been enjoying all kinds of special entertainment, activities, and — more importantly — food. Well, we’ve also now been to the first EVER Star Wars Nite of the year, and that means we also got to try out some food EXCLUSIVE to that party. So let’s chat about it!
Okay, Star Wars fans, we hope you’re sitting down, because April and May are the two months out of the year that are now dedicated to all things from the galaxy far, far away.
Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge
Not only has Season of the Force started in Disneyland (with some amazing food and merchandise), but Star Wars Nite has also started and May the 4th is just around the corner. However, another BIG Star Wars event is happening from April 18th through April 20th…and we’re expecting some pretty big Star Wars reveals and news.
A BIG celebration is coming to Disneyland soon.

Disneyland will be celebrating its 70th Anniversary this year, and the resort is planning on throwing a BIG party. This means the return of a popular nighttime parade, as well as special merchandise, new outfits for characters, new entertainment, and SO MUCH MORE. However, if you wear a MagicBand+ to Disneyland during the celebration, you might discover it’s a little EXTRA.
Well, we’ve finally checked out Epic Universe…and, well, all we have to say is that it lives up to its “Epic” name. We spent so much time in Epic Universe with our jaws on the floor, y’all…you have no idea.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic
We still can’t get over how it felt like stepping into the movie when we visited How To Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk or what it felt like meeting Toothless IN THE FLESH. We also loved the darker vibes of Dark Universe and still can’t get over all the amazing details in Monsters Unchained. We almost cried stepping into The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic, especially after riding Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry, but there was one thing that bugged us about this land…let’s talk about it.
Happy April, DFB Readers! It’s hard to believe that March went by so quickly, but here we are.
Garden Grill Harvest Feast Platter
This week was a BIG one in Disney World, at least for food. Not only did Gideon’s Bakehouse announce a new menu, BUT we got eight new food and drinks at Disney’s Pop Century Resort (and yes, be looking for those reviews coming soon). However, those aren’t the only restaurant changes we spotted in Disney World this week. We’ve also got some other restaurant menu updates to tell you about.
Well, it finally happened. We got to go INSIDE Epic Universe and share that experience with you. Yes, our jaws have been dropping non-stop all weekend (and yes, there were some tears of joy, too), and we’re not done yet telling you all about it.
Toothless and Hiccup!
Now that we’ve visited all five lands in Epic Universe, we’re coming in with our takes, and we’ll admit that a lot of things surprised us (those big lockers at Monsters Unchained, for example). But the best news that came out of our visit might surprise you, so let’s get into it.
Let’s just say this weekend has been…EPIC.
We finally got a chance to explore Universal Orlando’s new theme park, Epic Universe. We’ve been running all over Super Nintendo World, as well as How To Train Your Dragon — Isle of Berk, Celestial Park, and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter — Ministry of Magic. We also got to get our first really good look at Dark Universe, including the INCREDIBLE Monsters Unchained ride. Well, there was something about that ride that REALLY impressed us that we haven’t talked about yet: the lockers.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
