You might be on vacation during this holiday season, or just trying to squeeze in a few extra naps to catch up on some much-needed rest, but Disney news never takes a break!
Spaceship Earth

The Grey Stuff Cupcake
The end of the holiday season means that we have the bad news of having to say bye to our favorite holiday treats. But, the good news is we get to kick-off 2021 with the return of several favorites! We’ve welcomed back the Kakamora Float and the Wookie Cookie, and now it’s time to say “OMG we missed you,” to another beloved eat!
UPDATE: The Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover closure has been extended until January 30th, 2021.
Happy New Year, from the DFB team!
Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland
This month is bringing all sorts of updates to the theme parks. Park Hopping is making a comeback (in a totally new way) and the policies for free MagicBands and luggage tags are changing. As always, we want to keep you informed on all the major updates and how they might affect your trip. Those of you visiting Disney World next week will want to prepare by knowing what attractions are closed for refurbishment ahead of time. Let’s recap what rides will be closed between January 4th through January 10th, 2021! [Read more…]
It’s finally 2021, and we’re ready to celebrate!
Magic Kingdom
This year is a big year for Disney! Today, Park Hopping returns in Walt Disney World and MagicBands are no longer free for resort guests. Sometime this year, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and the TRON coaster will be opening to the public. Tons of movies and TV shows will be arriving on Disney+ this year as the company focuses more on streaming. And on top of all that, we’re kicking off the New Year with a special deal on shopDisney!
Today is the day of returning treats!
Wookie Oatmeal Cookie Sandwich
We’ve already shared our excitement about the return of the Kakamora Float in Magic Kingdom and now we’re bopping over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to be reunited with one of our favorite cookies in Disney World!
We come to you with a tale today — one of love, loss, reunion, loss again, and REUNION AGAIN. If you’ve been around DFB for the past year or so, you know that we have a total love affair with Magic Kingdom’s Kakamora Float at Aloha Isle.
Kakamora Float
This float debuted for the 2019 Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and we were SO delighted when it stuck around. It’s disappeared a few times, due to the park closures and once to make room for 2020’s holiday float. But we’re starting 2021 STRONG with the return of the Kakamora Float!
We’ve got BIG news for Florida-based Disney fans!
Magic Kingdom
You may remember that Florida residents have had access to a special ticket at select times of the year, called the Florida Resident Discover Ticket. This option gives Floridians BIG savings and flexibility when it comes to visiting Disney World parks on non-consecutive days. Now, that offer is BACK!
Happy New Year friends!
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
There are so many things to be excited about in Disney World in 2021 including the France Pavilion extension with Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and La Creperie de Paris, and the Moana-inspired makeover at Disney’s Polynesian Resort! Today, we’re taking a look at the 6 BIGGEST changes coming to Disney World resorts in 2021!
Well, we thought TOMORROW would be the day, but turn’s out, today’s the day! There’s been a BIG change to the way you’ll prep for your Disney vacation.

Last June, Disney announced that complimentary MagicBands would be discontinued in January 2021 in favor of expanded smart device capabilities. But we are STILL in December of 2020 and free MagicBands are now a thing of the past — at least if your trip starts in 2021!
