Hey there, DFB fam! We’re back at Disney’s Animal Kingdom with some new updates.
We’ve got some new merchandise and some changes in the park, so let’s get right into it!
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary is still happening in the parks!
Although holiday decorations are starting to take over, you can still find lots of ways to celebrate the 50th. We recently had a new 50th-themed snack, we’re still enjoying new shows like Enchantment and Harmonious, and there are plenty of options for themed merchandise online and in the gift shops. We’ve even seen NEW merchandise coming out for the celebration, including one item that we bet will sell out fast! [Read more…]
There are SO many pasta options in Disney World. (Hey, we’re not complaining! Bring on the noodle-y goodness!)
But what are our FAVORITE plates of pasta on Disney World property? Glad you asked! Let’s talk about them NOW! *WARNING* You’re gonna want pasta after this. In fact, after we finish up this post, we’re gonna go make a big pot of spaghetti while we daydream about some of the items on this list.
There’s usually no shortage of construction projects going on around Walt Disney World.
Whether it’s a quick refurbishment to an outdoor dining area, some new paint, or even a brand new attraction, you’ll likely stumble upon a construction wall or two when you’re visiting the parks and resorts. But, here at DFB, we keep you updated on all the progress going on so that there are no surprises when you arrive. And, this week we’ve got a look at the refurbishments on a fan-favorite Magic Kingdom attraction, a demolished ride, and more — let’s get to it!
Hello, DFB Readers!

The holiday treats have arrived!
As you may have seen, the holidays have landed at Disney World, and we are up to our ears in holiday decorations, merchandise, and snacks! But while we’re checking out all the new holiday offerings, we’re also keeping an eye on menus at Disney World restaurants because that’s what we do!
Whether you’re heading into Disney World soon or just like to keep up with the latest updates, we’ve got all the news for changes happening inside the parks and hotels.
Disney World sometimes will close a ride, restaurant, or attraction for technical reasons, weather, or scheduled maintenance. Let’s take a look at what’s scheduled to be closed in Disney World this coming week so that you’re aware of what’s not available during your trip. [Read more…]
Hello from Walt Disney World!
There was a LOT that happened at Disney World this week! It was the first night of Disney Very Merriest After Hours holiday party, more holiday treats came out and decorations went up, and it was Disney+ Day! So, how did that affect the crowds? We like to gauge that by looking at how long lines were in the parks, so here’s a look at all the average wait times in Disney World from this week.
Happy Holidays from Disney’s Animal Kingdom! The festive season has arrived in Disney World’s youngest theme park and we’re loving it (especially the return of the Merry Menagerie puppets — so cute!).

The Merry Menagerie!
Today, we’ve got a special treat for you: we’re taking a look at some of the first holiday projections of the season on Animal Kingdom’s icon, the Tree of Life!
It’s officially the holiday season in Disney World!
We went to the first Disney Very Merry After Hours this week, saw the iconic gingerbread house go up in the Grand Floridian, found new decorations in the parks, and tried more festive food. The other night, we saw Santa at Disney Very Merriest After Hours in Magic Kingdom, and today, we spotted him at a couple of the other parks!
