Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
If so, in case you haven’t already heard, you’ll need to know that a fan-favorite Disney’s Hollywood Studios attraction will be closed for refurbishment — tomorrow!

Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Let’s check out all the temporary closures and refurbishments that will affect Disney World from January 7th through the 13th.
Ahhh…the holiday season is finally over in Disney World and you have room to breathe again in the parks, right? WRONG.
Recent crowds
Despite lower Genie+ prices, Disney World has actually gotten busier after the holidays according to the wait times! We’ve seen some astronomically high wait times this week and park passes have been selling out. Which rides should you watch out for? That’s what we’re going to look at today!
Are you planning a trip to Disney World in 2024?
TRON Lighting Lane
You’re probably trying to work up your budget if you are, and that might include the price of Genie+ (which is hard to predict because of its surge pricing). You might even have some rides on your priority list that you’re willing to pay EXTRA for with the Individual Lightning Lane. But which rides will even have Individual Lightning Lane in 2024? Here’s what we know.
Disney World is no stranger to menu changes but this latest one really surprised us.

Just within the past few months, Disney World has made TONS of changes to menus all over their parks and hotels, but now it seems like the latest change has affected even one of the NEWEST restaurants.

Buying a Disney Dining Plan is basically a way to pre-pay for all of your food for your Disney World vacation. You pay for the plan upfront and then get a certain number of credits to use at Disney World restaurants and snack stands. But watch out — not ALL restaurants on Disney World property accept the Dining Plan credits! To help you prepare for your trip and decide whether buying a Dining Plan is worth it for you, here’s a full list of all the table service restaurants that accept the Disney Dining Plan. [Read more…]
Are you ready to say goodbye to your favorite Starbucks drinks in Disney World?
Starbucks in Animal Kingdom
Well, it comes with the territory because some of those faves are only seasonal, meaning you can only get them at certain times of the year. We’re mourning the loss of those beloved fall drinks, like the Pumpkin Spice Latte and the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew. We’re also saying goodbye to those holiday drinks we love. But it’s okay — because new drinks have taken their place.
We’re at a loss for words.
Genie+
Ok, not really. We’re never at a complete loss of words here at DFB, but we are certainly confused right now. There’s a strange new Genie+ trend that we’ve noticed in Disney World and it has us questioning everything we thought we knew. Here’s what we’ve been seeing! Check it out, and let us know if we’re the only ones who are baffled right now!
We love Disney food. Okay, so maybe you guessed that because we’re called Disney Food Blog, but we seriously cannot stop talking about Disney World food and what you should get. There are a few different ways to go about getting food at Disney World, and one way is with the Disney Dining Plan.
Let’s eat!
There are two different types of Disney Dining Plans: the Disney Quick Service Dining Plan and the Disney Standard Dining Plan. You’ll pay for the plan before your trip, and then you’re allotted a certain number of credits to use at Disney World restaurants and snack stands. While not every single restaurant is covered under the plan, many are, and we’re diving into all the available restaurants!
