food IS a theme park
After some MASSIVE jumps in wait times at Walt Disney World last week, things have stabilized a bit.
Frozen Ever After
Wait times at Walt Disney World were steady over the resort this week, though we did still see some incremental increases.
Each week we bring you the latest closures and refurbishments going on around Disney World.
EPCOT
Many of these attractions, restaurants, and even entire parks have been closed for an extended period of time with no reopening date in sight. However, while one restaurant has been closed for its intended purpose for several years now, it occasionally reopens as a completely different venue. Now, on May 1st, we’ll once again see it reopen but NOT as a restaurant.
Have you ever walked by Tomorrowland Terrace and wondered what is going on? It has LOTS of seating, wonderful shade, and a fantastic view of Cinderella’s castle.
Are you okay, Tomorrowland Terrace?
Yet, for the majority of the day, it sits completely empty. Should we be worried about you, Tomorrowland Terrace?
We’ve got DATES for the 2024 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, Pixar Fest has begun over in California, and a BIG change now affects the way you will pay for two souvenir experiences in Hollywood Studios.

Y’all, I have to admit it. It’s true. When I visit Disney World, sometimes I SKIP Magic Kingdom.
Hey there, Cinderella Castle!
Before you think I’m a monster who hates fireworks and princesses and castles and joy, please let me explain! I promise I have some pretty good reasons for skipping this magical park, and by the time you finish reading this, who knows? You might even be convinced to try it out on your next trip.
Disney World is only a few hours away from white sandy beaches, fresh sea breezes, and crashing waves. But you don’t have to leave Disney World to find good seafood.
Columbia Harbour House
Even though it’s not New England, you can still find delicious seafood throughout the Florida parks. In each park and in Disney Springs, you can grab tasty fish, shrimp, lobster, and more. You might think that the best seafood would come from the table-service locations that offer it, but trust us when we say that one counter-service (aka fast food) restaurant in Magic Kingdom is definitely worth the visit!
Our DFB reporters go to Disney World literally every single day. We visit the parks, hotels, and Disney Springs. We spend HOURS collecting information, taking photos, and — yes — EATING. After decades of visiting the parks, you’d think we’d be completely sick of all the food in Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
That assumption would be partially correct. There are definitely days when we think we might puke if we have to eat one more cupcake. But there are a few (well, more than a few) snacks that we NEVER get tired of eating, even after having eaten them dozens of times! [Read more…]
Ah, Walt. Look at what you created! Disney World is the most magical place on Earth. People come here to make memories with their friends and families. People come here to have fun. It’s a special place! But people are people. And some people get a little carried away. We go to Disney World every single day of the year, so you best believe we’ve heard some wildly inappropriate interactions over the years.
Disney World
On the whole, we’ve probably witnessed more positive memories than negative ones, but here at DFB, we like to keep it real. We have to talk about the weird stuff right along with the good stuff. Let this story be a word of warning. If you see someone try to pull any of these stunts, you might want to keep your distance. Trust us, no one wants to hear these things in Disney World.
There is just so much to see and do in Disney World.
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
Just in Magic Kingdom alone, you’ve got a ton of rides, a parade, nighttime fireworks, shows, and other experiences that make your Disney World trip that much more special. But two RARE events occur in Magic Kingdom every year, and if you don’t want to miss those in 2025, keep reading!
Do you know where you’ll be in the summer of 2045? Maybe you SHOULD…

There’s a lot of planning ahead that goes into a Walt Disney World vacation. Dining reservations, Lightning Lane strategies, making must-ride lists, planning out which merchandise to be on the lookout for, etc. However, the potential planning ahead we’re talking about today goes a wee bit further out than that.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
