Packing for a Disney Parks day can be a bit overwhelming. Especially when making sure you have all the essentials you need.
What if we told you there was a way to get every essential AND a bag to carry them in, all in one package?
Well, this is NOT the news anyone wanted to hear today, but here we are.
Both Disneyland AND Disney World are full of construction right now, all to create new experiences and attractions for guests, but as it’s all happening at the SAME time, things are getting rough. Now, Disneyland Resort has just added TWO more refurbishments to their list…both starting on the same day.
In case you missed it, Disney is currently developing its first-ever Villains Land! It will be located in the Magic Kingdom, and fans absolutely lost their minds when it was first announced at D23 in 2024.

Since then, we have seen work begin on the land, and Disney has even teased some of the details coming to the land. As we eagerly await new details, rumors have started circulating online that Disney has “scrapped” Villains Land, but what does that actually mean? We’re breaking it down here.
We’ve been going to Disney World for YEARS, so trust us, when we say it’s busy in Disney World, we mean it. We’ve seen three hour waits for attractions we normally don’t wait 20 minutes for, and lines for snacks that make us question if we’re even that hungry.
We’re used to families taking long weekends to head to Disney World, and when a holiday is around the corner, we see the crowds get busier and busier. For Presidents’ Day, Monday, February 16th, 2026, we headed to our beloved Hollywood Studios to see how busy it was, and well, let’s just say it surprised us!
Our DFB team loves sharing our best hacks and tips with you to help you become Disney World pros and make your vacations a bit easier.

Cinderella’s Castle
Our team doesn’t just repeat common advice, but we actually test it. We spend countless days in Magic Kingdom tracking wait time patterns, transportation timing, dining options, and Lightning Lane advice, so you don’t have to learn the hard way. These tips are aimed at saving you time and stress and making your Magic Kingdom day better!
Magic Kingdom is chock-full of different rides — and different ride vehicles — however, not all of them are created equal. In fact, there are some really good seats and some that…well…you should probably try to avoid if you can.
From classic boat rides and iconic coasters to the latest in modern E-Tickets, these are the seats to shoot for to have the best experience on these attractions…and the ones that could ruin your day.
