food IS a theme park
Welcome back to the Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom
We spent a cloudy day in Magic Kingdom yesterday and have LOTS to show you, including some fun new merchandise finds. Come with us for a day in the park!
For MONTHS the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover has been closed for refurbishment.
PeopleMover Closure
We have been keeping a really close eye on this attraction, but month after month, it’s refurbishment period has continued to be extended. Most recently, the refurbishment was extended through January 30th. We saw the attraction being tested in early January and thought it’s refurbishment might be coming to an end. But, we (unfortunately) must share with you that the PeopleMover refurbishment has been extended once again.
There are lots of things in Disney World that fans mark as must-dos, or things that are a rite of passage.
Cinderella Castle
But, there are also some things that people never want to do again. We even have a list of snacks the DFB team never wants to eat again. And there are some things that Disney fans might outright regret having ever done. So, we asked you, our readers — “what’s the biggest regret you had after your last Disney World trip?” And there’s LOTS to be learned from their responses.
Things are constantly changing at Disney World.
Cinderella Castle
In 2020 alone we saw TONS of changes (like the temporary suspension of fireworks and the suspension of the Disney Dining Plan) and — oh yeah — the parks CLOSED for the longest time in history! All of these majorly changed how you plan your Disney vacation. BUT, Disney has made many major changes like this over the years that dramatically impacted how trips are planned. Today, we’re taking a trip back in time to go through some of those BIG changes. Plus, we’ll make a quick trip to the future to see some changes that are on the horizon!
We have a Disneyland Paris update.

Since closing in March 2020, Disneyland Paris temporarily reopened in July before closing again in October. The park has remained empty since then, but there are tentative plans to reopen once more on April 2nd, 2021. However, guests may not have to wait that long to visit some part of property.
Hello from EPCOT! We’ve got lots to show you.
Spaceship Earth
We took a walk around Future World and the World Showcase and found some new merchandise, snack updates, and more. Let’s take a look!
Life can be stressful and hard at times. Often times, we wish we could just escape to the Disney Parks, but you know, that costs money… .

But with this new Zenimation video, we can escape to an EMPTY Disneyland Paris for free. Let’s all take a deep breath, shall we? Deep breathe in…and out… .
Hello from Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Tree of Life
We spent a day walking around the park to see what’s new and we have a TON of updates, so let’s get started!
Getting a boarding group for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, one of Disney World’s most popular attractions, can be one of the more difficult things you do throughout your entire Disney World trip.
Rise of the Resistance
You’ll want to keep in mind those new Boarding Group distribution times, get everything set up in the My Disney Experience app ahead of time, and ask for some help from the Force. If you’re lucky enough to get a Boarding Group, the key is then to return in time to ride the attraction. How much time do you have to get back to Rise once your group is called? Well, we actually noticed a bit of a change with that today.
If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly meal, Disney World has plenty of quick service restaurants to choose from!
Pinocchio Village Haus
Just recently, we’ve reviewed Pinocchio Village Haus in Magic Kingdom, Woody’s Lunch Box in Hollywood Studios, and Harambe Market in Animal Kingdom. We know how we feel about most Disney dining locations, but we’re curious to hear our readers’ opinions, so we asked: “Are these Disney World quick service restaurants overrated or underrated?” Here are your thoughts!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
