food IS a theme park
If there’s one thing we love, it’s a Disney Corn Dog!
Pickle Dog!
And ever since Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs opened at Disney’s BoardWalk, they’ve been serving up soooo many fried foods on a stick!
Been toying around with the idea of becoming a Disney Vacation Club member? We’ve been there.

DVC is essentially Disney’s timeshare program, in a way — it allows members the opportunity to lock in their “future vacations at today’s purchase price.” Unlike a traditional timeshare program, members are not “locked in” to a particular Disney destination, Resort, style of accommodation, season of travel, or length of stay. Instead, Members utilize a Vacation Points system, which offers more flexibility. If you’ve been thinking of becoming a member, but haven’t totally been sold, you’ll want to check out this NEW deal that just landed online!
There is a lot happening at Disney World right now, and we don’t want you to be caught off guard by closures!
Magic Kingdom
A Magic Kingdom attraction is closing this week. While it is only for a short time, we don’t want you to be surprised if you were hoping to ride it!
Trying to figure out what you’ll actually need on your Disney World vacation is almost as difficult as deciding which ride to go on first!
What do you REALLY need?
We’ve tested a ton of products in the parks, so trust us when we tell you which items are absolutely essential. And, if you’ve been putting off buying these Disney essentials on Amazon ahead of your next trip, consider this your sign to stop procrastinating!
If you’ve ever looked around Disney World and gone “there are so many great restaurants, but I don’t know where to start at each one,” then there’s a solution happening next month that you can’t miss out on!
Summer House on the Lake
For the past 20 years, Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining event has been a great way to try multiple different higher-caliber restaurants for lower prices, while supporting a great cause at the same time. This year is no different, but if you’ve specifically wanted to try these Disney World restaurants, you’ll want to grab your tickets!
We never would have expected the best Amazon deals to come AFTER Amazon Prime Day!

We’ve been scrolling through Amazon and found some Disney merchandise that is all OVER 50% off! You’re not going to want to miss out on these deals.
We have recently talked about an increase in cases of Vibrio vulnificus, a flesh-eating bacterium, in Florida. At the end of December 2024, 83 cases of Vibrio vulnificus were confirmed, up from 46 the previous year.
Lookout Cay
This increase was due to an active hurricane season in 2024, and although this hurricane season has been fairly quiet so far, the flesh-eating bacteria are back. According to WESH, the bacterium has recently caused the deaths of four people in the state.
If you’ve ever flown from any airport, even if you were flying to Disney World, you’re probably very familiar with all the procedures and rules you need to know about to get through the TSA security checkpoints at the airport.
TSA lines at MCO
Those procedures, though, are starting to change. For example, for a long time, you’ve had to take your shoes off when you go through security, but that rule recently changed, and you can now leave your shoes on. Another TSA security checkpoint rule involves liquids: you can currently only carry 3.4 oz. of any liquid, and all those containers have to fit into a quart-sized bag. However, according to ABC 7, those rules regarding liquids might also soon be changing.
It’s probably no secret that we’re candy fiends here at DFB. Okay, if we’re being honest — we don’t really discriminate when it comes to food. Sweet, salty, sour, you name it — and we probably love it.
M&M’s Store in Disney Springs
So, when we found out that there was an EXCLUSIVE M&M’s flavor you can ONLY get at Dollar General, we knew we had to spread the word. We’ve seen plenty of flavors of this chocolatey, candy-coated snack, but this is one that we’re putting on our “must-buy” list ASAP.
This summer is the first time in what feels like forever that you can visit Blizzard Beach AND Typhoon Lagoon!
Blizzard Beach
For the past few years, only one water park has been open at a time, but this is the summer of water park fun, which ALSO means it’s the summer of water park snacks, and we’re SO here for it. We just heard about three new snacks that we had to try out, and all we have to say is don’t judge a snack by its cover photo — sometimes simple is the way to go.
