food IS a theme park
Are you thinking about spending Halloween in Disney World?
Happy Halloween!
We get that it seems like a great time to visit the parks. Magic Kingdom is all dolled up in its best Halloween and fall decor. There will be a lot of fun Halloween merchandise to get your hands on, and there will even be some Halloween snacks. But before you book that trip, we’re going to tell you why you might want to reconsider!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is DECEIVING you.
Woody’s Lunch Box
On the surface, this park doesn’t SEEM like it has a whole lotta ultra-tasty foods to offer — but, in reality, this place could be your personal gold mine of favorite Disney World eats and drinks.
Disney has a LOT going on right now. There are some BIG upcoming movie releases this year — both Wish and The Marvels are coming out later this year.

There are also some big things coming to Disney Cruise Line over the next couple of years, including a new ship, the Disney Treasure. There are also several new things coming to the parks worldwide, including a new attraction at EPCOT. So what do the opening timelines look like for all these projects? Well, we’ve seen a few timelines previously confirmed, but now we’ve got even MORE of an idea of what other timelines look like.
We hate to say it, but Disney doesn’t always keep their promises.

Frequently — and especially over the last few years — they’ll announce an opening timeline for a new attraction, restaurant, or hotel refurbishment, but that date keeps getting pushed back further and further. We understand that some things are largely out of their control; for example, many projects were paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and lots of construction work was likely delayed due to widespread global supply chain issues. So here’s the big question: Will Disney actually finish all the projects it has promised for 2023?
We think the 999 Haunted Mansion ghosts are at it again…
Haunted Mansion
It’s officially spooky season in Disney World, and things are already looking festive! Which is a perfectly good time for Disney to…close the Haunted Mansion for refurbishment? The ride was scheduled to reopen on August 10th after a brief closure, but it doesn’t look as though things are going according to plan…
Disney rules thrown out the window, TONS of new restaurants on the horizon, and a sudden change for the company’s future?
Partners Statue in Disney World
2024 is gonna be a WILD one for Disney, y’all — so let’s talk more about those big changes today, on DFB Guide.
We all have that one ride we just HAVE to rope drop in Disney World, right?
Pirates of the Caribbean in Magic Kingdom
Maybe you always run straight to Spaceship Earth as soon as EPCOT opens because you need to hear Dame Judi Dench tell you about the history of communication. Maybe it’s making a beeline for Pandora to ride Flight of Passage in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Perhaps you want your first ride in Magic Kingdom to be Pirates of the Caribbean, but if that’s the case, you may not want to do that.
If you love sushi and EPCOT, you’re about to have a field day.
EPCOT
We learned recently that a new restaurant addition would be added to the Japan pavilion at EPCOT — an all-new sushi bar and grill called Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya. We knew that the restaurant would open at some point this summer, but Disney didn’t say exactly when… until now!
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again.

You can find some of the BEST Disney merchandise and travel necessities online on Amazon. You can find Loungefly bags, T-shirts, and a few super unique things that might not even be in the parks. We actually found some unique souvenirs on Amazon recently, and we thought they were so cute that we just had to share them.
After Hours events in Disney World are super popular because they allow access to the parks without the crowds, the sun, or the ride lines.
Figment after hours!
Disney has holiday-themed after-hours parties like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. However, there are also park-specific events that happen throughout the year. If you’ve been hoping to attend EPCOT’s after-hours events, you need to book these tickets ASAP!
