food IS a theme park
It doesn’t matter HOW many times I go to Disney World – every time I’m back, I learn a whole bunch of new things (for better or for worse).
You might need to increase your Disney World ticket budget!
And I’m here to pass that wisdom on to YOU before YOUR upcoming Disney World trip, here on DFB Guide.
We love so many things about Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The unique snack offerings, the rides, and of course, the animals!
Rhino in Animal Kingdom’s Tree of Life!
While it’s awesome to get to see the animals out in their habitats throughout the day as you make your way through the park, what goes on behind the scenes is often even more interesting. For example, we’ve learned from Disney that lost perfume bottles are actually put to use in Tiger habitats, and now Disney is accessorizing rhinos — yes, REALLY!
Even though it’s only May, we are ready for Halloween!

Back in April, Disney celebrated Halfway to Halloween by releasing special treats, dropping a sneak peek of Halloween merch, and announcing that Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party would be returning to Disney World this year for the first time since 2019 — Eeek! And now, tickets for the event are on sale for all Disney World guests!
We’ve found all the best restaurants in Disney World, along with some pretty great lounges. We know where to get snacks, desserts, and drinks in the parks and at the hotels! But what if you need a break and a meal en route to your Disney World vacation?
Orlando International Airport
We’re stepping away from Disney World for a minute to find the BEST airport lounges in the US! Check out these luxurious hang-outs to find your next must-visit spot at some of the country’s most popular airports. Whether you need a quiet place to work during a layover, a quick drink between flights, or even a spa treatment (😮), some of these lounges seriously have it all. [Read more…]
It may be mid-May, but Disney is already gearing up for the holiday season — or, at least they’re reminding us that it’s never too early to start celebrating!
You can always find ornaments in Disney World!
No matter what time of year you’re visiting, you can stop into shops like Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe in Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Days of Christmas in Disney Springs to stock up on Disney ornaments and decorations and we’ve been seeing A LOT of new ornaments find their way into the parks recently. We’ve seen ones that look like Pirates of the Caribbean, Space Mountain, Under The Sea: Journey of The Little Mermaid, and more! And, Disney isn’t done yet — now there’s ANOTHER Disney World hotel ornament available!
When was the last time you visited EPCOT?!
Spaceship Earth
This park is undergoing a MASSIVE transformation, and that means things are changing every single day. Whether it’s construction, food, or merchandise news, there’s always something new to check out in this futuristic park. So, without further ado, let’s see what’s new in EPCOT!
Magic Kingdom hit some rough patches this past week.
Cinderella Castle
While a lot of new merchandise hit the park over the past couple of days, there were also some issues, like missing food offerings, canceled entertainment, and an early closing. So let’s dive deeper into what’s going on at the Magic Kingdom!
As summer closes in, we’re preparing ourselves (and our tastebuds) for new snacks and treats in Disney World!
Cookie Waffle Sundae
We’ve recently tried a Pepperoni Pizza Egg Roll in EPCOT, a Berries and Cream Churro (HA now the song’s stuck in your head), and a Gideon’s Bakehouse dupe in Disneyland! Today, we’re heading over to Disney Springs to try an ice cream sundae!
Disney+ is changing soon in a big way, and it involves ads.

Not long ago we reported that Disney+ would be introducing an ad-supported subscription later in 2022, with a separate subscription option for people willing to pay more for no ads, and recently we learned a few details about what those ads might be like. Disney also announced just how many ads you may be watching if you opt for this future subscription, so find out whether this could be a dealbreaker for you.
Bibbidi! Bobbidi! BOO! The return of this magical experience that transforms little boys and girls into dashing heroes and charming princesses has finally been announced!
Bibbidi Bobbodi Boutique in Magic Kingdom
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is Disney’s own boutique for guests ages 3 to 12 years old. “Magical Makeovers” are provided by Fairy Godmothers-in-Training who turn guests into royal princesses or gallant knights. There are two Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutiques in Disney World, located in Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, but they have remained closed since the pandemic closures, and we’ve been anxiously awaiting the moment when they reopened their doors. Now, we know when these spots will reopen!
