We know, we know. The EPCOT Food & Wine Festival just started, plus we’ve got the Festival of the Holidays and Festival of the Arts on the horizon, too, but Disney decided to get us excited for the next festival, too.
EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival
The EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, one of the prettiest festivals, is returning in spring, and we have the official dates.
Choosing a favorite EPCOT festival can be like choosing a favorite child — at least for us!
2025 Festival of the Arts
We’re still celebrating the Food and Wine Festival, plus we have the Festival of the Holidays to look forward to before the year ends. While we aren’t trying to speed up time, we are ridiculously excited that Disney has finally confirmed the dates for the 2027 International Festival of the Arts!
The DFB team is in the Disney World parks every day, and we know how to spot an expert!
Ear Holder
There’s a certain look you start to notice in the parks after a few trips — it’s not a matching family tee or a costume. Instead, it’s a very specific combination of gear that quietly says “I’ve done this before.” Spot someone strolling down Main Street U.S.A. wearing all the right pieces, and you’re looking at a bona fide Disney World veteran. Here’s exactly what that expert-level outfit looks like, piece by piece, and where to snag each item for yourself.
When it comes to changes to Disney World’s oldest attractions, fans tend to react… badly, and have been for decades.
Tomorrowland Speedway
Which arguably makes it all the more surprising that there’s a Magic Kingdom opening day attraction that many fans are desperate to see changed, if not outright removed: The Tomorrowland Speedway.
