food IS a theme park
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.

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.

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.
Typically, I’m a Disney World girlie.
Me in the Tiny Train Town at EPCOT
Mostly, I end up being a Disney World girlie by nature of my job — I work as a Disney World reporter and writer here at DFB. But when I get the chance to visit other theme parks in the area, I jump at it! A little while back, I had a triple whammy week where I went to Disney World for work one day, Epic Universe for work another day, and then ended up with my family at SeaWorld Orlando. It was my first time visiting SeaWorld in nearly 20 years, and I learned a really important lesson!
Universal Orlando just dropped some new hints about what’s coming to Halloween Horror Nights in 2025!
Universal Orlando Halloween Horror Nights
There are TONS of fun Halloween events to check out around Orlando. For something a little less spooky, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Disney World is a great option. But if you’re looking for something truly terrifying, Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando Resort might be right up your alley!
If you travel a bit (especially if you’re visiting Disney World on a regular basis), you’ve probably become familiar with some of the budget airlines, especially if you are traveling on a budget and want to save money on your flights.
Orlando International Airport
Well, one relatively new budget airline, Breeze Airways, has continued to expand its reach throughout the continental U.S. The airline currently has over 30 routes to Orlando alone, and it just added six new routes to another airport out West.
If you are planning a trip to Disney World, you’ve probably read some of our posts about the things you need to pack for your trip.
Target
But have you thought about what you’re packing those things in? You’ll need a good suitcase, of course, probably one you’ll want to check-in. But you’ll also need a good carry-on, and so will your kids. Well, Target just dropped two new duffel bags that could be the perfect carry-on bags for kids to bring on the plane (or to use as a weekend bag).
Disney trends have a way of taking over the internet and our wallets before we even see them coming.
The prince charming regal carousel popcorn bucket
From limited-edition Loungefly bags to collectible popcorn buckets and viral TikTok snacks, Disney fans know how to rally around the next big thing. One of the latest obsessions? The Disney Labubus figures. With their quirky designs and ultra-collectible appeal, these little figures have quickly become a must-have for Disney lovers and PopMart collectors alike.
Disneyland celebrates a MAJOR milestone birthday, a new animatronic divides Disney fans, some questionable menu changes hit Magic Kingdom, plus I’m having a PARTY and I want YOU to come!
