food IS a theme park
It’s HALLOWEEN TIME!
And we’re so excited about this spook-tacular time of year that we wanted to offer you a little something extra — and it’s way more TREAT than trick! We’re having a big Halloween SALE at the DFB Store!
Happy Halloween!
The 2021 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is in full swing, and we have already reported on the MUST HAVES for this year’s festival! But what if you have been missing ANOTHER major Disney World food and wine festival all these years and didn’t even realize it?
Swan and Dolphin Resort Area
The Swan and Dolphin Food and Wine Classic is “the other” food and wine festival in the Walt Disney World area, but unlike EPCOT, you’ll only have two nights to enjoy the food, fun, and festivities. It’s also a much more condensed space, so you’ll be able to see it all in one night. Let’s look closer at the other Food and Wine fest ’round these parts!
Halloween still hasn’t come and gone yet, but we’re starting to see signs of Christmas and the holiday season in Disney World!
The holidays are coming soon!
We got the full list of holiday treats to check out the other day, and we’re already starting to see some decorations show up around the parks. We spotted the tinsel stars on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood Studios, and now some distinct decor is popping up in Animal Kingdom as well!
Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration has been in full swing for almost 3 weeks now!
Happy 50th, Disney World!
We’ve eaten a ton of new food (much of it sparkly and blue), checked out new restaurants, watched two new fireworks shows, and so much more. But, the celebrations aren’t just at Disney World. In fact, they’re even in other countries now!
Disney Genie+ JUST debuted in Disney World, and we have so many tips to share with you!

With Genie+, the free Disney Genie system, and Individual Attraction Selection, there’s a lot to learn these days and that can be a hefty task. Is it worth it to navigate the complicated waters of the new tech? Well, today we challenged ourselves to see how many rides we could do in one day using Genie+ and Individual Attraction Selection (pay-per-ride) to find the answer to that question!
There are a lot of new features coming to Disney World tomorrow with the launch of Disney Genie and Disney Genie+!

The free Disney Genie service will offer a digital assistant for planning your day in the park, while the paid Disney Genie+ will allow guests to use the Lightning Lanes for certain attractions. And as part of the offerings of Genie+, guests who purchase the new system will be able to use new PhotoPass lenses in the parks!
With so much going on for the 50th anniversary of Disney World, you may have forgotten that it’s also EPCOT’s 39th anniversary!
Spaceship Earth’s makeover is SO PRETTY
The park opened on October 1st, 1982 and has had a very storied history. EPCOT has evolved greatly over time, with many of the original attractions now gone, and the park currently undergoing a huge transformation. And, if you’re a big fan of EPCOT, you’re going to want to see these posters that were just released on shopDisney!
If you’re going to Disney World during the holidays, you have to check out the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays!
Festival of the Holidays Sign
Festival of the Holidays takes place at EPCOT from November 26th through December 30th this year and celebrates different cultural traditions from around the world. There are food booths, decorations, and the famous Candlelight Processional. And, we just got exciting news about the celebrations!
Here at DFB, we know that our readers are usually big fans of Disney-themed or historically significant houses.

In the past, we’ve shared looks at storybook cottages, castles fit for a queen, and even a peek inside Disney CEO Bob Chapek’s own mansion. But today, we have some photos of an extra special house to share — a house that Walt Disney himself lived in!
There is SO MUCH happening at Disney World over the next few months including the 50th-anniversary celebration and the return of holiday events at Disney World! And today is the perfect time to plan your next trip — and we have details on some great DEALS and DISCOUNTS!
