food IS a theme park
Pixar fans, it’s time to lace up those running shoes!
It’s Woody and Jessie!
Disney announced previously that the theme of the 2023 runDisney Springtime Surprise Weekend would be Pixar Pals, and now we have a first look at the designs for the race medals!
We celebrated Disney World’s 50th Anniversary for over a year, but there’s ANOTHER anniversary upon us, if you can believe it!
100th Anniversary Ear Hat
The Walt Disney Company is celebrating its 100th Anniversary in 2023, and you know it’s going to be a huge party full of events, eats, drinks, and yes — merch! We’ve seen a few sneak peeks of what we can expect and even saw some items pop up, but now even MORE 100th Anniversary merch has arrived in Disney World… and it just keeps coming!
The official start of Disney’s 100th Anniversary celebration is just around the corner, but there’s a way to get in on the fun NOW.

There are 100th Anniversary items on Amazon, and everything from a 100th Anniversary Loungefly bag to a Starbucks tumbler was just released online. But you can pick up some 100th Anniversary items in Disney World too, including an iconic accessory.
Just because you’re spending hundreds of dollars a night on a Disney World hotel doesn’t automatically guarantee you’re gonna get the BEST experience for your group – not even in 2023.

Time to talk about the WORST Disney World hotels for next year – here on DFB Guide.
We’ve certainly found our fair share of unique and bizarre souvenirs in Disney World.
Dinoland, U.S.A.
There were the Poisonous Trinket Trays. We LOVE the Monsters, Inc. Screams Water Bottle. We were amused by the Spitting Llama Hat that really SPITS! Well, today, we found another weird — and possibly gross — souvenir you can bring home from the parks.
Disney adults…go to Disney World and they’re EVERYWHERE!
Magic Kingdom
We’re not really ones to talk though, I mean, we’re all technically Disney adults here at DFB! But if you’re reading this, we’re willing to bet that you’re just like us. And if you want to find some like-minded Disney fans in the parks, there are a few specific rides that you should hit up during your trip!
One of the most popular characters in Disney World isn’t necessarily a character you can meet from a movie or TV show.
Sunshine Tree Terrace
Nope, it’s a little orange bird, aka Orange Bird, who’s the mascot for the Sunshine Tree Terrace in Magic Kingdom. This little bird is so popular that he got his own 50th anniversary statue, and he appears on a variety of merchandise, from Crocs to scarves to MagicBand+ designs. Well, now, there’s a NEW Orange Bird souvenir you can take home with you.
Okay, we’re just going to say it — the best part of Disney World is the food. You know us, that’s what we’re here for!
YUM
So although we enjoy the OTHER parts of Disney World, we’re going to tell you a lot about the food because that’s our passion. We’ve told you all about everything we ate at the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays. We’ve kept you updated on all the holiday snacks that have turned up. And we’ll keep telling you about any restaurant menu changes that happen.
One of the most fun things to do in Disney World is meet your favorite characters!
Mickey and Minnie meet-and-greet in Animal Kingdom!
There are so many to meet, too! From meeting Mickey and Minnie in their 50th anniversary outfits to hanging out with Olaf to chatting with the princesses, character meet and greets are always so special. Speaking of princesses, though…ANOTHER Disney princess is now available to meet guests in Magic Kingdom!
