food IS a theme park
We’re coming to the end of the 2024 EPCOT Festival of the Arts. That means the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival is just around the corner!
2023 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival
The 2024 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival begins on February 28th, just in time for spring! While Disney hasn’t announced the menus for this year’s festival, we have been noticing not-so-little clues that the festival is almost here.
Rumors at Disney World spread about as fast as they did through middle school locker rooms. No joke.
Tiana’s Foods Water Tower
A rumor we’ve heard a lot recently is regarding an all-new restaurant that’s coming soon to Magic Kingdom. You know, the one that’s being built at the former Splash Mountain? The one with walls up that say “Tiana’s Foods?” Yeah, we’re totally kidding. That’s just Tiana’s Bayou Adventure — the thrill ride that’s being built. The signage and water tower that’s located beside the ride construction confused a lot of folks, though. They thought that since they were seeing things pertaining to food, that the construction was for a restaurant. Plus, Disneyland’s new Tiana’s Palace restaurant didn’t help this confusion. Well, Disney has officially added some new details that help clear the air.
When something reopens at Disney World, the natural response is to be ecstatic…so why don’t we feel that way?
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
Disney World recently announced a reopening date for 1900 Park Fare at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa after a nearly four-year closure — but the announcement came with a catch. When the restaurant reopens on April 10th, 2024, it will feature a new menu and different characters. The change came with quite a bit of backlash from our readers and it has us worried about the potential reopening of a different character dining experience.
Secret street tacos, restaurants that double as museums, and cheap doughnut sandwiches?
Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom’s food might be just as diverse as its wildlife on property. But just to make sure you’re prioritizing the HIGHEST QUALITY eats and drinks during your next visit, we’re ranking all those Animal Kingdom restaurants (from WORST to BEST) today on DFB Guide.
Getting privacy in Disney World is difficult.
Typhoon Lagoon
This is especially true if you’re hanging out in the parks with hundreds of other guests or relaxing at your hotel pool with, you guessed it, tons of other people. If you want to spend an entire day having fun at a water park on property, you can check out Blizzard Beach currently, but it’ll be closing soon for refurbishment and Typhoon Lagoon will reopen in its place. There IS a place in Typhoon Lagoon where you can find some much-needed privacy and have a great, relaxing day. But is it worth the hefty cost?
Counterfeit Disney World tickets can be a problem for guests.
Magic Kingdom
If you’ve ever accidentally bought a fake Disney World ticket, you may have found that it doesn’t work once you’re at the gate. There is a long list of common ticket scams, but that will soon be a problem of the past. A new patent filed by the company may ensure that the tickets you’re buying are real.
We’re always on the hunt for something NEW to find around Disney World.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Some days, we find something that particularly piques our interests. Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been keeping a dirty secret — and by “dirty secret” we just mean that Starring Rolls Cafe has been sitting empty for seven years with nothing indicating Disney had any plans for the space. Until now, that is!
They’re warm. They’re yummy. They’re picky eater-approved.
You can’t go wrong!
Yessiree, we’re talking about chicken tenders. They’re a Disney World staple for many; can you even visit Disney World without grabbing a basket of piping hot tendies? Anyway, sometimes we find ourselves missing these bad boys and we wish we could have them at home. Well, we found out that you totally CAN have them at home. As long as you know a Disney World Cast Member.
Disney World is home to some pretty stellar snacks, but if you ask us — some of the best can be found without a park ticket!
Disney Springs
Yep, we’re talking about Disney Springs, of course! No matter what kind of meal you’re looking for — whether it’s a sit-down meal or something quick — Disney Springs will probably have something for just about everyone. And this time around, we’re bringing you with us to check out a new snack!
You know when your sibling did something super annoying growing up, and you’d be like, “I love you, but I REALLY don’t like you right now”?
Magic Kingdom
That’s how we occasionally feel about Disney World. 😬 As much as we love the parks and all things Disney World, there are a few things about visiting Disney World that are a little… inconvenient. Okay, we won’t sugarcoat it. Some things are just annoying. However, they aren’t so annoying that we’ll stop visiting the parks, you feel me? The team here at DFB had a little rant sesh — here are the things we find to be the MOST annoying at Disney World right now.
