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.
This summer is the first time in what feels like forever that you can visit Blizzard Beach AND Typhoon Lagoon!
Blizzard Beach
For the past few years, only one water park has been open at a time, but this is the summer of water park fun, which ALSO means it’s the summer of water park snacks, and we’re SO here for it. We just heard about three new snacks that we had to try out, and all we have to say is don’t judge a snack by its cover photo — sometimes simple is the way to go.
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!
We can’t get enough of Disney Springs and all its incredible dining options, and we feel like it keeps getting better and better.
Frontera Cocina
One of our favorite Disney Springs restaurants just announced a new event happening for a limited time this summer on select days of the week, and if you love live entertainment as much as we do, you won’t want to miss out. Frontera Cocina just introduced a new summer event called Viva La Noche that happens on select evenings on their patio, and we got to see what it was like!
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!
When it comes to eating, Disneyland has some of our favorite restaurants and food. Seriously, what can beat a fresh churro and that cheesy garlic pretzel bread? NOTHING, we say! But what about some of those restaurants we don’t talk about much, like Troubadour Tavern in Disneyland’s Fantasyland?
Troubadour Tavern
Well, we recently stopped by Troubadour Tavern to check out some food and get you a full review of this quick-service dining spot that just happens to reside in The Happiest Place on Earth. So let’s get to our thoughts.
Given its status as one of the world’s most popular — and most crowded — tourist destinations, Walt Disney World can often be tough for introverts.
Disney World’s Magic Kingdom
Even Disney Adults who adore the parks usually need to steer clear of, or grin and bear their way through, certain areas, queues, and attractions at each of the resort’s theme parks.
