In the mood for something sweet?

We’re always on the lookout for the coolest Disney products on Amazon, and this week we’ve come across some fun offerings, most of which are just too sweeeeeeeet.
It’s time to stop sleeping on one of the most underrated (and budget-friendly) food spots in Disney World.
River Roost
If you’ve ever wandered around Port Orleans Riverside, you may have walked right past River Roost without realizing it’s home to some seriously solid eats. This cozy lounge usually flies under the radar thanks to its chill vibe and old-school interior — but now it’s bringing some heat (literally) with a new menu addition that’s too good not to talk about.
Something HUGE is happening this weekend in Japan, and yes, we really wish we were there.

Star Wars Celebration Japan has kicked off, and Star Wars fans from around the world are celebrating their love for a galaxy far, far away. But Star Wars Celebration is MORE than just a celebration — it’s also where Disney and Lucasfilm drop some of their biggest announcements about current and upcoming Star Wars projects. And well, let’s just say, Disney wasted NO TIME making those big announcements — so we’re going to sum them all up for you here.
Are you planning on taking a cruise soon?
Disney Wish at Castaway Cay
Cruising can be such a fun and relaxing vacation (and totally different from visiting theme parks like Disney World and Universal Orlando). Whether you choose to go on a cruise with Disney Cruise Line (and there are PLENTY of ships to choose from with more on the way) or another carrier, there’s a proposed Hawaiian tax you might need to know about because it could make your vacation more expensive.
Have you ever stayed at the non-Disney Disney hotels?
Swan and Dolphin Hotel
We’re talking about the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Hotels, located in the EPCOT Resort area. These hotels get many of the same perks as staying at a Disney World Deluxe Resort, but they’re typically a little bit cheaper because they’re owned by Marriott instead of Disney. If you’re planning to stay there soon, you should know that the Dolphin Hotel just made some big announcements!
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!
The Black Panther!
We got a FIRST LOOK at EVERYTHING coming to Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Destiny. Disney released a sneak peek at the new villains show coming to Hollywood Studios, the newest Universal hotel is OPEN (aka the one INSIDE EPIC UNIVERSE), and more.
We’ve all been there — scrolling through Amazon, trying to prep for a big trip, wondering, “Do I need this weird travel thing I’ve never used before?”

Travel gadgets can seem like a good idea in theory, especially when you’re heading to Disney and trying to make your trip as smooth as possible. But not everything with “travel” slapped on the label is worth it. Let’s talk about a few Amazon travel gadgets that honestly just aren’t worth your time or money — and what you might want to bring instead.
We could spend hours upon hours at Universal Orlando Resort’s brand-new theme park, Epic Universe (and in fact, we have)! But, it’s not just the theme park we’re busy exploring, because three brand-new hotels have opened their doors along with the new park.
Look at that VIEW!
Of course, we’re mostly excited about all the FOOD! We stopped by Flora Taverna at the Universal Helios Grand Hotel to see what they’re serving up for dinner. Let’s dive into everything you need to know!
Universal’s newest hotel, Helios Grand Hotel, is open now, and we’re checking out everything there is to offer!
Universal Helios Grand Hotel
That includes the rooms, the view into Epic Universe, and, of course, the dining! One of the dining spots inside this new location is a table-service restaurant called Flora Taverna, and we’re checking out what breakfast is like (and if it’s worth the reservation)!
Whether or not you’re a Disney World expert, it’s never a bad idea to get caught up with the latest trends and tips!
