food IS a theme park
If you’re heading to EPCOT this May, there are some major changes to be excited for!
EPCOT
From a patriotic new take on an iconic attraction to returning character experiences and Passholder Perks galore, a bunch is coming to Disney World’s second theme park next month.
We know most people have their preferred airlines to fly, for various reasons. For some, they like the perks they get with flying, the seating layout, or maybe there’s an airline that flies in and out of their city frequently.

For those of you who fly with American Airlines frequently, or have been toying with the idea of doing so, there’s something new on board that may get you even more excited to fly. The airline has just announced that there are now trading cards you can get for flying on board!
Flying has changed a lot over the course of the last decade. Where airlines once charged just one fee for a flight, they now all pretty much charge for everything from choosing a seat, priority seating, checked bags, and even carry-on luggage.

However, some airlines, at least those that fly in Europe, are facing further restrictions on at least one of those fees. Europe is in the process of further limiting airlines in charging fees for carry-on luggage.
We finally have an opening timeline for Disney World’s newest hotel. We got our first look INSIDE the queue for Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets—and trust me, the Easter eggs are everywhere, and I’ve also got some really sad news about a ride closure happening over at Tokyo DisneySea.
Check out the latest news!
All of the latest Disney and theme park news is coming up right now on DFB Guide.
It’s been a while, but Virtual Queue is coming back to Disney World in ten days!
Hollywood Studios
Can you feel that? The force has been getting stronger as we get closer to May the Fourth! May the Fourth is getting closer and closer, and Star Wars fans already have Disney’s Hollywood Studios booked. Star Wars Day is going to bring exclusive snacks and merchandise to the park, and we’re excited to check it all out. Another thing the day is bringing is a virtual queue, something we haven’t seen at Disney World for a little bit. Let’s take a look at the details!
Time is running out to visit one of America’s most beloved regional amusement parks!

Over the last 50 years, Wild Waves Theme & Water Park — located in the Seattle-adjacent Federal Way, Washington — has gone by many names (Enchanted Village, Enchanted Parks, Wild Waves and Enchanted Village, Wild Waves Theme Park, and Wild Waves and Enchanted Village) and been owned by several owners (including Six Flags for a period in the 2000s) but through it all it has remained a constant in the lives of coaster amusement park fans in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. However, that’s all changing this coming fall.
While Disney World is full of lots of closures and construction projects right now, and sometimes it feels like no progress is being made, the truth is that things ARE moving along, and every now and then, we get a glimpse at that!
There’s a NEW pool in Disney World!
This past week, a pretty big project at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort finished up, resulting in a NEW pool that guests can enjoy! That’s not all, though, because we also got new updates on some of the big projects going on in the parks, and with each passing week, we’re moving closer and closer to those walls coming down.
There are lots of perks to being a Disney Vacation Club member. Sometimes it’s a little difficult to understand the fine print, what it all really gets you, and if it’s worth it in the long run, but one of the perks people really enjoy is getting access to an Annual Pass they otherwise wouldn’t get.
EPCOT DVC lounge!
Unfortunately, you don’t get a FREE Annual Pass with your very expensive DVC membership, but many members do appreciate the ability to buy the Sorcerer Pass, which is the second-highest tier on the passholder program and usually only available to Florida Residents. However, it’s important to note that Disney recently changed their wording to crack down on WHO exactly can get this pass as a DVC member.
