food IS a theme park
Halloween season might be just one of our favorite times of the year. Soon, the air will turn a little colder, the leaves will change colors and fall to the ground, and we’ll be enjoying the flavors of the season like apple cider and pumpkin spice lattes.

Well, if you love Halloween and like to go ALL out with the Halloween Disney souvenirs and decor, we’ve got some great news: a new spooky Halloween Disney collection has just arrived at The Disney Store.
Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year in Disney World, which means that your vacation can get fairly expensive.
Magic Kingdom
So, saving money when you can feels like a big win. We love a good money-saving tip here at DFB, and obviously we’re going to share them with you! Here’s how to score cheaper park tickets during your Disney Christmas vacation as low as $95!
What if we told you that you could stay at a hotel on Disney World property for cheap, without sacrificing all of the perks that come with staying at a Disney-owned hotel? Well, you can, and there’s even better news than that!
Drury Plaza Hotel
Disney Springs Resort Area Hotels offer benefits that are typically exclusive to Disney World hotels, including free transportation to the parks and Early Theme Park Entry to the parks, but at a fraction of the cost of Disney World hotels. This fall, you can snag rates starting at just $125 per night!
We’ve seen some pretty big anniversaries celebrated in Disney World, just over the past decade, including the MASSIVE Disney World 50th Anniversary Celebration (which went on FOREVER), as well as The Walt Disney Company’s 100th Anniversary Celebration. Let’s face it…Disney loves to celebrate, and there’s always a big party.
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
Well, another BIG Disney World anniversary is coming up soon. On October 1st, 2026, Disney World turns 55 years old, and we’ve already seen a sneak peek at what the 55th Anniversary logo will look like!
Magic Kingdom has been making some MASSIVE changes. We’ve seen both Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad get HUGE updates. Villains Land is being built behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Piston Peak is being built in Frontierland. But we have yet another change to warn you about soon, too.
The Walt Disney World Railroad
The Walt Disney World Railroad is set to close soon, so if you have plans to ride this attraction, you’ll want to make note!
With so many Disney World Resorts to choose from, it’s hard to know which ones are the best for you and your family that’s why DFB is here to help you stay up to date!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
We have a lot of opinions on resorts since we’ve stayed at them all and keep track of new updates and changes to make sure they’re as great as we remember. There are three resorts right now that people are avoiding until the dust settles — literally.
Keeping Disney World rides in tip-top shape takes a lot of work, and sometimes that means attractions need to close to make it happen. Of course, it’s never fun to get to a Disney park and realize one of your favorite rides is closed, which is why we always keep an eye on the refurbishment calendar to know what closures are coming up and when. It can save you a ton of heartache in the long run and help you prepare for your upcoming trip.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Of course, if you don’t want to keep up with the calendar on your own, you can always check DFB! Speaking of which, one of Magic Kingdom’s popular rides is closing in November for refurbishment, and we’ve got all the details you need to know.
Every year, thousands of people walk into the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival with a beautiful, reasonable goal: eat a few things, drink something fun, maybe complete a cheese crawl, and make it back to Spaceship Earth without needing to loosen their waistband. We are not those people.
Food & Wine Opening Day
On opening day, the DFB team arrives at EPCOT with phones charged, portable batteries packed, assignments made, spreadsheets open, food trays ready, and the collective determination to eat, photograph, film, review, and document essentially the ENTIRE festival. And then, while our reporters are sprinting around World Showcase carrying six plates and a rapidly melting dessert, there’s another team at home downloading photos, editing video, writing reviews, updating pages, building social posts, and sending increasingly frantic messages asking, “DID THE CHEESE PHOTO UPLOAD?”
Disney is all about changing things up right now, and that’s evident with all the construction that’s happening just about everywhere, including in Magic Kingdom. In fact, Magic Kingdom might be the theme park that’s changing the most. The park is not only getting a Frontierland Cars-themed expansion, but also a new land, Villains Land.
Diamond Horseshoe
But a Magic Kingdom restaurant is changing up its game soon, too. Diamond Horseshoe will soon become a sort of pop-up restaurant with a brand new menu, and now we have a first look at that full menu!
Disney fans are DIVIDED. Some say Disney World rides are getting better, others say that Disney’s truly lost their way. But what’s the REAL TRUTH here? And WHY has this controversy bubbled up in the first place?
TRON
Today, we’re figuring out what ACTUALLY happened to Disney World’s rides, and if they’re truly getting worse… or if that’s ALL a big internet rumor that needs to be shut down ASAP.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
