food IS a theme park
Chances are we’ve all been there — major retail regret.
Let’s go shopping!
You saw the shiny, cool new toy and couldn’t wait to grab it in every single color. But, now that the novelty has worn off — you’re wondering why the heck you even bought it in the first place! Well, dear DFB readers, we asked, and you answered — and nearly half of you will NEVER buy this in Disney World again.
Being a Disney World fan is sometimes… difficult. Of course, in the grand scheme of things — we’re lucky to be able to visit the parks so often and notice each change that takes place.

But sometimes, those changes make us downright mad — especially when it’s to something we’ve come to know like the backs of our hands. That’s why we’re always on the hunt for the latest clues as to what changes might be in store for Disney World — and we found quite a bit this time around!
Whoa, one of the most recent sales to hit Disney World might have just saved the rest of our Christmas shopping worries!
Starbucks Tumbler sale alert!
Shopping online can be so much more convenient to snag those Disney souvenirs you absolutely must have, but if you’re willing to spend the extra time to venture out to Disney World in person, it could save you BIG! [Read more…]
At the end of your hectic, fun, ridiculously-packed-with-plans-and-events Disney World vacation, sometimes it feels like you need another vacation to actually rest and recharge. Getting up at 6:30AM to make rope drop at Animal Kingdom isn’t exactly a super relaxing time.

The Orlando International Airport just made an announcement that’s seriously tempting us to add another vacation to the end of our Disney World trip!
EPCOT‘s glow-up of World Celebration literally can make your jaw drop.
Disney Imagineers talking about creating World Celebration gardens
World Celebration has been under construction for years and now we finally can see the fruits of that labor and the finished product. Not only do we have an incredible space to sit, dream, and play but it even transforms at night. We had a chance to dive deeper into the details of it all, and what was shared directly from Disney Imagineers blew our minds! [Read more…]
The Brightline Train to Orlando International Airport is officially up and running.

We’ve even taken the train, and honestly, we think it might be our new favorite way to get to Orlando. However, when the train was first proposed, there was initially supposed to be a stop at Disney Springs, which would take you from the airport directly to Disney Springs quickly and efficiently. However, that plan was scrapped when Disney backed out of the deal. But, wait, because there could be a train coming to Disney Springs, after all!
We love it when our favorite Disney souvenirs are also really darn useful.
Can you ever have too many Loungefly bags?
Exhibit A: LOUNGEFLY BAGS!!! Yep! They’re cute, they feature our favorite Disney characters and park icons, and they’re super functional as park bags. They do tend to come with a heftier price tag, though, so we try to stay on top of the sales. Speaking of sale…
There is SO much to see and do in Disney World — how is anyone supposed to choose?!

Luckily, there’s something for just about everyone. You’re a fan of thrill rides? Check. Slow, dark, themed rides? Check. Delicious snacks and drinks? Yep. Water slides and more?! Also, yes. But, if you were planning on heading to Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park anytime soon, we’ve got a bit of bad news to share.
The newest announcement about a Disney-inspired community may have you considering moving to North Carolina.

Storyliving by Disney is Disney’s project with ambitions to build master-planned communities throughout the US. The project initially hit the scene with one announced community and room for growth. While we’ve not had confirmation until this point that interest would lead to another community being added, it seems that Disney is ready to move ahead with plans for a 2nd location SOON!

Since DeSantis appointed the new Central Florida Tourism Oversight District Board (CFTOD), we’ve seen multiple changes in the district that governs Disney World, including a mass exodus of employees, the removal of certain benefits, and a hefty tax bill to boot. Now, a new report from the CFTOD is accusing Disney of previously providing benefits that were “akin to bribes.” Here’s what we know.
