food IS a theme park
A massive change is coming to EPCOT in a few weeks!
Spaceship Earth in EPCOT
An ultra-popular ride will close and be replaced with a brand-new version of the attraction on May 26th, and we’ve got all the details you need to know!
The Disney Adventure Cruise Ship has canceled a sailing when passengers were on board the ship.
Disney Adventure
Yes, Disney’s newest cruise ship, which has been sailing for roughly 2 months, has had to cancel one of its itineraries at the last minute. Here’s what we know and what you can do if you find yourself in a situation like this.
One of the most magical times on your Disney World vacation is watching one of the incredible nighttime spectaculars like Happily Ever After in Magic Kingdom, Fantasmic! in Hollywood Studios, or Luminous — The Symphony of Us at EPCOT. But sometimes that can take a turn!

The nighttime shows can get cancelled, and it happens more than you might think. One of the most common reasons a show might be canceled is the weather. When it’s too windy or lightning is too close to the area, the show will be canceled for the safety of the guests and performers. But there’s another way that a Disney World show can be cancelled, and we bet you didn’t even know it was possible.
Will Disney World be suspiciously empty in 2027? Here are the reasons why people might be holding off on a trip next year!

When it comes to a Disney World vacation, sometimes it feels like crowds are inevitable, from long wait times for attractions to bottlenecks and heavy traffic in the parks. But even though it seems more and more like there isn’t much of a “slow season” for Disney World, is it possible that 2027 could actually be a slow year?
Yes, you read that right, ANOTHER closure has hit Disney World. Disney Springs has been swamped with closures this year, like Sprinkles Cupcakes, Francesca’s, and Shore.

Now, another store has formally closed its doors, and we only got a week’s warning!
If you’ve been a DFB reader for a while, then you probably know all about Tiny Train Town!
Tiny Train Town!
I like to report on the shenanigans and nonsense happening in the tiny village in the Germany Pavilion at EPCOT, and you’d be surprised by how much shenanigans and nonsense these folks get into! So join me, Madam Mayor, as I take you on a tour of the itty bitty city and see what wild stories we can uncover.
The drinks in EPCOT are SO good that there is literally an activity called “Drinking Around the World” where you basically just grab a drink (alcoholic or otherwise) in each country in EPCOT’s World Showcase. At least every adult has done it…at least once.
New drink alert!
Now, we know there’s some controversy on where to start said drinking around the world journey (Mexico vs. Canada, although you can also start in France if you’re entering EPCOT via International Gateway), but whichever way you choose, we’re going to recommend that you make a stop in Japan at a spot you might not even know about, Garden House.
Disney World will see so many changes in 2026, including The Walt Disney Studios Courtyard, Bluey’s Wild World, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, and Soarin’ Across America.

Believe it or not, Disney has even more changes up its sleeve for 2027! Disney World will have four massive changes coming next year.
There may not be a hotter topic on the planet right now than the use of artificial intelligence, or AI. There has recently been a lot of blowback against generative AI, in particular, which is often accused of illegally using copyrighted materials. This has even resulted in some legal actions. For example, both Disney and Universal have filed a lawsuit against Midjourney, a generative AI tool, over copyright infringement.

Then there are the environmental concerns, especially with the large amounts of energy and water that AI data centers need to operate. However, it seems like, despite the controversy, AI is here to stay. In Disney’s case, the company recently doubled down on its commitment to embracing technology, including AI tools, more aggressively.
There is a very specific kind of sleep that only happens on the first night of a Disney World vacation.
Ah…it feels good to lay down!
You know the one. You’ve survived the airport, the shuttle, the rental car counter, the “where did I put the MagicBands?” spiral, and the emotional whiplash of realizing your kids are somehow both exhausted and vibrating like caffeinated squirrels. You finally make it to your Disney World hotel room, fling your park bag into a corner, peel off your travel clothes, and collapse into bed. And suddenly? Magic
