food IS a theme park
The Disney Magic was the first official Disney Cruise Line ship to set sail.
The Disney Magic
The Magic set a lot of trends, broke a ton of cruising barriers and stereotypes, and is still one of the most magical cruises to have ever sailed the seas!
Disney World rides can have some INCREDIBLY long lines which can be truly painful to wait in.
Pirates of the Caribbean
During some periods, wait times can be well over 100 minutes for some of the most popular attractions. So you might be wondering just how to skip some of the longer lines and get on more rides in less time. Well, you’re in the right place! We’ve got one particular tip (as well as a few bonus ones!) we want to share with you that could CHANGE the way you approach your Disney trip and the lines you wait in.
Usually, people don’t put the word “relaxing” and Disney World in the same sentence.
With crowds like this, how could you relax?!
There is so much to do, and so many people, and we know families are not always the most relaxing to be around on a Disney trip. But we at DFB have come up with a list of the best ways to relax at Disney World, because contrary to beliefs, it is possible.
While going to the movie theater can be super fun, sometimes having at-home movie nights can be even more fun!
Going to the movies is fun, but at-home movie night can be even better!
Making blanket forts in the living room, whipping up some popcorn and your family’s favorite snacks, and being able to talk and laugh freely throughout the movie is unmatched. If you love family movie night, you’re gonna want to listen up, because a new Disney-Pixar film is landing on Disney+ soon.
Earlier this year, Disney made an announcement that shocked both Star Wars and Disney fans alike. After opening in early 2022, in May 2023, it was revealed that the Star Wars hotel would permanently close. Despite its short run in Disney World, the hotel managed to attract a lot of attention when it first opened. Fans described it as an entirely new “experience” where guests were fully transported to another galaxy (there weren’t even any real windows inside the hotel) to live out a Star Wars adventure.
Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser
That’s not to say the hotel wasn’t met with criticism. From the start, many Disney fans were disappointed in both the concept and the price (voyages start at around $1,200 per guest per night for two guests in a cabin). After the first few voyage dates sold out, the hotel eventually began to face some vacancy issues. Now that the dust has settled and Disney has commented on its decision to close the hotel, was it all worth it?
It’s almost here! The time that we know a LOT of you have been patiently waiting for.
Disneyland
Since February 2023, the former French Market Restaurant has been undergoing some SERIOUS changes to become Tiana’s Palace — an all new eatery inspired by Princess and the Frog. Well, the construction is complete, we already got to try some eats before the restaurant officially opens, and NOW… you will finally get to try those eats, too!
If you’re hungry, go to the Disney Parks RIGHT NOW!
EPCOT
Why? Because there is a TON of new food to be found! With the brand-new San Fransokyo dining options in Disney California Adventure, the Food & Wine Festival at EPCOT, and the Halloween snacks on both coasts, the parks are a foodie’s paradise. And coming soon, Disney will be celebrating Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month with 54 more new offerings!
With a park as big as EPCOT, you’re gonna want the BEST easy tricks out there to turn your day from STRESSFUL to Spectacular.
And that’s EXACTLY what we’re got in store for you TODAY, here on DFB Guide.
Rumors have been swirling that The Walt Disney Company could be sold off sometime soon, with analysts predicting it could happen within three years.

CEO Bob Iger commented on the rumors during the Q3 earnings call for Fiscal Year 2023, stating that he wouldn’t comment “on the future structure of the company or the asset makeup of the company.” He did say they are looking at all of their “strategic options” when it comes to things like linear networks and ESPN. But, what do Disney fans think of a possible sale?
It’s September, and many of you are probably holding on to the remnants of summer — dreading those 5PM sunsets and impending cold fronts.
Summer never really ends here in Florida!
One of the best things about central Florida is that summer never truly ends. The sun might set a bit earlier each day and we might be greeted each early morning and late evening with a nip in the air, but around midday, you’ll still catch us by the pool or in the parks with a refreshing treat. One thing that reminds us of relaxing summer days is LEMON! Lemonade, iced tea with lemon, lemon-glazed treats, you name it. Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs seems to be at least partially on board with the whole endless summer thing, as one of the September menu highlights is allllll about lemon. Today, we’re taking you along with us to review a lemony treat.
