food IS a theme park
Quick — we don’t have much time, and we need to tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about Disneyland RIGHT NOW.
Disneyland
So buckle up, because we’re hitting the vacation planning FAST LANE today, here on DFB Guide.
Pumpkins seem to be popping up everywhere — we guess it’s that time of year.
This Scarecrows in Magic Kingdom
Magic Kingdom is decked out with pumpkins, scarecrows, and more for the Halloween season. While it may just be August, with Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party starting this week, our mind is already in the fall season. We can’t wait to watch the Boo-To-You Parade while eating all the spooky snacks. Speaking of spooky snacks, Krispy Kreme is ALREADY breaking out the pumpkin spice!
If you’ve flown into Orlando International Airport recently, you might have noticed that the airport has been WAY more crowded than in previous years.
Orlando International Airport is VERY busy
Well, you’re not imagining it! The airport has seen record-breaking crowds over the past year, with 54.6 million passengers traveling through it over a 12-month period. Needless to say, these crowds can create a less-than-ideal airport experience, but if you know how to handle those crowds, we promise everything will be okay! [Read more…]
We’re constantly on the lookout for new food in Disney World!
Saratoga Springs Resort
Whether that’s new snack items in the parks, updated menus at table service restaurants, or delicious offerings at an EPCOT festival, there’s a LOT to eat in Disney World. And now, we’ve heard that a hotel restaurant is about to overhaul its menu!
There are so many things to enjoy at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, but one of the big draws is the chance to go trick-or-treating INSIDE Magic Kingdom (talk about an epic Halloween experience).
Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party
All kinds of fun candy from the party’s sponsor — Mars Wrigley — will be provided to you at various locations throughout the park, so you can fill up on all the sweet treats your body can handle. But just where are these candy spots located? We’ve got the answer!
There are a lot of things you can do in Disney World outside the parks…and we mean a LOT.
Bungalows at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Outside of the four main parks there are dozens of hotels, two water parks, Disney Springs, golf courses, mini golf courses, the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, and much more. It would take you weeks, possibly months, to do everything. But the good news is — you don’t have to be staying on property to knock most of those activities off your to-do list!
We’ve got some BAD NEWS for those who were hoping to get on the Brightline Train to Orlando International Airport soon.

Brightline had previously indicated that they planned to start service between Orlando and South Florida in the second quarter of 2023. Later, tickets for the train service were put on sale for dates beginning September 1st, but Brightline suggested that service could begin sooner and those earlier tickets would be added to the site once they got closer to the inaugural rides. But now it seems things have CHANGED.
Celebrating Halloween in August is the new norm — at least if you operate on Disney World’s calendar.
Happy Halloween!
Halloween decorations are already adorning the buildings that line Main Street, U.S.A., we’ve seen LOADS of spooky new merchandise, and we can hardly wait for the very first Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party of the year on August 11th. If you’re planning to be at Disney World this Halloween season, one important thing to remember to pack is a park bag that will hold all of your things while also being easy to store during rides. What’s even better is when these park bags match your outfit and theming of the trip — in this case, all things SPOOKY.
There’s nothing like ending your perfect Magic Kingdom day with fireworks.
Happily Ever After
But, chances are we’ve all struggled to find the absolute best spot to watch them. The hub right in front of the castle fills up quickly, Main Street, U.S.A. is packed, and it might feel like you don’t really have any good options. If you’re looking for a somewhat secluded spot to watch Magic Kingdom fireworks, we think we might know just the place!
Disney Springs has a LOT of options for great food.
Disney Springs
You can grab some BBQ from Polite Pig or a sandwich from Earl of Sandwich. You could have a sit-down dinner at Homecomin’ or grab a drink from Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar. But what is even better than grabbing a bite to eat at Disney Springs is getting it for a BIG discount.
