Is there anything better than a character hug? (Probably not, to be honest.)
Best. Hug. Ever.
Thanks to Disney plushes, you can hug a character whenever you want! Disney has attraction-themed plushes, characters with big feet (literally), and holiday-inspired stuffed animals. And now, Target is selling some cuddly Disney plushes too!

And now, the celebrity narrators for this year have finally been announced!
We talk about Disney World food A LOT here at DFB.
PDQ!
It’s kind of our whole thing. We’ve covered every restaurant in the parks and beyond from fancy sit-down meals to quick-service spots. But recently, we wandered a bit outside the normal Disney World bubble to check out a newly opened restaurant that might give our favorite Disney Springs chicken spot a run for its money — so come with us to check out the new PDQ Winter Garden!
Many projects in Disney World have been delayed or put on hold in the past few years mostly due to the global pandemic.
EPCOT
TRON construction is still going on after the project was delayed, we haven’t heard anything about certain projects that were supposed to be happening in EPCOT, and other projects have been put on hold indefinitely. But, as things pick up again, we have seen some projects completed, like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. And now, one project is finally happening that you most likely forgot about!
It’s hurricane season, and Disney World can sometimes find itself directly in the path of these storms. The good news is that Disney is extremely prepared and has only closed for storms seven times in its history!
Looking gloomy in EPCOT!
All weather is unpredictable, and hurricanes are no exception. Disney still welcomes thousands of visitors from June to November during hurricane season — if you are planning on taking a trip to Disney World during this time, you’ll feel a lot better if you come prepared.
