food IS a theme park
We’ve got a SUPER FUN Monstropolis addition to tell you about, a new scene added to a Disney World attraction, and Spooky season is starting early — we’ve got first looks at NEW Halloween treats coming to Disneyland very soon.
Halloween
Oh, and stay tuned for the opening date for a first‑of‑its‑kind coaster, and a Halloween Horror Nights house announcement so surprising you will NOT see it coming. All of the latest Disney and theme park news is coming up right now on DFB Guide.
Having the right shoes for Disney World is incredibly important, and we know that firsthand.

We can’t tell you how many blisters we’ve gotten, painful walking days we’ve endured, and how many times we’ve told ourselves we’d NEVER choose style over comfort again in Disney World, and now we pass that wisdom onto you so you can avoid the same pain we’ve faced. We have a lot of favorite shoes for the parks that keep you comfortable all day long, and Brooks are high up there on the list. If you’ve been thinking of getting a pair, now is the perfect time, because not only are new shoes going live today, but some of them are ON SALE!
Is it safe to say that Walt Disney World just feels like one massive construction site right now?!
Haunted Mansion
Ok, we may be exaggerating a little bit, but there is a lot of construction happening across the entire resort. That’s only because Disney likes to keep everything in tip-top shape, and they have a TON of new stuff on the way, which we are very excited about. So, we’ll take construction! We’ve been patiently waiting for things to open and for construction to be finished, and we’re happy to report that the scrim is finally DOWN at a popular attraction in Magic Kingdom!
If you’ve ever stayed at a Disney World resort with more than one pool, you’ve probably wondered: can I actually swim at any of them, or am I stuck with the one closest to my room?
Massive pool!
Here’s the good news — at every Disney World resort with multiple pools, you’re free to pool hop between them! There’s no rule limiting you to the pool nearest your building, so you can explore every themed splash zone, quiet pool, and feature pool your resort has to offer, all without switching hotels. We rounded up all 16 Disney World resorts where this perk is in play, along with the names of every pool you’ll have access to. Grab your sunscreen — here’s where you can make the most of your resort’s pools this year.
Without any preamble or official announcement, Universal Studios Hollywood opened the long-anticipated Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift roller coaster, and fans have begun FLOCKING to the park.
Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift
The ride soft opened a few days ago, even though it’s not set to officially open sometime in late summer 2026. The attraction has sparked noise complaints from residents who live and work around the park, but now that the ride is open for guests to experience, how are people really feeling about the new coaster? You may be surprised!
It’s not a secret that a Disney World vacation can be very expensive, which is why it’s important to many guests to take advantage of any savings they can.

We’re in Disney World every day, and that means we have a pretty good eye when it comes to changes.
World of Disney
Some changes are pretty big, like new construction walls going up around various projects, but then there are other changes, like this one, that we almost miss. While we were walking around Disney Springs yesterday, we noticed something missing from World of Disney and we’ll be honest — we’re kinda hoping it’s part of a new game.
You know what we love more than Disney souvenirs? Personalized Disney souvenirs!
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
If you’ve got a Disney World vacation coming up, we found eight custom Disney souvenirs on Amazon that you can’t go to the park without. It’s going to make your trip feel all the more personal and all the more magical.
Construction is ALL over Disney World right now, and right when we think things will calm down, another project gets added to the list.
Turf Club Bar & Grill eats
We’ll admit that we’ve known about this upcoming refurbishment for quite some time now, and while it’s thankfully shorter than others, it’s still something to note and keep in mind if you’re visiting in August or September. Over at Saratoga Springs Resort, The Turf Club Bar & Grill will be CLOSED beginning at the end of August.
Hurricane season in Florida runs from June 1st to November 30th, which means it’s likely you’ll be visiting Disney World during the season. This can mean lots of heavy storms, and if you’re not prepared, your entire trip can be ruined.
Frogg Toggs Poncho
We’re in the parks every single day, and that means we’re seeing all different sorts of weather, including those massive storms that can throw you for a loop. One thing we always have in our backpacks is our handy dandy rain poncho, and it can totally save your Disney World trip.
