The EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival
Right now, you can find everything you need to build a perfect Food & Wine starter kit for the fall!
We aren’t ashamed to admit that this freebie is one of our FAVORITE things about Disney After Hours at EPCOT!
EPCOT
Want to enjoy attractions, entertainment, character greetings, and select free snacks and drinks for three hours, all with minimal crowds? Then the Disney After Hours events might be the perfect vacation upgrade for you! These separately ticketed events are scheduled on select nights at Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT. The events offer similar features at each of the parks, but there’s a hidden gem at EPCOT’s After Hours that we absolutely CAN’T miss!
Come with us as we stop by Block & Hans in EPCOT’s American Adventure Pavilion to check out this year’s special EPCOT Food & Wine Festival addition!

You get it all right here at DFB!
A LOT of construction work is happening in Disney World right now. So many new lands are in the works, including Piston Peak National Park, Villains Land, The Tropical Americas, and Monstropolis in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Disney Imagineering released a behind-the-scenes look at all of these exciting construction projects, and we also got a massive tour of the brand-new Monstropolis land, and we’re taking you with us!
When we’re not at Disney World, we try to make it seem like we are by lighting a candle and acting like our living room is actually like we’re taking a ride on Pirates of the Caribbean!
Pirates of the Caribbean
There are so many places to get candles, but some of our favorites to find scents that remind us of Disney are Bath and Body Works and, believe it or not, Walmart! We asked our team for some of their favorites, and we found SEVEN we can’t live without!
One of our favorite spots on Disney’s BoardWalk currently is Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs. It may seem like just a corn dog stand, but it’s far more than that — there’s a reason Disney brought it over to the East Coast from Disneyland Resort!
Jalapeño Popper at Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs
It’s rare that this spot lets us down, which is part of the reason we were super excited to try the new Jalapeño Popper that arrived on the menu recently. It only costs $7, which we thought was a steal…and then we tried it, and realized that was $7 we kinda wished we had saved.
It’s that time of year again! Universal Orlando’s Halloween Horror Nights is back for another year of iconic seasonal frights, and this year the event features a brand-new lagoon show!
Stranger Things: Return to Hawkins
Stranger Things is, ahem, no stranger to Halloween Horror Nights, as the Netflix series has been a major part of the event several times, but never quite to the degree we’re seeing in 2026, thanks to Stranger Things: Return to Hawkins!
An upcoming fireworks change could impact your future Magic Kingdom plans!
Magic Kingdom Fireworks
For many guests, a Magic Kingdom day isn’t complete without watching the Happily Ever After fireworks show to cap off the night. If that sounds like you, heads up that this upcoming change could shift your plans in the park!
