food IS a theme park
Greetings from the Most Magical Place on Earth!
50th Anniversary Cinderella Castle
We’re taking in all that the fall season around Disney World has to offer, from treats to merch to Not-So-Scary parties! But, just because Halloween is here doesn’t mean that construction has stopped, so let’s take a look at the biggest Disney World construction updates from this week!
It’s spooky season in Disney World and you know what that means — LOTS of Hocus Pocus fun!
The Binx paw…
We’ve already had a chance to see the Sanderson Sisters at Mickey’s Not-So-Very Scary Halloween Party. We even found a fun photo op celebrating the upcoming premiere of Hocus Pocus 2 on Disney+! PLUS we tried a Binx-themed snack that was SUPPOSED to be a Binx Pastry Tail but was actually a Binx Pastry PAW at the beginning of August. NOW, though, we have the Binx Pastry Tail snack!
A lot of new restaurants have opened at Disney World recently!
Connections Eatery
Here at DFB, we really like food (it IS in our name, after all), so we’ve eaten at all of the Disney World restaurants and tried almost all of the food Disney has to offer (you know, for science). With the opening of several new restaurants, we’re rounding up some of the most popular items at Disney World’s newest restaurants — take a look at what made the list!
Halloween has FINALLY arrived in Disneyland and we couldn’t be more excited!
It’s Halloween Time!
Main Street, U.S.A. is adorned with pumpkins and fall leaves and the iconic Mickey pumpkin has arrived, too. We’re taking in all the sights and sounds — but most importantly, we’re trying all the NEW Halloween snacks coming to Disneyland. Speaking of which, it’s time to take you with us because we’re reviewing a treat that sounds sweet as pie!
Sometimes things don’t go as planned in Disney World.
Cinderella Castle
You spend months planning your trip, making dining reservations and park pass reservations, but your trip will probably not go 100% as planned. Fan-favorite rides close all of the time (we’re looking at you Rise of the Resistance), transportation can cause issues trying to get to the parks, and weather can put a damper on your plans. We recently experienced a problem that impacted rope drop in Disney World and we’re here to share it with you!
The airline industry continues to struggle with the increase in flight demand.
Do you fly to Disney World?
There have been a record number of flight delays and cancellations this year, as well as issues with mishandled luggage and tons of complaints from flyers. Airlines are also dealing with a pilot shortage, and all these things combined have caused airlines to cut back on their number of flights. Now, flights are already getting cut for the busy holiday travel season.
Have you been able to keep up with all of the changes around Disney World?
Halloween is HERE!
So much has happened around the resort recently — buffets are returning, more character meet-and-greets are appearing, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique has reopened, and the Halloween season has arrived. But there’s still so much more to look forward to this year. So, to help you know what to expect during your next trip, here are 5 things that will be different in Disney World this September!
One of the best things about visiting Disney World is seeing the characters!
Mickey and Minnie at Adventurers Outpost
There are also so many opportunities to see them, too — they turn up in character cavalcades, in parades, and at character meet and greets. Some even roam around the parks so you can randomly bump into them. Now, characters are returning to the parks, and that includes some very popular character meet and greets in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Let’s face it — Disney World is expensive.
Vacation can cost a lot of money!
People can easily spend thousands and thousands of dollars on family vacations between just the hotels, tickets, and food alone. That’s not even taking into account things like airfare or stuff you might have to buy for your trip! So, we’re always on the lookout for ways that you can save money when you’re in the parks. One of the ways to do this is by being aware of ticket prices. They vary from day to day and from park to park, so you can save a lot by picking dates (or parks) that cost less than others. We’re going to break down the CHEAPEST days to visit Disney World in 2023!
Things are changing around Disney World every day and we do our best to keep you updated on all of it!
Wilderness Lodge
