Big news for fans of Disney California Adventure’s Food and Wine Festival!
DCA Food and Wine Festival!
The festival this year will take place from March 6th to April 27th, 2026, and we know a lot of guests, ourselves included, are really looking forward to trying what will be available this year. It turns out Disney has decided to give us a treat, because we just got a sneak peek at the foodie guide that will be coming soon!
Your park bag is packed, you know your transportation route, and now you’re ready to rope drop your Disney World park for the day. But before you get there, you should know that certain hotels make it easier to do so.
Magic Kingdom rope drop crowds
Rope dropping is when you show up before the park even opens and are some of the first to get on attractions. Why do guests do this? Because it’s a great shot at some of the lowest wait times of the entire day and a serious head start over the late sleepers. Doing it at Disney World means waking up EARLY, and once you factor in transportation, it’s probably earlier than you planned. Plus, Disney hotel guests get Early Theme Park Entry, so everyone else is already trying to beat the clock, too. After rope dropping from tons of hotels over the years, we’ve learned one thing: if you want to maximize your morning, skip these hotels and choose smarter swaps to save you time.
When it comes to dining at Walt Disney World hotels, there are a litany of options scattred across property, especially at the Swan and Dolphin Resorts!
Steak at Bourbon Steak
The iconic Michael Graves-designed resorts (which are located near EPCOT on Disney property, but not owned by Disney) are home to over 20 restaurants and lounges that offer “something for everyone, from the most passionate foodie, to those seeking a quick, yet satisfying meal.” These are some of our favorites.
Big changes are coming to the Walt Disney Company soon, thanks to a new CEO taking over in just a few short weeks.

While this is big news in and of itself, we’re also expecting to learn more about the CEO transition, along with other changes coming to the Walt Disney Company as a whole.

I’ve been a DFB reporter and Annual Passholder, and these are the pants I swear by when I’m doing a rope drop to fireworks kind of day at Disney World.
Crowds at Magic Kingdom
Pants?! Yes, because not only does it get chilly-ish on some days at Disney World, but I liked wearing pants even during the warmer months at Disney World to keep my legs out of the sun and just give me full coverage and support throughout the day. These pants are also beloved by thousands of other Disney World guests every day.
