food IS a theme park
These Disney finds came from DEEP in the vault!
Orange Bird
Sure, we love and adore Disney’s ultra-popular characters like the Fab Five, the Disney Princesses, and the Villains. But if you’re ready to shake it up with some souvenirs and merch that rep the deep cuts, you’ve come to the right place!
It’s not the holidays at Disney World until the decorations start popping up. Hollywood Studios is already covered in red-and-white stars and vibrant ornaments just in time for the holidays!

But even more decorations are coming to Hollywood Studios for the holiday after-hours event, Jollywood Nights. Let’s take a look at all of the holly jolly decor that’s already popping up!
Welcome back, coffee people! It’s time for episode FIVE of trying to find out which Disney World hotel is the best for people who want good coffee and also want to add a little Disney magic to their workday!
Chip at Disney’s Riviera Resort
That’s right! I’ve given myself the challenge of visiting EVERY Disney World hotel to see which is the best to work from home (and drink coffee) at! We’re basing this all on their coffee, their atmosphere, and their space (the number of tables and outlets available), and today, we’re headed to the Riviera Resort!
We’ve seen EPCOT crowds rise pretty exponentially over the past few weeks, thanks to both the Food & Wine Festival and the fact that it’s the only park without major construction walls right now (we find ourselves gravitating there too).
Crowds entering EPCOT
During festivals, especially Food & Wine, which is one of the most popular of the year, if not THE most popular of the year, crowds can get pretty intense, so it’s important to pack your patience. Though, based on new data that’s just come out from the TEA Global Experience Index, the theme park isn’t NEARLY as busy as about seven others that have been experiencing higher crowds.

Big updates are happening in Monstropolis, Disney has dropped the list of EVERY holiday snack coming to the parks, one Magic Kingdom attraction is back after a month-long closure, and believe it or not, the first Christmas decorations are up days before Halloween.
It’s Christmas time in Hollywood Studios!
All of the latest Disney and theme park news is coming up right now on DFB Guide.
I will never forget walking into Tomorrowland and seeing an empty spot where Astro Orbiter used to be in Magic Kingdom. Well, maybe it wasn’t what I saw, but what I didn’t see, and that was the ENTIRE attraction. During a recent refurbishment of the spinning ride, they removed the entire thing from the top of the PeopleMover before returning it to its normal spot. It was weird.
Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland
Well, another refurbishment has been announced for Astro Orbiter, but luckily, this closure is much shorter than last time.
If you’re going to go through ALL the effort to get up early during your Disney World trip, you better do it RIGHT!

All-Star Music
Disney recently announced that a closure would be coming to a popular bar at Disney’s All-Star Music Resort. With no official end date in sight, this could end up being a lengthy closure. Let’s take a look at the details that we know so far, so we can plan accordingly.
When I went to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party for the first time, I felt like I would never get everything done. From trying to get a spot for the fireworks, the parade, and that castle show, I can’t forget meeting characters and special snacks, and ahhhhh, it was so much! There’s a lot to do during the party, and if you don’t plan ahead, you might miss something you were really looking forward to.
