food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another DFB Video, and today we’re talking Disney World resorts and hotels!

All around the parks, there have been plenty of refurbs and brand new hotels on property, which has made it even harder to choose where to stay, but the DFB team has got you covered!
The reduction of single-use plastics has become a hot topic around the country, and there are several states where you’ll see political pushes to do so.

Back in May, Disney announced that Walt Disney World Resort hotel guests would have the option of upgrading their MagicBand with 30 fun options. Our readers expressed a lot of enthusiasm for this discounted pricing on some of their favorite designs!
MagicBand Upgrade Screen
Essentially, guests staying at a Disney resort from late-May onward could log into My Disney Experience and choose to upgrade their complimentary solid-colored MagicBands to bands with designs featuring beloved characters, attractions, and more. The cost for doing so was about $15 less than guests would pay for the same bands in the parks.
Located within the Epcot Resort Area, the iconic Swan and Dolphin hotels are a comfortable walk from World Showcase in Epcot.

Hey all!! Episode 14 of the DFB Podcast is now available for your listening pleasure!!
Yep — we know that secretly you all choose your hotel based on what restaurants you can get to within walking distance (doesn’t everyone?!?).
So we wanted to make your decision making process as easy as possible and just share our favorite Disney hotels for dining. It takes the guesswork out of it for you, ya know? 😉
SO — listen in to hear some of our favorite Disney hotels in Disney World AND Disneyland…based on restaurants alone. (Of course, this is the most important criteria for a hotel. It goes 1.) Good restaurants, 2.) Beds and stuff.)

Alrighty…time to take a listen! And don’t forget to rate us on iTunes!
Wildberry Margarita From the WDW Lounge Standard Menu
In the post text and comments of our recent Tony’s Town Square review — and in the comments sections of a few other recent posts — the subject of homogenization of menus and condensation of purchasing down to just a few vendors across Disney’s restaurants has become a frequent topic of conversation.
Studios Central’s Matt Hochberg suggested a while back that I cover this issue and has since written a great post about it himself. I’ve also had some reader comments and emails that make it clear that this type of “uniform” experience might be making a dent in the magic for many of us.
