food IS a theme park
We’ve finally gotten to step into EPCOT‘s newest lounge, GEO-82, and knew we had to run straight to you all to tell you everything!
GEO-82!
GEO-82 is the park’s new Spaceship Earth-themed lounge that is only for guests 21+. We’ve been looking forward to checking it out all year long, and we just got a sneak peek at the new bites to eat and drinks you can grab!
A NEW lounge is welcoming guests at EPCOT! The new GEO-82 is home to upscale eats and drinks during the day, plus a fireworks experience so you can have the ultimate vantage point of Luminous: The Symphony of Us on the World Showcase Lagoon.
GEO-82!
While there is a special fireworks experience, you can still visit the lounge to see the view even without doing the pricey special experience. We got the chance to check out this adults-only (21 and up) bar during the fireworks, and we’re sharing what you need to know about the VIEW!
A new experience is coming to EPCOT, and it’s coming with a heavy price tag.
EPCOT
If you’ve always wanted to dine inside Spaceship Earth, sip delectable cocktails, and munch on beautiful food, a new lounge is opening June 4th.
A new pirate-themed lounge is coming to the Magic Kingdom, and we can officially stop calling it the “pirate-themed lounge” because now we know the name!
Welcome to Adventureland
Disney World just dropped a sneak peek (or should we say beak) into the new lounge nestled into Adventureland.
Hold up, EPCOT fans! Disney just dropped a new experience, and you’re going to want to hear all about it.

If you’re a lover of fireworks, fancy drinks, and exclusive eats, we found the ultimate event for you.
We’re aboard the brand-new Disney Treasure cruise ship and taking you along as we discover all of its secrets!

We were invited by Disney to check out the Disney Treasure (the Disney Cruise Line’s latest addition to its fleet) in New York City ahead of its scheduled maiden voyage on December 21st, 2024. Home to several different experiences and themed restaurants, one of the things we were most excited to see on the Disney Treasure was the Haunted Mansion Parlor, a Haunted Mansion-themed lounge that is sure to delight fans of the iconic Disney attraction. While checking out this sure-to-be-popular lounge, we got a first look at some of its offerings, including a secret menu!
We’re willing to bet you’re walking right past one of the best parts of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and you’re not even realizing it!
Tune-In Lounge
We’re on a mission to tell you about some of the grossly underrated Disney World lounges in the parks AND hotels, and we’re telling you, it doesn’t get much more immersive than this one!
We spent an evening at one of the least talked about Disney World lounges — and it didn’t disappoint!
Barcelona Lounge is calling you over.
It’s no secret that here at DFB we often prefer to dine at the lounges inside Disney World hotels and parks instead of their proper restaurants, and sometimes that rings even more true when there’s incredible food and stunning views involved. So when we got the chance to come out to one of the most luxurious moderate hotels in all of Disney World, we thought it was an offer too good to pass up!
Raise a glass! The Disney Dining Plan is finally BACK. We’ve been counting down the days for MONTHS, researching the pros and cons, and answering your biggest questions. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. First, you need some context.
Full Spread at Yak and Yeti
The Disney Dining Plan is an optional vacation add-on that essentially allows Disney World hotel guests to pre-pay for their meals in exchange for Dining Plan credits. Then, once you’re in Disney World, all you have to do is enjoy your meal and apply those Dining Plan credits to your meal (as long as the restaurant accepts the Disney Dining Plan, that is). This option was unavailable for several years, but as of January 9th, 2024, it’s finally BACK, with a few changes.
Ok, we think we’ve found a solid choice for a lounge or pool bar when choosing your next Disney hotel stay WITHOUT costing you a fortune!
The whole band is back together!
We’ve visited several lounge and pool bars around Disney World lately with some being clear winners with returning fan-favorite menu items but most of the time these have been at some of the most expensive Disney World hotels. So where do you choose to stay (and eat) if you’re looking to stick to a budget and are traveling with kids that really would prefer more pool time over spending hours in the Disney World parks? We think we’ve found a great compromise for you! [Read more…]
