food IS a theme park
At Disney World, there are souvenirs, and then there are SOUVENIRS!
EPCOT
Y’all, get this. We were strolling through EPCOT, enjoying the updates, and, of course, the food, but then we spotted a unique piece of merch that we just had to tell you about, and guess what? It’s made by a Disney Imagineer! Say whaaaaat?!
We know what you’re thinking. You probably read the title of this post and thought, “Well, every week at Disney World is practically perfect, if you ask me.”
Disney World
You’re not wrong, my friend. However, there were some things that we saw and did in the parks this week that had us thinking we’d officially hit PEAK perfection. From a great hotel experience, to seeing the first hints of an upcoming EPCOT festival, to finally checking out an iconic Magic Kingdom souvenir, it’s safe to say we had a GREAT week. Let’s talk about it!
We love staying at Disney World hotels! Don’t you?!
Coronado Springs
Listen, the Disney World parks aren’t the only way to be immersed in the magic. You’ll find the Disney World hotels to be lovely bastions of Disney magic immersion no matter which one you choose. One of the team members was a previous Cast Member and they thought they’d share some Disney World hotel “secrets” with you, so let’s go!
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!

We’ve got water flowing at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. A recently filed permit gives us an idea about construction happening soon at Disney Springs, a brand new snack spot is now open, and more!

One of the BEST feelings in the world is walking into your Disney World hotel on the first day of your vacation and taking a gigantic whiff of the glorious Disney smells.

Yes, each Disney World hotel has its own scent which also has a strange way of smelling like every other Disney World hotel at the same time. We often find ourselves wishing we could just bottle up these smells and take them home with us so that or houses can smell like Disney World, too. Well, we’re here to tell you how you can do EXACTLY THAT.
By now, you know that we really love a good deal (especially when it comes to Disney). For that reason, lots of people on our team have really grown an affinity for big-box stores like Costco, which often have great deals not only on food and merchandise but also on travel, gift cards, and other vacation essentials.

While we might not all do our everyday shopping here, these wholesale memberships come in quite handy for Disney deals and gift card offers that could save us TONS. But, we’re not the only ones that have a love for Costco! Let’s take a deeper dive into why people are obsessed with this retailer. [Read more…]
Making a trip to Disney this year may have just gotten that much EASIER!
Sleeping Beauty Castle
With so many great offerings at Disneyland like the limited-time return of a special parade and nighttime spectacular and Spring offerings popping up already, it’s hard not to get excited about planning a trip to Disneyland. If you’ve been looking for an extra way to budget (or just save a little extra on your already-planned trip), Disney just dropped 2 new offers that could save you BIG! [Read more…]
It’s often debated among avid Disney World goers whether or not it’s best to stay on Disney World property or to simply stay nearby.

There’s no wrong answer, and the answer can even CHANGE depending on the size of your group, what your goals are for your vacation, and your allotted budget at the time. These things can change each time you visit! Well, for a few Disney fans, it might be the time to consider staying OFF property. 👀
One of the best parts about Disney World is that the “it’s 5 o’clock somewhere” rule totally applies.
Margarita, anyone?
Seriously! If you’re up for getting boozy at 10AM, go right ahead. No one will judge you. A lot of folks start bright and early over at EPCOT to drink around the world, while others stick to hotel lounges and even Disney Springs. One of our favorite spots to grab a drink in Disney Springs is currently offering up a GREAT deal. Let’s talk about it!
Disney has announced that they have big plans for the current theme parks plus a $60 billion investment plan for expansion.

$60 billion is a big chunk of money, so what exactly is Disney planning to do? We have heard of the Blue Sky projects that were mentioned at D23 as well as DisneylandForward.
We know that Walt Disney once said “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world”, but what exactly could this mean for the future expansion of the parks? It might not be exactly what you are thinking!
