food IS a theme park
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!
Cinderella Castle
Disney dropped a BUNCH of news this week about very exciting things coming to the parks in 2025. And we’re talking both Disney World and Disneyland.
December 5th was Walt Disney’s birthday — chEARS to you, Walt! In honor of the special occasion (or maybe Disney was just in the mood to break some news), we learned a LOT about the future of the Disney parks. We have some new opening dates, new MENUS, and some news about a popular Disney parade. There’s a LOT to talk about!
Magic Kingdom
Disney just dropped a bunch of fun announcements. In case you missed them, we’ve rounded up all the latest updates in one handy place! Now, come along with us, and let’s see what’s happening in Disney World and beyond in 2025.
Let’s play a game called, “Which major celebrity visited Disney World this week?” because, at this rate, it seems like someone famous is stopping by at LEAST once every few days. As they say on one of our favorite Magic Kingdom rides, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, “You never know who you might see!”

Alright, before we show you, let’s all place our bets. Will it be Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson? Pop icon Sabrina Carpenter? Musical legend Ariana Grande? We’ll give you a hint: they love the idea of summer, and sun, and all things hot…
One of our favorite parts of Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resort is the pool. That might sound random if you’ve never visited this resort, but trust us; it’s worth the hype.

The pool has all kinds of EPIC features, like a sand bottom, a lazy river, and a GIANT pirate ship water slide. Need we say more? Clearly, the pool is a big perk for a lot of people, but if you’re basing your hotel decisions on that pool alone, you might want to listen up. We have an important update!
Let’s be honest — a Disney trip is magical, but it can also be a bit like running a marathon while juggling in unpredictable weather. You know those moments when you’re standing in line, your phone battery is at 2%, it starts raining, and somehow your backpack has turned into a black hole where nothing can be found? We’ve all been there. But here’s the good news: with a little preparation and these carefully selected Amazon finds, you can tackle whatever the parks throw at you.
Magic Kingdom
We’ve tested and curated this list to help you handle everything from sudden Florida downpours to the dreaded dead phone battery. These aren’t just random gadgets — they’re practical solutions that will actually make your park day better (and maybe save you from having to buy overpriced replacements in the gift shops).
Sure, people like to make jokes about the classic “it’s a small world” song, but you cannot deny that the charming little tune has endured for decades. This simple, slow-moving Disney attraction is endearing, colorful, and universally loved. It’s just a classic!
“it’s a small world”
From Disneyland Park in Anaheim to Magic Kingdom to Tokyo Disneyland, this attraction reaches people from all over the world — even Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland have a version of this ride. So, who’s behind the beloved song that accompanies the ride? Two incredibly talented songwriters Disney fans might recognize — Richard and Robert Sherman.
We’re simple people. We like snacking around the world in EPCOT. We like sparkly holiday lights. We like scenic spins on the Skyliner. What can we say? We know how to have a good time in Disney World!
EPCOT
Well, what we’re about to show you might just earn a new place on our list of favorite things to do in Disney World. We’re going on a special backstage tour of a popular EPCOT attraction! Come with us to experience the Behind the Seeds: Glimmering Greenhouses tour for the VERY FIRST time.
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!
EPCOT!
Festival of the Holidays is HERE, and making all of my EPCOT dreams come true, Disney has announced a NEW hotel, and so much more.
Disney launched its controversial nearly $500 skip-the-line service. At sometimes double the cost of a single-day park ticket, this pricey add-on has guests in sticker shock, but could this actually be one of the best-paid options Disney has ever offered?

We’re taking a deeper look at Disney’s Premier Pass, today on DFB Guide.
We’ve eaten a LOT of food in EPCOT this year. We started 2024 with a bang at the Festival of the Arts. Then, we enjoyed the stunning Flower and Garden Festival, followed by the Food and Wine Festival this fall. But winter is here! That means it’s time for the last EPCOT festival of the year — the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays.
EPCOT Festival of the Holidays
The EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays runs from November 29th to December 30th, 2024. This festive event brings all kinds of special holiday entertainment to EPCOT, from the famous Candlelight Processional to a NEW Spaceship Earth gingerbread display. It’s going to be SO much fun. But one of the best parts of the event is the FOOD, and now we have a big clue about the menus this year.
