food IS a theme park
I hate to break it to you, but 2026 is almost here! While it means 2025 is coming to an end, it also means that we can look forward to our 2026 Disney World trips and all the fun that goes along with them.

Before you pack your bag full of Mickey ears, take this advice before you even head to sunny Orlando, Florida. You’ve planned your tickets, booked your flights, selected your first ten attractions, and know where you’ll be eating breakfast, but if you don’t take this massive Disney World problem into consideration, all of your planning won’t matter. Don’t worry, though, you’re here at Disney Food Blog reading this post, so you’ll be prepared for the best vacation ever.
Disney World changes all the time, and even for people like us who are in the parks every single day, we still get confused sometimes about what the best way is to make sure your Disney World trip works for you.
Magic Kingdom
One of our favorite ways to make Disney work for us is to save money anywhere we can. Something you’ll often find costs the most when you’re in Disney World that it sometimes feel you can’t really get around is dining. However, there IS a way to successfully bring down the cost of dining on your vacation, and it may not be in the way you expect.
We’ve got a lot of things to think about when it comes to getting ready for our Disney World trips, right?

The DFB team is in Disney World every single day. (And that’s NO exaggeration.)
Welcome to Disney World!
So we ride a lot of rides. All. The. Time. And THAT means we’re getting pretty good at figuring out what ride tips are the best to rely on… and which ones are just internet rumor mumbo-jumbo.
Rope dropping, or arriving to the rides and attractions right when they open for the day, is a great way to experience rides and attractions without those ridiculously long waits or the need to purchase a Lightning Lane or Genie+.
Rope drop in Magic Kingdom
We recommend rope dropping rides and attractions to most Disney World visitors if they’re hoping to experience certain attractions without standing in line for hours. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Slinky Dog Dash, and Avatar: Flight of Passage are all rides with somewhat bearable wait times at rope drop — to name a few. We usually say that this isn’t necessary, only recommended, and that you will also experience wait-time drops later in the evening for most popular rides. However, recent events tell us that rope dropping might actually be necessary right now after all. 😳
Have you ever been to Disney World in August?
Gotta be prepared for those really sunny days!
Let me paint a picture for you. It’s 98°. You’re standing in an outdoor queue for a ride with a 2-hour wait time, desperately trying to inch closer to the fan that’s fifteen feet ahead of you. The Dole Whip you got earlier in the day to cool off melted into a sticky mess as you ate it, and the evidence is on your shirt. Listen, we love Disney World, but in the summer it can be ROUGH. So, sometimes we do some questionable things to survive the heat — but don’t knock ’em til you try ’em!
