food IS a theme park
When it comes to dining, it’s no secret that Walt Disney World has a lot of options.
Chicken anyone?
Spread across the property’s 4 theme parks, 20+ hotels, and the Disney Springs district, there are all kinds of eateries.
Well…that Disney World perk didn’t last long.
Pirates of the Caribbean
We literally JUST talked about a brand-new perk that came to Disney World three days ago that would allow you to get FREE Lightning Lane at Magic Kingdom. Maybe the pirates stole that treasure back, or Disney just didn’t like the perk anymore; we really don’t know. All we know is that the perk has been DITCHED!
There are a lot of things Disney World does extremely well. Fireworks. Snacks. Turning “I’ll just browse the gift shop” into a minor financial event. What Disney World is not naturally built for is quiet. This is, after all, a vacation kingdom fueled by stroller traffic, mobile order panic, and one family of six somehow stopping in the exact center of every walkway like they’re filming a documentary about poor spatial awareness.
Magic Kingdom
So yes, if you’re an introvert, Disney World can be a lot. Not bad a lot, necessarily. Just… a lot. A parade of sounds, crowds, questions, decisions, heat, logistics, and strangers breathing with a level of confidence that feels, frankly, aggressive.
Which is exactly why your hotel matters.
Attention Disney Visa cardholders, there’s a NEW exclusive meet & greet available just for you at Hollywood Studios, for now anyway.
Disney Visa
You can now meet Experiment-626 himself, Stitch, at the Celebrity Spotlight meet & greet area. This exclusive encounter with Cardholders brings some “Hawaiian-style fun” to the park and includes a photo download.
Don’t look now, but summer is just around the corner, and Disney World is going to be THE place to be for Disney World Annual Passholders.

Magic Kingdom, which is already under a lot of construction, is about to get ANOTHER big change.
Dole Whip from Aloha Isle
Right now, the park has just reopened an updated ride, is in the process of reopening ANOTHER big updated ride, is getting a brand NEW land, and an expansion in Frontierland. As if that wasn’t enough, though, some changes are coming soon to a popular dining spot in the park: Aloha Isle is getting an update!
You know how much we love Disney World food, after all, we’re LITERALLY called the Disney Food Blog!
The Minnie Kitchen Sink Sundae
Here at DFB, we eat at Disney World multiple times a week, every single week. We can’t help it, Disney World just has too many things to try, and then we want to go back and have what we already love. Since we’ve had so many different eats and treats at the park, you can imagine we’ve tried some pretty…interesting snacks! To that, we’d say, you’re correct, and we want to share them with you. So, take a look at some of the most utterly ridiculous snacks we’ve tried at Disney World!
We knew this was going to be big, but we can’t believe the number of permits Disney Imagineering just filed for this project coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Tree of Life
There are so many cool things coming to Disney World between Magic Kingdom’s Piston Peak and Villains Land, Hollywood Studios’ Monstropolis, and Animal Kingdom’s Tropical Americas. Disney has been making progress on all of them, but the progress on Tropical Americas has been most impressive, and it continues to show after Disney just filed nine…yes, NINE permits!
For many Disney World hotel guests, the hotel pool is one of the highlights of their trip!
Stormalong Bay at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts
From huge, feature-filled water playgrounds that are arguably comparable to water parks to small, quiet bastions of relaxation, there are plenty of options to choose from. But, even fun activities like Disney World hotel pools come with rules — and there are a few you should pay a bit more close attention to, or you’ll be caught off-guard!
If you’re heading to the Magic Kingdom this May, there are some major changes you need to be prepared for.
Magic Kingdom
