food IS a theme park
Refreshment Port at EPCOT, near the Canada Pavilion, has been closed for refurbishment for a while now — but we didn’t know why.

Well, we officially do know why now, as it was just revealed that Refreshment Port will reopen as La Poutinerie!
After being closed for over a year, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is finally reopening at Magic Kingdom!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Disney announced that the Wildest Ride in the Wilderness will officially reopen on May 3rd, and we can’t WAIT. The ride will reopen with new elements, scenes, and an expanded storyline we’re excited to experience. Not only that, but Disney revealed that after extensive testing, the height requirement has been lowered! Here’s what we know.
Think you know everything about Disney World? Think again.
Cinderella Castle
There’s a whole world of hidden tricks, little-known perks, and insider strategies that most guests walk right past. From surprise character encounters to scoring last-minute tables at the most in-demand restaurants, and even unlocking discounts that aren’t widely advertised. Disney doesn’t always make these things easy to find… but that’s where we at DFB come in. Get ready because we’re spilling the secrets that can totally change your next trip.
Who doesn’t love eating their way around World Showcase? And the cool thing is that you can get food and drinks OUTSIDE of each pavilion’s restaurants. Many of the pavilions have shops that also feature snacks and drinks from their host countries, too!
Frozen Wafer Sandwich
Well, one of our favorite spots to shop for such snacks is at Mitsukoshi in the Japan Pavilion. Here, you’ll find LOADS of Japanese treats, and well, we just found some new frozen treats that we HAD to try, although one was actually sweet potato-flavored. Let’s take a look at these treats, and we’ll give you our honest thoughts.
Days spent at Disney World can be long, hot, and tiring, but carrying the right bag around in the parks can make or break your day.
ODODOS Daily Sling Bag
We love the idea of crossbody bags because while they can keep our hands free (for all the Disney snacks), they help distribute the weight across our bodies. These bags can hold our essentials, such as sunscreen, phones, wallets, and more. Here are four of the best crossbody bags for your next Disney World day.
Are you headed to Disney World in May? It’s a great time to visit the parks! You can enjoy the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival throughout the whole month, plus you’ll get to see Disney World in all its springtime glory and enjoy the newly reopened Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin in Magic Kingdom.
EPCOT
If you are headed to Disney World in May, you’ll want to know about all the exclusive perks you can get while you’re there. So we’ve outlined all ten of them, so you know what to expect.
Your next trip to Magic Kingdom might just be a little bit more magical.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
We’ve been waiting and waiting to ride one of our favorite roller coasters with a brand new refurbishment, and we finally have the reopening date. Hold onto your hat because we’re about to ride the wildest ride in the wilderness!
Staying at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa — for many Disney fans — is the ULTIMATE must-do at least once during a Disney World vacation. If you’ve ever wondered what a stay is actually like, look no further — we’re spilling the tea.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
As one of Disney’s most luxurious hotels, the Grand Floridian can feel like an elusive bucket-list stay. Packed with Victorian-era theming and amenities and restaurants that are often considered world-class, this hotel can provide a Disney experience unlike anything else around the world. During one of our stays, we were able to enjoy the DVC resort studios (which boasts Mary Poppins theming), and there were some seriously impressive elements that have us itching to book another visit.
Norway doesn’t get nearly enough credit as a snack destination in EPCOT.
Kringla Bakeri og Cafe in the Norway Pavilion
Sure, everyone knows about the School Bread and the Lefse, but tucked inside Kringla Bakeri og Cafe is a chocolate chip cookie that honestly might be one of the sleeper hits of the entire World Showcase. We grabbed the Triple Chocolate Chip Cookie for $6.49, and we have some thoughts.
