We’re ranking EVERY MAGIC KINGDOM SNACK, today on DFB Guide.
Disney’s newest lounge is located in Magic Kingdom and is perfect for all fans of pirates, but we’ve gotta admit there’s something we need to warn you about over at The Beak and Barrel.
Reservations are hard to get for this hot new spot, as seating in this lounge is pretty scarce — there is a 45-minute time limit to your visit. Unfortunately, you might have to learn the hard way that snagging a reservation for The Beak and Barrel doesn’t necessarily guarantee you an actual seat in this new lounge.
The Beak & Barrel is officially open in Disney World! This Pirates of the Caribbean-themed tavern opened on August 29th in Magic Kingdom, and it has been a popular spot. Reservations booked up quickly once they were finally released, and availability has been hard to come by.
If you are looking to snag a reservation at Disney World’s newest lounge, you will have to be quick or keep an eye out for reservations, as they do occasionally pop up. However, if you are looking for a larger group, we have a huge tip that will help make getting a reservation for your whole party easier.
Now that we’ve kicked off the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival and seen the opening of The Beak and Barrel in Magic Kingdom, we can take a little bit of a breather…
Just kidding! We never take a break from Disney food (and why would we want to?). So this week, we took the opportunity to revisit one of our favorite underrated Disney World hotel restaurants, as well as checked out a new EPCOT Food and Wine Festival breakfast buffet offering. PLUS Disney World restaurants were busy getting changed this week, and we always have to keep you updated on that. So let’s get to those updates.
The Walt Disney Company is constantly changing.

Disney World
From the theme parks to Walt Disney Studios, and everything in between, we keep up with every single change so you don’t have to! There is so much happening on any given day, so we like to do a weekly round-up of the biggest news that you might have missed. Let’s dive in!
A new Disney Villains-themed land is coming to Magic Kingdom, and that means we could see some major rule changes on the horizon!
Disney World has an entire code of conduct for visitors to follow during their vacations, but they also have important policies for how the parks operate. And with an all-new land based on spooky concepts, these rules might get shaken up!
There are two NEW closures this week in Disney World affecting hotel pools!
If you are heading to Disney World soon, you need to know about these closures. We don’t want you to be surprised when you head for your afternoon swim or relaxing day by the pool.
Picture this: it’s a cool fall day, the autumn vibes are all around, and it’s a perfect day in Magic Kingdom. You know what that means? It’s time to get something to drink — how about some cold brew?
There are tons of fall treats around the parks right now to celebrate the season, and while some of them in Magic Kingdom are exclusive to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, there are also plenty that you can grab any time of day. We’re happy to share that a new snack has just arrived in the park that’s available all day long.
A beloved Magic Kingdom attraction is getting a much-needed upgrade!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad was closed in early January 2025 for a lengthy refurbishment and still remains closed today. While the ride isn’t slated to reopen until some point in 2026, Disney recently revealed some MAJOR upgrades that you can see and experience once “the wildest ride in the wilderness” is back up and running!
We’ve got incredible news for those who have been dreaming of taking their kiddo to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique!
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique is a boutique experience where kids aged 3-12 years old can undergo a Princess or Prince makeover of their choice. There are multiple different package options, but now there’s a NEW update you need to know about — the one and only Fairy Godmother is coming to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at both Disney World AND Disneyland Resorts!
