food IS a theme park
We just love when new rides open at our favorite theme parks.
Hollywood Drift
Universal Studios Hollywood just announced when a popular ride will be joining the lineup, and we couldn’t be more excited to drift into the new attraction.
You may know us for our love of Disney, but in reality, we’re big fans of any and all theme parks and amusement parks here at DFB!

For the mega coaster fans out there, you can’t deny that Six Flags has a lot to offer. And in recent months, we’ve been following the progress of a new coaster coming to Six Flags Over Texas — one that will break some wild records and offer a new level of thrill! Now, a NEW date has been set for its opening.
Wow, wow, wow! It’s been a BUSY week for Disney World!
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
There are new lands on the horizon, and we’ve been experiencing a string of closures that (honestly) made us shed some tears. This week, we’ve luckily had some BIG changes that we have been waiting on for what feels like forever.
Space Rangers, this is Star Command. You are clear for takeoff.
Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin
One of our beloved and nostalgic attractions in Magic Kingdom is officially back open, which means we need to start our hand stretches and target shooting to be the first in our family to hit Galactic Hero.
The day we’ve been waiting for is here! Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is open in Magic Kingdom! We are so obsessed with all the new critters and animatronics Disney has included in this ride that we’ve been keeping up with every single update we can get.

And, now that the ride has opened, we’re taking in all the sights, sounds, and even smells at Tiana’s — but we’re not the only ones. So, what do the crowds look like on the opening day of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in Magic Kingdom?!
Today was a BIG day for us — we got to ride TRON Lightcycle / Run for the first time!
TRON Loading Area
This ride officially opens to the public on April 4th, but Cast Member previews and media previews are currently happening, with Annual Passholder previews coming up. We got to take our first ride today, and now we have a WHOLE ride-through for you!
Today is a BIG day in Disney World.
EPCOT
The highly anticipated attraction, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind has been in the works for quite some time, and we’ve been keeping you updated on all the progress. But, the wait is finally over because Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind officially opens TODAY in EPCOT and we’re bringing you with us to find out just exactly what that looks like!
The long-awaited Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind is only a few weeks away from finally opening in EPCOT! We’ve already seen what the Cast Member’s costumes look like, as well as the loading area, and the ride vehicles and we even got to RIDE IT for the first time today during a media preview event!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
So, aside from bringing you a look at the one-of-a-kind storyline and answering your questions about whether the omnicoaster will make you sick for the rest of the day, we’re sharing a look at what might be your favorite part of the entire ride!
Since spring break first arrived, Disney World has been BUSY.
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
That means it’s becoming more difficult for guests to get park pass reservations — we’ve seen so many dates fill up FAST. One date that we saw fill up REALLY fast was May 27th for EPCOT, which is the day the new Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind attraction opens there. But now, those passes are available again!
A Disney World ride has reopened EARLY!
Tree of Life
Sometimes, Disney will shut down an attraction for some spiffying up. That’s what happened to Kali River Rapids, which closed in January for its typical winter maintenance. It was scheduled to reopen on April 2nd (and that’s what Disney’s official refurbishment calendar still says!), but shh: we’re gonna let ya in on a little secret. Kali River Rapids is ALREADY back open!
