food IS a theme park
It’s a busy time in Disney World, and with that comes lots of crowds and lots of lines.
Cinderella Castle
This week we were surprised by a popular ride’s wait time, Disney World waterpark news, and the price of a tiny new souvenir. Check out all the unexpected Disney World news here!
It’s no secret that things have been very busy at Disney World this holiday season!
Yesterday’s Crowds in Galaxy’s Edge
We’ve seen loads of crowds over the past few weeks and long waits for some attractions. But today, we think we’ve seen one of the longest wait times we’ve seen in a VERY long time!
Disney World is changing all the time, with new attractions, reopening restaurants, and ground-breaking hotels.
Hollywood Studios
But there are a lot of smaller changes as well that you might not notice! These changes happen almost daily, and here at DFB we do our best to keep you updated with all the latest news. Today, we’re visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios to see what’s new in this park in terms of merchandise, entertainment, construction, and more! [Read more…]

The future of Disney is all about the cutting edge of technology with the merge of technological and physical experiences, from rides and attractions to accessories and more in Disney Parks. So…what does all of this mean? Let’s go over it!
We got a sudden surprise earlier this week when the announcement was made that Disney Genie and Genie+ would launch in just two days at the Disneyland Resort! The complimentary planning tool, along with its paid counterpart that officially replaces FastPass+, was rolled out in Disney World back in October.
Hello, Genie!
Since then, we’ve learned all of the ins and outs of both of these new programs, including how to use the free version to its full potential and which rides you should book first! Let’s see what Disney Genie and Genie+ are like in Disneyland, what the major differences are, and any NEW tips we may have learned along the way!

The new planning system is making its debut in the Disneyland app today. Genie is a free planning tool used to help you create your best day in Disneyland. Also launching today is Disney Genie+, which is replacing MaxPass in Disneyland and costs $20 per day, per person. Genie+ will give you access to reservations for the Lightning Lanes (old MaxPass lanes) of several rides in the parks. There are also Individual Attraction Selections, which are high demand rides that you can pay for individually to use their Lightning Lanes. One of those rides is Rise of the Resistance, and we just found out the cost for opening day!
Disney Genie launched in Disney World a few months ago and now the service has made it to Disneyland Resort. The new system offers free services that help you plan your day and paid services that let you skip the standby lines for popular attractions (Genie+).
Rise of the Resistance
The price of Genie+ includes Lightning Lane access for many of the rides at Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure, but there are a few Individual Attraction Selections that are priced separately. Now, we know just how much you’ll pay to skip the lines at these rides!
Disney World is home to dozens of rides across its four theme parks!
Big Thunder Mountain
Some of these rides are classics, lasting for more than 50 years, while others are brand-new, drawing in guests to see what the hype is all about. The rides are perhaps the biggest draw for guests to come to Disney World, but some of them are a little weird…if you really think about it. Today, we’re describing Disney rides literally, so you understand exactly what we mean!
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance continues to be an incredibly popular ride in the Disney parks.
Rise of the Resistance
In Disney World, the virtual queue for Rise of the Resistance has currently been suspended, but guests hoping to ride this attraction in Disneyland still need to grab one of those elusive boarding groups. But, soon, things in Disneyland might be changing!
Disney parks are regularly coming out with new attractions and experiences for guests.
Rise of the Resistance
With such a large company making so many leaps in the creative technologies industry, Disney sometimes runs into legal disputes over creative ownership and more. Now, Disney has been involved in a lawsuit over a certain system in Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance!
