food IS a theme park
Our DFB Readers are like us — obsessed with everything Disney.

And that means that like us, we had a feeling you had pets named after Disney characters. So we asked you on Twitter to share your pet photos with us, and YOU DID NOT DISAPPOINT!
One of the best parts about Disney World is that it’s always changing! New rides, snacks, and shows are constantly coming to parks.
Cinderella Castle
Sadly, one of the WORST things about Disney World…is ALSO that it’s always changing. Favorite attractions, snacks, and shows leave the parks all the time, gone forever. We took to Facebook to see what our readers (that’s you!) wanted to see return to Disney World! Here are a few of the most popular picks.
When it comes to Disney World, it might seem like no matter what, the trip will be perfect! Sadly, that’s not the case: sometimes things go awry like when a ride breaks down or when it just won’t stop raining.
Magic Kingdom
However, there are some mistakes that you can AVOID that will help your trip be a success. Over on our Facebook page, we asked our readers what their BIGGEST Disney World mistakes were — here’s what they said!
Disney World has a LOT of rides; there’s something for everyone!
Cinderella Castle
But just as there’s something that will make everyone a happy guest, some rides just aren’t everyone’s favorites. We asked our readers on Facebook which Disney World rides they’d be TOTALLY okay not going on again — and we got some surprising answers.
When it comes to visiting Disney World, it usually never feels like there’s enough time to do everything.
Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom
And there isn’t! Disney World is huge and full of so many activities, attractions, events, entertainment, and more that it’s impossible to do it all in one trip. We recommend making a list of your priorities and then figuring out what to do. But you also need to know when not to WASTE time on your trip, right?
This won’t come as a shock, but Disney World is FILLED with iconic attractions, events, restaurants, snacks, and of course, RIDES!
Pirates of the Caribbean
And one surefire way to make rides even more fun is by comparing them to each other and asking our readers to choose their faves!
A lot of people loved to use the Dining Plan on their Disney World vacations.
Chicken Strips at Cosmic Ray’s
With the Disney Dining Plan, guests could basically pre-pay for their meals, drinks, and snacks by purchasing one of four different plans. Then during their vacation, guests would have “credits” to use for snacks, quick-service meals, and table-service meals. When Disney World reopened last year, they did not bring back the Dining Plan. So we asked all of you whether you thought the plan would return this year, and if not, when do you think it’ll come back?
The Disney Genie service just launched in Disney World, and now you can pay for access to Lightning Lanes (previously known as FastPass+ lanes) for qualifying rides and attractions.
A Disney Genie Pamphlet
The Genie+ service is $15 per person, per day for over 40 different attractions, but with Individual Attraction Selection (or pay-per-ride) you pay for each ride individually, and the pay-per-ride premium attractions are 8 of the most popular rides in Disney World. So how do you decide which rides to choose? Which rides are worth the extra cost? Well, we asked you, dear readers, to vote for which Individual Attraction Selection rides you would actually pay for!
Disney World’s Genie feature is officially live in the parks now.

Guests can buy Genie+ for $15 per ticket, per day to skip the line for most Disney World rides. But the two most popular rides in each park have a separate fee to skip the line. These rides use Individual Attraction Selection (or Pay-Per-Ride), and the fees range in price from $7 to $15 right now. So how long would the wait have to be for you to pay to skip the line? We asked our readers, and here’s what you said. [Read more…]
