food IS a theme park
If there’s one thing we know about Disney fans, it’s that we always have opinions on what’s next for the parks.

Whether it’s a new ride, a revamped land, or a totally fresh idea, we’re full of suggestions. With all that in mind, we wanted to find out from you what expansion you’d like to see next in Disney World, you did not disappoint.
We’re turning to YOU, our readers, for some Disney World tips!
Welcome to Disney World!
We’ve become experts when it comes to planning Disney World trips, but we also know that our readers provide so much valuable input on what makes a Disney vacation great. We asked you about some of your favorite CHAOTIC Disney World tips, and ya’ll didn’t disappoint!
Disney World is supposed to be the Most Magical Place on Earth, but let’s be real – there are some things that can be straight-up terrifying.
Magic Kingdom Crowds
With that in mind, we wanted to find out from you what your takes were on the situation. Well, we asked and you delivered!
Disney World is known for its incredible perks, especially for guests staying at Disney-owned hotels.
Blizzard Beach
From early park entry to extended evening hours, these little bonuses can add serious value to your trip. But there’s one perk that might be slipping under the radar for half of Disney hotel guests, and it’s a FREEBIE that could save you big money. Thinking about that, we were wondering how many of you were making use of the free water park perk, so we reached out to you to get your thoughts. Well, we asked and you delivered!
We love eating in Disney World restaurants, which is probably why our middle name is “Food.”
Cinderella at Cinderella’s Royal Table
But when you dine at Disney World restaurants, you do agree to abide by the rules. Many restaurants are going to require an advance dining reservation (or if you’re willing to chance it, trying the Mobile Walk-Up Waitlist, if any spots are available). You also need to cancel your reservation within a certain amount of time if you don’t want your credit card to get charged. We turned to you, our DFB readers, to ask you about the restaurant rule you would like to see slashed, and you told us! So let’s see what you said.
If you know anything about Disney, it’s that they’re no stranger to making waves with their big decisions, and the latest announcement about Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser has definitely left a lot of us Disney Adults divided.
Galactic Starcruiser
If you’ve been following along, you already know that the ultra-immersive, ultra-expensive Star Wars hotel experience didn’t exactly go as planned. Less than two years after opening, Disney made the call to shut it down, leaving many of us wondering what would become of the elaborately themed space. Now, we have our answer – it’s being turned into Disney office space. The place where guests once embarked on a two-night Star Wars adventure will soon house Disney employees. With all that in mind, we wanted to find out from you what your takes were on the situation. Well, we asked and you delivered!
Value is in the eye of the beholder.
Magic Kingdom
It’s no secret that a Walt Disney World vacation while staying on property is an expensive proposition, and honestly always has been (comparatively speaking). That said staying on Disney property has traditionally offered a slew of perks that “made up” for the price difference. Those perks have evolved over the years, with some being changed or eliminated entirely while other offerings have been introduced and tweaked. So, what Disney perks make vacations better and which are “worthless”? We recently asked our readers, and we got a HUGE – – and in some ways unexpected – – response.
People love to complain about Disney World. And, while there are plenty of things to complain about, sometimes it’s nice to just remember the reasons why we all love it in the first place.
Cinderella Castle
We go to Disney World every day and we’ve overheard plenty of complaints, confusion, conspiracies, and a whole lot more. But, we wanted to hear about the wholesome moments that pop up every now and again in the parks — so we turned to you, our readers!
This has been the year of BIG Disney World announcements.

We finally got more details about the DinoLand, U.S.A. replacement in Animal Kingdom. We learned about a Monsters, Inc. land coming to Hollywood Studios. Magic Kingdom is getting a huge Cars expansion PLUS a Villains-themed land (FINALLY). Disney has NOT been playing around. We also found out about a project that we thought was shelved that has been resurrected: a project now called Lakeshore Lodge. We asked you, our readers, what you thought about it, and you told us!
Does Disney World have a Lightning Lane problem? Many of our readers seem to think so.
Lightning Lane
Disney World has a long history of skip-the-line systems. More recently, we saw Genie+ get replaced by Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass. Then we saw the introduction of the pricey Lightning Lane Premier Pass. With Disney shaking things up significantly with the Lightning Lane process, we reached out to you, our readers, to get a litmus test on how everyone’s feeling about Lightning Lane Multi Pass especially, and ya’ll had some thoughts.
