food IS a theme park
We’ll be honest: we’ve started counting down the days to Christmas, but it’s WAY more fun when you have an advent calendar to go along with it!
Christmas in Magic Kingdom
Disney has dropped a LOT of advent calendars for this upcoming holiday season, and it’s been hard to choose which one we’re rolling with come December. That decision got even harder with the release of this NEW Bluey Advent Calendar!
Being a D23 member comes with so many special perks and exclusive opportunities! If you’ve ever wanted to join a Disney fan club, let this be your sign to do it. Two words: WORTH. IT. Want a perfect example of why it pays to be a D23 member? Get ready.
D23
Disney announced that D23 members are invited to a special taping of The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration, held at the Disneyland Resort! If you’re unfamiliar with this annual event, let’s just say it’s a star-studded spectacular with a LOT of holiday cheer.
A Disney World trip means long days in the Florida heat, surprise rainstorms, and endless photo ops — and the last thing you want is to be unprepared.

Lion King tree detail at 2024 Christmas Tree Stroll
We’re ready for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights, and we’re ready for all the holiday snacks (of course!). However, we’re also ready to see all the gooooorgeous holiday decor in the parks and at Disney Springs. Speaking of Disney Springs, one of our favorite FREE activities is to walk around the Christmas Tree Stroll. Well, we’ve got some good news about that: the Christmas Tree Stroll is returning this year.
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Hold onto your hats, folks — big changes are brewing across the Disney parks! Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will be closing for a MAJOR update, Magic Kingdom’s about to get a ride overhaul, and did Disney just quietly drop the name of the brand-new land in Hollywood Studios? Plus, Universal’s testing a game-changing Express Pass that could shake up your next vacation.
MOOOOOM…PHINEAS AND FERB ARE DROPPING NEW EPISODES!
Phineas and Ferb
Is it just us, or is Phineas and Ferb just making a triumphant comeback out of nowhere?! First, Season 5 of the beloved show arrived on Disney+ on June 6th, 2025, and then the two brothers made an appearance at EPCOT during the summer. Now, Disney announced that MORE new episodes are on the horizon!
We can’t believe it’s been almost a YEAR since we saw the first part of Wicked in theaters. Thankfully, the second part is about to debut, and you KNOW we’re running straight to the movies to see the next installment. It’s been hard to escape the promotion of the Wicked movies — even our grocery store mac and cheese got a pink and green Wicked makeover. So, it’s safe to say the movies are…🎶”popular…you’re gonna be popular.“🎶 (Sorry, we had to!)
Elphaba and Glinda meet and greet
Wicked: For Good will be released in theaters on November 21st, but Universal Orlando just announced something VERY exciting, and it’s starting even sooner! Beginning October 31st, a new immersive experience will arrive at Wicked: The Experience inside Universal Studios!
There are a lot of moving parts at Disneyland that you need to be aware of before your next trip.
Sleeping Beauty Castle!
You’ve packed your bags, hopped on a flight, made your way into your hotel room, triple-checked that your park tickets are ready to go, and then walked down Main Street, U.S.A., only to find out that your favorite ride is closed for refurbishment. This experience is a real stinker and one we hope we can help you avoid. While we can’t stop things at Disneyland from closing down, we can give you advanced notice so that you’re totally prepared long before you even start packing.
Ahoy there, mateys! We’re dining in a pirate-themed restaurant that’s not The Beak and Barrel at Magic Kingdom.
Captain Jack’s
Over at Disneyland Paris, Captain Jack’s — Restaurant des Pirates is located in Adventureland and offers exotic seafood and Creole cooking in a bustling style tavern. Come along and join in on our incredible feast.
To quote Sam the Eagle, it’s time to salute all nations, but mostly to America. That’s because we’re headed straight into Liberty Square in Magic Kingdom, designed to throw us back to colonial America, complete with its colonial-style buildings and infamous brown river.
The Patriot’s Platter
But we’re not here to dilly dally. Oh no…we’re here to chow down on one of the only places in Disney World where you can get a holiday feast 365 days out of the year. Yep, we’re heading to Liberty Tree Tavern, so come join us!
