food IS a theme park
At DFB, we’ve got a TEAM full of current and former Disney World cast members.

And our CMs can’t WAIT to spill what THEY believe are the BIGGEST mistakes that guests make in the parks on the DAILY.
A brand new area is coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios: get ready to step into The Walt Disney Studios when it officially opens in phases starting May 26th, 2026!
Walt Disney Studios is now open!
Animation Courtyard has been reimagined into The Walt Disney Studios as a special nod to the legendary Walt Disney Studios Lot in Burbank, California. But here, Disney Animation characters will leap off the screen and into our world. Ahead of the new land’s official opening, we got a FIRST LOOK inside!
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at Hollywood Studios is getting some major upgrades on May 22nd. The ride will get multiple new destinations inspired by classic Star Wars films and the brand-new The Mandalorian & Grogu movie!
Tattooine
We thought the role of an engineer was pretty boring – you just sit there and press a few buttons; it’s nowhere near as immersive as pilot or gunner. We just rode the new version of Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run early, and now we can say the engineer role is our new favorite spot!
If you’re a Disney World Annual Passholder heading to the parks this summer, you’re in for a TREAT.

The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is one of those Disney World events that sounds simple on paper. You walk around EPCOT. You eat little plates of food. You sip things. You nod like a serious culinary scholar while holding a tiny fork and standing next to a trash can. It’s culture.
It’s Time for the Food & Wine Festival!
But here’s the thing: Food & Wine can either feel like a glorious global snack crawl or a very expensive cardio experiment with more lines than your average DMV. The difference usually comes down to how well you use the perks, benefits, and sneaky little savings opportunities already available to you.
We’ve got MASSIVE news out of Disneyland Resort. It’s news we’ve been waiting on for literally YEARS, and now it’s finally time.
Disneyland
Ever since the parks reopened after the 2020 closures, there have been restrictions on when guests have been allowed to park hop between Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. Finally, after 5+ years, those restrictions are FINALLY going away!

May 26th cannot come soon enough in Disney World. While there are tons of openings happening, for me, I only have my eyes on the prize: Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets.
The penguins
The newly rethemed roller coaster opens to the public on May 26th in Hollywood Studios, but previews have given us an early look at the attraction and have made all of my Muppet dreams come true. Before you ride, there’s something you should know: there’s a LOT.
