food IS a theme park
2026 is the year of analog activities! We’re talking long walks in the theme parks with more books, journals, scrapbooks, and more.

We love being online, but this year, we’re rededicating ourselves to having a few hobbies without screens as well. One of those hobbies? Building LEGOs with our friends and families! It’s become something of an obsession of ours, and this new Winnie the Pooh LEGO set is exactly what we want for our birthday.
Disneyland is celebrating a LOT of things right now, including its 70th Anniversary, with a celebration that will last through August 9th. However, February also brings about Celebrate Soulfully, as well as Valentine’s Day.

These celebrations mean one BIG thing: new treats throughout the resort! Now, we’ve already tried our share of 70th Anniversary treats, so now we’re trying a new Celebrate Soulfully snack (well, more like a meal) and some new Valentine’s Day offerings. So come with us as we taste our way through Disneyland’s new limited-time treats.
We talk about our love for Disney snacks, rides, and overall theme park incredible-ness, but we also love something we don’t talk about very often — Bath and Body Works! When our teams aren’t in the parks, we’re back home writing everything up, and more likely than not, a candle is burning in the kitchen.
Bath & Body Works
When we can’t be inthe parks, we like to keep the magic going at home, so we asked our team what scents from Bath and Body Works smell like Disney World, and after a long debate, we found seven scents that we can’t live without.
Well, it’s no secret that Valentine’s Day is coming up soon, and if you’re like us, you’re struggling to find the perfect gift for that Disney Adult in your life.

We get it! When it comes to buying things for Disney Adults, it’s hard because, well, we Disney Adults have probably already bought a lot of things for ourselves. But if you’re looking for a unique gift, we’ve got the perfect gift set for you in the DFB Store…a Disney Adult baseball cap and a signed copy of our very own AJ Wolfe’s New York Times bestselling book, Disney Adults: Exploring (And Falling In Love With) A Magical Subculture.
For all you Disney Visa Cardmembers out there, we have some exciting news. Disney and Chase are launching a new Disney Visa card!

The Disney Inspire Visa Card launches today and will be the highest-tier card. It has a $149 annual fee compared to the Disney Premier Visa Card’s $49 fee, but here are every reason why it’s so worth the price difference.
The DFB team is in Disney World every single day, so we can bring you the latest news and stories from inside the parks. During our time, we have learned A LOT about what to do on your Disney day, and we’re sharing those with you.
Magic Kingdom
Our team is in the parks constantly, trying new foods, testing strategies, and learning what actually works (and what definitely doesn’t) when it comes to navigating your day at Disney World. Because we’re there day in and day out, these are the nine rules we follow every single day in the parks, and trust us, you don’t want to ignore them.
While we adore the Walt Disney World Monorail, don’t get us wrong, sometimes it’s not the fastest way to get to Magic Kingdom.
Look at that line!
The lines for the Express Monorail can easily get backed up during busy periods, and sometimes you don’t want to have to take the Resort Monorail to make stops before getting to your destination. If that’s the case, your next option is the Ferryboat, which we’re also a big fan of! While the Ferryboat currently holds TONS of people, we’ve still experienced some pretty intense backups when loading for the boat from Magic Kingdom to head back to the TTC (especially when the Monorail is down). Soon, that may no longer be as big of an issue thanks to this new expansion project!
We got some massive news from The Walt Disney Company this week. Disney started out the week by giving us the rundown on how its finances were doing, especially with how much revenue it’s made from the parks, streaming, and movies. However, the biggest news was Disney’s announcement of its next CEO, Josh D’Amaro.

D’Amaro will officially become Disney’s CEO on March 18th, 2026, taking over the role from Disney’s current CEO, Bob Iger. The two men recently appeared on Good Morning America, and D’Amaro had a lot to say about his new role as head of the company, as well as some things about the future of Disney.
The internet has been pretty torn over the announcement of Josh D’Amaro becoming the new CEO of The Walt Disney Company, which will become effective on March 18th, 2026, and current CEO Bob Iger will become a Senior Advisor until his contract expires on December 31st, 2026.

Some people are looking forward to what changes he may implement in the company that would affect consumers in the parks and beyond, while others are nervous. But what may we actually see happen as a result of D’Amaro becoming CEO in March? We’ve done some research and chatted with our team of experts, and here are the three things we’re expecting to see pretty early on as he takes over this new position.
