food IS a theme park
We’re closing the book on 2025 and getting ready for all kinds of Disney planning in 2026!
D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event
There’s A LOT happening at the Disney Parks worldwide in 2026! Theme park expansions, new restaurants, new and returning food and merch offerings, ride changes, etc. — there is so much going on when you take a peek at the calendar. However, we’re already looking ahead to the MOST IMPORTANT Disney event being held AWAY from the theme parks!
We may be closing the books on 2025, but Disney still found time to cram in a few big announcements!
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
From Olaf robots to Disney Parks expansion updates, Disney has kept us on our toes the past several weeks. In fact, it’s been a major news year altogether — especially at Disney World. We’ve said hello to new offerings, goodbye to park staples, and a December announcement revealed that we’ll be saying BOTH hello AND goodbye to versions of a popular Disney World roller coaster!
Few things are more important than a great pair of shoes during a Disney World vacation. Fortunately, Amazon offers plenty of great options — including some of our favorites!
Hoka Women’s Clifton 10 Sneakers
We visit Disney World EVERY DAY, so believe us when we say the right pair of kicks can save your trip. Fortunately, some of our favorites over the years are currently on sale on Amazon — let’s take a look!
Some big changes are coming to Disney World in 2026, and they’ll be here before you know it!
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
A lot is happening that will cause closures in Disney World to the point that some people are considering 2026 to be a skippable year at the theme park resort. In fact, Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be home to plenty of those changes, including a notable closure set to begin in March 2026. Let’s see how this massive closure (and several others) might affect your upcoming Disney World vacation.
Make sure you read this before you make a mistake and pay full price for a Disney gift card!
Gift Card!
For the most part, whenever you buy a Disney gift card, you’re essentially converting regular dollars into Disney-approved credits at an equal value. With that said, there are still ways to save and even make cash back on Disney gift card purchases, especially if you shop with Target and/or Sam’s Club!
Believe it or not, it’s already almost time for another festival to grace EPCOT!
EPCOT Festival of the Arts!
EPCOT’s International Festival of the Holidays is about to wrap up on December 30th, and it’s been an excellent experience so far. With that said, we all know that when one EPCOT festival ends, another is getting ready to take over. Such is the case with the upcoming 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, which is set to totally transform this Disney World theme park.
The new year is bringing tons of changes to Disney World — including some of its perks!
Typhoon Lagoon
We LOVE a good Disney World perk, and Disney World gave us a really useful hotel perk in 2025 that allows any guest staying at a Disney World resort hotel FREE ENTRY into one of Disney’s two water parks. While the perk was available year-round in 2025, that’s about to change beginning next week.
This new Disney souvenir is BEGGING us to buy it…even if our wallets vehemently disagree…

We’ve seen just about every Disney souvenir, but once in a while, one comes along that blows our socks off. While we appreciate the classics like Minnie ears and Disney pins, some Disney souvenirs are built differently. Sometimes, a souvenir comes along that costs MORE THAN A DISNEY WORLD ANNUAL PASS…and we kinda get it!

Okay, we can’t be the only people to experience this weird airplane phenomenon.
Air travel
If you ever visit a Disney Park, chances are you’ll walk by some of the DFB team. We — quite literally — visit the parks every single day. And our Disney days aren’t just limited to the domestic parks. We love to visit the Disney parks overseas to stay up-to-date, experience new offerings, and continue to bolster our knowledge on all things Disney. While we fly internationally often enough, we’re still sometimes shocked by some cultural differences — even ones as small as butter!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
