food IS a theme park
Hey, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video covering all the latest Disney news!
EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival
We’ve got the FULL MENUS for EPCOT’S Flower & Garden Festival, virtual queues are now GONE in Disney World (for the time being), Team Member previews for Epic Universe are happening RIGHT NOW and a second generation of interactive wands are available at Universal starting TODAY.
There’s a BIG celebration coming to Disney World, and you don’t even need a park ticket to visit! Disney Springs is hosting a special event at Raglan Road, and we’re expecting great food, talented performers, and a LOT of green outfits.
Raglan Road
The 2025 St. Patrick’s festival is happening at Raglan Road from March 14th to March 17 — that’s a whole weekend of celebrations! You might want to book a reservation NOW; this event tends to be popular, and we have a feeling there will be a lot of Disney fans at this year’s festival.
Get ready to feel some Sweet Emotion, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster fans. The iconic coaster is changing in a BIG way. Say goodbye to Aerosmith; Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the gang will be moving right along to Sunset Boulevard to take over the roller coaster! So, what’s with all the changes? Well, Disney announced that a new Monsters, Inc. themed land is coming to Hollywood Studios, and it’s taking the place of the Muppets Courtyard on Grand Avenue. This has led to some serious theme park rearranging, including changes at Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster.

So far, Disney has been pretty quiet about the changes planned for Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, but a new permit indicates the first official changes are on the way. Disney just filed a permit to repaint the guitar at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

Okay, Target! We see what you’re doing. You stepped up your game recently, and we’re impressed with the new collection.
Target

Calling all Disney fans! It’s time for a little spring cleaning. That means out with the old, in with the new!
Loungefly bags in EPCOT
If you’re planning a trip to Disney World, you’re going to need a reliable park bag. Luckily, we did the work for you! We found five ADORABLE Disney Loungefly bags on sale now. Come with us, and let’s take a look!
Picture this: it’s a bright, sunny day in Disney World. You packed your favorite pair of sunglasses, and you’re wearing a sparkly pair of Minnie ears. But — oh no! Those ears are really starting to pinch your head, and your sunglasses are digging into your skull, thanks to that ear headband. It’s time to take it off.
So cute…but so painful!
Yeah, yeah. “Beauty is pain.” But at some point, the ears have to come off. We’ve got more important things to worry about in Disney World than a mouse ear headache. But what to do with those ears now that they’re not resting on your head? Should we shove them in our backpack? There’s got to be a better way!
Ah..the life of a celebrity. We bet they NEVER have to wait in a standby line for Flight of Passage and will probably never know the pain of having to stand on a full bus at the end of the night. What a life! Imagine being escorted through the park with not one — not two — but THREE V.I.P. Tour Guides. That’s a whole army; are they standing in some kind of triangle formation to block celebrities from all angles?! We have questions.

We may not have reached celebrity status quite yet, but we do know a thing or two about the life of a celebrity on vacation at Disney World. Thanks to our team of former Cast Members (and personal experience on a V.I.P. Tour), we know alllll the top-secret locations that regular guests don’t have access to in Disney World. Can ya keep a secret?
People spend MONTHS — sometimes years — planning their dream wedding. Maybe you’re all about the food (same). Maybe you want the perfect bouquet of flowers. Maybe you dream of a destination wedding, say, in Disney World? Well, Disney Fairytale Weddings has you covered! And it turns out a LOT goes into having the perfect Disney wedding. We got a firsthand look!
This is going to be FUN!
We visited the Disney Weddings Showcase at Disneyland Resort, where we got an up-close look at the gowns, desserts, and decorations. It was a BLAST! Wanna see some of our favorite parts? Spoiler alert: there’s a Star Wars MOUSSE involved, people.
Who doesn’t love a good nap? Doesn’t it feel nice to lie down, rest your head, and snuggle up under a warm blanket? What can we say? We love to sleep!
Ah…it feels good to lie down!
Sometimes, though, it’s nice to get away on a little vacation. Now, don’t get us wrong, we love to explore the Disney parks and see as much as possible on vacation, but this new “Sleep Tourism” trend is seriously tempting us to stop planning and start…sleeping!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
