food IS a theme park
The holiday season in Disney World can be a little busy, and we get it. The holidays are just SO SPECIAL in Disney World, especially in Magic Kingdom, which is why so many people want to visit during this time.
Christmas in Magic Kingdom
That’s especially true on days like Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve, and well, if you have plans to visit Magic Kingdom on those days, you might just be out of luck if you’re a Disney World Annual Passholder. We’re going to tell you why.
Okay, so if you’ve ever put together even one LEGO set, you’re probably already hooked on LEGO. Well, with us all being Disney adults, there’s no shortage of Disney LEGO sets, including sets for pretty much all ages and skill levels.

Well, even MORE new Disney LEGO sets have dropped, and there are so many that we can’t even keep up with all of them. So if you love LEGO as much as we do, we’re sharing all these new sets with you, as well as where you can buy them online. Also, don’t forget that LEGO sets make great gifts, too!
Happy Holidays from all of us at DFB. As you may know, the holiday season is in full swing in Disney World, and we’ve been making our way around Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Jollywood Nights, and the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays to get you reviews of ALL the special holiday food and drinks.
Spot the hidden Mickey on our snack?
We’re also spending time in the parks and Disney Springs trying out all the holiday food and drinks available there, and now, we’re heading to Disney’s Animal Kingdom to tell you about a few NEW holiday treats, as well as some treats celebrating Zootopia 2 and Avatar: Fire and Ash. So are these new treats worth your time and money? Let’s find out!
We are probably always going to be singing the praises of La Cava del Tequila in EPCOT, and we’re not the only ones. You see, celebrities love La Cava, too, so much that several have even created their own drinks for this popular bar.
The Standing Ovation
For example, La Cava’s Black Magic Margarita is Neil Patrick Harris’ drink. Then, you’ve also got The Lily, created by Lily Aldridge. Well, now, Jordan Fisher (yep, you may know him as the voice of Happily Ever After, but he also has some serious Broadway roles on his resume) has his own drink at La Cava, and we stopped by the bar to try it out.
The holiday season means pretty decorations, meeting with Santa, eating all kinds of great holiday foods, and so much more.

It also means you have an excuse to go shopping, even if it’s for yourself or for your loved ones. Well, if you want to save some money on that shopping, a new Disney+ perk has now gone live that will save you some money at Nordstrom.
Something new is coming to Disney World…okay, well, a lot of new things are coming to Disney World, but we want to chat about something new coming to Disney Springs.

Back in February 2025, we learned that LEVEL99 would likely be taking over the building that was once the NBA Experience in Disney Springs. In September, we finally got confirmation that this was actually happening, and shortly after that, we started seeing signs of construction around the building, complete with a LEVEL99 marquee. Well, now, we have an idea of when this new experience will open: 2026.
We’ve been eating a lot of holiday treats in Disney World, including treats at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Jollywood Nights, and the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays. That means we’ve tried a lot of peppermint-flavored things at this point.
Care for a slice of cake?
However, we just had a slice of cake at The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers at Disney’s BoardWalk that blows away all its peppermint-flavored competition, so let’s talk about it.
We’re heading into one of the busiest seasons of the year in Disney World. The holiday season is a great time to visit the parks, what with all the holiday decor, Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, Jollywood Nights, and the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays. However, this time can also be very crowded, especially when you get closer to Christmas Day.
Lightning Lane at Peter Pan’s Flight
Well, ahead of Christmas Day, on December 20th, we spotted some of the highest Lightning Lane Multi Pass prices we’ve seen all year, which is a good indication that Disney World is expecting some good crowds on that day.

Now, we were at the festival on DAY ONE checking out everything, but we were also spending some time checking out changes to Disney World restaurant menus. So let’s see what changed this week.
