food IS a theme park
In January, a series of devastating wildfires destroyed properties throughout Southern California, particularly in the Los Angeles area.

The Walt Disney Company, which has long-time ties to the Los Angeles area, made a $15 million commitment to help L.A. recover from the disaster. The company recently announced that $5 million will support the reopening of Altadena’s Charles White Park, which was destroyed by the fires.
The Disney World Monorail may be one of the most beloved forms of transportation at the resort. However, sometimes things do go wrong. We’ve seen issues where the Monorail has temporarily closed, and well, these things happen.

However, this morning, a fire was reported on the Disney World monorail by @CHRIS_MAGIC_DCL, although by the time it was reported, it seems the fire has been put out.
You might not realize it, but there’s way more to Disney Springs than just eating and shopping (although, the eating and shopping there is SO good, right?). Disney Springs also often has some of the best entertainment you can find in Disney World with its Cirque du Soleil show, Drawn To Life.
Drawn To Life
If you’ve never seen Drawn To Life, or perhaps if you want to see it again, there is now a HUGE sale happening with tickets for the show that could save you up to 30% off.
Are you planning a trip to Disney World? You’ve probably already started looking into things like how long to stay and what tickets you need, but have you chosen a hotel yet?

If you haven’t — and you’re open to staying off-property (but still close to Disney World), you might want to consider a stay at the award-winning Good Neighbor hotel Conrad Orlando, which is part of the massive Evermore Resort. If so, you’ll want to take a look at a new deal the hotel is offering for Black Friday: up to 40% off rooms!
Yes, yes, we know…this is a Disney blog, but we also love other things, too. And let’s just say that we are BIG fans of Wicked. So can we talk about Wicked for a hot minute? We PROMISE we have a good reason.

Now, of course, we’ve already visited the updated Wicked: The Experience at Universal Orlando, where we enjoyed seeing some new additions. But we also recently got to tap into our inner Shiz University student to try some new Wicked snacks in Disney Springs. Yes, you read that right…there are Wicked snacks in Disney World!
‘Tis the season for all things red and green and HOLIDAY SHOPPING. Well, okay, holiday shopping can sometimes be a little stressful, especially if you’re trying to find the best deals, so we’re trying to find those deals for you.

Santa!
However, there may be one activity you’ll want to do above ALL else during the holidays, and that’s meeting the big guy himself. No, we’re not talking about Mickey. We’re talking about Santa. Well, if you want to have some one-on-one time with the Jolly Old Elf in Disney World, we’re going to tell you where you can do that.
Happy Holidays to all our DFB friends. Now, ’tis the season for all things holly and jolly, right?
