If you’ve been a DFB reader for any significant length of time, you know just how strong our opinions on Disney World pizza are.
Pizza at Disney World is hit or miss!
And if you’re new around here — just know that not all Disney World pizza is created equally. Some pizza is worth singing about from the mountaintops, while other slices belong in the bottom of the trash. All those years of trash-talking must have finally caught up with us because we’ve officially been sent a cease-and-desist order.
There’s a hot debate over which bag is best to bring to Disney World — and for the first time in a while, a new contender has emerged.
Cinderella Castle
Loungefly bags used to be everywhere you looked in the parks, and while you’ll still find PLENTY of Loungefly bags and ears, Lug bags are starting to proliferate around Disney World. We’re certainly not complaining, and now there’s another new Lug collection that’s caught our eye!
When it comes to unwinding after a long day, we love cozying up on the couch and popping something from Disney+ on the TV.

Now that the service has been combined with Hulu (for those who are subscribed to both streaming platforms!) there are plenty of things to watch. New titles are being added all the time — and one is coming soon that we’re pretty darn excited about!
Heads up, Star Wars fans!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
An incredibly important day is coming up soon — May the 4th! This unofficial Star Wars Day typically brings exclusive merchandise, entertainment, and of course, snacks to Disney World and we can’t wait. And now we officially know what sort of eats and treats are on the menu this year!
Road trips to Disney World can be just as exciting as the vacation itself!
Cars entering Magic Kingdom
Okay, that may be a slight exaggeration, but we can’t help feeling giddy when we know we’re on the way to the Most Magical Place on Earth. And, we especially love checking out the latest and greatest gas station snacks when we hit the road. Whether you’ll be on your way to Disney World or not, you can score free coffee from a popular gas station tomorrow — here’s how!
Staying at a Disney World hotel during your trip can make life so much easier.
Disney’s Riviera Resort
You can utilize Disney transportation, get free parking and early access to the parks, and get to dine at alllllll those delicious restaurants. But, every once in a while, staying at a Disney World hotel actually isn’t a dream come true — instead, it’s a nightmare. And we’ve experienced that firsthand.
It’s a great time to be a Disney World fan thanks to all the exciting new things happening all around the resort!
EPCOT
New hotel updates are coming to the Polynesian Village Resort, and new restaurants are popping up soon at the BoardWalk Inn, too. Not only that, but Disney announced that a popular EPCOT ride — Test Track — would be reimagined later this summer. And now, we’ve got a major update on the project!
Cast Members make the (Disney) World go round — it’s true!
We LOVE Cast Members!
We’re lucky to have a handful of former Disney World Cast Members on our team here at DFB, which means we get to know some behind-the-scenes info about certain attractions, restaurants, and more. We’ve brought you Magic Kingdom secrets and the rule every Cast Member is begging you not to break, but now we’re spilling the secrets on Cast Members themselves!
We’re not going to lie — we’re pretty impressed with the way people are constantly innovating and hacking the travel game.
Cinderella Castle
Traveling isn’t easy these days, and when you’re heading to Disney World you have to consider so many factors. Whether it’s a budget hack, a packing hack, or an outfit we keep seeing nearly everywhere we go — these are the latest Disney World travel trends we can totally get behind.
