food IS a theme park
Just when we thought we had seen all sorts of hardcore Disney souvenirs, our minds were blown once again.
Let’s go shopping!
Sure, we still love a good ol’ pair of Minnie ears and you’ll often find us rocking a Loungefly bag in the parks — but there are some Disney souvenirs and merchandise you just might not want to bring to the parks and we think we found it. Just trust us on this one.
Pack it up, Amazon. Go home, Target! Disney just released the BEST holiday advent calendar we’ve EVER seen, and there’s no way you can top it.
Santa Goofy!
Each year, we look out for the best new advent calendars. There are a few returning favorites this year (looking at you, LEGO!), but Disney’s latest 24-day advent calendar is our new favorite. Be warned, though. The price is in the triple-digits, people.
Disney World’s pay-to-skip-the-line service just changed over the summer, and now a new service will soon be available for select visitors.
Lightning Lane
Genie+ is no longer, and the service was replaced with Lightning Lane Multi Pass. The new service is similar to Disney World’s old service, FastPass+. It unlike FastPass+, costs money though.With Multi Pass, you can now make your Lightning Lane selections in advance, and rides are split into a tier system. This change also makes it easier to start to budget for your vacation as prices are posted beforehand instead of the day of. With this change, Individual Lightning Lane transitioned into Lightning Lane Single Pass. Single Pass still works the same way as before, but just like Multi Pass, you can purchase and make your selections in advance. Well, now, a third Lightning Lane option will soon be introduced, and we have some not-so-great news about it.
Staying at a Disney World hotel comes with plenty of perks.
Art of Animation
But if you ask us, the BEST perk might just be Early Theme Park Entry. This benefit lets all Disney World hotel guests into the theme parks earlier than non-hotel guests, which can be a great jumpstart to your day. But, on a recent visit to Hollywood Studios, we noticed it wasn’t just those staying at Disney World hotels who were allowed in before the park opened.
It was love at first sight when we first spotted a NEW Disney Loungefly collection and couldn’t peel our eyes away!
Stars in our eyes
We just uncovered a classic Disney character Loungefly collection on Amazon that will blow your minds, but NOT your budget! Let’s take a closer look at it all. [Read more…]
Get ready for some spooky (yet amazing!!) Disney souvenirs!
The Disneyland Hotel
It may seem like Disneyland is ready to move on to the holiday season, but we can confirm that the resort is still celebrating Halloween Time. Of course, this means special decorations, limited-time treats, and popular souvenirs all themed around Halloween that are sure to fly off shelves. Speaking of which, a few limited-edition souvenirs are coming to the resort NEXT WEEK that will attract Disney collectors far and wide!
There are a lot of changes coming to Disneyland Resort these days!
California Adventure
Several construction projects are underway, from the updates to Critter Country to the queue changes at Haunted Mansion. But before all those things are complete, a big change is coming to Disneyland Resort NEXT WEEK.
Your 2025 trip to Disney World is almost here! (Can you believe it?)
EPCOT
As we were saying, with your trip right around the corner, you’ve really got no time to waste making all the preparations for the trip like what you’ll be packing, what you’ll be eating, and where you’ll be staying. Speaking of where you’ll stay, there are a couple of Disney World hotels that you’ll want to steer well clear of in 2025. Let’s go over them!
Is there an app that you consider an absolute lifesaver as well as a total headache? Well, Disney World app, we’re looking at you.
Like all apps, the My Disney Experience app can go through its little glitches and frustrating moments, but of course, we do love how easy-breezy it can make our day at the parks. From managing Lighting Lanes to booking table service reservations, and so much more, this app is the ultimate tool to have during your Disney vacation. However, one of our DFB team members recently came across a message when opening up the app that you may encounter. Here’s what you need to know!
Disney World does a lot to keep its rides in tip-top shape. Sometimes that means that rides will close so Disney can add some little extra touches, as well as do needed maintenance. Disney refers to this as “refurbishment.”
The Jungle Cruise will be back soon!
This summer, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster reopened in Disney World after a lengthy refurbishment with some small touch-ups. We’ve also seen some rides reopen with a few changes, although most changes made during refurbishment aren’t something you might even notice. Recently, Disney closed Jungle Cruise in Magic Kingdom for refurbishment, and just after the ride’s reopening yesterday, we got a sneak peek at some of the little touches Disney added to the ride.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
