food IS a theme park
We’re constantly on the lookout for new food in Disney World!
Saratoga Springs Resort
Whether that’s new snack items in the parks, updated menus at table service restaurants, or delicious offerings at an EPCOT festival, there’s a LOT to eat in Disney World. And now, we’ve heard that a hotel restaurant is about to overhaul its menu!
There are so many things to enjoy at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, but one of the big draws is the chance to go trick-or-treating INSIDE Magic Kingdom (talk about an epic Halloween experience).
Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party
All kinds of fun candy from the party’s sponsor — Mars Wrigley — will be provided to you at various locations throughout the park, so you can fill up on all the sweet treats your body can handle. But just where are these candy spots located? We’ve got the answer!
There are a lot of things you can do in Disney World outside the parks…and we mean a LOT.
Bungalows at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Outside of the four main parks there are dozens of hotels, two water parks, Disney Springs, golf courses, mini golf courses, the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, and much more. It would take you weeks, possibly months, to do everything. But the good news is — you don’t have to be staying on property to knock most of those activities off your to-do list!
We’ve got some BAD NEWS for those who were hoping to get on the Brightline Train to Orlando International Airport soon.

Brightline had previously indicated that they planned to start service between Orlando and South Florida in the second quarter of 2023. Later, tickets for the train service were put on sale for dates beginning September 1st, but Brightline suggested that service could begin sooner and those earlier tickets would be added to the site once they got closer to the inaugural rides. But now it seems things have CHANGED.
Celebrating Halloween in August is the new norm — at least if you operate on Disney World’s calendar.
Happy Halloween!
Halloween decorations are already adorning the buildings that line Main Street, U.S.A., we’ve seen LOADS of spooky new merchandise, and we can hardly wait for the very first Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party of the year on August 11th. If you’re planning to be at Disney World this Halloween season, one important thing to remember to pack is a park bag that will hold all of your things while also being easy to store during rides. What’s even better is when these park bags match your outfit and theming of the trip — in this case, all things SPOOKY.
There’s nothing like ending your perfect Magic Kingdom day with fireworks.
Happily Ever After
But, chances are we’ve all struggled to find the absolute best spot to watch them. The hub right in front of the castle fills up quickly, Main Street, U.S.A. is packed, and it might feel like you don’t really have any good options. If you’re looking for a somewhat secluded spot to watch Magic Kingdom fireworks, we think we might know just the place!
Disney Springs has a LOT of options for great food.
Disney Springs
You can grab some BBQ from Polite Pig or a sandwich from Earl of Sandwich. You could have a sit-down dinner at Homecomin’ or grab a drink from Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar. But what is even better than grabbing a bite to eat at Disney Springs is getting it for a BIG discount.
Shhhhh…do you hear that? 🤔
Airplane
It’s the universe telling you to book your next Disney World vacation! I mean, who are we to argue with the universe, right? And here’s the best news: One airline is having a MAJOR sale right now, so you could fly to Orlando for as low as $68 (one way)! [Read more…]
Here at DFB we get asked A LOT about the differences between Disney World and Disneyland — how are they different, and which one might be the best one for your family?
Space Mountain
Both of these parks have a lot in common, and even many attractions in common, but that doesn’t mean they’re identical! Today we’re going to do a deep dive into the nuances of Space Mountain at both Disney World and Disneyland.
Some big changes have hit or been announced for Disney World’s hotels lately.
Fort Wilderness
Over at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campgrounds, this is particularly true. Recently, Trail’s End Restaurant reopened from a lengthy refurbishment and now serves an updated Quick Service menu. Crockett’s Tavern also has new menu items, and NEW cabins have been announced for the resort (and are set to open in 2024). But some more changes could be on the way.
