food IS a theme park
Staying hydrated at Disney World isn’t optional.
You’ve gotta stay hydrated!
Between the Florida sun beating down on you from the moment you step off the tram and the sheer amount of walking a full park day demands, a good water bottle is genuinely one of the most important things you can pack. We spent time testing six popular options in 90-degree heat to find out which ones actually hold up and which ones might leave you with lukewarm water by lunchtime. Here’s the breakdown.
We love Vivoli il Gelato for their housemade gelato with fun flavor combos. We recently loved their new Golden Oreo Tiramisu, so when we saw they had another new menu item, we had to try it!
Guinness Gelato
This Guinness Gelato was a limited-time offering, but you can look for it on your next visit!
We’ve been raving about this Magic Kingdom snack for YEARS, and it’s still going as strong as ever!
Waffle from Sleepy Hollow!
There are TONS of iconic snacks around Magic Kingdom. From savory options like the rotating flavors at the Spring Roll Wagon to sweet treats like the giant cinnamon roll at Gaston’s Tavern, we could literally spend our entire day just eating our way through the park (and we often do exactly that)! And, as experienced Disney World snackers, we feel it’s our duty to check in and make sure you aren’t missing out on one of our all-time favorite eats in Magic Kingdom!
The post-trip slump is real, and anyone who has come home from Disney World knows that feeling of walking through your front door and immediately missing the magic.

The good news is that you don’t have to wait for your next trip to surround yourself with a little Disney charm. There are some genuinely great finds on Amazon right now that let you carry that park energy into your everyday life without spending a fortune, and we rounded up seven of our favorites right here.
Okay, so when you go to Disney World as much as we do, you’re bound to have some regrets. And let me tell you, we have a LOT of regrets.
Daisy and Donald
We’ve had trips where we’ve had to learn things the hard way (for example, we’ve learned what shoes NOT to wear to Disney World). We’ve had instances where we didn’t make those dining reservations we really wanted and missed out on eating at certain restaurants. However, one of our biggest regrets revolves around “wet stuff.” Let’s talk about it.
Picking the right travel outfit to keep you comfortable on your flight to Disney World is often an overlooked step in making sure your trip starts on the right foot!
Magic Kingdom
You’ve got A LOT on your mind leading up to your Disney vacation. Managing reservations, making sure the essentials are packed, staying up-to-date on any flight changes… But have you picked out a comfortable outfit for your flight so you don’t start your trip feeling irritated and crabby?? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
If you’ve followed us for a while, then you’ll know that we’re huge fans of The Polite Pig at Disney Springs. It’s a quick-service barbecue restaurant with such high-quality meats that it’s earned a Michelin Guide Recommended nod.
Limited-time Creamed Corn
So when we saw that they had a new limited-time menu item just for this month, we had to stop by and try it. Did we get weird looks for exclusively ordering a side of creamed corn and nothing else? Yes. But are we embarrassed? Never!
Some HUGE changes are coming to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland, and it’s going to change your entire experience in that part of the park.
Millennium Falcon
The timeline for Batuu is shifting to include ALL timelines in the Star Wars universe, including the timeline in the original trilogy of movies. That means you’ll soon be able to see characters like Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Darth Vader in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Princess Leia will also be coming to the land, too, and now we have a first look at her!
Disney World can be expensive, so nothing is worse than regretting an impulse purchase you made.
Magic Kingdom
Our DFB team members are in the parks every day, and with that experience comes a lot of lessons learned. Our team is sharing some stories of the times they made an impulse purchase they later found themselves regretting, so learn from our mistakes — don’t do this on your trip to Magic Kingdom!
These days, there’s construction going on all OVER Disney World.
Wilderness Lodge in Disney World
There are projects underway in all four parks to add new lands (like Villains Land and Tropical Americas), update attractions (like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster), and just conduct general maintenance. But we can’t forget about construction at the resorts! Recently, a new permit was filed for construction at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.
