food IS a theme park
Price increases are, unfortunately, a common Disney World trend.
EPCOT
EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival begins on August 28th, 2025, and will run through November 22nd, 2025. This festival brings tons of amazing small bites, sips, and so much cheese! This festival is one of our favorites, but it’s going to cost you more in 2025.

Each year, EPCOT’s premier annual event features a veritable smorgasbord of culinary delights from around the world. Over my 6+ years of covering the festival, I’ve seen plenty of foods come and go to the food booths scattered throughout the park. However, some have remained consistent… and consistently popular amongst our DFB team! These are some of our favorites CONFIRMED to be returning for the 2025 fest!
Oogie Boogie Bash has officially begun at Disney California Adventure! This after-hours event is a full night of Halloween fun with special snacks and all of your favorite villains.
It’s the Oogie Boogie man!
We’re here celebrating the first night of this festive party and can’t wait to share it all with you! In addition to all the exciting trick-or-treating, snacks, and merchandise, there’s also a whole lot of entertainment. Between characters, parades, fireworks, and more, there’s a whole lot to check out — so let’s get started!
Yesterday was a big day in Universal Orlando, because an iconic ride in Universal Studios had its final day of operation.
Rip Ride Rockit
Rip Ride Rockit opened in the park in August 2009, meaning that it was in operation for (almost) exactly 16 years to the day! This was one of the most thrilling rides in the park, so now that it’s gone, what will be replacing it? Well, there are a few ideas flying around.
Disney World has been pretty busy recently after debuting this year’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom. However, it’s about to get EVEN BUSIER thanks to a major convention coming to the resort — and the results could affect Disney’s theme park resort out West!
Avengers Campus
Destination D23: A Journey Around the Worlds of Disney is a large fan event taking place at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort in Disney World from August 29th through 31st, 2025. This event usually sheds a ton of light on The Walt Disney Company’s long-term plans for its entertainment, parks, cruise line, and more. While this year’s event does not have a dedicated parks panel, it’s still possible we could learn a few tidbits regarding upcoming and ongoing projects at the Disneyland Resort!
Who doesn’t love Disney Loungefly Bags? Now, who loves them when they’re 70% off?
We love Loungefly!
Did that get your attention? We found Disney Loungeflys up to 70% off, and we’re kinda freaking out. We pulled three of our favorites, but you’ll want to take advantage of the whole sale because it’s just that good.
Disney World is construction central right now!
Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter Resort
The parks are changing now more than ever, with the addition of new lands like Monsters, Inc. Land, Piston Peak, and Pueblo Esperanza. It’s not just the parks getting on the construction chaos, though. Now, a popular Disney resort is getting in on the fun!
I KNOW you’ve been waiting for this DFB video, so here IT IS….

The Bahamas are a very popular spot for cruise lines to travel to.
Nassau Port in the Bahamas
The crystal clear oceans and white sand beaches are an easy allure for many travelers, especially those who live in colder states or don’t have any beaches nearby to visit in/around their hometown. Disney Cruise Line has many stops there (including their own private resort), and other cruise lines like Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise Lines, among others, do the same. However, at Carnival’s newly opened Celebration Key Resort, two different travelers have drowned in one day.
Hello, hi! I am a self-proclaimed grandma at heart at the ripe age of 29. I am also a Disney adult who loves spending my free time at Disney World. What exactly constitutes a grandma at heart? Well, there isn’t exactly one definition, but for me, I enjoy living a slower life. I am almost always in bed by 9 PM and up before 7 AM. The club life is not the life for me, and I much prefer quieter settings. I would also be perfectly content sitting in a rocking chair and watching the world go by for hours. Plus, crafting is always a yes for me!
Magic Kingdom
While Disney World is generally a fairly chaotic place, I think there is something for just about anyone to enjoy! So, if you relate to being a grandma at heart, or are just looking for some more low-key things to do in Disney World, you have come to the right place! I am sharing some of my unspoken rules for Magic Kingdom and some of the must-dos if you are looking for a great time.
