We’ve already seen a first look at the expansion, which includes themed areas for Frozen, Tangled, and Peter Pan. Now, Disney has finally announced more details about the rides, attractions, and restaurants that will be inside! [Read more…]
There are lots of updates coming to the Disney parks in the rest of 2023.
Disney World
We know that Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana is coming soon, as well as the Frozen lands over in Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland. But what if you’re visiting a Disney park in 2024, what can you expect then? Here are all the new rides that are confirmed to open in 2024!
If you’ve been here a while, you know that we’re a little nerdy when it comes to Disney.
Magic Kingdom Train Station
We’ve seen the animated classics countless times, visit the parks daily, and altogether our staff probably owns an obscene amount of Disney merchandise. But besides those “typical” fan behaviors, we like to glance at the Disney data every now and then. We keep up with the stocks, the quarterly financial reports, and of course, the theme park rankings and surveys. And recently, a new report came out with some very interesting results.
Here at DFB, it’s probably no secret that we know a thing or two about Disney food — it’s in our name, after all.
A top-tier snack
And if you ask us, Disney foods tend to just taste better when they’re shaped like our favorite mouse. From Mickey pretzels to ice cream bars to beignets, we thought we had seen it all — until now, and we’re begging for this snack to come to Disney World.
Heading to Tokyo Disney this year?
Tokyo Disneyland Resort
We’ve seen the Tokyo Disney Resort go through some changes this year starting with its 40th anniversary celebration, brand new parades, and even a change in the park’s COVID-19 policy. We just found out about some new additions that will be coming later this year.
We talk a LOT about food here at DFB. We are Disney Food Blog after all!
Cinderella Castle in Tokyo Disneyland
Whether you’re at Disney World or Disneyland, we love being able to bring you reviews of all the restaurants at your disposal. But sometimes, we get the opportunity to check out Disney restaurants from the international parks, so come with us to the Duffy and Friends buffet at Tokyo DisneySea!
To ensure we are equipping our readers with all the information they need, we will continue to report on all travel, safety, and COVID-related news that could impact a Disney Parks visit.
Many health and safety regulations have been changing across Disney Parks all around the world, and one Disney Park is updating their guidelines.

Tokyo Disneyland is looking forward to several upcoming changes, including a 40th-anniversary celebration right around the corner and new lands coming soon.
Beauty and the Beast Attraction!
Now the park is seeing changes to its COVID-19 face mask policy, as it relates to the “Amusement Park and Theme Park New Coronavirus Infection Containment Guidelines.”
What if we told you there was a Disney restaurant located inside a cavern on a Mysterious Island?

There is — and it’s just as awesome as it sounds. Over at Tokyo DisneySea, Vulcania Restaurant serves as the “geothermal power station” for Captain Nemo’s scientific base, and it also serves up some pretty delicious grub. Come with us to check it out!
Sometimes Disney movies inspire attractions in the theme parks, and sometimes theme park attractions inspire Disney movies!
Jungle Cruise
We’ve seen rides like Haunted Mansion, Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean inspire Disney movies, while other rides, like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Rise of the Resistance, and Flight of Passage are all based on movies. But, there are more things than just rides in the parks that can inspire movies. And, it was just announced that another Disney movie is being made based off of something in the theme parks!
After two and a half years, Japan will soon allow visa-free, independent tourism within its borders once again.

With this excellent news, you might be wondering if now is the time to plan a trip to Tokyo Disney Resort. But, where do you start?! We’re sharing how to visit Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea now that Japan is opening its borders!
