food IS a theme park
A former Disney World employee has been sentenced to three years in federal prison for hacking into the menu software Disney uses to update its restaurant menus, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

In addition to prison time, Michael Scheuer, 40, of Winter Garden, Florida, must pay almost $700,000 in fines for his crimes, which included updating Disney restaurant menus to falsely show certain food items didn’t contain peanuts and other allergens.
It’s certainly a time for expansion for the Disney Parks.
Peter Pan’s Never Land at Tokyo Disney
Walt Disney World is changing more than one of its parks, and over at Disneyland, a new era is being ushered in as well. However, it’s not only Disney’s domestic parks that are potentially being overhauled and expanded — a new report from Tokyo Disney shows the parks could be in for some BIG changes.
Stepping onto the plane to start your Disney vacation can be just as exciting as stepping into the park itself!
Magic Kingdom!
If you’re someone who flies to Disney World or Disneyland, you likely know the feeling. But, what if we told you it’s possible for that flight to be even more exciting — because it could be Disney-themed! The latest unveiling from Alaska Airlines has us wanting to book a flight STAT.
Just when we thought we were out, Epic Universe pulls us back in. Just kidding — we could literally never get enough of this place!
Celestial Park
Epic Universe is home to five different themed lands, including Celestial Park, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, and Dark Universe. We’re heading BACK to the Oak & Star Tavern at Celestial Park to check out some more eats!
Dining at Disney World can be overwhelming because you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle of the road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well.
Italy Pavilion in EPCOT
We recently stopped by the Italy Pavilion at EPCOT to check out some new menu items available at a few different spots there, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here!
It’s the dawn of a new day for theme parks. With technology advancing and parks expanding, it’s no wonder many people are so interested in themed entertainment.

Universal’s brand-new theme park, Epic Universe, is about to open and is already getting rave reviews, and the company has also announced plans to build new theme parks in the United Kingdom and Frisco, Texas. But, Frisco isn’t the only city in Texas that might be getting a new theme park…
Here at DFB, we know a thing or two about Disney World. And, I personally happen to know a thing or two about drinking at EPCOT. In fact, it’s one of my favorite things to do.
EPCOT
Some might consider me the resident expert on imbibing here at DFB (okay, or maybe I’m just the loudest about it), which is why I feel particularly qualified to tell you about the latest problem plaguing EPCOT — barflies. One World Showcase pavilion tends to attract them more than most, and we need to talk about it.
Disney versus Universal — it’s been a hot debate for years and continues to be a hot debate today, especially with Epic Universe joining the lineup.
Universal Studios
Despite the projected earnings for Epic Universe in its first year being over one billion dollars, the rest of Universal’s theme park revenue doesn’t seem to be doing so hot. NBCUniversal recently held its first-quarter earnings call, and revenue for the parks was down.
Meeting characters around the Disney parks and resorts is one of the BEST parts of the trip!
Cruella de Vil looking fabulous
And, you can even find some pretty rare characters hiding around, too — if you know where to look. A recent holiday brought some rare characters out from the woodwork at Disneyland, and we were lucky enough to meet one of the rarest of them all!
