food IS a theme park
Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!
Magic Kingdom
Disney World’s wait times staid relatively stable this week, but TRON: Lightcycle/Run continued to dominate.
Happy Valentine’s Day, DFB Friends.
2024 Valentine’s Day at Disney’s Boardwalk
Now, Valentine’s Day is one of our favorite holidays to celebrate in Disney World, mostly because we love all the Valentine’s Day treats (and ALL the chocolate snacks!). However, Valentine’s Day also brings some rare characters to the parks. Now yesterday, we celebrated Villaintine’s Day with Cruella De Vil and Jafar, but today, we’re celebrating Valentine’s Day with even MORE rare characters!
Lightning Lane changes are steadily happening, and we’ve spotted the first sellout of the year!
Lightning Lane
Ever since Disney World debuted its new skip-the-line Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Premier Pass, the rules and features have pretty much stayed the same. As more visitors have become comfortable using the revamped “skip the standby line” system, we had a feeling that Disney would slowly increase its already steep price tags for these services. Disney’s latest quarterly call with shareholders called for changes to happen with the program in the future. Well, despite the high prices, it seems like Lightning Lanes are POPULAR — even the luxury Premier Pass is selling out in Disney World. Here’s what we noticed.
High-profile musicians and other celebrities have been making pilgrimages to Disney’s parks since Disneyland first opened in 1955. Recently, one of the most successful artists in modern country music paid a visit to the most Magical Place on Earth to celebrate a family milestone.
No, not Woody and Jessie!
Thomas Rhett, the country music superstar known for a slew of hits, including “It Goes Like This,” “Get Me Some of That,” “Country Again,” and “Half of Me,” recently took a family trip to Disney World to celebrate his daughter’s birthday. [Read more…]
Forget Valentine’s Day, there’s only one holiday we’re celebrating in Disney World…
Mickey and Minnie!
…Villaintine’s Day! That’s right, the baddies have come out to play and we’re checking out all the rare Disney Villain character meet and greets (and a FREE souvenir!) around Disney’s Hollywood Studios right now. February 13th is officially Villaintine’s Day in Disney World, so come with us to check it out!
Get ready cow-folk, it’s time to ride over to Woody’s Lunch Box a lasso-up a BRAND NEW snack review.
Woody’s Lunch Box
On our most recent trip to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we stopped by the acclaimed Toy Story Land snack spot to try their newest delectable delight: A Chocolate-Covered Strawberry variant of one of the spot’s trademark tarts.
Between Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom and Luminous: The Symphony of Us at EPCOT, Walt Disney World has some of the best nighttime shows! But nothing tops Fantasmic! at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, which you can see at both Disneyland Resort and Disney World.
Fantasmic!
Disney just released a behind-the-scenes look into Fantasmic! and we’re loving all of these details!
For better or worse, change has long been a constant at Disney’s theme parks, and this year is proving to be an exceptionally evolutionary one at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Hollywood Studios
The park — which opened as the Disney/MGM Studios in 1989 — has seen its fair share of metamorphosis over the years, with iconic rides and seasonal shows disappearing to be replaced by game-changing lands and revolutionary rides, all while the park’s theme slowly mutated from real working studio to *SHRUGS SHOULDERS*. 2025 will see three major changes to the park, eliminating some of the last vestiges of the park as it was.
Well, what a week, right?
Chicken & Donut
We’ve been busy trying some new snacks in Disney World, including an Up treat that sorta made us sad. But we were VERY happy with the Chicken and Donut combo we discovered in Disney Springs. We also had the opportunity to revisit one of our FAVORITE Disney World restaurants to try out some new menu items. While all that was going on, Disney World was busy changing up some restaurant menus, so let’s see what’s been updated.
It seems to be the time for construction in Disney World! There are lots of construction walls all over Disney World, including in the closed area of DinoLand U.S.A.
This just doesn’t feel right!
The DinoLand U.S.A. closures began on January 13th, 2025, with the closures of TriceraTop Spin, Chester & Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures, and Fossil Fun Game. We were sad when the construction walls went up, and we are also feeling some type of way seeing the progress on TriceraTop Spin.
