food IS a theme park
Wow! We bet you didn’t know there was a secret warehouse filled with all Disney World attractions in one place!
Walt Disney World
Disney just released behind-the-scenes photos of Central Shops, a Disney Adult’s playground, and you’ll want to buckle up and pull on that yellow tab when you see these fun details.
For just over five decades, Space Mountain has been the crown jewel of the Magic Kingdom and arguably the most famous Disney thrill ride in pop culture. Yet this marvel of ride design still holds some secrets within its intergalactic interior.
Space Mountain
The Magic Kingdom’s Space Mountain, which is the first Space Mountain overall, opened at Walt Disney World in January of 1975. The revolutionary-for-the-time indoor coaster was an immediate smash, becoming the resort’s first true thrill attraction, and ushering in a new era for both Disney and the theme park industry overall. In the years since, versions have been built at Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, and Hong Kong Disneyland, and the name Space Mountain has become iconic in pop culture. Despite all of that, there are still some things many may not know about the iconic ride.
Disney Imagineering just shared a close-up look at the Cars area ride testing! This new Cars area will be coming to Magic Kingdom and will feature two attractions.

While we are still waiting for more details on the timeline for this new area that will replace Tom Sawyer Island and the Rivers of America, it is always cool to get a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into creating a new area.
Argh! We are so ready for Pirates of the Caribbean Tavern to open in Magic Kingdom!
Adventureland!
Disney has been teasing us with information, and today, we got a behind-the-scenes look at this experience.
We just heard from a Disney Imagineer regarding some of the work going into creating the new Tropical Americas-themed land at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
This new land in Animal Kingdom will be called Pueblo Esperanza and is expected to open in 2027. Construction is already in progress as the first phase of closures began in DinoLand, U.S.A., on January 13th, 2025.
The EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival is right around the corner!
It’s almost time!
The festival will run from March 5th until June 2nd, and there is so much to see and do. EPCOT has already started transforming for the festival, as topiaries, flowers, and the Butterfly Garden have already started to pop up! Plus, this festival will be full of exclusive merchandise, entertainment, and, of course, our favorite part: food!
There are so many Cast Members that bring Disney Parks to life — who wouldn’t want to be part of that magic?
Magic Kingdom
We think just about every Disney adult has dreamed about becoming a Walt Disney Imagineer, and Disney just gave us an insider look at what that job REALLY looks like!
Okay, it’s time to give our reporters a huge shout-out because they do the impossible almost every single day.
Dole Whip
From hitting every single food booth at EPCOT festivals (which is how we got all our great reviews of the EPCOT Festival of the Arts recently) to visiting what could be Disney World’s WORST restaurants to eating turkey legs when it’s required of them (and y’all know how most of us here at DFB feel about turkey legs), DFB reporters go above and beyond in the parks every single day in Disney World and Disneyland. So we’re going to give you a little peek inside the life of a reporter when things get HARD.
This isn’t Antarctica. We’re not dealing with subzero temperatures or anything, but hey, it’s COLD in Disney World right now! *Cue incredulous laughter from the North* Even in Central Florida, you can experience temperatures in the low 40s — and even 30s — from time to time. So, what do a bunch of Florida locals do when it gets chilly in Disney World? Well, we do something you would NEVER expect.
Blizzard Beach
What’s the last thing you feel like doing when it’s snowing outside? Jumping in a cold shower? Walking around in shorts? Eating a bowl of ice cream? Surprise! Even when it’s freezing cold outside, the DFB team is eating frozen treats. But there’s a method to our madness!
It takes a lot of work to keep you updated on the latest and greatest Disney news. But here at DFB, we love what we do!
