food IS a theme park
Since we visit theme parks every single day, it’s safe to say we know a thing or two about what takes a theme park to the next level for its guests.
Welcome to Epic Universe
With Epic Universe, Universal Orlando’s newest theme park, opening in less than one month, we’ve been exploring every nook and cranny, and this massive theme park perk has been staring right at us. Wait till you see how easy it is to fill up your water bottle at Epic Universe.
Magic Kingdom is a park full of whimsy, iconic attractions, and hundreds of souvenirs that are so tempting. But honestly, you might regret buying some of them almost immediately.
Let’s go shopping!
We’re in the parks almost every single day, and we’ve both seen people buy things they’ve regretted immediately and also bought things ourselves that we wish we had never done. We asked our team for some stories of the times they made an impulse purchase they shook their heads at later, so learn from our mistakes — don’t do this on your trip!
It’s the simple things in life.

We love Disney World so much. We spend our days daydreaming about the best restaurants in Disney, changes coming to the parks, and our favorite entertainment in each park. We know that it’s always at the forefront of our minds and we can tell our love goes pretty deep because of what we found in Magic Kingdom today.
We love to talk about freebies you can get in Disney World.

WHAT? You can actually get things for FREE in Disney World?! Yes you can, if you know where to look! From celebration buttons to complimentary activities at the resorts, there’s a lot of free fun to be had when you take your Disney World vacation. But perhaps the most popular free “perk” is the cups of ice water!

Yes, we’ve had our fair share of not-so-great Disney World snacks, but there were two things about Disney World that DID have to do with dining, but not in the way you’d expect, that was ROUGH. These two things went from being constantly complained about to now being non-issues, which shows just how far things have come in a decade and a half. Those two things? Coffee and water.
Here at DFB, we know a thing or two about visiting Disney World. We visit every day, and we have learned a lot of tips and tricks!

Do you know what our number one tip for Disney World in the summer is? Stay hydrated!
Don’t forget your free water
It gets really toasty and really humid in Disney World during those summer months, and that means you’ll be sweating left, right, and center! To keep yourself from getting dehydrated, you’ll want to make sure you’re drinking as much water as you can. Many people choose to bring their own bottles to the parks, but if you forget to pack one, there’s another solution!
Trips to Disney are EXPENSIVE! There’s no doubt about it.
