EPCOT Food & Wine Festival 2023
The 2024 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival kicks off on August 29th and runs through November 23rd — meaning you’ve got nearly three full months of eating and drinking around the world if you’re up for it. So, what do you do when you only have ONE day to spend at the festival? What if you’re planning on splitting it up into TWO days? And, what should your game plan be if you’re conquering the Food & Wine Festival with kids?!
This Disney World original is going down for a bit.
Magic Kingdom
Ride closures and refurbishments are a part of life at Disney World. This year alone has seen long — and in some cases ongoing — periods of closure for Test Track, Peter Pan’s Flight, and Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster amongst others. Now, an iconic attraction has joined the list.
Let’s talk about flying to Disney World.
Cinderella Castle
Many people choose to fly to Disney World instead of driving. This may be because they’re coming to the parks from international countries, or they may be coming from across the country. Wherever people come from to visit the Most Magical Place on Earth, most people have to purchase airline tickets to get there. That’s why it’s important to find great deals on those plane tickets, which can be a difficult part of the planning process. But we recently noticed one budget airline offering some awesome deals on their already low fares!
At D23, we finally got to hear all about the Magic Kingdom expansion!
Villains Land is coming to Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom is about to receive significant upgrades. Villains Land will be added “Beyond Big Thunder Mountain,” and a new Cars Land will replace Tom Sawyer Island. While we know that some Disney fans have mixed emotions about the addition of Cars Land in Frontierland, we have some good news!

One of the best parts of visiting Disney World is seeing all the characters.
Hey, Chef Mickey!
Sure, you can wait in line to catch a character at a meet-and-greet spot in the parks. Or you can wave to a character in passing during a parade. But one of the BEST ways to meet characters is through character dining experiences, where you’re guaranteed to meet the characters PLUS you get to eat, making it the best of both worlds. However, when we asked you, our DFB readers on Facebook, which character meal was the worst…you told us!
Disney Cruise Line will be having an exciting upcoming few years!
