In the nearly 20 years since Iron Man debuted in theaters, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has expanded exponentially. This interrelated series of films, Disney+ series, and shorts creates a timeline that nearly rivals the comic book source material that inspired it, which can be daunting for those trying to watch (or rewatch) the MCU. ©Sony However, that’s where we come in, true believers. We’ve assembled a list of every current (as of June 2026) MCU, in chronological order! (AKA, the order in which they take place, not the order in which they were released). A few notes before we begin: First, this is only counting official MCU projects. So no Fox X-Men or Sony Spider-Man films, even though those have been folded into the overall Marvel Cinematic Multiverse. Ditto for Agents of SHEILD, the canonicity of which has been debated. Secondly, this is an overall framework for the majority of these works, even though there may be some anachronisms, such as a post-credits scene that takes place in a different time period or projects that overlap with each other. ©CinemaBlend | Marvel Eyes of Wakanda: This 2025 Disney+ series spinning out of the world of the Black Panther film follows the Hatut Zaraze, a group of Wakandan warriors who retrieve vibranium artifacts throughout history.

Universal Kids Resort officially opens to the public on July 1st, but y’all…we got to see what the theme park is all about early! Universal Kids Resort Universal Kids Resort is a different kind of theme park for Universal, aimed mostly towards young ones and their families, although if you’re young at heart, you might still have a great time there. Of course, the most important thing we have to think about is FOOD, so we tried out some of the dining options and snacks in the park. Universal Kids Resort has a total of seven themed lands, with many of those lands having restaurants and snack spots with food, drinks, and treats. Over in Jurassic World Adventure Camp, you can grab food at the Jurassic World Canteen. When we stopped by, they weren’t serving food, so we skipped it this time around. But you can find items like dino nuggets on mashed potatoes that look like a volcano — and what could be better than that?! Jurassic World Canteen Over in SpongeBob SquarePants Bikini Bottom, we headed to Goofy Goober’s, where you can get sandwiches, salads, hot dogs, and “sky-high sundaes.” Goofy Goober’s There, we grabbed the Triple Gooberberry Sunrise. It’s $19.99 and comes with a souvenir cup! While the souvenir cup is huge, the actual ice cream is pretty small. We loved the ice cream, but boy, did it melt fast in the heat. We think this is going to be a kids’ favorite, but adults are definitely going to want to steal the cup. Triple Gooberberry Surprise We then took our ogre-sized appetite to Shrek’s Swamp to visit Swamp Snacks. You can grab the Shrekzel here as well — just like the one at Universal Orlando! The only difference is that this Shrekzel comes with regular yellow cheese instead of the green cheese at the Orlando location. This is your basic pretzel served with cheese sauce. Shrekzel It’s time to snack like Minions at Minions vs. Minions: Bello Bay Club. Bello Bay Bites is offering up some Minion-themed treats. Bello Bay Bites We got the Mac & Cheese Cone for $14.99. This reminded us a lot of the cones from the Isle of Berk in Epic Universe, but a tamer version. Not only did it feature the cones from Isle of Berk, but it also featured a minion tater tot from Minions Cafe, another one of our favorites. If you’re looking for a quick and easy lunch, you can enjoy this Kraft mac and cheese that was so fresh and filling. Mac & Cheese Cone Puss in Boots Del Mar features Comidas y Leche, which has “Puss in Boots’ approved eats.” We had to try Big Jack Horner’s Wrap, which is made with seasoned ground beef, refried beans, Tostitos nacho cheese sauce, corn tostada, tomatoes, and lettuce wrapped in a flour tortilla. It’s like a Crunchwrap Supreme from Taco Bell, served with crispy tots. This was $12.99. Big Jack Horner’s Wrap This feels fresh and homemade, and we truly enjoyed every beat. We did feel like the tater tots weren’t really necessary, but it does make it a fuller meal. We liked the cheese sauce in the wrap, but it did make it a little bit soggy. Like a crunchwrap! We also picked up the Churritos and Chocolate for $6.99. These are mini fried churro bites served with chocolate sauce. These were your pretty typical theme park churros. They weren’t the best we’ve ever had in our lives, but they hit the spot when you need a sweet treat. Churritos and Chocolate And finally, we grabbed the Puss in Bootsicle for $7.99. This is Fanta Orange soda with vanilla cream syrup, topped with sweet cream cold foam and orange sprinkles. Woah, was this sweet! We highly recommend getting one for the table and sharing it, but it did really taste like a creamiscle with the very tart Fanta flavor. Puss in Bootsicle We’ll be exploring more of Universal Kids Resort and getting you all the details, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

It’s official! We’re at Universal Kids Resort ahead of its opening to check out everything Universal’s new Texas theme park has to offer. Universal Kids Resort Universal Kids Resort is located in Frisco, Texas, and features a total of seven themed lands, with the park aimed at younger children and their families. The new resort also features a fun kids-themed hotel, and it’s all scheduled to open to the public on July 1st. We’re bringing you along, though, on our sneak peek of the new theme park, including a closer look at one of its lands, Isle of Curiosity. Isle of Curiosity is the main gateway of the park that leads to all the other themed lands. It’s basically like Celestial Park in Epic Universe at Universal Orlando. However, it’s not just a gateway; it’s also a themed land in and of itself. And to think we are among the first to visit it! Isle of Curiosity Isle of Curiosity is designed for play, giving kids the chance to freely roam around and hang out with characters. The main attraction of the land is Gabby from Gabby’s Dollhouse‘s meet and greet, but she had to pop back into her dollhouse when we stopped by. This is where Gabby meets! However, more importantly, this land features plenty of shade and benches for those times when you just need a break or for parents to rest while their kids enjoy that playtime. Tons of seating! The biggest thing happening in Isle of Curiosity is Gabby’s Cat-Tastic Dance Party! where kids and their families can boogie on down with Gabby from Gabby’s Dollhouse. It’s a chance to burn off some energy and meet what may be some of the park’s most popular characters. There weren’t any showings when we went, but we’ll definitely come back! Gabby’s cats are all around the land! For those with a sweet tooth, you’ll have to stop by Cakey’s Cupcakes, where you can grab cupcakes in chocolate, vanilla, and rainbow. We’re all about some cupcakes, so we HAD to stop by. Also, kids love cupcakes, so we can imagine this will be a popular snack spot. Cakey’s Cupcakes If you’re looking for something a little more substantial, you can pop into Universal Kids Resort Café, which is a vibrant and colorful dining spot where you can get out of the sun, sit down, and have a leisurely meal. Universal Kids Resort Cafe If you’re looking to grab souvenirs to remember your day at Universal Kids Resort, you’ll want to visit the Universal Kids Resort Store located in Isle of Curiosity. This is the flagship store, so you’re sure to find pretty much any kind of souvenir you’re looking for, including souvenirs representing all the lands in the park. Universal Kids Resort Store However, you’ll also find a ton of merchandise inspired by Gabby’s Dollhouse, and if you’ve got fans of that show with you, they’ll certainly want to grab a few items. We brought this MerCat Slap Bracelet home with us! Gabby’s Dollhouse Slap Bracelet We’ll be giving you a FULL rundown of Universal Kids Resort, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

EPCOT is full of little surprises, but one of the strangest planning quirks involves the Mexico Pavilion. Most guests don’t discover this rule until they’ve already made the mistake. Mexico Pavilion You arrive at the Mexico Pavilion, see the iconic pyramid rising above World Showcase, notice Donald Duck greeting guests nearby, and figure you’ll leave your stroller close by while you pop inside for a few minutes. It seems like a perfectly reasonable plan. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the easiest ways to create an unexpected headache during your EPCOT day. The Mexico Pavilion has a unique stroller parking situation that catches a lot of families off guard, especially first-time visitors who assume stroller parking works the same way it does everywhere else around the park. You Can’t Park Your Stroller at the Mexico Pavilion The key rule is simple: you generally should not park your stroller in front of the Mexico Pavilion. Even if you’re meeting Donald Duck. Even if you’re riding Gran Fiesta Tour. Even if you’re grabbing a quick snack. Even if other strollers appear to be parked there. He’s #1 The area directly in front of the pavilion may look like a convenient place to leave a stroller, but Cast Members often need to keep that space clear. If strollers are left in non-designated locations, Cast Members may ask guests to move them or relocate unattended strollers to the appropriate stroller parking area. Mexico That means when you return from your attraction, meal, or character meet-and-greet, your stroller may not be sitting exactly where you left it. Nothing ruins a relaxing boat ride quite like emerging from the pavilion and immediately beginning a search mission for your stroller. 4 NEW Rules Disney World Is Enforcing in 2026 Your Stroller Goes to Norway Here’s the part that surprises many guests. The designated stroller parking area for the Mexico Pavilion is typically located near Norway. Not Mexico. Norway. Norway Pavilion For guests unfamiliar with World Showcase, that can sound completely backwards. Why would stroller parking for one pavilion be located near another country entirely? The answer comes down to crowd management and available space. While the walk isn’t particularly long, it’s far enough away that you’ll want to know about it before arriving. Families who don’t realize this often end up making an extra trip after they’ve already reached Mexico. Norway If you’re planning to spend time in the pavilion, it’s usually easiest to park the stroller in the designated area near Norway first and then walk back to Mexico. Knowing this ahead of time turns an annoying surprise into a simple part of your touring plan. 4 Cast Member-Approved Items That Follow Disney World’s Stroller Rules Why This Rule Exists At first glance, the rule can feel random. Once you spend a few minutes in front of the Mexico Pavilion, though, it starts to make more sense. The area is one of the busiest spots in World Showcase. Mexico Pavilion Guests are entering and exiting the pyramid throughout the day. Others are stopping for photos in front of the pavilion. Donald Duck’s meet-and-greet attracts a steady stream of families. Visitors are heading inside for shopping, dining, and Gran Fiesta Tour. Lots of crowds During festivals, the crowds can become even heavier. Adding rows of parked strollers to that already busy space can create significant congestion. Walkways become narrower, traffic slows down, and navigating the area becomes more difficult for everyone. Keeping the front of the pavilion clear helps Disney maintain smoother pedestrian flow while also improving accessibility and safety. Mexico It’s one of those operational rules that may seem inconvenient for individual guests but makes a lot more sense when thousands of people are moving through the same area every day. These Maps Show You Secret Paths to Avoid the Worst Disney World Crowds Plan Ahead for Donald Duck Donald Duck is one of the biggest reasons families get caught by this rule. His Mexico Pavilion meet-and-greet is incredibly popular, and it’s easy to understand why. The location is charming, the backdrop is fantastic for photos, and Donald’s Mexico-themed outfit is a favorite among Disney fans. Many families approach the area, see the line, and immediately jump in without thinking about stroller parking. Donald Duck That’s when problems start. Before joining the queue, take a moment to make sure your stroller is parked in the proper location. It may feel like an extra step, but it’s much easier to handle stroller parking before entering the line than after you’ve finished your character interaction and discovered your stroller has been relocated. If you’re unsure where strollers should be parked that day, ask a nearby Cast Member. They can point you toward the correct location and help you avoid any confusion. Where to Find All the Disney Character Meet-and-Greets in Walt Disney World Gran Fiesta Tour Has the Same Issue The same planning advice applies to Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros. This attraction is one of EPCOT’s hidden gems. It’s indoors, air-conditioned, family-friendly, and usually provides a welcome break from the Florida heat. Gran Fiesta Tour Naturally, that makes it especially appealing to families with young children. Because the attraction entrance is located inside the pyramid, many guests assume they can leave their stroller nearby while they ride. Gran Fiesta Tour: The Three Caballeros Instead, it’s best to park the stroller in the designated area first and then head into the pavilion. The extra few minutes of planning can save considerably more time later. Bring Only What You Need Whenever you’re leaving a stroller behind at Disney World, it’s smart to take important items with you. This advice applies everywhere, but it’s especially useful in situations where strollers may be moved by Cast Members. Phones, wallets, keys, medications, cameras, and other valuables should stay with you rather than remaining in the stroller. Strollers in Disney World Many experienced Disney visitors treat strollers as temporary storage for jackets, rain gear, snacks, and other non-essential items while keeping anything important in a backpack or crossbody bag. That way, even if the stroller gets relocated, you still have everything you absolutely need. Best Travel Strollers for Disney World Make Your Stroller Easy to Find Disney stroller parking areas can quickly become a sea of nearly identical strollers. Black stroller. Gray stroller. Another black stroller. Yet another gray stroller. After a few hours in the Florida sun, they can all start looking exactly the same. Stroller parking That’s why many experienced Disney families add some kind of identifying marker. A colorful ribbon tied to the handle can help. So can a luggage tag, stroller sign, bright accessory, or other easy-to-recognize decoration. Sea of strollers The goal isn’t to turn your stroller into a parade float. You simply want something that helps it stand out from dozens of similar models parked nearby. Taking a quick photo before walking away can also be surprisingly helpful. If your stroller gets moved, you’ll have a recent image showing exactly what you’re looking for. Don’t Assume the Crowd Is Right One common mistake is assuming that a cluster of parked strollers automatically means you’re looking at an approved stroller parking area. That’s not always true. Sometimes guests simply follow the first stroller they see and create an unofficial parking zone that was never intended for stroller storage. Just because several strollers are sitting somewhere doesn’t necessarily mean they’re supposed to be there. You can always buy a stroller in Florida! If you’re unsure where to leave your stroller, ask a nearby Cast Member. Disney frequently adjusts operational procedures based on crowd levels, festivals, construction projects, entertainment offerings, and other factors. A location that worked during one visit may not be the preferred location during another. A quick question can prevent a lot of unnecessary frustration later. Strollers in Magic Kingdom Another important thing to keep in mind is that Disney operations are always evolving. Special events, seasonal festivals, construction projects, and crowd-control measures can occasionally affect stroller parking locations. While stroller parking for the Mexico Pavilion is typically located near Norway, guests should always follow current Cast Member instructions during their visit. Think of the Norway location as the general rule rather than a permanent guarantee. If Disney needs to adjust operations on a particular day, Cast Members will direct guests accordingly. The Best Plan The easiest strategy is simple. If you’re heading to the Mexico Pavilion with a stroller, plan ahead before you arrive. Park your stroller in the designated area near Norway before visiting Donald Duck, Gran Fiesta Tour, San Angel Inn Restaurante, La Cava del Tequila, or the pavilion shops. Bring any valuables and essentials with you. Make sure your stroller has an identifying marker. And if anything looks different from what you expected, ask a Cast Member for current instructions. La Hacienda de San Ángel Those few extra minutes of preparation can save a surprising amount of time and confusion later. Save Yourself the Stroller Scavenger Hunt This isn’t one of Disney World’s biggest rules. It’s not something that will make or break your vacation. But it is exactly the kind of small planning detail that can save you time, frustration, and unnecessary walking during a busy EPCOT day. Guests who know about the Mexico Pavilion stroller situation ahead of time can adjust their plans accordingly and avoid the confusion that catches so many families by surprise. Strollers The takeaway is simple: don’t park your stroller in front of the Mexico Pavilion. Use the designated stroller parking area near Norway, keep valuables with you, make your stroller easy to identify, and follow any instructions provided by Cast Members. Stroller Parking That way, when you finish meeting Donald Duck or sailing through Gran Fiesta Tour, you’ll spend your time enjoying EPCOT instead of wandering World Showcase searching for a missing stroller. And that’s a much better adventure than the one most guests accidentally create for themselves. 5 Rules You’re Accidentally Breaking in EPCOT Disney World Rules Tips 5 Bizarre Disney Cruise Line Rules I Wish I’d Known Sooner3 New Unspoken Rules Disney Is Enforcing in 20264 Disney World Rules That No Longer Work in 2026 Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

When we’re at Hollywood Studios, there’s nothing we love more than ending our day with Fantasmic!. This 30-minute-long show features fireworks, lasers, projections, and, of course, Sorcerer Mickey himself! Fantasmic! Our biggest Fantasmic! hack is to grab a dining package. You’ll get a guaranteed spot front and center without having to wait in line, which is a game-changer on crowded nights. But we have some bad news – Disney just increased the price of Fantasmic! Dining Packages! The Fantasmic! Dining Package offers a meal at a participating restaurant in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and reserved seating for a showing of the popular Fantasmic! nighttime spectacular. You can choose between four popular restaurants in the park, but we love choosing the character meal at Hollywood & Vine to spend even more time with Mickey! Mickey at Hollywood & Vine Hollywood and Vine is both a Character Meal and a Buffet, and the dining package includes a non-alcoholic or alcoholic beverage for guests 21 and older. Minnie’s Seasonal Dine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner features Minnie, Mickey, Goofy, and Pluto in a meal themed for the current season. But the prices just got higher! Hollywood & Vine buffet Before, the Fantasmic! Dining Package at Hollywood & Vine costs $81 for adults and $51 for kids. But now, the same package costs $82 for adults and $53 for kids. While a $2 price increase doesn’t seem like much, this price excludes tax and gratuity, so it can add up fast for large groups! If you want a character meal at Hollywood Studios for less, a regular meal there hasn’t changed in price. Minnie at Hollywood & Vine If you want a Fantasmic! Dining Package at a different restaurant, the prices have stayed the same at the other three locations. Sci-Fi Dine In Theater Restaurant is a table-service restaurant that includes an entrée, dessert, and a non-alcoholic or alcoholic beverage for guests 21 and older, priced at $59 for adults and $23 for kids. 50’s Prime Time Cafe is another table-service restaurant that includes an entrée, dessert, and a non-alcoholic or alcoholic beverage for guests 21 and older, priced at $60 for adults and $23 for kids. The Hollywood Brown Derby is a signature table-service restaurant, and the package includes an entrée, dessert, and a non-alcoholic or alcoholic beverage for guests 21 and older, priced at $83 for adults and $31 for kids.

When Disneyland announced that Autopia would be switching to electric vehicles, we were beyond thrilled. No horrific gas smell? No screaming, loud noises? Sign us up! Autopia in Disneyland Beyond guest enjoyment, part of the reason Disneyland is making these changes is because of a settlement agreement with the state agency that regulates air pollution in California. These changes have to happen before February 2027…but what if they don’t? Disneyland is planning on updating Autopia with fully electric vehicles and retiring the gas engines that have powered the ride since its 1955 debut, and according to the Orange County Register, Disneyland has reached an agreement with the Air Resources Board to retire the engines by early 2027. Autopia ticket Disneyland officials say they are working on the design, engineering, and testing of the new Autopia vehicle prototype. In 2024, Disneyland paid a $56,000 settlement to the California Air Resources Board after disclosing that the Honda engines on Autopa ride vehicles were operating without certified emission controls. The fine was a result of an administrative oversight and was promptly corrected with no impact on the environment. Autopia Car No closing or reopening dates have been set for the attraction yet, despite Disneyland originally announcing the plan in 2024 to convert the vehicles by fall 2026. One of the last major refurbishments for Autopia happened in 2016 when Honda became the sponsor after Chevron. The 10-year contract with Honda to sponsor the attraction ends in 2026. Disneyland Tomorrowland With the deadline approaching, what happens if they don’t make the changes? More likely or not, the attraction will have to shut down until the changes can be made. Disneyland has not made any announcements and has only talked about changing the vehicles, not closing down the entire attraction. Disneyland Disneyland Resort has made a sustainability commitment to reach net zero emissions by 2030 by increasingly relying on cleaner renewable energy sources.

Don’t you just love a week filled with some crazy Disney news?! Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Ok, we get it, sometimes huge Disney announcements can be stressful. We might be getting something we’ve been wanting for a long time, or we could be hearing about something we don’t want to go. Well, these three announcements are all good news! If you didn’t hear, Disney’s BoardWalk Resort is going to look a lot different in the future, as the resort is getting some major updates. Disney World’s BoardWalk Inn is one of the most popular resorts on Disney World property. Whether you’re staying there or not, everyone loves checking it out. At Boardwalk, you’ll find great dining spots, tasty treats, a little bit of nightlife, and an overall great vibe. Now, the resort is about to get a massive upgrade! Disney’s BoardWalk Hurly Burly A new lounge is coming to Disney’s Boardwalk called Hurly-Burly! Disney has said the spot will “welcome guests for fun-filled afternoons and glamorous evenings inside a historic seaside theatre with a vibrant BoardWalk story that spans over a century.” ©Disney It will be a family-friendly spot during the day, offering activities and trivia. At night, Hurly Burly becomes a lounge for anyone 21 and older to listen to live music and enjoy coastal-inspired cocktails and light bites. Disney never confirmed this, but we have a hunch that this new lounge will take over the spot where Jellyrolls used to be. The concept art looks very similar to the old stage in the bar, but we’ll just have to wait and see! Jellyrolls Basin It was also announced that Basin is coming to the BoardWalk, and it will open in late 2026. The shop will offer a curated collection of handcrafted products made with quality ingredients, including natural soaps, botanical bath salts, bath bombs, body butters, lip salves, shampoo and conditioner bars, and more. Not only will you be able to shop here, but you can also take a look at the interactive elements that make the experience especially unique. The interactive elements will include a custom bath tea blending counter, a make-your-own-soap station, and a soap embossing press for a personalized finishing touch. ©Disney New Quick Service Lastly, Disney teased a new quick service coming to BoardWalk! Disney didn’t say much about the new dining spot, other than the fact that something is coming. Disney confirmed more details will be revealed later this summer. The Boardwalk could use another quick service, as there really is only the Pizza Window, Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs, and the Boardwalk Deli.

Disney World summers are no joke! The crowds can be overwhelming, and the temperatures tend to soar high. Cinderella Castle If you’re unprepared, these aspects of the park can turn your most magical vacation into a frustrating one very quickly. If you’re heading to Disney World today, you should know there’s a heat advisory in place, meaning it’s more important than ever to take care of yourself. According to FOX35 Orlando, a heat wave is coming through Orlando! If you’re in Disney World on Friday, June 19th, you should know that it’s going to be extra hot. The advisory is in place from 11 AM until 7 PM for most of Central Florida. Crowds in May 2026 While it’s normally pretty toasty in the theme parks, it’s going to be extra hot today with “feels like” temperatures ranging between 105 degrees and 111 degrees. The actual temperatures will be in the low 90s, and they will get up to the mid 90s throughout the day. ©FOX35 This afternoon and evening, summer showers and storms are expected. The chances of rain are peaking at 60%, which is a little higher than what it has been recently. Isolated showers are expected to begin around 12 PM, with the highest chance of rain being from 2 PM until 9 PM. These storms are also expected to bring strong winds of 50 to 60 mph. Storms in Hollywood Studios These storms, combined with the high temperatures, will make for a muggy day! If you’re going to be in the parks, this is a great time to be extra diligent when it comes to taking care of yourself. Drinking tons of water, taking lots of breaks, wearing your sunscreen, and being sure to stay fueled up with plenty of snacks is seriously important. Passing out or getting sick in the theme parks is the quickest way to ruin your trip, take it from a team who has learned the hard way! Make sure to drink water! The temperatures are expected to drop this weekend into the upper and middle 70s for the low. The high is expected to stay in the low 90s. If you’re planning on heading to the theme parks to celebrate Father’s Day, be prepared for what could come! (If you’re going with Dad, this is a great early Father’s Day gift!) We have tons of different ways to stay cool, but the most important ones are what work for YOU!

Disney fans of all ages are gonna be RUNNING to their TVs on June 24th — and for good reason! ©Disney True Disney fans CRAVE behind-the-scenes content of the theme parks they love — and Disney happily delivers! Since its advent, Disney+ has provided tons of original streaming content, including the beloved Behind the Attraction series. It’s been a minute since we’ve gotten new episodes of this fantastic show, but the long wait is about to be over! On June 24th, 2026, Behind the Attraction Season 3 is debuting on Disney+ after a 3-year hiatus! The show — which provides behind-the-scenes looks at the theme park resorts’ rides, snacks, shows, and more, as well as historical accounts of prominent Disney icons — originally premiered back in 2021, and its second season followed two years later in 2023. ©Disney However, Season 3 will be fairly different, as it will take us out to sea and focus on the Disney Cruise Line.

The 2026 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival will be here before we know it, and we’re already SO excited about all the new eats and drinks we’ll get to try. Parisian Breakfast While the full menus for this year’s event have not been announced just yet, we do know that some of our favorite experiences are returning, including the Eat to the Beat Concert Series. Not only that, but a fan-favorite EPCOT Food & Wine offering is coming back this year, so let’s check out everything we know about the Chefs de France Parisian Breakfast Buffet! Chefs de France is presenting a traditional French breakfast through a “bountiful buffet” meal. This pre-paid buffet is only available for a limited time on Fridays and Saturdays starting August 28, 2026. Chefs de France Advance Dining Reservations are available on the Disney World website and My Disney Experience app (search “Parisian Breakfast” or “Chefs de France”). The all-inclusive price for 2026 has not been announced. Parisian Breakfast The menu for this special event is: Assorted French Pastries Buttery croissants, pain au chocolat, almond croissants, and other assorted pastries Freshly Baked Baguettes Crisp on the outside, soft and warm on the inside—ideal for spreading with creamy butter or luxurious French jams Cheeses & Charcuterie A selection of premium cheeses and artisanal cured meats Smoked Salmon Delicate and silky slices of smoked salmon, perfect for pairing with fresh bread or a squeeze of lemon Fresh Fruit Seasonal fruit to balance the richness of the pastries and charcuterie Quiches The experience also includes unlimited mimosas, fruit juices, and freshly brewed coffee. Chefs de France shares that “It’s a leisurely breakfast made to savor with friends and loved ones.” In the past, we’ve really enjoyed this buffet, and it’s nice to see it returning to EPCOT. The food was pretty enjoyable, with some items better than others, but it is mostly cold food — think continental breakfast style. It’s not the best breakfast buffet in Disney World, but it is one of the most unique and sophisticated. It would make for a nice, relaxing start to your Food & Wine day, especially considering that most food booths don’t open until around 11 AM. Mimosa at Parisian Breakfast We’ll be on the lookout for even more EPCOT Food & Wine Festival news you need to know about and beyond!

A new Universal resort is almost OPEN! Shrek’s Swamp Over in Frisco, Texas, the brand-new Universal Kids Resort officially opens on July 1st, but we got a sneak peek inside the park! We have TONS of big thoughts and feelings, but for now, we’re breaking down this specific land like an onion with layers. Let’s explore Shrek’s Swamp together. Ah, the smell of an oger’s swamp in the morning! There’s nothing like it, especially at the brand-new Universal Kids Resort. There is SO much to see in the land inspired by the famous film franchise, so let’s dive right into the mud together. The star of this land is the brand-new ride, Shrek & Fiona’s Happily Ogre After. We love the facade This outdoor air ride allows guests to “take a ride on Shrek & Fiona’s Happily Ogre After to hear how an ogre and a princess were enchanted by love.” Climb in You get to sit in a carriage-inspired ride vehicle as you see different depictions of scenes throughout the film. Universal said Shrek built this for their triplets, so they can relive the quest where Shrek rescues Princess Fiona! Some of the views The ride isn’t the only star here! You can also meet Shrek and Fiona in his swamp! We wonder if Donkey is hiding somewhere in the land? Shrek and Fiona After you run around, we’d bet you’re going to get hungry! Swamp Snacks is the land’s food location that’s serving up “oger sized snacks.” This stand features the triplets’ favorite treats, including that famous Shrekzel from Universal Studios Orlando. Swamp Snacks While we weren’t able to grab the Shrekzel here, it’s a fun snack at Universal Orlando because it comes with green cheese. When we saw others with the snack, the cheese looked like the traditional yellow version. Shrekzel in Universal Orlando Don’t forget about shopping! Triplets Treasures is the spot to shop till you drop. At this spot, you can find things like Shrek-inspired hoodies for all ages, ogre ears available as a hat, headband, or bucket hat, shoulder pals of Donkey and Shrek, and more. There are tons of different apparel, plushes, and more. You’ll make everyone green with envy in your new merch! We’re going to need that Donkey plush Finally, there’s lots of room for the kids to run, splash, and play because there are TWO play areas. The first is Shrek’s Swamp Rompin’ Stomp. This is the interactive dry playground for those who don’t have a ton of interest in splashing. Playground The second area is Shrek’s Swamp Splash & Smash. If you do want to splish and splash, this is the play area for you! What a great way to cool down There’s no doubt in our minds that this is going to be a popular land! We can’t wait to explore more of this area and the entire resort throughout the rest of our sneak peek. As always, be sure to keep following DFB for more theme park news, updates, and more.

Disney World truly is our happy place. There is so much to love about the theme parks, from the food to the rides to the shows and the Cast Members. While it is the place where we are the happiest, it can also be the place where we are the most frustrated at times. The JISULIFE Fan The heat and the crowds can be overwhelming, and if you don’t prepare, it can ruin your day or lead you to spending a ton of money you wouldn’t have spent otherwise. That’s why we like to prepare for the good AND the bad moments in Disney World. Luckily for us, this $14 essential is the perfect way to beat the heat in Orlando. DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission. There are tons of different ways you can beat the heat in Disney World! Staying hydrated, keeping cooling towels with you, and frequent breaks inside are all ways to keep it cool in the parks. One of our favorite ways is by keeping a handheld, mini fan with us at all times! JISULIFE 3 IN 1 Handheld Mini Fan JISULIFE 3 IN 1 Handheld Mini Fan There are tons of different fans that you can buy online, but that doesn’t make them all equal. For us, we are huge fans (no pun intended) of the JISULIFE fan. This item might be small, but it really packs a punch! The fan folds in half for easy storage, and we barely even notice it when we toss it in our bags! The fan has up to 19 hours of cooling time on a single charge! You can easily recharge it with a USB in your hotel room before hitting the parks the next day. While you can’t run it 24/7 it will definitely help you get through the hottest parts of the day. It folds up easily Not only does it fold up easily and have great cooling features, but it can even serve as a power bank for you! Phones are essential in Disney World these days, and you might find your battery drained quickly throughout the day. This fan has a power bank in it, which we have found to be life savers when we’re in a pinch in the parks. The blades fold down! That’s not all it does! It even has a flashlight function. When we have been searching through our park bags at night, digging for our keys or other necessities, this little flashlight has made life so much easier. What we really love about it, though, is that this little fan can go with us anywhere! Sure, we love it in the theme parks, but Orlando isn’t the only hot spot on earth. We’ve used it on daily walks, other travel, and even concerts. JISULIFE Handheld Mini Fan This fan has really gotten us through some tough times, plus it’s even on sale at the time of writing! It’s one of the best $14 we’ve ever spent. Grab Yours On Amazon! This is one of the best ways to keep it cool and affordable in Disney this summer!

It’s summertime at Disney World, and while that means a TON of exciting new experiences around the parks, it also means your trip could be interrupted by those pesky Florida thunderstorms. Rainy day at Animal Kingdom While it’s rare that rain will last all day long in Central Florida, it’s far more likely that a random morning or afternoon shower can threaten to derail your plans. But, if you’re prepared for those storms, they don’t have to totally ruin your day! Sure, you could buy one of those plastic ponchos they sell at Disney World, but our favorite reusable poncho is far more comfortable — and right now, it’s on SALE on Amazon!
