We are back with our first Podcast of 2016! Welcome to Episode 27: Resort Snackage!

What’s It About?
In this podcast we go over some of our favorite snack options at Disney World and Disneyland resort hotels!

Sometimes it feels like all of the snack credit attention goes to the parks, so wanted to showcase some of the other awesome options you can grab outside of the usuals.

We go over a bunch of treats, including breakfast items and pastries from your favorite resorts like Pop Century, Animal Kingdom Lodge and more.

We are back with episode 26 of the DFB Podcast!

With so many people planning on visiting the parks in the upcoming months we wanted to discuss some helpful tips and ideas.

In this episode we discuss what options you have when you can’t get a reservation at Disney’s most popular dining locations. Is Cinderella’s Royal Table all booked up? No room at California Grill? We go over everything from character buffets to fine-dining at the parks and resorts to give you the best “second choice” spots when the iconic restaurants are full up. (There are even a few “second choice” spots that we like better than the “first choice” locations!)

Tune in and listen as we share our favorite tips for a busy visit to Disney!

Any suggestions or thoughts you would be willing to share would be fantastic!

3. If you could only have one meal at some Disney property — after which you would never return to the Disney parks again — where/what would it be, and why?
