We Bid Goodbye to Plastic Cheese at Counter Service Locations
And so’s the fun! With lots of new spots opening, like Vivoli Gelateria in Downtown Disney (soon to be Disney Springs) and new experiences to try (Frozen Summer Fun, anyone?), there’s never a dull moment.
But we’ve also seen some crazy big news this week — at least in terms of Disney Foods with a Cult Following. That’s right — I’m lookin’ at YOU, Plastic Cheese.
We won’t keep you in suspense any longer. Let’s take a look around at what we’ve covered, and then see all the food fun that’s happening around the interwebs this week.

My family is going to Disney at Christmas and we saw your post about Candlelight and the intermittent booking. So we tried to book it and it wasn’t available. When we called the phone number, the Disney cast member said that Candelight reservations have not been opened yet. I’m not sure what is true, but I will just keep trying! Just wanted to let everyone know what Disney told me
Hi Alex — We posted about it because it’s often the case that while Disney is updating its website and adding the code that will allow you to book, you can get through and actually book an event. That’s why we said it’s “intermittent” booking — some people are getting reservations and some aren’t. We wanted to make sure people were aware that it was happening, and also post about the 2015 options so people can start planning. They will open booking soon officially and we’ll be sure to let you know here on DFB. 😀
