Okay, we’re just going to say it — the best part of Disney World is the food. You know us, that’s what we’re here for!
So although we enjoy the OTHER parts of Disney World, we’re going to tell you a lot about the food because that’s our passion. We’ve told you all about everything we ate at the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays. We’ve kept you updated on all the holiday snacks that have turned up. And we’ll keep telling you about any restaurant menu changes that happen.
So let’s get on with those menu updates!
