5 Things I Wish I’d Known Before I Quit Working and Became a Full-Time Disney Fan

By 5 Comments

It has been 15 years since I started the Disney Food Blog. Like many entrepreneurs, I started it as a side hustle while I was working full-time. I was passionate about Disney World, and NO ONE was really talking about the FOOD.

REAL plastic cheese

From LIME Dole Whip to Plastic Cheese to the original Carrot Cake Cookie, I started sharing all of my favorites — as well as the tips and tricks for planning a Disney World vacation I’ve learned from years of Disney travel — and people (like YOU, THANK YOU!!) started following along. And then came the time to decide to stop working for other people and make that side hustle my full-time gig. But man, there are some things I know now that I wish I knew then.

I Was Fired From My Job 15 Years Ago and Started a Blog. Here’s What Happened Next.

By 48 Comments

I’ve been writing about Disney — and specifically FOOD at Disney — for 15 years now!

A classic!

It’s been quite awhile since I started holding up my treats in front of Cinderella Castle and sharing them with the world (and believe me, I got SO MANY weird looks when I started). Over the years, I’ve spent THOUSANDS of dollars trying every restaurant and every new menu item in Disney World — and now we have a whole team reporting 365 days a year (yes, we’re even working on the holidays), and millions of followers! I’m taking a minute today to look back, and I need to tell you that it all started with a not-so-great (at least it SEEMED not so great at the time) day…

The Abandoned Disney World Breakfast Spot That Launched Disney Food Blog

By 17 Comments

If there’s anything we’ve learned here at Disney Food Blog over the last 15 years, we LOVE to talk about two very different things — food and abandoned Disney World places. We consider it a true treat when we can talk at length about one particular thing that is able to combine the two.

Hollywood Studios

While it’s true that Disney World restaurants are rolling out all the time, it’s always sad to see them close their doors for a final bow. It stings even more when one of those beloved restaurants helped launch our food reviews here at DFB, AND unknowingly at the time, helped us lay the foundation of what you know and trust about us today.

The BIGGEST “Pinch Me!” Moments from 15 Years of Running DFB

By 4 Comments

Believe it or not, DFB has been around for 15 years. We know, we can hardly believe it ourselves! We’re celebrating with a HUGE event — DFB Megafest!

MEGAFEST!

Over the years, the Disney Food Blog has grown, changed, and evolved — and some pretty epic things have happened in the process. Whether you’ve been a fan since Day 1 or if this is your very first time reading the blog (welcome!) we thought we’d share the biggest “pinch me!” moments from running DFB over the years.

I’ve Been Eating Disney World Food Professionally Since 2009 and I Have Two HIGHLY Controversial Takes.

By 6 Comments

Disney Food Blog specializes in a lot of different Disney news, but something we’ve been focused on for the longest time — about 15 years! — is in our name: Disney food!

We love Disney food!

We have a HUGE passion for all things Disney food here, and that means we’ve tried some amazing snacks and dining locations over the years and have also told you all about the ones we don’t recommend spending your time and money on. We’ll continue to do so for the years to come because things are pretty much always changing in the Disney parks. But we have to be honest with you — after all these years of reviewing Disney food, we have TWO wildly controversial opinions that you’ll either completely agree with or want to yell at your phone.

The Weirdest Things DFB Reporters Have Done to “Get the Shot” in 15 Years of Disney Parks Coverage

By Leave a Comment

Wow…15 years goes by SO fast.

You have no idea what we went through to get this photo

In that time, we’ve done a lot of running around Disney Parks, usually with some kind of food in our hands, trying to get that perfect photo. Meanwhile, we’re also taking photos of amazing Cast Members doing amazing things, Disney ducks (sorry, not sorry), baby animals, and more. But the food photos are what you really know us for, and you would not BELIEVE what we’ve done to get those great shots. So we’re going to tell you.

I’ve Been Begging Disney World to Add This For 12 Years, and I’m Not Going to Stop Now

By 7 Comments

For 15 years now, Disney Food Blog has been here to rate and review all of Disney World’s newest snacks.

EPCOT

But we also love to provide insight into what we personally think would be beneficial for Disney to do, or to implement into the parks. And what’s wild is that sometimes, it seems that Disney listens to us! Most recently, the hush puppies were removed from the menu at Columbia Harbour House in Magic Kingdom, and we were devastated. We let you all know, it became known VERY quickly that a lot of people were upset about the change, and within a week or so, the hush puppies were back on the menu! So Disney, if you were listening then, we hope you’re listening now too — it’s been 12 years, but we STILL THINK adding one of these into the Disney World parks would be incredibly useful.

The Awkward Reason I Will Never Ride Journey Into Imagination With Figment in Disney World Again

By 14 Comments

We love Figment and are enjoying all the new representation he is getting in the parks!

Hey Figment!

Besides Journey Into Imagination with Figment (which needs a serious update), we love that Disney recently added a Figment meet-and-greet in the Imagination Pavailion’s ImageWorks! Figment now even has his section at the newly re-opened and re-imagined Ever After store in Disney Springs. Although Figment is quite a lovable fellow, we don’t like to ride his attraction for this awkward reason.

After 15 Years of Covering Disney Food Professionally, Here Are 3 Restaurants That Have Never Let Me Down

By 9 Comments

Here at DFB, we’re REALLY into Disney food. Seriously, it’s right there in our name!

Spread from Regal Eagle

We’ve been covering Disney food and blogging about it for more than 15 years (!!!) at this point, which means we’ve been to every Disney restaurant, eaten hundreds (if not thousands) of snacks, and spent countless hours at EPCOT festivals.
