food IS a theme park
July 18th is National Hot Dog Day… and, boy oh boy, does Casey’s Corner in Magic Kingdom have a BIG WAY for you to celebrate…
Casey’s Corner
Though Casey’s always has Foot Long Hot Dogs on the menu, for one day only — Wednesday, July 18th — they will be serving up TWO FOOT LONG Hot Dogs! Not as in “two hot dogs,” nope! As in two feet in length! [Read more…]
Guests have been able to book Dessert Parties to enjoy a selection of desserts paired with guaranteed seating for a nighttime spectacular at three out of the four Disney World theme parks for some time now.
Nighttime Spectacular
Epcot hosts the Frozen Ever After Dessert Party, Hollywood Studios has the Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular Dessert Party, and Magic Kingdom offers three different Dessert Parties for Happily Ever After. But Animal Kingdom has never hosted one… until now. The Rivers of Light Dessert Party will kick off soon in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! [Read more…]
You can’t miss Pizzafari when you’re trekking through Discovery Island in Animal Kingdom. This brightly colored restaurant serves up Counter Service pizza, and it’s in what’s become a very popular area in the park, as it’s by the pathway that ends up bringing guests into Pandora — The World of AVATAR.
Pizzafari Sign
And beginning July 31st, a new service style will be coming to Pizzafari. While it will remain a Counter Service restaurant during the day, the location’s serving style will change from 5:00 – 8:00 pm daily offering the new Pizzafari Family Style Dining experience! [Read more…]
Every day brings us just a bit closer to the 2018 Epcot Food and Wine Festival! 
And we’re getting to the point where nearly each week is starting to reveal a bit more information about the Festival as well.
Take, for instance, the 2018 Low-Cost Seminars and Demonstrations — Beverage Seminars, Culinary Demonstrations, and the new Food & Beverage Pairings among them.
Though we shared the scheduled presenters for these low-cost seminars in June, there were — as is typical upon release — a few presenters and topics listed as “To Be Announced.”
But now, most of those items have been filled in!
So if the dates you are planning to visit the Food & Wine Festival had some previously undetermined events, be sure to look over the Low-Cost Seminars and Demonstrations Page here to see if your dates have been updated so you can make sure you’re making the most of all of your Festival options!

Walt Disney World
has something for everyone — from rides and attractions to resorts and dining. Today we’re visiting a sports fan’s go-to table service spot in Disney World: ESPN Club!
ESPN Club is an active, energetic restaurant located at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort and Villas. And as you might expect, it’s not only sports-themed from the walls to the menu, it’s also a fantastic place to watch the big game.
And since the World Cup is still lighting up screens around the globe, it’s important to know that there are TVs EVERYWHERE. Even in the bathrooms. Yup, you don’t have to miss a second of the game. (Priorities.)
The food, which might very well be secondary for a lot of diners, is OK. It’s no Flying Fish or Abracadabar — both located just a stone’s throw away. But you’re not really at ESPN Club for the eats; you’re there for the game! And the good news is: the food will fuel you long after the final whistle blows!
ESPN Club
The name of the game at ESPN Club is televised sports. And so the atmosphere really revolves around large screens sharing the latest must-watch games and events.
For its second year, Le Rendez-vous Gourmand is coming back to Disneyland Paris! This Food and Wine Festival for Disneyland Paris made its debut in 2017. And the 2018 dates have now been revealed!
