food IS a theme park
If there’s ONE accessory we recommend you bring to Disney World, it’s a water bottle!
Water bottles for days!
Water bottles can be an absolute lifesaver in the parks, especially in the summer. Sure, you can get free cups of ice water at quick service restaurants, but you don’t want to keep stopping to get those when you can just fill up your bottle and go! That’s why we’re rounding up our picks for the BEST water bottles for Disney World. Let’s dive in.
It’s no secret that some of the best restaurants in Disney World are NOT in the parks!
The Polynesian Village Resort
There are several restaurants run by James Beard Award-winning chefs in Disney Springs, and many of the dining locations at the hotels are absolutely spectacular. Recently, I got the chance to visit one of those beloved Disney World hotel restaurants, but not for the meal you’d think! And now, I’m bringing you my full review.
Hi, I’m Lydia. I eat a LOT of Disney World food. Like, more Disney food in a couple months than most people will eat in a lifetime. Why? Because I’m a DFB reporter!
Cinderella Castle
It’s part of my job to try new Disney World snacks and do full-scale reviews of Disney World restaurants. But besides all of that, I’m also in the parks several days a week, and a girl’s gotta eat lunch! To add variety and to expand my Disney food palette, I set a challenge for myself — to eat at every quick service restaurant in Disney World.
The Walt Disney Company just dropped a bunch of news.
Disney California Adventure
Each quarter, the company releases an earnings report and then hosts an earnings call to review the numbers and answer pressing questions. We typically learn quite a bit of information from these calls, and after the 2024 Q2 earnings results were released, we have some predictions about changes coming soon to Disneyland Resort.
I’m a Disney World reporter, and whenever I say that, people have a LOT of questions!
Cinderella Castle
It’s a pretty rare job, and so friends, family members, and strangers are often curious about what it is that I actually do on a workday. Me and my reporter teammates get asked many of the same questions over and over again, so I’m coming clean today! I’m here to answer the most popular questions about my job.
Disney World is rife with little snack stands, but not all of them are created equal!
Magic Kingdom
Some of the snack stands have hidden gems and our favorite treats (like Eight Spoon Cafe or Cheshire Cafe), while others are probably okay to completely skip. Recently, I stopped by one of these stands in Magic Kingdom to review its whole menu — let’s go to Westward Ho Refreshments!

Some of the best food in Disney World can actually be found OUTSIDE the parks.
Disney Springs
The Disney World hotels are known for having some pretty spectacular restaurants, but there are also dozens of delicious dining options in Disney Springs — from snack stands to quick service to sit-down meals. Recently, I stopped by one of the shopping and dining complex’s most well-known restaurants…and I’m here to bring you my full review!
