food IS a theme park
It’s pumpkin szn, baby!!!
This is Halloween!
Yep, we’re smack dab in the middle of Halloween season, and Disney has been celebrating since August. This year, we’ve seen some fun Disney-themed Halloween snacks and merchandise, but what about the DECOR? Well, Mickey pumpkins are everywhere, and if you’re as obsessed as we are, you can grab your own version online.
If there’s one Disney World park that’s known for its wide variety of culinary options, it’s EPCOT!
Japan Pavilion in EPCOT
With 11 different countries in the World Showcase and at least one restaurant in each pavilion, there are SO many options. You can try eats from all over the world, and while some are pretty spectacular, others can be…lackluster. Recently, I stopped by one of the park’s least popular restaurants to see if it’s a hidden gem, or truly just a swing and a miss.
If you’ve been here a while, you know that we’re big fans of McDonald’s at DFB!
McDonald’s
We’ve been to the McDonald’s on Disney World property countless times, and you’ll often find us at the fast food giant to try out their new and unique menu items. Of course, we love looking out for the new Happy Meal themes when they’re released…and now there’s a very special one coming to select locations!
This week, we’ve been keeping a close eye on the path of Hurricane Milton.

The storm made landfall in Florida last night and many businesses and tourist destinations were closed in preparation for the bad weather. Among those locations that closed was Universal Orlando, but they’ve now released information about reopening.
There’s nothing we love more than a fun Disney snack!
Disneyland
I mean, we are the Disney FOOD Blog after all, and over the years, we’ve tried thousands of snacks in the Disney parks. But sometimes, we just want to go back to the classics — the treats you find at snack carts on Main Street, U.S.A. or in bakery cases around the park. And when we found out that Disneyland Park was doing a new version of a classic treat, we just had to get our hands on it!
If you’re heading to Disneyland Resort, you might be considering paying money to “skip the lines!”
Disneyland
Disneyland Resort’s skip-the-line system is called Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Lightning Lane Single Pass, and it allows you to pay per person to use the Lightning Lanes at the available attractions in the parks. Lightning Lanes will typically give you a much shorter wait time than a regular standby queue, so paying the extra cost may save you significant time during your trip…but what if that price got more expensive?
We all know that being a Disney fan can be PRICEY.

From frequent theme park trips to buying merchandise online, there are just SO many tempting ways to spend your money as a Disney fan. But if you’re planning on using some of that cash to head to Disneyland Resort soon, we’ve got a warning!
Hurricane Milton is heading straight for Central Florida, and it seems like everyone in the area is getting prepped.

We’ve already seen closures announced for the Orlando International Airport, Disney World, Universal Orlando, and more. Local authorities are encouraging residents to gather supplies and remain in safe areas. But what do you need to know to ride out the storm, especially if you’re riding it out in Disney World?
We’ve tried a LOT of snacks in Disney World, and when we say a lot, we mean that we wouldn’t be surprised if the number was in the THOUSANDS.
Grand Floridian Resort
From theme park classics to seasonal treats to new favorites, we’re constantly on the lookout for the latest and greatest things to eat on a Disney World trip, and we love sharing our thoughts (and our pictures!) with our followers. Every once in a while, we share one of those enticing Disney snack pics, and people seem to really latch on to the treat…which is what happened with an underrated hotel snack recently!

Businesses and residents of Central Florida have been preparing for the incoming storm. Both Disney World and Universal Orlando are planning temporary closures ahead of the storm, and locals are evacuating or preparing to shelter in place by stocking up on the essentials. Now that we’re mid-week and the storm is coming closer, what do things look like?
