food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at EPCOT!
EPCOT Entrance
And, we’ve got plenty of updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
If you know anything about Florida, then you’ll know there is a history between citrus fruits, like oranges, that play right into the state’s entertainment, food offerings, and more!
Amorette’s
And, that’s why Disney World has its own special connection with the Florida Citrus Commission, who helped bring the ever-famous Orange Bird to life in the parks. So, it’s no surprise that Disney Springs is going all out for the Flavors of Florida event with a Key lime milkshake, Key lime donut, watermelon Dole Whip, Key lime cookies, Orange Blossom Cupcake, and more! Of course, we couldn’t resist heading back for another taste of the ongoing event…but, this treat wasn’t what we expected!
While many Disney World staples are reopening and returning around the parks, there are still a few things that remain a mystery!
Cinderella Castle
We know that Trail’s End Restaurant at The Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness is reopening, but we still haven’t heard anything about the beloved Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue. There’s no word on if or when FastPass+ is coming back, and we’re still unsure if parades are returning, as it’s looking like cavalcades are here to stay for a while. One of the big things Disney hasn’t brought back yet is the Disney Dining Plan, but recently they announced that it WILL be returning! So, we wanted to remind you of a change to the plan that happened RIGHT before the closures that you may have forgotten about!
Update: The Disney Dining Plan is now available to book for vacations beginning January 9th, 2024. A full list of participating restaurants, pricing, and more has been revealed. Click here for our full page with the latest Disney Dining Plan updates.
Have you heard?? Disney World is bringing back the dining plan!
Mickey bar!
In their announcement yesterday about early theme park entry for select guests, Disney stated that Disney Dining Packages will return to the parks! So what do we know so far about the future of dining plans in Disney World?
It’s been almost one year since Disney World reopened to guests and things are starting to look a whole lot more “normal.”
Hello, castle!
Park hopping has been back since the new year, we’ve seen more fan-favorite restaurants announce their reopening dates, popular spots like Casey’s Corner are back, and Disney just keeps on releasing exciting news. And, today they’re finally answering the elusive question — will the Disney Dining Plan come back to Disney World?
‘Ohana’s bread pudding is a fan-favorite dessert in Disney World. And we’ve tried it out many times, just to make sure it’s still good. 😉

If you just need to have this dessert and you can’t make it to ‘Ohana once it reopens, we’ve got a printable recipe for you!
It’s always a great day in the parks when a beloved dining location reopens to guests! And, today has brought us the official return of the Eight Spoon Cafe in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Eight Spoon Cafe has reopened!
While the Eight Spoon Cafe may not seem super intriguing, it’s one of our favorite snack places with amazing pulled pork and mac you don’t want to miss! In honor of its reopening, of course, we’re taking you with us to try bites from the menu once again.
There’s so much to keep track of when you’re planning a Disney World trip!
Cinderella Castle
We want to help you have the most successful trip possible, so this is an important reminder to put down August 2nd as a very important date in your calendar if you’re visiting Disney World for the 50th anniversary!
How many times have you placed a Mobile Order at Disney World and just sat there waiting while your stomach was yelling at you to JUST EAT SOMETHING?!
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
Several aspects of Disney are returning to normal including health and safety measures, and the reopening of restaurants and experiences. Today, we noticed that a popular Disney World perk is opening back up!
One of the most anticipated restaurants coming to Disney World is Roundup Rodeo BBQ over in Toy Story Land. Disney has been quiet about the project for a while — until recently, that is!

Honestly, some people may have even forgotten it was happening, considering the lack of details compared to other recently opened and upcoming Disney World attractions, experiences, and more! But, don’t worry — we’re breaking down everything you need to know about Roundup Rodeo BBQ before its debut in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, including WHEN that will be happening!
