Y’all, we have seen a lot of food,eaten a lot of food, and taken a lot of photos of food this week.
Candy Corn Milkshake
Why? Because Halloween snacks have arrived PLUS we went to the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Magic Kingdom and we ate ALL the party-exclusive snacks there, too. SO much food. But we’re back with MORE food news, this time to tell you about changes happening at Disney World restaurants.

When you think about Disney World dining, what restaurants come to mind? For lots of guests, the “flashy” spots like Cinderella’s Royal Table, Be Our Guest Restaurant, and Chef Mickey’s are right at the top of the list. But there are some serious hidden gems located around Disney World that shouldn’t be slept on!
Everything is always changing in Disney World.

Right now, some things are changing on World Showcase Lagoon in EPCOT (and some Disney fans might not be happy about it). Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is in the middle of construction for new Disney Vacation Club villas. New restaurants are on the way, as are new attractions. But restaurant menu changes are also happening regularly at Disney World restaurants.
The ONLY thing we’ve been thinking about this week is food. Okay, well, that’s every week, but even MORE so this week because the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival has officially kicked off.

So while we were eating our way around the world, eating ALL the cheese, and buying new festival merchandise, we were also keeping an eye on Disney World restaurant menus for changes. So let’s look at how those restaurants have changed recently.

Disney World is known for being the Most Magical Place on Earth, but occasionally, something really magical happens.
Magic Kingdom
Actually, it happens pretty frequently — we’re talking about baby animals born in Disney World! You won’t find these babies hiding out at just Animal Kingdom, either. In fact, you won’t believe where some of these events have taken place — and that’s why we’re sharing every adorable baby born in Disney World this year.
So, we talk a LOT about eating in Disney World. We ARE the Disney FOOD Blog, after all.
Disney World animals have to eat, too!
So yes, we’re going to talk about some of our favorite restaurants, as well as our favorite snacks. We’re also going to tell you about new foods in Disney World, as well as some of the best meals.
