food IS a theme park
Last week, loads of menu updates and price increases hit Disney World restaurants.
Akershus Royal Banquet Hall
This week, we got some big news about the reopening of Akershus Royal Banquet Hall in EPCOT and got a reopening date for Fantasmic! in Hollywood Studios, as well as the return of the Fantasmic! dining packages. We’ve got menu updates, too, so let’s take a look at those.

Disney World breakfast is MORE than just your standard plate of bacon and eggs. So let’s start your day off on the right foot with some of the BEST Disney World breakfasts on property!
Welcome to Disney World!
If you’re one of those Disney vacation folks who think breakfast is the most IMPORTANT meal of the day, then you’ve come to the right place. But stick around even if you’re not big on the breakfast scene because we’re gonna be looking at not just some of our FAVORITE places to dine for the A.M. at Disney World, but also some of the most convenient AND unique offerings (that may change how you look at breakfast foods entirely).
We talk about delicious food inside the Disney World parks all the time, but that’s not the only place you can find tasty eats in Disney World.
Spice Road Table spread in EPCOT
Sure, there are some great options in the parks, from Dole Whips to hot dogs to cheeseburger springs rolls. But, there’s also a TON of great food at the Disney World hotels! So, we’re going to tell you about the places to eat that are worth leaving the theme parks for in Disney World.
Well, we saw a lot of price increases in Disney World this week.
Be Our Guest Restaurant
Some were for food (we’ll get to that in a bit), but we also saw a price increase for Genie+ and the service switched to flexible pricing, meaning you’ll pay even more when demand is high. We’ve touched a little upon the food increases, but here’s the thing — there were a LOT more and we’re unpacking ALL those restaurant menu changes for you right here.
Staying at one of the Disney World hotels provides a few valuable perks to a Disney vacation. You have access to free transportation to and from the parks, you can take advantage of Early Theme Park Entry, and there are often fun Disney-themed activities going on around the hotels.
