food IS a theme park
Get ready for a trip to the RAINFOREST!
Rainforest Cafe
Guests will find TWO Rainforest Cafe locations in Disney World — one in the Marketplace area of Disney Springs, and another right at the entrance to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. We headed out to the Rainforest Cafe in Animal Kingdom to see if the food holds up as well as the theming does!
Disney’s Pop Century Resort in Walt Disney World is welcoming back guests with a spooktacular concoction!
POP
In previous years, we’ve been met with a ton of competition for the best Halloween treats including Pumpkin Spice Milkshakes, Haunted Mansion wedding cakes, and villainous floats. A ton of these treats are making a return to Disney World this year, but we were curious whether a certain spooky drink would make come back.
So, guess what?? Pop’s Potion has made a return to Pop Century! We had the chance to get in the spirit of the season and try Pop’s Potion again. We had to see if tasted as good as last year, right?
Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC is located in Disney Springs and bakes fresh treats with vegan and gluten-free ingredients.
Sugar Rush Cake Bar from Erin McKenna’s Bakery NYC
We heard earlier that the bakery was mixing up a new Sugar Rush Cake Bar this month. We thought this would be a great opportunity to see what’s fresh and do a taste test of ALL THREE of the available cake bars right now! Let’s do a quick review of the Sugar Rush, Milk and Cookies, and Brownie Cake Bar.
Following Walt Disney World’s lengthy closure due to the global health crisis, Disney Springs, Disney World’s shopping and dining district, started welcoming back guests in May. Many of the district’s restaurants reopened in May while others followed suit throughout the last three months.
The Newly Reopened Edison
Three more restaurants reopened, The Edison, Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante, and Enzo’s Hideaway, a couple weeks ago and we had a chance to check one out! We decided to pop into The Edison and see if anything’s changed since the closure. (Spoiler: A LOT has changed!) Step inside the steampunk speakeasy with us and see what it’s like now!
Now that Magic Kingdom park is open again to guests, we decided to mosey on over Pecos Bill Tale Tale Inn and Cafe to see what we could rustle up!
Pecos Bill
Put on your cowboy boots (but, like, not really because it’s Florida and it is HOT!!) and settle in while we tell a tale of our time in the Wild West! Pecos Bill’s (as it’s more commonly known) is nestled in the heart of Frontierland and has long been a fan-favorite quick service dining location at Magic Kingdom park.
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has no shortage of great places to eat! And with Tambu Lounge officially reopened, guests now have even more options when choosing where to eat at the Poly.
Capt. Cook’s
But this trip, we’re scoping out Capt. Cook’s — the resort’s resident quick-service option. This spot offers up standard burgers, breakfast fare (we see you, Tonga Toast!), flatbreads, late-night snacks, and more — as well as more unique island-inspired dishes! We already swung (ok, more like RAN) by when we noticed that Pulled Pork Nachos were back on their menu! We wondered what other surprises would be in store for us this time… .
There is certainly NO shortage of places to eat at Disney World. 400 restaurants. 400!!
Disney World
But of all the quick service spots, grab-and-go food items, and table service restaurants, Wine Bar George is one of our FAVORITE places to eat, not just at Disney Springs but in ALL of Walt Disney World! And…interestingly, that’s something that just about everybody agrees with. That NEVER happens. So here’s why this restaurant seems to be universally perceived as practically perfect!
Disney World is a magical place to go on a vacay!
Enchanted Rose
But have you ever explored the spell-binding lounge at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa themed after Disney’s Beauty and the Beast? It’s called Enchanted Rose, and the space itself is very enchanting!
Now that we’re back in Disney World, you know that means we’re basically required to eat our way through the parks (for research, of course)!
Animal Kingdom
And over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, after we practically WALKED on Flight of Passage and Expedition Everest with the low wait times we’ve seen, we headed back to Tiffins for a lunch date!
EPCOT officially reopened a few weeks ago!
Spaceship Earth
While we’ve been suuuper busy eating our way around the world during the Taste of Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, we could never forget about all of the GREAT restaurants in World Showcase!
