food IS a theme park
Flo’s V-8 Cafe in Cars Land at Disney California Adventure can help you travel back in time to enjoy the sights and tastes from decades ago. The interior has plenty of vintage car detailing, and the menu is packed with comfort food that puts a twist on some old favorites.

Our visits to Flo’s Cafe have left felt like a rollercoaster of highs and lows, so how have all the changes shaken out recently? We’re here to see if Flo’s is worth a pit stop!

Hello, friends! Are you ready for a WILD dining adventure? (Sorry for the bad pun, but it feels necessary when writing about Animal Kingdom.)
The Tree of Life
We recently decided to head over to Pizzafari, as they’ve made some slight changes to their “Family-Style Dining.” Not familiar? Don’t fret! We’ll walk you through everything! But essentially, in the evenings Pizzafari offers a special menu as part of an all you care to enjoy option. We enjoyed it when it first rolled out, but with a price increase and new options, would we still feel the same?

Hola amigos!
Cheers to Mexico!
As you may know, we here at DFB love the eats and drinks in Epcot’s Mexico Pavilion. From celebrity-crafted cocktails at La Cava del Tequila to the street corn at Choza de Margarita, it’s one of our favorite places for a snack and drink. But recently, we found ourselves in need of more than a light bite — so we decided to visit an old favorite: La Cantina de San Angel!
Grab your maschere (that’s “masks” in Italian!), it’s time for Carnevale in Disney Springs!
Carnevale!
A few days ago, we took a peek at the menu for the month of Carnevale at Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante in Disney Springs. This year, the celebrations of this iconic Venetian holiday are taking place in the evenings from now to February 29th. Of course, a huge aspect of Carnevale (besides the costumes and parties!) is the FOOD! So, you know we had to be there to check out what Maria & Enzo’s is serving up for the festival this year! Here’s our REVIEW of our evening at Maria & Enzo’s Carnevale Celebration!
We’ve been hard at work in the parks scoping out all the latest news for you! First, a few things to remember… .

Hey, DFB friends! Raise your hand if you’re a fan of Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’?! (FYI, we’re currently raising both hands!)
Homecomin’ Sign
We’re quite fond of this Disney Springs staple, and are always thrilled to find new items on its menu! Recently, we spotted a few new items on the Homecomin’ menu, and of course, we had to try some of them out to share our review with you — no need to twist our arm!
We’ve been anxiously awaiting the opening of Chef Hung Huynh’s new Downtown Disney spot Asian Street Eats since we heard it would be opening soon!

And now the wait is finally over! Well, almost! We’ve got our order in, and we’re just waiting for our pager to go off!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has a LOT of fantastic dining options.
For starters, there’s all-you-care-to-eat ‘Ohana, where family-style sides accompany huge skewers of grilled meat. Then there’s Kona Cafe, where plated table service meals — most with an island twist — fill diners’ stomachs. This one also offers a super fun character breakfast! And we can’t forget Tambu Lounge, where you can get not just the iconic Lapu Lapu (served in a pineapple!) but can also now order up favorite ‘Ohana bites like noodles, chicken wings, and (of course) ‘Ohana Bread Pudding. Then there’s Pineapple Lanai, where you can satisfy your craving for all things Dole Whip. Finally, we have two words for you: Twilight Feast (AKA — the most awesome in-room dining option on earth!).
But if you’re not full on swirls of fruit and Pineapple Coconut Bread, there’s a proper quick service option, too: Capt. Cook’s! Located on the lower level of the Great Ceremonial House with an exterior entrance on the Lagoon-side of the Resort and an interior entrance off the lobby en route to Trader Sam’s, Capt. Cook’s serves up a small menu — much smaller than the large food courts at Moderate and Value Resorts — of both Polynesian-inspired eats and American classics.

We’re trying some of each. So put down that skewer of ‘Ohana’s grilled shrimp; it’s time to grab some counter service eats at Capt. Cook’s! [Read more…]
