food IS a theme park
Sometimes we just have the itch to get out and see the rest of Disney World beyond the theme parks. When this is the case, we find ourselves strategizing which is the best course to take to end up by some of our favorite Disney World hotels.
The Artist’s Palette
On a recent visit to Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort, we decided to stop by that quick service restaurant there — The Artist’s Palette — for an early dinner and see if they had anything new to the menu to try!

Disney Springs is a not-so-hidden treasure trove of restaurants that’s able to satisfy just about every palate. So when we saw an opportunity to visit one of our favorite restaurant’s quick-service counter, we jumped at it.
We’re here for the drinks
If you’ve never had a chance to experience The Basket at WBG or it’s just been a while, it’s time you become reacquainted with an oldie but a goodie (and check out a few of their NEW menu items with us)! [Read more…]
If you’ve never been to Disney World before, you might be surprised by the number of truly FANCY places to dine around the property.
Flying Fish
Of course, it’s easy to find the usual chicken tenders and hot dogs, but if you’re a sucker for fine cuisine, it’s readily available at your fingertips. Disney World is home to several signature restaurants and fine dining experiences, and recently, I got to visit one of those spots. Come with me to Flying Fish at Disney’s BoardWalk!
Here at the Disney Food Blog, we take Disney food SERIOUSLY, and no matter how good we find a restaurant to be, we will always revisit to see if the quality holds. So come with us as we do just that at a Disneyland dining staple!
Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland
Disneyland Park is home to several popular attractions and, of course, some delicious restaurants. One of those restaurants is Plaza Inn! Located on Main Street, U.S.A., this restaurant opened with the park in 1955 (it was then called the Red Wagon Inn) and is still the only place in Disneyland Park to experience character dining. We recently visited our favorite Disneyland counter service location to see if it still holds up in 2024, and we have a lot to report!
There are quite literally DOZENS of places to eat in Disney Springs alone.
Disney Springs
The shopping and dining district is filled with everything from snack stands to quick service spots to high-end table service meals. Disney Springs is a great place for a fun night with friends or a chill weekend shopping spree, and the next time you visit, I might have a surprising restaurant recommendation to add to your list!
Have you ever just wandered around your Disney World hotel and thought “Gosh, this weather is just PERFECT for a meal outside!”? We certainly have!
Our entire meal!
We had a few good meals at pool bars around other Disney World hotels like Banana Cabana and PB&G, so when we started getting hungry, we figured a pool bar was a great place to stop again and see if we could continue that lucky streak even further! [Read more…]
It’s finally BACK, and we’re so excited to share our experience!
Let’s try out the new dinner at 1900 Park Fare!
What’s back, you may ask? Why, it’s 1900 Park Fare of course! We visited the Grand Floridian Resort restaurant on its official reopening day of April 10th, 2024, more than four years after it closed due to the 2020 pandemic. With the reopening, you can now grab breakfast and dinner here once again, and we’re taking you along with us to experience our meal. Let’s dive in!
If you’ve been to Disney World in the past, you’ve probably tried many of the restaurants in the parks and a few in Disney Springs, but sometimes, the HOTEL restaurants are where it’s at!
Port Orleans Resort — Riverside
Some of the best food in all of Disney World is located at the resorts, and we’ve got a long list of hidden gems that are often overlooked. During your next trip, you might want to venture outside of your typical dining comfort zone, and if you’re interested in trying something new, then you need to check out this dining review!
We talk about different foods around Magic Kingdom a lot, and most of the time they’re newer creations like the Buffalo Chicken Flatbread that debuted last fall. So where do you opt to eat when it’s creeping close to lunchtime, your kids are getting antsy, and you’re not looking to overspend on food?
Jackpot!
Before you decide to throw in the towel (and the big bucks) for a buffet that seems like a one-size-fits-all solution, we’ve got another option for you to consider. [Read more…]
This is the Disney Food Blog, so obviously we LOVE Disney restaurants. However, that doesn’t mean we wouldn’t change any of them…
Cinderella Castle
Magic Kingdom is home to some iconic Disney restaurants, including some we adore. With that said, there is ONE Magic Kingdom restaurant that we have some beef with. The Diamond Horseshoe has us feeling a certain type of way, and it’s not good.
