food IS a theme park
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has officially reopened! And one of the most popular bars at Disney World, Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto, has reopened with it.
Let us in!!
But getting into Trader Sam’s can be a little difficult. When we first visited upon reopening, we had to sign up to get into a virtual line, and we’ve even seen the virtual queue fill up fast.
Drinking around the world in EPCOT is how many guests spend their day at the park.
We’re off to a great start!
Mexico is known for its fun margaritas, Japan its delicious sake, and the U.K. has all those crazy combinations of beer and liquor you can try! And while those drinks are all great, wine is a HUGE part of many of the countries around the World Showcase, and it can sometimes be overlooked. Even though EPCOT does have the Food and Wine Festival each Fall, we sometimes think people don’t know about ALL the places in the park where you can find great wine!

Fourth of July weekend is still going strong in the parks as head to the parks to continue our celebrations in Disney World!
VERY patriotic
And, while the holiday brought us themed tarts and cupcakes, chili cheese dogs, and even reopened dining locations, there’s something else new swirling up in the World Showcase today!
When it comes to spicy food, most of us understand that there’s REAL spicy and…then there’s Disney spicy.
HOT!
And of course, Disney’s version of spicy food is usually tamed down to appeal more to the masses. But there are still some places at Disney World where you can get the real deal — the kind of food that will have steam coming out of your ears and make you break out into a sweat.
Hello from sunny Florida and Disney World!
Mango and Strawberry Sorbet Cone
We’ve been busy eating some fun summer treats including some new drinks, rainbow cupcakes, and Loki treats. But we’ve also been watching restaurant menus for changes and updates and there were quite a few this week, including a TON of price increases on some of our favorite drinks and snacks.
It’s almost summer, y’all!
Barefoot Pool Bar at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
That means time to hit the water parks, eat ice cream, and indulge in frozen drinks all over Disney World. And we’re on it!
Summer is upon us!! And since it’s June (Can you believe it???), that also means that it’s Pride Month.
How cute are these?
And Disney World is celebrating with merchandise and new sips and treats. Polite Pig has added a rainbow concoction to their menu with a brand new cocktail!
When it comes to bars, we keep going back to La Cava del Tequila at the Mexico Pavilion at EPCOT.
La Cava del Tequila
We’ve had some great drink experiences there, from an Agave Experience to some unique margaritas (like tomato) and a Not-So-Old-Fashioned. We’ve even had a special edition mezcal there — with grasshoppers! So we pay attention when something new gets added to the menu there!
Summer, summer, summer…time! It’s almost summer, and that means we’re swapping out our hoodies for tank tops, heading to the pools and water parks, and indulging in some summer fun at Disney World!
The Coca Cola Store is so cool
But we’re also trying some sweet summer treats, as well as some seasonal beverages, including pina coladas, strawberry funnel cake coffee, and a frozen flight of boozy drinks! Bring on the summertime vibes!
We’re big fans of secret menu things, maybe because it makes us feel all special and like we’re part of an elite Disney crowd.
We’re digging it…get it?
Of course, we will TOTALLY share all those secrets with you, because, hey, we’re all friends here. That’s why we’ve told you about secret menu guacamole, Galaxy loaded fries, seven layer cake, and a pork belly burger! And now we’ve got another one to share, so lean in close because we’re going to whisper it.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
