DFB Video: Food Tour of Epcot’s American Adventure Pavilion
Hey Guys! We’re back with another DFB Video this weekend, and we’re taking you on a Food Tour of Epcot’s American Adventure Pavilion!
Admittedly, with so many unique and interesting dining options around Epcot’s World Showcase, the American Adventure Pavilion doesn’t really spring to mind when it comes to eating in Epcot. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few surprises tucked in this Pavilion. From its own Craft Beer kiosk to a terrific new dessert in the Pavilion’s Counter Service location, Liberty Inn, there are indeed some FOOD adventures to be had while you’re having your own American Adventure! Find out more about them in our latest DFB YouTube Video! [Read more…]
Pixar Fest Eats: Adventure Tart Inspired by UP! at Jolly Holiday Bakery
The Disney-Pixar film Up! is known for its steadfast commitment to adventuring — and in that spirit, the foodie brains behind Jolly Holiday Bakery‘s contributions to Pixar Fest at Disneyland Resort have created a tart in that same spirit: the Adventure Tart. And while the flavors aren’t going to transport you to another land, it’ll still leave you satisfied with the journey.
The tart appears to be in the spirit of everyone’s favorite childhood breakfast dessert: a Pop Tart. In shape and in composition, the Adventure Tart mimics this cereal-aisle gem. The rectangular Adventure Tart is covered in a thin layer of nondescript glaze on which is attached an iconic image from the film: Carl, Russell, Dug, and the ubiquitous house kept aloft by colorful balloons.
Review: “Millennial Pink” Cupcakes at Walt Disney World!
You’re ready to jump on the “Millennial Pink” treat bandwagon. We know. That soft pink is kind of irresistible. And thankfully, there’s no need to resist! We gave you the inside scoop about the many pink things that have popped up in Walt Disney World, and today we’re getting up close and personal with two Millennial Pink cupcakes!
We’ll start in one of the best food courts in the World: Landscape of Flavors at Art of Animation Resort!
What’s the New Bourbon Trail in Disney Springs?! Find Out Here!
Starting May 1st, you can explore the new BOURBON TRAIL in Disney Springs!

(Or you can find the information at any of the participating restaurants.) [Read more…]
Grab an Anniversary Cupcake at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto… But ACT FAST!
Have you enjoyed raising a glass at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto in Disney’s Polynesian Resort anytime over the past three years?
Then maybe you’ll want to celebrate the Grotto’s 3rd “official” Anniversary with a CUPCAKE! But you’ve got to act fast… like, really fast. [Read more…]
Should I Use Disney World’s Minnie Vans? Minnie Van Pros and Cons
Picture this: You have an Advance Dining Reservation at Polynesian Village Resort’s ‘Ohana, but you’ve just finished getting your swim on at Animal Kingdom Lodge. How do you get from point A to point B?
You could use Disney transportation, which would entail a lengthy bus ride from Animal Kingdom Lodge to Magic Kingdom, then a transfer to either the Resort Monorail Loop or the boat to the Poly.
But what if one or more of these modes of transportation is delayed? What about the meats?! How will you get your Lapu Lapu?! The ‘Ohana Bread Pudding is slipping through your fingers!
The New Tangaroa Terrace Menu at Disneyland Hotel May Look Familiar…
Every once in a while a menu change at Disneyland Resort or Walt Disney World sparks a flame of excitement for the DFB — and this is one of those times! Our Disneyland correspondent Heather (keepin’ it tasty @DiningInDisney on Instagram!) headed to Tangaroa Terrace at Disneyland Hotel recently — only to discover that the new menu she’d been so anxious to try is basically the same menu that can be found at Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar (also located at the Disneyland Hotel)!
Advance Dining Reservations for Terralina Crafted Italian Now Available
Just last week we shared a look at the full menu for Terralina Crafted Italian coming to Disney Springs.
And today we are sharing that Advance Dining Reservations for the restaurant are now available to book via the Disney World website! [Read more…]
