food IS a theme park
While it might not seem obvious, a Disney World vacation can be very demure, very mindful.
So peaceful
We often write about how hectic a Disney World vacation can be, but that doesn’t mean a trip can’t be practical and relaxing. Planning a Disney World trip can be chaotic and stressful, so we’re coming to the rescue with some tips on hotels that are quintessentially demure!
There are a LOT of truly spectacular restaurants in Disney World, and then there are some that are…well…NOT.
Let’s go to the Turf Club!
With hundreds of restaurants spread across the property, they can’t all be winners, and we often see the same spots falling to the bottom of the list again and again. Recently, one of those restaurants got an updated menu, so I stopped by to see if it was still as lackluster as we remembered. Come along with me to review The Turf Club Bar & Grill!
Okay, we tried LOTS of new food this week in Disney World — and we’re not mad about it.
Loaded Totcho Bowl
First, we found a Loaded Totcho Bowl at Wilderness Lodge, and it is officially one of our favorite Disney World breakfasts. We also had a chance to dive into a DELICIOUS new boozy snack at the Contemporary Resort. We also dove into the new exclusive Annual Passholder treat now available at Hollywood Studios. All we can say is YUM. Now, we’re taking a look at Disney World restaurant menus to see what else has changed.
Picture it: You’re in Disney World, having the time of your life! You’re hitting all the rides you want using Disney Genie+ and by checking wait times on the My Disney Experience app. You’re eating everything on your Dining Bucket List with a little help from Mobile Order and all the Advance Dining Reservations you’ve made. Then suddenly it’s the perfect moment to snap that precious picture of your little one with the one and only MICKEY MOUSE! And THAT’S when it happens…
Hey, Mickey!
You’ve received the dreaded “Low Battery” message on your phone. We’ve all been there… and frankly, we’ve been there more often these days with all of the trip planning tools available on our phones, which also happen to be our cameras. You’ve got to recharge your phone, but what if you don’t have your own charger, or maybe you’ve forgotten your charging cord? Good news: There’s a fix to this problem right in the Disney World parks and Resorts… and it’s available at more locations than you might think! [Read more…]
We’ve made it to May, y’all!
It’s so pretty!
Granted, it already feels like summer in Disney World (yes, it’s getting hot out), but that hasn’t stopped us from celebrating Hollywood Studios’ 35th Anniversary, seeing what new cookies Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs is offering this month, and chowing down on what is essentially a massive cake pop. We’ve also been keeping an eye on Disney World restaurant menus, and the beginning of a new month has brought a LOT of changes.
It’s Spring Break in Disney World and we’re dealing with a lot of crowds right now.
Pizzafari
That hasn’t stopped us from trying out some new treats this week, though, like a Carrot Tart, a Tower of Terror-themed cookie, Easter Egg macarons, and more. However, Disney World restaurants have been switching up their menus this week, too, so we’ve also been tracking those. Let’s see what changed!
From time to time, you’ll see construction and refurbishments going on at different hotels around Disney World.
Saratoga Springs Resort
Disney works hard at keeping their hotels updated and looking nice. They want you to feel like you’re at home away from home. We’ve seen a lot of work going on at hotels like Disney’s Polynesian Resort, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, Disney’s Coronado Springs, and Disney’s Beach Club. These hotels have been getting some re-theming and upgrading to their rooms. But there’s one hotel that comes to mind when we think about which hotels have not gotten much love recently.
Don’t count on a Disney World restaurant to have the same menu as the last time you visited.
Burger from Paddock Grill
Why? That’s because Disney World is always changing up menus, adding seasonal foods, and changing prices. For example, the Fantasmic! dining package just went up in price. But that’s not the only big change we had this week in the world of Disney dining: some restaurants also just changed their menus.
Sometimes when you stay at some of the largest Disney World hotels, you want to find food nearby … especially if you’re REALLY hungry.
Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort
We’ve recently seen upgrades to Disney World hotel pool bars and lounge menus, but how do some of the hotels that haven’t seen changes to their menu lately compare? [Read more…]
Another week in Disney World has passed, which means we’ve seen some changes at restaurants.
Frozen Tart
For starters, we discovered a new Frozen treat at EPCOT, and we got a hint about when Narcoossee’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa might finally reopen. We also got confirmation of what will be returning to this year’s EPCOT Festival of the Holidays. In the meantime, menus were also changing in Disney World, so let’s take a look at those.
