food IS a theme park
As Disney World continues with its phased reopening, certain elements or experiences remain unavailable.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa
However, while certain hotels, restaurants, and attractions are still closed, we’re slowly seeing others reopen. Earlier this year, Disney’s Beach Club Resort reopened in full, and Tusker House welcomed guests again! But if you’re planning a stay at a Disney hotel, you’ll want to know about another returning option.
You’re headed to Disney World and figuring out where to eat…but you have over 200 restaurants to choose from!
Magic Kingdom in Disney World
How do you weed out the ones that aren’t for you??
Craving a good ol’ cup of coffee?
Joffrey’s Coffee
We’re gonna be real with you: sometimes you need your caffeine fix, and you need it FAST. And waiting in lines can feel like a major inconvenience! We’ve seen Mobile Order debut for Quick Service restaurants in Disney World, allowing you to order ahead and pick up your food at a designated time — and now, that option has arrived for COFFEE.
At the start of 2021, Disney World stopped sending free MagicBands to their on-site resort guests. Those guests would now need to either reuse an old MagicBand or purchase a new one, either online ahead of their vacation or at one of the gift shops in Disney World.
There are a TON of colors and styles to choose from!
Since then, Disney World launched MagicMobile, a new way of using your smart phone for park admission, FastPass+ redemption (when available), and (eventually) as a payment method. With your phone essentially acting as a MagicBand, and a revamped MagicBand+ on the way, is it time to toss all of those old wearable devices in the trash?
There’s nothing like buying a Mickey Balloon that lets you know that you are DEFINITELY in Disney World. Whether you buy one on every trip or you just enjoy watching them float along Main Street, U.S.A., the balloons are a special Disney World souvenir that brings a whole bunch of smiles to a whole bunch of people!
We sure love Mickey Balloons, even if they are a tad overpriced!
That’s why we get REALLY excited when we spot new balloons around the resort, and this latest design available in Disney Springs is perfect if you’re a fan of the new “Kingdom of Cute” collection!
Not too long ago, Disney announced that Tusker House Restaurant would be reopening with character dining in Disney’s Animal Kingdom this summer!

Earlier today, Disney shared the official date on which the restaurant will reopen and when reservations will become available. But there was still one thing we were waiting on…details about the food that would be served and the cost! Now, menus and pricing have been released for all of the meals that will be served at Tusker House and we’re sharing all of that information right here with you.
Magic Kingdom has a LOT of iconic rides.
PeopleMover
One of which is the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover. We’re still relishing the fact that we can ride the PeopleMover again after over a year of closure, but everything hasn’t gone off without a hitch. Just yesterday, the ride had to be evacuated, and (spoiler alert), today was no different.
It’s warmin’ up in Florida, and we’re craving something SWEET!
Good’s Food To Go
Now, we’ve tried lots of treats lately, from donuts to cake to refreshing sips. But on a recent trip to Disney’s Old Key West Resort, we noticed something new up for grabs!
Disney World is chock full of iconic treats and we love to talk about them. They don’t call us the Disney FOOD Blog for nothing!
Chocolate Twist
If you’ve made a few visits to Magic Kingdom, you probably know about the Cheshire Cat Tail, a delicious pastry that just might be the pinnacle of grab ‘n’ go breakfast (or snack!). Well, Magic Kingdom isn’t the only park where you can find similar pastries and you can even find a DUPE for $1.50 cheaper… . Let’s chat about it!
Spring roll fans: we’ve got GREAT news!
Spring Rolls
You know we love chowing down on Spring Rolls in Magic Kingdom, and we’re just happy to have the Adventureland cart back open. But recently, we stumbled upon a sweet, sweet surprise: Buffalo Chicken Spring Rolls are BACK on the menu!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
