food IS a theme park
We’ve been keeping track of ALL the dining updates in a reopened Disney World.
Aloha Isle
From the new Mobile Dine Walk-up Waitlist feature to Table Service To Go options in the existing Mobile Order function, the My Disney Experience app has seen some expansions when it comes to mobile dining. Today, it appears that Mobile Order experiencing some technical difficulties.Â
Walt Disney World has officially been reopened for a little over two months now.
Main Street, USA
Despite reduced park capacity, it hasn’t necessarily been any easier to get reservations at some of Disney World’s most popular dining spots, like Be Our Guest Restaurant, California Grill, or Topolino’s Terrace.
There have been some exciting developments in the world of Disney dining this week! Chefs de France, which has remained closed since EPCOT reopened in July, started to show some signs of life on its website page, hinting that it may be preparing to welcome guests back! Signs now point to a potential early October opening, although reservations are still unavailable as of this writing and we have yet to hear an official announcement.
Chefs de France
As the restaurant prepares to reopen, we CAN announce that we noticed some MAJOR cutbacks to their menu. Once Chefs de France reopens, there will only be a fraction of appetizers, entrees, and desserts to order for lunch and dinner.
The France Pavilion in EPCOT has some pretty delicious dining options.
Chefs de France
You might remember that though Chefs de France has been closed since the reopening of Disney World, we spotted some hours pop up for the restaurant this Friday. Those hours have since been removed and now, there are hours showing up for a DIFFERENT date. Could this be when we’ll be dining on French Onion Soup again?
It seems like Disney World is getting a lot busier on weekends. We expected it on holiday weekends like Labor Day for example, but it looks like that’s extended into the rest of the year, too.
Hollywood Studios
Since the theme parks reopened, Annual Passholders (and other guests) have had to snag a Disney Park Pass reservations before entering the park. Reservations, especially for Disney’s Hollywood Studios have been filling up FAST. Thus meaning APs are having to book weeks, and sometimes months in advance if they’re looking to visit Hollywood Studios.
Can you ever have too many Halloween snacks at Disney World? Survey says…no way!
The Artisan’s Palette
We’ve tried LOTS of pumpkin spice treats, adorable Halloween cupcakes, spooktacular cotton candy, and more! Now, we’ve spotted another Halloween cupcake in Disney World, and we just had to give it a try to see how it stacks up against all the rest!
Halloweentime is in full swing in Disney World and we’ve got MORE treats to try!
Halloween Decorations
We’ve already had a BUNCH of delicious fall and Halloween delights like the Pumpkin Whoopie Pie, the Not So Poison Apple Cupcake, and the Pumpkin Cheesecake Cannoli. Now, we’re trying another Halloween eat — and this one is for the cookie fanatics!
It’s the 40th anniversary of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and we’ve seen a lot of awesome merch already released. But the coolest and most popular items were part of the Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Collection.
Minnie Mouse’s Main Attraction Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Ears
And items from that collection are hard to come by: we recently saw a pretty long line in Magic Kingdom when we tried to get our hands on some of that sweet merch at Disney World.
We’re back on the Halloween Treat Trail with another seasonal snack from Disney World!Â
Halloween Treats at Saratoga Springs Resort
After tasting (and falling in love with) the Pumpkin Whoopie Pie available at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, we wondered what other delectable Whoopie Pies we could fill our bellies with. Our search has brought us to Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort! But does this pie measure up?
Rain or shine, it’s always fun to take a walk around EPCOT and see what’s new!
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
From new items available at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival to a whole line of Fish & Chips MERCH in the United Kingdom pavilion(!!), come with us on a trip around the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow to see what new things we spotted!
