10 Commandments of Disney Dining
Do you know all the secret paths and ways to beat the lines? Maybe you’ve got a top-secret perfect spot for catching the fireworks. Now that’s all well and good, but let’s talk about the most challenging aspect of Disney World — the food, specifically the “dining laws”! Yup, there are unwritten commandments for dining at the Most Magical Place on Earth, and we’re guessing you might have broken a couple (we sure have). Let’s dive right in!
As the Disney Food Blog, it should come as no surprise that we take great interest in the dining options in and around Disney World. So when a Disney World restaurant is recognized by a major food magazine, you know we’ll be covering it!
Waldorf Astoria Orlando
Some of the best dining options at Disney World aren’t found at the parks, but instead at the hotels. Such is the case with the Waldorf Astoria Orlando. The first Waldorf Astoria to open outside of New York, this Disney World resort is home to a steakhouse that was just recognized as one of Florida’s BEST.
Is there anything better than…FRIED DOUGH?
Funnel Cake
Funnel cake, churros, beignets…you can find them all in Disney World, and they are 🎵a few of my favorite things🎵. But today, I come to you with some sad news, because one of my favorite forms of fried dough is GONE. GONE, I tell you.
I’m here to tell you about my FAVORITE character meal, and my favorite character meal HACK in Magic Kingdom!
Let’s go!
Yep, I’m talking about Crystal Palace! This Magic Kingdom restaurant is home to a delightful character buffet during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But if you can’t decide between breakfast or lunch? You don’t have to! I recently made a trip to Crystal Palace where I got to experience TWO meals. And today, I’m bringing my full review of the experience and telling you how I did it!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure officially opens in the Magic Kingdom on June 28th.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
For the past couple of weeks, Disney has been holding previews for Cast Members, the media, Disney Vacation Club members, and Annual Passholders. Today, June 18th, is an Annual Passholder preview day in Magic Kingdom. But things have hit a major snag.
Free transportation in Disney World comes in many forms…
Disney World’s Skyliner
You can take the iconic Monorail, the uber-popular Skyliner, or a ubiquitous Disney World bus to get around the resort. But one of our favorite methods of transportation is by boat! Recently one of the boat routes in Disney World has been closed because of low water levels. But now, we’ve got a big change to tell you about!
EPCOT has FINALLY completed its massive transformation after nearly 5 years.
EPCOT
The final stage of this transformation was opening CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza, a new flex space to be used during EPCOT festivals complete with an outdoor stage to use for performances. While we won’t see another EPCOT festival until Food & Wine begins on August 29th. In the meantime though, Disney has a few different offerings to entertain guests in this space throughout the day, and we’re starting to think that these attractions could be a TEST for Disney World’s future.
When the sun goes down and the signs around Main Street, U.S.A. light up, the Magic Kingdom transforms as guests prepare for the Happily Ever After nighttime spectacular. The show is extremely popular, so if you plan to watch it on Main Street, be prepared to stand in a huge crowd.
Happily Ever After
Speaking of crowds, there’s a MAJOR holiday coming soon — and with it comes a special fireworks show — that will likely bring LOTS of people to the Magic Kingdom. Let’s talk about it!
