food IS a theme park
Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival 2018
kicks off on August 30 and runs through November 12! That’s 75 days of demos, drinks, and delicious eats! And you know the DFB: we’re on pins and needles waiting for food booth info — and menus, menus, menus!

If you want to maximize your fun — and your funds — you’ll want to do some advance planning.
Located on Sunset Boulevard, Rosie’s All-American Cafe at Walt Disney World’s Disney’s Hollywood Studios is a counter service joint serving up — you guessed it! — American style eats amidst World War II-inspired decor. In the past this place has been one of my least favorite counter service spots. But recently…there have been some changes!

Updated menu items include a Fried Green Tomato Sandwich…and this awesome and amazing new snack that’s been added to the menu!
Hi, friends! We’re back with another DFB Video today, and we’re talkin’ PIZZA in Disney World… the best AND the worst!
Piccante Signature Pizza from Via Napoli
Because who doesn’t love it? I mean, you really can’t go wrong with pizza… or can you? Thanks to the addition of a few new pizza joints over the past couple of years, there’s a larger range of choices for pizza in Disney World now than ever before. So we’d love to share our top (and bottom) picks with you so you can select the best slice — or pick the best pie — during your Disney World vacation! [Read more…]
at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World opens on June 30, and to say that we’re excited is a serious understatement! Shrinking to the size of a toy? Experiencing new rides? Seeing all the larger-than-life characters we’ve loved for decades in their glory? Yes, please! (Woody’s already there to greet us! See?!)
Toy Story Land says HOWDY!
So to tide us over until the land opens, we’ve been scouring the news for information about what we can expect in terms of attractions, rides, food, and merchandise — and we thought you’d want to see it all, too! So here we’ve gathered everything we know about Toy Story Land!
We’re just days away from June… and we’re ready to ring in summer with its arrival! In fact, we’re already having an INCREDIBLE SUMMER in Disney World!
Incredible Summer on Magic Kingdom Map
Magic Kingdom’s offering to the Disney World celebration (the highlight of which will be the opening of Toy Story Land in Hollywood Studios on June 30th) is the Incredible Tomorrowland Expo.
Welcome to the “new” Rix Sports Bar & Grill in Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort!
So, why is the “new” in quotes, you may ask? Well, that’s because for a long time, this particular space in Coronado Springs operated as Rix Lounge, providing guests and convention attendees at the Resort a place to drink and… well, lounge. The name changed to Rix Sports Bar & Grill a few months ago. However, it’s only recently that the location has transitioned to a full Table Service Restaurant serving both lunch and dinner, as well as serving up a place to catch a game or two.
And it makes sense. You see, Coronado Springs Resort is in the midst of a pretty major transition which — among other changes — will ultimately add 500 rooms to the Resort by way of a brand new tower (which will also feature rooftop dining). And with room for MANY more guests on the way, more dining options will be required, too.
So we’re here to check out the changes while trying out lunch at Rix Sports Bar & Grill!
If you’ve ever visited Rix Lounge, you’ll recognize the unique entrance, which remains the same tall structure, but with a change.

It now says Rix Sports Bar & Grill, of course!
LOTS of changes are in store (and some are already in progress) at Disney World’s Coronado Springs Resort. If you tuned into the DFB last week, you may have seen the in-progress pics of the construction of the tower that will add 500 rooms to the already expansive Resort.

We know that the addition of the tower will also deliver a rooftop dining experience to the Resort, complete with fireworks viewing!
And we’re also intrigued by the waterfront (or perhaps better said as on-the-water) dining option on the way, though less is known about it.
It’s Memorial Day! And even though we’re starting to get into summer, our minds are on fall today with our latest DFB Video, because we’re talking about the Epcot Food and Wine Festival!
