Cinderella Castle
Disney World has been a busy place this holiday season but there’s plenty to do with the debut of Jollywood Nights, the return of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and the gingerbread displays around the hotels. There is still a lot in store for the parks before the year ends — let’s check out what’s changing in Disney World in December!
When it comes to Disney, there are TONS of snack options to choose from.
Welcome to Walt Disney World!
We review lots of snacks here at DFB on a daily basis. When it comes to plant-based options for our vegetarian and vegan friends, it sometimes feels like the options are limited. So, we decided to check out and review some plant-based snacks we found around Walt Disney World, and now we need to tell you what we really think of them.
There are so many great reasons to visit Disney World’s resort hotels.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
From elaborately-themed lobbies and gift shops, to the cafes, and restaurants, and the delicious cuisine in which you can indulge — it’s safe to say that these hotels have much to offer. The best part? You don’t have to book at a room at any of these hotels to visit — you can just drop by for a few minutes to shop, grab coffee, or even check out the table-service restaurants. Speaking of which… some of our FAVORITE restaurants at Disney World can be found in the hotels. We’re going to one beloved restaurant today, and we’re taking you with us. It takes us to one of Disney’s Deluxe Resorts near EPCOT…
In order to find some of Disney World’s best meals, you’ll need to leave the parks.
Riverside Mill Food Court
Sure, we love the Cheeseburger Springs Rolls in Magic Kingdom, and Flame Tree Barbecue’s Pulled Pork Fries in Disney’s Animal Kingdom are iconic. But, Disney World’s hotels are full of some eats that you don’t want to miss! From Tonga Toast to Mickey Beignets, there are so many hidden gems outside of the parks. Over at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside, there’s a quick-service dining spot nestled along the water — Riverside Mill Food Court. I stopped by for lunch recently to see how it compares to some of our other favorite hotel spots — read on for the full review!
Happy Turkey Day, DFB Readers!
Cinderella Castle
You might be wondering what our big plans are for the day. Well, we’re at Disney World because we just can’t get enough of those holiday decorations, holiday snacks, and that everyday Disney magic! But what are crowds like on Thanksgiving? Well, leading up to the holiday, things were getting busier in Disney World, AND we saw Genie+ sell out at a record-high price. So, let’s take a look at crowds on ACTUAL Thanksgiving.
Something NEW has landed in EPCOT!
EPCOT
Okay, that’s not entirely surprising given the massive transformation this park has been going through, but hey, we’re still excited about it. Spaceship Earth is an iconic piece of this park, and it’s just received a NEW look thanks to an updated nighttime show — come check it out with us!
While Magic Kingdom is full of iconic Disney food, sometimes it can be hard to find a quality meal that won’t weigh you down.
Columbia Harbour House
We love Cheeseburger Spring Rolls, Disney fries, and the Nutella and Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich, but sometimes we just need something a little more substantial. One of our favorite places to get such a meal is at Columbia Harbour House, where you can find great options for seafood fans and landlubbers alike. Recently, they added a new entree to the menu, so I stopped by to check it out — come see how it went!
There are a lot of new additions coming to Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
We’ve got restaurants like EET by Maneet Chauhan and Summer House by the Lake coming soon, and a new store has just opened its doors as well. Get excited — the new Rothy’s store is open!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
