food IS a theme park
Disney World is full of some fantastic dining experiences, and checking them out is something we do a lot of here. We are Disney Food Blog, after all.

While there are plenty of meals we will sing about from the rooftops, there are some that we just can’t recommend. We know your time and money are precious in Disney World, so here are some meals you might want to avoid to have the best experience possible.
A BIG event is coming up soon in Disney World!

The 2024 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend takes place from January 3rd through the 7th, 2024. Now, we have a FIRST LOOK at some of the merchandise coming to the resort for the races! [Read more…]
Watch out! Some days are coming up when you may want to avoid EPCOT in Disney World.
EPCOT
A day spent in a crowded Disney World park is still usually better than just any old day at home, but if you can avoid the crowds, that’s even better. We’ve created a list of about 20 upcoming dates that are historically very crowded in EPCOT, based on our experience of visiting the theme parks every day for several years. If at all possible, try to avoid EPCOT on these days! [Read more…]
Listen. Vacation should be a time to SPLURGE. If you want to indulge in sweet treats for breakfast for a week straight, there will be absolutely no judgment from us.
Welcome to Contempo Cafe!
We typically go into our Disney World vacations with that mindset. A few days into the trip, however, we realize that our stomachs aren’t made of steel. IYKYK. Sometimes you have to opt for the meal with nutritional value, ya know? There are all SORTS of nutritional meals at Disney World that are still super yummy. Whether you’re remedying your past mistakes of sugar splurges, have an allergy or dietary restriction, or simply showed up with a heck ton of self discipline to begin with, we think you’ll love the meal we’re headed to grab. It’s over at Contempo Cafe at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Let’s go!
We hope you’re ready for big changes this year because Disney World will look a LOT different in 2024.
Magic Kingdom
In January alone, the Disney Dining Plan returned, all-day park hopping is back, and Park Pass reservations have gone away for most guests. With park hopping and Park Pass rules changing, how you book Virtual Queues, Individual Lightning Lane selections, and Genie+ selections looks a little different as well. Here’s what you need to know.
Do you know which Disney World restaurant has TWO locations?
Animal Kingdom
Yep, that’s right — Rainforest Cafe! The chain restaurant has spots in both Disney Springs and at Animal Kingdom Theme Park. But despite having multiple locations in Disney World and around the globe, Rainforest Cafe doesn’t exactly have the best reputation when it comes to the eats. Is it really as bad as people make it seem? I stopped by recently to try out some menu items and bring you a full review!
We’ve already seen LOTS of new treats in Disney World for the holiday season, but now four MORE are coming to celebrate!
We’re getting ready to ring in 2024
Starting this week, you’ll be able to find some special New Year’s treats at the Disney World parks and hotels. [Read more…]
You’ve heard us rave about it before, and you’ll hear us rave about it again — Mobile Ordering in Disney World.
Mobile Order sign in EPCOT
Sure, the My Disney Experience app has its flaws (quite a few of them actually), but one of our favorite features that it offers is Mobile Order! No need to wait in long lines at quick service restaurants when you order ahead. Sometimes Mobile Order can be frustrating when the parks are particularly busy and it gets backed up, but this week, we ran into an entirely different problem.
Disney Genie+ just hit its record-high holiday price in Disney World, days before Christmas.
Disney Genie
The skip-the-line service fluctuates in price based on expected crowd levels, so during particularly busy times like the holidays, you can expect pretty high prices! Today, it’s at the highest price we’ve seen yet. [Read more…]
Occasionally, Disney releases new merchandise and souvenir items that sell like HOTCAKES.
Lorcana
Out of all the merchandise Disney has released in 2023, the Lorcana Trading Cards have been among the most popular. A partnership with Ravensburger, these collectable cards allow Disney fans to participate in their very own tale throughout the card game. These were released in August 2023 and sold out FAST, restocked later in the year on shopDisney, and were even the first card games to EVER to be made available by virtual queue on Amazon. So… It’s safe to say these bad boys are pretty popular. If you’re hoping to get your hands on some, you’re in luck.
