food IS a theme park
It’s always an exciting day when something NEW comes to Disney World!
Disney Springs
And, these days, it seems like something new is always popping up around the parks, hotels, and more — especially at Disney Springs. This shopping and dining district is one of our favorite places to visit at Disney World which doesn’t require a ticket. There are so many different places to explore — and soon, a new pop-up store will be joining the mix!
While the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays doesn’t kick off until the end of November, we spotted something exciting about this year’s festival!
EPCOT Festival of the Holidays
The 2024 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is well underway with some delicious food and drinks. We are still enjoying everything the festival has to offer (including our favorite dishes of the festival), but we also can’t help but plan for EPCOT’s next festival.Â
Here at Disney Food Blog, it’s more than just our job to bring you the latest food news from Disney World. We consider it our duty.
Port Orleans — French Quarter
And, we wouldn’t be doing our duty if we didn’t remind you about this important dining change! Whether you’ve got an upcoming stay at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort or just have a hankerin’ for those soft, warm, pillowy beignets — don’t forget about this important warning.
A Disney World store is set to reopen soon — or is it?
Candy Cauldron
We often see stores, rides, and even restaurants close for the occasional bit of necessary refurbishment, like the Candy Cauldron at Disney Springs. This haven for sugar fiends has been closed since August and we thought we had seen the light at the end of the tunnel coming up, but it turns out we may have been wrong after all.
Of all the parks in Disney World, when it comes to eating and drinking, EPCOT could be one of our favorite places to visit.
EPCOT
That’s because you can literally take a trip around the world (or at least to 11 countries) over the course of a day (or a few hours if you’re feeling ambitious) and you can drink around the world, grabbing cocktails and liquors from each country. But forget that. We’ve got a better idea (okay, this was actually an idea from one of our readers). Instead of drinking around the world, let’s SNACK around the world instead!
No matter when you visit Disney World, chances are it won’t be the same as the last time you were there.
EPCOT
The parks and hotels are changing all the time and you never know what you might stumble upon on your trip! Of course, we’re always on the hunt for the NEWEST foods to try when we’re in the parks, and we happened to spot a new menu item at one of our favorite EPCOT restaurants.
You’ll find TONS of souvenirs around Disney World. Disney offers lots of variety in their merchandise, so you’ll likely find something you love and want to take home.
You’ll find LOTS of souvenirs at The Emporium in Magic Kingdom.
Some items are typically more popular than others and can be found at several locations, including multiple parks. Some of these items are Loungefly backpacks, t-shirts, Spirit Jersey shirts, and, of course, Mickey and Minnie ears. But Cast Members have recently noticed the rising popularity of certain souvenirs that you can only find in one spot in all of Disney World!
I’ve been going to Disney World for the better part of 30 years, so by now you’d think I would know the parks like the back of my hand.
Magic Kingdom
Well, the joke’s on you because I don’t know the back of my hand very well. Just kidding, but being that I am rather directionally challenged and get turned around a lot — I definitely still don’t know all the ins and outs of the parks or what the best shortcuts are. I like to blissfully stroll from place to place like a fairy in a forest. A fairy that also probably has a tequila-based drink in her hand. And if you’re anything like me, you might want to know about these shortcuts!

So, here at Disney Food Blog, we have serious opinions about Disney food — it’s kinda what we do.
Mickey pretzel
We’ll be the first to let you know about new snacks in Disney World, as well as get you updated reviews when restaurants change their menus. We’ll also talk a LOT about some of our favorite snacks (oh, Dole Whip, how do we love thee?), but we also have some snacks we just don’t like…like at all. However, now we’re going to have a chat about snacks that are just WAY overrated.Â
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
