food IS a theme park
We’ve had an exciting week here at Disney Food Blog.

A new restaurant, Roundup Rodeo BBQ, has officially opened in Disney World. We got to check it out a little early AND we were there on opening day! But we also spotted some menu changes at EPCOT’s Coral Reef Restaurant, updates when it comes to 50th Anniversary snacks, and more. Let’s take a look at everything that has changed this week when it comes to Disney food!
Now that the 100th anniversary has kicked off, Disneyland is the place to BE!
Disneyland
Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is the newest ride in Disneyland and the reimagined Toontown has fully reopened with a new restaurant and a new character! But what else has been going on around the parks lately? Well, we’re here to show you!
In 2022, we got some HUGE news about something exciting at one of Disneyland’s hotels: we learned that Paradise Pier Hotel would be re-imagined as a Pixar-themed hotel.

It will be called Pixar Place Hotel, and be dedicated to ALL things Pixar and will “weave the artistry of Pixar into its comfortable, contemporary setting.” We haven’t had a lot of updates from Disney about the newly-reimagined hotel, but we visited the site recently to see its progress!
It’s time to talk about candy! We’re talking about those rows and rows of candy bars and candy that line the aisles at grocery stores.
Skittles
Do you have a favorite? Maybe it’s M&Ms (and if so, you should DEFINITELY visit the M&Ms Store in Disney Springs). Or maybe the combo of peanut butter and chocolate in Reese’s makes you happy. Perhaps your favorite candy is Skittles, but if that’s the case, we could have some bad news.
Disney World is constantly CHANGING.
BoardWalk
From changes with Genie+ to adjustments on Annual Passholder perks and park map updates, there’s a lot going on. But now we’ve got some clues about potential other changes coming to Disney World, particularly at its resort hotels. Let’s dive into them right now!
You know what’s fun about Easter in Disney World?
Easter Bunny in Magic Kingdom
Well, the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival Egg-Stravaganza is a BLAST, but we also love seeing the Easter bunny on the day. However, the BEST part — and you know where we’re going with this — is the SNACKS. Because we are here for all the bunny butts and carrot-inspired treats! Now there’s a NEW Easter treat to try!
We don’t know about you, but our Disney trips revolve around food!
We love Disney food!
While some guests might be waiting for the return of the Disney Dining Plan, there is still one way to save on dining for your Disney vacation. The Disney Dining Promo Card is a new offer this year for guests who book a minimum 5-night stay at a Disney World Resort with at least 4 days of tickets. But hurry, because this deal is ending tomorrow!
We’re heading back into Magic Kingdom because there’s a LOT happening in this park.
Magic Kingdom
TRON is currently in its soft opening, the 50th Anniversary is disappearing before our eyes, and spring break crowds are still majorly present in the parks. So let’s see what’s new in Magic Kingdom over the past week and a half!
If there’s one thing we know well it’s Disney World food!
Animal Kingdom
We’ve tried it all — the good, the bad, and the ugly, and know which snacks are worth your time and which you should skip. The next time you’ve got a sweet tooth in Disney World, you’ll be prepared because we’re sharing the BEST desserts in Animal Kingdom!
There’s new merchandise being released in the Disney World parks nearly every week.
So many hats!
We just spotted new Loungefly bags, Moana ears, and 100th Anniversary merchandise in just the past few days! We do our best to keep up with all the latest merchandise news, which is why you’ve GOT to see this strange hat we found!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
