food IS a theme park
It’s officially June, which means that the Pride Month celebrations have officially started over at Disney World!
Happy Pride Month
Throughout the month of June, you’ll be able to snag a variety of celebratory rainbow treats throughout the parks and hotels. Well, we tried two of them, and we’re here to let you in on our hot takes.
Dear Disney…we have something to say.
It’s not every day that we feel the need to write to you, but you’ve done something that has us pretty sad, and we can’t NOT bring it to your attention. Now, this isn’t the first time this type of thing has happened (we will forever remember the Wendell’s Bear Claw that is no more). We’ve seen some great menu items get taken away before. We get it; you have to change up your menus occasionally to keep things fresh, but there’s one food item that we thought was non-negotiable, and yet, here we are, having this conversation (which we did NOT want to have).
Can you believe it’s time to experience Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom?!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
The Princess and the Frog-themed water ride is set to open to everyone on June 28th, 2024 after sets of previews for exclusive groups of Disney fans. Since construction started in early 2023, we’ve been anxiously waiting for the day we got to experience the attraction…and that day is here! We previously got a sneak peek at the animatronics, new characters, queue details, and more, but just as we were getting in line for previews so we could bring you the first-hand experience of this new ride, something unfortunate happened!
Sometimes, when you’re on vacation, one of the things you look forward to the most in the mornings is a free continental breakfast at your hotel.
We love breakfast buffets!
But, if you’re like some of us, there’s a part of your brain that won’t stop thinking about who’s been touching all the utensils, and what temperature is everything being kept at? The truth is that any food could give you food poisoning if it’s been handled incorrectly, but if you’re doing all you can to avoid it on your vacation, here are the foods that experts say you should avoid at breakfast buffets.
An iconic Disney movie is turning 30 this year, and Disney World is ready to celebrate!
Animal Kingdom’s Tree of Life
The Lion King is one of the most iconic Disney movies, and this June marks 30 years since it first appeared on the big screen. This is a BIG birthday, so Disney is celebrating with a few fun, new treats over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. You won’t want to miss these!
June promises to be sweet at Gideon’s Bakehouse.
Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs
Gideon’s Bakehouse took to Instagram to reveal their June menu this past weekend. The company announced a returning favorite cookie, plus cake and cold brew flavors to wow your flavor palette. In addition, they shared information on this month’s charitable partner, as well as some Pride merchandise.
While menu changes happen practically every day at Disney World, and we are always keeping you updated with our weekly menu updates, some changes deserve a post of their own. And today, we have some exciting Mickey Waffle news!
Sunset Boulevard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios
A food stand at Disney’s Hollywood Studios just got a HUGE update and we needed to let you know about it!
We talk all the time about the benefits of getting free water cups in Disney World so you’re not paying for a water bottle every time you need a drink (which is A LOT, especially during summertime).
Water in the parks
Bringing a reusable water bottle is fantastic just for this occasion, but did you know that there’s also an egregious amount you can pay for water in ONE spot in the parks? And no, it’s not the cost of buying a ton of water bottles throughout your trip (although that gets expensive too) — water at this one Disney World restaurant costs $120!
UPDATE: Please be aware that, as of mid-June 2024, Victoria & Albert’s is not currently serving the Svalbardi Polar Iceberg water. However, interested guests may inquire about availability when contacting Victoria & Albert’s for their reservation.Â
We just had the BEST DAY EVER in Magic Kingdom.

But we don’t wanna just TELL you about it… we wanna take you along with us!

We’re BIG fans of all things Disney snacks, which is why we’re called Disney FOOD Blog!
Mango Dole Whip Float
However, not all snacks are built the same. We certainly have our fair share of snacks that we’re NOT fans of, the snacks that we love that other people don’t (and vice versa), but there are a few snacks out there that are practically perfect according to just about everybody.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
