food IS a theme park
Who’s ready to travel for the summer?!
Orlando International Airport
This time of year is generally pretty popular for people who want to get away and enjoy some much-needed rest. We see heavier crowds in the summer at the theme parks and airports, and even the highways get busier with people embarking on road trips. But if you want to save some dough on your summer vacay (or your next vacay after that!), we’ve got a deal for you!
Pixar Fest is happening at Disneyland Resort, and we’ve enjoyed checking out all the new snacks, entertainment, and more during the big event.
Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure
And it appears we’re not the only ones excited about the festival — the stars of Disney+’sPercy Jackson series recently visited Disney California Adventure! Let’s see what they got to experience.
Are you a Disney World pro?
10 Commandments of Disney Dining
Do you know all the secret paths and ways to beat the lines? Maybe you’ve got a top-secret perfect spot for catching the fireworks. Now that’s all well and good, but let’s talk about the most challenging aspect of Disney World — the food, specifically the “dining laws”! Yup, there are unwritten commandments for dining at the Most Magical Place on Earth, and we’re guessing you might have broken a couple (we sure have). Let’s dive right in!
As the Disney Food Blog, it should come as no surprise that we take great interest in the dining options in and around Disney World. So when a Disney World restaurant is recognized by a major food magazine, you know we’ll be covering it!
Waldorf Astoria Orlando
Some of the best dining options at Disney World aren’t found at the parks, but instead at the hotels. Such is the case with the Waldorf Astoria Orlando. The first Waldorf Astoria to open outside of New York, this Disney World resort is home to a steakhouse that was just recognized as one of Florida’s BEST.
There’s a lot to plan before a Disney vacation, and one of the biggest questions you may have is about what to carry into the parks!
Cinderella Castle
We go to Disney World every day here at Disney Food Blog, and our team is pretty evenly split between carrying backpacks and carrying belt bags/hip packs into the parks. And guess what? We have TWO brand-new bags to show you today — one of each variety. So your perfect bag is right here, no matter which you prefer! Let’s take a look!
Some Disney souvenirs are only useful at certain times. If you get a Disney-themed Halloween costume, you really can only use that during spooky season (unless you have a Disney costume party at another time of the year, which we think should totally happen). If you get a Christmas tree ornament, that’s pretty much just coming out for the holidays. Those Disney flip-flops are probably limited to the summer season. But there’s one souvenir that’s 100% useful ALL YEAR ROUND!

You can grab this handy item on Amazon, which makes it all the more convenient.
Is there anything better than…FRIED DOUGH?
Funnel Cake
Funnel cake, churros, beignets…you can find them all in Disney World, and they are 🎵a few of my favorite things🎵. But today, I come to you with some sad news, because one of my favorite forms of fried dough is GONE. GONE, I tell you.
I’m here to tell you about my FAVORITE character meal, and my favorite character meal HACK in Magic Kingdom!
Let’s go!
Yep, I’m talking about Crystal Palace! This Magic Kingdom restaurant is home to a delightful character buffet during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But if you can’t decide between breakfast or lunch? You don’t have to! I recently made a trip to Crystal Palace where I got to experience TWO meals. And today, I’m bringing my full review of the experience and telling you how I did it!
A character from a hit Disney and Pixar film franchise has made his way to the Disney Parks!
Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind
Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out 2 has been a MASSIVE hit at the box office since its release on June 14th, so it only makes sense that fans of the film will want to see these characters at the Disney Parks. While one emotion has recently appeared at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, another just made his meet-and-greet debut at the Disneyland Resort!
I travel A LOT, and I’m always looking for ways to save a bit of money — so that I can fund more travel!
Southwest plane
I use Costco Travel to rent cars at the cheapest rates, I house sit and pet sit in exchange for lodging sometimes, and of course, I shop for bargains on items I might need in my travels. Now since I work here at DFB, I obviously spend a whole lot of time in Florida — and that means I use a whole lot of sunscreen! I recommend getting your sunscreen at discount retailers like TJ Maxx and Marshall’s — which is where I usually find my favorite brand, Coola.
