food IS a theme park
What do Tony the Tiger, a wildlife refuge outside of New Orleans, and John Wayne have in common?
Cinderella Castle
They’ve all got ties to Disney World’s Magic Kingdom and I’m gonna tell you how right now.

Disney World
Whether you’re staying onsite, just offsite, near Disney Springs, or somewhere else entirely, there’s plenty of options for your trip to Disney. And now there’s a brand-new one, too!
Ever since WandaVision premiered on Disney+, we have plans with our TV on Friday nights.
’70s ‘WandaVision’ Petite Cake
We’ve traveled with Wanda and Vision from the 50s through the 80s now and somehow it feels like we’re just getting started! While we’re starting to get some answers on what’s going on in “the anomaly,” there’s still so much mystery that has kept us glued to the screen trying to decode whether Vision looked at a camera or not.
There’s always so much to do at Disney Springs.
Disney Springs
You can grab a drink, do some shopping, and try some tasty cookies. There are so many options that sometimes, it’s hard to decide! So we asked YOU, our DFB readers, where we can find the best spots in Disney Springs. Here’s what you said!
If you’ve been to Disney World, chances are you’ve had Joffrey’s Coffee.
Joffrey’s Coffee
We’re pretty frequent visitors ourselves! And we sure love trying their seasonal drinks like the Fairytale Love Latte — and remember their painting coffee activity at EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts? We’ll if you’re far from Disney and craving this iconic park brew, good news! We’ve got a recipe just for you.
Splitsville Luxury Lanes in Disney Springs isn’t your typical stinky shoe bowling alley with sticky floors and day-old hot dogs…
Mickey and Minnie Bowling Balls at Splitsville
…it’s a fancy retro bowling alley with leveled-up menu and a total party vibe. (Oh, and it doesn’t stink either!) Ok, so it doesn’t offer exotic flavors like its neighbor Jaleo. It doesn’t have romantic sweeping views of Disney Springs like Paddlefish either. Instead, it offers a HUGE menu with BIG portions that match the incredibly fun atmosphere. Also, they have sushi. Normally, we wouldn’t dare to try sushi from a bowling alley. Splitsville is very different though! With so much great food in Disney Springs, we often overlook this retro-but-make-it-new bowling joint. In fact, we haven’t had a full meal here in a few years. Take a look at how the restaurant and entertainment venue holds up against other Disney Springs restaurants!
La Cava del Tequila is a hidden gem in EPCOT’s Mexico Pavilion.
La Cava del Tequila
They serve up delicious margaritas, and constantly have a line to get in. We’ve tried several limited edition drinks from La Cava like the anniversary mezcal, but there’s a brand new tequila that is making history!
Here at DFB, it’s no secret we love bread.
La Brea Bakery and Cafe
That’s why we always find ourselves heading towards bakeries like Les Halles in EPCOT to grab a carb-ilicious snack! For people visiting Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort, you can get your bread fix soon, because Le Brea Bakery has a reopening date!
Disney’s pool refurbishments are still going strong.
Disney’s Beach Club
We’ve seen pools at Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge on the to-do list. Surely Disney will run out of pools to refurbish eventually, right? Well, not yet!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
