food IS a theme park
“What are you doing New Year’s… New Year’s Eve?”
If you’re making plans to be at Disney World or Disneyland to ring in 2019, you should know about some of the special dining events, fireworks, and midnight toasts that are planned on both coasts.
Happily Ever After

Hi, there! We’re back with another DFB Video today, and it’s a good old-fashioned Disney World Restaurant THROWDOWN: Polite Pig verses D-Luxe Burger in Disney Springs!
Gideon’s Cookies — Chocolate Chip at The Polite Pig
Are you a fan of burgers and gelato or BBQ and bourbon? We’re comparing and contrasting two great restaurants over in Disney Springs and it’s tough to choose which one wins! D-Luxe Burger is all about those gourmet burgers and artisanal shakes (not to mention the secret menu!) and Polite Pig features that modern BBQ, a bourbon bar and amazing desserts! Which one is right for you? Let’s talk about it in our latest Disney World Restaurant Throwdown!

As we continue to celebrate the past 90 years with Mickey Mouse, we also look forward to all the upcoming adventures the Disney Parks have to offer! And today while we’re LIVE at the D23 Destination D: Celebrating Mickey Mouse event with Disney Parks, Experiences and Consumer Products Chairman Bob Chapek, we have news about more Disney magic on the way to Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort!
Destination D 2018
Let’s start with something HUGE coming to BOTH Walt Disney World and Disneyland, and let’s waste no time!!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
will open in Disneyland in the summer of 2019 and Disney World’s Hollywood Studios in late fall 2019. And we now know the names of possibly the two most highly anticipated attractions in Disney’s history! [Read more…]
The new Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill will open next month in Disney Springs.
Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill will open in December!
And today, we have a look at the menu for the Chef’s newest restaurant venture!
At the time of publishing this post, lunch and dinner menus appear to be the same on the Disney World website, starting with To Share for the Whole Table — which includes Roasted Meatballs — and Appetizers and Salads featuring Tempura Calamari & Shrimp and Grilled Tandoori Chicken Wings.

It’s all things Mickey today as we celebrate his 90th birthday
this weekend. There is so much specialty food to celebrate you can’t help but be happy! We stopped at the Gasparilla Island Grill in the Grand Floridian to try out Mickey’s Birthday Cupcake.
This wins for maybe one of the cutest cupcakes we’ve seen so far. Plus the bow matches the spinning bow on the Glow Wands that you can get in the Magic Kingdom. Anytime our food can match a spinning glow wand we’re all in. ;-D
We’re continuing to celebrate Mickey’s 90th Birthday Party all day!
MICKEY MOUSE!!
Our next stop? The Contemporary Resort’s Contempo Cafe.
Mickey’s Birthday Cake Cupcake
This is where you’ll find Mickey’s Birthday Cake Cupcake! And if “Birthday Cake Cupcake” sounds redundant, it’s actually a thoughtful choice of a name. That’s because this red velvet cupcake is further topped with a MINI BIRTHDAY CAKE! [Read more…]
The fragrance of gingerbread is wafting through the air at Disney’s Beach Club Resort where the annual Beach Club Gingerbread Carousel is now all set up!
2018 Beach Club Gingerbread Carousel

Boardwalk Bakery
This dessert is black and white — just like the short film Steamboat Willie — and so darned cute!
On November 18, 1928, Mickey Mouse appeared in Steamboat Willie.
