food IS a theme park
We stopped by Magic Kingdom’s Tortuga Tavern yesterday and happened upon a new addition to the menu.
Tortuga Tavern

in Disneyland’s Adventureland is the place to go for healthier-than-the-usual-theme-park-grub when you’re gearing up for your Jungle Cruise, and our Disneyland correspondent Heather (Maeva, @DiningInDisney) has discovered a sweet, share-able treat that’s the perfect fuel for your fun.
Tropical Imports
The Tropical Bar is packed with flavors — from dried fruits, nuts, and coconut — that provide a lot of sweetness and sustainable energy. You’ll find them in a basket at the check-out, so it’s the perfect treat to grab-and-go!
is Disneyland’s newest eatery! Tucked in Adventureland, this outpost serves up global-inspired cuisine (like Bao Buns) and Dole Whip in ways you haven’t seen previously.

The Spring Roll Cart in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland has delivered an unexpected variety of Spring Rolls this year! First, there was the return of the Cheeseburger Spring Rolls. Next, Reuben Springs Rolls hit the scene. And now?

Well, except when they aren’t in the house… as was the case the first time we went to try them. They were all sold out within the noon hour. [Read more…]
The Tropical Hideaway will open in Disneyland later this year! The exotic marketplace will be nestled between two Adventureland attractions: Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room and the Jungle Cruise.
Coming Soon… The Tropical Hideaway
Disney has promised that “In addition to experiencing delicious tastes from all corners of the world, you’ll also encounter colorful wildlife.” And part of that wildlife will be none other than Rosita from the mobile chorus “in the Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room”! [Read more…]
The walls around Magic Kingdom’s Club 33 location are entirely down, revealing in full the exclusive members-only lounge.
Adventureland Club 33

Though we received a pretty good glimpse of the space just a few weeks ago when much of the surrounding construction tarps were removed, even more has been revealed as of our latest visit to the Magic Kingdom… [Read more…]
In the pantheon of character meals at Walt Disney World, there’s only one where you can dine with big, fluffy friends straight out of the Hundred Acre Wood — and in a classic Magic Kingdom location: Crystal Palace!
Truth be told, we’ve had a bit of a roller coaster relationship with Crystal Palace over the years. Some visits have been good (like this lunch four years ago and like breakfast here back when you could get into the nearly-empty park!), and one was particularly awful (dinner at the end of the night = icky buffet remnants…I didn’t even do a post about it).
But the opportunity to dine with Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, Piglet, and Tigger is pretty much a Disney World rite of passage and something that every Disney fan should do at least once. And dining in the Crystal Palace — a gorgeous building that’s been a mainstay since Magic Kingdom opened in 1971 — is a lovely experience.
But what about the food — arguably the most important aspect of any restaurant? It’s standard, but acceptable on most visits, with breakfast having, perhaps, the most interesting options with Pooh’s Breakfast Lasagna and Puffed French Toast being crowd favorites. And so I returned recently, for lunch this time, to see how things are going.
Welcome to Crystal Palace!
“What’s This?”
as our good friend Jack Skellington asks! We asked the same thing at the Egg Roll Cart in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland!

This cart already serves the cult favorite Cheeseburger Spring Roll along with a traditional Vegetable Spring Roll – but now they have upped their game with a Reuben Spring Roll! [Read more…]
