food IS a theme park
The times — and the sights! — are changing in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom! We’re taking you to three locations around Magic Kingdom today to show you how some areas have changed over a matter of days. Let’s start in Adventureland…

…where the walls and tarps that were previously surrounding the park’s Club 33 location have been removed! [Read more…]
AAAAARRR
ya ready to go back to Tortuga Tavern?
This seasonally open spot in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland serves grub to hungry pirates. But because it is open sporadically, you never know exactly what you’ll find on the menu.
For a long time, Tortuga Tavern served up Mexican fare, then switched to a BBQ-based menu. These days, it’s relying primarily on park classics to serve the crowds. You’ll find Hot Dogs and Turkey Legs among the fare.
But I was still in for a couple of small surprises on my last visit. And the rule is, if you find Tortuga Tavern open during your visit, you should at least take a quick glance at the menu… and a quick look around, too!
The main reason it’s fun to stop by Tortuga Tavern is because of its all-things-pirate-y theme in keeping with its location directly across from the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction.

In keeping with the general feel of its home in Adventureland, much of the upcoming new eatery, The Tropical Hideaway, has remained an intriguing mystery.

So far, we have simply known that this new area in Adventureland — which will be tucked between Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room and the Jungle Cruise attractions — would be “Coming Soon,” according to writing on the construction walls surrounding the spot.
Coming Soon… The Tropical Hideaway
However, Disney has just confirmed that The Tropical Hideaway will be opening later this year! And this marketplace will feature globally-inspired food and drinks! [Read more…]
What’s this I spy with my little eye? Why, it’s Loungefly! Loungefly items have been taking Disney Parks by storm. And look who is featured on the latest…
Orange Bird Loungefly Mini Backpack
Why, it’s the Little Orange Bird from Adventureland’s Sunshine Tree Terrace! You can find him in the Mini Backpack as seen above, along with a Little Orange Bird wallet.

One of the greatest attributes of Walt Disney World is its location
because even when the rest of the country is ensconced in winter, central Florida is typically still warm (and in the summer it’s downright tropical!). And you know what that means: lots of frozen treats to eat and drink!
Cinderella’s Castle with Stage
We’ve had ’em all — and there are some old favorites and some NEW options we’re pretty sure you’re going to want to get your hot little hands on!
First up, as you make your way down Main Street, U.S.A., pop into Casey’s Corner. It’s there you can find the Mint Julep Lemonade Slushy! This family-friendly drink is a terrific mixture of sweet and sour — with that refreshing slushy texture and temperature!
Just when you think things couldn’t get any brighter at Sunshine Tree Terrace in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland…
Sunshine Tree Terrace
… a fun little surprise comes along! Sunshine Tree Terrace is home to several orange things including the orange juice-meets-vanilla soft serve Citrus Swirl (the original) and the recently added Orange Cream. You can get either of these treats in an Orange Soda Float. And, of course, it’s home to the Little Orange Bird himself! [Read more…]
Take note, Jungle Cruisers! If you’re dining at the Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen anytime soon (a/k/a the Jungle Skipper Canteen) in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland, you’ll want to know about an off-the-menu item!

Be sure to ask your friendly Skipper (that is, your server!) about what they are referring to as a current special… [Read more…]
Golden Oak Outpost is a counter service spot conveniently located between Frontierland and Adventureland in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. Featuring fried eats and outdoor seating, it’s the place to grab some Chicken Nuggets, Waffle Fries with Queso, or Chocolate Chip Cookies.

We enjoyed some Barbecue Chicarrons back in February, along with some Chili Cheese Waffle Fries, but these items were recently replaced with two new fried options: Jalapeno Poppers and Cauliflower!
Did you hear that? There are practically shouts of joy rising from Adventureland in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom… because the Cheeseburger Spring Rolls are BACK!!!
Adventureland in Magic Kingdom
These beloved rolls arrived as an under-the-radar test item at the Adventureland Egg Roll Cart a few years ago and gained a bit of a cult following. But one day — POOF! — they disappeared, much to our chagrin. But — for now, anyway! — they’re back! [Read more…]
The Tropical Hideaway is coming soon to Adventureland in Disneyland Park!
Coming Soon… The Tropical Hideaway
What’s The Tropical Hideaway, you may ask? The former Aladdin’s Oasis is being transformed into a new dining experience where guests will be able to “rub elbows” with skippers in the midst of a traders’ market which will feature the “flavors of the tropics”! The lone piece of concept art revealed in February gives us an idea of the upcoming spot displaying tables, canopies, and thatched roofs along the shores of the river.
