food IS a theme park
We talk a LOT about food in Disney World.
The spread!
We talk about the best snacks, the best eats at the EPCOT festivals, and even some of our favorite entrees to order at table service spots. But you know what gets overlooked? Some of Disney World’s AMAZING appetizers. So today, we’re rounding up 7 of the top appetizers in Disney World to determine which one is the best.
Let’s just say we know food in Disney World, it’s why we’re here — to tell you about ALL the food in Disney World.
We love some appetizers
We also have certain foods that we will ALWAYS return to (just call it our comfort food), which includes savory dishes like Corn Dog Nuggets (we refuse to use Disney’s new “mini corn dogs” name because it’s BORING). We also love our snacks, including the many seasonal snacks Disney releases throughout the year (and some, like the Gingerbread Salted Caramel Cookie Sandwich should be available year-round…ahem.). But now we’re going to talk about appetizers. Now we LOVE a good appetizer, but we’re going to share the BEST appetizers, according to the DFB team.
We are always down for a trip to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge.
Let’s grab some food at Animal Kingdom Lodge!
Not only do you get spectacular views of the savanna, but it is also home to some of our favorite restaurants!
If you’re thinking about dining at California Grill at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, you’ll want to keep reading.
California Grill
So the best thing about dining at California Grill is that you get a great view of Magic Kingdom. If you time your dinner just right, you can even watch the Happily Ever After fireworks (the music is piped into the restaurant) — dinner AND a show! But you may be a little hesitant to book that dining reservation for one reason: the menu is prix fixe (which means you pay one price and choose one item for each course from a limited menu) and none of the entrees appeal to you. But we’ve got a hack that changes everything.
Bacon hanging from a wire, a S’mores Old Fashioned, 5 different kinds of popcorn, and…bone marrow?
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Over at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, the Territory Lounge just got a BIG menu overhaul. Disney announced several new snacks and drinks that arrived here recently, and you know we had to try them out ASAP. Come with us to see which of the new items are worth a trip during your next Disney World vacation! [Read more…]
When it comes to Disney World restaurants, it’s ALL about the theming. OK, THAT…and good food and drinks help too. 😉 One location with a stellar backstory and some pretty neat theming we RARELY visit though? Enzo’s Hideaway Tunnel Bar in Disney Springs.
Enzo’s Hideaway Tunnel Bar
We have a confession to make: we haven’t been back here for another review since it opened back in early 2018. Our first experience was…underwhelming, to put it mildly. But, every place deserves a second chance. Especially when you have a killer backstory and fun theming, right? So we’re heading back to the tunnels for a second round.
Bonjour, mes amis! We are headed to the City of Lights, and taking you along with us. We’ve been anxiously awaiting the reopening of Chefs de France and OUR TIME HAS FINALLY COME!
Chefs de France reopening entrance
Chefs de France is located in the France Pavilion at EPCOT and has consistently served up pretty great food. You know we were one of the FIRST people in the door when this spot reopened on October 8th. Let’s see if the food is just as good since reopening!
Who’s thirsty for some Lapu Lapus, Backscratchers, and Puka Punch?
Lapu Lapu at Disney’s Polynesian Resort
It’s OFFICIAL! Tambu Lounge is set to reopen this Sunday! According to Disney World’s website, the bar which sits adjacent to ‘Ohana on the upper level of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort’s lobby will be open from 4PM to 11PM daily beginning August 16th!
House of Blues was rockin’ and rollin’ again in Disney Springs!
House of Blues in Disney Springs
House of Blues officially reopened June 3rd, so we trekked over to the West Side of Disney Springs to grab a bite!
Ever since Walt Disney World’s shopping district, Disney Springs, reopened on May 20th, more and more restaurants and retailers have been coming back.
Disney Springs
And today TONS of spots reopened, including DisneyStyle, City Works Eatery & Pour House, and The Ganachery. But that’s not all!
