food IS a theme park
We are headed to a galaxy far, far away to feast on some new menu items!
Oga’s Cantina
Oga’s Cantina in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney World recently got some new menu items, and of course, we stopped by to give them a try.
It has been a long time coming, but The Cake Bake Shop has officially soft opened on Disney World’s BoardWalk!
The Cake Bake Shop
We have been going to this new spot to try so many different treats! We had breakfast and dinner, and of course, we had to try the controversial $23 slices of cake. While there has been backlash from Disney fans about the menu pricing, we have to say that The Cake Bake Shop serves up delicious meals and baked goods. It may not be an everyday restaurant, but it is a great place to celebrate a special occasion. And speaking of celebrating, on top of being a bakery and restaurant, you can also grab a drink at The Cake Bake Shop’s champagne bar!
We love stopping to grab a bite to eat at the hotels around Disney World!
DIsney’s Riveria Resort
With almost 30 hotels on Disney World property, there are so many, bars, lounges, table-service, and quick-service restaurants to choose from. Grabbing something to eat at another hotel is a great way to explore all that Disney World has to offer! Recently, we saw a new addition to one of our favorite hotel quick-service restaurants, Primo Piatto, located at Disney’s Riveria Resort.
We know that atmosphere, service, and overall experience are a huge aspect of enjoying your meal. And while this bar may be one of the most stressful in Disney World, we still think it is worth checking out.
Galaxy’s Edge
We are headed to a galaxy far, far away for this bar. It is a very popular spot, and today we are sharing some tips to take some of the stress away from visiting Oga’s Cantina.
When you are in the mood for some New Orleans vibes, there is no better place to go than Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter. There are lots of fun decorations, and of course BEIGNETS!
Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter
However, before we all get too excited, we aren’t headed to get beignets. In fact, where we are going, they don’t even serve beignets. GASP!
If there’s one thing we love here at DFB, it’s a Disney World LOUNGE!
Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter
Lounges are like the hidden secret of Disney World dining — all the delicious eats of a sit-down restaurant with the laid-back atmosphere of a bar or quick service spot. They often have some of the best menu items across property, and you don’t need reservations to dine in them! Recently, one lounge changed up its menu, so you know I had to stop by to check out the new eats and bring you a full review.
Raise a glass! The Disney Dining Plan is finally BACK. We’ve been counting down the days for MONTHS, researching the pros and cons, and answering your biggest questions. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. First, you need some context.
Full Spread at Yak and Yeti
The Disney Dining Plan is an optional vacation add-on that essentially allows Disney World hotel guests to pre-pay for their meals in exchange for Dining Plan credits. Then, once you’re in Disney World, all you have to do is enjoy your meal and apply those Dining Plan credits to your meal (as long as the restaurant accepts the Disney Dining Plan, that is). This option was unavailable for several years, but as of January 9th, 2024, it’s finally BACK, with a few changes.
When planning your restaurant stops for your Disney World vacation, you might want to add this one to the list.
The Gran Destino Tower at Coronado Springs
Some of the best food you’ll find in Disney World will be found outside of the theme parks. You might have heard of restaurants at Disney Springs or Disney Resorts like Homecomin’, ‘Ohana, or Steakhouse 71. But, there’s a little bar and grill we bet you haven’t heard of, and we’re telling you if it’s worth the effort to get here.
We’ve seen our fair share of bars and lounges in Disney World — some better than the rest.
Disney Springs
If it’s tiki drinks you’re after, you’ll want to head to Trader Sam’s. Looking for upscale cocktails? The Enchanted Rose might be for you. Immersive, space-themed drinks that are out of this world? Stop by Oga’s Cantina. But, if you’re looking for drinks with a view — there’s only one place in Disney World you’ll want to visit.
They say if you love something, let it go, and if it comes back — it’s yours. But, Disney World fans know that’s not always the case.
Hollywood Studios
Limited-time experiences, treats, and entertainment can be found on most days, but if you’re not quick you might miss them! Over in Hollywood Studios, a pop-up bar has been quenching folks’ thirst for a few months now, but it will all be over soon.
