food IS a theme park
Can you believe it’s almost 2020?!
Spaceship Earth
We know there are a few Disney World restaurants that ALWAYS seem to be difficult to grab a reservation at (we see you, Be Our Guest!), but what NEW dining spots coming in 2020 should you be ready to pounce on? We’re giving you our look at what we think will be the toughest spots to get that Advance Dining Reservation you’re looking for so you can plan ahead!
Phew! You probably noticed but the holidays are HERE in Magic Kingdom!
Main Street Christmas Tree
We’ve been positively slammed this weekend covering all of the new holiday treats, decorations, and entertainment in Magic Kingdom. With Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party starting up on November 8th, there’s been SO MUCH to see! Well, with the season officially in full swing in the park, we’re able to bring you a handful of other updates! Here’s everything new in food, construction, and merchandise in Magic Kingdom today.

Then, you might want to keep your fingers hovering over that keyboard because the Disney Reservation Center has officially announced My Disney Experience and the Walt Disney World website as their preferred method of booking and modifying table-service dining reservations.
Welcome to another roundup of What’s New in Magic Kingdom!

We have a lot to share with you this week, so let’s jump right in…
Do you have plans to dine in the Beast’s Castle at Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom?
Entrance into Beast’s Castle
If so, you’ll want to keep an eye out for some new additions coming to the menus for breakfast and lunch. [Read more…]
The first quarter of 2019 is complete, and it’s time to get down to business. Of course, we mean cupcakes and the business of our 2019 Cupcake Crawl! But let’s address the buttercream in the room: with only three months under our (cupcake-filled) belts, we’re going to need to come back in a few months with a some new additions — so be on the lookout for the summer’s updated crawl! 😉
Come along as we list cupcakes you’ve got to try (so far!!) in 2019!
Firework Cupcake at Contempo Cafe
Our first entry in the Cupcake Crawl is a little loaded, and that’s because it’s an old favorite with a slightly new look (and taste!). The Peanut Butter Crunch Cupcake (a/k/a the Butterfinger Cupcake) has been a DFB favorite for years. The chocolate cake filled with dense chocolate ganache and topped with peanut butter frosting and crushed Butterfinger really worked for our PB&C obsession. But in January of this year… the Peanut Butter Crunch Cupcake disappeared from Trolley Car Cafe! (Read more about that here!) And when it returned recently, the cupcake had a whole new look.

Gone is the massive mountain of frosting covered in plentiful Butterfinger bits, replaced by a moderately sized pile of frosting covered in Butterfinger bits. Gone (maybe?) is the dense chocolate filling — now it’s more of a chocolate sauce filling. [Read more…]
Bonjour from the Beast’s castle in New Fantasyland! Upon a recent visit to Magic Kingdom, a most magical surprise popped up on My Disney Experience — a last minute reservation to Be Our Guest Restaurant!! Dreams come true, indeed. Let this serve as a reminder to not only book your dining reservations as early as possible, but to also keep checking because you never know what can happen 🙂
Be Our Guest Restaurant
Be Our Guest Restaurant is a part of New Fantasyland, and is one of the hardest reservations to book in all of Walt Disney World! No matter how many times you’ve been — and especially on your first visit — it’s always so magical to walk into the Beast’s castle.
It was another busy week in the Magic Kingdom! We found must-have merch, price increases, snack updates, construction and more!
Hello from the Magic Kingdom!
We’ll start off with some construction updates. We are getting so excited for the Tron ride! In addition to this “billboard” promoting the ride that you see while you’re on the train we could spot cranes and equipment — signs they are working away to have the ride ready for 2021.
We have been on the lookout for new, higher prices at many restaurants and snack stands around the parks since we first spotted the increases earlier this month. Our latest visit to the Magic Kingdom had us collecting a few new prices for you.
Christmas Themed Gift Cards
That’s right, add a few more dollars to your wallet or on your gift cards (we found Christmas themed ones are now available!) to eat at the following Magic Kingdom locations.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
