food IS a theme park
We’ve had a LOT of tasty snacks, y’all, so now it’s time for DESSERT.
2023 Booth
We’re visiting every single food booth at the 2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. We stopped by The Fry Basket, the Brazil booth, and The Alps (plus TONS of other booths), and now it’s time for the Belgium booth! Are the Belgian waffles worth the trip? Or will the smoked gouda mashed potatoes steal the spotlight? Let’s find out.
at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa has become one of our favorite spots to dine for breakfast and brunch (click here to see why!). And one of our favorite entrees is a hack that marries two classic dishes: fried chicken and waffles (Mickey-style, if you so desire).
Grand Floridian Cafe Chicken and Waffles Hack
We’ve been hacking this dish for a while now (with thanks to Michael over at @DisneyNumNums for the idea), and the combination of buttermilk fried chicken (made with Corn Flake crumbs!) and a toasty Belgian or Mickey waffle is awesome. [Read more…]
If you’re planning a full day of shopping in Disney Springs, then you’ll need some sustenance. And that begins with the most important meal of the day: breakfast!
Vivoli il Gelato
Of course, you’ll be on vacation, so that’s the perfect excuse to indulge in a mid-to-late morning breakfast with a twist… which is where the Waffles at Vivoli il Gelato come in! [Read more…]
We love a good Disney food hack — especially when it combines a duo of our favorite things. And today we’ve got a combo brought to us by Disney Food Blog reader Michael over at @DisneyNumNums! Join us at the Grand Floridian Cafe — and bring your stretchy pants!

Why? Because Michael tells us that if you start with the Grand Floridian Cafe’s Buttermilk Fried Chicken…

…you can end up with some killer Chicken and Waffles — with a Mickey Waffle, no less!
Chicken and Waffles
What, what?! In order to make this happen, all you have to do is request a waffle instead of the Crispy Potatoes, Kale, and Bacon that the chicken usually comes with!
You’ll get a choice between a Belgian Waffle and the Mickey Waffle — and you get to keep that Sriracha-Honey Drizzle (and get more on the side, if you want!)!
Chicken and Waffles!
The server also brought hot maple syrup, butter, and ketchup — just in case you want to change things up a little! How fun is this?! Many thanks to Michael for sharing with us!

It’s time to step aboard the Disney Fantasy Cruise Ship! Today, guest author Rachel Gardner brings us a wonderful review from the princess-themed Royal Court — one of the rotational dining restaurants on this gorgeous Disney Cruise Line ship.
The Royal Court Restaurant on Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Fantasy, is a princess haven!
The restaurant has the princess concept refined to its most basic elegance.
Belgian waffles have been a staple of the Epcot Food and Wine Festival for the past two years, and I thought it would be fun to feature the Disney Belgian Waffle recipe as we countdown to the 2012 Epcot Food and Wine Festival!

Here we go with another fun Countdown to Food and Wine post! The Epcot Food and Wine Festival will begin in just a couple of days, and I’ve decided to share my excitement by counting down to the Festival with a look at the International Marketplace booths that will be located around the World Showcase Lagoon!
For those who haven’t had the chance to go to the Festival, one of my favorite parts are the dozens of International Marketplaces — little booths, or kiosks, set up that represent a specific country or region. Each booth offers a short menu of tasting plates and drinks from the country or region represented. These tasting items cost anywhere from $2-$7, so they’re a great way to enjoy the Festival without breaking the bank.
Today, I’m going to highlight the representative menus from Belgium, Germany, and Greece!

This year, Belgium is a brand new addition to the World Showcase Promenade! Exciting options on the menu will include a Belgian waffle, of course, and mussels! Here’s the full menu for Belgium:
I can’t wait to try that delicious waffle!
