food IS a theme park
We’re back with another construction update from Walt Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
Things have been BUSY around the Disney Parks and Resorts, to say the least! Between new paint jobs, more testing for new shows, and reopening stores, there has been a lot to keep track of! And, you may not believe the kinds of projects that Disney is willing to throw up some construction walls for. So, we’ve got a lot to cover — let’s get to it!
Hello, DFB friends!
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
We’ve been back at the resorts at Disney World checking out all the food, merchandise, and more to keep you updated on what’s been going on since we last reported in. So let’s get on with those updates!
We don’t need any shamrocks or lucky charms where we’re going!
Belle Vue Lounge at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
That’s because we already count ourselves amongst the fortunate who are on the inside of one of Disney World’s best-kept secrets spots — the Belle Vue Lounge at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn!
While Disney’s BoardWalk Inn has been decking its halls with bows of holly…

…its Belle Vue Lounge has been serving up some mean holiday cocktails! Head over there with us now to sip on these seasonal specialties!
You may have already learned how you can Paint Your Own Wine Glasses at AbracadaBar on Disney World’s BoardWalk. And if that sparked your artistic interest, you may want to know about even more Paint/Make Your Own opportunities happening on Disney World’s BoardWalk!

Two more opportunities are available in addition to Wine Glass Painting for Experiences on the Boards, and they also happen to take place at BoardWalk dining locations. [Read more…]
is one of those Disney spots.
Yep — it’s a hideaway…that only the cool kids know about.
True, I love Disney Bars and Lounges. A lot. They’re some of my favorite spots on property, and they’re awesome for some many reasons. Whether you’re looking for a place to relax after a long day, meeting friends, or even grabbing a bite to eat without an Advance Dining Reservation.
Well, Belle Vue is a bit different than some of my other favorites, like Territory Lounge or Tambu Lounge. Belle Vue doesn’t serve food, except at breakfast, when they offer light continental options, coffee, and a few other beverages.
So you won’t find signature Pub Grub like Fondue or Pulled Pork Nachos here. But you will find loads of relaxing, beautiful atmosphere.

And if you happen to encounter a helpful bartender (and the long-time bartender here is always helpful), you may be able to enjoy a Belle Vue classic.
You’ll mostly find the Standard Disney Bar Menu here. It’s a little sad…because this place could be even more awesome with an inspired drink menu. But there is one bright spot. And oddly, it’s called The Shadow. 🙂
This drink is Belle Vue’s claim to fame, even though it’s not officially on the menu anymore.
A mixture of Chambord, Godiva Chocolate Liqueur, Vanilla Vodka, and Heavy Cream, it’s as much dessert as it is a cocktail.

It’s not really my kind of drink. I don’t usually go in for [Read more…]
We’ve mentioned this news previously on our Disney Food News Pin Board, but we’ve just gotten a bit more detail!
If Boardwalk Bakery at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn is one of your favorite stops for breakfast, lunch, or sweet treats, you’ll want to plan accordingly for the spot’s upcoming renovation. The Bakery will be closed beginning Sunday, January 6, through Friday, April 26, for renovations.

What’s being added? Lots!!
Fans of the old-fashioned bakery can expect a new entrance, queue area, and refillable mug station when the space reopens in the spring. More menu items will also be added, like soups and even more sandwiches.
Will the Peanut Butter Cake Make the Move to the Temporary Location? We Hope So!
But don’t panic! Due to the spot’s overwhelming popularity, there will be a temporary location set up during the closure. You’ll find the tent located [Read more…]
