food IS a theme park
There are SO many snacks in Disney World — some are so big they are practically a meal!
There are so many snacks to try!
Disney really upped its snack game at Hollywood Studios with the opening of Toy Story Land in 2018 and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in 2019. These new areas brought even more options, with plenty of interesting items to try!
It’s St. Patrick’s Day Weekend, and THE place to celebrate in Disney World is Raglan Road.
St. Patrick’s Day is here!
This Irish pub and restaurant in Disney Springs serves up food and drinks straight from the Emerald Isle year-round, but this time of year is when they really go all-out and celebrate. We were invited to attend a media event at Raglan Road and they truly pulled out ALL of the stops.
We’ve been really feeling the roaring 20s and art deco vibes Disney has been bringing back with their 100th Anniversary items. You can also step into the world of the 20s at The Edison in Disney Springs!
The Edison
The Edison was inspired by the original place of the same name in Los Angeles. It’s an “Industrial Gothic”-style restaurant, bar, and nighttime destination themed to a 1920s-period power plant, and we just received word that they’re expanding their menu!
When we’re hankering for something sweet, we often turn to Gideon’s Bakehouse.
Gideon’s Bakehouse cookie!
You’ll often see long lines stretching out the front door of this Disney Springs spot, and for good reason! They are well-known for their mega-cookies but also serve up slices of cake and unique flavors of cold brew. For a limited time, they’re offering a FREE topping to make your desserts extra sweet!
Gideon’s Bakehouse in Disney Springs is where we go for tasty treats, from giant slices of cake to massive cookies and even delicious and indulgent takes on the classic cold brew!
Gideon’s Bakehouse
That coffee-based drink is what we are after today. Gideon’s has a new flavor for March, and we’re giving you the lowdown!
The EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival is underway, and we’ve already visited ALL the food booths, but there’s STILL so much more to see, do, and even eat!
2023 La Isla Fresca Booth
We’ve admired the topiaries, bought some merchandise, and checked out some entertainment, but more importantly, we’ve visited ALL the food booths. But the La Isla Fresca booth actually has TWO menus — one for lunch and dinner, and one for breakfast. We’ve already tried out the regular menu, but now we’re back for breakfast!
Disney World is still not entirely back to its pre-pandemic self, but little by little the place we know and love is returning to its former glory.
Mickey at Chef Mickey’s
Chef Mickey’s at Disney’s Contemporary Resort was a popular dining spot for families because of their buffet service and fun character dining. When the parks re-opened in 2020, both of those aspects were removed. Both the characters and buffet have RETURNED, but a major price increase has now hit the restaurant.
Ever since Disney World reopened in 2020, we’ve been waiting for some offerings in the parks to return to normal.
Cinderella Castle
We’ve seen restaurants slowly reopen and character meals come back, but it has taken quite some time for one restaurant to return to its old operations. The full character meal is FINALLY back at Cinderella’s Royal Table in Magic Kingdom, but you’ll be paying a bit more to experience it.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is home to a variety of themed restaurants. You can experience old Hollywood charm at the Hollywood Brown Derby or get a scolding from your server for not finishing your vegetables at 50’s Prime Time Cafe!
This place is a big hit!
One of the most popular dining locations in Hollywood Studios is the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater because of its classic car tables (called automo-booths) that make it feel like you’re at a real drive-in! While there are picnic table seats as well, most guests are coming to this spot to enjoy their meals in one of the unique automo-booths.
The All-Star Movies Resort isn’t particularly known for their food.
A full spread
Most guests are staying there for its lower pricing and fun theming for the whole family. But while there are plenty of great dining options in the parks, there are times when it’s easier to eat at your resort.
