Brunch is ALWAYS a good idea… especially in Disney World.
Raglan Road
With locations like Wine Bar George serving Dole Whip Mimosas and the Rise ‘n Shine Brunch at Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’, we’ve happily hopped on the brunch bandwagon. And now…Raglan Road has added a new mouth-watering option to their brunch menu!
We’re back at Wine Bar George in Disney Springs!
Wine Bar George by Master Sommelier George Miliotes opened its doors last May and has been gaining dedicated fans ever since. Wine Bar George has a reputation for offering an upscale yet welcoming and comfortable experience to all guests from the educated wine lover to the novice just looking to learn about which wines they might enjoy.
But it’s not just wine that’s brought people through the doors. With Chef Ron Rupert at the helm of the kitchen, the food has been remarkable from the get-go, too, serving everything from decadent cheese boards to Crispy Mac and Cheese Bites to Steak Frites and more.
And our visit today, in fact, is to check out an entirely new menu. Because Wine Bar George is now serving BRUNCH!

On Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM, the new Wine Country Brunch is taking place.
Because we’re focusing on the new Brunch, our tour will be brief. (You can take a full photo tour of Wine Bar George here). [Read more…]
The Grand Floridian Cafe in Walt Disney World’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is known for its relatively understated decor (free of Disney characters and over-the-top styling) and its relaxing atmosphere. But there’s one thing here that’s not at all understated: the food!

Last fall, I shared the Lobster Thermidor and the Floridian Pancakes, both of which were fantastic, and just a couple of months ago we let you in on a little chicken-and-waffles hack.
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!

in Disney Springs just started serving the Rise and Shine Brunch in June, and now we have exciting news about this menu!

Purchasing the Disney Dining Plan (or scoring free DDP!) for your Walt Disney World vacation can mean real value for your vacation dining — but some uses of those Disney Dining Plan credits (officially called entitlements) are better than others.
Cinderella Castle Views
This time, it’s all about the one-credit table service Disney Dining Plan! We scour menus to try to find the monetary values, but we also consider food quality and the atmosphere in which guests dine. Because it doesn’t matter how much money you’re saving by using your credits if the restaurant’s environment and food are duds.
Easily one of the most spectacular restaurants in terms of decor and ambiance, Morimoto Asia in Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs also offers tremendous value. But the best part? The food is outstanding!
Orange Chicken
Dinner at Morimoto Asia is a signature affair and requires two DDP credits, but for 2018, lunch remains one credit — and it’s a credit very well spent! Some entrees here cost nearly $40, and there are plenty of options for alcoholic beverages if you’re looking to up your value even further.
Get ready to rise and shine! Because soon it’s going to be time for Sunday BRUNCH at Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’!
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’
Every Sunday, the Rise ’n Shine Brunch will be offered from 10:00 am – 2:00 pm. (The regular full menu will also be available after 11:00 am.)
Menu items for breakfast-meets-lunch will include Fried Chicken and House-made Sugar Doughnuts, Shrimp & Grits, Short Rib Hash, and an open-faced Big Biscuit topped with poached eggs, griddled country ham and house-made hollandaise sauce.
