food IS a theme park
I don’t know about you, but we love some Disney World restaurants ’round these parts!
Disney World buffet
There are so many to choose from between all the quick service and table service restaurants, but there’s one specific kind we’ve just got to talk about — Disney World buffets.

Welcome to the Walt Disney World restaurants! You won’t find anything “typical” around here. Not only do these restaurants boast unique themeing, many are known for creative menus, special diet options, and friendly servers.

Expect the same kind of theming and fantasy you’ll find in the rest of the theme parks and resorts, along with some incredible (and some not so incredible – we’re just being honest) food. Ranging from pizza and burgers to five-star cuisine, Disney restaurants can fit any palate.

We’ve seen a TON of things return to Disney World over the past several months.
Tusker House
Traditional character meet-and-greets and traditional character dining has returned to many spots, and a lot of restaurants have reopened (with even more on the way!). One restaurant that returned in 2021 was Tusker House in Animal Kingdom. But it came back as a family-style meal, instead of its traditional buffet. And that’s how things stayed…until now!
Can you believe it’s NOVEMBER?! Where has the year gone?! It feels like we were just gearing up for summer, but now, holiday decorations are lining the streets of Disney World.

There is SO much going on at Disney World during this time of the year, and we’re here to help you keep it all organized. So, let’s break down the BEST things to do in Disney World in November for those of you that have a trip coming up soon!

One Magic Kingdom restaurant just got BETTER.
Crystal Palace
The Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom reopened in 2020 as a family-style meal, and the buffet returned in late 2021. However, this whole time there’s been one very important element that’s MISSING from this table service restaurant: the characters! Winnie the Pooh and his friends used to be a staple at the Palace, but they’ve been MIA for the past couple of years. [Read more…]
It’s back — it’s really back!
Hollywood & Vine
