food IS a theme park
Hello, everyone! Welcome to Disney’s Monorail Resorts!
Monorail
We recently visited the resorts on the Monorail track to see what’s new! So here are the latest updates!
Hello, DFB friends!
Main Street
We spent a day at Magic Kingdom and then popped over to the nearby Monorail Resorts to see what’s new. The list is short, but there are SOME updates, so let’s get going!
Thinking of heading to Disney World for some fall fun during the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday?
Maple Leaf Cookie Sandwich
While some of your family may be THRILLED to skip out on the turkey and stuffing this year, and grab a burger or pizza in Disney instead, if you’re looking to get a more “traditional” or “full” Thanksgiving meal, there are quite a few spots around Disney World offering special menus and more to help you celebrate the holiday. Now, 4 more restaurants have also announced special Thanksgiving offerings!
Halloween season is a monster’s time to shine!
Mikey and Sulley Reversible Youth Tee
As Disney fans, the first monsters we think of aren’t vampires or werewolves — it’s our buddies from Monsters, Inc.! And, in honor of the upcoming holiday, Capt. Cook’s at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is serving up a seasonal dessert that’s scary cute!
Ah, Halloween season in Disney World. Is there a better time of year?
Mickey Mouse Pumpkin Balloon Popcorn Bucket
If you’ve been keeping up with DFB, you know we’ve been trying ALL SORTS of delicious Halloween treats in and around the Disney parks — and we’ve been jamming out to the spooky entertainment too! But, that’s not the end of Halloween fun. WAY more Halloween treats are coming to Disney World and we’re taking a first look!
Do you know ‘Olu Mel? If not, we’re going to help you say “Aloha!” to this little one…
‘Olu Mel!
‘Olu Mel might be familiar to you if you’ve ever visited Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa. This little sea turtle is a friend to Mickey and Duffy… but you don’t have to go to to Hawaii to get to know this pal, because Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort in Disney World is celebrating him with limited-time treats and merchandise right now!

We’ve been hard at work scoping out all the news for you this week. Today we have all the details on the latest in the Disney World theme parks and MORE!
Perfect Ears for Fall!
See all of our coverage on Disney park reopenings HERE. We still have a LOT to share with you this week, so let’s jump right in… .
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has no shortage of great places to eat! And with Tambu Lounge officially reopened, guests now have even more options when choosing where to eat at the Poly.
Capt. Cook’s
But this trip, we’re scoping out Capt. Cook’s — the resort’s resident quick-service option. This spot offers up standard burgers, breakfast fare (we see you, Tonga Toast!), flatbreads, late-night snacks, and more — as well as more unique island-inspired dishes! We already swung (ok, more like RAN) by when we noticed that Pulled Pork Nachos were back on their menu! We wondered what other surprises would be in store for us this time… .
If there’s one food item that we here at DFB have raved about for years and will CONTINUE to shout about for years to come, it’s Tonga Toast.
Tonga Toast
This beauty can be found at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort over at Capt. Cook’s as well as Kona Cafe. It easily tops our list as something you MUST try when you visit the Polynesian — and arguably something everyone should try in all of Disney World!
There are a few signature dishes at Captain Cooks in Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort that are worth a trip on the monorail to enjoy. In the morning, it’s all about the Tonga Toast, but in the afternoon, the pulled pork nachos are what we’re after!
Captain Cook’s
On our visit to the Polynesian today, we swung by Captain Cooks and FREAKED when we noticed that we could order the pulled pork nachos once again!
