food IS a theme park
There’s a reason we always tell you to be prepared for anything on your Disney World trip.
Magic Kingdom
From hurricanes to fire alarms to literal wild bears — you never know what to expect. And folks visiting Magic Kingdom today were in for a rough surprise as one of the most iconic and popular restaurants is unexpectedly closed.
Well, the past week has been an exciting one, especially for us Disney World fans!
Pumpkin Spice Butter Bar
We got some updates on some pretty MAJOR projects happening in the parks, including a revamped Country Bears Jamboree, more ideas for the Magic Kingdom expansion, and potential concepts for the reimagining of DinoLand, U.S.A. But that isn’t all that happened. While all THAT was going on, Disney World was changing up some restaurant menus, but it’s okay because we are on top of it!
One of the most important parts of your Disney World trip (in our opinion) is what you choose to eat! There are lots of great options for snacks and meals in the parks, but there are also some less-than-stellar eats to watch out for.

We’re in Disney World every single day, and we’ve tried just about everything there is to eat there. We’re here to help you find the best possible food, drinks, and snacks! Come along with us to see the best places to eat in Disney World. [Read more…]
Disney is known for their entertainment, shows, and theme park rides, but our favorite thing is actually the FOOD!
Cinderella Castle
Each Disney World park has its popular snacks to select from whenever you visit. With so much to eat, there are seemingly endless options for guests to choose from, so it can be overwhelming! Well, we are here to help you out — here are three snack items that we’ll never NOT recommend at Magic Kingdom.
So, you finally make it to Magic Kingdom after months of planning and head straight to your favorite restaurant to pick up that iconic Disney snack.
Mickey Waffle
Mickey Waffles, Corn Dog Nugs — we don’t judge! No matter your go-to, you might run into a big snag that can seriously affect your experience. Want to keep those hot fries hot and ice cream frozen? Listen up, because we have a crucial tip to making your meal better.
We’ve said it before — Magic Kingdom can be seriously lacking in the good eats department (compared to other Disney World parks, at least!)
Cinderella Castle
But, amidst the dismal display of delicious dishes in this park, one restaurant shines as a beacon of hope and all things good. It’s there when you’re looking for a snack, a full meal, a sweet treat, and even something to cool down with. We are, of course, talking about Casey’s Corner on Main Street, U.S.A. — and we’re taking you with us to eat everything (okay, mostly everything, but whatever.)
We’ve eaten a LOT of food in Disney World over the years. But even after thousands of different items, there are still some things that remain on our list of favorites.

If you’ve followed us for a while, you probably know that we’re big fans of the Corn Dog Nuggets at Casey’s Corner and the Cheeseburger Spring Rolls at the spring roll cart. We love a good Dole Whip and the Pulled Pork Mac & Cheese at Flame Tree Barbecue is a must-get. But above almost anything else, there’s one thing we’re OBSESSED with…and that’s plastic cheese!
If there’s one thing we’ll remind you to do over and over and over again in Disney World…it’s HYDRATE.
Water for the win!
During your vacation you’re probably walking a LOT of steps (we’re talking 20K+) and chances are, it’s hot and humid on top of that. It’s important to drink lots of water throughout the day so that you can take care of your body. One great tip is that Disney World’s quick service restaurants hand out free cups of water to guests if you ask — but now, that process has gotten EASIER.
Over the years, we’ve eaten a LOT of food in Magic Kingdom. Like, seriously. Probably more food than you can fathom!
Cinderella Castle
And throughout those hundreds (or thousands!) of meals, we’ve learned quite a bit. Menus change all the time and restaurants go through periods of ups and downs, but there are still four essential meals that you’ll eat in Magic Kingdom. And today, we’re breaking them down for you!
So much is always changing at Disney World, it’s hard to keep up with it all.

New snacks arrive. Old favorite snacks disappear (yes, we’re still mourning Wendell’s Bear Claw). Disney World restaurants come and go. Restaurant menus also change regularly, so we try to keep track of them all to keep you updated!
