food IS a theme park
Ever since the pandemic, we’ve seen a TON of changes with Disney World restaurants.
Akershus
We’ve seen the dining locations at hotels and parks slowly reopen over the past few years, and things like buffets and character meals have returned over time. Now, breakfast is coming back to a popular EPCOT restaurant, and we’ve got the menu!
Here at DFB, we love enjoying a Disney meal.
Goofy is such a goof!
But what makes a Disney meal even better? Our favorite characters, of course! Recently, we got to see the princesses return to Cinderella’s Royal Table and the buffet return to Chef Mickey’s. Now, we’ve got another character meal change to share with you — and we’re headed to Disney’s Hollywood Studios this time.
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.
Is there any image more iconic in all of Walt Disney World than Magic Kingdom’s Cinderella Castle?
Cinderella Castle in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom
Believe or not, there IS another place in Magic Kingdom that comes pretty darn close. It’s the Beast’s Castle in Fantasyland, and — much like Cinderella Castle — it is home to a uniquely themed dining experience that has become a must-do for many guests visiting Walt Disney World. [Read more…]
We’re heading into March in Disney World, and there’s a LOT happening!
Our happy place!
2023 is going to be a busy year in general, but with changes happening for Genie+, a new restaurant opening, and the start of another EPCOT festival, March is the TIME to be in Disney World. (Unless you really want to avoid the crowds, because you know they’ll be hefty this month for Spring Break!) So if you’re visiting soon, what are the best things to do? Here’s our list!
We’ve wrapped up the first month of the year, and now we’re heading into February!
Animal Kingdom
February at Disney World often falls into what people call the “slow season” — but there’s still a lot going on! If you’re heading to the parks in the coming weeks, there are a few things that you might want to check out.
Figuring out where to eat on your Disney World vacation can be confusing, especially if you don’t know about all your options!
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Luckily, that’s where we come in — we’ve been to every single restaurant and snack stand in Disney World and we know which ones are worth your time. From the parks to resorts, we’re bringing you our complete guide to eating around Disney World — and it’s time to head to Disney’s Contemporary Resort!
It’s nearly IMPOSSIBLE to keep up with all the restaurant changes in Disney World.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Dining locations have reopened in phases, and there are still some that have yet to open. We’ve also noticed the return of character meals (with hugs!) and buffets being brought back to restaurants that were temporarily made into family-style establishments. Now, a buffet is back at a popular character meal, and we stopped by to check it out!
Are you ready for a party?! We’re not talking just any old party, either.
It’s time for Minnie’s Beach Bash!
Slowly but surely, we’ve seen the return of character dining to Disney World. Just recently we got to hang out with Winnie the Pooh and Friends at Crystal Palace, plus Lilo, Stitch, and more are back at ‘Ohana too. But now, it’s time to celebrate because Minnie’s Beach Bash Breakfast has returned to Cape May Cafe, and we’re reviewing it all!
Get ready — 🚨 dining is getting MORE expensive in Disney World. 🚨
Chef Mickey’s
Hundreds of price increases impacted Disney World restaurants back in early 2022, and again in October. From bottled water and soda price increases to increases on Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Bars, there’s a lot to unpack in Disney’s latest reveals. But if you’re a big character dining fan, then there’s one particular update you need to know about at Chef Mickey’s.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
