food IS a theme park
There are so many dining options at Disney World, that we’ve dedicated an entire blog to it!

And while kids are welcome pretty much everywhere in Disney, there are some restaurants that work slightly better than others for families with kids.
Ever wonder what it’s really like to spend Thanksgiving in Disney World? Well, we’ve got ALL the information you need to know.
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
We’ve already shared a look at what the Thanksgiving crowds were like in 2022, the Genie+ pricing on Thanksgiving from 2022, Thanksgiving food specials (which often pop up around this time), and a list of restaurants serving Thanksgiving menus. But now we’re sharing a FULL review of a Thanksgiving Feast we tried in 2022 at a Disney World quick service spot to give you an idea of what to expect!
There is a lot happening around Disney World right now.
Contemporary Resort
Buffets are BACK at Tusker House in Animal Kingdom, Kona Cafe has reopened at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, construction has started on the iconic Grand Floridian gingerbread house, and a TON of new treats have been released at many of the Disney World hotels. Speaking of treats, we are back with ANOTHER review of a new item that has been released to celebrate Thanksgiving time.
Well, we saw a lot of price increases in Disney World this week.
Be Our Guest Restaurant
Some were for food (we’ll get to that in a bit), but we also saw a price increase for Genie+ and the service switched to flexible pricing, meaning you’ll pay even more when demand is high. We’ve touched a little upon the food increases, but here’s the thing — there were a LOT more and we’re unpacking ALL those restaurant menu changes for you right here.
We’ve been celebrating Halloween in Disney World for a while now, but there are even MORE spooky new things happening!
Halloween in Disney World
There are a ton of new eats and treats at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party that we’ve already tried, but we also found out about a bunch of NEW things coming to other spots in Disney World for the month of October. So, come along with us to try out a Haunted Mansion cake over at a Disney World hotel!
Do you have a favorite Dole Whip snack? Maybe it’s just the classic Pineapple Soft-Serve Dole Whip that we all know and love.
Contempo Cafe
Maybe you’ve discovered the deliciousness of the Pineapple Upside-Down Cake which has Dole Whip on top, or maybe you’re a fan of the Watermelon Dole Whip Taco. Whatever the case, Dole Whip Day has arrived and we’re celebrating with some brand NEW Dole Whip snacks — will one of them be your new favorite?
Disney World has been going HARD on the snacks recently!
Orange Bird Dole Whip Cone
We’ve been getting new treats in the parks and resorts for seemingly every holiday, from Father’s Day to 4th of July. Now, Disney is prepping for Dole Whip Day (yep, that’s right, we’re excited too!) which will take place on July 21st. And to celebrate, you KNOW that we’re going to get some new snacks!
It was a BUSY month, y’all!
Cinderella Castle’s 50th anniversary makeover is so pretty
We’ve been gearing up for some fun on the Disney Wish, but with June being Pride month in Disney World, we ate a lot of Pride Cake, rainbow cupcakes, and even a rainbow waffle. We also tracked a LOT of menu updates throughout the month, so grab a seat, and we’ll get started!
Disney’s newest treat will be sure to help you celebrate the 4th of July!
Contempo Cafe
Traditionally, Disney goes all out for holidays and this Fourth of July is no different. Recently, Disney shared their complete list of all of the foods coming to Disney World and Disneyland for the holiday so, naturally, we had to taste test!
We know a thing or two about eating our way around Disney World!
‘Ohana Spread
Figuring out where and what to eat in Disney World can feel like an overwhelming choice. After all, there are over 400 dining experiences available across property! Sometimes it seems like the restaurants inside the parks get most of the buzz (hi there, Cinderella’s Royal Table, Space 220, Be Our Guest Restaurant, etc., etc.). Since there typically isn’t as much chatter happening around the Disney World Resort restaurants, how are you supposed to know where to start?? Well, don’t worry friends, we’re here to help!
