food IS a theme park
It’s been a VERY exciting week in Disney World when it comes to food.
Sushi
A brand new restaurant surprised us and opened early in EPCOT (and we ate a $300 sushi boat with ZERO regrets). The way you book dining on the Disney World website and My Disney Experience app has changed (and we think, it’s for the better). More EPCOT Food and Wine food booths opened, too! PLUS we saw some updates on Disney World restaurant menus, so let’s talk about those.
Did you know you can dine with CELEBRITIES in Disney World? Well…sort of!
Let’s go to Chef Mickey’s!
Cause let’s be honest here — Mickey and Minnie Mouse are definitely celebrities. They’re famous all over the world! And all around Disney World, there are plenty of character meals where you can meet the main mice along with all of their friends. Recently, I went to check out one of the most well-known options, and I have some spicy thoughts to share!
Y’all, we have seen a lot of food,eaten a lot of food, and taken a lot of photos of food this week.
Candy Corn Milkshake
Why? Because Halloween snacks have arrived PLUS we went to the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Magic Kingdom and we ate ALL the party-exclusive snacks there, too. SO much food. But we’re back with MORE food news, this time to tell you about changes happening at Disney World restaurants.
Everything is always changing in Disney World.
Ariel Milkshake
Right now, some things are changing on World Showcase Lagoon in EPCOT (and some Disney fans might not be happy about it). Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is in the middle of construction for new Disney Vacation Club villas. New restaurants are on the way, as are new attractions. But restaurant menu changes are also happening regularly at Disney World restaurants.
The ONLY thing we’ve been thinking about this week is food. Okay, well, that’s every week, but even MORE so this week because the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival has officially kicked off.

So while we were eating our way around the world, eating ALL the cheese, and buying new festival merchandise, we were also keeping an eye on Disney World restaurant menus for changes. So let’s look at how those restaurants have changed recently.
So much is always changing at Disney World, it’s hard to keep up with it all.
Madame Leota Crisped Rice Cereal Treat
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!
Although summer has been relatively quiet in Disney World, that doesn’t mean there hasn’t been a lot of stuff going on.
The Famous Cobb Salad from Hollywood Brown Derby
We did get to check out the new Caramel Flight from Karamell-Küche in EPCOT, after all. Speaking of EPCOT, a restaurant temporarily closed there, too! We also FINALLY got a look at ALL the menus for the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. Meanwhile, Disney World restaurant menus saw some changes, so let’s see what’s different now!
This September, we could hear some BIG news from Disney.
Cinderella Castle
Where will this news come from? From a HUGE Disney fan event: Destination D23, which will return to Disney’s Contemporary Resort at Walt Disney World from September 8th to the 10th, 2023.
