food IS a theme park
We’ve reviewed lots of good lounges around Disney World lately, but we’re not sure that any of them will be able to compare to THIS meal!
Full meal
Disney’s really thrown us curveballs lately with their new fast food bread service and snacks better than grandma made them, but when we heard that a beloved menu item was returning to Crew’s Cup Lounge, we HAD to go out and see if it was just as good as it once was! [Read more…]
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.
Batten down the hatches! We have some interesting information to share with you about the Crew’s Cup Lounge in Disney’s Yacht Club Resort!Â
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort
The Yacht Club resort is home to dining locations like Ale & Compass and Yachtsman Steakhouse, which is set to open on August 5th! As more lounges around Disney World start to open, we noticed that this lounge is returning with an expanded (and expensive) new menu!
Today, we will explore What’s New at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, the BoardWalk Inn, and Disney World’s Swan and Dolphin Resorts!

There’s a lot to see, so let’s explore everything new together!
The Yacht and Beach Club Resorts have so much to offer for the Disney Food Fan from ice cream sundaes and casual eats to a steakhouse! We’ve got all the menu updates for these two resorts here!

Stormalong Bay stalwart Hurricane Hanna’s has had a recent menu update and we couldn’t wait to share it with you!
Another spot that I consider to be a hidden gem in Disney World is this little wooden bar and lounge that offers a relaxed atmosphere, some decent food and drink, and great service. Crew’s Cup Lounge is located next to Yachtsman Steakhouse in Disney’s Yacht Club Resort — within walking distance of Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

The tiny little lounge packs a big punch when it comes to accessibility, consistency, and relaxation.
Paneled from floor to ceiling with wood and sporting some very cool light-up rowers “stenciled” across the walls in brass, Crew’s Cup’s atmosphere is clear, but not overwhelming. Complimenting the craftsman-like decor of the Yachtsman Steakhouse next door, this location is cozy and comfortable.

Crews Cup Seating
Crew’s Cup is rarely busy and always offers guests a great spot to kick back, have a drink or a light meal, watch the game, or just visit with friends. In fact, when I’m spending a lot of time in Epcot, I’ve found myself relying more and more on the Crew’s Cup Lounge for a quick lunch, a place to [Read more…]
Star of Food Network’s Dinner:Impossible and owner of Eat! Restaurant in Hilton Head, Chef Robert Irvine agreed to meet with a few of his fans in a low-key gathering at the Crew’s Cup Lounge at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort Friday night. Chef is in town for the Epcot Food and Wine Festival, and the gathering was organized by a few of his facebook fan page fans! Our fearless columnist, Chef BigFatPanda, had a front-row seat for the shenanigans of the evening. Take it away, Chef!

The Anticipation Part
A few Food Network fans on Facebook heard that Chef Robert Irvine was going to be in Walt Disney World this weekend. They thought it would be great to have an informal intimate gathering of less than 20 people to just sit down and enjoy a drink with the Chef — but this sounded impossible. Surely, Chef Irvine would be very busy and not really have time to casually meet up with a few select fans.
Au contraire!
I met up with a few friends at the Crew’s Cup Lounge for the scheduled 6 o’clock meeting (I was surprised word had not leaked out on Facebook resulting in hundreds showing up). We were asked not to [Read more…]
