food IS a theme park
We are headed to eat in Italy!
Italy Pavilion in EPCOT
And since we are DFB, you can probably already guess that means we are headed to the Italy Pavilion in EPCOT to dine our hearts out. Of course, we are taking you along with us, so let’s see where we are dining!
With so many restaurants for you to choose from at Disney World, it’s fair to think that not all of them are created equal.
Magic Kingdom
So it’s understandable why we can get overwhelmed with all of the choices available to us. Now, we’re here to help you out, which is why we are constantly giving you our two-cents on these Disney World spots (we hate to see you have bad experiences on your trip), but this time we thought we’d have you to tell us which is the worst Disney restaurant at Magic Kingdom! Let’s go.
While we love to stay on property at Disney World, this off-property resort makes us rethink everything we thought we knew.
House at Evermore
Evermore Resort is a massive, one-billion-dollar resort located outside of Disney World. It features five to eleven bedroom vacation rental homes. While prices can change based on the size of your home, dates, and the number of people in your party, a stay can range from $1,379 to $3,880 per night. Each vacation home has a heated saltwater pool, a kitchen, and access to 2/3 miles of beachfront, a bay filled with 17 million gallons of water. While all of that is super impressive, we got to try a next-level in-home experience!
Over the summer, the BoardWalk got a highly anticipated addition.
Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs
Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs finally came to the East Coast after being a fan favorite at Disneyland’s Downtown Disney for years. This corn dog stand is known for its giant corn dogs. These are not just your average classic corn dogs; nope, Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs takes it up a notch and has a menu that features a Mexican Street Dog and their famous Pickle Dog. Well, something new is coming to their menu this week, and we are trying to figure out just exactly what it is!
The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers is located at Disney’s BoardWalk. We have been keeping a close eye on the restaurant for a long time now, and we are eagerly awaiting its grand opening.
The Cake Bake Shop
Seating has popped up outside and we have seen private events happening recently, so we are hoping this new restaurant will open its doors soon. We got a glimpse at the menu ahead of the restaurant’s opening a few weeks ago, and we recently noticed that something has CHANGED!
There are SO many quick service spots in EPCOT, how do you choose where to go for a cheap meal?
Spaceship Earth
With restaurants in all the World Showcase pavilions, plus a few options near the front of the park, you can get a wide variety of cuisine options around this park. But have you ever been to the food court? I took a trip there for lunch recently, and my experience was not what I expected!
If you’re heading to Disney World soon, you might want to apologize to your wallet beforehand.
Boatwright’s Dining Hall
Planning a trip to Disney World is tricky enough before even factoring in cost. We’re no strangers to Disney World price increases, as we’ve seen things like ticket prices and Lightning Lane costs get more expensive this year. Unfortunately, the blows aren’t slowing down as Disney World has increased food costs across their resorts.
Your Mickey Pretzel is about to get more expensive…
Mickey Pretzel
There are several October traditions that Walt Disney World fans love: The ongoing International Food & Wine Festival, Halloween celebrations headlined by Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and even the commemoration of Walt Disney World’s October 1971 opening. However, there’s one longstanding October “tradition” many actively dread: Price Increases.
Well, you might want to add a little bit more to your budget for your next Disney World trip.
Food at Be Our Guest
We’ve already seen price increases for Disney World tickets as of 2025, plus we’ve seen the highest prices for Lightning Lane Multi Pass yet. We’ve seen some occasional food price increases this year, but it’s that time of the year when food price increases happen across the board at Disney World restaurants. Yep, we’ve got some news about that: those price increases have finally arrived.
There are SO many places to eat in EPCOT, and it can be super overwhelming deciding where to dine.
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
Every World Showcase pavilion has a quick service restaurant, but I’m here to tell you that they are NOT all created equal. Some spots are a bit underwhelming, while others seem to hit every time. And recently, I visited one of those quick service spots that we really love here at DFB. Is it still a winner? Let’s dive in.
