food IS a theme park
The Disney Wish is the newest addition to the Disney Cruise Line fleet, and it comes with some new and exclusive offerings!
Disney Wish cruise ship
We were invited to a media event so we could get a preview of all the new features, staterooms, and restaurants (and more) and experience the debut and christening of the Disney Wish. Right now we’re here with a review of the new animation-inspired restaurant exclusive to the ship!
It’s been a BIG week for the Disney Wish — the newest cruise ship to join the Disney Cruise Line fleet.
On board the Disney Wish!
We played, explored, ate, drank, and even slid our way around the Wish, and now we’re sharing everything you need to know. From Marvel-themed dining experiences to the first-ever attraction at sea, we’ve done it all. And now, we’re taking a look at ANOTHER dining option on the Disney Wish — Mickey and Friends Festival of Foods — so let’s check it out!
There are a LOT of new eats and drinks in Disney Springs this month!
Disney Springs
Why? Well, it’s officially time for the Flavors of Florida event, where from now until August 14th more than 30 locations around the shopping and dining complex feature special offerings that celebrate the Sunshine State. And if you want to participate in the fun, one quick-service burger spot has not one, not two, but THREE special treats to try!
There are SO many dining options in EPCOT, it’s honestly challenging to keep track of them all.
EPCOT
You’ll find at least one dining spot in each of the World Showcase countries, many with authentic cuisine and unique snacks. Besides those, you’ve got places like the newly-opened Space 220 or Connections Eatery in the front of the park, which are great options for a stop between all those rides. Recently, one EPCOT spot got a bit of a menu update, and we stopped by to try it out and share our thoughts!
If you’re a fan of Frozen or have a little one who is, you’ve been WARNED. ❄️ 🚨
Arendelle
Disney Cruise Line’s NEW mega ship — the Disney Wish — features one-of-a-kind experiences — from a Star Wars-themed lounge to a Marvel-themed dining experience. But there’s something special onboard for Frozen fans too! Arendelle: A Frozen Dining Adventure is an interactive dinner experience that’ll put you at the center of all the fun. Thanks to a media invite, we’ve been able to explore ALL of the Disney Wish, including Arendelle. Is this spot a must-do for Frozen fans? Is it reason enough for you to book a cruise on the Wish A.S.A.P.? Let’s dine at this spot and find out together!
You know what’s better than a donut? A NEW donut to try!
We love a new donut!
In Disney Springs, Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew is known for their delicious and unique donuts AND their cold brew, as well as their breakfast sandwiches (like the Grilled Cheeeeeese, and yes, it’s really spelled like that). They just announced the upcoming arrival of not one but TWO new donuts coming soon, so let’s get into it!
Looking for the source of Disney magic? We’ll let you in on a little secret…it’s the Cast Members!
Cast Members are the BEST!
They go above and beyond to keep the magic alive every single day. We’ve seen their hard work rewarded with things like Cast Member compliments, exclusive events, and even fun competitions! And we wanted to highlight Disney World’s amazing Cast Members by asking our readers to share their favorite Cast Member interactions at Disney World restaurants!
There are lots of exciting dining and snack updates happening in Disney World these days!
Brunch spread at Olivia’s Cafe
In the past few months, the parks and resorts have opened several new restaurants and we’ve still got more on the way! On top of that, we’ve got a long list of new snacks available for the summer season. And now, Disney has made a very exciting announcement about an under-the-radar restaurant!
If you’re hoping to enjoy an extra special dining experience at Disney World, character meals are a popular choice!
Garden Grill
Currently, there are full character meal options in three of the four parks (the full experiences haven’t yet returned to Magic Kingdom), as well as multiple Disney World hotels. One of our favorite spots to visit here at DFB is Garden Grill in EPCOT, and today, the restaurant made a big menu change!
Disney Springs is home to so many incredible restaurants that it can be difficult to decide which one to choose during a visit!
Disney Springs
You can visit quick service spots like D-Luxe Burger for some delicious food on the go, or stop by table service restaurants like Wine Bar George or Paddlefish for a sit-down meal. Today we learned that one popular Disney Springs restaurant is closing early, so here’s what you need to know!
