food IS a theme park
When it comes to date night at Disney World, STK is a pretty solid option.
STK Orlando
This Disney Springs spot specializes in, as the name implies, steakhouse classics like steaks, shellfish, and sides like mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts and creamed spinach.
Disney World can be an EXPENSIVE trip with a lot of important decisions that will either have you make or break the bank. With food price increases, a staggering amount of dining options, and the dreaded decision of to-do or not-to-do the Disney Dining Plan; planning dining for a Disney trip is a daunting task!

Happy Super Bowl Weekend! Sunday’s a big day for those of us who love football (or, you know, Justin Timberlake). But for us at DFB…OUR “Super Bowl” is later this year when the 2018 Epcot Food and Wine Festival starts!
And today is the perfect day to start planning your visit to the 2018 Epcot Food and Wine Festival. We’re having a Super SALE on the pre-order of the DFB Guide to the 2018 Epcot Food and Wine Festival!
It’s a pretty common occurrence. You’re in the middle of your Walt Disney World vacation, it’s the holiday season, and you’d love to enjoy a table service meal.
But there’s only one problem: you don’t have an Advance Dining Reservation (ADR).
Maybe your plans changed — or the weather did. Or it could just be that you planned to grab counter service, but now you’re rethinking that move. Whatever the situation, you might think that all hope is lost. There’s no way you’re getting into any Disney table service restaurant that you didn’t book 180 days out. Right?
You might be surprised to learn that I book a lot of tables just days before I head to Walt Disney World. And it’s not all that rare for me to change things up at the last minute — even during the busiest times of the year!
How do I do it? Flexibility helps a LOT. But if that’s not an option, what you need are some tried and true spots where you can probably score a table with very short notice, or even as a walk up.
Here are our suggestions for Where to Dine When You Don’t Have a Reservation in Walt Disney World. And if you love what you see here, be sure to check out the DFB Guide to Walt Disney World Dining for tons of great tips!
One of my favorite resort dining spots is The Wave…of American Flavors at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Bonus: it’s within walking distance (or a monorail ride) of Magic Kingdom!
The Wave offers a hearty start to your day. Enjoy an a la carte breakfast of some of the restaurant’s specialties, like Sweet Potato Pancakes.

And if you can’t make up your mind between sweet and savory, you can opt for the Buffet. [Read more…]
Summer is here, and there is SO much coming into the world of Disney Food!
Can you believe all that’s happening at Disney’s Animal Kingdom? We are so excited about all of the new counter service eats and snacks that seem to be popping up daily! Tiffins Restaurant and Nomad Lounge, Animal Kingdom’s first foray into signature dining, will open soon. And with the beginning of Rivers of Light (and the rumor of Dinner Packages), we know that there’s plenty of new stuff to come in the next couple of months.
In addition, Disney Springs continues to be a hotbed of activity — Cupcake ATM, anyone??? And we’re watching everyday for updates to Star Wars and Toy Story Lands at Hollywood Studios.
It’s a lot to keep straight!! So aren’t you glad we’re here to bring you all the Disney Food News First? 😉
For sure! Here’s why: there’s SO much happening at Disney. And sometimes, especially when it comes to breaking news like Free Dining Offers or Brand New Restaurants or Special Events, it’s important to get the news as soon as possible. And that’s where the DFB Newsletter comes in. [Read more…]
