food IS a theme park
Some Disney snacks are just iconic.
Classic DOLE Whip
But if you ask us, one stands out among the rest — the Dole Whip! There’s nothing quite like cooling down on a hot park day with a refreshingly delicious Dole Whip. But we have a word of warning if your Disney World trip isn’t complete without this classic treat — some of them will now cost you more!
Let’s take a trip down to the bayou for another roundup of What’s New at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort! Let The Good Times Roll or as they say, Laissez les bon temps rouler!
Port Orleans — Riverside
This is where we take you on a virtual walk around Disney World’s Port Orleans Resort to spot any and all of the latest food updates, construction, and merch we’ve spotted along the way!
We stopped by Animal Kingdom this week to round up all the latest news for you! We found lots of menu updates and changes and some great new merchandise! So, let’s get to it…
Animal Kingdom Entrance
If you’re looking for that adorable Simba Cupcake while you’re in Animal Kingdom, your best bet is to head to Pizzafari since it is no longer in the Creature Comforts bakery case. We did spot the Caramel Mocha and the Lotus Blossom cupcake in the lineup though!
One of our favorite places to relax and enjoy a few quiet and cool moments is Nomad Lounge in Animal Kingdom. We recently stopped there and enjoyed the apps and drinks. This week we noticed the menu has seen some updates yet again.
Nomad Lounge Seating Area
We love Nomad Lounge’s “riverfront” location (it is Tiffins‘ neighbor) and their ever-changing small plates menu. [Read more…]

Thankfully, we have wonderful readers who help keep us all up-to-date with these changes. Here are a few of the updates… . And stay tuned for our review of the NEW Le Cellier Steakhouse menu coming up soon!
According to a server, menu changes took place approximately two weeks ago at the Beach Club’s Beaches & Cream Soda Shop. Check out the addition of a Vegetarian Falafel on flatbread which replaces the Grilled Vegetable Sandwich.

Artist Point in Disney’s Wilderness Lodge has a few menu updates this Spring, according to DFB reader Elyssa Henry!
She says, “My husband and I just ate at Artist Point for the first time and it was AMAZING! Thanks for the previous reviews. They helped guide our choices. I also wanted to let you know that they just added two items to the menu and our server, Paul, told us tonight was their debut.”

It sounds like the Wild Columbia River Cedar Plank Roasted King Salmon is back on the menu, and there’s also a seasonal dessert to sample: pistachio coffee cake and sea salted caramel vanilla panna cotta.
