food IS a theme park
Not too long ago, we investigated a major Disney World mystery: where had all the POG juice gone? Drinks with POG, which stands for Passion Fruit, Orange, and Guava, had been disappearing all over Disney World, with restaurants uncertain when they’d have this delicious elixir again.

Today, we have some good news about the mysterious disappearance of POG juice!
Spooky season has OFFICIALLY begun in Disney World (and we’ve got our Halloween costumes to prove it)!

We’ve given you a look at the best deals you can score each month through January, February, March, April, May, June, July, and August. And, you’ll want to start planning your Fall trip to Disney World ASAP after you see September’s hotel and ticket offers!
Boma has returned! This Animal Kingdom Lodge buffet is back at Disney World (in full ACTUAL buffet format!) and we couldn’t be happier to be back!
Boma
We did a Boma double feature on re-opening day having both breakfast AND dinner! (What can we say? We did it for you. And Zebra Domes. But more on that in a sec.) So after letting our massive breakfast digest, we stopped back by Boma’s dinner buffet to see if it matches up to the buffet from the “before times.”
For many people, Disney’s fireworks shows are an essential part of their vacation. Sure, you can stake out a spot on Main Street, U.S.A. in the Magic Kingdom and watch Happily Ever After front and center, but there are several other places you can see the fireworks (with WAY fewer people around)!
Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom
You may be familiar with some of our favorite fireworks viewing locations, like the Polynesian beach or Disney’s Contemporary Resort, but did you know that you can also see the fireworks from a boat?
Boma is back! The first of the buffets to come back in its original buffet format (instead of plated family-style meals), Boma at the Animal Kingdom Lodge has been a longtime favorite among Disney fans and here at the Disney Food Blog!
Welcome back, Boma!
We stopped by the newly reopened Boma to see if their breakfast buffet still holds up!
Calling all fellow cupcake lovers! Remember that Moana cupcake we told you about yesterday from Capt. Cook’s at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
Lobby at Polynesian
Well…if you love Moana and cupcakes then you might be thrilled to know that there’s ANOTHER Moana cupcake also available at Disney’s Polynesian Resort right now, and this one is the official treat released in celebration of World Princess Week. We’ve been trying all kinds of new princess desserts (like the Belle cheesecake or apple pie Snow White cupcake) around the parks and resorts lately, so we just had to stop by the Poly to check this one out.
Even if you plan out every detail of your Disney World trip, things can still be unpredictable.
Rain in Disney
Rides can shut down, the weather can be bad, or transportation can be late. Sometimes you can even have issues with where you’re staying on property, which is exactly what happened today at a popular Disney hotel.
Creative Disney merchandise is our love language.

We’ve seen extravagant popcorn buckets, fun Mickey ears, and you can even make your house look like the Haunted Mansion! One thing we like to keep an eye out for are cool new ornaments, and we just found one that’s hiding something inside!
Disney World’s more than just riding Space Mountain and eating copious amounts of Dole Whip. (Don’t tell us to *shush*. It’s TRUE.)
Dole Whip!
In fact, it’s SO true that we’ve created an ENTIRE LIST of all the things you probably didn’t realize you could do in Disney World. (And if you DID know these things, well…then you need to share them with your friends who are riding Space Mountain for the thousandth time in a row! Variety is the spice of life so vary it up!!)
Aloha from Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!Â
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
The Polynesian Resort is home to a ton of delicious eats and treats, like the Pork Dumplings and Noodles at ‘Ohana and the famous Dole Whip served at Pineapple Lanai! Recently, the Barefoot Pool Bar, located right beside the main Volcano pool at the Polynesian, started serving food! With so many incredible options already available, is this little spot worth a visit?
