food IS a theme park
It seems like each time we think we’ve figured out where we’re going to have our Valentine’s Day dinner, another Disney World restaurant announces their specials!
Paradiso 37 Disney Springs
And, then we’re back to square one trying to choose between all the amazing options! Now we’ve got yet another option since a Disney Springs restaurant is offering a 3-course meal.
We have been soaking in all of the NEW things that have recently opened in Disney World, like the beautiful new EPCOT entrance fountain and the delicious Gideon’s Bakehouse. But, there’s still quite a few projects that have been delayed following the temporary closure of the theme parks.
EPCOT
We are no stranger to construction walls and an “in-progress” status when it comes to projects around Disney World. Though, we’re starting to wonder what’s happening with some highly anticipated restaurants that were seemingly announced eons ago.
Traveling to Disney World in January? Eating around the parks and Disney Springs can add up to a big expense pretty quickly, but there are lots of ways to save some money when dining in the most magical place on earth.
Homecomin’ Squeeze Bottle
And today we have gathered all the January Disney World dining deals right here for you!Â
We’ve been keeping a close eye on all of the restaurant reopenings in Disney World!
Spice Road Table
While we’ve been snacking our way around the parks and watching a few Character Cavalcades along the way, we have especially been excited to see multiple spots around Disney World reopen during the holidays. And, it looks like another dining location is welcoming guests back through the end of the year!
Christmas and New Year’s might be around the corner, but we are SUPER HYPED for National Cupcake Day!
Sprinkles
And, Sprinkles is ready to celebrate it in the sweetest way possible by bringing back a returning cupcake for a limited time only! (So, that means you’re going to want to rush to a bakery near you soon!)
Disneyland might not be open yet (and we miss it dearly), but Downtown Disney has still been one of our favorite date night or family getaway spots recently. As restaurants have continued to open in the shopping and dining district, table-service locations have been modifying their experiences with limited capacity, seating, and menus. BUT, they’re just as great as we remember them to be!
Downtown Disney District
Downtown Disney dining has been exclusively offering outdoor seating for guests to relax and enjoy their meals in the nice California weather. For a while, select restaurants started to reintroduce indoor dining again (with limited capacity) once California law permitted it, but they’ve since been pushed back to only outdoor dining, as the county Disneyland resides in has moved to the strictest tier of the state’s Coronavirus protocols.

Happy Thanksgiving from Disney World, friends!
The Edison
The Most Magical Place on Earth is one of the best places to celebrate the holidays, and we’re glad we got to have a Thanksgiving meal here this year! While Disney is offering several Thanksgiving meal options around the parks and property, we decided to try out the holiday offering at The Edison today!
Rainforest Cafe is a great spot at Disney World to see some nearly realistic animals (besides at the Jungle Cruise, of course).
Rainforest Cafe at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
This jungle-themed restaurant can be found at both Disney Springs and Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Because we’re obsessed with food (obviously), we’ve noticed that its menu has undergone some updates and price changes so we’re here to share them with you!
Ever since Disney World re-opened, we’ve been daydreaming about the day that we’d be able to get ‘Ohana’s Bread Pudding once again.
‘Ohana Bread Pudding with Sauce
You guys already know how we feel about all that pineapple bread, ice cream, and banana caramel sauce (we’re about to go into a food coma just thinking about it). While the Bread Pudding was originally exclusive to ‘Ohana, we’ve seen it pop up at the Tambu Lounge and even as an option in the $60 room-service Twilight Feast at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort in the past.
But, this epic Bread Pudding has NOT yet shown up ANYWHERE Disney World reopened…UNTIL TODAY. We have INCREDIBLE news for our fellow Bread Pudding devotees!Â
We’re still full from the massive list of holiday treats that we ate in Disney World (and they were worth every bite).
McDonald’s Happy Meal
But, we can’t help but look forward to our next great meal in or out of the parks! 😉 Restaurants like McDonald’s have made a home for themselves as Disney continues to expand its property. And, White Castle has announced that it will also be bringing its ONLY Florida location right nearby the Disney World resort area!
