food IS a theme park
For those of you who love margaritas and visited Disney World in 2019, you might know of the Black Magic Margarita! It was a DELICIOUS frozen margarita that we loved! Now, we’ve got some great news for you!

The marg is now available in a new location! So…it might be a little easier to snag.
It’s a new day which means there’s more snacking to do in Disney World!
Westward Ho in Magic Kingdom
Earlier today we reunited with one of our favorite snacks in Magic Kingdom, the Pepper Jack Pretzel (!!), and, if that wasn’t enough excitement for the day, we also got to stop by a reopened snack kiosk for more goodies — Westward Ho! Now, this snack kiosk has been open on and off since last year serving up another one of our favorites — corn dog nuggets — but not anymore! Today the location is open with a NEW menu!
As you may know, we’re halfway to the holidays! Not too long from now, the Disney parks will be covered in (fake) snow and ornaments will be everywhere!

But for now, we’ve got some great news for anyone craving some Christmas spirit!
One of Disney’s Animal Kingdom seasonal snack Kiosks, The Smiling Crocodile, is back! This spot is known for wacky treats like the delicious Pulled Pork Jelly Doughnuts and the surface-of-the-sun hot Pulled Pork Tamales, and serves up Mexican-inspired cuisine!
The Smiling Crocodile
For the past year, this snack spot has been closed, but on July 11th it reopened with an updated menu! So, we stopped by to check it out!
The Smiling Crocodile is a seasonal kiosk at Disney’s Animal Kingdom that served up crazy treats like the Pulled Pork Jelly Doughnut in the past! This is a good spot to get something a little different than the usual Animal Kingdom eats, but we’ve had some mixed feelings about some of their dishes (like those tamales that lit our mouths on fire!).

However, we’re excited to see that the Smiling Crocodile is back with a new menu! The restaurant reopened on July 11th, so of course, we had to go check it out!
Disney pretzels are classic snacks! When you think of Disney park snacks, a Mickey pretzel will probably come to mind along with popcorn, Mickey ice cream bars, and Dole Whip!
The Mickey Pretzel!
Recently, a returning pretzel popped up at Disneyland, and it’s got a spicy twist (pun intended)!
Clarabelle’s Hand-Scooped Ice Cream at Disney California Adventure serves up sweet treats that are perfect for beating the heat! Located on the Buena Vista Street section of Disney California Adventure, it’s a great spot to cool down and enjoy an ice cream sundae!
Clarabelle’s Hand-Scooped Ice Cream
Clarabelle’s officially reopened on July 8th and we stopped by to get the scoop (pun intended)! In the past, we’ve loved dishes like the Oswald Sundae and the “Whole Herd” Ice Cream Bar, so we’re excited to be back!

From July 6th to August 12th, Disney Springs will be home to Flavors of Florida, an event where all sorts of Disney Springs restaurants and kiosks will be serving dishes with ingredients inspired by the Sunshine State!

The Polite Pig in Disney Springs is a spot that serves up delicious barbecue and an excellent selection of drinks, including a wide array of Bourbons and Rye Whiskeys!

This year, Flavors of Florida is back at Disney Springs from July 6th to August 12th! So, of course, we tried everything Polite Pig was offering for this event! We tried a key lime pie donut, GATOR, and more in Disney Springs. And now, it’s time to explore the Polite Pig offerings!
