food IS a theme park
The holidays can be such a fun and exciting time…especially when Disney announces its special holiday dining offerings!
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
We haven’t made it through Halloween or Thanksgiving yet, but Disney has us in anticipation of the holiday season with the release of two new Christmas Day menus.
D-Luxe Burger in Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs is the reigning champ of Mobile Order secret menu items, and the hits just keep on coming! We shared our first D-Luxe secret menu item here (plus tips on how to get them for yourself!), and since early-2018, we’ve seen burgers, shakes, and nuggets come and go with some (delicious) regularity.
D-Luxe and That Gorgeous Florida Sky
At present, D-Luxe Burger has eight Mobile Order-only secret menu items (eight!!). [Read more…]

Just yesterday we speculated that Bongos, the Cuban-inspired Disney Springs restaurant owned by iconic singer Gloria Estefan, would close next week, and today we have confirmation that, indeed, the restaurant will close on August 18th.

The Orlando Sentinel cites Emily Clark of Lettuce Entertain You, who confirms that Bongos’ replacement will be Beatrix — which you can learn more about here!
Since the announcement that Disney Springs’ West Side would be getting a City Works Eatery & Pour House, we’ve been eagerly awaiting more information about the franchise’s American-style eats and dozens of craft beers. (Click here for the original announcement!)
City Works construction
City Works currently operates seven locations throughout the country, and many of the chain’s signature menu items are replicated in multiple locations. So we visited one such locale to sample some of the eats that might be coming to the Disney Springs location. Note that the menu has not been announced for Disney Springs at press time, but since so many of the menus around the country feature the same items, we’re guessing some of them will come to Disney World as well!
Whether you’ve planned a rest day at your resort, live locally and want a Disney dining experience, or just don’t want to eat another meal in one of Walt Disney World’s parks, dining on property without a park ticket offers many delicious options.
Storybook Dining
Resort dining is often fantastic, and Disney Springs has more options for dining than ever before.
