food IS a theme park
Hello from Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
How gorgeous is this?!
We’re here checking out anything new that pops up around this beautiful park, so come with us to see what we found!
Let’s take a trip to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Animal Kingdom
We’ve got a quick update about all things new in Animal Kingdom, so let’s go!
It’s been a busy week at Disney World!
Pulled Pork Jelly Doughnut Sandwich because why not?
We’re seeing signs that things are returning to normal at Disney World, including the reopenings and potential reopenings of some of our favorite restaurants and snack spots! And we’ve got new menus for a few locations, too, as well as a brand new margarita! So let’s get on with the updates!
It’s always a great day in the parks when a beloved dining location reopens to guests! And, today has brought us the official return of the Eight Spoon Cafe in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Eight Spoon Cafe has reopened!
While the Eight Spoon Cafe may not seem super intriguing, it’s one of our favorite snack places with amazing pulled pork and mac you don’t want to miss! In honor of its reopening, of course, we’re taking you with us to try bites from the menu once again.
It’s a very exciting time to be at Disney World, y’all! So much is happening right now!
Eight Spoon Cafe has reopened!
Some of our favorite ride pre-shows have returned, we can now play with some fun interactive features in ride lines, and we saw Happily Ever After fireworks testing last night at Magic Kingdom.
Disney World is slowly returning to its pre-closure normal. We’ve seen the end of temperature checks, the end of face-covering requirements in most locations, and social distancing measures have been removed.
The baked mac and cheese is BACK!!!!
Hungry crowds are returning to Disney World, and well, they need places to eat. So we’ve also seen a lot of restaurants and snack spots reopening, including Cape May Cafe, Tusker House Restaurant, and Maya Grill. ALL the food is coming back, baby!
Lots of things have changed recently at Disney World. Some hotels are set to reopen soon, maskless photos can be taken outdoors, and we’ve even seen changes made when it comes to self-serve drink stations.
The Much Beloved Kakamora Float
But, when it comes to food, there’s still quite a bit that is different from how things were prior to the park closures. Some fan-favorite restaurants are still closed and quite a lot of food hasn’t returned to the parks and hotels. So, today we’re going down our list and sharing some of those food items that are still missing from Disney World so you can plan ahead for your next trip (and not be SEVERELY disappointed when you find that *spoiler alert* beignets are not available from Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter 😭).
There’s no denying that a Disney World vacation can be an expensive one!
Expensive, But Beautiful

Even though it’s been quite some time since Disney World closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there are still lots of things around the resort that have remained closed.
Spaceship Earth
Between the rides, restaurants, and resorts, there are a lot of locations that have yet to welcome guests again. Here’s a quick look at everything that still hasn’t opened in Disney World.
Please Note: We have been updating this post since its initial publishing so information regarding returning experiences and reopenings is current.

Animal Kingdom
