food IS a theme park
While 4 Rivers Cantina Barbacoa Food Truck reopened a weeks ago and Cookie Dough and Everything Sweet Food Truck just reopened yesterday, we’ve been waiting on the rest of the Disney Springs Food Trucks to open back up!
Disney Springs Food Trucks Before The Temporary Closure
And while we saw the Mac and Cheese Food Truck and the new Hot Diggity Dog Food Truck roll into town earlier this week, we just found out they’re opening today.
A couple of days ago, we noticed the Disney Springs’ food trucks had rolled back into town!

But with the exception of 4 Rivers Cantina Barbacoa Food Truck, all these mini-restaurants (on wheels!) have remained closed in Disney Springs — until TODAY!

Actually, make that Hot Diggity DOGS…. because that’s the name of this new truck serving up a variety of over-the-top, completely loaded HOT DOGS on the West Side!
We’re changing Taco Tuesday into Taco Thursday this week with a stop at the Springs’ Street Tacos Food Truck in Disney Springs!
Springs’ Street Tacos
While it’s pretty obvious what’s on the menu from the name Springs’ Street Tacos, there’s actually more to it. In fact, our visit this week was to check out the new Bowls on the menu which are in keeping with one of the latest food trends in Disney World. [Read more…]
While the Dia de Los Muertos celebration continues in Disneyland with the new Plaza de la Familia seasonal event, Disney World is gearing up for its own taste of the festival with the Disney Pixar’s ‘Coco’ Family Celebration coming to Disney Springs!

Starting Friday, October 27th, the Celebration — a “family friendly fiesta” — will run through November 26th. From 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm daily, Disney Springs guests will enjoy themed music, food, and decor inspired by the upcoming film, Coco. The movie will follow Coco and Hector on a journey through the Land of the Dead.
Just head to Exposition Park on the West Side of Disney Springs. Yep, that’s the home of the Disney Springs Food Trucks, and that’s where Springs’ Street Tacos Food Truck (formerly Namaste Cafe) will be serving Vanilla Flan along with their regular taco menu for the celebration. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings will also feature kid-specific activities like face-painting.
So get ready for the celebration if you’re heading to Disney Springs! And, no matter where you are, get ready for Coco when the film is released on November 22nd!
Funny how quickly things can change ‘round these parts…
Not all that long ago (a little more than a year-and-a-half, to be specific), the four Disney Food Trucks were THE newest thing on the dining scene in Downtown Disney. But with all the dining additions to the ever-transforming, will-one-of-these-days-be Disney Springs over the past year, it’s been a while since we’ve had a chance to check out what’s changed at the Trucks!
So our stop today is Namaste Cafe (most often found in Exposition Park on the West Side), the truck inspired by dishes typically served at Animal Kingdom as well as Animal Kingdom Lodge.
The menu continues to feature the Naan and Samosa Dipping Safari, Butter Chicken, and Lamb Kefta (a version of which was originally part of the Superstar Catering Food Truck menu inspired by Hollywood Studios, but I think it’s a more natural fit at Namaste).

But there’s plenty of non-holiday food news as well… Starting in Morocco, Spice Road Table has not only started taking Advance Dining Reservations — they’re also now accepting the Disney Dining Plan.
To offer guests the ability to maximize their one Table Service plan credit, this tapas-based restaurant is now also serving full-sized entrees, including Coriander Crusted Rack of Lamb, Roasted Chicken, and a Mediterranean Vegetable Platter, among others.
