food IS a theme park
If there’s a new Disney restaurant, you can bet we’ll eat there!
Pixar Lamp and Ball at Pixar Place Hotel
Our latest foodie adventures took us to the Disneyland Resort to try the brand-new Small Bytes pool bar at Pixar Place Hotel. Themed after Pixar Animation Studios films, this bar easily subverts expectations in several ways that surprised us. What do we mean by that? Let’s dive into our review and find out!
Disneyland food is just BETTER according to many Disney Parks visitors.
Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs
One iconic snack stand to grab a bite to eat is Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs, located in Downtown Disney. side from serving Disneyland’s Original Hand-dipped Corn Dogs, guests can also try a Golden Dragon Panko-Crusted Corn Dog. But keep an eye out for even more offerings! Signs at the stand will let you know when limited-time corn dogs are available. We’ve spied everything from a Pickle Corn Dog to a coconut-crusted dog! Now, though, we’ve spotted something new entirely, and we just HAVE to try it.
Cue the SCREAMS…we’re talkin’ about everyone’s favorite boy band: 4*Town!
4*Town Fav*4*Ites Booth
Well, at least we’re talking about everyone’s favorite boy band from Turning Red, one of many beloved Pixar films being celebrated during Disneyland Resort’s Pixar Fest! Now, you may be wondering what the hitmakers behind “U Know What’s Up” have to do with a food review, so let me tell you: Robaire, Jesse, Tae Young, Aaron Z., and Aaron T. are the inspiration behind 4*Town Fav*4*ites Inspired by Turning Red, which is one of six brand new Food Booths at Disney California Adventure for this year’s Pixar Fest!
This might be the BEST DAY EVER!

We are FINALLY getting to visit The Snuggly Duckling! Our dreams have finally come true. Disney has brought the little restaurant with our favorite ruffians and thugs to life at Fantasy Springs in Tokyo Disney. Fantasy Springs officially opens on June 6th, but we got to drop in to sing about our dreams a little early, and boy are we glad we did! Let’s take a look!
We are so excited to bring you some NEW food news!

Brand new restaurants are coming soon to a Disney park, so you know we jumped at the chance to give it a try! Tokyo DisneySea will soon be opening Fantasy Springs, a new sea port that will include three new lands. The new port will open on June 6th this year, but Disney invited us to experience it all BEFORE it opened. Of course, we couldn’t turn down the opportunity to try the new restaurant coming to Frozen Kingdom — the Royal Banquet of Arendelle!
When you are in the mood for some New Orleans vibes, there is no better place to go than Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter. There are lots of fun decorations, and of course BEIGNETS!

However, before we all get too excited, we aren’t headed to get beignets. In fact, where we are going, they don’t even serve beignets. GASP!
The EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival is one that just keeps the new eats coming!
Let’s try the new menu!
The Farmer’s Feast Booth is one of our favorites because it features a rotating seasonal menu which means we get to keep coming back for more. We checked out the Early Bloom Menu, followed by the Springtime Menu, and now we’re bringing you our review of the Summer Solstice Menu!
Although spring technically just began, we’ve been celebrating the arrival of the season since February with EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival.
Farmer’s Feast Booth (2023)
We tried every. single. one. of the food booths, checked out all the merchandise, and we even won a PRIZE for snacking around the park. However, there’s way more to come. You see, some of the booths have rotational menus. One of those booths is Farmer’s Feast, located toward the front of the park. From February 28th through March 3oth, you could snag the booth’s Early Bloom Menu, which is what we tried on the first day of the festival. The items we tried were the Veal Tenderloin, Strawberry Rhubarb Upside-Down Cake, Grilled Street Corn on the Cob, Hibiscus Lemonade Cocktail, and the Frozen Lemon Tea Cocktail. The booth was okay — everything was fine except for the veal. The veal was not the greatest. However, now that April is here, Farmer’s Feast is donning a NEW menu from now until April 27th.
Disneyland has an exciting new food offering and if you’re a fan of twists on classic American fare, you’re going to want to check this one out!
Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure
The Disneyland Resort is home to several incredible restaurants and we recently visited one of its more underrated ones — GCH Craftsman Grill to try the new hot dog of the month!Â
This is not the LA Style you’re thinking of. It wasn’t inspired by Project Runway, you won’t find any couture labels or fashionistas, but we still think Tim Gunn would give it a high score.
2024 booth
The 2024 Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival has officially begun at Disneyland Resort and there are LOTS of things to do. From now through April 22nd, you can devour some tasty eats and drinks, check out unique entertainment, and more. Wondering just what you can eat at the LA Style booth? Well, we’ve checked it out, and now we’re sharing our FULL thoughts.
