food IS a theme park
If you’re looking to try a fun new snack in Disney World, EPCOT is the place to go.
EPCOT
The International Food and Wine Festival has begun and there are tons of new foods to try. Adobo Yucca Fries, Braised Beef Poutine, and even a Pickle Milkshake have arrived for the fest, but if you get too caught up in the festival food, you might miss out on one of the best treats we’ve had in EPCOT recently. Let’s head over to the Land Pavilion to see what they’re serving!
We’re having so much fun at Disney World today!
Almost too pretty to eat
It’s the 4th of July! We’ve seen a lot of people dressed up for the occasion, and we’ve seen the reopening of TWO snack spots (Golden Oak Outpost at Magic Kingdom and Dino Diner at Disney’s Animal Kingdom). We also have been munching on some great 4th of July treats, like a 4th of July cupcake with LOADS of frosting, a 4th of July cupcake with a Mickey ear hat, and a 4th of July Funnel Cake!
It’s Valentine’s Day!!!
Le Petit Cafe
And we are running ALL over Disney World this weekend checking out the Valentine’s Day snacks and drinks! Which means we HAD to make a stop at Le Petit Cafe, which always blows us away with its beautiful pastries!
It’s one of our favorite weeks of the year! As we set our tables with Thanksgiving feasts, Disney World visitors will find holiday menus and treats around every corner. One of our awesome finds this week — the Hidden Mickey Cupcake at the Contemporary Resort!

Over the past few years, Disney has introduced some great fruity options in the parks. Some super healthy…and some not so much. But even when our selection isn’t necessarily a low-calorie treat, the added fruit at least makes us feel less guilty. 😉
So for those looking to make their five servings a day, let’s take a look at a few of those sweet treats!
Fresh Fruit at Disney's Animal Kingdom
I love to reach for a piece of fresh fruit, especially on a hot Florida day, and especially for breakfast. And these days you’ll find some really appetizing (as opposed to a few years ago) fresh-cut and whole fruits in each park. (I usually find the best stuff in Disneyland, but Disney World’s selection has gotten better and better.)
Fruit at Hollywood Studios
If you find yourself in between a Dole Whip and Mickey Ice Cream Bar at the Magic Kingdom, practicing some moderation with fruit from Liberty Square Market is a guilt-free option.
Menu Items at Liberty Square Market
One of our favorite fresh fruit menu items is found at the Animal Kingdom’s Bradley Falls and Tamu Tamu Refreshments. Doesn’t this fruit salad (pineapple, mango, grapes, blueberries, kiwi, and lychee) look amazing?!
