food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB foodies! We’re here with another What’s New at the Monorail Resorts in Disney World.
Monorail in Disney World
We’ve got lots of construction, entertainment, merch, and food updates for ya, so let’s dig on in!
Happy Arendelle Aqua Day! Disney’s new Frozen-inspired color trend collection is taking the Disney parks and resorts by storm. We’ve already explored all the new merch and reviewed several blue-hued treats, including the Arendelle Aqua Cone and Arendelle Aqua Arctic Punch.
Arendelle Aqua Cone
And NOW, Disney has released a first look at even MORE Arendelle Aqua treats coming to a few of the Disney World resorts!
If you find yourself at Disney’s Grand Floridian, Gasparilla Island Grill is a great option for counter-service comfort food.
BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich
We spotted the BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich on the menu a few weeks back, and we’re glad we got the opportunity to try and review it for you!
Yes, we were just at Gasparilla Island Grill at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort yesterday to try their new Mocha Cupcake. But that doesn’t mean we can’t come right back to try an even newer cupcake making its debut TODAY, does it?
Carousel Cupcake
Nope. And now, having seen the new Carousel Cupcake yourself, I’m sure you understand why! [Read more…]
We’re hopping on the Walt Disney World Monorail Resort Loop to see What’s New at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Grand Floridian Resort, and Contemporary Resort. There will be rain coats! There will be cupcakes! There will be other new things! Please stand clear of the doors, and let’s glide!
Hop on board!
Our first stop is the Transportation and Ticket Center where we browsed Mickey’s Gift Station. [Read more…]
This week we hopped on the monorail for a tour of all the resorts around Seven Seas Lagoon! We stopped by the Grand Floridian to check out their yearly Easter Egg display, checked out the latest cupcake to arrive at Contempo Cafe in the Contemporary Resort, and sipped on the new spiked Dole Whip drink at the Polynesian!
Contemporary Monorail
First, let’s head to the Grand Floridian for some special springtime treats!
We spent some time visiting the Grand Floridan and Polynesian Village Resorts while on our way to the Magic Kingdom, and spotted some menu updates for you!
Aloha from Stitch at the Polynesian Village Resort!
After enjoying a Lapu Lapu at the recently renovated Tambu Lounge we found some menu updates at Kona Island.
We took a Monorail tour of the Magic Kingdom resorts to find all that’s new for you! We started out in the Contemporary Resort.
Hello from the Contemporary
We let you know earlier about the Latte Art at Contemporary Grounds. If you’re having a latte this is a fun way to add a smile to your cup of coffee.
Hello from the Monorail Resorts! Nothing makes us happier than boarding the Monorail on our way to the Magic Kingdom!
This time we stopped at each resort along the way and collected a bunch of updates for you! [Read more…]
Coconut lovers, have I got a treat for you today!
And it’s located someplace rather unexpected: Gasparilla Island Grill in Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort.
You see, Gasparilla Island Grill has never been a spot we’ve visited specifically to seek out dessert. Like, EVER. Gasparilla has always carried a couple of cupcakes in the refrigerated section, like the Pina Colada Cupcake and the German Chocolate Cupcake. But when you consider the fact that some really incredible dessert options are just a quick ride away via the Resort Monorail (like the Peanut Butter Pie at Contempo Cafe, or Dole Whips at Pineapple Lanai), Gasparilla’s offerings usually seemed pretty ho-hum in comparison.
However, when the counter service spot opened up again after its most recent refurbishment (no major changes to the guest area, other than the addition of Coke Freestyle machines), the dessert options had changed. And they’d been enhanced.

No longer relegated to a small row or two in the refrigerator, desserts now entirely take up a full bakery case next to the more traditional breakfast pastry selections. The cute-as-a-button Minnie Mouse Cupcake stands out right away. [Read more…]
