food IS a theme park
Well, it’s been a WEEK!
Oogie Boogie Nachos!!!
So much is going on right now. We had the first Oogie Boogie Bash in Disneyland, we celebrated Disney+ Day in the parks, and we’re getting ready for a TON of announcements from the D23 Expo this weekend! But we’re still thinking about FOOD, which means we’re keeping an eye on Disney World restaurants to see if anything has changed.
If you’ve been to Disney World, it’s likely you have a favorite hotel.
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
It might just be your favorite hotel to visit on a resort day, or your favorite to stay in, you might have a preference based on budget. There are a LOT of Disney World hotels, and each offers something a little different to guests! We often visit hotels, too, to get the latest updates, so let’s check on what’s new!
You could save $4,800 or MORE on a Disney Vacation Club membership. 🤯 We’ll say the key parts of that again slowly. Save. $4,800. Or MORE. Right NOW!
Disney Vacation Club
Disney Vacation Club is Disney’s own version of a timeshare. DVC members use a vacation points system. They can use the vacation points they have to book stays at a variety of eligible hotels. But joining DVC can cost you a pretty penny. Ever wished you could join DVC but also save some cash? Well, now is your chance!
New food is constantly arriving in Disney World, and that’s something to get excited about!
Gasparilla Island Grill
This week we’ve been enjoying a TON of new Princess-themed snacks in honor of World Princess Week. However, while we were hunting down all those Princess snacks, we found a new SANDWICH to try!
Picture this: You’ve just finished a long day at Magic Kingdom. You’ve been surrounded by heat, sweat, long lines, and french fries. You’re craving something relaxing, something that’ll make you feel like you’ve completely escaped Disney World and entered the realm of pure luxury. We’re talking chandeliers, drinks paired perfectly to a multi-course meal, and food you probably can’t even pronounce…we’re talking, of course, about Disney World’s swankiest restaurant.
It’s Fancy Dinner Time
Pull out your fancy clothes. We’re talking you the fanciest ride of your life with a FULL review of what it’s like to eat at the nicest restaurant in all of Disney World — The Grand Floridian Resort & Spa’s Victoria & Albert’s.
If you’re planning a trip to Disney World in 2023 and you have a list of must-do restaurants to visit, you need to know which restaurants might give you the hardest time when you’re trying to book your Advance Dining Reservations.
Dining in Disney World isn’t always easy!
Booking a dining reservation isn’t always difficult in Disney World, but a few table service restaurants make it a little trickier than others. We don’t want you to walk away from your trip disappointed, so let’s go over which restaurant reservations will be the HARDEST to get in 2023!
Happy Halloween, DFB Friends!
Contemporary Resort
Yes, it’s August, but the Halloween decorations have arrived in Magic Kingdom, the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has happened, and Halloween snacks have hit the parks! So that officially makes it spooky season, right? While we’ve been busy enjoying all the Halloween festivities, we’ve also popped into the Disney World hotels to see what’s new!
Have you been thinking about signing up for the Disney Vacation Club?
DVC Ears!
For those unfamiliar with the Disney Vacation Club (DVC), it’s basically Disney’s version of a timeshare represented by points. Members use those points to book rooms in Disney Parks hotels, at other Disney-owned properties around the world (like Aulani and Vero Beach), and more! If you’re interested in joining, Disney just announced a new offer just for you!
It was a BUSY month, y’all!
Cinderella Castle’s 50th anniversary makeover is so pretty
We’ve been gearing up for some fun on the Disney Wish, but with June being Pride month in Disney World, we ate a lot of Pride Cake, rainbow cupcakes, and even a rainbow waffle. We also tracked a LOT of menu updates throughout the month, so grab a seat, and we’ll get started!
Change is inevitable, even in Disney World.
Cheese and fries at Backlot Express!
Over the past two years, we’ve seen a LOT of change: we’ve experienced new rides, we’ve eaten a lot of new foods (the kind of change we’re total fans of), and we’ve watched supply issues cause problems across the resort. We’ve also seen price increases on merchandise and at restaurants, and there’s been more of that this week, so let’s get on with the restaurant menu updates!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
