food IS a theme park
Staying in a Disney World hotel means you’re getting so much more than a place to sleep.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
You’re getting fun Disney-themed activities (including many you might not even know about), Disney food (which you KNOW we love), Disney theming, Disney shopping, and more! So what’s been going on with Disney World hotels recently? Let’s find out!

Now may be the time to join!
For those who don’t know, the Disney Vacation Club (DVC) is a “flexible timeshare that’s represented by Vacation Points.” Members then use those points to book hotel rooms in Disney World, rooms at other Disney-owned hotels (like Disney’s Vero Beach Resort), and more places. If that’s something you’re interested in, Disney recently announced a special DVC discount!
Disney World is constantly changing, and the same can be said for Disney World dining.
The Pineapple Upside-Down Cake with Dole Whip!
We’re seeing new and returning snacks pop up almost every day. Just this week alone, we were reunited with our much-loved Dole Whip-Topped Pineapple Upside-Down Cake, ate a refreshing new Greek Salad (see? we DO eat healthy sometimes), and started thinking ahead to the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival that starts soon. We also kept an eye on Disney World restaurants and tracked every single menu change that happened.
The list of restaurants that remain closed in Disney World is growing slim!
Victoria & Albert’s Monogrammed Plates
We have seen buffets return, the return of character dining, and fan-favorite restaurants reopen. Back in March, we got the news that Victoria & Albert’s would be reopening in Disney World this year and ever since then, we have been waiting with bated breath to get an official opening date. And today is that day! Disney just announced a reopening date for Victoria & Albert’s!
Wow! What a month, y’all!
Oven-Roasted Shrimp Scampi
SO much happened in May: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind has officially opened in EPCOT. We had a ton of announcements come in from Star Wars Celebration. While all that was going on, we also kept an eye on every menu at Disney World restaurants so we could keep you updated on any changes.
Here are DFB, we love food. It’s kind of our thing, if you hadn’t guessed yet. (We’re sure you have.)
A Classic Mickey Pretzel
Naturally, we make it our business to try all the things in Disney World! And while there’s a lot of incredible food arriving in the parks every month, not everything is a huge hit. We’re here with the BEST (and the WORST) of May in Disney World, so check it out!
Disney World is starting to gear up for summer, and it’s time for us to prepare too!
While We’re Not Fans of the Heat, Summer is a Beautiful Time in Disney World!
Now is the time to grab your park passes before the summer months fill up — because they will! It’s also a great time to start mentally preparing for the summer wait times by checking how they look each week. But of course, we wouldn’t be DFB if we weren’t also getting you prepared for the new summer foods hitting Disney World! So, to fulfill our duty, we headed over to Disney’s Grand Floridian today to give one of their new summer treats a try!
What’s the best part of going to Disney World regularly? There is ALWAYS something new to eat!
Pepperoni Pizza Egg Roll
You know us — we are ALL about trying new snacks, new foods, and new drinks. Just this week, we tried Sweet Tea Fried Chicken, a brand new Bubble Waffle Sundae, a humongous pizza roll, and more! We’re always keeping a close eye on Disney World restaurant menus to see when new things arrive, but we look for other changes, too.
Here at DFB, we try A LOT of new food (it is in our name, after all!).
Orange Bird Mural
We recently tried a Berries and Cream Churro (don’t worry, we were confused too) in Disneyland, two new Starbucks items in Disney World, and some new menu items at Skipper Canteen in Magic Kingdom, and today, we’re trying a new treat!
There are a lot of ways to celebrate the mom in your life in Disney World right now!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
Disney Springs is hosting some limited-time offerings with photo-ops and a special mailbox to send your mom a note, and — one of our favorite ways to celebrate, you ask? Well, FOOD of course! And, Disney has A LOT of ’em! So far, we’ve tried a ROSE-SCENTED cupcake, a dessert trio, a donut LOADED with frosting, and more. And, now we’re headed to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa to try out a returning treat that features CHAMPAGNE!
