In round 1, you voted for Connections Cafe & Eatery over Sunshine Seasons. In round 2, you voted EVERY SINGLE EPCOT fast food spot out of the running. In round 3, you got it down to just FOUR restaurants. Round 4 gave us our top TWO fast food spots going into the finals, so which one will reign supreme? Let’s find out!
It’s always a little depressing when a beloved ride closes in Disney World — even if it’s just temporary!
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
Sometimes the closure is permanent, like Splash Mountain, which is getting re-themed to become Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Other times, ride closures are temporary due to technical issues. And sometimes, rides need to close to get some well-needed maintenance. That’s the case with a ride in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, which just reopened after a months-long closure.
It’s an exciting time to be a fan of The Little Mermaid.
Live-Action Ariel Meet-And-Greet
The new live-action The Little Mermaid movie is now playing in theaters, there’s a ton of NEW Ariel merchandise, AND the live-action version of Ariel is now meeting guests in Disney World. However, you might notice that there are TWO Ariel meet-and-greet experiences in Disney World, and the My Disney Experience app has changed how it lists these experiences.
You’re probably familiar with the holiday season in Disney World — but there’s another season that Disney fans dread.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is closed
It’s refurbishment season — when Disney World closes down a ride or experience here and there for routine maintenance or other updates. One iconic Hollywood Studios ride has been closed for quite a while, but that has all changed now because Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster has REOPENED in this park!
We found a few new treats around Disney World that are celebrating the release of The Little Mermaid live-action movie, and between all these new snacks and all the other new experiences popping up in the parks, we’ve been BUSY!
Cinderella Castle
We’ve been floundering around and hanging out with Ariel at her new meet and greet, catching the latest sneak peek of The Little Mermaid in Hollywood Studios, and trying out the latest PhotoPass filters, and now it’s time to take a snack break! [Read more…]
Well, we’ve been asking you, dear DFB readers, to vote on the BEST quick service restaurant in Disney World, and you have TURNED UP to share your opinions.
Totchos from Woody’s Lunch Box
In round 1, Ronto Roasters beat out its Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge counterpart, Docking Bay 7 Food & Cargo. In Round 2, you overwhelmingly chose Woody’s Lunch Box over Sleepy Hollow Refreshments in Magic Kingdom. Round 3 saw Casey’s Corner wipe the floor with Backlot Express. We’ve now got the semi-final round results, and we’ll admit, they are surprising!
We are BACK with more results from our latest DFB Bracket where we’re asking YOU to vote on your favorite fast food spots in Disney World.
Casey’s Corner spread
In Round 1, we saw Casey’s Corner TROUNCE Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe (sorry, Sonny Eclipse). Round 2 was just as exciting when Columbia Harbour House took out Connections Cafe and Eatery. Now, it’s time to look at the results from round 3 — and only four dining locations will be left standing!
Welcome back to the battle of the BEST Disney World quick-service restaurants!

Round 1 was intense, with Ronto Roasters beating Docking Bay 7, Woody’s Lunch Box winning over Satu’li Canteen, and Connections Eatery taking the top spot over the ol’ classic, Sunshine Seasons. How did your favorite spot do in Round 2? Let’s find out!
Picture this: you’re in your favorite Disney World park and have been running (okay, quickly and safely walking) from ride to ride so fast you haven’t had a chance to even think about stopping to eat.

But then, you remember that quick-service restaurants exist, so you try to figure out which one is the best at the park you’re in. Not all fast food spots are created equally in Disney World, and some are even better than table service spots — but how do you know which ones are winners? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
Parting is such sweet sorrow. Once again, Disney giveth, and Disney taketh away.
Hollywood Studios
You might remember a certain spork situation we experienced in both Disneyland and Disney World when Galaxy’s Edge first opened in each park. At one point, dishes at Docking Bay 7 were served with a futuristic-looking spork — until guests started stealing them and POOF! Gone. And now, we’re afraid, something similar has happened again.
