food IS a theme park
Here at DFB, we love enjoying a Disney meal.
Goofy is such a goof!
But what makes a Disney meal even better? Our favorite characters, of course! Recently, we got to see the princesses return to Cinderella’s Royal Table and the buffet return to Chef Mickey’s. Now, we’ve got another character meal change to share with you — and we’re headed to Disney’s Hollywood Studios this time.
Can you believe that in a matter of months, it’ll be spring?
Hollywood & Vine
Springtime brings larger crowds to Disney World because of spring break, and we often see new eats arriving at the parks as well. That’s the case at Hollywood & Vine, which is a restaurant in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This spot hosts Minnie’s Seasonal Dine for lunch and dinner, which changes throughout the seasons and brings characters like Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, and more to dine with you. Now we’ve got dates for when Springtime Dine and Summertime dine will return this year!
Only a Disney vacation offers meals with this much character. Â Take in a meal and rub elbows with some Hollywood stars and even royalty!

We do our absolute best to keep you updated on all the menu changes, best snacks, and reviews throughout the parks so you can be as well prepared for your trip as possible. But even after doing all that preparation, making that decision may be difficult. So we thought we’d make it a little bit easier, and give you our best Hollywood Studios breakfast recommendations all in one post, so you’re ready for the first meal of the day!
If you haven’t been paying close attention to the latest Disney news, you’ve got a LOT to catch up on!
Headed to Disney World?
From restaurant changes and new menu offerings to a Disney version of Amazon Prime (?!) there’s a lot for us to go over. So sit back, grab your favorite drink, and let’s catch up on all the latest Disney news together.
Character dining experiences are one of the best ways to meet characters in Disney World. First, you’re guaranteed to see certain characters while you’re there, and the interactions can be longer than what you might get at a regular meet and greet.

Two, you get characters AND food, and what’s a better combination than that? Many character dining experiences switched to family-style dining after Disney World reopened, but a lot of them are returning as buffets. Hollywood & Vine in Disney’s Hollywood Studios reopened with family-style dining, but now we’re taking you with us to see if buffet dining has changed anything at this spot!
It’s back — it’s really back!
Hollywood & Vine
We’ve had a lot to celebrate recently, thanks to the return of traditional character meet-and-greets, character dining, Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, and more. And now, over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we’re celebrating the return of buffets at Hollywood & Vine!
Disney World is constantly changing.
Cinderella Castle
The resort has the potential to look different each time you visit, thanks to new merchandise, seasonal décor, festivals, special events, reopenings, and more! And honestly, it can be pretty difficult to keep up with all of the changes. But don’t worry — we’ll do the work for you! Prepare for all of the newest changes hitting Disney World by checking out the 6 things that will be different in August!
July is over, and you know what that means!!!
We do love that school bread
It means it’s time for SPOOKY SEASON. Yes, Halloween season will begin soon at Disney World and the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween party in TWO YEARS is coming up soon! We can’t wait to check out all the fun Halloween merchandise and eat all those Halloween snacks. But in the meantime, let’s do a bit of a retrospective of July to check out ALL the menu updates we saw at Disney World.
What’s your favorite thing to eat at a Disney World restaurant?
Fritz Freeze
Is it something that’s still on the menu, or has it disappeared with no hope of potentially ever seeing it again (we see you Monte Cristo and Fuzzy Tauntaun)? Is it a classic snack like Dole Whip or something newer like the Wookiee Cookie? All we know is that Disney World restaurant menus are constantly changing, and we do our best to keep up with it.
