food IS a theme park
It’s no secret that we LOVE food at Disney World’s theme parks.
Spice Trade Candy Bar at Sanaa – YUM.
And we will never turn down a Dole Whip, Corn Dog Nuggets, or anything served with PLASTIC CHEESE (yes, it’s our weakness and we are not ashamed). But did you know some of the BEST meals and snacks are actually found OUTSIDE of the parks?
We are super fans of several of the restaurants at Disney Springs, including Homecomin’ by Chef Art Smith, The Polite Pig, and Wine Bar George.
Orlando International Airport
So, we already told you about plans to add a Wine Bar George location to Orlando International Airport. But those other two? Well, the people behind those restaurants are also opening locations in the airport!
It’s already April! Can you believe it?!
Disney World
April is a popular time to travel to Disney World because of Easter, and spring break is still in full swing! Well, if you’re one of those people planning to visit Disney World, we’ve got lots of good stuff to share with you today. These are the 5 best things to do in Disney World in April.
Walt Disney World is known for its magical sweet treats, from Dole Whip to cupcakes to Mickey Premium Bars.
Premium Mickey Ice Cream Bar at Disney World
Fortunately, you don’t have to try too hard to find most of those iconic eats! Even location-specific sweets like the caramel corn from Karamell-Küche at EPCOT or that fluffy cinnamon roll from Gaston’s Tavern in the Magic Kingdom just require a little wait in line or a few clicks on Mobile Order.
When we say Southern Fried Chicken + Disney Springs, you probably immediately think of…Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ of course!
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’
Well, you might have had your fair share of delicious drinks, tasty Cheddar Cheese Drop Biscuits, and Hummingbird Cake, but the next time you stop by Homecomin’ you could get something totally different — a job.
The fun thing about being a Disney fans in this day and age is that it’s so easy to stay in touch with other Disney fans and follow official Disney stuff on social media!
Mickey Mouse
Social media gives us a great way to find out about new Disney merchandise, the latest in Disney news, and get inside information about Disney!
Heads up, brunch fans (and that includes us)!
Brunch is the best meal of the day…
You know we love a good brunch option in Disney World. And Homecomin’ has just updated their hours, meaning we have even more time to brunch it up at this spot!
Try the gray stuff, it’s delicious! Seriously, though, gray gets a bad rap.
Grey Stuff Cupcake
Just because it’s not the prettiest color in the crayon box doesn’t mean it should be shunned! For proof, we tried a new GRAY cocktail in Disney World that even Lumière would approve of!
Well, it’s Thursday (aka FRIDAY EVE), which means it’s time for a trip to Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’! Frankly we’ll visit Homecomin’ on any day of the week that ends in a ‘y,’ but we were on a special mission today.
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’
In addition to the incredibly delicious comfort food you can find here, one of the huge draws to Homecomin’ is their moonshine menu! But did you know that you can mix their moonshine together to create fun and unique combos?
Walt Disney World reopened with limited capacities throughout every building on the property. All gift shops, restaurants, rides, and shows were reduced to accommodate physical distancing between travel groups.
Homecomin’
Upon reopening, Disney World had a reduced capacity of 25% and the theme parks attracted fewer crowds. It was recently announced that the theme parks were raised to 35% and we’ve seen an uptick in crowds over the holidays. Attractions are seeing increased wait times and Disney has been adjusting experiences to accommodate the lines. But what about restaurants? While Disney World hasn’t shared specifics, we have seen a quiet increase in capacity within the restaurants. So, what does dining at a Disney World restaurant look like now that the parks have been reopened for a few months?
