food IS a theme park
If the humidity and crowds at the parks haven’t told you yet, it’s summer at Disney World.
Disney Springs
We are looking forward to a lot of things this summer at Disney World like the start of EPCOT’s International Food and Wine Festival, which starts July 27th. But that’s not the only festival to enjoy this summer in Disney World. We now have NEW details on an event that is happening at Disney Springs soon and you’re going to want to make sure you know these info when planning your visit!
Who doesn’t love exploring Disney Springs?
Disney Springs
There are so many different restaurants to eat at and so many things to do (many of which you likely have never heard about before). Some of our favorite times in Disney Springs come when there’s a holiday or celebration happening. And that’s exactly why you NEED to visit this restaurant later this week.
Disney Springs has so much to offer guests who are visiting Disney World.
Disney Springs
Some of our favorite restaurants can be found at Disney Springs! Not to mention all shops, entertainment, a movie theater, and even a bowling alley!. This summer, you’re gonna want to pencil Friday nights in at Disney Springs — here’s why.
We’ve had a LOT of Disney food news to take in this week.
Jaleo
From the closing of Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser to the big employee move to Florida being canceled, Disney has experienced a busy week. But we’re still also visiting the parks every day and keeping an eye out for new food, as well as seeing if any restaurant menus have changed. So let’s get to those menu updates, shall we?
We’ve seen stores close in Disney Springs, old character meet-and-greet locations return to the parks, and new restaurants open — sometimes it feels like EVERYTHING is changing in Disney World.
Disney Springs
For example, a LOT has changed at EPCOT as it continues to undergo a massive multi-year transformation. In fact, there’s construction all over the park! Even one classic ride in the Magic Kingdom has closed to be re-themed as a brand new ride. Disney World restaurants are changing, too, including one Disney Springs restaurant that just revealed a brand-new menu!
If you’re looking for a delicious meal on your Disney vacation, Disney Springs has tons of great options.
Pepe
We were recently invited to a media event at Pepe by José Andrés, a quick-service restaurant next door to the Chef’s signature restaurant, Jaleo — and we really enjoyed how fresh and tasty everything was! Sandwiches are the feature here, and boy do they make them well. Their #1 seller, the Pepito De Ternera, is a savory delight made with ribeye steak, cheese, and caramelized onions that really impressed us. Can’t make it to Disney Springs soon to try this dish? Don’t worry, we have the recipe!
There are so many great food options to try in Disney Springs, it might be challenging to decide which one to choose!
Pepe by Chef José Andrés
Whether you’re looking for a comforting Southern brunch or an upscale pan-Asian dinner, you will not be starved for choice at Disney Springs. If you’re in the mood for some delicious Spanish cuisine, Jaleo by Chef José Andrés features a delightful menu of tapas in a table service restaurant. But did you know they also have a counter service location right next door? You can enjoy Pepe by José Andrés by dining in or taking it with you on the go. We were recently invited to a media event to try some of their new and favorite menu items, so come see what we thought!
We keep up with ALL the latest Disney food news because…well, that’s our job!
Disney Springs
We’re seeing lots of new treats this time of year to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day and Women’s History Month, and we’ve tried a whole bunch of those eats. We also just got the news that a restaurant in Disney Springs is getting some NEW menu items for this month!
A meal at Disney World is MORE than just your standard entrée and side dish. So let’s start looking at some of the best restaurants on Disney property for dinner, that capstone meal of the day!
Pasta at Cinderella’s Royal Table
We’ve already addressed some of the best spots to grab breakfast during your Disney trip. And breakfast gets a lot of attention for being “the most important meal of the day” (those breakfast marketing agents really did lunch and dinner dirty with that slogan), but dinner is important, too! Cue the Norman Rockwell images of the family around the dinner table…
There are a TON of fun dining experiences in Disney World!
Disney Springs
You can watch fireworks from the top of Disney’s Contemporary Resort at California Grill, eat a meal with a bunch of courses at Victoria and Albert’s, or even dine next to a giant aquarium. One of the best spots to find delicious food is over at Disney Springs, and now, there’s another super cool dining experience coming soon!
