food IS a theme park
October was QUITE the month at Disney World. So much happened!
Lemon mousse from Space 220
In the past month alone, THREE new restaurants opened (Steakhouse 71, Space 220, and La Crêperie de Paris), the 50th anniversary snacks arrived, AND we were still seeing some Halloween snacks getting introduced. So we’ve got quite a few menu updates to share with you from October.
Raise your hand if you’re a big fan of Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort! This HEAVILY-themed (and discreetly concealed) bar has become VERY popular among Disney fans, and even more so since it reopened in July 2021.
Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto has a really inconspicuous entrance!
After it reopened, it even had a virtual queue for a while. However, now if you want to get in, you’ll need to head to Trader Sam’s to put your name on the walk-up waitlist. You’ll get a text when you can get in — IF you can get in, that is. So where do you go if you can’t get in but still want a similar experience? Today we’re sharing some places you should definitely check out if you’re a lover of Trader Sam’s!
Hello, DFB Friends!
We had dynamite for breakfast
We’re in that rare time of the year when Halloween is fading away and Christmas is taking over everything. We’ve already seen holiday decorations at Disney World, and we’ve even learned about some of the holiday snacks we can expect this year. But restaurant menus are also continuing to change at the resort, so we’re monitoring all that, too!
We are loving all the celebrations happening at Disney right now!
Fall in Disney Springs!
We’ve seen the park buzzing with new additions celebrating the 50th Anniversary, seasonal Halloween fun, and more. But now there’s even MORE for you to celebrate in Disney World as a special celebration honoring Hispanic Latinx Heritage Month kicks off!
Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar in Disney Springs is known for creative cocktails and delicious tapas! This place serves up unique dishes and fun drinks and there are plenty of fun Easter eggs to check out throughout the whole restaurant.
We’re at Jock Lindsey’s!
If you’re in the mood for something spooky and colorful, Jock Lindsey’s has you covered. Today, we stopped by to check out Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar’s newest boozy and bright Halloween offering!
Wow. Can you believe how fast this year has flown? And what a year it’s been! SO much has happened at Disney World since we rang in 2021.
Did someone say Mermaid Tail Slushy?
And while we’re enjoying a slew of hotel and restaurant reopenings, as well as enjoying all the amazing food at this year’s EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, we’re still keeping an eye on Disney World restaurants so you have all the latest information about dining at Disney World!
The new Jungle Cruise movie starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Emily Blunt officially comes out tomorrow in theaters and with premier access on Disney+!

To celebrate the occasion, one Disney World restaurant is adding several new items to their menu, each with a Jungle Cruise theme!
It might be the middle of the summer, but that doesn’t mean we can’t dream of the holidays!
Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Bar
LOTS of holiday happenings have been announced today like a NEW Holiday After Hours event and where you’ll be able to spot Santa this year! AND we’ve got good news for Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar fans… .
OK y’all, buckle up! There is a LOT of new stuff going on at Disney Springs this week!
Orange Bird Everywhere!
If you don’t usually hit up the Springs on your Disney World trip, you may want to reconsider this week, because we’ve seen super yummy new snacks with the Flavors of Florida event, new pins and magic bands, and the most crazy expensive necklace ever (after). (You’ll see why that’s funny in a sec… .)
Flavors of Florida has started in Disney Springs, which means it’s time to eat ALL kinds of limited time treats!
Time to Eat!
We’ve had gator bites, Orange Bird as chocolate, a Key Lime donut, and more. Next on our list is Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar, where there’s a special dish we think shrimp fans will love!
