food IS a theme park
Since the reopening of Trail’s End Restaurant, it’s had us thinking… a lot.
NEW EATS at Trail’s End!
We know there are so many places to get good food around Disney World and that you really want to make sure you’re getting the best value for your money (and a full belly). So how did a standard Disney World side item here compare to other places we’ve seen it? [Read more…]
Sure. You can get chicken tenders, mac & cheese, and fun sauces outside of the Most Magical Place on Earth. But…have you ever gotten them like THIS?! If you haven’t, then you’re making a BIG mistake. Don’t worry — we’re about to tell you how to fix it.
YES. YES. YES.
You might already know that some of the best table service restaurants can be found in Disney Springs, but did you know that there’s also some great fast food available there as well? Right now we’re taking you on a trip with us to a counter service restaurant that was created by a celebrity chef and we’re going to show you why it might be worth it to opt for chicken tenders and mac & cheese over some of Disney Springs’ fancier eats!

EPCOT is known for having a LOT of delicious food. The countries around World Showcase each have some tasty dishes inspired by authentic cuisine from those cultures. Or you can visit during a festival (like the upcoming International Festival of the Arts) to find even more options at festival booths around the park.
EPCOT’s World Showcase has some very delicious food
With so many different options available, is it worth it to have a sit-down meal at a restaurant with a much less exotic menu? What if we told you that Mickey would be there? And that the entire restaurant is actually spinning? We’re visiting Garden Grill today to see if this spot is worth a visit in the best Disney World park for food. [Read more…]
Did you know that Mac ‘N Cheese Day is NEXT WEEK?
City Works Eatery and Pour House
Yup, July 14th is nationally dedicated to the beloved, cheesy dish that is mac ‘n cheese and as part of an early celebration, we headed to City Works Eatery & Pour House in Disney Springs! City Works invited us to go BEHIND THE SCENES of their mega-popular Mac ‘n Cheese and we’re taking you with us!
EPCOT is full of AMAZING food like decadent ice cream sandwiches and delicious fish and chips.
Oh Canada!
While we love visiting EPCOT’s (mostly year-round) festival booths to eat around the world, sometimes we need a more substantial meal! The quick service locations are great if you don’t want to have a long, leisurely meal, but the table service restaurants are SO worth a couple hours of your time! One of our favorites is Le Cellier Steakhouse in good ol’ Canada, and we recently stopped in to see if it still met our expectations!
Loaded mac ‘n’ cheese? Yes, please!!
Smokejumpers Grill
It’s a well-known fact that we LOVE anything with cheese, and we especially enjoy a good bowl o’ mac (give us all the carbs, all the time!). When we found out that Signature Mac ‘n’ Cheese has made its way onto the Smokejumpers Grill menu, we couldn’t wait to tell you about it!
It’s time to head to Flavortown with another visit to Guy Fieri-helmed Chicken Guy! in Disney Springs. This quick service spot arrived on the scene last August, and we thought it was great and affordably-priced.
But honestly, over the past year it’s become a must-do for me on my Disney trips. I can’t stay away!
Chicken Guy!
I love just about everything here — sandwiches, tenders, fries, mac and cheese, sauces…
Buffalo Sauce!
OK, I’m particularly drawn to the sauces…as you can see. But don’t worry: you can get more than Buffalo. I just don’t.
With so many new (and not-so-new, but still greatly loved) dining experiences in Disney Springs, it can be tough to decide where to make your precious Advance Dining Reservations.
So on a recent visit to Disney Springs, I checked out Paddlefish — this time in the dining room (as opposed to the top deck bar) to get an overview of some of the menu’s most popular items. And while most of it was good, some of it was great (and one item — spoiler alert! — was just bad).
Paddlefish is a brand new restaurant in an old, established building. You’ll recall that Fulton’s Crab House used to reside here, in the docked, multi-storied Empress Lily on Lake Buena Vista; and actually this spot has been a restaurant since 1977. When Paddlefish opened, guests were greeted with a combination of old and new. Neutral and trendy gray paint gave the restaurant a streamlined look, but some details of old remained, like brass railings and the fabulous sternwheel.
So what do you say? Shall we paddle in?
Paddlefish
The first floor bar at Paddlefish is a beautiful space, with its curved, recessed ceiling, wall of windows, and various seating arrangements. Definitely a comfortable place to grab a drink or two! [Read more…]
I have to say, I LOVE my Earl of Sandwich email updates. And when I got this one, my family and I headed over for dinner that very night!
For a limited time (I’m not sure how limited) Earl of Sandwich is offering 4 new menu items: The BBQ Chicken Sandwich, a Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich, Bacon Mac n’ Cheese, and Brownie Bark.
These items are currently available in Disney World AND Disneyland, and I’m happy to say that I was able to try out all 4 items and I’m here to report back!
I ordered the BBQ Chicken Sandwich on white bread and thought it was delicious. I almost never ever stray from my favorite, the Holiday Turkey. While this is on the menu though, I might just have to switch back and forth on alternating visits.
BBQ Chicken Sandwich
The sandwich is full of chicken smothered in sweet BBQ sauce. It also has red onions, which were not at all overpowering. I normally ask for no or “easy” onions, but I totally forgot when I ordered, and the amount on the sandwich didn’t bother me at all.
Topped with cheddar cheese and a sprinkle of cilantro, I’d love it if this sandwich made its way permanently to the menu.

My husband went with the Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich. After trying mine, we both realized that the BBQ Chicken was [Read more…]
