food IS a theme park
Let’s face it — when it comes to Disney World, you’re pretty much living on Disney World time.
How late is Trader Sam’s open?
That means you’re subject to Disney World’s schedule, meaning that you probably aren’t going to make any 2AM snack runs to 7-Eleven like you might do at home when you can’t sleep and you want some food. But there are SOME late-night dining options available at Disney World, maybe even more than you think.
Wow — is it just us or did May just fly by? And it’s officially summer at Disney World — how did that even happen?
Watermelon Dole Whip IN a Watermelon
Of course, we’re ready for it (save for maybe the Florida heat and humidity), and we’re looking forward to all the great summer foods we’ll be eating over the next few months. May saw some pretty interesting snacks, though, including a secret menu Watermelon Dole Whipception snack, A Donut Burger, and Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls! And we also saw some menu updates at Disney World restaurants, so we’re going to get to those right now!
It’s been a fun week at Disney World.

And as usual, we’ve been busy trying out all the fun snacks, including Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls, a gelato burger, and a groovy 70’s cocktail. But we’ve kept our eye on menu updates at restaurants, and although there aren’t many this week, these are some changes we think you’ll want to know about.
We’re suckers for a new Disney snack…especially a SECRET Disney snack!
Marketplace Snacks
It can be pretty tricky to hunt down secret menus in Disney World, but they have some of the most interesting snacks on them! Earlier this year, we found a secret menu hot dog that was, well, a little insane. Now, Disney Springs is at it again with a new (and much cuter) SECRET ITEM!
It’s baaaack! The Watermelon Dole Whip has officially returned to Marketplace Snacks in Disney Springs!

Just a few months ago, we tried the Minnie Dole Whip Watermelon Cup (which had a bit of an identity crisis…) and we snagged a cup FULL of watermelon Dole Whip on its own, but now this special Dole Whip flavor is back and in a new parfait form. Is this new creation a Dole Whip must-have or a total pass? We’re bringing you all our thoughts right here!
We’re back in Disney Springs!

And we’ve got LOTS of food updates for ya, plus some other happenings from last week. So let’s dive in!
Just a few months ago, we were wondering what it would take to get watermelon DOLE whip in Disney World, and then BAM! Our wish was granted!
Watermelon Dole Whip!
We’ve already tried the secret menu Minnie Dole Whip Watermelon Cup (which didn’t exactly taste like watermelon to us…) and we grabbed a cup FULL of watermelon dole whip on its own earlier this year. But now the snack will be coming BACK in a special way!
Okay, so y’all know we are ALL about some Dole Whips at Disney World, right? There’s a reason this classic snack has been around as long as it has, after all!

BUT…we’ve found that there’s so much MORE to Dole Whip life than the classic Pineapple Soft Serve most Disney World guests usually get. In fact, we’ve unlocked a whole world of Dole Whip flavor combos that might even make you forget about just having the classic pineapple. And now, we’re sharing some of our favorites with you!
When you think of Dole Whip in Disney World, you probably picture Magic Kingdom. Right?
Dole Whip!
After all, what’s better than walking around Adventureland with that pineapple soft serve swirl in hand? Well, it actually can be better. You just might not realize it yet. Dole Whip is a park STAPLE — trust us, we get it! But you’ll have to head OUTSIDE of the parks for some more unique creations. If you’re craving Dole Whip but don’t want to settle for an ordinary soft-serve, float, or (gasp!) pineapple flavor, go for one of these options instead.
Mother’s Day is this Sunday! To celebrate, Disney World has rolled out a series of delicious treats for us all to enjoy!
Disney Springs
Already, we’ve snacked on the Mimosa Miniature Gâteau and even a Mother’s Day Cupcake. (Okay, make that more than one Mother’s Day Cupcakes…) Today, we’re heading to Marketplace Snacks at Disney Springs to try the latest Mother’s Day-themed dessert!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
