food IS a theme park
Well, it has certainly been a busy Disney World week.
Melty the Snowman
For starters, we learned that one of our favorite quick service spots in Disney Springs has changed (and we’re still shocked). But, hey, we did get to eat THREE holiday donuts and drink some Monorail-themed coffee. We also noticed some changes on some Disney World restaurant menus we need to tell you about.
The Thanksgiving weekend crowds have left Disney World, and we’re now heading into the holidays!
Christmas tree made of ham and cheese — OH YEAH
Granted, the holidays started WELL before Thanksgiving in Disney World, but you know what we mean! So let’s talk about food. Now, we’re a little disappointed that Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs won’t be opening in Disney World until 2024. But the hot chocolate flight we recently had made us feel better. Now, though, let’s look at restaurant menu changes in Disney World, because those are ALWAYS happening, no matter what.
When it comes to Disney food, it’s been a VERY busy week.
Horchata Cold Brew
Although we didn’t find much in the way of Thanksgiving food in the parks, we did get to enjoy the first day of the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays where we feasted on cookies, funnel cake, churros, and more. During all that time, though, we were keeping a close eye on menus at Disney World restaurants and noticed some changes.
Well, it’s been another week in Disney World and a lot has happened in food news.
Peppermint Igloo
We got some confirmation about food booths for the 2024 EPCOT Festival of the Arts (which is really not that far away!). We ate Skittles Fudge…for science. We dropped some serious cash at Morimoto Asia in Disney Springs (no regrets!). Plus restaurant menus in Disney World changed this week, too — let’s find out how.
Well, it has certainly been a week, hasn’t it?
Peppermint Snowman at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
Disney just had its Q4 2023 Earnings Call and we learned a LOT about how the company is doing financially. We also attended the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Disney World and reviewed a LOT of snacks. We’ve also visited some of the gingerbread displays at Disney World hotels! However, let’s talk about Disney World restaurants. We’ve seen some changes at some restaurants, so let’s see what’s been updated!
Well, we’ve gone from Halloween to the holidays this week in Disney World — and we are here for it!
Ahi Tuna Poke
Now we know more about the snacks coming to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (our tummies are READY!), as well as everything we’ll get to eat at the holiday pop-up shops with the hotel gingerbread displays. We’ve been keeping an eye on Disney World restaurant menus, too, and we’ve got some changes to tell you about this week.
Things are changing ALL the time in Disney World.
Disney Springs
For example, Magic Kingdom just went from Halloween to Christmas in just ONE night. Of course, some changes aren’t quite as sudden — the EPCOT transformation, which has taken YEARS, is finally going to be done at the end of this year. Disney World restaurants are changing all the time, too, and two popular restaurants just recently added some new foods (and they sound GOOD).
Don’t count on a Disney World restaurant to have the same menu as the last time you visited.
Burger from Paddock Grill
Why? That’s because Disney World is always changing up menus, adding seasonal foods, and changing prices. For example, the Fantasmic! dining package just went up in price. But that’s not the only big change we had this week in the world of Disney dining: some restaurants also just changed their menus.
We’ve got some good news this week.
NEW Cinnamon Cookie Popcorn
We know y’all were overwhelmed with all the food price increases Disney World had last week, but this week, we don’t have as many changes. We also saw signs that a NEW Disney Springs restaurant is closer to opening soon. There’s also TONS of new snacks to check out right now. Now, there WERE a FEW restaurant menu changes this week, so let’s take a look at those.
Anything interesting happen this week in Disney World?
The creamiest mac and cheese!
Okay, yes, we kid, because we know just how much news came in with all the price increases for everything from fireworks dessert parties to parking to Annual Passes and more. We also had a lot of food price increases, too, but believe it or not, we’ve got even MORE menu updates to share with you from the week.
