food IS a theme park
If you’re hungry, go to the Disney Parks RIGHT NOW!
EPCOT
Why? Because there is a TON of new food to be found! With the brand-new San Fransokyo dining options in Disney California Adventure, the Food & Wine Festival at EPCOT, and the Halloween snacks on both coasts, the parks are a foodie’s paradise. And coming soon, Disney will be celebrating Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month with 54 more new offerings!
We know we’re telling you about all the changes that happen in Disney World ALL the time, but nothing changes more than the FOOD in Disney World.
Spooky Dole Whip Sampler
But, hey, that’s exciting, right? We even got to try CHEESE in ice cream recently, thanks to some new flavors at Salt & Straw (and we are forever grateful). Of course, we’re starting to see even MORE spooky treats pop up in Disney World for Halloween season — and we’ll tell you all about those, too. But now, we’re going to talk about restaurant menu updates because we had quite a few that happened this week.
When it comes to dining in Magic Kingdom, things are…complicated.
Welcome to Disney World!
Several of the quick service restaurant options leave much to be desired, and even a few of the table service restaurants are controversial. (People have certainly shared strong opinions about the prices at Cinderella’s Royal Table and Be Our Guest Restaurant in the past!) But one spot that tends to be a pretty good crowd-pleaser has recently added some new menu items, and I stopped by to try them out!
It’s been a HUGE week for food in Disney World.
The Starbucks fall menu is here!
First, we have to talk about ALL THE NEW FALL Starbucks drinks that arrived this week (and we’ll get to that). We also visited Casey’s Corner, one of our fave counter service restaurants, and ate EVERYTHING there. We also ate a hotdog with a boozy shake (#sorrynotsorry). In the meantime, though, Disney World restaurant menus were changing, so let’s see what’s been updated!
We keep an eye on ALL food-related news in Disney World.
EPCOT’s Mexico Pavilion
We love to keep an eye out for new snacks so we can share our thoughts on all the best new treats. We also check out EVERYTHING at EPCOT’s festivals to make sure we can recommend ONLY the best items. We also keep an eye on menu updates at Disney World, and sometimes, we spot price increases. Well, we’ve got some price increases to tell you about for TWO restaurants at a popular EPCOT World Showcase Pavilion.
Well, it’s been quite a ride, hasn’t it?
New Orleans Square
We got ALL kinds of updates about Tiana’s Palace Restaurant in Disneyland, including a first look INSIDE the restaurant, the restaurant’s menu, Cast Member outfits, and more. But here’s the thing, two MORE restaurants in the area will also be getting some updates! Say what?
Things are always changing in Disney World.
Big CHANGES are happening at a Magic Kingdom restaurant
Rides come and rides go. There’s always SOME kind of construction going on (especially at EPCOT these days). Shops close and new restaurants are announced. Disney World restaurant menus also often change, and we’ve got some BIG changes to report at a restaurant in Magic Kingdom.
It’s been a VERY exciting week in Disney World when it comes to food.
Sushi
A brand new restaurant surprised us and opened early in EPCOT (and we ate a $300 sushi boat with ZERO regrets). The way you book dining on the Disney World website and My Disney Experience app has changed (and we think, it’s for the better). More EPCOT Food and Wine food booths opened, too! PLUS we saw some updates on Disney World restaurant menus, so let’s talk about those.
When it comes to food (and everything else), something is ALWAYS changing in Disney World.
Japan Pavilion in EPCOT
We’re always seeing favorite foods go away. But we’re also seeing new foods turning up on menus. We also get some great seasonal snacks. What we’re trying to say is that menu changes are going to happen. Sometimes those changes mean price increases, though, and one EPCOT restaurant saw plenty of that this week.
Y’all, we have seen a lot of food,eaten a lot of food, and taken a lot of photos of food this week.
Candy Corn Milkshake
Why? Because Halloween snacks have arrived PLUS we went to the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Magic Kingdom and we ate ALL the party-exclusive snacks there, too. SO much food. But we’re back with MORE food news, this time to tell you about changes happening at Disney World restaurants.
