food IS a theme park
Your Highway in the Sky…
Monorail in the Contemporary Resort
… has received a tribute via CUPCAKE at Contempo Cafe in Disney’s Contemporary Resort! Check out the Monorail Cupcake!
Recently, I stopped by Disney Springs on a little gift-buying errand. While the item I was after was located at the World of Disney store, I popped in the Marketplace Co-op to see what was new (or, rather, new to me, since it had been some time since my last visit).

Who doesn’t love a trip around the Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom Resorts on the Monorail?
I know I do. And now there’s a new extra ticket dining event you can add to your trip on the Highway in the Sky… the Highway in the Sky Dine Around!
The Wave Entrance
Your evening begins by checking in at The Wave… of American Flavors at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, accompanied with a welcome appetizer and specialty cocktail.
Next stop? Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort for island-inspired spirits and appetizers! [Read more…]
The Contempo Cafe has consistently been one of my favorite spots for better-than-average counter service meals.

It had been a while since I’d enjoyed a meal here, and since that last visit, they’d added a Lobster Roll that was getting rave reviews from readers!
Recently, on a very quick visit to the World, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to check out all that’s new at the Contempo — and to see if I still consider it a must-do stop.
If you’re unfamiliar with the Contempo Cafe, well, you’ve probably seen it before, and you just didn’t know it! It occupies primo Disney real estate right next to Chef Mickey’s on the Grand Canyon Concourse in Disney’s Contemporary Hotel.

For those that weren’t aware, the Transportation and Ticket Center has added one of our favorite new little coffee kiosks. (Like the one over by the Epcot monorail station.)

Now, when are they going to put coffee stations on the buses…? 😉 Here’s one of the menu signs for the kiosk. The other menu sign photo [Read more…]
Yowza!! Thanks to Amanda Tinney, who writes Disney Every Day, for sending along these photos of the brand new snack and coffee stand outside of Epcot.
New Epcot Snack Stand and Coffee Kiosk
This is located next to the monorail station outside of the main entrance of Future World. I love the EPCOT Center-esque fonts and [Read more…]
