food IS a theme park
Y’all aren’t ready for this news. Seriously. You’re going to want to sit down.
Disneyland Resort
One of our favorite Disney meals just got updated in the BEST WAY POSSIBLE. [Read more…]
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again — the food in Disneyland is pretty dang good for a theme park!
Sleeping Beauty Castle
From some of our favorite classic Disney treats to the occasional more creative fare, chances are almost everyone can find something to dig into at the park. We recently revisited an iconic table service restaurant that rarely disappoints — but does it still hold up after all these years? Come indulge with us at Blue Bayou and find out!
Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebration continues, and it wouldn’t be a Disney celebration if there wasn’t a ton of FOOD, right?
Even Disney World’s popcorn got a 50th makeover!
Well, Disney has delivered with OVER 150 new eats and drinks around the parks and resorts. And, if that feels like an overwhelming number or you can’t fathom buying pants that are stretchy enough to make it through trying ALL of those snacks, we’ve got you covered! We’ve tried over 100 of these snacks and we’ve boiled it down (or at least tried) to the top 10 that we think you should try when you visit!
Disneyland is the home of the iconic, the legendary, and the supreme Monte Cristo Sandwich. Disney World has tried (and somewhat failed) a few times to live up to its famed cheesy, greasy, and delicious reputation — though admittedly they came pretty darn close with Plaza Restaurant’s Monte Cristo for the 50th Anniversary Celebration.
*Drools*
There are a couple of places you’ll find the Monte Cristo Sandwich at Disneyland: most famously at Cafe Orleans in New Orleans Square, as well as its dimly lit next-door neighbor, Blue Bayou Restaurant.
2021 has come to a close, and it’s time to take a look back down memory lane (for better or for worse) and some of the food and drink items we tried at Disney World over the past year. We’re in the parks every day trying the latest dining offerings (while also re-visiting restaurants throughout the year!), so we’ve experienced the full range of what the parks and resorts have had to offer.
Magic Kingdom
Today, we’re sharing with you our “hall of fame” when it comes to the best as well as the worst things we tried in Disney World this year! If you’ve followed along with our monthly installments, then you may recognize a few of these selections! Let’s waste no time and dive right into what stood out to our team the most in 2021 (in no particular order!).
Another month has come and gone in Disney World! Can you believe we’re only two months away from 2022? Seriously…where has 2021 gone?! Before we can dive headfirst into the holiday season (we’ve already made our holiday season treats list and checked it twice!), we have to revisit our top and bottom picks for the food and drink items we tried in the month of October!
Cinderella Castle
This month, to no one’s surprise, is chock-full of treats from the 50th Anniversary Celebration. Let’s revisit the menu items we would gladly try again and again, as well as those items we would rather not remember.
We’re eating our way around Disney World this week as a whopping 150 new food and drink items arrive just in time for the official start of the 50th Anniversary Celebration!
The Plaza Restaurant
One of the restaurants that got a LOT of love and attention from Disney World when it comes to special 50th Anniversary treats is The Plaza Restaurant in Magic Kingdom. After all, what we know today as The Plaza Restaurant was an opening day dining spot at Disney World back in 1971, so it totally should get its own special recognition!
Disneyland reopened in late April, but not EVERY restaurant opened with the parks. Now, Blue Bayou Restaurant has REOPENED inside Disneyland’s New Orleans Square!
Blue Bayou!
If you’re a frequent diner at Blue Bayou: one, lucky you! Two, the reopened restaurant looks a little different. There are additional health and safety measures as well as a major menu update: ALCOHOL! This has NEVER been allowed here before, so we were pretty excited to see what having a drink on the bayou would be like. Let’s check it out!
We’re covering a LOT of changes in Disneyland right now as we explore the park for the first time in over a year!
So pretty… sigh
We’ve been reporting LIVE from the park today. Now, we’re bringing you some Disneyland food news that might not be the best thing you hear today. You may need to sit down for this one.
Hey there friends, we’re LIVE from A Touch of Disney at Disney California Adventure Park!
Smokejumpers Grill
This hard-ticketed event features tons of food options from around Disneyland Resort, exclusive perks for Legacy Passholders, ADORABLE character interactions, and MUCH more! We’re tasting LOTS of different items all over the park (including WINGS from Trader Sam’s). And now, we’re heading over to Smokejumpers Grill to get a Disneyland classic and 2 NEW items!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
