food IS a theme park
We just celebrated May the 4th in Disney World with new merchandise, tasty treats, and some galactic surprises, but now there’s another holiday to celebrate!
Do you know what day it is?
It’s Cinco de Mayo! There’s not as much going on in Disney World for the holiday compared to Star Wars Day, but we DID find a new treat that we just had to try out — so let’s go!
Disney World certainly likes to keep us on our toes, and they recently surprised us with a couple of MAJOR soft openings in EPCOT. Connections Café opened unexpectedly, which is the new Starbucks location in EPCOT. When we first went go check it out, the Connections Eatery (which shares a space with the Café) wasn’t quite ready for guests yet. But now that has CHANGED!

Connections Eatery also had a soft opening with its full menu available for guests to try! Of course we had to head inside to check out the space and try some of the eats. Should you add this new spot to your EPCOT food tour? And can the eats even compete with the rest of the amazing food in this park? We’re about to find out! [Read more…]
As if today wasn’t exciting enough already with all of the food coming to EPCOT for Flower and Garden Festival, there are also 8 new spring treats debuting in Hollywood Studios!
Orange Blossom Shake at Hollywood Scoops
We’ve already tried out one of these sweet treats, so come along with us to check out another new dessert!
We eat a LOT of desserts in Disney World, but we’re not complaining — can you ever really have enough sweet treats?
How pretty, right?!
From Mickey Waffles to Dole Whips to cupcakes, we’re here to taste everything and let you know what the best items are and what you might wanna skip. And starting today, there are a bunch of NEW sweet treats at Hollywood Studios — let’s take a first look at all of them!
Have you ever been walking around Animal Kingdom and thought “I wish I had a comfy seat in the AC and a nice cocktail right about now?” If you have, you gotta head over to Nomad Lounge!
Nomad Lounge bar
Nomad Lounge is connected to Tiffins on Discovery Island (right before you walk down toward Pandora) and is a first come, first served bar and lounge. The inside has large lounge chairs and a big bar and the outside has a really nice deck in the shade where you can feel like you’re in an oasis. This is one of our favorite spots to chill, have a drink, and some snacks! They have some of the best churros in Disney, delicious drinks, and some fun limited time menu offerings. And, today is a good day, because there’s a NEW dessert over at Nomad Lounge, so come with us to check it out!
2022 has been a BIG year for Disney!
Toy Story Land
The Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser started accepting guests, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind opened in EPCOT, and we got many popular entertainment options back — that all happened in the first half of the year! On top of that, we’ll be getting yet ANOTHER new restaurant in 2022.
We’re eating our way around one of EPCOT’s prettiest festivals at this year’s Festival of the Arts.
The 2021 Festival of the Arts
We’ve already tried some delicious (and BEAUTIFUL) eats, but we’re not about to stop! The next Food Studio that we’re hitting is in the Italy pavilion — it’s L’Arte di Mangiare, which features (what else?) Italian cuisine. This booth didn’t exactly wow us last year, so let’s see if they’ve raised their game for 2022. [Read more…]
If you’re heading to Disney World, there are a whole bunch of NEW food items you’ll want to check out!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
Today, the Flavors of Florida event started in Disney Springs (where you’ll get the chance to grab some new items at a whole bunch of different spots), and the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival will be starting soon. But now Disney has shared details about some NEW dishes coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge!
Splitsville Luxury Lanes at Disney Springs has more than just bowling, they also have a wide assortment of food, like their new hand-rolled sushi and their new sushi platters!
Splitsville Luxury Lanes at Disney Springs!
With the opening of their new Bamboo Bar and the expansion of their menu, Splitsville is offering all sorts of new food options!
Lots of things are changing in Disney World!
There’s Even New Food at Some Classic Restaurants
Some things have returned to “normal” (like the return of self-serve drink stations in some locations), an After Hours Halloween event has been announced for this year, and temperature checks are set to be phased out. When it comes to food, some things are changing there too! Recently, 3 Disney World restaurants debuted new/revamped menus and other spots have slightly modified offerings. What places have new items for you to try? We’re breaking it down for you today!
