food IS a theme park
There’s a new restaurant in town located not too far from Disney World property! While there have been several new restaurants opening up at Disney World like Space 220, Steakhouse 71, and La Crêperie de Paris, we’re also curious to hear about the neighboring resort areas offering new dining options for visitors.

If your next trip to Disney World includes a stay at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress, you’ll want to check out this new dining spot.
If you’re staying off-property on your next Disney World vacation or you have the flexibility to venture beyond the resort’s perimeter, there’s an entire world of dining options at your fingertips! We’ve been checking out some of the newer dining options to open off-property, including the brand-new White Castle!
Let’s Go!
Today, we stopped by Portillo’s, the Chicago-style, rock ‘n’ roll-themed diner at the intersection of Palm Parkway and Daryl Carter Blvd. The restaurant is celebrating its grand opening, so we thought we would take part in the celebration and share our thoughts!
We may be ALL about the eats at Disney World, but sometimes we venture off-property, too!
J.W. Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort and Spa
Last year, the JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort & Spa opened up just minutes away from Disney World. But while the hotel has been up and runnin’ for almost a year, its rooftop bar, illume, has yet to make its big debut. That opens on May 27th — and we were able to stop by yesterday for a little preview!
Have you ever been in the mood for a cheesy, fast-food-style slider? Well, then you might’ve run to your nearest White Castle if you have one near where you live! For those of us down in Florida, White Castle is a NEW option!
White Castle
We’ve got a little bit of a different review today as we head OFF Disney property to an exciting nearby spot — the brand new White Castle near Disney World! This fast-food chain opened the world’s lARGEST location just minutes outside of Disney World and we stopped in to see the new spot and try out some of their famous hamburgers.
After months of anticipation, White Castle finally opened yesterday!

In 2019, the burger chain announced that its first Florida chain in 50 years was opening near Disney World! We’ve been following the construction closely — and we even got a first look inside! And now, we’ve got BIG news about exactly how opening day went.
Here at DFB, we’re constantly talking about all the new restaurants coming to Disney World!
We’re here!!!
We’re speculating about places like Roundup Rodeo BBQ and Space 220 (will it EVER open?!) and we’re anxiously awaiting October 1st so we can dine at La Creperie de Paris in EPCOT. However, there are several off-property restaurants coming soon that we’re excited to check out, and today we got to do just that!
We’ve seen a LOT of new things coming to Orlando recently, specifically in the realm of food.

We’re gearing up for the opening of the world’s largest White Castle, along with the appearance of Portillo’s near the parks. On top of that, Gordon Ramsey announced that he will soon be opening a restaurant in Icon Park. Then today, we learned that a new bowling and restaurant chain is coming to the area, all the way from Chicago!
