food IS a theme park
Happy Halloween, y’all! Yes, it’s officially Halloween season in Disney World.
Cannoli from BoardWalk Deli
We’ve already been diving into all of the delicious Halloween treats, checking out some pumpkin coffee flavors, and eating ALL kinds of stuff at the new BoardWalk Deli, which has officially opened! And we’ve been keeping an eye on Disney World restaurants to see what’s been changed or updated.
If you’re anything like us, when you need a frozen treat in Disney World, you fast-walk (safety first, treats second) to your nearest Dole Whip location.
Orange Bird Dole Whip Cone
Fortunately, that isn’t a difficult task, as Disney World has tons of places that offer Dole Whip creations — Aloha Isle, Storybook Treats, Sunshine Tree Terrace, Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies, Refreshment Outpost, Tamu Tamu, Swirls on the Water…the list goes on and on. And, in celebration of Dole Whip Day (July 21st), Disney World is offering even more creative Dole Whip treats all around the resort. So today, we tried one at Disney’s Old Key West Resort…but it’s only for adults!
It was a BUSY month, y’all!
Cinderella Castle’s 50th anniversary makeover is so pretty
We’ve been gearing up for some fun on the Disney Wish, but with June being Pride month in Disney World, we ate a lot of Pride Cake, rainbow cupcakes, and even a rainbow waffle. We also tracked a LOT of menu updates throughout the month, so grab a seat, and we’ll get started!
Change is inevitable, even in Disney World.
Cheese and fries at Backlot Express!
Over the past two years, we’ve seen a LOT of change: we’ve experienced new rides, we’ve eaten a lot of new foods (the kind of change we’re total fans of), and we’ve watched supply issues cause problems across the resort. We’ve also seen price increases on merchandise and at restaurants, and there’s been more of that this week, so let’s get on with the restaurant menu updates!
Disney World is constantly changing, and the same can be said for Disney World dining.
The Pineapple Upside-Down Cake with Dole Whip!
We’re seeing new and returning snacks pop up almost every day. Just this week alone, we were reunited with our much-loved Dole Whip-Topped Pineapple Upside-Down Cake, ate a refreshing new Greek Salad (see? we DO eat healthy sometimes), and started thinking ahead to the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival that starts soon. We also kept an eye on Disney World restaurants and tracked every single menu change that happened.
Wow! What a month, y’all!
Oven-Roasted Shrimp Scampi
SO much happened in May: Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind has officially opened in EPCOT. We had a ton of announcements come in from Star Wars Celebration. While all that was going on, we also kept an eye on every menu at Disney World restaurants so we could keep you updated on any changes.
What’s the best part of going to Disney World regularly? There is ALWAYS something new to eat!
Pepperoni Pizza Egg Roll
You know us — we are ALL about trying new snacks, new foods, and new drinks. Just this week, we tried Sweet Tea Fried Chicken, a brand new Bubble Waffle Sundae, a humongous pizza roll, and more! We’re always keeping a close eye on Disney World restaurant menus to see when new things arrive, but we look for other changes, too.
What a week, right?
There’s a new drink at Starbucks!
We’re still riding on the high of riding Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic rewind last week, getting updates on TRON Lightcycle Run testing, and drooling over the new Mexico ears over in EPCOT. But don’t worry because we’re still keeping a close eye on Disney World restaurant menus, and we’ve got all the updates for the week right here!
So just how much has changed at Disney World in a month?
There are a few new menu items at Backlot Express!
Well, spring break crowds have arrived, there’s a brand new Disney x Coach collection, the Festival of Fantasy Parade returned, we found out a long-running Disney World show is closing permanently, and more! There has been some change at Disney World restaurants, too, including some major menu updates! So let’s get to them!
Do you have a favorite Disney World hotel?
Disney’s Beach Club Resort
Are you a value, moderate, or deluxe resort fan? What do you prioritize in a hotel when you stay at Disney World? Whatever it is, EVERY hotel at Disney World has a lot to offer, including great food, activities, and more! But things change regularly throughout the resorts, so we’ve been visiting all the hotels to keep up with the latest updates.
