food IS a theme park
Hey, DFB friends! It’s time for another round of what’s new at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Hollywood Studios
In addition to the price increases throughout Disney World, we also saw the return of some fan-favorite treats, and we even learned some fun Disney World trivia! Check it all out here.
We’re a couple of weeks into 2022 now, but it still feels like the holidays in Disney World!
Fireworks at Magic Kingdom!
Holiday decorations are still up in the parks, and you can find plenty of ornaments, stockings, and Christmas PJs in the gift shops. Although it seems like the parks are clinging to holiday cheer for dear life, there’s one spot that has officially moved on from the festive season — and we’re actually VERY glad that it did!
We totally get it, you’re going to Disney World and you want to do all the BEST things!
Cinderella Castle
You probably want to stay at the best resort, go on the best rides, and (maybe most importantly) eat all the best food! As the Disney Food Blog, we consider ourselves experts on that last one, and we’ve put together quite a few “best food” lists over the years. Today we’re talking about the best snacks in Disney World, but more precisely, how much it would COST to eat the 20 best snacks. Let’s start that budget now!
Although we’ve spent the past few months eating almost nothing but holiday snacks at Disney World, we’re ready to start the New Year off with some returning favorites!
Rosie’s All American Cafe in Sunset Ranch Market
So when we spotted a peanut butter cupcake at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we jumped all over it because we LOVE peanut butter, whether it’s in a peanut butter brownie or an ice cream sundae!
Welcome back to another roundup of What’s New in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Tower of Terror
Today we’ll talk about menu updates, Skyliner construction, and new merchandise, so let’s dive right in!
The first quarter of 2019 is complete, and it’s time to get down to business. Of course, we mean cupcakes and the business of our 2019 Cupcake Crawl! But let’s address the buttercream in the room: with only three months under our (cupcake-filled) belts, we’re going to need to come back in a few months with a some new additions — so be on the lookout for the summer’s updated crawl! 😉
Come along as we list cupcakes you’ve got to try (so far!!) in 2019!
Firework Cupcake at Contempo Cafe
Our first entry in the Cupcake Crawl is a little loaded, and that’s because it’s an old favorite with a slightly new look (and taste!). The Peanut Butter Crunch Cupcake (a/k/a the Butterfinger Cupcake) has been a DFB favorite for years. The chocolate cake filled with dense chocolate ganache and topped with peanut butter frosting and crushed Butterfinger really worked for our PB&C obsession. But in January of this year… the Peanut Butter Crunch Cupcake disappeared from Trolley Car Cafe! (Read more about that here!) And when it returned recently, the cupcake had a whole new look.

Gone is the massive mountain of frosting covered in plentiful Butterfinger bits, replaced by a moderately sized pile of frosting covered in Butterfinger bits. Gone (maybe?) is the dense chocolate filling — now it’s more of a chocolate sauce filling. [Read more…]
This week we stopped by Hollywood Studios to check out the BRAND NEW Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy and the return of one of our all-time favorite snacks — the Butterfinger Cupcake! We also got an update on the on-going Skyliner station construction as well as a look at some other new snacks and merchandise.

Let’s kick things off with all that construction happening outside the park!
Are you among our many likeminded friends who were dismayed to hear that the Butterfinger Cupcake — a longtime snack staple at Disney’s Hollywood Studios — had disappeared from The Trolley Car Café?
Trolley Car Cafe
If so, then you’ll be thrilled to know that the Butterfinger Cupcake is BACK in The Trolley Car Café bakery case! [Read more…]
The Trolley Car Cafe in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is always one of our first stops in the park for either our daily Starbucks, or to satisfy our sweet tooth. This week we were delighted to find four brand new patisserie-worthy pastries in the window at this location.
New Pastries at Trolley Car Cafe
But, once the excitement over the new pasties settled — we noticed even more big news, with the help of a cast member at the location. Something was missing in the bakery case — something BIG — and it is not only a DFB favorite, but a park-guest and DFB reader favorite.
It’s been a busy week over in Hollywood Studios! We’ve rounded up all the updates for you — new eats, new merchandise and LOTS of construction.
Hello from Hollywood Studios!
We don’t expect to see these Christmas decorations up much longer! They have been busy in the last few days in the park with lots of new updates, starting with the Skyliner station!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
