food IS a theme park
Hello from Disney World, where it’s been a little colder than we’re used to this time of year!
Half Note Cupcake
But that hasn’t stopped us from gearing up to start eating all the new Valentine’s Day treats and nomming on some chocolate waffles. We’ve also been busy checking out all the menus at Disney World to see what restaurants have had some changes this week. And here’s what we found!
Disney World has SO many snacks, it can be hard to know what to order! Sometimes, you might see something on the menu and think it looks delicious, only to be let down. Unfortunately, today was one of those days when we did not enjoy our meal today in the Magic Kingdom. What can we say…we were drawn in by the enticing menu photo and tricky 50th Anniversary branding! We’ve all been there.
Happy 50th Anniversary! (several months later)
Disney released a TON of new snacks and desserts for the 50th Anniversary. Some were adorable and delicious; others were not. We’re here to issue a warning to those of you looking for a quick lunch or mid-afternoon snack: don’t make the same mistake we did!
We’re just going to say it straight: There’s not a ton of awesome options for dining in the Magic Kingdom.
Frontierland Entrance
Compared to other parks (and EPCOT especially), the options for delicious food in this park are a little more limited. But there are definitely still a couple of fan-favorite spots around, and we’re heading to one of them today to try out a few dishes. Yee-haw! We’ll meet you over in Frontierland!
The Disney parks are constantly changing, which is why there’s almost always construction!
EPCOT’s Future World Construction
From the massive projects at the front of EPCOT’s Future World to the little refurbishments happening all over, Disney is hard at work building and rebuilding all over the parks. However, sometimes all of this construction can end up making some areas look like a hot mess. Today, one Magic Kingdom area was definitely looking messy.
What a week, right?
Reopening soon!
It’s been a super exciting one for us at DFB — we FINALLY got to see Casey’s Corner reopening, and we started seeing reopening dates for other restaurants at Disney World. And reopenings also mean we get a peek at new menus, so we’ve got a few of those in our updates, along with some brand new snacks!
We’ve gotta be real with you: we LOVE coming up with food hacks here at DFB.
Waffles with a view
We’ve added ice cream to Nutella Waffles and created our very own Mickey-shaped dessert. We even invented a drink that made it on the OFFICIAL menu over at Barefoot Pool Bar! But today, we’re taking a CLASSIC Disney snack and putting a twist on it…and you’d better buckle up for this one.
When you’re at Disney World, you’re already (hopefully!) having a pretty good time. So, it doesn’t take much more to take your trip from ordinary to extraordinary!
Cinderella Castle
You may think you need to spring for a deluxe hotel room, eat at the most popular (and pricey!) restaurants, or go all out on princess dresses and limited edition merch to make your trip extra magical, but there are TONS of ways to UPGRADE your trip for less than $5!
We know all about iconic pairings like Mickey and Minnie or Cinderella and Prince Charming… but, have you seen how perfect corn dogs nuggets and cheese are together? 😍
Corn Dog Nuggets
We’ve always thought that Disney’s corn dog nugs and plastic cheese were meant to be together. It’s practically SCIENCE that the moment you dunk your nuggets in a big ole’ cup of cheese, they’re automatically a thousand percent better. But, you might be shocked that we’re ditching the plastic cheese today in favor of a new pairing in Disney World!
It’s no secret that we here at DFB LOVE the Christmas snacks!
Fa La La La Funnel Cake
In fact, we’ve tried A LOT of them in the past few days, and we’re still on board to try even more! On a visit to Magic Kingdom today, we stopped by Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe to try the new mini Christmas Churros [Read more…]
Whether you’re looking for a Halloween Pandora charm or spooky popcorn buckets — you can find all kinds of Halloween and fall treats and merchandise around Disney World.
Green Cauldron Popcorn
We’ve even seen more fall decorations popping up lately. Today, we learned that another park treat has received a spooky makeover!
