food IS a theme park
We’ve been chatting about the hot dogs over at Refreshment Corner in Disneyland quite a bit lately!
Refreshment Corner
This is because old favorites and new must-haves keep popping up on the menu. I mean, how could we not chat about the return of the Philly Cheesesteak Dog or the new Elote Dog?! And now, two more offerings have been added to Refreshment Corner’s Mobile Order menu.
Happy weekend! We’ve been hard at work in the parks scoping out all the latest news for you, which is compiled here! First, a few things to remember…

(At our last check, the Philly Cheesesteak Dog could still be found at Magic Kingdom’s Lunching Pad, while you can head to Casey’s Corner for the Barbecue Pork Coleslaw Dog.)
