food IS a theme park
Well, the day has finally come! The Disney Dining Plan has returned to Disney World!
Breakfast at Cape May
With this plan, you can basically pre-pay for ALL your meals so that when you get to Disney World, all you have to worry about is where to eat. But if you’ve used the dining plan BEFORE 2020, you might not know that it’s a bit different now than it was then. We’re using the Disney Dining Plan RIGHT NOW and we’re going to give you all the DETAILS on how it has changed in 2024.
When it comes to eating, EPCOT might just be our favorite park for Disney meals.
Hello from EPCOT!
Not only do you have a great variety of food, thanks to World Showcase, but you also have great counter service and table service restaurant options. Plus, when there’s a festival going on, you even have all those amazing food booths. EPCOT is a food lover’s paradise. However, those restaurants often get hit with price increases. So, if you like eating at the China Pavilion in EPCOT, here’s a heads up: the food there just got a little pricier.
When it comes to deciding where you want to eat on your Disney World trip — how are you supposed to choose?!
Cinderella Castle
With so many options between the parks, hotels, and Disney Springs, making that choice can be one of the hardest things you do when planning. We’ve eaten at every restaurant in Disney World, so trust us when we tell you that this is the ONE thing you must try from every single restaurant in Magic Kingdom!
If you’ve been following us for a while, you probably know that Disney’s Animal Kingdom has some of our favorite food in Disney World.
Animal Kingdom
Whether you’re looking for a quick snack or a table service meal, there are a ton of delicious options to choose from. Recently, I stopped by The Smiling Crocodile for lunch. Keep reading for my full review!
Tons of people are super excited that the Disney Dining Plans are RETURNING in January 2024! And…that’s why we feel a little bit like Sadness from Inside Out when we have to rain on everyone’s parade and remind you of a few not-so-awesome changes that are impacting the Dining Plans when they come back.

But we’d much rather warn you about these issues NOW so that you don’t run into them later on after you’ve already purchased a Dining Plan. So let’s get into all the reasons why you might be disappointed with the “new” (updated) Dining Plans in 2024 (but don’t worry — we’ll be sure to point out all kinds of good things along the way, too!).

What better place to eat the most important meal of the day than The Happiest Place on Earth?
Disney California Adventure
Disneyland just introduced a NEW breakfast option, and we’re headed into Disney California Adventure to check it out! [Read more…]
When you’re super hungry, in a hurry, and can’t be bothered to go through the whole endeavor that is Disney World table-service dining, quick service is the way to go!
Capt. Cook’s
Throughout the hotels and theme parks, Disney World has over 100 quick service locations where you can grab your food and GO, and at some locations, you can even order it ahead of time so that it’s ready as soon as you get there. While these locations are meant to be quick and convenient options, there are some things that YOU as a visitor might be doing that make it much less convenient for others.
If you’re chronically indecisive when it comes to choosing somewhere to eat, Disney Springs just might be the most stressful place you can go. The shopping and dining district inside Disney World lists 68 restaurants on its website — if you can’t choose between Taco Bell and McDonald’s for a late-night fast food run at home, how in the WORLD are you supposed to narrow down that huge number?!
Disney Springs
Don’t worry — we’ve been to ALL of the restaurants in Disney Springs, and we can tell you exactly which ones are and aren’t worth your time and hard-earned cash. We’ve taken that list of almost 70 restaurants and picked out the 6 best ones to make your decision WAY easier! [Read more…]
While Magic Kingdom is full of iconic Disney food, sometimes it can be hard to find a quality meal that won’t weigh you down.
Columbia Harbour House
We love Cheeseburger Spring Rolls, Disney fries, and the Nutella and Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich, but sometimes we just need something a little more substantial. One of our favorite places to get such a meal is at Columbia Harbour House, where you can find great options for seafood fans and landlubbers alike. Recently, they added a new entree to the menu, so I stopped by to check it out — come see how it went!
If you’re craving Tex-Mex at Disney World, Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe is a popular option.
Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe
Located in Frontierland of Magic Kingdom, this quick-service eatery provides visitors with southwestern flavor in the form of tacos, nachos, fajitas, and even bowls. The food here isn’t anything to write home about, but with the right combination of toppings, you can get yourself a pretty hearty and delicious lunch or dinner. However, something has been missing on the menu…
