food IS a theme park
Do you have plans in Disney World for Christmas and/or New Year’s?
Raglan Road
Although the parks are sure to be crowded, it’s still fun to spend these holidays in Disney World. Many Disney World restaurants offer special Christmas Day menus PLUS New Year’s Eve brings special entertainment and fireworks to the parks. Well, if you’ll be in Disney Springs for either of these holidays, you’ll want to make your way over to Raglan Road — we’ll tell you why.
The Christmas trees are up, the halls are decked, Gertie is wearing her Santa hat, and Disney World is in full swing for the holiday season.

It really is the most wonderful time of the year in Disney World, and that’s mostly because we get to try ALL the holiday snacks (seriously, they’re our favorite seasonal snacks). But while we’re munching on things flavored with peppermint and gingerbread, we’re also keeping an eye on Disney World restaurant menus — and yep, we’ve got some menu updates to share with you this week!
Well, it has been A WEEK in Disney World.
What’s better than a Mickey pretzel and beer?
Most of this week we’ve been worried about Hurricane Milton, and Disney World even closed briefly as a result. Needless to say, not a lot has happened with Disney World restaurants this week, but we did notice a few minor menu changes. We’re still waiting for that big round of food price increases we usually get this time of year, but for now, let’s just focus on the few updates we have.
It’s another spooky week in Disney World, celebrating all things Halloween, as well as all things EPCOT Food & Wine Festival.
Tacos at La Hacienda de San Angel
We were recently reunited with one of our favorite Halloween treats, We also got a chance to try out the Pumpkin Butter Cocktail at Narcoossee’s (y’all, we’ve been talking about that one for DAYS). Disney also released a massive list of new foods coming to Disney World for Hispanic and Latin Heritage Month — and our tummies are READY! In the meantime, we’ve been keeping an eye on those Disney World restaurant menus, as we do, and we’ve noticed a few changes.
There is another festival that starts at Disney World this weekend, but it is not at EPCOT.
Raglan Road
While the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival just started, another festival will be happening this weekend at Disney Springs! The Great Irish Hooley will be returning for Labor Day weekend at Ragland Road from August 30th to September 2nd. Of course, we have to talk about this FUN event, so let’s go!
We have an update on the wrongful death lawsuit filed against The Walt Disney Company, and it seems Disney may be ready to change their initial thoughts on how they wish to proceed.

Just days ago Disney was making a motion to move this lawsuit to arbitration citing terms and conditions that the plaintiff had agreed to when signing up for a Disney+ streaming service trial years ago, but now it seems that they’re looking to move things along within a courtroom instead.
