food IS a theme park
Do you dream of Hawaii like we do, maybe with the intention of spending some quality time at Disney’s Aulani Resort?

Although we’ve seen some Aulani Resort merchandise pop up in Disney World, we really do dream of being able to go there more often. Many Aulani restaurants reopened with the resort, but one has been closed because it’s getting an update — well, Disney just announced more details about that restaurant’s reopening!
We’re getting a LOT of new additions to Disney World soon!
Disney’s BoardWalk
EPCOT is in the middle of a massive transformation that will add new buildings and the Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana attraction. Toy Story Land is currently under construction for a new gift shop, as well as a new restaurant, Roundup Rodeo BBQ. A while back, Disney announced that changes would be coming to the BoardWalk as well, and now, we’ve got more information about a NEW restaurant!
We set sail on the Disney Wish, and we’re bringing you a taste of everything there is to do on board!
Let’s GO! It’s Wish Time!
Disney Cruise Line’s newest ship, the Disney Wish, is full of unique experiences, activities, and shopping. But now, we want to take you into the ship’s adult-exclusive steakhouse that’s inspired by Cogsworth from Beauty and the Beast!
There are SO many dining options in EPCOT, it’s honestly challenging to keep track of them all.
EPCOT
You’ll find at least one dining spot in each of the World Showcase countries, many with authentic cuisine and unique snacks. Besides those, you’ve got places like the newly-opened Space 220 or Connections Eatery in the front of the park, which are great options for a stop between all those rides. Recently, one EPCOT spot got a bit of a menu update, and we stopped by to try it out and share our thoughts!
There are lots of exciting dining and snack updates happening in Disney World these days!
Brunch spread at Olivia’s Cafe
In the past few months, the parks and resorts have opened several new restaurants and we’ve still got more on the way! On top of that, we’ve got a long list of new snacks available for the summer season. And now, Disney has made a very exciting announcement about an under-the-radar restaurant!
If you’re hoping to enjoy an extra special dining experience at Disney World, character meals are a popular choice!
Garden Grill
Currently, there are full character meal options in three of the four parks (the full experiences haven’t yet returned to Magic Kingdom), as well as multiple Disney World hotels. One of our favorite spots to visit here at DFB is Garden Grill in EPCOT, and today, the restaurant made a big menu change!
The list of restaurants that remain closed in Disney World is growing slim!
Victoria & Albert’s Monogrammed Plates
We have seen buffets return, the return of character dining, and fan-favorite restaurants reopen. Back in March, we got the news that Victoria & Albert’s would be reopening in Disney World this year and ever since then, we have been waiting with bated breath to get an official opening date. And today is that day! Disney just announced a reopening date for Victoria & Albert’s!
Magical. Transportive. Immersive. Nostalgic. Disney World may be a LOT of things, but one thing it isn’t is predictable.
Crowds along Main Street, U.S.A.
Sheer originality and spectacle go into each and every Disney detail, from the rides to the merch, and increasingly so, this sentiment also applies to new restaurants.
Disney World is full of amazing restaurants!
Cinderella’s Royal Table has some beautiful decorations.
Some of those amazing restaurants are incredibly popular, like Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom. We can’t blame people for wanting to dine there — the theming is unlike any other dining location around! And if you’re a big fan of Be Our Guest, then today we have another recommendation to add to your list.
If there’s anything we get excited about here at DFB, it’s Disney FOOD. And our readers are pretty dedicated to the craft as well!
Steakhouse 71 Stack Burger
