food IS a theme park
There’s a brand-new gelato cart coming to EPCOT’s Italy Pavilion!
Just another beautiful day in Disney!
Gelateria Toscana has officially opened, and we could NOT be more excited. We’ve been following the construction since the very beginning, and we’re finally trying the new spot out!
After months of anticipation, White Castle finally opened yesterday!
White Castle
In 2019, the burger chain announced that its first Florida chain in 50 years was opening near Disney World! We’ve been following the construction closely — and we even got a first look inside! And now, we’ve got BIG news about exactly how opening day went.
Here at DFB, we’re constantly talking about all the new restaurants coming to Disney World!
We’re here!!!
We’re speculating about places like Roundup Rodeo BBQ and Space 220 (will it EVER open?!) and we’re anxiously awaiting October 1st so we can dine at La Creperie de Paris in EPCOT. However, there are several off-property restaurants coming soon that we’re excited to check out, and today we got to do just that!
We’ve seen a LOT of new things coming to Orlando recently, specifically in the realm of food.

We’re gearing up for the opening of the world’s largest White Castle, along with the appearance of Portillo’s near the parks. On top of that, Gordon Ramsey announced that he will soon be opening a restaurant in Icon Park. Then today, we learned that a new bowling and restaurant chain is coming to the area, all the way from Chicago!
If you’re planning a trip to Disney World, there are several different types of reservations that you’ll need to make!
Be Our Guest Restaurant in Magic Kingdom
You’ll need to make reservations for your hotel and your dining, as well as Disney Park Pass reservations for each day that you plan to visit the parks. Plus, you’ll want to book experiences like Savi’s Workshop and Droid Depot in advance. Your vacation relies heavily on these reservations, but it’s still completely possible to have a great time without them. Either way, there’s no need to stress, because today we’re sharing our top tips for how to snag those hard-to-get reservations!
If there’s one thing that’s predictable about Disney World restaurants…it’s that they’re unpredictable!
We like to stay on top of things!
Disney’s dining locations are constantly evolving and we do our best to keep up with all the menu changes around the parks and resorts. Whether it’s a new item at a snack stand or a whole line of updated entrees at a sit-down restaurant, we make sure to follow Disney World menus closely. And today, we were given a pleasant surprise — two totally revamped menus at one of the table service restaurants!
Another popular restaurant may be coming to Orlando!

Sure, we LOVE the food inside Disney World, but we keep ya posted on what’s going on outside of the parks, too! Recently, we’ve been keeping you updated on the construction of 3 restaurants coming to the Disney World area: Portillo’s, White Castle, and Cowboy Chicken. And now, a Louisiana-based chicken chain could be on the way, too.
Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park have been closed for OVER a year (except for some minimal reopenings, like through the A Touch of Disney event). But, both theme parks are set to reopen in just a few weeks!
Soon Guests Will Be Able to Visit Disneyland Again!
We’ve already seen some ways in which Disneyland will be different when it reopens due to the reopening guidelines and restrictions, but now we’ve got another update. If you’re looking for a spot to grab an alcoholic beverage in Disneyland, you’ll soon have one more place to go!
Disney World has made many updates to its mask requirements since reopening last summer.
Face Mask Signs
The parks have strictly upheld their face mask policies to promote safety for all guests and Cast Members in line with health guidelines. Masks must be worn at all times, with the exception of eating and drinking while stationary, swimming, or sitting in a mask relaxation station. Now, there’s been a change regarding when guests must wear face masks.
It seems like Disney is looking to hire more people across the board today!
