food IS a theme park
Considering how much we LOVE fried chicken in Disney World, and how much we LOVE waffles in Disney World, it makes total sense that we’d be straight-up obsessed with chicken & waffles in Disney World!

This epic comfort food combo is always a fav, and we especially love it when we find chicken & waffles with a fun twist! Like the new version being served at The Polite Pig in Disney Springs!
The pandemic has impacted a wide variety of industries, including the food service industry.
Disney Springs
At Disney World alone, many restaurants closed and have yet to reopen, and many Cast Members from a variety of locations and areas have been let go. Are Disney World restaurants really just firing everyone? We’ve already shared with you that things are much more complicated than you think. But now, specific and direct relief for restaurants might be on the way in the form of a new bill introduced in Congress.
We have been waiting to eat at Space 220 for a WHILE now.
Mission: SPACE and Upcoming Space 220
This new restaurant coming to EPCOT is set to send guests onto the Centauri Space Station where they’ll enjoy dinner with a view of Earth from SPACE. The restaurant was supposed to open back in 2019, but it has been delayed for a number of reasons. Today we spotted something that might indicate there’s some more progress being made.
While Valentine’s Day has us thinking about new Minnie Ears and fancy dinner dates, it’s important not to forget the Super Bowl!
Super Bowl Celebration 2020
In addition to being SUPER entertaining, it’s also a convenient excuse to feast on game day staples like Nachos, Buffalo Wings, and Quesadillas, and one Disney World restaurant has all of these and MORE for the big day!
Like a lot of restaurants in Disney World, when Topolino’s Terrace — Flavors of the Riviera first reopened at Disney’s Riviera Resort last year, it came with a seriously trimmed down menu.

The changes were most evident at breakfast, which was suddenly pastry-less, and missing two of its meaty menu stars! Well, hope you’re hungry, because the restaurant has brought back its sausage and steak!
We’ve been carefully watching all of the construction progress going on at the France pavilion in the new area that will house Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and France’s new crêpe restaurant.

Recently, construction walls near this spot came down and today we finally got to walk into the space and we got a FIRST LOOK from the ground of the new crêpe restaurant!
Generally when we’re working up an appetite in Disney World, we crave things like Cheshire Cat Tails, Mickey Waffles, and WHOPPING cookies!
Cheshire Cat Tail
But every now and then, we like to get a lil’ fancy with grown-up food, and a great place for elegant food with a touch of Disney magic is Be Our Guest in the Magic Kingdom! Especially now that they’ve beefed up their menu with LAMB! Tres chic!
Recently Tokyo Disneyland opened a whole bunch of new rides, shops, and restaurants as part of the expansion of its Fantasyland, including The Happy Ride with Baymax, a Beauty and the Beast attraction with some seriously incredible animatronics and special effects, and more!

But, the resort has also seen some other changes recently due to an increase in COVID-19 cases in Japan. Japan recently set a travel ban on non-resident foreign travelers coming into the country, Tokyo Disney Resort reduced its hours, nightly fireworks at the resort were suspended, and park ticket sales have been temporarily suspended. Now, another change is coming to the resort as several restaurants are set to temporarily close.
Disney Springs is FULL of incredible shops and restaurants.
City Works
With all of these restaurants comes a variety of different menus and different cuisines! And while sports bar flavors may not be the most unique, City Works in Disney Springs has just revealed a great new grab & go menu!
Happy Thanksgiving from Disney World, friends!
The Edison
The Most Magical Place on Earth is one of the best places to celebrate the holidays, and we’re glad we got to have a Thanksgiving meal here this year! While Disney is offering several Thanksgiving meal options around the parks and property, we decided to try out the holiday offering at The Edison today!
