food IS a theme park
It’s officially springtime at Disney World, and we have eaten SO many sweet spring and Easter snacks. SO MANY.
Welcome to Roaring Fork
We’ve bitten into our share of bunny butts, carrot cakes, Peeps, and more! But hey, bring on more dessert! This time, we’re trying a cupcake from Roaring Fork at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.
With the steadily increasing heat in Florida, we’ve been on the lookout for more refreshing drinks in Disney World. Boozy hot chocolates and St. Patrick’s Day cocktails are OUT, and quenching bevs are IN!
Nomad Lounge
And boy did we find the perfect quencher in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, where Nomad Lounge is celebrating Earth Month with a specialty cocktail that’s as refreshing as it is pretty!
It’s no secret that we LOVE Gideon’s Bakehouse, and we head over to the Disney Springs location almost every chance we get!
Inside one of our favorite cookie and cake spots!
And we’ve had so many yummy treats there, including a Coffee Cake Cookie, a PB Chocolate Swirl Cookie, and a slice of Hazelnut Mocha Cake! Earlier this week, we tried a new cookie at Gideon’s inspired by the Flavors of Florida. Now, we’re trying a cake slice that also celebrates Floridian flavors!
Today, we stopped by Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge to check out a restaurant that recently extended its hours!
Animal Kingdom Lodge
The Mara was previously only open for breakfast, but now it’s back to offering dinner! We made a quick visit and grabbed some dessert along the way. Surprised? You shouldn’t be.
Animal Kingdom has been serving up so many new treats this week.
Animal Kingdom…new treat hub?
Some of the snacks we tried in the park were serious hits — we’re looking at you, Everest Base Camp Macaroon. Today, we headed over to Pandora — The World of Avatar to get a taste of a new, boozy drink they’re mixing up.
Alright, folks, it seems like Disney’s Animal Kingdom is seriously stepping up its snack game at the moment.
Expedition Everest!
We recently tried some cotton candy-topped drinks in the park, along with a life-changing macaroon inspired by Expedition Everest. Then, today, we spotted another new treat that we just had to try!
Happy Easter, DFB Friends!
Capt. Cook’s!
We’ve been busy eating our way around all the Easter snacks at Disney World, including things with bunny butts, donuts with Peeps on them, pastel Mickey Whoopie Pies, and more! But we’re just getting started!
If you’ve been keeping up with DFB for a while you’ll likely know that Via Napoli is one of our favorite spots around World Showcase in EPCOT. It was love at first bite (of pizza) and we can’t fuhgeddaboudit! Yes, we love traveling around and trying all the exotic (and often delicious) foods, but we keep coming back to our favorite pizza spot in the Italy Pavilion time and time again.
Via Napoli in the Italy Pavilion
We would probably eat here more often than we should if we could. But we wouldn’t be doing our jobs of sharing EVERYTHING you can eat in Disney World, now would we? 😉 Every once in a while though, the siren song of those pizzas comes a’callin. Who are we to not answer that call? Let’s eat some ‘za!
We’ve eaten some pretty outrageous donuts since Everglazed Donuts and Cold Brew opened, and we have ZERO regrets.
Yes, donuts DO make us happy!
That includes a ridiculously fun, St. Patrick’s Day Donut, a HUGE Chocolate Paradise Donut, and a SWEET (in more ways than one) Strawberry Deluxe Donut! And we’re just getting started!
There are TONS of amazing quick-service locations in Disney Springs, and today we visited one of our favorites!
D-Luxe Burger in Disney Springs
D-Luxe Burger is known for their incredible burgers (obviously), and it’s one of the few restaurants owned and operated by Disney in the area! While the restaurant offers up some fun seasonal food, we grabbed a classic on the menu today.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
