food IS a theme park
It’s no secret that we LOOOOOVVVEEE chocolate here at DFB. And we’ve had a lot of wonderful chocolately snacks at Disney World, including chocolate waffles, chocolate cupcakes, chocolate caramel brownies, and more!
Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop
So you can imagine we’ve spent a good amount of time at Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop at Disney Springs, although we have to admit we hadn’t been there in a while!
This is Halloween! And that means we’re at Disney World trying out all the spooky snacks — and even better, ALL THE SPOOKY DRINKS!
Abracadbar Sign
And we have tried SO MANY spooky drinks: Hocus Pocus frappuccinos, Poisoned Apple drinks, and even a Spooky Rum Punch.
The Polite Pig at Disney Springs might be known for its delicious barbecue dishes, but it’s also a great spot to grab some awesome boozy drinks!
The Polite Pig at Disney Springs
Take it from us — we’ve tried a few of those drinks! From the Peach Bourbon Lemonade to the Florida Mango Frosé, we’ve enjoyed some impressive concoctions at The Polite Pig.
FINALLY! All of the booths at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival are open…unless Disney surprises us with a few more!
The Donut Box
Today, the final pieces of the festival fell into place when The Donut Box and Cool Wash opened in Future World. Of course, that means it’s time to review some eats and treats so let’s get going!
San Angel Inn is one of those restaurants where the MAIN draw is the atmosphere. It’s all about location, baby, and this restaurant is INSIDE the big pyramid in EPCOT’s Mexico Pavilion where it feels like you’re actually dining alongside a lazy river on the bank of a river with a volcano in the distance!
San Angel Inn
This isn’t your typical tex-mex chain style food. It’s going for a more authentic take on Mexican cuisine and the result can be….hit or miss. Some things are REALLY good, while others haven’t wowed us. The inconsistency of the food has turned us off from this spot for a while, but the lure of a Disney water scented restaurant (if you know, you KNOW) called us back. How does the food compare now to the last time we were here? We decided to revisit San Angel Inn and see what’s up.
Having a churro from Disneyland is a rite of passage and something everyone should try to do at least once (or many, many times in our case!).
Rose Gold Churro at Disneyland
And although much of Disneyland Resort remains closed due to the global health crisis, Downtown Disney is open and they, luckily have churros.
When Disney World reopened, many of its bars remained closed due to a Florida ban on establishments that made 50% or more of their sales on alcohol.
Enoteco Castello at EPCOT
Florida recently lifted that ban, allowing bars to reopen at 50% capacity, as well as allowing them to serve glasses of alcohol and beer. And now we’re starting to see some Disney World bars reopening, too!
Halloweentime is in full swing in Disney World and we’ve got MORE treats to try!
Halloween Decorations
We’ve already had a BUNCH of delicious fall and Halloween delights like the Pumpkin Whoopie Pie, the Not So Poison Apple Cupcake, and the Pumpkin Cheesecake Cannoli. Now, we’re trying another Halloween eat — and this one is for the cookie fanatics!
We’re major foodies, you know this, so we’re in the loop when it comes to Disney World food festivals.
Sip, Savor & Stay Saturday
Unfortunately, this year’s Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic was canceled due to the global health crisis. In its place, the Swan and Dolphin Resort in Disney World is hosting Sip, Savor, & Stay Saturdays, inspired by the canceled fest. Well, we spent an evening at the event and we have our REVIEW!
Pandora in Animal Kingdom is a surprising wealth of yummy meals and snacks. And Satu’li Canteen, the land’s quick-service dining location, is a total must-try dining spot!
Satu’li Canteen
From innovative combination bowls to our beloved Cheeseburger Steamed Pods, there’s something for almost everyone. Ahh, Cheeseburger Pods. We love this snack so much that we learned to make a copycat recipe at home! And now, we’re back in Animal Kingdom to snag a refreshed review!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
