food IS a theme park
Disney’s Aulani Resort combines the best of two worlds: a trip to Hawaii with a Disney-themed experience. Honestly, what could be better?
Disney’s Aulani Resort
We’ll tell you — the FOOD at Disney’s Aulani Resort. There’s a reason our middle name IS “Food,” after all. We’ve already told you a bit about some other restaurants at Aulani, including Pāpālua Shave Ice, Makahiki — The Bounty of the Islands, and ‘AMA ‘AMA, so we’re now going to tell you about another dining spot, Off The Hook.
If you ask a Disney World vacationer about the restaurants that they feel they absolutely HAVE to visit, there’s one spot that will likely come up in the conversation.
Be Our Guest Restaurant
Be Our Guest Restaurant has been one of Disney World’s most popular restaurants ever since it opened back in 2012. We’ve been many times in the last decade, but is it REALLY worth the hefty price for the experience? Things have changed a lot here since 2020, and we’re going back to bring you our honest thoughts.
When it comes to food, we’ll be the first to say that Disney World constantly delivers.
Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe
Sure, there are snacks we’re sick of (all that blue frosting on the 50th anniversary, y’all), snacks that got a downgrade, and some that just really aren’t our jam. But sometimes there are things we get promised that don’t quite turn out the way they’re supposed to. Today is one of those times.
It’s the holiday season in Disney World, and you know what that means…
It’s the holiday season in Disney World!
…holiday EATS and DRINKS! We’ve tried all the new and returning favorites at EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays, eaten the exclusive snacks at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and now we’re headed to a Disney Resort Hotel to check out a NEW holiday dessert they’re serving up!
If you’re looking for Italian food in Disney World, there’s one restaurant you HAVE to try.
Trattoria al Forno
You can find Trattoria al Forno on Disney’s BoardWalk, where you can opt to eat breakfast or dinner without even needing a Disney Park ticket. Recently, we decided to stop by and give dinner a try again, so find out all our thoughts here!
You might know the best places to eat in Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and even Animal Kingdom…but what about the snacks that are more HIDDEN in Disney World?
The Lobby at Animal Kingdom Lodge – Kidani Village
Truly some of the best food in all of Disney World can be found in more tucked-away spots in…Disney World’s hotels! Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge has some big hits with the Boma buffet (zebra domes!) and Jiko delights. But today’s journey brings us to a spot that’s even MORE tucked away within this resort.
Have you heard? It’s time to head to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge!
Animal Kingdom Lodge
Why? Because several restaurants are getting new menu items, including the Maji Pool Bar, Jiko: The Cooking Place, and The Mara. Come along with us at The Mara as we try several new dishes!
Things have changed a LOT in the realm of Disney World dining recently.
Restaurantosaurus
We’ve seen changes in dining reservations policies, restaurant reopenings, and menu updates — and that’s all within the last few months alone! But now you can add another item to that list. One Disney World restaurant has updated its kids’ meals!
November was a BIG month in Disney World.
We love these holiday decorations!
We saw the return of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, said goodbye to EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival and hello to the Festival of the Holidays, and we’ve also tried all kinds of new and returning eats. Now we’re back with the five BEST and the five WORST foods we ate in Disney World this November!
The holidays may just be the BEST time in Disney World.
Le Petit Cafe
The decorations are BEAUTIFUL, the trees are HUGE, and the snacks are EVERYWHERE. There’s even an ENTIRE festival surrounding the holiday season, and, yes, we are here for it. But mostly, we’re here for the food. So we’re checking out another holiday snack over at Le Petit Cafe at Disney’s Riviera Resort.
