food IS a theme park
Sometimes, you just want some plain ol’ fast food while you’re in Disney World.
McDonald’s Happy Meal
We’ve definitely made our fair share of visits to McDonald’s in Disney World. The massive location is a great spot to grab some McNuggets when the craving strikes and we usually find Disney-themed Happy Meal toys there. But what if another fast-food chain came to Disney property?
Here at DFB, we understand that some of our readers are on special diets and can’t always eat the things we eat at Disney World.
Orange and Raspberry Dole Whip Swirl!
But we want to help you in choosing some of the best food that you CAN eat, so we’re putting together some lists to help you choose.
You know those great boozy drinks that don’t even taste like alcohol?
Clarabelle’s Hand-Scooped Ice Cream
Well, we’ve got a treat for you, friends! Disney California Adventure is giving us MAJOR nostalgia with the newest alcoholic drink coming to the park!
We’ve been hard at work in the parks scoping out all the latest news for you! First, a few things to remember…
Signature Shakes
We have a lot to share with you this week, so let’s jump right in…
is a VERRRRY seasonal quick service spot uniquely located on Tom Sawyer Island at Walt Disney World. Finding this fun, casual restaurant open is a bit of challenge, but when you do, it’s a terrific place to grab a quick bite — particularly when the weather is amenable to outdoor dining on the front porch! And for a short time this month, Aunt Polly is welcoming diners!
Aunt Polly’s
The restaurant will be open from March 9-16 between 11AM-3PM and serving up some simple quick service eats! Becky’s Buttery Biscuit BBQ Sliders are back (Click here to read our review of Aunt Polly’s Biscuit BBQ Pork Sliders!), and we love the quaintness of the Peanut Butter and Raspberry Preserve Sandwich.
If you raft on over to Tom Sawyer Island in Magic Kingdom between now and January 5th, you’ll find that Aunt Polly’s is serving up eats on the Island!

Open from 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM during this busy holiday season, you can rustle up some grub from the limited time menu. [Read more…]
If you’ve been wondering if the Abominable Snowman’s snow cones from Monsters, Inc., are really lemon (or not!), wait no longer! Because the now Adorable Snowman has opened his counter service windows on Pixar Pier in Disney California Adventure Park! (HUGE thanks to @StephRPowers for these awesome photos!)
Adorable Snowman is OPEN on Pixar Pier!
Adorable Snowman Frosted Treats is one of the first of many highly anticipated openings to happen on the reimagined pier, and we’re excited to bring you the menu and a peek at one of the most amazing items on it!
Since Pixar Fest began at Disneyland Resort last week, we’ve been bringing you tons of eats (and a few drinks) from this super fun festival. We’ve shown you how to color-change noodles, dug into a double-berry funnel cake, and shared our favorite Cocoa Churro.

But there’s more to Pixar Fest than themed grub — like themed souvenirs! And one of our favorites is Woody’s Boot — complete with ANDY written on the bottom!
As the temperatures are rising in Central Florida, there have already been a few warm afternoons this year when a Root Beer Float seems like it would be just the thing to hit the spot.
If you feel the same way about this classic concoction, then you’re in luck, because you’ll find them around every Disney World park in spots like Magic Kingdom’s Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies, Animal Kingdom’s Trilo-Bites, and KRNR: The Rock Station in Hollywood Studios.
In several locations, you can substitute your preferred soda based on available flavors. For instance, I know plenty of people who like to go for a Coke Float, but I’ve always preferred Root Beer myself.
But while it’s true that we always think of this treat as being for kids, the Fife & Drum Tavern in Epcot’s American Adventure Pavilion is offering a Float made ONLY for grown-ups: the Hard Root Beer Float.

It’s a classic root beer float featuring Not Your Father’s Hard Root Beer. [Read more…]

You may not know it, but Disney is offering some really great beer these days! From more interesting seasonal options, to craft beers you know and love, there’s a ton of variety happening where this adult beverage is concerned.
