food IS a theme park
We know that Disney World vacations aren’t cheap! When you are visiting the most magical place on Earth, you don’t want to waste your money on sub-par food.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Even if you decide to splurge on a meal, not all Disney World restaurants are created equal. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your vacation, so we are sharing the most expensive restaurant in Disney’s Animal Kingdom that you should skip (and where you should go instead).
How are we almost at the end of February? This year is FLYING, but that’s because maybe so much is going on in Disney World.
Avocado Margarita
Just this week alone, we discovered a secret menu at a Disney World hotel restaurant, learned about a new interactive experience coming to Disney Springs, learned that virtual queues for two rides will be going away soon, and more. But Disney World restaurants have also been busy…changing their menus. So we’re going to get you updated on those changes.
Things change in Disney World ALL the time. That’s kind of the fun (and sometimes frustrating) thing about being a Disney fan.
Pandora in Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Now a LOT is changing in the parks, including in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. We’re getting an entirely new show inside the Tree of Life AND a completely new land. But let’s talk about food…now, we LOVE the food in Animal Kingdom, but a recent change was made to a popular drink, and we have some honest thoughts we’d like to share about it. The drink in question is the Pandoran Sunrise at Satu’li Canteen, and a KEY ingredient of that drink is now different.
Can you believe another fun week in Disney World has passed? Well, it has!
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Lunch Box Tart
This week has been especially fun for us because we got to meet our Villaintines PLUS we got to see a baby tiger. Seriously, BEST WEEK EVER. We even found our new favorite Disney World popcorn bucket — and it’s GORGEOUS. However, Disney World was changing up restaurant menus while we were having all that fun, so let’s see what’s been updated this week.
If you’re looking for the best eats at Disney World, you’ve come to the right place!
Magic Kingdom
We visit Disney World every day, which means we’re constantly trying food — both familiar and brand-new! With 2025 in full swing, we specifically want to take a close look at the BEST counter-service options in Disney World, so let’s jump in a look at the must-visits this year at the Most Magical Place on Earth!
When it comes to knowing Disney World restaurants, we’re experts and there’s no one quite as harsh on them as we are. So when we tell you these are our most highly rated restaurants, know we won’t steer you wrong!
Bacon and Eggs
It’s truly our business to know the ins and outs of every Disney World restaurant including each time something changes to the menus. We’ve eaten everywhere around Disney World including at the most recent restaurants to come on the scene and we’re giving you our own personal list of favorites we rate highly time and time again.
BREAKING BREAKFAST NEWS!
Satu’li Canteen
One of our absolute favorite restaurants in all of Disney World just brought its breakfast menu back! Satu’li Canteen inside Pandora: World of Avatar at Disney’s Animal Kingdom is a stellar quick-service spot that features build-your-own bowls and the iconic cheeseburger pods during lunch and dinner, but right now we’re taking you with us to check out the newly returned breakfast menu at Satu’li Canteen!
One of our biggest gripes with the Disney World parks centers around one thing: BREAKFAST. It’s not easy to find a quality quick-service breakfast meal in the Disney parks. What gives, Disney?! Well, we’ve got some good news — our trusty old favorite, Satu’li Canteen, is here to save the day.
Satu’li Canteen
Here’s a little history lesson for you. Back in the day, Satu’li Canteen used to have a full menu of breakfast items at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Then, over time, the restaurant shifted to a lunch- and dinner-only spot, leaving us breakfast lovers in the dust. But now that the holiday season is approaching and we’re anticipating more crowds in Disney World, BREAKFAST IS BACK, BABY!
Okay, so you know us, and we have a lot of favorite dining spots ALL over Disney World.
Animal Kingdom
But if you asked us about our favorite park for food, we very well might tell you that if we could choose a park JUST based on its food, we’d choose Animal Kingdom every time. The food there just SLAPS. However, we have a favorite quick-service spot there, too, and yes, you know where we’re going with this if you’ve been with us for a while. Two words: Cheeseburger Pods. Yep, we love Satu’li Canteen, and well, now a former Disney Imagineer who had a lot to do with helping create Animal Kingdom has commented on that restaurant!
Something new has arrived at Pandora.
Pandora
While often it’s the big changes at Disney Parks that garner the most attention. However, it’s the smaller, on the surface inconsequential changes that often define the Disney experience, even if guests don’t realize it. Recently we noticed one of these tiny changes at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
