food IS a theme park
Listen y’all, someone has to say it.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
We are Disney FOOD Blog, after all, so we guess we’ll be the ones to say what everyone has been thinking. There has been a snack at Disney World that we used to LOVE. However, there have been so many changes that have been made to this snack that it just… hurts us to think about it. We can’t continue holding it in anymore, so we need to tell you about it. [Read more…]
Disney World is constantly changing — that much is true.
Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom
But, some changes just straight up break our hearts, and we’ve been experiencing quite a bit of heartbreak lately — especially when it comes to food updates. Just when we think we’ve seen the worst of it — Disney goes and breaks our hearts yet again.
When it comes to great dining in Disney World, Disney Springs is THE place to go.
Chicken Guy!
Whether you’re looking for an upscale wine bar experience or want some delicious BBQ, there’s a little something for everyone. Sometimes, we find ourselves just wanting to hit up the fast-casual Chicken Guy! restaurant, mostly because we love that there’s a HUGE selection of sauces. Well, there used to be, anyway.
We are here to bring you some BIG NEWS that’s actually really sad.
Animal Kingdom
If you have been following Disney Food Blog for a while, you know that we love sauce. We even recently did a deep dive into Disney World sauce options. We have tried many of the sauce options in the parks so we know a thing or two about a good sauce. At Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we grew fond of the sauces at Mr. Kamal’s that came with the seasoned fries. But now things have CHANGED at this popular snack spot.
Here at Disney Food Blog, we know that the right sauce can truly make the meal.
Sauce at Roundup Rodeo BBQ
And from cheesy sauces to curry, we have tried a lot — so we know a thing or two about the options around Disney World. Today, we are taking a full look at the favorite sauces our staff knows and loves around the park. Come sit with us!
McDonald’s fans get ready — some exciting news is on the way.
Happy Meal
We’ve seen all kinds of updates from McDonald’s lately, from news about changes to its iconic burgers to new Happy Meal toys and a limited-time snack. But this latest update had us sliding into McDonald’s DMs — sort of.
Sure. You can get chicken tenders, mac & cheese, and fun sauces outside of the Most Magical Place on Earth. But…have you ever gotten them like THIS?! If you haven’t, then you’re making a BIG mistake. Don’t worry — we’re about to tell you how to fix it.
YES. YES. YES.
You might already know that some of the best table service restaurants can be found in Disney Springs, but did you know that there’s also some great fast food available there as well? Right now we’re taking you on a trip with us to a counter service restaurant that was created by a celebrity chef and we’re going to show you why it might be worth it to opt for chicken tenders and mac & cheese over some of Disney Springs’ fancier eats! [Read more…]
Disney Springs is filled with delicious restaurants, from casual dining to table service.
Chicken Guy!
Chicken Guy! (yes, with the exclamation point) is lead by celebrity chef Guy Fieri and is one of the more underrated dining spots in Disney Springs. Known for serving 22 different sauces alongside their tasty chicken tenders, you can take a trip to Flavortown for both a delicious and budget-friendly meal. Want to try Chicken Guy! but don’t want to visit Disney Springs? You have a new option in Central Florida!
If you know us, you know we love a LOT of SAUCE.
Mr. Kamal’s Fries with Dipping Sauces
That’s a big reason that we’re fans of Mr. Kamal’s in Animal Kingdom! This spot serves Mr. Kamal’s Seasoned Fries which are delicious on their own, but made all the better by the different sauce options you can snag! Today, we swung by Mr. Kamal’s and noticed that only a few options were available — and not the ones you’ll see on the online menu.
Mr. Kamal’s Seasoned Fries
The Grand Floridian Cafe in Walt Disney World’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is known for its relatively understated decor (free of Disney characters and over-the-top styling) and its relaxing atmosphere. But there’s one thing here that’s not at all understated: the food!

Last fall, I shared the Lobster Thermidor and the Floridian Pancakes, both of which were fantastic, and just a couple of months ago we let you in on a little chicken-and-waffles hack.
