food IS a theme park
We’re about to EXPOSE the BIGGEST SECRETS of Disney World dining.
Bring on the fried food!
You might already know about the must-get items and popular snack picks. But now, get ready to learn about these restaurants’ most HIDDEN menu items!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is a little short on dining options right now. Sure, you can get your Pulled Pork Nachos at Capt. Cook’s, but some of our FAVORITE spots here like ‘Ohana, Trader Sam’s, and Spirit of Aloha are closed still.
Polynesian Resort
But there’s one reliable restaurant that is here to fill the void: Kona Cafe!
Forget impressing your friends with your incredible Disney knowledge. You can really blow their socks off when you order a secret menu item at a restaurant or lounge in Disney World.
Blue Wildness (Secret Drink at Geyser Point)
Part of the fun in ordering a secret menu item is that it feels like you’re a secret agent with special, classified information. But one spot in Disney World has taken a bit of the “secret” out of it.
Disneyland is full of delicious eats and treats, but the Disneyland Hotel holds a special place in our hearts.
Steakhouse 55 Located Inside the Disneyland Hotel
Recently, Heather and fam (heeeyyyyy @diningindisney!) stopped by the Steakhouse 55 to dig into a delicious 3-course dinner. And, we’re taking you with us!!
We hope you’re sitting down because it’s with heavy hearts and shaking hands that we type out these SAD words…
RIP $5 NOODS. You were too pure for this world!
The much-beloved $5 Noodles from Tambu Lounge are NO MORE. Haven’t got a clue what we’re talkin’ about? Gather near to us DFB fam, and we will tell you a tale of the golden, glistening Teriyaki Noodles for $5… that WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE!
When it comes to Dole Whips, we firmly believe you can’t have too much or too many of a good thing!
Sunshine Tree Terrace
Luckily, Disney World has DELIVERED on that, bringing us the popular FOMOsa, as well as a bevy of other crazy fun Dole Whip flavors and floats! On a recent trip to Sunshine Tree Terrace, though, we noticed that one of our new fave Dole Whip-creations was missing from the menu. Did that mean the strawberry-flavored Redd’s Revenge was gone for good?
We’re back at Disney’s BoardWalk, where we noticed the strange disappearance of the NEW Ice Cream Taco at Ample Hills Creamery.
Ample Hills Creamery
We shared our full review of this new menu item LAST week only to find that it had been removed from the menu this week…or so we thought.
We’ve got huge heart eyes for ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort — we just don’t always have the funds to indulge in their unlimited tasty meat skewers, teriyaki noodles, and signature bread pudding as often as we’d like to! (Especially dem noods!)
‘Ohana
And while we’ve always had a knack for finding crafty ways to get our favorite ‘Ohana eats on without booking a Dining Reservation for the super spendy restaurant — like this super under the radar $60 twilight feast or how you can secretly get ‘Ohana’s famous bread pudding after 4PM at Tambu Lounge — we just unearthed even more ‘Ohana secret menu items!
Greetings from Disney’s Old Key West Resort! This week we stopped by to check out the lunch options at The Gurgling Suitcase! The Gurgling Suitcase is a relaxing respite in Disney World, and they didn’t always serve food (though you could order from Olivia’s). But for a few years now they have their very own menu!
The Gurgling Suitcase
It’s already super hot in Florida so we were excited to swing by for a quick bite and cold drink! By the way, did you know the Gurgling Suitcase got its name from people trying to smuggle alcohol from Cuba into Key West in their luggage? Inspectors would shake the suitcases to see if the “gurgled” — hence the name The Gurgling Suitcase. Always so clever, Disney.
Between decorating the park, kicking off Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, and introducing a bunch of treats and sweets the Magic Kingdom found a way to do even more updates! We collected all the menu updates, merchandise introductions, refurbishment projects progress, and even more holiday eats right here for you!
Hello from the Magic Kingdom!
That’s a view that we could look at all day! Cinderella Castle, Fireworks, and Characters! Even Mickey is there — before his big day this weekend when he turns 90!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
