food IS a theme park
Let’s face it — summers at Disney World can be BRUTAL.
Spaceship Earth in EPCOT
That’s why we always recommend staying hydrated, finding shade and taking breaks when you can, wearing plenty of breathable clothes and LOTS of sunscreen — and of course, eating refreshing SNACKS! We are Disney Food Blog, after all. And you’re in luck because we’re trying new flavors at an underrated EPCOT spot. Let’s get to snackin’!
If you’re headed to the Disney Parks in search of great food, look no further than Disney California Adventure!
Disney California Adventure
Home to most of the Disneyland Resort’s festivals, California Adventure is the place to go if you’re in the market for interesting eats and limited-time snacks. Right now, the parks are celebrating Pixar Fest from April 26th through August 4th, 2024, with tons of Pixar fun like a new parade, themed merch, and special food offerings. Speaking of special food offerings, we recently stopped by California Adventure to try a NEW Pixar Fest dessert based on Pixar’s Inside Out!
Trust us, you’re not going to go hungry if you’re searching for delicious snacks in Disney World.
Cinderella Castle in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom
Each of the parks and resorts has its own variety of specialty treats on top of the common, more iconic Disney snacks. And if you’re heading to Magic Kingdom, you’ll likely encounter some of Disney’s most famous eats! But even with a long list of popular snacks to choose from, the park is often adding new options, and this week we spotted a new one at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe.
There is so much to do at Disney Springs! A new drone show called “Disney Dreams That Soar” just debuted in May, and Disney Springs is jam-packed with restaurants and shops. Plus, you can find a variety of live entertainment throughout Disney Springs.
Disney Springs
We are always on the hunt to make sure we keep all of our readers up to date on the latest food offerings at Disney World. Disney Springs is constantly introducing new offerings and rotating through options, and we are headed over to Vivoli il Gelato to try out a treat for Pride Month!
What’s better than a Disney dessert? A Disney dessert paying homage to a classic Disney ride, of course!
Matterhorn Bobsleds
Matterhorn Bobsleds is known as the first tubular steel track roller coaster and has been an absolute icon at Disneyland Park since it opened in 1959. Now celebrating its 65th anniversary, this major Disney landmark has stood the test of time through all kinds of expansion and Resort changes. In honor of the attraction’s longevity and importance in Disneyland’s history, Disney is offering a new Matterhorn-themed dessert!
Here at DFB, we make it our mission to do quality control food reviews in Disney World from time to time!
Cinderella Castle
That means we visit restaurants that we’ve been to before and retry our old favorite snacks, just to make sure they’re still up to par! The one consistent thing about Disney World food is that it changes all the time. And that’s exactly why I went to The Lunching Pad at Magic Kingdom recently!
We just tried a delicious take on the classic peanut butter and jelly at Disneyland Resort! Fantasmic! has returned to Disneyland Park and Pixar Fest is in full swing at Disney California Adventure Park. As well, new restaurants including Small Bytes pool bar, Paseo, Centrico, and Tiendita have opened at Disneyland Resort. There is always something new to explore in the parks and that is part of what makes them so special!
Award Wieners
We are in the parks every day, and we are always keeping our eyes peeled for updates, changes, and new food items. And today we are checking out Award Wieners!
The Disney World parks have some phenomenal food, there’s no denying it, but you can never discredit what you might find at the hotels around the resort!
Pop Century Resort
Each Disney World hotel offers a variety of food items. Some are great and some you might want to avoid. But when it comes to breakfast foods, snacks, and desserts, each hotel has something worth trying. We noticed that two Disney World hotels have started offering new filled croissants, so of course, we HAD to go give them a try!
When you think of Disney snacks — what comes to mind?
We love a good dog
Perhaps a Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar, pretzel, or popcorn tickles your fancy. Maybe you think of the controversial turkey leg or a classic Dole Whip. No matter what, some Disney snacks are just classics — and right now we’re bringing you our review of one of our favorites!
You have probably heard of The Grey Stuff a couple of times, and if you haven’t, you should “try The Grey Stuff, it’s delicious!”
Red Rose Taverne in Disneyland Park
We even have a recipe right here, so you can whip some of it up at home! You can usually grab The Grey Stuff from Red Rose Taverne in Disneyland Park (or Be Our Guest in Disney World). We have seen it get a twist at Red Rose Taverne before, like this Halloween Grey Stuff. And now, it got another twist, so we had to check it out!
