food IS a theme park
What’s one of the most unfortunate things about being a Disney fan? The fact that it’s EXPENSIVE.
Cinderella Castle
Going on Disney World vacations frequently can add up quick, and each year, things seem to get pricier. We’re no strangers to Disney price increases, but back in October, Disney World announced a BUNCH of them. We’ve rounded up a full list so that you’re prepared going into your next trip!
It’s no secret we get excited about new snacks in Disney World and Disneyland.
Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana in EPCOT
We’ve recently been making our way around both parks enjoying holiday snacks in Florida and California. We’re getting ready to dig into ALL the goodies at the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays. We’ve been visiting the gingerbread displays at Disney World hotels to check out their pop-up holiday snack spots. Well, now, even MORE new snacks are coming to Disney Parks — AND WE ARE HERE FOR IT.
Okay, so it’s no secret that our job is literally eating ALL the food in Disney World, or at least all the new food.
It’s that time of year!
So the holiday season has arrived and that means that there a lot of new food and snacks arriving at Disney World parks, hotels, and Disney Springs. So, yes, we’ve been running all over Disney World, dropping almost $600 total on new holiday snacks just to get you reviews on everything. That is a LOT of food, y’all. So now that we’ve tried pretty much all the new stuff, we’re going to tell you about our hits and misses so you don’t waste a second of your time during your holiday Disney World trip wondering what to eat.
There are a lot of opportunities in Disney World to sit down, have some good food, and just RELAX.
The Cake Bake Shop
We love those longer dinners at places like Victoria & Albert’s at the Grand Floridian, Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya in EPCOT, and California Grill at the Contemporary. However, is there anything MORE chill than a nice afternoon tea? Well, Disney World hasn’t had an afternoon tea offering in QUITE a while (the Grand Floridian Garden View Tea Room never reopened after 2020), but now it has one again! So come with us as we check out the NEW afternoon tea at The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers at the BoardWalk!
The holiday season may have arrived right after Halloween in Disney World, but it’s in FULL swing right now ahead of the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays.
Christmas is here!
That means ALL the holiday decorations have gone up, the Christmas trees are shining bright in the lobbies of Disney World hotels, and holiday snacks are literally turning up everywhere. But you know us — we love a good challenge, so once again, this year, we’re going to try to eat ALL the holiday snacks we can get our hands on. For this round, we’re hitting up Disney’s Hollywood Studios to get you reviews of EVERYTHING you should — or should not — eat in Disney World this holiday season. Â
The holiday season is in FULL effect in Disney World. The decorations are OUT, the trees are lit, and the snacks and drinks are flowing.
Tree at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
Of course, our favorite part of this season IS the snacks, and there are a WHOLE lot of new ones to try this year — and the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays hasn’t even started yet and there will be even MORE snacks to try. However, we’re trying to make our way around Disney World hotels to check out those new holiday snacks, and we’ve got a sweet treat to tell you about at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.
It’s no secret among Disney snack fans that the Orlando theme parks aren’t exactly known for their top-quality churros. Need we remind you of the Worms ‘n Dirt Churro?
Worms ‘n Dirt Churro
Disneyland, on the other hand, is very much known for its iconic churros. Disney World churros often fall extremely flat and can never seem to achieve that same level of deliciousness. But every time Disney World comes out with a new churro, we ask ourselves if it’ll live up to our West Coast expectations, even though we expect to be disappointed. This time, we headed over to Animal Kingdom to try the new holiday churro and…well…we had such high hopes.
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is now open on the West Coast, and Disneyland is celebrating big!
Tiana’s Palace in Disneyland
For the new ride, we’ve seen lots of fun merchandise and special offerings, but one thing we’re most excited to try is the new menu at Tiana’s Palace. Let’s go check out some new eats!
It’s the holiday season, and the Christmas-themed treats abound!
Magic Kingdom
In the past several days, we’ve been hustling all across Disney World to try everything from gingerbread to ice cream to savory seasonal snacks. There’s going to be PLENTY for you to try if you’re heading to the parks soon! And now, we’ve got to share two treats we tasted in Magic Kingdom.
The holidays have arrived in Disney World — and you know what that means? It means it’s time for the first Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in Magic Kingdom.
Party map!
Bring on the snoap, the fun holiday parade, the entertainment, the special characters…we are HERE for it. But more importantly, what we REALLY love to do at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is eat (yes, yes, I know you are SO surprised). So we tried some of the new eats at this year’s party and we’re going to give you our honest thoughts about ALL of them!
