food IS a theme park
Magical. Transportive. Immersive. Nostalgic. Disney World may be a LOT of things, but one thing it isn’t is predictable.
Crowds along Main Street, U.S.A.
Sheer originality and spectacle go into each and every Disney detail, from the rides to the merch, and increasingly so, this sentiment also applies to new restaurants.
If there’s anything we get excited about here at DFB, it’s Disney FOOD. And our readers are pretty dedicated to the craft as well!

But when you’re a Disney foodie, it can be a seemingly impossible task to decide where to eat on your next vacation. You think about it for months, but there are SO many good options! Recently, we reached out to our followers on Facebook to see which NEW Disney World restaurants they’re most excited to visit, and we got some pretty interesting answers.
So just how much has changed at Disney World in a month?
There are a few new menu items at Backlot Express!
Well, spring break crowds have arrived, there’s a brand new Disney x Coach collection, the Festival of Fantasy Parade returned, we found out a long-running Disney World show is closing permanently, and more! There has been some change at Disney World restaurants, too, including some major menu updates! So let’s get to them!
Sometimes it’s fun to get out of our comfort zone and try new foods in Disney World, even if the flavor combination sounds bizarre — like with the 50th Celebration Cone, made with Dole Whip lemon and cookie dough soft serve (which oddly works!).
Some weird flavor combos work!
But still, not every Disney World dish or flavor combo works, and we’ve compiled a list of the best and worst foods we tried in March! Here’s what you might want to add to your next Disney World food list — and what you might not.
March was a BIG month of news for Disney World and lots of news can sometimes make for surprises!
Walt Disney World
From dining changes to health measure updates and more, let’s take a look at the four most unexpected things that happened in Disney World in March!
Spring has sprung!!!
There’s a CHICK on our cupcake!
We’re seeing spring a LOT at Disney World, in the crowds, at the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival, in the merchandise, and more. We’re even starting to see some fun spring snacks, including Easter goodies. In the meantime, we’ve also seen a few changes at Disney World restaurants, so let’s get to the updates!
Have you ever been surprised by Disney World? We sure have.
Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire
This week we learned about the return of a favorite transportation method, we saw a return to pre-pandemic life, and we even witnessed a derailment (yes!). Check it all out here (and more!).
Sometimes, for one reason or another, Disney needs to put a project on hold.
Avengers Campus ©Disney
Not too long ago, Disney shared that two anticipated Disney attractions, the Mary Poppins attraction in EPCOT and the Quinjet attraction in Disney California Adventure’s Avengers Campus, were put “on hold.” This was the first update we had heard about these attractions in a WHILE, but what does it really mean when a new Disney project is on hold?!
Change — love it or hate it, Disney World is FULL of change these days, and more change is on the way.
Magic Kingdom
There have already been changes when it comes to mask rules and select hotel check-outs. And the future will feature ride changes, hotel changes, and more. This week has been one full of changes — either announcements of changes that have already been made or ones that will soon take place. What changes should you be prepared for? Read on!
Welcome back to the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow! (That’s what EPCOT stands for, in case you didn’t know 😉.)
Spaceship Earth
We’re bringing you all the latest updates from EPCOT, including brand new menu items at a popular restaurant and an update on the construction progress at Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. There’s so much to see and do at this futuristic-meets-familiar Disney park, so let’s dive in!
