And with that came loads of new merchandise, decorations, snacks, and even new restaurants opening at the resort. But which new Disney World Restaurants are worth your time and effort?
Another month has come and gone in Disney World! Can you believe we’re only two months away from 2022? Seriously…where has 2021 gone?!

This month, to no one’s surprise, is chock-full of treats from the 50th Anniversary Celebration. Let’s revisit the menu items we would gladly try again and again, as well as those items we would rather not remember.
One of the newest restaurants in Disney World is Steakhouse 71, located at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.
Steakhouse 71
The restaurant’s theme is a nod to Disney World’s opening in 1971, and the decorations, artwork, and furniture reflect that time period in an upscale but nostalgic way. We’ve eaten breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Steakhouse 71 now, plus we visited the lounge to try some bites and drinks there. So when is the BEST time to eat at this new spot? We’ll break it down for ya here. [Read more…]
It’s finally here! Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration officially kicked off on October 1st, 2021, and we were there to soak it all in!
Disney World just turned 50!
Of course, the 50th Anniversary isn’t just a one-day party. Disney World is commemorating this historic milestone for 18-months, which means the odds are high that your next trip will take place during this celebration! If that’s the case, keep on reading so you can learn how to make the most of your 50th Anniversary Celebration vacation!
Disney World’s 50th Anniversary brought us a LOT of excitement, and one of our favorites was probably the brand-new table service restaurant at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. What can we say? We love Disney food.
We ordered a flight of sauces!
Yep, you KNOW we checked out multiple meals at the retro-themed Steakhouse 71. How does this casual dining restaurant stand up in a sea of beloved Disney World restaurants? We found out!
Steakhouse 71 just opened at Disney’s Contemporary Resort just in time for Disney World’s 50th anniversary!
Inside Steakhouse 71
The restaurant replaced The Wave that used to be in the hotel’s lobby, and the 71 refers to the opening year of Disney World (and the Contemporary). If you’ve been keeping up with us, you know that we’ve really enjoyed the food at this new spot — we’ve tried breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and had positive experiences overall. But, there’s one more experience to be had at the restaurant — eating in the lounge! So, come along with us as we check out if the lounge is up to par with the rest of Steakhouse 71.
Is it just us or was September the longest month ever?

Maybe it’s because we just couldn’t wait for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration to kick-off so that we could eat all the new foods in the parks. We also had a TON of restaurant menu changes, reopenings, and more!
We hope you’re ready for October because Disney World is changing BIG TIME.
