food IS a theme park
Disney World is constantly coming up with some rather unique snacks for holidays and special events.
Swirls on the Water
How could we ever forget that 50th anniversary drink with an actual octopus tentacle in it? But we’re going to forget about that and think about unique Easter treats — like the Donald Duck Chocolate Easter Egg or the bunny butt treats! But now Disney World’s Dole Whip nachos just got an interesting Easter twist.
Here at DFB, we are always looking for new styles of ice cream to try around the Disney parks.
Swirls on the Water
Salt & Straw in Disney Springs has fun new flavors every month (we’re looking at you, Lucky Charms ice cream!), Swirls on the Water in Disney Springs recently released a Shamrock Cone, and Vivoli il Gelato currently has a pistachio gelato-filled DONUT on the menu. But sometimes we get ice cream news so bizarre, we have to share it — even when it’s not at a Disney park. Buckle up, folks, because an ice cream flavor is coming to a store near you, and it tastes like SALAD DRESSING.
If you’re looking for fantastic food in Disney World, the best place to go is actually NOT one of the four theme parks. Instead, hop over to Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
Disney Springs is the HUGE shopping and dining center in Disney World. You don’t need a ticket to get in, and you can find almost 100 retail locations and more than 60 places to eat. Like the parks, things are constantly changing at the Springs, with new snacks and merchandise popping up all the time. Come along with us to check out everything that’s NEW since our last visit!

Ice cream at Disney undeniably tastes better. We can’t explain it — it just does! It must be all the magic in the air.
Swirls on the Water
Swirls On The Water is a popular ice cream spot in Disney Springs — and for good reason! Here, you can grab DOLE Whip Soft Serve treats, swirled to perfection with unique flavors. Swirls On The Water is bringing us a NEW treat this month, and we think it’ll bring some luck.
We love keeping you updated on everything Disney related!
Disney Springs
Disney World likes to stay busy with tons of new merchandise in the parks, potential new theme park projects, and the upcoming Tron opening. While we wait for some of those bigger items to happen, we’re heading to Disney Springs to give you updates on everything that’s new!
DOLE Whip creations in Disney World can be wonderfully delicious or, apparently, DANGEROUS.
Swirls on the Water
We have had all kinds of DOLE Whip treats over the years — DOLE Whip flights, a POG juice DOLE Whip float, and floats themed to characters you can’t even meet in Disney World. But Disney’s latest DOLE Whip option is one that may be dangerous for a very specific reason.
We’re in Disney World every day, and we’ve tried just about everything you can eat at the restaurants inside the parks and at the hotels. There are some truly fantastic snacks and meals, but there are also a few things you might want to skip. So which eats are which? We’re here to help you figure that out!

In January, we tried a ton of new snacks, returning eats, and classic staples. Some of those things made our “oh my gosh we have to eat this every single day” list, and others…not so much. Check out our complete list of the BEST and WORST things we ate in Disney World in January 2023. [Read more…]
Okay, so it’s hard not to love Dole Whip in ANY form.
Swirls on the Water
We’ve tried SO many flavors, from classic pineapple to watermelon, and we’ve had a TON of Dole Whip floats, and yes, we’ve even tried the Dole Whip Nachos (which got a festive upgrade during the holidays). Well, now we’re trying those Dole Whip Nachos again, and they’ve changed a bit…come along with us to see what’s different!
If you’re as big a fan of Dole Whip as we are, then you’re going to love this news!
Swirls on the Water
Swirls on the Water is a Dole Whip spot in Disney Springs that we love to peek at and see if we can find any new offerings when we stop by. We were excited to find a new Dole Whip Flight that we had to try out!
Are you worried about sticking to your special diet while visiting Disney World? You don’t have to be!
Disney Springs
Disney World restaurants are known for being accommodating to guests with allergies and special diets, whether you’re lactose-intolerant, vegan, allergic to shellfish, or many more. And for those gluten-free friends out there, we’ve been putting together guides on how to navigate the dining situation. In this guide, we’re heading outside the parks to Disney Springs!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
