food IS a theme park
It’s been a busy week for Disney!
Funnel Cake from Epic Eats at Hollywood Studios
We got the Q3 2024 financial results for the company and learned how the theme parks were doing. We’ve been to the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and ate a TON of party-exclusive snacks. We’ve also been checking menus at Disney World restaurants to see if anything has changed, and the answer is “yes!” So let’s take a look at which Disney World restaurants changed this week.
Okay, we’re sorry to have to break the news, but we come to you with lots of Disney World changes this week.
Experiment 626 Cone
We know everyone is still REELING over the HUGE Genie+ changes, not to mention those food changes at Sleepy Hollow Refreshments in Magic Kingdom (oh, Fruit and Nutella Waffle Sandwich, we will MISS you so much). That, along with last week’s big missing hushpuppies news is enough to leave our brains fried, but we’ve still got MORE changes to tell you about, this time on menus at Disney World restaurants.Â
Animal Kingdom offers some of the best quick service snack options in Disney World… if you manage to snag them at the right time, that is.Â
Welcome to Animal Kingdom!
While Animal Kingdom’s culinary offerings don’t necessarily receive the same praise as their counterparts in other parks, it’s undeniable that many are equal to — if not surpassing — them. That may partially be because some of Animal Kingdom’s best quick service snacks are only available for a few hours a day. If you’re not careful about when you visit these snack stands in Animal Kingdom, you might totally MISS some of the best snacks in the park! DISASTER! Luckily, we’ve got all the info you need to avoid this potential catastrophe.
Hey, vacation is for indulging in things you normally wouldn’t be able to have at home!
Indulge away!
Yes, that includes Disney World vacations. We always say that traditional rules don’t matter while you’re in the Disney Parks, and it’s totally acceptable to eat dessert as a meal. If you have a serious sweet tooth, and you’re always one the hunt for your next treat while you’re in the parks, then this post is for you.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is home to tons of different snacks and meals that we just can’t get enough of.

However, this is Disney, which means that things change ALL the time. We keep our eyes peeled for all the latest new snacks to enter the park, and we don’t have one to share with you today — we have THREE!
If you’ve sworn off Disney World pizza, have we got the update for you!
Animal Kingdom
Pizza at Disney World can be a divisive topic, and depending on which park you’re visiting and what kind they serve, you’ll probably get a wide array of opinions. On a recent trip out to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we tried a new menu offering that could potentially flip your former opinion of Disney pizza as long as you keep an open mind! [Read more…]
For YEARS people have complained about Disney World pizza.
PizzeRizzo
And to be fair, we’ve had some pretty iffy pizzas in Disney World in the past. There have been quite a few discussions about the less-than-optimal puffy pizza that you get at places like PizzeRizzo, Pizzafari, and Catalina Eddie’s. But we’re here to tell you that not all Disney World pizza is terrible! In fact, there are some actually delicious options out there…you just need to know where to look.
So much is always changing at Disney World, it’s hard to keep up with it all.

New snacks arrive. Old favorite snacks disappear (yes, we’re still mourning Wendell’s Bear Claw). Disney World restaurants come and go. Restaurant menus also change regularly, so we try to keep track of them all to keep you updated!
There are a lot of things that can happen that can derail a Disney World vacation.
Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom
Maybe not getting the advance dining reservation you want will leave you disappointed. Maybe a ride closure will change your plans for an entire day. Maybe you run into some transportation problems. But there’s one particular problem in Disney’s Animal Kingdom you may not be aware of, and it could affect your dining plans.
Counter-service pizza in Disney World is notoriously subpar (looking at you, puffy pizza!), and believe us, we’ve tried a LOT of pizza in Disney World.
Terra Treats in Animal Kingdom
However, sometimes we do find some quick-service pizza that surprises us. For example, the Pizza Window in EPCOT typically serves some quality pies, and the pizza at Connections Cafe was surprisingly tasty! Over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we usually don’t rave about the food at Pizzafari. But now, we found some GOOD pizza somewhere else in the park, and we’re going to tell you ALL about it!
