food IS a theme park
It’s been quite the week in Disney World!
Magic Kingdom at night
The holidays have arrived in a BIG way, we’ve got all kinds of food news, and some things that haven’t been back in YEARS have finally returned. So sit back, relax, and pull up a chair, as DFB proudly presents…your weekly news roundup. 😆
Welcome to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Tree of Life
We’ve been keeping up with the latest updates in the park and sharing them you, like the FIRST holiday decorations in the park! And guess what? We’re back with even more updates from the parks, so let’s get rolling!
We’ve seen a TON of things return to Disney World over the past several months.
Tusker House
Traditional character meet-and-greets and traditional character dining has returned to many spots, and a lot of restaurants have reopened (with even more on the way!). One restaurant that returned in 2021 was Tusker House in Animal Kingdom. But it came back as a family-style meal, instead of its traditional buffet. And that’s how things stayed…until now!
Can you believe it’s NOVEMBER?! Where has the year gone?! It feels like we were just gearing up for summer, but now, holiday decorations are lining the streets of Disney World.
The Holidays have arrived in Disney World!
That’s right, as soon as that clock strikes Midnight on Halloween, it’s down with the pumpkins and up with the holiday wreaths (well, we actually saw holiday decor go up BEFORE Halloween in some spots!). There is SO much going on at Disney World during this time of the year, and we’re here to help you keep it all organized. So, let’s break down the BEST things to do in Disney World in November for those of you that have a trip coming up soon!
You need your sustenance in the morning if you’re on a Disney World vacation.
Expedition Everest
You’re gonna walk thousands of steps and meet plenty of new (or familiar) friends along the way. When you’re in Animal Kingdom, you NEED your breakfast before you climb Everest, safari in Africa, and soar over the floating mountains on the back of a banshee.

Disney World breakfast is MORE than just your standard plate of bacon and eggs. So let’s start your day off on the right foot with some of the BEST Disney World breakfasts on property!
Welcome to Disney World!
If you’re one of those Disney vacation folks who think breakfast is the most IMPORTANT meal of the day, then you’ve come to the right place. But stick around even if you’re not big on the breakfast scene because we’re gonna be looking at not just some of our FAVORITE places to dine for the A.M. at Disney World, but also some of the most convenient AND unique offerings (that may change how you look at breakfast foods entirely).
Well, we saw a lot of price increases in Disney World this week.
Be Our Guest Restaurant
Some were for food (we’ll get to that in a bit), but we also saw a price increase for Genie+ and the service switched to flexible pricing, meaning you’ll pay even more when demand is high. We’ve touched a little upon the food increases, but here’s the thing — there were a LOT more and we’re unpacking ALL those restaurant menu changes for you right here.
When it comes to Disney World, changes are coming — and they don’t stop coming!
Mickey at Tusker House
Just recently we’ve seen price increases hit the parks and resorts on everything from bottled water and special experiences to SEVERAL Disney World restaurants…again. Three character dining experiences are included in those restaurant price increases — and we’re sharing all the details you need to know.
If there’s one thing you should know about Disney World, it’s that there’s almost always something new to see or do.
EPCOT
Last month alone, the remaining EPCOT Food and Wine Festival booths opened, the new BoardWalk Deli opened, and we attended the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party since 2019, plus more. In addition to new things to see and do, there’s almost always something new to learn about Disney World, as well. So, without further ado, let’s get into the biggest things we learned at Disney World in August.
When it comes to food, we’ve had quite an exciting month.
Snow White Mini Petit Cake
Not only have we been able to start trying all the Halloween treats in Disney World, but we also got to attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. PLUS, we also got try out some princess-themed treats for World Princess week. ALL the food. However, August also brought some changes to Disney World restaurant menus.
