food IS a theme park
As the Disney company’s environmental initiatives move forward, were seeing more and more changes in regards to single-use plastics across Disney destinations.
Paper Straw at Joffrey’s Coffee Kiosks
For instance, Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea kiosks around Walt Disney World are now serving up their iced coffee beverages with paper straws, as is the case at the Joffrey’s kiosk in Epcot’s Future World. [Read more…]
Each time we visit Disneyland we see more signs of the resort moving towards the elimination of single-use plastic straws. Last week we saw the first paper straws in Disneyland Park at Hungry Bear Restaurant.
Paper Straws at Hungry Bear Restaurant
This week we found paper straws at many more of Disneyland’s counter service locations, including Stage Door Cafe, Rancho Del Zocalo, and Galactic Grill. Just a few weeks ago two of these locations were still using plastic straws and lids.
An after-hours event took place last night for Disneyland Cast Members. The OCRegister has shared images (collected via social media) and info from the event which revealed the costumes for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge!
While there will be Storm Troopers, droids, and alien species walking around Planet Batuu, there will also be uniformed Cast Members playing their roles. Here is a look at the images, with credit to the posters in the caption:

Try Everything Daily shares that “Cast Members who work in the village will have the ability to ‘mix-n-match’ from four different tops and five different bottoms, as well as accessories (for the first time ever),” and discusses how that ability to customize will add a level of authenticity to the storyline of Black Spire Outpost.
Disneyland President Josh D-Amaro (@joshdamaro) shred the image above and also shared a nametag reveal on Instagram, which showed that names will be both in English and Aurebesh. [Read more…]

There are so many ways to Get Your Ears On at the Disney Parks and we just found a delicious new way!
Royal Street Veranda
Royal St Veranda in New Orleans Square is a simple walk-up window with a few tables but you will almost always find a long line (So don’t forget to use Mobile Ordering.) It’s known mostly for its hearty bread bowls. But to me this spot is all about the fritters!
Hello from Asia in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! We got so excited seeing Kevin from Up that we worked up an appetite!
Kevin from UP is now in Animal Kingdom!
It’s been a while since we’ve stopped at Yak & Yeti Local Food Cafes, so we decided to swing by for a quick lunch.
Yak & Yeti Local Foods Cafe
As, the menu suggests, Yak & Yeti features “tasty food,” which, in this case, is Asian cuisine. One of the best things about this spot is the large portions — you certainly get a good bang for your buck. (or dining plan!)
Yak & Yeti Menu
We decided to go for the Teriyaki Beef Bowl and Vegetable Tikka Masala. We also had to stop by the awesome condiment cart, which truly is one of the best reasons to dine here. There’s a large and unique variety of sauces — from soy sauce to duck sauce.
Get ready for Mardi Gras! House of Blues Restaurant & Bar in Disney Springs is serving up New Orleans dishes such as a Steak Po’ Boy made just for Mardi Gras.
