food IS a theme park
Dining in Disneyland columnist Heather Sievers has an awesome review of a Disney food location that many of us haven’t seen…
When most people hear the word Disney, they don’t think of Hollywood. However, located right across the street from Grauman’s (aka Mann’s) Chinese Theatre, there is a very fun place that many Disney fans may have not had a chance to visit.
Disney’s Soda Fountain & Studio Store is conveniently connected to [Read more…]

Stay tuned to see more tips, tricks, and recipes from Kathie about going Vegetarian in Disney!
Oscar's Choice: The Cafe Scramble
Being a Disney geek, I naturally follow the official Disney Parks Blog. Imagine my delight when one of this past week’s posts combined some of my favorite things: Disney & Food. And, not just anything to do with food, but a vegetarian recipe that I could make at home to give me a little “Disney Fix” in the middle of a cold and snowy winter!
The post I’m referring to was for “Oscar’s Potatoes” by a favorite Disney foodie of mine: [Read more…]

Clearly Disney food is not only a popular topic with park guests, but also with the folks at the Disney Merchandise Department.

Lords and Ladies of the Kingdom, we welcome you to…Cinderella Castle!!!
Admittedly, I couldn’t wait to go back to the castle — in the middle of Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom — to dine. I’d never had breakfast here (not since I was a small fry, at least), and I was downright giddy! I don’t care how old you are, it’s just plain rad to go inside the castle where nobody else (unless they have a reservation, too, of course) gets to go. Seriously. Rad.
So I made the reservation the minute our 180-day Advanced Dining Reservation Window opened up (yep — this is one of the toughest reservations to get, so book early), gave them my credit card number (need to lock this one in with a card number — call in advance to cancel, or you’ll be charged), and started counting down the days…
There are several magical things that happen when you book an early breakfast reservation at Cinderella’s Royal Table:
Last week, we highlighted a few of Disneyland’s Valentine’s Day treats, and today we’ve got a few from Disney World! I found these at the Main Street Confectionery in the Magic Kingdom.
I loved these cupcakes, complete with heart-shaped sprinkles, frosting “petals,” and frosting roses!

Thanks to Lynleigh Cooper for reviewing her experience at the Victoria & Albert’s Chef’s Table!
When my uncle first told me he would be taking my cousin and me to the Chef’s Table at Victoria and Albert’s, I was a little apprehensive. My taste buds are certainly not adventurous, and I rarely ever experience “fine dining.” I’m a steak and potatoes kind of girl through and through, and I certainly didn’t want my uncle to pay so much for a meal I would eat very little of. Fortunately, I had nothing to worry about, as The Chef’s Table turned out to be the best dining experience I’ve ever had.
Victoria and Albert's Entrance
The one piece of advice I can give on booking the Chef’s Table is to call right when the lines open 180 days out. Work your other ADRs around this one; don’t lock yourself into one date if possible.
We arrived at about 5:15 to the resort and went directly to check in. (Valet parking is complementary for Chef’s Table guests, so no worries there!) And after being introduced to the maître d’hotel, we were escorted through [Read more…]
