Staff and Regular Contributors

These are the people who have dedicated many hours of their time to writing, taking photographs for the blog, scouring news feeds, working behind the scenes, and more.

AJ Wolfe
AJ has been a Disney parks fan since her first trip to Disney World as a wee one. Now she can’t ever decide between Disneyland and Disney World, and luckily lives in Texas, equidistant between her two favorite places. Her focus on Disney food started during a trip while in graduate school, when she was more excited about choosing restaurants than choosing rides. Today, she owns, writes, and edits the Disney Food Blog. You can contact AJ here about contributing or advertising with the blog.

Kim LaPaglia
Kimberly LaPaglia is Wonder Woman at the DFB, drafting and writing posts and resource pages, managing behind the scenes, and leaping tall buildings in a single bound. She is an inaugural WDW Moms Panelist and served as the Disney Cruise Line specialist during her second term on the panel. As a life-long Disney fan, Kim has ventured to WDW as a honeymooner, mom and “tour guide” to extended family. Kim shares some of her Disney adventures at Disney Journeys.

While on Disney vacations, Kim seeks out dining options to please the picky taste buds of her family, including her 12 year old son, Nicolas. She really wishes that Disney would serve tasty slices of pizza at counter-service locations and more kid-friendly options at table-service restaurants!

John Sacchieri
John Saccheri (aka Chef Big Fat Panda) writes the Chef Big Fat Panda DIY Disney column for The Disney Food Blog, which focuses on step-by-step photos and instructions on how to make Disney recipes at home! For him, combining Disney with cooking is nothing short of pure bliss!

Erin Foster
Erin Foster writes the Disney Food for Families column, focusing on topics related to dining with children during your Disney vacation. Erin is a charter member of the Walt Disney World Moms Panel. She has answered over 7,500 guest questions about every aspect of Walt Disney World, but her favorite questions are those about dining. Her Disney bucket list includes eating at every restaurant at Walt Disney World — and she’s almost there. Assisting her with this tasty project are her husband Jeff and her three teen/tween daughters.

Heather Sievers
Heather Sievers writes the Dining in Disneyland column for the Disney Food Blog, focusing on all things edible in Disneyland Resort. As a lover of all things Disney (except character clothing, sorry!), a former elementary school teacher (I might go back, someday…), a mom (2 boys), a business owner (timeoutspots.com), and a blogger, she wears many hats and loves them all. She and her husband have had Disneyland annual passes since college and their 2 boys, ages 6.5 and 9, have been going to Disneyland since birth, making them seasoned pros too! One of their favorite things to do is head to Disneyland for dinner — yep, just dinner. Well, and maybe one ride plus a Mickey Bar. YUM!

Jessica Kramer-Teheran
Jessica is a Disney parks enthusiast, fashion follower, amateur photographer, animal lover, and coveter of cupcakes. Also a DVC member! Her expertise with Disney food is critical to the Disney Food Blog, as she drafts many of our restaurant reference pages.

Cody Smith
A major Disney fan living in Florida and owner of the popular Global Disney Pinvestigation blog, Cody writes guest reviews, provides up-to-date photographs, and helps behind the scenes for the Disney Food Blog.

Sarah Holodick
Lucky enough to live just a few miles from Disney World, Sarah began contributing food reviews to Disney Food Blog in early 2010. In addition to sending her reviews and photos from special events, new restaurant openings, and tried and true Disney restaurants, Sarah has also contributed generously to our coverage of the Disney Dream cruise ship. (She’s also been nice enough to join me as part of the Mission:Space Orange Team, followed quickly by a visit to the Mexico Margarita kiosk…and how many people can you do THAT with?)
