food IS a theme park
Please, Disney! Stop with the closures! We can’t take any more!
Mickey waffle with chicken? Yes, please!
Well, we might just have to. One of the restaurants we really love to grab breakfast and lunch at is closing down awhile, and we’re pretty bummed.
It’s been an exciting week for Disney World food. Although we’re not QUITE done with the EPCOT Festival of the Arts, we’ve already received a lot of BIG details about the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival, including a list of food booths and full menus for each booth!
Shrimp N’ Grits from House of Blues
However, we also saw some regular Disney World restaurants change their menus this week. So let’s take a closer look at these changes.
Well, it’s been quite a week, hasn’t it? Disney World just threw a ton of announcements at us, including details about price increases for tickets, Annual Passes, and more.
The Monster Mash-tini at eet by Maneet Chauhan in Disney Springs
Pretty much EVERY Disney World restaurant also saw price increases this week, but in addition to that, we noticed some other menu updates.
You know what we love to do? We love to eat! It makes sense, being that “Food” is our middle name. We also love checking out new Disney World dining spots, as well as revisiting old favorites (and y’all, the list of our favorites is long).
Mickey waffle with fried chicken? Yes, please!
Speaking of revisiting old faves, the Grand Floridian Cafe at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is often underrated, but we just popped in to have some brunch there because it’s been a hot minute since we had our beloved Buttermilk-fried Chicken and Waffle.
Wow…what a week in Disney World. We just got the news that the seasonal foodie celebration, Flavors of Florida, will start soon, and we’re readying our tastebuds for that.
Kakamora Delight
However, we’ve also been munching on some Stitch-themed treats to celebrate the release of the live-action Lilo & Stitch movie, while enjoying a new snack in EPCOT that’s served in a coconut shell (because why not?). In the meantime, we’ve been looking over Disney World restaurant menus, so we can keep you updated on how restaurants are changing. So let’s see what’s changed this week!
Happy New Year! It’s 2025, and a LOT of exciting things are coming to Disney World this year.
Trader Sam’s Tahitian Torch
We’ve got new shows, a new nighttime parade, new lands beginning construction, and SO MUCH MORE to look forward to. We’ve even got a few new dining spots, including a Pirates of the Caribbean tavern and a Spaceship Earth lounge. However, now that the New Year has started, Disney World has been busy adjusting some of its existing restaurant menus, so let’s see what’s changed this week.
So it’s been a bit of a quiet week — at least when it comes to food — in Disney World.
Ice cream in EPCOT
But that’s okay because we’ve been busy exploring Disney’s newest hotel expansion, Island Tower at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. One of the BEST parts of exploring this new property, though, was getting a chance to eat at Wailulu Bar & Grill, the tower’s quick-service restaurant — let’s just say we were impressed (you can read the full review here). However, other Disney World restaurants had some changes this week, so let’s see what’s been updated.
It’s another spooky week in Disney World, celebrating all things Halloween, as well as all things EPCOT Food & Wine Festival.
Tacos at La Hacienda de San Angel
We were recently reunited with one of our favorite Halloween treats, We also got a chance to try out the Pumpkin Butter Cocktail at Narcoossee’s (y’all, we’ve been talking about that one for DAYS). Disney also released a massive list of new foods coming to Disney World for Hispanic and Latin Heritage Month — and our tummies are READY! In the meantime, we’ve been keeping an eye on those Disney World restaurant menus, as we do, and we’ve noticed a few changes.
Disney World brunch 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 brunch dining on property!
Mickey and Minnie Waffles
If you’re one of those Disney vacation folks who thinks breakfast is the most IMPORTANT meal of the day, then you’ve come to the right place. But even if you’re not big on the breakfast scene, stick around. 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 most unique offerings (that may change the way you look at brunch foods entirely).
April is winding down in Disney World and you know that soon, it’s GONNA’ BE MAY (sorry, couldn’t resist).
Curry Chickpea Salad
It’s been a busy week, though. We got the dates for the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival and it looks like the festival is going back to an August start, something we haven’t seen since 2019. While we wait for menus to be released for the festival, though, we’re checking out new plant-based burgers, Spiked Coffee, and more. We’re also keeping an eye out for menu changes at Disney World restaurants.
