food IS a theme park
Just a few days ago, we told you about the Mickey Balloon Popcorn Bucket that finally arrived at Walt Disney World (after reaching legendary status at Disneyland!)

Interesting! Disney has just announced a FREE DINING FOR KIDS package for most nights from May 28-August 30, 2018!
Receive a FREE dining plan for kids (ages 3 to 9) when you buy a non-discounted 3-night/3-day Magic Your Way package for you and your child (or children)! Magic Your Way packages include a room at a select Disney Resort, theme park tickets, and a Disney Dining Plan.
Don’t forget! Toy Story Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios opens on June 30, 2018, so this summer is a great time to grab the kids and go on a Disney World vacation!!
Is it June 30 yet?!
Here are the specifics…
Are you ready to become part of a BIGGER UNIVERSE? Because Disney — together with Marvel Studios and Marvel Themed Entertainment — is developing three news areas that “will champion the next generation of Super Heroes.” New heroic experiences are on the way to Disneyland Paris, Hong Kong Disneyland, and DISNEYLAND RESORT in California!
Disneyland Resort will debut an entirely new Super Hero-themed land in 2020, with further anticipated experiences beyond that.

As part of the evolution of Disney California Adventure park, the transformation will result in a “completely immersive Super Hero universe,” bringing together The Guardians of the Galaxy, Spider-Man, and the Avengers. The new land will be anchored by the Guardians of the Galaxy — Mission: BREAKOUT! attraction, in the current “a bug’s land” area.
Note that “a bug’s land” will close entirely in late summer to make way for this new land. See ya later Chew-Chew Train!
Editor’s Note: We’ll be updating this post regularly as we learn more about how specialty, non-alcoholic drinks are being classified at Walt Disney World. If you’ve had experience with the plan, please comment below so we can add it to the post! Thanks, Disney food friends!
When the 2018 Disney Dining Plan details were released last June, many guests were excited to discover that alcoholic drinks would be included. For those who like to try adult beverages at Walt Disney World, this was an immediate way to bump up the value of the Disney Dining Plan!
But what about those guests who choose not to drink alcohol or who are under 21 years old (but still required to pay the adult price)? How can they maximize the 2018 Disney Dining Plan by imbibing in “specialty beverages” promised by the new DDP?
at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is the place to go for ice cream in Fantasyland. Located adjacent to Friar’s Nook — where you can currently find Loaded Tots! — Storybook Treats serves up hot fudge sundaes, strawberry sundaes, and floats to guests looking for cool snack.

Guests at Disney World’s Caribbean Beach Resort can now enjoy a brand new Counter Service option with Spyglass Grill!

Located by the pool in the Trinidad South section of the Resort, this walk-up window is serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
The menu options focus on popular quick service eats, but with an added infusion of Caribbean flavors. For instance, breakfast choices include Cream Cheese and Guava-stuffed French Toast with strawberry guava syrup and Pineapple-Banana Pancakes. And the Breakfast Cuban is made with ham, pulled pork, egg, and Swiss cheese.
So…a poutine cloud apparently burst over Orlando and now you can get varieties of this relatively obscure French Canadian pub grub delicacy pretty much everywhere in Disney World. There’s even a dining spot completely dedicated to poutine.
The dish traditionally consists of French fries covered in cheese curds and brown gravy, and Canadians will cheerfully tell you that NONE of the dishes below qualify. Yet they’re called Poutine on the menu, and since we love french fries with stuff piled on top of them, we’re happy to tally them up for you!
Oh, and here’s some real Canadian poutine for reference.
