No matter when your last visit to Disney World was, chances are things are ALREADY different.
We’re in the parks every single day keeping up with it all — but no two days are alike! We decided to take a break from the parks recently (okay, not really) and head to the hotels to check out what was going on. So, let’s see what’s new at the Disney World Resort hotels!
Saratoga Springs Resort Food Updates
Backstretch Pool Bar
Ready for some Disney World snacks you technically don’t need to be fully clothed to eat?! The Backstretch Pool Bar at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort is serving up a few new dishes — including the Buffalo Chicken Nachos for $10.49.
These nachos are made with chips and are covered in blue cheese, blue cheese queso, shredded buffalo chicken, and chopped celery. The buffalo chicken was very fresh and the celery was refreshing and added an extra crunch! We really enjoyed these, but if you’re not a fan of blue cheese or spice, this likely isn’t for you.
We also tried the New York Style Hot Dog! This is a traditional Disney hot dog with New York-style onions, which gave it a kick and made it spicy! You can grab it for $9.49.
And finally, we tried the Isa Jacaranda Cone which is a special treat for Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month!
This is a blue vanilla soft-serve with a hurricane of fondant flowers and glitter on a green cake cone. Grab it for $6.49.
