food IS a theme park
OK, Disney fans. Going on vacation? Need a new park bag? You’ve come to the right place!
We love our Loungeflys!
Who wants to go shopping? Even if you’re just (virtually) window shopping, we have a fun batch of Disney Loungefly bags to show you. From Disney princesses to classic Disney characters, there’s a Loungefly bag for everyone. Let’s have some fun, come along with us!
When we say we’re nerds for Disney here at Disney Food Blog, we mean it. In fact, we’re so nerdy for Disney that we keep track of prices of all Disney World food so we can see increases (and decreases, but hey, that isn’t too common).
EPCOT
We are sorry to report that two EPCOT spots have been hit with the “price increase bug,” so your next meal might be a bit more expensive.
It’s the end of an era at Disney World. The phased closure of the Grand Avenue area — home of The Muppets — has begun.
Muppets Courtyard in Hollywood Studios
Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano closed its doors on May 10th, and on June 7th, both Muppet*Vision 3D and PizzeRizzo will permanently close as well, marking the final days of the Muppets Courtyard. While we’re dreading seeing those pesky Disney construction walls again, we are excited about bringing Monsters, Inc. to this area. But, one very lucky group will get to be the last ones to experience the area and what it still has to offer!
While the Magic Kingdom is chock-full of delicious snacks and treats, one of our favorite Disney World treats is available just down the Monorail Loop at the Grand Floridian!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
The snack in question is available at the resort’s Gasparilla Island Grill. While the restaurant offers a variety of entrees for lunch and dinner, including artisan burgers, flatbreads and sandwiches, our focus today is on something of a much sweeter variety.
Over in Epic Universe, you’ve got dozens of new food stalls, restaurants, bars, and everything in between to check out. We’re making it our mission to try them all and help you decide what’s worth it for your first trip to Epic Universe!
Dark Universe
In Dark Universe, near the Burning Blade Tavern, you’ll find DeLacey’s Cottage. This is a quick service spot with a limited menu, and we figured it was finally time to try one of the more savory items we’ve had our eyes on. However, this snack might be a little different from what we were expecting.
We hope you brought an EPIC appetite to this review!
Mead Hall inside Isle of Berk at Epic Universe
We’re BACK at Mead Hall inside the Isle of Berk at Epic Universe to see what they’re cookin’ up on the kids menu, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to this BRAND-NEW theme park?! Find out here!
Let’s be real — planning a Disney World vacation takes enough strategic thinking without adding weather wildcards into the mix. But with 2024’s record-breaking hurricane season behind us, and forecasters predicting an active 2025 season according to CBS News, those of us planning trips during hurricane season need to approach things differently.
Rainy day at Magic Kingdom
The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season will take place from June through November. We’ve experienced both sides of the Disney hurricane equation — the perfectly sunny trip where the only water we encountered was at our hotel pool, and the vacation where we watched Cast Members sandbag storefronts before a hurricane. Being prepared is the difference between a great trip and a disaster. [Read more…]
When it comes to Disney characters, some are seriously underrepresented on merchandise.
Hi Daisy!
Even some of the Sensational Six — Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and Pluto — don’t have as many souvenir options as you might think. That’s why we’re so excited that a NEW Daisy Duck Loungefly collection just dropped online at the Disney Store. Let’s check it out!
Marvel’s latest film Thunderbolts* is being hailed by many critics and fans as a “return to form” for the once-prolific hit-making studio.

If you’re waiting for the film’s Disney+ debut to check it out, we think we know roughly when the film might debut on the streamer.
We’ll be the first to admit that most members of our team aren’t very thrilled when Disney announces another live-action film or remake.

Sure, we’ve seen some decent ones in the past, but several of them end up being flops, and we wonder why Disney keeps doing them. When Disney announced they’d be doing a live-action remake of one of our childhood favorites, Lilo & Stitch, we were TERRIFIED. Although the marketing has been hilarious, fans weren’t 100% sure the movie would deliver…but based on recent reviews, that is far from the case!
