food IS a theme park
The holidays are in full effect at Disney Parks on both coasts, and Disney California Adventure Park’s Flo’s V-8 Cafe is in on the action with a trio of holiday-specific menu items.

Calling all gingerbread lovers!
Today we’re bringing you one of the latest holiday offerings at Schmoozies in Disney California Adventure as part of the holiday eats around Disneyland Resort. You won’t want to miss this one!
New Gingerbread Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich at Schmoozies!
Schmoozies in Hollywood Land just debuted a tasty selection of Christmas-inspired treats and the Gingerbread Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich gets two thumbs up. It’s one of four new seasonal treats added to their menu during Disney’s Festival of the Holidays happening now at Disney California Adventure.
Schmoozies in Disney California Adventure is known for serving up some doozies!

And its current specialty menu for the Holidays at Disneyland Resort is no exception. I stopped by today while I’m in Disneyland for the Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure. [Read more…]
OF COURSE you knew it was National Nacho Day today, right?!? Great. Now that we’ve got that established, it’s time to DIG IN! Over at the Magic Kingdom, we’re seeing two brand new options on counter service menus.
Nacho TIME!
Y’all THIS IS NOT A DRILL. We found the best holiday popcorn bucket of the season so far over in Disney’s Hollywood Studios for Flurry of Fun — A Santa Alien Bucket!

Yes, that’s right, he’s the cutest. EVER.
OK, it’s no secret that Disney World is a BUSY place during the holiday season, and New Year’s Eve is a MADHOUSE. There are plenty of events happening already, but most of them are already sold out…or well on their way to being sold out.
Happily Ever After
But you’re in luck! Today we’ve got a new New Year’s Eve bash to add to the agenda, and it sounds like a great one! Say hello to the Fort Wilderness New Year’s Eve Beach Dessert Party!
Epcot’s World Showcase at Walt Disney World
is home to so many interesting restaurants serving high-quality food from around the (actual) world that it can be hard to decide which to choose.
And frankly, Nine Dragons in the China Pavilion has been one that we’ve decided to skip much of the time. The setting is lovely and worth exploring, but in the past, the food has been lackluster, no better than most of the Americanized Chinese restaurants found in strip malls around the country.
But we give second chances (and third and fourth and fifth) here at the DFB, so I made a reservation and hoped for something to love in this table service spot. And while I won’t say Nine Dragons has clawed its way up too far in the rankings of table service restaurants at Epcot, I will say that my most recent visit was the best I’ve had here.
While I encourage you to take that with a grain of salt, I also want to acknowledge that plenty of you do enjoy eating here, and I will always cling to optimism that even the least palatable of Walt Disney World dining locations will be in a constant state of flux, striving for better.
But let’s start with what we already love about Nine Dragons: its magical decor and warm atmosphere.
Welcome to Nine Dragons!
Yesterday, we brought you news about the menus for the Disney Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure kicking off on November 9th in Disneyland Resort.

YAY! In addition to it being suddenly Christmas in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, we also get to dig into a brand new snack at Storybook Treats — Tink’s Pixie Dusted Cone!

This is the next snack in line using the new lime dole whip at Storybook Treats. First we had the Peter Pan Float, which is still there on the menu; and next it was the Maleficent Cone, which has its last day on the menu today.
