With the recent Walt Disney World Facebook announcement of a Disney food experience coming to London, United Kingdom residents chimed in on their favorite Walt Disney World eats and treats.
We don’t know if this is just an update or an extension of the Disney Cafe at Harrod’s, or if this will be a completely new experience.
While Disney has only hinted at this new “experience” on their Facebook page (see the caption below), we will keep our readers updated with any future news. 😉

Inside the mysterious Beast’s Castle, Be Our Guest Restaurant at Magic Kingdom continues to be an uber-popular reservation for Walt Disney World diners. Today, Beth Wesesky shares a guest review of the Croque Madame and other breakfast items.
I was deep in the throes of vacation planning for our upcoming trip to Walt Disney World; obsessively marking our itinerary on my calendar down to the minute (we all do that, right?!), when I received an email from My Disney Experience, requesting that we pre-order our meals for our breakfast Advance Dining Reservation (ADR) at Be Our Guest Restaurant (BOG). OK, so if you’re like me, you know how COOL it is to check out all of the options ahead of time and add just one more completed task to your plans, so of course, I jumped at the chance! That’s when I noticed something that I hadn’t seen before in all of my neurotic menu-checking and review reading – a NEW entrée option for breakfast!
The “Croque Madame” is described as an “Open-faced Ham Sandwich topped with a Fried Egg, Gruyere Cheese, and Béchamel served with Fresh Fruit and a selection of pastries”. It sounded wonderful, and I’m not even a big Swiss cheese fan! I told my hubby and son about the new option, and they BOTH chose it for their entrée. In my effort to be more “continental,” I chose the Assorted Cured Meats and Cheese for my entrée (how “European” of me!).
The morning of our 8:45AM ADR, which also happened to correspond with morning Extra Magic Hours at Magic Kingdom (so no early entry for us…boo!), we piled on the Resort bus from Pop Century and headed to the Happiest Place on Earth! [Read more…]

I never miss an opportunity to relax at the Territory Lounge at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge in Walt Disney World.
Inside, you’ll find a welcoming atmosphere of dark woods and low lantern lighting. Comfortable seating in armchairs and on couches is always in demand, and round tables make a great conversation area for families.
And now, we can stop by for breakfast at the new Coffee Shop at Territory Lounge from 7-11AM daily.

DFB Reader Wendy Hofmann sent us this mini-review of an exquisite pineapple cupcake all the way from Disney’s Aulani resort in Hawai’i. Aloha!
We are on vacation at Aulani this week, and found this delicious cupcake that needs to be added to the Disney Food Blog’s cupcake crawl, even if it’s 5000+ miles away from WDW!
This is the pineapple macadamia nut cupcake from Mama’s Snack Shack.
