food IS a theme park
When we’re at Disney World, one of our favorite ways to cool down is with an ice cream. And where’s a better place to do that than the iconic Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop at Disney Springs?
Ghirardelli Hot Fudge Sundae
Saturday, July 25th is National Hot Fudge Sundae Day, and to celebrate, Ghirardelli is offering half off hot fudge sundaes both at the Disney Springs location and nationwide!
Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby is now open at Downtown Disney, and it’s already super popular. Not only is it a brand-new, one-of-a-kind concept by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, but it’s every Disney fan’s dream, with an outdoor terrace featuring great views of the fireworks.

So it’s really no surprise that all reservations until the end of September were snatched up within 15 minutes of the booking launch. But if you also lost the OpenTable War trying to get a reservation there, then today is your lucky day. It just got easier to dine at The Carnaby!
A popular Disney Springs dessert shop is turning 10 years old! While Gideon’s Bakehouse only opened its Disney Springs location in 2021, the local chain started in 2016 at East End Market.

So to celebrate the special anniversary, Gideon’s Bakehouse is having some limited-edition baked goods and merch available exclusively at its East End location on Sunday, July 19th!
Lorcana is a super popular Disney-themed trading card game. Your favorite Disney heroes and villains are being attacked, and it’s up to you to save them! The game features iconic Disney characters like Mickey and Friends and princesses, but has expanded to include recent hits like Monsters, Inc. and Turning Red.
We love Lorcana!
But Lorcana is so popular that it’s causing chaos at in-person events. The Lorcana pre-release at Disney Springs yesterday was so popular that the police were called in for crowd control, and the hours-long line was so long that we saw someone ordering DoorDash to keep their spot. But somehow, the Lorcana pre-release in London, England, yesterday was even MORE crowded!
Here at Disney Food Blog, going to Disney World is one of our favorite things to do. We’re at Disney World almost all day, every day, 24/7, partly because it’s our job, and partly because we just love it!
But the one thing we don’t like about going to Disney World? Getting there! Traffic can be brutal. And we’re talking basically parked-on-the-road-for-45-minutes brutal. But Disney heard our pleas, because a brand-new road improvement at Disney World just fixed this annoying problem with a MAJOR change!
If you’re a Disney adult, then you likely have Disney+. But did you know that Disney+ subscribers get access to some exclusive perks just by having a subscription?

Universal Studios Hollywood is about to get a major upgrade with its brand-new, first-ever fully outdoor roller coaster, Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift. The ride was set to open on June 26th, but was then delayed until late summer.

Universal hasn’t announced an official reason for the delay, but it just debunked a widespread rumor about the postponement of Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift that gives us some hints.
Disney World has so many great resort options, but we keep going back to one hotel for spacious rooms, yummy food, and a major coastal vibe that we can’t get enough of. But no, it’s not the Polynesian – it’s Old Key West!
Disney’s Old Key West Resort
Disney’s Old Key West Resort is a deluxe villa resort themed after Florida’s most iconic coastal town, Key West. You’ll find an abundance of Key Lime Pie-themed treats along the resort’s lake. But our plans to grab dessert soon just got complicated by not one, but three refurbishments across the resort!
On a hot Disney World day, there’s nothing we love more than a refreshing, ice-cold DOLE Whip, which is why we love Swirls on the Water at Disney Springs! They have so many fun limited-edition DOLE Whip flavors to try.

So when we saw that they added not one, but four brand-new menu items for July, we had to run over to Disney Springs and try them!
If you’ve ever been to Disney World in the summer, then you know the weather is only two things: hot and rainy. After the major heatwave last week, Mother Nature is yet again headed for the House of Mouse with a potential tropical storm or depression.

A new storm system started forming off the coast of central Florida on Wednesday. According to the National Hurricane Center tracking it, there’s a much higher chance that the storm could become the season’s next tropical storm or depression!
