food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Entrance
And, we’ve got plenty of merchandise and food updates to share with you, so let’s dive right on in!
When you’re off on a planet in a galaxy far, far away, sometimes you need a l’il something to eat.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
After all, piloting the Millennium Falcon and fighting the First Order is a lot of work! While the Ronto Wrap gets a ton of hype, the dining anchor (since there are more options) of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo, a fast-casual counter-service restaurant themed to a delivery shuttle that ships goods on and off the planet of Batuu.
Things have been a little wonky when it comes to dining in Disney World today.
Pinocchio Village House Mobile Order Signs
This morning, we noticed that Mobile Order was unavailable on the My Disney Experience app. We’ve been keeping an eye on how different quick service restaurants have handled the interruption today, but now it looks like the technical difficulties have been resolved.
Mobile Order has been a pretty BIG deal in a reopened Disney World.
Mobile Order signs at Sunshine Seasons
With the global health crisis prompting Disney to reduce contact between guests and Cast Members, Mobile Order has been heavily encouraged at quick-service dining locations in and out of the parks in order to reduce crowding and to limit guest contact. Today, Mobile Order is temporarily unavailable, so we’re taking a look at how restaurants are handling it.
We need to form a calming circle STAT because we’re a little too excited about the latest Starbucks hack we’re bringing you for Halloween time!
It’s just a bunch of Hocus Pocus!
Hocus Pocus is a staple when it comes to our spooky season festivities. And, it’s pretty obvious that Disney treasures it (even more than Sarah’s lucky rat tail) since merchandise has popped up all around the parks already. As you get ready to listen to “I Put a Spell on You” on repeat during your next trip to Starbucks, you might want to bring three of your best friends or sistaaahhs to grab THREE Hocus Pocus-themed drinks this Halloween season!
The Triple Decker Garlic Toast Pulled Pork Sandwich wasn’t the only new menu item we found in EPCOT today!
The Land Crusher
Between the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival and all of the new Halloween snacks around Disney World, there’s been no shortage of awesome eats for us to try lately! But when we saw a new treat on the menu at Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue, we figured we could make room for dessert!
Even though we’ve been seriously enjoying ALL of the amazing snacks from the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, we can’t forget that there are several other spots to grab a meal or a special treat around EPCOT outside of the festival.
The Land Pavilion
So, today we resisted the temptation to eat our way around the world, and instead made our way over to The Land pavilion to see what new food we could find.
We still fondly look back on the days we would hide our Halloween candy so we could savor it long after trick-or-treating. But, nowadays we’d rather just indulge on all the spooky snacks and sips that have been popping up in Disney World instead! 😉
Halloween Treats at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club
Although pumpkin spice and even poison apples have practically been the poster children for Halloween treats in the parks, there’s something just so nostalgic about candy corn this time of the year. And Disney’s been serving up looks with Candy Corn Witch Ears and mixing up candy corn treats in the parks and resorts for guests of all ages to enjoy!
BOO!! Err, I mean… HELLO from Disney World’s Magic Kingdom!!
Court Jester Mickey and Knight Donald
THIS is where Halloween is in FULL SWING… and the gang’s ALL HERE — and in their festive best — to celebrate! We’re checking out what’s NEW in the park (with help from some of our best Disney pals!), and we hope you’ll join us along the way for even more festive fall fun!
Oh, and when we say “the gang’s all here…” [Read more…]
We’ve eaten our way around the world (many times) at EPCOT, but thankfully calories don’t count at Disney (right?).
EPCOT
Well, if you’re like us and you’re still waiting for some of those closed restaurants in Disney World to reopen (so you can eat even MORE food), then you’ll be excited to hear that one quick-service spot in EPCOT was open this past weekend and should be available when you visit on the weekends.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
