food IS a theme park

While we’ve seen the Arendelle Aqua treats around the parks, the newest dessert blowing into Disney World is almost as sweet as the Arendelle sisters themselves!
Whenever a new land opens at Walt Disney World, the hype is always extremely real. But we all know that like anything else, that excitement can flicker out pretty quickly (AKA any YA novel fandom).
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run in Disney World
The question is: how do you test if a land is a hit in Disney after it opens? It’s not only its initial popularity that keeps it high on the list but the continual visits from guests, how long the wait times are, and even what’s inside the land itself (still not over the Viewmaster slides in Toy Story Land tbh). And the differences between Pandora’s opening in 2017 and Galaxy’s Edge’s opening this year seem to show — at least anecdotally — that the two don’t stack up very similarly in terms of overall popularity.
Disney’s Swan and Dolphin Resorts have always had some pretty cool places to grab a bite and relax. There is Swan’s Java Bar and Dolphin’s Fuel for those in need of a quick caffeine fix. There’s Dolphin’s Picabu, which is a 24-hour grab and go spot where you can snag a pick-me-up at any hour of the day.

Now Disney’s Swan has just opened its newest spot to kick back and ease into your evening — Chill!

Welcome back to Old Key West!
Old Key West Resort
It’s been a while since we took a stroll around this beautiful resort! We spied plant-based menu changes, Flavors of Fall beverages, and some cute resort merch! Let’s get started!
With WonderFall Flavors happening in Disney Springs right now, it hasn’t been too hard to scare up some tasty seasonal grub at Disney World lately.
Vivoli il Gelato
But now we’ve just spotted a new apparition on the menu at Vivoli il Gelato… and it might just be the nuttiest ghost we’ve ever seen!
Sure you could get a Sweet Poison or Witches Brew at Hollywood Studios right now, or an Autumn Smash at Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar for WonderFall Flavors currently happening at Disney Springs…
Gurgling Suitcase Libations & Spirits
…OR you could take a trip off the beaten path to try out this little-known Disney World watering hole for its incredible-looking fall cocktails!

RED ALERT! A favorite boozy milkshake of ours has vanished from the face of the EARTH!!
Trilo Bites
We learned of its disappearance when we visited Trilo-Bites in Disney’s Animal Kingdom today and didn’t see it on their menu. While it might be too soon to tell if the Smokey Bones Milkshake has gone extinct, the new shake we found on Trilo-Bite’s menu isn’t really doing it for us!
