Disneyland Resort is going all-in for holiday eats and drinks
, and that extends beyond kiosks, snacks, and quick service. In fact, table service restaurants and lounges are also feeling the holiday spirit — and in this case, that means spirits for us!
Carthay Circle Restaurant and 1901 Lounge (exclusive lounge for Club 33 members) are offering The Sleigh Ride, a perfectly nice drink that comes with a totally killer accessory: a Mickey Snowflake Glowcube!

We’re loving the abundant (and we mean abundant — three snack checklists worth!) holiday eats and drinks at Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park. We found the brand new Sugar Plum Churro at the snack cart by Haunted Mansion!

Salt & Straw Handmade Ice Cream
in Disneyland’s Downtown Disney is a small-batch ice creamery serving up some seriously provocative and surprising flavors.

We get a ton of questions about allergens here at the DFB, and we know lots of you will be thrilled with the latest news from the online menus on DisneyWorld.com and Disneyland.com.
Allergy-friendly menus are now ONLINE
Guests can now view allergy-specific menus for some of Disney World’s and Disneyland’s restaurants online — and that means you can get a better idea of what’s safe to eat before you even arrive for your vacation!

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!
OK, we just told you about an off-the-menu, secret Bell Burger loaded with lobster over at Liberty Tree Tavern. And today we’ve got another specialty burger to share with you! …are you ready for a SPAM BURGER?!? We’re taking you over to Capt. Cooks at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort for this sweet treat.
