3 Disney World Restaurants That Need to Be Boarded Up and Never Spoken Of Again

Not every Walt Disney World restaurant is created equal.

Inside the sandwich

Walt Disney World offers a WIDE range of culinary options, from quick service comfort food all the way to a MICHELIN star restaurant. However, there are some Disney World restaurants that — to put it mildly — we feel like could disappear tomorrow and few would miss them. That doesn’t necessarily mean their food is bad either – though food quality does play a role – but it could also simply be that they’re redundant, or well past their cultural expiration date.

One of Our FAVORITE Disney World Restaurants Just Added a SPECIAL Brunch Option, But There’s a Catch

By Brian Delpozo Leave a Comment

One of Disney Springs‘ most popular restaurants is offering Memorial Day Brunch!

Chef Art Smith himself.

Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ has quickly become a favorite at Disney Springs thanks to its homestyle menu, which pays homage to “Florida’s rich agricultural heritage by highlighting local ingredients and farm-to-table cuisine.” One of the establishment’s most beloved offerings is the Southern Brunch offered on weekends from 9AM-1PM. Reservations often fill up quickly, however, next week there’ll be an EXTRA shot at grabbing one…

REVIEW: I Cannot Emphasize This Enough. Please Go to Disney World And Get This AS SOON AS YOU CAN.

By Jasmine Kocon 1 Comment

The Disney World parks have some phenomenal food, there’s no denying it, but you can never discredit what you might find at the hotels around the resort!

Pop Century Resort

Each Disney World hotel offers a variety of food items. Some are great and some you might want to avoid. But when it comes to breakfast foods, snacks, and desserts, each hotel has something worth trying. We noticed that two Disney World hotels have started offering new filled croissants, so of course, we HAD to go give them a try!

The Essential Rule You Need To Know Before You Stay at Disney World’s Value Hotels

By Robin Burks 1 Comment

We get the appeal of Disney World’s value hotels, and it’s not just about the fact that these are the cheapest hotels on Disney World property.

Disney’s Pop Century Resort

For example, two value hotels actually have a Skyliner station, making transportation a lot more convenient. We also love the over-the-top theming at the value hotels — and we would argue that we sometimes think Disney World’s deluxe hotels are boring because they don’t have that theming. However, let’s talk about food. There’s a rule we need to tell you about when it comes to eating at Disney World’s value hotels.

By Robin Burks Leave a Comment

Is there any bar more iconic than Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar?

Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar

We’ve been to pretty much every bar all over Disneyland, and although some remain popular, like Oga’s Cantina in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland, as well as the Carthay Circle Lounge and Lamplight Lounge in California Adventure, we’ll still go to Trader Sam’s at the Disneyland Hotel every chance we get. So when we learned that Trader Sam’s was getting a new menu (because, hey, the food is good here, too!), we jumped at the opportunity to revisit our favorite Disneyland bar.

REVIEW: Why We Would Travel All the Way to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge for a Sandwich

By Jordan-Paige Sudduth 5 Comments

While we love eating in the Disney World parks, there are tons of incredible dining options at Disney World hotels too!

Roaring Fork

Over at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, you’ll find Roaring Fork, a quick-service restaurant home to lots of hearty offerings. You’ll find a variety of hearty entrees and counter service basics (along with grab-and-go options) for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a serene atmosphere, with seating both indoors and out. We heard there were some new sandwiches available on the menu, so you know we had to head over and try them!

Did You Know About This EXCLUSIVE Disney Cruise Line Dining Experience?

By Brian Delpozo 1 Comment

A new(ish) upscale experience has debuted on the Disney Cruise Line.

Many longtime Disney Cruise Line guests are familiar with Palo, the steakhouses present aboard the Magic, Dream, Fantasy, Wish, and Wonder. Unlike the rotational dining options on these ships, a Palo meal is not included in a Disney Cruise package and is instead an upcharge option requiring a separate reservation. Despite this, the steakhouse is one of the line’s most popular, adults-only offerings. Now, Disney’s added even more to it.

The One Restaurant You Need to Rope Drop in EPCOT

By Brianna LeCompte 3 Comments

For most people, rope-dropping a Disney World park means making a beeline for a popular ride. But in EPCOT, we’ve got a surprising spot at the top of our priority list!

France Pavilion

In Disney terminology “rope-dropping” means being at the park right when it opens. Usually, guests at the park for rope drop will use this time to head straight for one of the most popular rides, with the hope of getting in line before the wait times climb super high. But hear us out — in EPCOT, there’s a restaurant you might want to rope drop instead of an attraction!
