food IS a theme park
Easter has arrived at Disney World, and there are so many new sweet treats to celebrate!
Painted Egg Whoopie Pie
We stopped by Disney’s Yacht Club resort to try their new Easter egg whoopie pie. It’s Easter in a dessert!
St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, and Disney Springs is the place you need to be!
St. Paddy’s at Raglan Road
Raglan Road is hosting The Mighty Festival once again this year, an annual tradition to celebrate the holiday, from March 13th-17th! The restaurant is going to be decked out in St. Patrick’s Day decor for the weekend and will be offering exclusive special dining options you can only get during the event. This is an event you MUST experience!
If you’ve ever planned a trip to Disney World, chances are you’ve at least looked into the Disney Dining Plan — Disney’s divisive meal credit offering. But if you’ve ever tried to find the same option for a trip at Disneyland in California, you’ve probably noticed something pretty quickly: It doesn’t exist.
Flo’s V-8 Cafe
Disney World’s Dining Plan has a couple of different options that allow you to prepay for meal and snack credits that can simply be allocated at an array of restaurants and food stands all over the resort. It is a useful vacation package add-on that many guests take advantage of during a vacation — so why exactly doesn’t Disneyland offer a Disney Dining Plan like Disney World does? The answer comes down to a few key differences between the two resorts — and once you understand them, it actually makes a lot of sense.
The 2026 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival has officially kicked off, and we were there on day one to get you all the food booth reviews to let you know what is worth your time and money (or Disney Dining Plan snack credits!)
Tuna Poke Bowl
When you have the Disney Dining Plan, you’re probably looking to maximize your value when using your credits. One of our favorite ways to use snack credits is during an EPCOT festival at the outdoor kitchens. The Flower and Garden Festival runs from now until June 1st, so if you’re heading there, these are the items to get the most bang for your buck.
There are a LOT of meals to be eaten at Disney World, but breakfast might just be the most underrated one.
Tonga Toast
If you’ve been sleeping on the morning dining options around Disney World, it’s time to wake up (pun very much intended). From character buffets to quick-service hidden gems, there are a handful of spots around the resort where the breakfast offerings are truly worth planning your whole morning around. We’ve rounded up four of our favorites, and we think they deserve a whole lot more attention than they typically get.
Let’s talk about a very real Disney World problem: it’s 10:45PM, you just got back to your hotel after a full park day, your feet are screaming… and your tummy is rumbling.
New food at Contempo Cafe
The catch? Many Disney World quick-service restaurants close around 10 or 11 PM. If you didn’t grab something before heading out of the parks, late-night dining options at your resort can feel seriously limited, especially if you’re a night owl or traveling with hungry kids. And that’s exactly why this app hack feels life-changing.
Who says you have to choose between a great cocktail and an amazing meal?
Inside the lounge!
Disney World hotel bars are seriously underrated when it comes to food, and we’re not just talking about your standard bar snacks here. These spots offer full menus with dishes that can absolutely hold their own against some of the table service restaurants on property. Whether you’re looking for a chill spot to unwind after a park day or want to grab dinner without dealing with a reservation, these seven hotel bars have got you covered.
Disney World is home to a litany of iconic restaurants that are recognized the world over for their theming and placement at the resort. However, not all of these iconic eateries are created equal, according to these experts.
Steak Frites
From quick service offerings in the parks and table-service recreations of iconic film locations to live animal encounters and a once iconic hotel dining spot, seasoned Disney guests are skipping these once go-to dining destinations.
