food IS a theme park
Have you ever wondered where the Skippers of the Jungle Cruise go during their off time?
Skipper Canteen!
We recently stopped by the Skipper Canteen at Magic Kingdom, a place that we consider an underrated gem at the popular park. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? We’re here to give you our full review.
Is it just us, or are smoothis some of the most underrated drinks ever?! Seriously, we love a good smoothie!
Disney Springs!
We recently went to Disney Springs to try two of Joffrey’s Handcrafted Smoothies, and we’re sharing our thoughts with you. For those wondering, yes, we are getting frozen smoothies in December. For others wondering, yes, it does get cold here despite it being Florida!
Disney World is changing the game for the Disney Dining Plan in 2026, and we don’t want you to get caught off guard!
It’s time to eat!
If you thought your Disney Dining Plan strategy was set in stone, think again. In 2026, Disney World is shaking up which restaurants accept the plan for lunch and dinner, meaning some of your “go-to” spots may no longer be available when you want them most. From Italian favorites to Disney Springs hotspots, here’s everything you need to know so your next trip is delicious and stress-free.
Casey’s Corner is a staple Magic Kingdom counter-service restaurant. It’s one of those places that you either love or you do your best to avoid. As for us, we love a good Casey’s Corner snack, especially with some plastic cheese!
Casey’s Corner
If you see us stopping by Casey’s Corner, you can probably assume we’re grabbing some corn dog nuggets and fries with a side of plastic cheese. However, we also enjoy trying the various other menu items here. Casey’s frequently offers seasonal items in addition to its staple menu. One item that is available year-round is the Chicago-style Hot Dog. Since it had been a while since we had the Chicago dog at Casey’s before, we decided it was time to give it a taste test!
Starting our Disney World adventures off with a coffee drink is one of the best parts of our day. Imagine: you get to the park super early in the morning, in time to rope drop a few rides, then pop over to a Joffrey’s kiosk for a quick pick-me-up. YUM! 😋
Joffrey’s at Hollywood Studios
You’ll find Joffrey’s stands at several locations in each park, and they all offer different featured menu items, while also serving all the staples. This is one of the fun things about grabbing your coffee at Joffrey’s — you can try so many different specialty drinks! We recently stopped by the Pixar Plaza Joffrey’s stand in Hollywood Studios to try the tried-and-true Round ‘Em Up Frozen Cappuccino to see if it’s just as good as we remembered.
It’s getting busy at Disney World, and that is creating some dining complications.
Roaring Fork
We visit Disney World every single day — even during the busiest of times. We’ve literally seen it all, and yet, there are still some trends that throw us off or disrupt our day. Such is the case with a problem that is plaguing Disney World hotel restaurants these days.
One of our favorite things about visiting EPCOT is all the FOOD. There are snacks galore, fantastic restaurants, and tasty multicultural treats. You can practically try something new every time you go to the park, and that’s exactly what we try to do.
Snacking around World Showcase is lots of fun!
As you wander around World Showcase, you can stop and try fun international snacks from each of the 11 countries. Many of the items don’t change at the permanent venues, or they’ll offer signature menu items with additional seasonal offerings. As we were visiting the Japan pavilion the other day, we realized it had been a while since we had tried the Kakigori at the Kabuki Café. This is a fun, traditional Japanese shaved ice treat with lots of options, and we want to let you in on the secrets of this sweet and refreshing treat!
We have quickly become big fans of the new Wailulu Bar & Grill at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort — Island Tower. Not only did the gorgeous views, airy atmosphere, and beautiful artwork sell us, but the food here is great.
Wailulu Bar & Grill
We tried this restaurant right when it opened, and we keep coming back to it. Soon, you’ll be able to make reservations here, but for now, we simply stopped by again because we had to try another dish that we think will be super popular (at least, it should be)! This entree and drink combo will have you scraping the bottom of your bowl and ordering another round. So let’s dive in, shall we?!
Many of us first went to Disney World as children, and children feature heavily in most Disney vacation plans. The rides, the characters, the shows, and the buffets with counters featuring kid-friendly foods signal that this destination is family-friendly. But the truth is, Disney World has always featured spaces designed for adults, from the original Top of the World Lounge that opened in the Contemporary in 1971, to the 21+ Pleasure Island nightclub district, to the ages 10 and up limitation at Disney World’s most upscale restaurant, Victoria & Albert’s.
A Walk Through the Garden Mocktail
Adults who go to Disney without kids tend to get a bad rap — but Disney has always built spaces with adults in mind. From high-end restaurants to cocktail lounges, spas, and resort experiences, parts of Disney World were designed for grown-ups from the very beginning. And yes — it’s true that Disney is banning kids from some restaurants. But that’s not new, and it’s not scandalous.
Isn’t the Christmas season at Disney World just the best?! The decorations, the holiday cheer, the music, and the TREATS!
Cheerful Elf Latte!
We recently went to both Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios to try two new holiday drinks at Joffrey’s! These are Annual Passholder exclusive drinks —so if you have an AP and are a fan of coffee and festive flavors, you’re going to want to try them out.
