food IS a theme park
Pixar, Pixar, Pixar: you’re keeping us busy here at the DFB! With the fabulous grand opening of Pixar Pier at Disneyland Resort and the barely-out-of-the-box Toy Story Land that just opened at Walt Disney World, we’re on Pixar overload (and WE LOVE IT).
Heading to the Incredicoaster
New Orleans Square
is one of our favorite areas of Disneyland Resort — and not just because it’s the home of Cafe Orleans, where we happily nosh on three of our top Disney Parks eats: the Monte Cristo sandwich, Pommes Frites with amazing Spicy Cajun Remoulade, and Mickey-Shaped beignets (which we can finally enjoy at Walt Disney World, too!).
New Orleans Square
New Orleans Square also happens to be the location of two of the park’s most iconic rides: Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion. And it’s these must-do attractions that have been immortalized as only Starbucks can: on a You Are Here Mug!
LOTS of news coming out of Disney’s Hollywood Studios today! We’ve been part of a Media Preview for Disney World’s newest land which opens TOMORROW: Toy Story Land! But we also got to hear and see more about what’s in store for another Land opening in the park in late fall of 2019: Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge!
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Concept Art
When guests set foot on the never-before-seen planet of Batuu, they will have the chance to catch up with familiar characters and meet new ones. Ultimately, we will each “discover our own Star Wars stories.” [Read more…]
We’ve been super busy all over Pixar Pier in Disney California Adventure showing you — among everything on the Pier — the new snack kiosks which include Señor Buzz Churros, Poultry Palace, Angry Dogs, and Jack-Jack Cookie Num Nums!

But there’s one more kiosk to visit. And though technically it’s not brand new — as it opened in early May, prior to the rest of Pixar Pier — we’d be remiss if we didn’t bring you back to Adorable Snowman Frosted Treats, as it is very much a part of the snacking scene on Pixar Pier! [Read more…]

The fun hasn’t stopped on Pixar Pier! Disney California Adventure’s newest Land in Disneyland Resort celebrates the fun and friendship represented by the films of Pixar.
Pixar Pier!
We’ve had a blast covering every inch of Pixar Pier, and we’ve already brought you our full review of Lamplight Lounge.
But today we’re starting our stop-by-stop tour of the new snack kiosks on Pixar Pier. Though we showed you all of them while we were Live at Pixar Pier, we’ll start our one-by-one kiosk close-up at Jack-Jack Cookie Num Nums! [Read more…]
Have a hankerin’ for a Jumbo Turkey Leg while you’re at Pixar Pier? Then just look for this GIANT FUN MEAL…
Poultry Palace
… by the name of Poultry Palace!
We’re continuing our reviews of each new food kiosk on the brand new Pixar Pier. (You can see every single stop along Disney California Adventure’s newest Land here.) You’ll find Poultry Palace on Toy Story Boardwalk — one of the land’s four neighborhoods inspired by the films and characters of Pixar. In the case of Poultry Palace, inspiration comes from the Pixar short “Toy Story Toon: Small Fry.” And this kiosk also happens to be a terrific photo op… (FYI, fun size Zurg is supposed to be the “toy” in the fun meal, but it seems he hasn’t arrived, yet.)
