food IS a theme park

We’re taking you on a tour of NEW Holiday Treats like Eggnog Fudge, festive drinks, and MORE! Now, we’re trying a classic and CUTE new treat!
We’re at Disney World’s Contemporary Resort, my friends! And guess what else is here?
Disney’s Contemporary Resort
EGGNOG FUDGE!! (OK, the title may have given you a slight hint. 😉 ) We spotted it in the bakery case tucked in Bayview Gifts and were SO PUMPED to see this classic confection return for the season! [Read more…]
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has served up some iconic drinks over the years, including the Lapu Lapu from Tambu Lounge, and of course the wide array of legendary libations at Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto.

Over at Barefoot Pool Bar, however, we think we just discovered another drink to enter the Polynesian Hall of Fame, and it even came with a fun holiday twist!
A few months ago, we shared that the Luna Park Pool and the Keister Coaster (a.k.a. the scariest slide in Disney World) over at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn would be getting a refurb.

We’ve been keeping an eye on the construction at this location and even heard from a Cast Member that our clown buddy has made his way to the big top in the sky and isn’t expected to return! We still haven’t been able to get a look at what’s going on behind the construction walls here to see what new look this slide will be rocking once it reopens, and it looks like we may not get that big reveal for a little bit longer.
The sparkliest cupcake this side of the Seven Seas Lagoon just got a late autumn makeover!
Halloween Cupcake With Rocky Road
You may recall the Rocky Road Cupcake, which glittered and glistened its way back into Captain Cook’s at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort this year as one of the many Halloween treats that hit the scene. Though Spooky Season has ended (and, ICYMI, the holidays are pretty much HERE!), you can still enjoy it… but in a new way! [Read more…]
There are lots of changes to the transportation options at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort today!
Polynesian Monorail Station
As a part of the MAJOR renovation going on at the Polynesian through Summer 2021, the monorail station has CLOSED. For those staying in the DVC Villas and Bungalows, there is now Disney bus transportation available!
As you might have heard, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort is getting some MAJOR work done right now.
Polynesian Monorail Station
The Polynesian is set to remain closed through the summer of 2021 for refurbishments in most areas of the resort, including a Moana-themed makeover to the guest rooms. As a part of this work, the monorail station at the resort is now closed.
We enjoyed a lovely meal earlier this summer at the signature California Grill in Disney’s Contemporary Resort.
California Grill
From cocktails to bread service to Beer and Cheese Soup and MUCH more, our meal was filled with highlights. That said, we couldn’t help but notice that one of our favorite items was not on the menu during our most recent visit: the Sonoma Goat Cheese Ravioli. [Read more…]
We’ve eaten a LOT of breakfast stuff at Disney World, from waffles (LOTS of waffles) and breakfast wraps to breakfast sandwiches.
Landscape of Flavors
So we feel we know a little bit about what to expect from breakfast foods at Disney Resorts. But one morning, we headed over to Landscape of Flavors at the Art of Animation Resort to check out what was for…you guessed it…breakfast, and got something a little…unexpected.
Although it’s starting to look a lot like Christmas at Disney World, it’s still technically fall, and we are loving all those cozy fall flavors that come with the season.
New Fall Snacks from Gasparilla Island Grill
We’re talking about pumpkin flavors, apple flavors, maple flavors, and all those kinds of things that remind us of cooler weather and falling leaves! And we just discovered three NEW fall-flavored snacks at Disney World!
