food IS a theme park
We drove like the wind when we found out about the Bullseye Cupcake from The Artist’s Palette at Saratoga Springs!
The Artist’s Palette
If you say peanut butter, chocolate, and cupcake in the same sentence, you can bet we’ll be there to check it out!
is located at the Grand Floridian Resort just a Monorail ride away from Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and Polynesian Village Resort. (And soon — possibly via walkway from Magic Kingdom!)
This Victorian-inspired restaurant serves table service eats for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with identical breakfast and lunch menus resulting in some truly epic brunch bites. We’re talking a Buttermilk Chicken and Waffle, an Eggs Benedict Flight, and more. Click here to see why brunch is brilliant at Grand Floridian Cafe!
But on this visit, we’re grabbing dinner. The dinner menu here is a separate entity from breakfast and lunch, but some popular ‘brunch’ items do appear at dinner, too! The Lobster ‘Thermidor’ Burger is available all day (see that review here!), as is the Miso-Glazed Salmon (reviewed below!). The Artisan-Made Spinach-Ricotta Ravioli is a favorite that’s good to go for three meals a day (more on that below, too!), and the Buttermilk Fried Chicken makes a reprise at dinner (but without the waffle).
The point is: Grand Floridian Cafe’s got your tastebuds’ backs all day long! 😉 So let’s see how dinner stacks up and whether Grand Floridian Cafe is good for more than just a fabulous brunch.
Grand Floridian Cafe
The atmosphere of Grand Floridian Cafe echos the Victorian tones of the entire Resort. [Read more…]
When those post-Disney Parks blues kick in, there are lots of ways to fill the void. Some of us read trip reports, others ghost plan future trips (don’t say we’re the only ones who do this…), and still others pore over their vacation photos and videos. All of these efforts to reclaim the magic are valid, but there’s one way in particular that DFB recommends: eating. But not just any old snacks! We’re talking Disney Parks food favorites you can find at home!
Reclaim the magic at home!

New attractions, new restaurants, new hotels — Disney World is getting some MAJOR renovations (that we are extremely excited about) currently.
Riviera Resort Skyliner Construction
With changes in the park happening in full swing, it’s no surprise that the transportation system is getting some pretty big updates to better accommodate guests AND the new developments. So what’s so different about transportation and how does it affect your stay at Disney World? Well, we have some good (and bad!) news for you, friends!

Who let the dogs out?! ALL 101 of them!!
All-Star Movies Resorts
The All-Stars Resorts in Disney World continually release character themed cupcakes that are both adorable AND delicious. And, their latest addition is no different! It’s too doggone cute!!
Okay, fine, fine. I’m cool. I’m fine. There’s only a new Hercules themed cupcake in Disney World!!
All-Star Music
After spotting the villain at Villains After Hours (through August 8th in Magic Kingdom!), we couldn’t help but melt for him. Now at one of the All-Stars Resorts, you can get a taste of a treat straight from the gods.
Disney’s Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show
is a luau feast featuring Polynesian-inspired food and entertainment in an open-air setting.
Located in Luau Cove at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, this dinner show highlights hula traditions, enthusiastic drumming, fire dancing, and more as diners enjoy platters of all-you-care-to-enjoy eats.
The Disney official backstory of Spirit of Aloha is that the host of the luau, Auntie Wini, is bidding aloha to one of her ‘ohana who’s heading “to the mainland” for college. And because when you’re at the Polynesian, everyone is ‘ohana, you’re invited to the celebration, too!
And we have to say: Auntie Wini does know how to put on a show! But would we be as taken with the food as we were with the entertainment? Let’s take a ride on the Hawaiian roller coaster that is Spirit of Aloha and see is we feel the love.
Spirit of Aloha
Disney’s Spirit of Aloha offers two showtimes: 5:15PM and 8:15PM. [Read more…]
The Skyliner Gondola System isn’t open yet, but we’re trying to get as many little peeks as possible.
