food IS a theme park
There are tons of amazing places to dine in Disney World. We’ve made our entire career out of celebrating, reviewing, and loving (or sometimes hating) Disney food!
Welcome to Jock Lindsey’s
The theme parks, hotels, and Disney Springs all have incredible dining spots, but they aren’t all created equally. One of the most popular Disney World spots is Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar in Disney Springs. After years of popularity, does it still hold up? We went to find out!
Secret menus at Disney World are hiding in plain sight, and these are the items that guests can’t stop ordering lately!

Secret menu items are a fun find at Disney World restaurants and lounges all over property. While not every location has some, there are a few that do, and when you find them, it feels like a little scavenger hunt. It’s always worth asking your server if they do have any secret items because you’ll never know what you can find!
It’s a question that may come up often when you start planning your Disney World trip: should you stay at a Disney-owned hotel or at one of the many non-Disney owned Disney World Resort hotels? Considering you get much of the same amenities — and perks — at both, you might start looking at your options.
Let’s eat!
If you’re considering a Disney World Resort hotel in Disney Springs, though, one hotel you might consider is the Renaissance Orlando Resort and Spa. Now, this hotel is a good option, and it even has its own table service restaurant, American Kitchen Bar & Grill, which we’ve really loved in the past. Well, we recently revisited American Kitchen Bar & Grill, so let’s see if it still lives up to the hype.
Disney World has so many places to eat that we bet you haven’t even heard of this spot!
Look at all this tasty food!
We raved about how much we love the food offered at Disney World’s hotels. Yes, there’s the Riviera Resort and the Polynesian Resort, but have you ever checked out the Disney Springs area hotels? We recently went to one of those hotels, and we need to spread the word about this pool bar we found!
Disney recently dropped a litany of details about the upcoming Monstropolis at Hollywood Studios, including the confirmation that the land will contain a full-scale version of Harryhausen’s!
Our chopsticks
In the original 2001 Pixar film, Harryhausen’s — named after legendary Hollywood special effects pioneer Ray Harryhausen, whose creature designs inspired the Monsters, Inc. design team — is a sushi restaurant in Monstropolis. Its head chef is a six-armed octopus. Why six instead of eight? Because the character is a reference to the 1955 film It Came from Beneath the Sea, which features a similar six-armed creature created by — guess who? — Ray Harryhausen. Disney fans have long hoped that the company would recreate the restaurant at one of its theme parks.
When it comes to dining at the Mexico Pavilion in EPCOT, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle-of-the-road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious that’s also in a ride, you can find that, too!
La Hacienda de San Angel
We recently stopped by La Hacienda de San Angel at EPCOT to see what was cookin’, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Mexico Pavilion? Find out here!
When it comes to dining at Disney World, there are so many incredible options. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you want to know which restaurants are worth the price.
Grand Floridian Resort
We recently stopped by Narcoossee’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa to have a fancy meal, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. So let’s see if this fine-dining restaurant is worth a visit on your next Disney World vacation!
When it comes to dining at the Disney World Resorts, one of the hotels at the top of the game (perhaps even the #1 choice) is Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort.
Enchanted Rose Lounge
This Monorail-area hotel is a fan-favorite for many reasons, but its dining is out of this world. From the delightful 1900 Park Fare character meal and the charming Garden View Lounge tea experience to the Michelin-starred Victoria & Albert’s, there are plenty of delicious choices. And recently, we stopped at the hotel’s Beauty and the Beast-themed lounge for a full review.
There are a LOT of options when it comes to dining in Walt Disney World, so how do you decide what to add to your list for your next Disney vacation? We review Disney restaurants and food EVERY DAY, so you know what to pick!
Cítricos
Hidden on the second floor at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, you’ll find one of Disney’s 2022 Michelin Guide-recognized restaurants. Today, we’re bringing you along for our FULL review of Cítricos, so you can see if it’s a dining location you want to visit on your next trip!
When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. That’s VERY true over in EPCOT, where you’ve got dozens of restaurants with unique cuisine from all around the world in World Showcase. That’s far from all the restaurants in the park, though, because you’ve also got the spots up at the front of the park.
Time to eat at Garden Grill!
We recently stopped by Garden Grill for breakfast to see if there’s really a big difference (other than the menu offerings and price) between dining here early in the day vs. for lunch and dinner. Is it worth it to save some money dining at this character meal for breakfast and potentially struggle to get a reservation, or are they about the same? Let’s find out!
