By 2 Comments

When you think of the BEST restaurants to get your grub on around Disney World, we’re willing to bet there’s one hidden gem you’re leaving out! We’ve dined at them all — the upscale, the casual, and everything in between. But, what truly sets this restaurant apart is some of its most popular dishes that folks rave about for years after dining here — and for good reason!

We recently stopped by Splitsville Luxury Lanes at Disney Springs 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 Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here!

By 29 Comments

It’s been about a year since the popular — and somewhat controversial — Cake Bake Shop opened at Walt Disney World’s Boardwalk, and we’re still asked often: “Is it worth the hefty price tag?”

A new cake slice!

After a construction process that felt like it lasted a decade, the restaurant by Gwendolyn Rogers opened to positive reviews for its food… and some side-eye about its prices. So a year later, what do we think of the shop’s $20+ cake slices and other treats? Let’s find out…

REVIEW: We Tried 6 Of The Most Popular Donut Flavors At Disney World, And Our Number One Pick Shocked Us!

By 3 Comments

Did you know there is an exclusive donut store tucked away at Disney World? You can find this donut store at Disney Springs, serving up some unique donut creations — as well as classic flavors we all know and love! It can be easy to walk right by without noticing it, as it’s located down a side street between the AMC Theater and Splitsville Luxury Lanes, but we think you should make a stop by this shop!

Strawberry Iced & Sprinkles

It is called Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew, and as you can probably guess by the name, it serves up donuts and cold brew (plus some delicious chicken tenders!) We recently stopped by to review this restaurant’s main attraction and find out which donuts are the top 3 donuts at this exclusive donut store.

Victoria Falls Lounge

We recently stopped by Victoria Falls Lounge at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Resort Jambo House 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 Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here!

REVIEW: This Restaurant Provides One of the Most Unique Experiences at Disneyland

By 1 Comment

Disneyland offers a special dining experience that you CAN’T get at any other Disney Park!

Truly a blue bayou!

It’s tough to find a more notable bucket list Disneyland restaurant than the Blue Bayou Restaurant! This atmospheric dining experience in New Orleans Square sits within the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction near the bayou and boarding area of the ride. This historic and gorgeous restaurant opened in 1967  and now serves as inspiration for many other atmospheric dining experiences that you can find at Disney Parks worldwide. While this iconic restaurant is more divisive these days when it comes to quality and service, one of our most recent reviews tried to settle the debate of whether or not a visit is still worth your time.

Tucked away at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge — Kidani Village is one of our favorite hidden gem restaurants.

Bread Service at Sanaa

Sanaa is a table service spot that’s situated on the edge of the savanna, so the windows offer a stunning view of the animals during the daytime. It’s not usually hard to get a reservation here, but the food is usually pretty great. I recently stopped by for a little bit of quality control testing, so let’s do a full, updated restaurant review — come along with me!

Are you overbooking your Disney World dining reservations?

One of our meals at Homecomin’

Whether you’ve been to Disney World 100 times or you’re getting ready for your first-ever trip, one thing is for certain: Disney dining is always changing — evolving, if you will.
